Quote from Mighty Mighty on 2 February 2025, 15:41TOP THREE MOMENTS:
(Three moments of the show that stood out to you and why.)
- Justice - TOMBSTONE RETURNS! I love the tease of what could be the pontential feud with Gravedigger, especially what happened at Red Snow.
- The Recruitments between two sides - As I kept reading the show, Both sides have been trying to get the same people and especially Klause still hasn't make a decision, either side is trying hard to get him.
- Will You Comply?/Nowhere Near Finished - I love the fact that all four men will somehow be involved with each other; like the second segment, it's nowhere near finish
BURNING QUESTIONS:
(What questions has the show left you with?)
- Is Nero done with both Mighty and Red? - I see that he is now concentrating on Ezekiel but with the title being with Red as the result of the match, will Nero continue to pursue the both of them?
- Will Klaus join The Preservationists? - I can see that Jasper Redgrave is trying to persuade Klaus to join their cause, which potentially brings 'The Circus' with them. So I'm really intrigued with what's going to happen.
- What is Nox's 'Chemical Weapon?' - With Nox mentioning that he is developing a chemical solution to turn the tide in their favor, what is that chemical and what implications will it have not just in OSW but in Arcadia as a whole?
MY FAVOURITE PROMO OF THE WEEK:
I personally love Mom & Dad RP this week; it shows the chemistry and struggles of both Felix and Destructo Boy and it shows with this RP and the lead-up before this show
HAVE YOUR SAY:
I love how the show keep being consistent and all thought out. I would like to thank the writers and bookers on making this event a blast.

Quote from Nero on 2 February 2025, 20:34TOP THREE MOMENTS
1. The Golden Ticket I & II - Grouping these two segments together this week since they tie into the same strategic play. The House of Sovereigns seems to be relying heavily on bribery here, with Zeus and his allies cleverly targeting those still unaffiliated in the Civil War. By offering an Invasion Match ticket as an olive branch, they’re looking to bolster the Preservationists' dwindling numbers. Ares made no mention of Zeus demanding loyalty in return, but let’s be real - that’s likely the expectation. A smart maneuver from The Baron, employing the classic "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" approach. This move could pay major dividends down the line, and it certainly sets up a pretty sweet-looking Invasion Match lineup so far.
2. Why III - El Mariachi Muerte dropped an absolute bombshell here, solidifying his stance on the whole No Man’s Land door fiasco. Acting in self-defense against Zeus' "cease to exist" play makes his actions far more understandable. But could there be more to it? Perhaps Muerte has been leading Zeus on a wild goose chase while secretly digging deeper into the mysteries behind that door. The way he opened up to his former allies was powerful - equal parts emotional and revealing. Apokalypsis finally seem back on the same page, and Muerte’s willingness to lay down his life for Arcadia added even more depth to his character. Phenomenal storytelling all around.
3. Justice - Tombstone returned with authority, making a beeline for the very man who exiled him from Arcadia, while also saving Jackson Cade in the process, though he didn’t seem too concerned about that. Gravedigger wasted no time getting out of harm’s way, but the Valkyrie now has a massive target on his back, and the biggest dog in the yard is ready to strike. The Ferryman is back, and this storyline is shaping up to be one of the most intense yet. Can’t wait to see how it unfolds in the weeks ahead.
BURNING QUESTIONS
1. What was the font used during this show? Because honestly, it was sick as hell.
2. The term "Trojan" at the end of Sinon definitely caught my attention. Could there be a double agent within Deathrow, working with an agenda separate from the Seekers? A Zeus-planted Trojan Horse, perhaps? Or does Trojan mean something else entirely? Could it be linked to Nero, maybe in the form of a virus? So many possibilities, and that’s what makes this so exciting.
3. Jasper Redgrave survived both his World Championship defense and Jackson Cade’s attack in the final segment, but the Commissioner isn’t backing down. Can Redgrave outlast both again when Invasion rolls around?
FAVOURITE PROMO OF THE WEEK
Jackson Cade/To Live - Mentioned this on Discord earlier in the week, but Dawson’s promo stood head and shoulders above the rest in my opinion. Raw, passionate, and deeply personal. It beautifully captured both Cade’s grief over his brother’s death and his unwavering determination to seek justice. A 10/10 piece of writing.
HAVE YOUR SAY
Big congrats to Red/Stas on your first OSW title win. You’ve hit the ground running, adapting to the OSW style quickly and delivering consistently strong writing. A well-earned victory, for sure. As for Nero, his focus seems locked on Ezekiel Graves for now, but what exactly does he have on him? Whatever it is, it’s serious enough to make exposure a priority. This play will also put Mighty and Red on high alert one would expect. One last point to mention - the Invasion match itself - which I’m personally stoked to be part of from a handler’s perspective. Should be a hell of a ride.

