School is in Session - but for how long?

Wednesday, June 20th 2018
It was a rough night in Nebraska for former OCW Champion, The Incredible One. He fought, arguably the greatest match of his career only to fall woefully short in successfully defending his coveted OCW Title against 'The Marvel' Matt Meyhu.
As is the case with all shortcomings in a person's life, TIO was forced to turn the page and look toward Key West. He devised a plan for moving forward. He decided to invoke a rematch clause which, according to whom you believe, was placed into his contract.
Unfortunately for TIO, he was informed by Marcus Welsh that there was no rematch clause in his contract and, therefore, would not be receiving a rematch. He was, in effect, being pushed to the back of the line. Tough news to swallow considering the circumstance.
And, as if that weren't enough, TIO was attacked seconds upon receiving the news by 2017 OCW Newcomer of the Year, 'The Professor' Bradley Carrington. Carrington hasn't been seen since 2017, making his appearance a big surprise to everyone, including TIO. Where will this lead? Is Carrington officially signed? Stay tuned to the OCW news wire for any and all updates.

The Greatest Show on Earth Replay!
By: OCW Newsline
Tuesday, June 12th 2018
Last night OCW hosted one of the biggest events in company history. The Greatest Show on Earth from Papillion, Nebraska showcased ten of OCW's most gifted in-ring talents competing in a variety of matches.
The show opened with former OCW Champion and Hall of Famer, Curt Canon taking on Muffles the Bunny in a Caged Ladder Match. Whoever escaped the cage first would earn a #1 Contenders Match at the next major OCW event.
Julliet Brooks and Tommy Crimson would follow that up with their brutal, violent 450 Light Tube spectacle. It was as gory as you'd expect with the winner earning a shot against Curt Canon in a #1 Contenders Match.
The first ever Craze Champion was crowned after Josie Barnes and Ed Houston did battle in a Bloody TLC Match. We also got our answer in regards to Bob Grenier accepting a match against Chad Vargas.
And, finally, we had our Main Event. The OCW Champion, The Incredible One was tasked with defending his championship against former ally, friend, and OCW Champion - 'The Marvel' Matt Meyhu. It would go down as one of the greatest matches in OCW history. You can catch the replay of this historic event by clicking here.

Can The Incredible One Defeat a Marvel?
By: OCW Newsline
Wednesday, June 6th 2018
That's the question on every OCW fan's mind this week. Can The Incredible One defeat a Marvel? What is more powerful - being incredible or having the ability to consider yourself a marvel? It's a question that will rage on over the next few days until an answer is provided in emphatic form Monday evening in Papillion, Nebraska.
There's no questioning the ability of OCW Champion, TIO. From the moment he joined OCW back in 2014 he was thrust into a major program with Brianna Casablancas. They headlined every OCW show in which they competed. Since then it's been challenge after challenge - all of which he has mastered, except for one.
Enter The Marvel. Matt Meyhu signed last year with much fanfare. Many called it the biggest signing in company history. The man did not disappoint, capturing the OCW title quicker than anybody could have anticipated by defeating TIO.
TIO returned the favor by winning the OCW Championship away from Meyhu by pinning CJ O'Donnell. Now, the rubber match. We know both men are great - both are legendary. That's without doubt. The lingering question is, can TIO DEFEAT Matt Meyhu? He'll have an hour to prove it on Monday.

What's the Deal with Lukas Emery?
By: OCW Newsline
Friday, June 1st 2018
Lukas Emery shocked OCW fans this past Monday when he made an unannounced appearance midway through Massacre. Emery debuted last year during the tail end of the Process of Elimination Series. He made an instant impact, showing OCW that he would be a force moving forward. That he wasn't just another rookie forgotten within a month's time.
At Stainless Steel Ride Lukas would enjoy the biggest moment of his OCW career when he defeated Ed Houston, Nara Toshiro, PerZag, and his girlfriend Josie Barnes to capture the Oh Shit Contract.
With the Oh Shit Contract in his possession Lukas had the power to cash it in at any given time on any given champion, save one - the OCW Champion. Lukas showed patience and poise. He waited for the opportune moment to ensure his cash in would be a successful one. Sadly, due to the impact of Hurricane Maria OCW was forced to close their doors and Lukas was left with an unfulfilled contract.
Now Lukas is back and OCW has a rather obtuse situation on their hands. He has a contract that is still active. Yet the eligible titles are inactive. So, what becomes of this situation? Tune in on Monday for more answers!

