Zybala is set for first OCW Title Shot
By: OCW Newsline
Thursday, August 24th 2017
OCW fans have been aware of Mike Zybala for a long time. For several years Zybala competed in rival federations. He enjoyed success all over the world winning championships and providing memorable moments. OCW fans and management respected his name and accomplishments from afar.
In June, Mike Zybala decided to bring his talents to OCW. It was a perfect match in style. Zybala has had a major impact on OCW since joining. He's had success in and out of the ring.
This Monday his biggest test looms. Mike Zybala will face Mack O'Connor for the OCW Paradigm Championship in the Main Event. Not only is this Mike Zybala's first title shot in OCW - it's also his first main event. It's a match many fans thought would come sooner. Regardless of the timing, it's a moment fans have been eagerly looking forward to for quite some time.
Zybala is a slight underdog to O'Connor. Mack has been almost unstoppable in 2017. He did, however, suffer a stumble last week against Lukas Emery in the Mix. Mack has also never successfully defended a championship in OCW. He lost his OCW Title in his first defense and lost his OCW Savage title in his first defense. Will history repeat itself? Tune in Monday to find out.

Monroe Continues to Ascend
By: OCW Newsline
Thursday, August 17th 2017
A little over one month ago Jacqui Monroe faced the OCW phenom, Damian K' for the Ascension Championship. Monroe entered the match as a heavy underdog with most pundits expecting K' to cruise toward victory. That, obviously, did not happen. Not only did Monroe defeat K'...but she did so soundly.
A common cliche in professional wrestling is 'it's tough to win it, it's even tougher to hold onto it'. The validity of that statement can be debated at a later date. Regardless, holding onto a title is anything but easy. Monroe was charged with defending her OCW Ascension Title this past Monday against one of the top up and coming stars on the roster, Ed Houston.
Ed outlasted several other competitors in a Battle Royal to earn the opportunity. Again, people were doubting Monroe's ability with many experts predicting a Houston victory. Once again, Monroe proved her doubters wrong and outlasted Ed Houston in one of the greatest Ascension title matches of all time.
Jacqui Monroe is quickly becoming a force in OCW. Fans are beginning to clamor for a bigger Monroe push. We here at OCW are hearing that may very well happen. It will be a quick turnaround for Jacqui as she defends her title again on September 4th.

An Incredible Massacre
By: OCW Newsline
Wednesday, August 9th 2017
An OCW Championship Match nearly a year in the making was scheduled to main event the first Massacre of August. It involved the three primary members of The Aptitude. Matt Meyhu, the reigning OCW Champion was the heavy favorite. CJ O'Donnell, the #1 Contender and Margarita Mix leader was a fast rising threat. And then there was the OCW veteran, The Incredible One.
TIO lost to Meyhu at Stainless Steel Ride. He followed that up by losing to Mack O'Connor and dropping his Paradigm Championship. He appeared to be fading. Many people were starting to question his new found persona.
Not only that, but he had been missing for the heavy part of two weeks leading into the match. In short, things weren't looking good for The Incredible One.
But that's why he's incredible. In a mad, last second dash TIO arrived in time for the main event and, not only competed at a high level - but he won! A three plus year odyssey stretching all the way back to February, 2014 culminated in TIO winning his first OCW Championship! Now the fun part - holding onto the belt. Rumors are swirling that Matt Meyhu is demanding a rematch in September. Will he get what he wants? Tune into Massacre next Monday to find out!

Wednesday, August 2nd 2017
The main event at this Monday's Massacre featured Perfectly Marvelous defending their OCW Tag Team Titles against The Lockwood Party. It was one of the greatest tag team matches in OCW history that ultimately saw Perfectly Marvelous outlast The Lockwoods and retain their belts.

The Danger Boiz will make their in-ring return this Monday against Deluxxx. After that, there are strong rumors they will be the next team to challenge Perfectly Marvelous for the OCW Tag Team Titles on September 11th. The tag division appears to be heating up!

Ed Houston earns OCW Ascension Title Shot

Wednesday, July 26th 2017
Most of the talk emanating from Monday's edition of Massacre circles around The Incredible One and Mack O'Connor. Two of OCW's all time greats did battle in a Last Man Standing match for the OCW Paradigm Championship. It was one of the most memorable matches in OCW history.
Another major happening took place this past Monday - one that is receiving far less attention. A battle royal set up to determine Jacqui Monroe's next challenger was held in the semi-main event slot. Seven of OCW's brightest up and coming stars competed for the right to main event a Massacre AND a shot at claiming an OCW championship.
The odds seemed to favor Zybala. Julliet Brooks and Wulf Erikson weren't far behind. Assassin had tenure leaving many to wonder if his time was due. Liam Zua needed a bounce back. Kira Phoenix had looked very impressive the week before against Crimson creating wonder as to whether or not she would be some kind of rookie phenom. Then there was Ed Houston. A former newcomer of the month who had yet to claim that signature win. Well, he did so on Monday by eliminating Zybala for the win.
Ed Houston will face Jacqui Monroe on August 14th for the OCW Ascension Championship.

The Lost Soul Returns this Monday
By: OCW Newsline
Friday, July 21st 2017
It's been a tough month for Tony and Timmy Webb. OCW officials have been trying their hardest to give 8 Legged Freaks a legitimate shot at the OCW Tag belts. Sadly, something always comes up preventing the Webbs from capitalizing.
This past Monday a person dressed as Spider-Man appeared and took out both Tony and Timmy before they were able to compete against the Lockwood Party in a #1 Contenders Match for the OCW Tag Titles.
Immediately after Spider-Man's destruction of 8 Legged Freaks he removed the mask to reveal THE LOST SOUL underneath. It marked the first appearance of TLS on non-Survivor programming since 2015.
TLS enjoyed a great 2015 run. He won the OCW Ascension Championship against Ashe Dawson at Revenge. He successfully defended it against Ricky Rhodes at Code of Silence. He completed the hat trick at Hood Rich by downing RM Strong. Now, in 2017, TLS has his sights set higher.
TLS will face John E Depth this Monday at Massacre. If he wins, look for TLS to receive a strong push up the card.

The Big Bifford is Back

Wednesday, July 19th 2017
OCW has had many interesting characters since opening in 1999. Each character has helped create the foundation of the very fed you see today. As with everything in life...each of these characters have a beginning and, unfortunately, an end. In some cases, these characters return for another run - shocking OCW fans and entertaining wrestling audiences around the world.
Such an occurrence took place this past Monday when one of OCW's most notorious characters, The Big Bifford appeared near a hot dog stand ranting and raving about Tommy Crimson. For years Bifford has informed OCW he would return if and ONLY IF he received a match against Silverfreak or Dangerous Dan. OCW tried to make these two matches happen - however, neither Dan nor Freak would agree to face Bifford.
So, it looked as though Bifford would remain on the sidelines eating ham and plotting revenge. That is, until another character from OCW's past emerged two weeks ago - Tommy Crimson. For whatever reason, the return of Crimson was all Bifford needed to step back into the OCW realm.
Bifford vs. Crimson will happen. The only question is when. Stay tuned to find out.