(Three moments of the show that stood out to you and why.)
- the invasion invitation segments were some of my favorite this show. because this isnt just about the invasion match and all that it can offer. there’s something bigger at play and those tickets and the match exists as just the bridge to make everything work. ares presence as he arrived to deliver the tickets was cool as hell too. definitely interested to see who will get the remaining tickets.
- i did enjoy the marvelous milo way segment. ive been enjoying the backstory of klaus in general, thats been on display the past couple of shows or so. it makes me think that i guess as we get closer and closer to present day or just deeper into his lore, there’s gonna be some revelation or something that’ll really shock us. im sure thats the plan anyway with every story tho lol
- definitely was cool to see tombstone back. hes such a prominent figure that it wouldnt really feel the same without him delivering his signature move to SOMEBODY. we all knew it was comin of course, but im still very interested to follow this story in the coming weeks or so. and to see how much tombstone has changed in terms of maybe his voice, his ideologies, things along those lines.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
what did narcissa take from the night?
who else might join zeus’ preservationists?
whats to that sinon seg and the trojan?
is the apokalypsis inner-beef dead now?
MY FAVOURITE PROMO OF THE WEEK:
i really had a couple i really liked. i enjoyed uno by jasper, a very base or straight forward idea but executed perfectly i would say. i cant remember grimskulls promo title rn but i enjoyed everything about it from the pacing, the way he really dug into the story, mixed with emm and who he is, it was dope from beginning to end. and reds was also cool to read too. it was very different of course but in a good way. really been loving what hes putting out.
HAVE YOUR SAY:
ive enjoyed anton’s program with captain arcadia the past couple weeks. it was like a typical hero vs villain scenario, and shit even got a little dicey with arcadia basically undermining his hero mantle and just about burning down a building full of people, just to get rid of the evil that is anton, very cool dynamics to read and see play out. not sure if that’ll be it for them but im still very much so looking forward to the future.
im also very excited to be put in such a match as storied and paramount as invasion. thats gonna definitely be a fun time.

Quote from Red on 4 February 2025, 23:03TOP THREE MOMENTS:
(Three moments of the show that stood out to you and why.)
- Tombstone's return - even though I thought that Tombstones' "death" previously was a good ending point to that character since it felt he reached closure and internal peace, I still think he is probably one of if not the most important character on the roster, and his stature seems to be a bit like Undertaker's stature in the WWE, so him being back is great for the progression of the plot. It seems like he has unfinished business with Gravedigger and I wonder what effect will he have on the Civil War. Overall I would say Thunderstrike was a difficult event for Gravediggers' character.
- Jackson Cade attacking Redgrave and declares himself as the No.1 contender for the world title - I think Cade is on the rise, especially after beating a difficult match up like Digger, and this win gives him a lot of momentum going forward. His unfinished business with Redgrave and the fact they are on opposite sides of the war, promises a lot of interesting collisions going forward.
- Trojan - I liked the mystery around this segment and it seems like another step Zeus' side have taken in the progression of the war. I wonder who it was and what will be the importance of that individual going forward.
- The golden tickets - The presence of Ares is interesting by itself and I am curious to see what exactly those tickets would mean in relation to Invasion, who will pick which side, etc.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
(What questions has the show left you with?)
I would say that most of the questions are related to the Civil War and the golden tickets, and of course the trojan. I hope we will see a bit more from Zeus in the near future. Also, what significance will Tombstone hold in the progress of the Civil War. In general I would say the Seekers are probably in a stronger position at the moment, especially after Thunderstrike where they won the majority of their bouts.

