Yeah, the "DEEE! DEEEEEEE! TEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" guy and so on. My memory of how it goes, which IIRC is mainly from a PWO thread, is something like this:

The lead announcer was Akira Fukuzawa. Everyone in the west thought that Orgasm Man and Fukuzawa were one in the same for years, but they were not. Orgasm Man was his sidekick who I forget the name of. And Orgasm Man, it turns out, according to Japanese speakers, was actually kind of a poor man's David Crockett who just yelled poo poo a lot while Fukuzawa did the actual work.

I may be getting some of the specifics wrong, but the gist should be right.

So Cody talked for too long not knowing there was a limit to how long the event was streaming or something and Devlins match got cut? I’d be pissed if I was Devlin too but I have no idea how much Cody is or isn’t to blame there

Nah Devlin's match was the main event but a lot of people had already left to catch the last bus/train or a ride & there was no heat left in the building.

The Elite took excessively long even for them.

I don't know the whole story either, though I'd probably think a referee telling you to "take it home" is in fact relaying a message from management. Then again I'm not a wrestler and maybe referees do sometimes go into business for themselves like that.

Rovert or Von Linus were probably both there and would know more about the situation.

e: already beaten by rovert

were the fans there into the Elite's bullshit at least or was it just masturbatory nonsense?

I was there,

They were told to take it home because the timing was bad, Then Cody got on the mic and talked for 10-15 minutes about how they were going to maybe do All In in Dublin, RIGHT HERE IN DUBLIN IRELAND, and got the crowd really hyped up (which is another massively disrespectful thing to do to the hosting promotion, Tommy Dreamer did the same thing where he said he'd bring House of Hardcore to Dublin and really sell out a bigger venue).

Then people either A were exhausted from the long show, B) Cody's promo excitement or C) leaving for the buses.

Jordan had a good match after but they struggled to get the crowd into it, and it was supposed to be Devlin's coronation as the face of OTT.

On a podcast later, Cody poo poo talked the ref, Foxy for doing his job, and telling him to bring it home, so Cody lost a lot of popularity in Ireland in the wake of it.

Edit: Yeah they were into it. But it was still masturbatory stuff that they were told there wasn't time for.

That's unfortunate. Was Cody's promo to set up for a future event? Was it necessary to cut the promo in the first place?

This was before All In, the branding for the OTT show was entirely 'BEING THE ELITE', so it was all about them. They drew the house to be fair to them. But the promo wasn't to set up anything to do with OTT, it was entirely for them to promote All In and in all likelihood, to waste time because they had been told not to waste time.

Well, looking at what Cody said (hadn't seen it before I typed) in response. To be charitable, maybe he hadn't been told there were times to hit. But the promoter is very aware of timings for his shows (although the Stadium shows tend to run long). I would doubt he hadn't been told there were times, it just would be really odd.

I'd also be surprised that Cody thought that the main event wasn't important and that it was all about him\the Elite. Yeah they drew the house, but if they were supposed to main event, they'd have main evented. They were there to draw people to look at Devlin win the belt.

And as for Brandi, this all went public because Cody started poo poo talking Foxy in a podcast. If anyone is looking for the lack of respect, Cody didn't respect his time, didn't respect the ref when he was told the time, went long after the match was over and then poo poo talked the ref after.

OTOH he kind of apologised in the tweet so maybe it's a storm in a teacup. But if I was Jordan I'd have been pissed. Or Foxy, or the promoter, or any of the other lads who were working the show.

I did the meet and greet and he seemed very nice, and he's always seemed pleasant. Maybe it was just a bad day for him, he had a bad match because one of his lads was concussed, so maybe he wasn't in a great mood.

It would be extremely on brand but he wouldn't get in because he would turn up in a leather leopard pattern suit and they'd know it was him because Michael Hayes is already in the building trying to navigate around the various wrestlers trying to corral him to the bar and away from the band.

I kinda remember that show and wondering why the gently caress they'd put The Elite in the co-main.
