We cut from intense Thursday Night RIOT action to the backstage area where we find our benevolent Villain finishing up an autograph on a young girl's vintage Devil Matsuda plushie (back for a limited time only, exclusively on OCWShop.com!). After jotting down the four complex kana used to spell out his monicker, Matsuda hands the doll back to the little girl, who with mom in tow, embraces the Dear Leader's leg in the most adorable display of affection ever displayed on OCW TV. Before letting go and returning to her chaperone, the little girl lets loose three words…
Girl: Bombaeye motherf---!
Matsuda gives her a high five and returns her to her disgusted parent who is seen scolding the youngster as they leave the scene. Jim Black steps into frame.
Black: Matsuda, I just wanted to get a few words on your upcoming match this weekend, the six man tag between the six members of OMG and C4 who are not competing in the world title match at Certified Greatness.
Matsuda: Do you know how rude it is of you to just run around asking for statements without so much as a simple greeting to myself, or more importantly, the beautiful and talented Minami by my side?
The camera pans to the right, revealing that Minami had been standing there the whole time, with the Light Heavyweight and Ex Division Championships draped over her shoulders like massive gleaming shoulder pads, and a more unfamiliar title belt loosely hanging from her waist.
Black: Well then… My apologies… but you bring up more questions than answers, what is that third belt, Matsuda?
Matsuda: Someone needs to brush up on their pro wrestling history, Jimmy! Why do we employ you again?
Black: Affirmative act--
Matsuda: This beauty here, for those of you who have been living under a rock since before Wrestlution last year, is the prestigious Osaka Pro Junior Heavyweight Championship of the World. The very same belt I beat current World Champion Paul Pugh for just over a year ago. The very same belt I have yet to lose since then. I figured it was unfair to Osak-y here that I parade around TV with Light-y and Ex-y over here, so I'm bringing the entire family to TV!
Black: So… what are we supposed to call you? The Eternal Ex Division Light Heavyweight Junior Heavyweight Champion of Osaka and the Universe?
Matsuda: I like where your head it at Jimmy. However, all I ask to be called is the Junior Heavyweight Triple Crown. Easy enough right? As for C4?
Matsuda turns to the camera with a more serious expression.
Matsuda: You see the reason why we at OMG don't respect C4 is simply because they can't exist without us. The call OMG the Obelisk of OCW because we are just that. A shining pillar on which all the other broken and withered twigs lean.
Matsuda: C4 is just that a withered twig that cannot stand without the obelisk that holds them all up.
Matsuda: And you'll see just that this Sunday in our match… and the main event. Bombaeye motherf---!
Matsuda and Minami leave the frame and the scene fades.

I'm glad he doesn't swear anymore |

Did he just have an interaction with someone without spitting in their face? |

He's a better man Al. |

A brawl there |

RUN MINIO RUN |
Stacy Clarke walks up to an intense looking Tobin Frost as he prepares for his match with Michael Hollywood later in the evening. T-Plex sees Stacy approaching and hops up after finishing his last push up.
Stacy: Tobin, mind if I get a few words from you before your match?
Tobin: Of course Stacy.
Stacy: How are you feeling going up against a man who you haven't faced since Ambition 54 in a Television Championship match?
Tobin: I feel the same way I do going into any match Stacy. I feel like I have a chance to win because I know I've prepared more than anyone else. I've gone back and watched that match from Ambition 50. That was the night that I got my first taste of gold. But that night was a long time ago and we are two different men from the guys who walked into that match. He's comes into tonight as a man who's forsaken one group of scum for another. While I walk into tonight as a man who has fell into a pit and his way back out of it.
Tobin: Tonight Stacy, will be an opportunity for Hollywood and myself to show exactly how far we've come since that night. On that night there was also Eric Schofield and Chris Moore who were on the rise. But over time they've driffted from rookies on the rise to distant memories.
Stacy: What will a win tonight mean for you?
Tobin: It will mean that all my hard work, all my effort has been worth it. Looking back at that night it looked like the names Hollywood, Schofield, Moore, and Frost would be 4 of the new generation of Ambition. But over the course of the year they disappeared one by one leaving only me. Hollywood has come back and I get to validate myself as the top rookie from the Amition's second generation not because those guys left but because I proved it in the ring.
The scene fades as Tobin finishes his remarks.

Sharing is something that your taught to do as a kid, to share your toys, to share your snacks and candy, to share your fun. Sharing for a fully grown adult who wrestles for a living is much much harder. Especially for one Tiberius Octavian Dupree, who has the enormous task of sharing his Betterness with the world.
Trying to keep his mind off recent events involving the C4, Leonheart and associations with The A-Team. A blockade of everything OCW related was his first challenge of the day.
After his second successful session with the Gargantuan Guru of Wisdom Patolomai, Tibby has a better grasp on his inner being. The early morning meeting of minds at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh had Tibby reading passages from "The Dude and The Zen Master".
“Hope's interesting, isn't it? I can't turn hope off, it's hopeless.” - Jeff Bridges
“Let me give you a wonderful Zen practice. Wake up in the morning...look in the mirror, and laugh at yourself.” - Bernie Glassman
Since applying Pato's philosophy the last several days, Tibby's twitching has diminished from from a spasm every minute to only a handful of times a hour. The camera plays a video montage of Dupree sharing his good will and betterness.
The first clip is of Tibby trying to help an elderly lady cross a intersection only to be touched inappropriately once reaching the other side. Tibby is seen being chased by the horny crone as the next clip fades in.
This one is of Tibby having a playful snowball fight with a bunch kids only to quit after too much snow ruins his hair. He of course gets tagged repeatedly for being a sissy as the next clip fades in.
The final clip is Dupree wearing a Christmas hat and a confused expression as he tries to wrap a basketball in holiday rolling paper. Volunteering at Rose Park Mall trying to wrap gifts was his most ambitious endeavor of the week, and it's testing his sanity as he begins to twitch repeatedly before throwing a tantrum then running off.
The video montage and screen fades out to show Tibby entering "Toys For Tots" Toy Center on Merchant Street.
