Quote from Lionel Troy on 4 June 2024, 08:13POP OF THE NIGHT:
The closing segment this week was an absolute corker. With the kind of characters we have on our books right now, the odds were screaming out for OSW’s own Ministry of Darkness-like stable, and by god did we see it come to the fore in a big way here. Firstly, Gravedigger - what an addition to the roster. I won’t lie that I was absolutely pumped to see the show image from CarnEVIL this week, with the The Shovelman’s appearance lending a huge nod to the first iteration of my old character Rain… Very cool! Secondly, what about the surprises that kept on coming? First Blaze, then Hayes, then Malakai – and not to mention the army of hooded acolytes that followed Midnight close. This was Attitude-era props at its absolute best, and I’m so excited to see where this group go from here. Tombstone and Malakai will be formidable as fuck, Blaze just turned a new brand of badass, and with Charlie stepping up as Connor’s apprentice, I really see the character and handler going places.
Awesome, awesome stuff guys.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
- How the hell are Felix and Doom going to be able to push back on Six Feet Under?
- If Redgrave didn’t kill Harold Attano’s wife, then who did?
- What will become of Destructo Boy? Will the Odyssey Pool render him another member of SFU in the making I wonder?
- Does Narcissa really hold the key? Who among her ranks is it?
HAVE YOUR SAY:
It feels like Lionel’s plans to silence Colt with the Liontamer have failed miserably. Colt is still very much wide awake to Troy’s scheming, and by exposing him to Nox’s gasses last time out, the Reverend has seemingly abetted only to waken the beast given Ramsey’s aggressive manner throughout the segment entitled ‘Sanctuary’.
I guess you could certainly say the Journalist has an axe to grind this week (sorry).

Quote from Raven on 4 June 2024, 17:43POP OF THE NIGHT: (What was the moment, in segment, that you enjoyed the most and why?)
Obviously, this has to go to that last segment. I am not sure anyone saw that coming, or at least I didn’t. Midnight’s faction being under the control of Tombstone is dangerous. I got a very strong Ministry of Darkness vibe from that group. At the moment, I’m not sure how anyone can combat that. I’m interested to see if there’s a larger strategy or if inflicting maximum carnage is the plan.
BURNING QUESTIONS: (What questions does the show have you asking after reading?)
- Midnight’s strategy with joining Tombstone?
- Who killed Attano’s wife?
- Has Colt Ramsey lost his sanity?
- What will Jackdaw decide?
HAVE YOUR SAY: (How did you like your characters portrayal and what are your thoughts on your current storyline? What, if any, improvements could be made?)
The segment was interesting this week. There seems to be a reason why Midnight is hung up on getting Raven to join his band of merry men. I’m curious what the henchman is alluding to in regards to “making his dreams come true.” There’s only one thing that comes to mind and I’m not sure that’s possible. I’m excited to see where it goes.

Quote from CJ Thorpe on 6 June 2024, 22:03POP OF THE NIGHT:
Six Feet Under. What a great stable that's been formed up here. I second whoever called it being something that feels like the Ministry. We've got this monster Tombstone, now surrounded by a group of people who aren't slouches themselves. The Gravedigger is a bad ass addition to the roster, and I can't wait to see where this stable goes.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
What is Raven's biggest dream?
What is the Pool going to do to Destructo Boy? And did he actually start the fire?
Did Troy open a can of worms giving Colt that stuff from Nox?
What did the Kingdom do when they found a bloody Mr. Kleen?
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Thorpe - Man, I've been wondering if Redgrave actually did it or not for a minute now. It's still up in the air. great twist, and I'm interested to see where this goes.
Gemini - JTR seems to be pissing his soldiers off. And does Narcissa actually know the key, or is she bluffing?

Quote from Jasper Redgrave on 6 June 2024, 22:52POP OF THE NIGHT: Six Feet Under
LEAPING SHOVEL TO THE FUCKING SKULL!This was a great moment that serves as a strong point for a debuting character. Probably one of the best debuts of a new character in quite some time if you ask me. Couple this with the fact that Tombstone now heads a stable called Six Feet Under, and it's hard not to pop for this segment.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
- What will the dynamic be between Six Feet Under members? Midnight and Troy are basically both leaders of their own cults, do they clash heads because of that?
- How did Tombstone trump both of them into following HIM?
- What happens to Destructo Boy after a second dip in the Pool?
- Does Narcy really know who the key is?
- Does JTR accept the offer?
- If not Redgrave, then who?
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Interesting. I had always wondered if it were true or not, as it had been kinda glanced over by Attano I feel. I loved the fact that Thorpe called out his brother for being a shit cop. So, who did do it?

