Ed Houston falls short in controversial ending

Way back in the year 2018 a man named Ed Houston defeated OCW legend Bob Grenier to earn a shot at the OCW Savage Championship. Sadly, 2018 would come and go without Mr. Houston receiving the opportunity to cash in his earned title shot.
Blame Death March. Blame Marcus Welsh. Blame WEAK ASS BOOKING. Whatever the case may have been, Ed was forced to sit on his title shot far longer than he should have.
His opportunity to cash in finally arrived this past Monday at Massacre. Ed was slated to face Vincent Langston in the main event of Massacre. The Rocket Man, winner of several year-end awards, gave it his all in the greatest performance of his OCW career.
In fact, he had Langston beat until Mack O’Connor interrupted the match, costing Ed his shot. Langston would go on to survive, retaining his Savage Championship. Langston will now move ahead and face the man that attacked him after his epic encounter with Ed Houston, Aidan Collins.
As for Houston, it appears as though Ed has a date with Mack O’Connor for the Paradigm Championship at Throwback.

In many ways 2018 OCW was the year of the Marvel. Matt Meyhu accomplished pretty much everything he was eligible to accomplish. He won Heel of the Year. He won Match of the Year. He won Wrestler of the Year. He won and never lost his OCW Championship. And, for all his efforts, he was inducted into the OCW Hall of Fame.
Matt Meyhu is riding high. He has stymied the challenges of Curt Canon, The Incredible One, Mack O'Connor, Mike Zybala, and the legendary Scott Syren. So, what's next?
If you were watching Death March then you should know exactly what's next. 32 of the best wrestlers alive competed for a chance to dethrone The Marvel. It was, without a doubt, the single most competitive match in OCW history. One man emerged above all others - Paul Paras.
Yes, the two time OCW Hall of Famer. Yes, the former OCW Champion. Yes, The Perfect One, tired of always being seen as second tier when the greats of OCW are discussed rose from the ashes and smartened everyone up.
On Monday, January 28th Paul Paras has an opportunity to do what no one else has been able. He has a chance to pin and unseat arguably the greatest wrestler in OCW history. Can he do it? Tune into Throwback to find out!

Death March replay is available!

Death March has come and gone – take a deep breath. Collect your bearings. Take a look at your surroundings for reassurance that you’ve made it. Congratulations, you, me, we, everyone survived the hellacious march to, through and from Assiniboine Park.
It’s time to take stock of what we learned. For starters, the OCW roster is one badass menagerie of eclectic personalities featuring enough talent to fill Simon Cowell’s magnum sized prophylactic. The effort put forward last week set a new standard for OCW events.
Second, we learned that Matt Meyhu is the unquestioned top star in company history. He not only defeated Scott Syren…he mauled, devastated, and demolished the mythical titan. Meyhu ends 2018 as the undefeated OCW Champion with a hopeful Hall of Fame induction on the horizon.
We also learned that the future can sometimes come from the past. Aidan Collins and Vincent Langston were big favorites to win Death March. And, they came close. However, the winner of Death March and Meyhu’s biggest challenge for 2019 was none other than Paul Paras. The Perfect One notched the biggest win in his OCW career. Can he dethrone Meyhu at Throwback or will Meyhu silence another legend? Stick around for the new year to find out!

Silver Cyanide returns for Death March

Wednesday, December 12th, 2018
It’s Death March week! That means 32 individuals will compete for a chance to earn a shot at the OCW Championship. These individuals range from current stars, to past stars, to outsiders looking to make an imprint on OCW’s elongated history.
When discussing former stars the usual suspects typically come up. Legends such as Lurrr, Bifford, Syren, Maurako, even Paul Paras. They’ve been known to pop up here and there whenever an advantageous situation arises.
However, this go around we’ve been treated to the return of a legend OCW hasn’t hosted in years. Silver Cyanide made his shocking return this past Monday. Cyanide is, arguably, the greatest wrestler in OCW history.
Upon debuting many, many, MANY moons ago Cyanide emerged from a thick pack of rookies as the blue chipper. He topped Andy Murray in the first ever OCW Hazardous Ladder match to claim his first championship within OCW. Before long Cyanide would own the top prize in the company.
He’s won every award there is to win. He’s defeated just about every name there is to defeat. Now, after over a decade on the shelf can Silver Cyanide return to form? Tune in to Death March to find out!