MARVELOUS Mario Maurako Expected to Make a Grandiose Return THIS Monday
By: OCW Newsline
Wednesday, May 30th 2018
Rumors began to swirl late Tuesday evening when OCW Hall of Famer 'Marvelous' Mario Maurako was reportedly seen browsing around OCW Headquarters. While it may be tough for any wrestling free agent to escape sight unseen in and around OCWHQ, it's pretty much impossible for a Hall of Famer to do so.
Sources within OCWHQ have informed me that a deal was agreed upon sometime during the previous week and Maurako was simply present to go over a few additional details. Considering that my source's stance has yet to change, I'd say that means Mario is signed, sealed, and soon to be delivered.
When will he be delivered? Well, it appears he will return this Monday at Massacre! The Greatest Show on Earth is nearly one week away so what better time for The Marvelous One to reveal his intention for returning to the promotion?
Who will he focus on upon his return? Well, that remains to be seen. He does have history with The Incredible One, Matt Meyhu, Curt Canon, Tommy Crimson, as well as a few others. Regardless of his target, the news alone that one of OCW's cornerstones has decided to step back into the ring is enough for celebration. I can't wait for Monday!

Kestrel Impressive in OCW Debut
By: OCW Newsline
Wednesday, May 23rd 2018
A debut three years in the making! Kestrel originally signed to compete within an OCW ring during the spring of 2015. For a number of reasons, none of which were her fault, OCW closed and Kestrel was left wondering, 'What if'.
Well, fast forward to 2018. A name faintly familiar to OCW fans appeared at the end of Massacre, inking a deal with Marcus Welsh to return to OCW. Her name? Kestrel. And, as though OCW felt the need to reward her for her patience, she was instantly placed in a match with considerable stakes.
Kestrel was pitted against Anthony Wentz and Muffles the Bunny for the final remaining spot at The Greatest Show on Earth. Not only would the winner be given a spot on one of the biggest shows in OCW history, but they would be afforded the opportunity to wrestle an OCW legend. And, as if that weren't enough, the winner of said match would receive a Craze Title Shot.
So, how did Kestrel respond? Well, how do you think a person with her talent and patience would respond? She won the fucking thing. Despite tremendous efforts from both Muffles and Wentz, Kestrel rose above the rest and earned her rightful spot opposite Curt Canon at The Greatest Show on Earth. And now, her OCW journey is officially underway.

The First Ever Mix Champion?
By: OCW Newsline
Wednesday, May 16th 2018
It was supposed to be the biggest match of 2018. It was supposed to end what was an arduous journey throughout the summer of 2017. The implications from this 'supposed' happening were to lay the very foundation for OCW version 2018. If you haven't figured it out by now...the word supposed has appeared way too many times in the first few sentences of this news update...wanna know why? BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
Yea, that's right...the Margarita Mix final for a shot at the OCW Champion between Mack O'Connor and Chad Vargas didn't even make it to the opening bell. Chad Vargas initiated a heinous attack, incapacitating Mack O'Connor and, thus, ruining what would have been an all time great match.
Now, this is where things get murky. Is Chad the Mix champion? Does Chad get an OCW title shot after The Greatest Show on Earth? And, what role does Grenier have in all this? Was he merely a savior, preventing Chad from crippling Mack? OR did he, in his on Grenier-like way issue a challenge to Vargas for the Mix trophy?
I guess we'll have to wait for this week's Massacre to find out!

What's going on with Bob Grenier?
By: OCW Newsline
Thursday, May 10th 2018
In something of a pseudo appearance, Bob Grenier returned to Massacre this past Monday with a stunning announcement. OCW's most famous Canadian announced he would be retiring.
If this news is true, it would signal the end of one of the greatest careers in OCW history. Much like his countryman DRAKE, Grenier started from the bottom and, well, I guess he's here? Whatever the fuck that means. Regardless, Grenier has fought his entire career to earn every accolade which sits underneath his towering resume.
The Grenier camp released an additional statement after Massacre reiterating his plans for retirement. So, it looks as though Bob will be retiring this coming Massacre.
In additional news, the Grenier camp also announced he would be getting married at The Greatest Show on Earth. This announcement comes out of left field as we at OCW had no idea Bob was even seeing anybody! I guess a lot can happen during a 3-6 month hiatus. Regardless of what happens, one thing is for sure - the Grenier camp has the wrestling world talking. So, be sure to tune in this Monday to see if this is, indeed the end of one of OCW's most storied careers.

The Marvel Returns to Attack The Incredible One
By: OCW Newsline
Wednesday, May 9th 2018
There were several running themes during the return of OCW Monday Night Massacre. We had Jack Puffer scouring the EARTH (aka Key West aka OCW Arena) for some unknown title. We had the impending announcement of Zybala's new role within OCW. We also had a retirement tease from OCW Hall of Famer, Bob Grenier. But, the paramount theme of this past Monday's show was the saga going down between The Incredible One and Marcus Welsh.
The show started off with a shocking scene as TIO did the unthinkable. He put his hands on Marcus Welsh and powerbombed him off the stage through a table. It was an act everybody, including TIO, knew would carry severe consequences. Before the attack, Welsh alluded that a challenger for TIO's belt would be revealed later in the evening.
Then came the main event. TIO and Josie Barnes took on Tommy Crimson and Julliet Brooks. It was a violent, back and forth affair which saw Brooks refuse Crimson's dastardly offer only to be pinned by TIO. Crimson would follow that up with an attack on Brooks which would force TIO to ask for medical. Instead of medical, Matt Meyhu appeared, laying waste to TIO and cementing himself as the challenger for the belt. And, to compound the issue, Welsh was given TIO's OCW Title and ended the show in possession of wrestling's most prestigious prize.