Quote from Klaus Way on 7 June 2024, 00:17POP OF THE NIGHT: (What was the moment, in segment, that you enjoyed the most and why?)
Has to be the introduction to Gravedigger in Six Feet Under, of course. The tease in the main page banner only served to ramp up the tension, and then he breaks it by busting Felix Foley open. What then unravelled to unveil Six Feet Under to us was a great segment, establishing the group's dominance and setting up some pretty tasty potential storylines. What will Doom and Destructo Boy make of this?BURNING QUESTIONS: (What questions does the show have you asking after reading?)
- Did Jasper really not kill Attano's daughter or is this (As Nick Diamond said) just another mindgame?
- What happened when the Kingdom found Mr Kleen? How did he become the Yellow Python?
- Whats Dahlia's plan for Victor? (and will it work?)
- What next for Destructo Boy? What will the pool do to him this time?
- Who is the fifth key!? (and how would Narcissa know this info?)
HAVE YOUR SAY: (How did you like your characters portrayal and what are your thoughts on your current storyline? What, if any, improvements could be made?)
Interested Parties was a good continuation from Klaus' introduction last week. Jackdaw certainly seems Freakish enough that Klaus would want to recruit him, though I'm not sure of Khan's motives for wanting him yet. Nor am I sure what Aurora's angle is on this. Lots of questions, which I'm sure we'll get answers to in the coming weeks. I know where I want this to end though... the freaks vs. Six Feet Under! And nice to get a win under the belt on my first proper match back. Hopefully Klaus is a fan favourite going forward - he's very different to any other character I've played here!

Quote from Jackson Cade on 7 June 2024, 04:26POP OF THE NIGHT:
Has to be Six Feet Under for me. I'm always a sucker for a faction forming if I'm being honest, especially when it's absolutely star studded. Tombstone, Midnight, Blaze, and Gravedigger? They even have their own personal jobber with Mark Hayes! I'm absolutely loving this already, and I really do wonder just how wild this group is going to be, especially with a heel Tombstone at the helm.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
- Is Jasper telling the truth about Attano's daughter?
- What's next with Mr. Kleen and his Kingdom story?
- Is Narcy telling the truth? And if so, just who the hell is the key?
- What happens now that Destructo Boy has taken his second dip in the pool?
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Jackson Cade: Now we have a hell of a hook here! I'm actually curious to see if Cade does any real investigative work going into next week in regards to Michaela's death. With the new information we've been given, true or not, one has to wonder what Jackson might dig up.
Drewitt: I'm very interested to know if JTR will take some kind of deal here. Because Narcissa was deadly serious, literally betting her life on having the key. I just want to know how, if she's speaking the truth, she came upon this information.

Quote from El Mariachi Muerte on 7 June 2024, 04:40POP OF THE NIGHT:
SIX FEET UNDER
I'll go with the consensus here. First of all, did the Ferryman just steal O'Death's entrance theme 😛
I loved the debut scene of Gravedigger (loving the new character btw, a great idea and direction). This looks like a bloody FORCE of a stable being formed here, and in what scenes. I really popped for Blaze coming out and turning on Foley, he's the perfect person on the roster to really go against to score big heel points too. Just a brilliantly put together segment!
BURNING QUESTIONS:
- The big question for me is about Narcissa. Does she actually know who the key is, or is she just bullshitting to get an advantage? If she does know, where does this leave Apokalypsis? She's not exactly the type of person they want to be indebted to.
- I'm going to echo another question here. If not Redgrave, then who????
HAVE YOUR SAY:
I'm really interested in what is going on here. There's just so many dynamics at play that I genuinely cannot figure out who is going to end up being the good guy in all of this, or if they're all just assholes in the end (It's OSW, so likely the latter).
I don't know who is on the level and who is not. Intriguing stuff though. Bring on ROD!

Six Feet Under
Just the number of reveals here. The Debut of Gravedigger, the turn of Blaze, the alliance with Malikia and Tombstone. This is a fucking power stable formed here tonight. This is all going to be a fucking dangerous group that could rival the Uprising when at full power. This whole segment was completely action-packed and brought many characters to the forefront.
BURNING QUESTIONS: (What questions does the show have you asking after reading?)
Who killed Michaela?
Where will Jackdaw go?
What will emerge from the Odyssey Pool?
How will what remain of the Pool Boys counter Six Feet Under?
HAVE YOUR SAY: (How did you like your character's portrayal and what are your thoughts on your current storyline? What, if any, improvements could be made?)
Attano: I am not sure how to deal with the doubt left by the thought that Jasper didn’t kill Harold’s daughter. As a person writing for the Harold character, I’ve internalized a lot of contempt for Jasper Redgrave under that presumed guilt of Jasper, only to find out that he may not be the man who robbed Harold of his reunion with his daughter. My thoughts go to what happens if he didn’t do it. What will this mean for Attano?
Nox: I was intimidated this week going up against Jackdaw after his performance in LTTS, to come away with the W was a boost to my morale and to the Nox character.

Quote from Narcissa Balenciaga on 7 June 2024, 06:14POP OF THE NIGHT:
Six Feet Under takes it for me all day, a ministry of darkness style stable, pump that shit into my veins. I wondered where Tombstone would go after losing the title and I'm loving this major heel turn for them. Getting new people to join and having people betray their old sides to join this new group. Amazing way to introduce this group and I'm really curious about how they'll continue to cause chaos. A new group and a new character at that with Gravedigger? I'm so hyped for this.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
Is Redgrave really innocent from that one specific murder of Michaela?
Does Narcy really know who the key is or is she bluffing to them trying to keep herself safe?
What's Gravedigger's backstory and how long has Tombstone been prepping Six Feet Under?
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Well I hope everyone loved Carnevil, had a fun time creating the card and Dean made a cracker show around it.
As for Narcissa, love that she is playing or trying to decieve Apokalypsis with the key, she knows what's most important to them and of course she uses it to her advantage and safety. Wil this actually play out how she wants it to or will the door surprise everyone?