I'm not gonna lie I barely had a chance to read promos this week unfortunately.
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?)
I'm thrilled of course that I managed to win somehow, and a title belt as well, this early. I was happy with my promo this week and the fact it was good enough to win against such a difficult opposition is a very positive thing for me, so thank you for that opportunity! I hope I will be able to reach those standards in future promos as well. I am curious to see the direction Reds' character will take going forward. I believe the business with Mighty isn't done, and I can only assume the next direction will involve Way & Co, I guess the likes of Ajax the Adonis and Damien Solus. I believe Nero and Graves will be involved with Red as well in the near future. Really looking forward to see what the future will bring the Reds' character.
In general, the graphics and the design of Thunderstrike was absolutely unbelievable, to think you are able to organize not only the content itself but those designs as well is absolutely crazy, so thank you for that. Looking forward for the next episodes and events!

- War Room - I can't say enough how much I love segments like this, where you have a team sitting down and holding shop while talking through what needs to be done. This type of segs are great, and rife with character development.
- Golden Ticket segs. Really like seeing this method to getting the Invasion participants out, and it also gives a story reason. I hope to see this ticket idea be used in future years.
- Cade vs. Redgrave is back on the menu, boys!
BURNING QUESTIONS:
So Klaus got his methods from his pappy, it seems. I have to wonder if Milo will be behind Zephyr's death.
Who did Narcissa take from The Night?
How is Nero going to execute his plan to take down Graves?
Is Klaus Way going to find out about Mighty Mighty's attempts to get out of his contract?
MY FAVOURITE PROMO OF THE WEEK:
I really liked the Jackson Cade promo, but I think my favorite was Harold Attano. I love the fire than Bryno brings to the character, and it really shone through here.
HAVE YOUR SAY:
Grimskull/Gemini - Great way to wrap this little story up. Having EMM's reason be his ceasing to exist makes perfect sense. It actually aligns with how Zeus got Tombstone on his side as well. Great continuity there. Is it true or not? Well, we'll have to wait and see I guess. Good to see Apokalypsis back together, with a much different vibe from last time.

Quote from Reverend Ezekiel Graves on 6 February 2025, 22:03TOP THREE MOMENTS:
1. Sinon: I’ve really been enjoying these cinematic-style segments. There’s a lot of lore being unraveled, and I love piecing together these mysteries. It adds so much depth to the world of OSW.
2. Will You Comply / NXT Title Match: I know I’m being selfish here, but I loved the entire build-up and execution of this match. It was beautifully written, and even though my boy Graves lost, I couldn’t be prouder of how it played out. If Graves had to lose, this was the perfect way for him to go out. Amazing performances from Nero, Red, and Mighty Mighty.
3. Justice: A huge moment in the Tombstone vs. Gravedigger feud. I always love these kinds of surprises in wrestling—the lights go out, and BAM, a return! The atmosphere must have been electric. I can only imagine the energy from the OSW crowd.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
• Who else will receive a Golden Ticket?
• What blackmail does Nero have on Graves?
• What does Trojan mean?
• How badass is a Dean video going to be if Tombstone and Gravedigger have a match?
MY FAVOURITE PROMO OF THE WEEK:
Rabbits of the Moon: There were so many great promos this week, but my pick goes to Wolf Fang Ayame. The flow was perfect for the character, and I’m a sucker for moon references, so this one really hit for me. Beautifully written.
HAVE YOUR SAY:
First, I just want to say it’s been a true honour to hold an OSW championship. I still consider myself a rookie here, so to have had such a strong reign with multiple title defences against some of the top writers in OSW means the world to me.
Congrats to Red! You 100% deserve it, and it’s an honour for my character to be linked to yours with you being the one to dethrone Graves. Wishing you an epic reign.
As for Graves, I couldn’t be happier with where he’s going. The Nero/Graves storyline has me super pumped—it’s such an interesting clash of completely opposite characters, and the potential for this feud is limitless. I can’t wait to see what blackmail Nero has and how it all plays out.
Finally, I’m beyond excited to be given an opportunity to compete in the Invasion Match. There are already some absolute killers in this bout, but win, lose, or draw, I just love the storytelling and being part of something this big. Every match and storyline I get to be part of is an honour, and I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve had so far.
This was an amazing show thank you to everyone who made it happen!