It's Massacre Week!
By: OCW Newsline
Tuesday, May 1st 2018
Online Championship Wrestling is set to return in six days. The return of Monday Night Massacre has been slated for Monday, May 7th which means...with today being TUESDAY (CHEWSDAY!) that Massacre week has officially returned!
A stout roster of some of OCW's all time greats are set to return. Names like Bob Grenier, Mack O'Connor, Chad Vargas, Curt Canon, and Ed Houston are all rumored to be in attendance for the event.
The only match of the night will feature OCW Champion The Incredible One teaming up with one of OCW's top newcomers of 2017 Josie Barnes to take on former OCW Savage Champion, Tommy Crimson and his tag partner, one of the most prolific female wrestlers in history, Julliet Brooks. It has all the makings of an intense affair.
OCW Arena has been cleared out. MOST of the refugees shipped off to soup kitchens and scrap yards. Jimmy Buffett has been awarded some type of humanitarian award. All is well in Key West which means it's time for the entertainment to return! So, sit tight...Monday Night Massacre is on the horizon once again!

OCW's most famous Canadian, Bob Grenier has been inducted into the Hall of Fame
By: OCW Newsline
Friday, April 20th 2018
An unknown, veteran from Canada submitted an application to join OCW during the spring of 2014. Like most applications, he entered with modest expectations. The staff hoped to get a decent run out of him before an eventual departure. Grenier provided that and then some.
Like most Hall of Famers, it didn't take long for Grenier to make his mark. He would headline Clash at the Coast against fellow Hall of Famers Scott Syren and Chad Vargas very early in his tenure. He would team with PerZag over the summer of 2014 terrorizing the OCW roster and padding his resume.
In 2015 Grenier would return, dethroning Chad Vargas at Hood Rich to claim his first OCW Championship. He would return in 2017 only to be inexplicably stripped of the OCW Title due to a change in ownership. While this would deter most wrestlers, it only enriched Grenier's vigor for competition within the federation. He waged war throughout 2017 looking to get back to the top of OCW. And, at the closure of 2017 Grenier found himself right near the top of the elongated Margarita Mix.
Bob Grenier is OCW in its truest form. He is charismatic, violent, and hard working. While his application may have arrived with little fame, his career will go down as one that OCW management will always look upon proudly. It has been a pleasure watching Grenier compete in OCW and we look forward to many, many great moments moving forward.

Alice Knight inducted into OCW Hall of Fame! Owls rejoice!
By: OCW Newsline
Wednesday, April 18th 2018
Nearly 4 years ago a quirky female by the name of Alice Knight submitted an application to compete in OCW. It was a strange application, to say the least. But, that's what we dig around here...quirky, strange - unique!
Little did anyone know the type of career Alice Knight would put together.
It started with a strong showing in a Battle Royal. Alice would then defeat ROACH in one of the wildest matches in OCW history. She would go on to team with Brianna Casablancas forming one of the more entertaining teams in OCW history (Thought 4 Food).
Alice would return in 2015 to capture the Paradigm Championship by defeating Tatum Coe. Unfortunately, her run would be cut short. She would return in 2017 looking to atone for disappointing ends to both 2014 and 2015. She would do so emphatically by defeating Bob Grenier and PerZag to become OCW Champion. She would also create the now legendary OWL IS NIGHT gimmick. A few months later she would compete in the first ever BirdCage Match against fellow Hall of Famer, Bob Grenier.
Alice Knight embodies everything OCW looks for in a wrestler. She is truly worthy of this honor. Alice has released a statement regarding her enshrinement. To read it, click here.

2017 Year End Awards Show?
By: OCW Newsline
Monday, April 9th 2018
Rumor and innuendo speculate that a gigantic series of wrestling events took place over the weekend. A series of wrestling events so compelling and GRAND IN SCALE that they would move dormant promotion owners to reopen their currently defunct fed.
In the words of Admiral Ackbar, "IT'S A TRAP!"
Is OCW reopening? Not right now.
BUT...I'm told all the lazy ass refugees living in the OCW arena free of charge have been removed. Jimmy Buffet now has this giant building unoccupied and unused that he's paying taxes on. A savvy businessman's worst nightmare.
So...word coming out of Key West is that we will have some type of Year End Awards show in the near future. After that...if it's well received and a fun enterprise to put out by the staff we could...could...could see some movement for a more permanent renaissance. So, until then...stay tuned.
