Wednesday, November 14th, 2018
Last week Melinda Rhodes was chosen to take charge of a team by OCW commissioner Mike Zybala. Being selected as a team captain offers certain responsibilities. For instance, Melinda must face a team lead by her former tag team partner, Vincent Langston. Before that can happen, however, she has to select teammates to follow her into battle.
Rhodes was not restricted to OCW contracted talent . The rules were clearly stated that team captains could seek out talent from all over the world. So, Melinda began her search. With every country, every promotion within reach, she decided to snare the individual closest to her. Rhodes went with her husband, The Wildkard James Spade.
With Spade in the fold she looked to youth. She looked to a talent she had grown familiar with. She desired an OCW talent with the passion and desire to rise to the top. She chose Hellraven. And, finally, Rhodes branched out. She decided to extend her reach beyond OCW's walls and procure one of the top talents in the game. As the final teammate, captain Melinda Rhodes selected Samantha Tolson.
Team Rhodes is set and looks to be quite the force. How far will they go at Death March? Tune in on December 17th to find out.

Alice Knight will face "King Infinity" Aidan Collins at Serial Thrillers
By: OCW Newsline
Wednesday, October 24th, 2018
For weeks Marcus Welsh has been touting the debut of the new FACE of OCW. The future of OCW. The wrestler who will lead OCW into 2019. Questions swirled concerning the identity of this individual. Those questions were answered this past Monday night when Marcus Welsh introduced the OCW audience to 'King Infinity' Aidan Collins.
Aidan Collins is a man who needs no introduction. He's dominated in every promotion he's ever been apart of. If the man were a baseball prospect he'd be a five tool player. Simply put, King Infinity has it all.
His first task will be facing Alice Knight - the most unpredictable star in OCW history. Alice is quirky, she's unique - she's OCW through and through. Facing Alice will be unlike any challenge Aidan has encountered throughout his illustrious career.
To make matters even weirder, Mike Zybala announced that Aidan would face Alice in a Spooky Ghost Match. Eight individuals dressed as 'ghosts' surrounding the ring. One of these individuals is the referee. You must locate the ref before you can score a victory. How will Aidan handle both the challenge of facing Alice along with the weird ass stipulation? Can he adapt to OCW or will Alice help Zybala ruin King Infinity's debut? Tune in to Serial Thrillers to find out!

Ed Houston to face Curt Canon in the final LightWeight Match in OCW History

Wednesday, October 17th, 2018
Marcus Welsh began the evening stating it would be a night full of surprises. Arguably the biggest surprise of the night came in the form of the resurrection of the OCW LightWeight Championship. The currently defunct title was once seen as arguably the most prestigious prize beneath the OCW Title the company had to offer.
Welsh stunned the crowd by announcing he would be personally crowning the final LightWeight Champion in OCW history. This announcement came as a surprise due to the competitive nature in which the title had always been immersed. To simply hand the title over as the final act in a once stellar division seemed askew.
Curt Canon obviously thought so, anyway. He made his appearance, and displeasure known without mincing words. Canon stated the obvious and spoke for all the fans by demanding the title be rewarded after a competitive match embodying the spirit of the division. Ed Houston, the man Welsh was going to crown, happily accepted.
At Serial Thrillers Ed Houston and Curt Canon will do battle in an Ultimate X match to crown the final LightWeight Champion. It's a match that could potentially 'steal the show'. Tune in on October 29th to find out who will emerge the final LightWeight Champ.

Mike Harrison Remains Unbeaten

Mike Harrison joined OCW amid a flurry of applications near the end of the summer. OCW was inundated with so much talent it made 'getting lost in the shuffle' an all too easy and familiar fate. And, in fact, that was the exact destination of several of OCW's applicants from that time period.
Mike Harrison did not get lost in the shuffle. He did quite the opposite. Harrison stood up and above the rest of the competition informing all of OCW that he would be a major player for the foreseeable future. He earned a Craze Title shot against Ed Houston at Mayhem on the Midway. He did something nobody had been able to do in 2018 by dethroning Ed and becoming the brand new Craze Champion.
Harrison passed his second biggest test this past Monday by defeating OCW legend, The Lost Soul. This keeps Harrison's perfect record in tact as he looks ahead to his next challenge.
That challenge will meet him head on at Serial Thrillers in the form of OGDA. Harrison is set to defend his Craze Title against OGDA on Monday, October 29th in what will be Harrison's biggest match to date.

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2018
What a night it was this past Monday evening. For the first time in 2018 the OCW Championship was legitimately up for grabs. The Marvel, Matt Meyhu was forced into defending his OCW Title inside a Steel Cage against his longtime nemesis OCW Commissioner Mike Zybala.
The steel cage was Zybala’s idea. It was intended to keep GM Marcus Welsh from running any kind of outside interference ensuring a Meyhu victory. Zybala even brought with him a lock with a personalized combination to keep the door from being pulled open.
Things weren’t looking good for the champ. The odds seemed to be in favor of Mike Zybala. Yet, in the end, the champ did what the champ does. He overcame the odds and defeated Mike Zybala in an all-time great championship match to retain his OCW Title.
"The Marvel" will now turn his full attention toward Serial Thrillers where he will defend his OCW Title against Chad Vargas. Many experts are saying this will be his toughest defense yet. Be sure to tune in on October 29th to see who walks out OCW Champion.