Quote from Klaus Way on 6 February 2025, 22:17TOP THREE MOMENTS:
(Three moments of the show that stood out to you and why.)
- I really enjoyed "The War Room" as an opener, because it set a great scene. I know we've had a fair few overarching storylines now, but this scene took me back to the Judgement Day era, which is exciting as that is still one of my favourite eras since joining. I really hope this builds to the level that did, and having been teased with what's to come I have no doubt by the time we end this season, and ultimately this volume, we'll have been on a journey and a half. And I think all of it starts here, with this War Room, and these plans.
- Likewise, using the golden tickets as a way to try and curry favour with those he wants to recruit is a fun way to advance the story, and it could lead to Invasion being a pretty big melting pot of potential additions to both sides. I think we're in for a very storyline and lore heavy match when these people all get in that ring.
- Sinon was super interesting - Trojan implies that the preservationists got to Dr Saul from within. Not just that but if you go by the Trojan horse story, a recent gift. Gemini is mentioned by name earlier in the scene - could one of Apokalypsis be working for the preservationists?
BURNING QUESTIONS:
(What questions has the show left you with?)
- Can Wolf Fang and Eclipse co-exist if both are on the preservationist side?
- Who was the person that Night loved that he needs Vengeance for? We have the backstory of Drexl's club, but I get the feeling this is something different.
- What exactly does Nero know? It feels like he has more info than we the viewer know about.
- What will Mighty do now Red has rescinded his offer? Surely he will just ACCEPT being in Way & Co!?
MY FAVOURITE PROMO OF THE WEEK:
(Which promo was your favourite of the week?)
I really enjoyed the imagery and venom in "Finish The Song" for Grimskull this week. Great job Laner.
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?)
Drewitt:
I can get behind Muerte's reasoning (for now at least). Wrestling (pun intended) with your own mortality is a big deal, and if you're told "do this or you will cease to exist" by the person you see as the omnipotent being in your whole world, you are going to pay attention to that. We see Apokalypsis standing side by side to end "Why III" but will this last? They seem to be aligning with the seekers, so will Zeus target them specifically, given what Muerte knows?
Klaus:
Ah, so we have The Marvellous Milo Way introduced, and Ada - presumably Klaus' parents. It's interesting that Milo's methods seem to somewhat align with what we've seen from Klaus. The sins of the father and all that. I also wonder if Milo is a big part of the Zephyr storyline, whatever that ends up being. It's certainly intriguing to see where this goes next.
TOP THREE MOMENTS:
(Three moments of the show that stood out to you and why.)
- I really enjoyed "The War Room" as an opener, because it set a great scene. I know we've had a fair few overarching storylines now, but this scene took me back to the Judgement Day era, which is exciting as that is still one of my favourite eras since joining. I really hope this builds to the level that did, and having been teased with what's to come I have no doubt by the time we end this season, and ultimately this volume, we'll have been on a journey and a half. And I think all of it starts here, with this War Room, and these plans.
- Likewise, using the golden tickets as a way to try and curry favour with those he wants to recruit is a fun way to advance the story, and it could lead to Invasion being a pretty big melting pot of potential additions to both sides. I think we're in for a very storyline and lore heavy match when these people all get in that ring.
- Sinon was super interesting - Trojan implies that the preservationists got to Dr Saul from within. Not just that but if you go by the Trojan horse story, a recent gift. Gemini is mentioned by name earlier in the scene - could one of Apokalypsis be working for the preservationists?
BURNING QUESTIONS:
(What questions has the show left you with?)
- Can Wolf Fang and Eclipse co-exist if both are on the preservationist side?
- Who was the person that Night loved that he needs Vengeance for? We have the backstory of Drexl's club, but I get the feeling this is something different.
- What exactly does Nero know? It feels like he has more info than we the viewer know about.
- What will Mighty do now Red has rescinded his offer? Surely he will just ACCEPT being in Way & Co!?
MY FAVOURITE PROMO OF THE WEEK:
(Which promo was your favourite of the week?)
I really enjoyed the imagery and venom in "Finish The Song" for Grimskull this week. Great job Laner.
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?)
Drewitt:
I can get behind Muerte's reasoning (for now at least). Wrestling (pun intended) with your own mortality is a big deal, and if you're told "do this or you will cease to exist" by the person you see as the omnipotent being in your whole world, you are going to pay attention to that. We see Apokalypsis standing side by side to end "Why III" but will this last? They seem to be aligning with the seekers, so will Zeus target them specifically, given what Muerte knows?
Klaus:

Quote from El Mariachi Muerte on 7 February 2025, 02:31TOP THREE MOMENTS:
(Three moments of the show that stood out to you and why.)
- ... Golden Tickets: This is a really cool concept for building the hype around Invasion. Real Willy Wonka vibes, which give the idea that the buzz over having the ticket is going to create some hype in itself. Also gives Ares a real presence on the show in the buildup too.
- ... Sinon: oooh, this was a cool segment. A really cool idea, and just enough of a teaser to leave one wondering, asking questions. We see this Dr Saul enter the end of the first scene, only to find him and the bodies of the seekers in the second. That word... Trojan, it makes one's ears instantly perk up.
- ... The Marvellous Milo Way: I really love segments that offer a bit of history or depth to characters we know. This really helps us dig a bit deeper into Klaus, especially the idea of the family that sticks together, but perhaps that they're tight knit despite Klaus, not because of him.
BURNING QUESTIONS:
(What questions has the show left you with?)
- Trojan: Somebody in the Seekers is a trojan horse, pretending to be on their side but really there to kill them off while they sleep?
- What next for Mighty Mighty? does he continue to try find a way out of his contract?
- Somebody Narcissa killed during the Uprising is connected to Night, but who?
MY FAVOURITE PROMO OF THE WEEK:
(Which promo was your favourite of the week?)
FINISH THE SONG: Damnit, this was gooood. It's that raw emotion type promo that's filled with a logic that so neatly pulls apart a character. But then there's the kicker, he takes that character's very gimmick - the music itself, and turns and twists that around against him. Oh, that leading to the part where Grimskull talks about being the silence, just beautiful. Standing ovation.
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?)
EMM: I really liked this segment. There was something fishy going on about EMM but I couldn't put my finger on it. Too much dodging of the question and questionable choices. But the real story really speaks to Zeus's next level manipulation skills. It makes one wonder if Zeus knows what it is really like on the outside and does whatever he can to keep control over people rather than letting them go through that door, or if he's simply afraid of what is out there and genuinely wants to protect Arcadia from the potential threats.
The emotional manipulation going on here, with EMM genuinely thinking that the outside world has no music so he could cease to exist, that's deeply unsettling. Imagine feeling that your reality could simply cease simply because you walked into the wrong world. Either way, I'm loving the way this turned out, and that Apokalypsis rides again.

Quote from The Night on 7 February 2025, 03:35TOP THREE MOMENTS:
1. Sinon takes the top spot. There's a spy in the Seeker's ranks, and they've already taken a life while infiltrating their base! The only thing we have going for them so far is a codename; "Trojan". Who is this mysterious turncoat, and are they possibly in the Invasion match?
2. Justice takes the second spot. Tombstone's back! And Gravedigger's gonna be in a world of hurt for betraying him now that the Already Dead have returned! The new Ferryman is going to have to back out of the war for a bit to focus on his old foe, but something tells me that he'll be back fighting for the Preservationists when Tombstone picks a side. Can't wait to see these two tear it up!
3. All of the people that got Golden Tickets get third place. Congratulations to our soon to be Invasion participants! And with two more to come, I'm eagerly awaiting to see who'll be next to receive their Golden Ticket!
BURNING QUESTIONS:
What is this chemical that Nox is preparing to turn the tide of war? Some kind of brainwashing gas like he subjected Hatchet to back before Red Snow? Maybe it's a toxic kind that kills upon inhalation? I'm scared to find out, honestly.
Would Muerte really have ceased to exist if the people of Arcadia made their way to the outside? Does music really not exist out of Arcadia? Or is it just another one of Zeus's lies that he told Muerte to get him to work alongside him? I'm sure there's an obvious answer in there, but the question still remains for me.
MY FAVOURITE PROMO OF THE WEEK:
I'm gonna give this to Jasper Redgrave's Uno. I'll admit, I fell in love with this piece when he brought up the twist in the piece. He beautifully dismantled the idea of a wild card and said, rather bluntly, that he'll pay the price for being a third party. It was a rather fun piece overall and something I'll probably reread sometime in the future when I have the time.
HAVE YOUR SAY:
First of all, I want to extend GGs to Robbie. I thought for sure you had me when you posted your piece.
I also am quite happy to see that Night has joined the Seekers in this war. He seems to be under the belief that Narcissa had something to do with his mother's death, I imagine, so him targeting the Queen makes sense on that front. I'm curious to see what that vengeance will entail if it takes more than one night to enact it. What will be his next course of action, I wonder? Can't wait to find out!
