Silver Cyanide returns for Death March
By: OCW Newsline
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!

Mack O'Connor forms Team 2015

When Mack O’Connor was tabbed by Welsh as captain for one of eight Death March teams many fans shrugged and said “Yea, that makes sense.” Since that moment, Mack’s team has been shrouded by mystery. News concerning his team has been kept locked down tighter than that woman you all have captured in your basement (OR attic – just make sure she keeps her hair short).
Would Mack even field a team? Or would the belligerent alcoholic show up to Death March drunk and ready for a handicapped brawl? If you had selected the latter, nobody could have blamed you. Drunk people seem to like taking on insurmountable odds. I guess it’s the same reason why they enjoy watching movies like Braveheart or 300 when plastered.
It was down to crunch time and Mack, like that bastard cartoon owl, bit into his tootsie pop to reveal what was and had been at the center this entire time. TEAM 2015…TEAM OCW! Chad Vargas, Bob Grenier and PERZAG all returned to form Team 2015.
All four men have proudly worn the OCW Championship. All four men carried OCW at the end of 2014 and into 2015. All four men are legends. Together, they will attempt to defeat Team OGDA…a group consisting of new era stars.
This formation has turned Mack’s team from an unknown into a heavy favorite. Will they emerge victorious at Death March? Tune in to find out!

CJ O'Donnell looks to settle some unfinished business

November was a month full of surprises. OCW saw a smorgasbord of returns and debuts. Each surprise had one thing in common – Death March. The best wrestlers in the world have received the memo. They have an opportunity to step into OCW and, in their first night with the company, earn a shot at the OCW Championship.
Two weeks ago we saw Brianna Casablancas accept the challenge. This past Monday we saw ‘Perfect’ Paul Paras return in the hopes of reclaiming the title he won nearly twenty years ago. They weren’t the only ones.
The Distinguished, CJ O’Donnell, one of OCW’s greatest heels, made his shocking return to side with Curt Canon at Death March. We last saw CJ in August of 2017 fresh off a disappointing OCW Championship loss.
CJ is back looking to finish some open ended business. O’Donnell has one thing on his mind – the OCW Championship. He’ll get an opportunity to return to the top of the OCW mountain at Death March. CJ, now one of the betting favorites for Death March, will be one of the toughest outs on December 17th. Can The Distinguished go all the way and win at Death March? Who will be the fourth and final member of Team Canon? Stay tuned to find out!

Brianna is back!

We knew there would be some shockers heading into Death March. I mean with 32 slots to fill these team captains were forced to think outside the box in an effort to field a full and competitive team. So we expected a few big names from the outside. We expected some names from the past. Maybe someone like MJ Bell or perhaps a Danny B. MAYBE even everyone's favorite(?) darl, Amber Ryan.
What we didn't expect is exactly what we got - Brianna Casablancas. If there was a list of wrestlers most likely to never return to OCW Brianna would have been pretty damn high on said list. And while we could get into the reasons why her return was unlikely, what's the point? Let's focus on the positives.
Brianna was an instrumental part in OCW's resurgence back in 2014. OCW was coming off a multi year hiatus and needed some new faces to build around. Brianna, along with TIO, were those faces. She won the Central Championship twice and helped build the promotion you see today. Now she teams with Maurako to take down the new 'face' of the company.
Brianna's return makes her one of the early favorites to win Death March. Stay tuned as more names are revealed.

Team Rhodes has been revealed
By: OCW Newsline
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.

It didn’t take long for OCW to move past last week’s event, Serial Thrillers. This past Monday at Massacre GM Marcus Welsh and Commissioner Mike Zybala made the big push toward Death March by announcing the eight team captains.
The incongruous duo revealed their captains in the only way suitable for their relationship. They went back and forth drafting captains for their teams. Welsh received the first pick without much complaint from Zybala. He selected ‘King Infinity’ Aidan Collins. Zybala countered with Hall of Famer, Mario Maurako.
Welsh would go on to pick Vincent Langston, Curt Canon, and Mack O’Connor. Zybala countered by naming Melinda Rhodes, Ed Houston, and OGDA. Eight venerable captains well suited to helm extremely competitive teams. Rumors are already swirling as to who will join which team. With the event open to competitors outside the confines of OCW, just about anybody could choose to take part in this competition.
Stay tuned to the OCW newswire as teammates are revealed. With only FIVE Massacres left before Death March this event is sure to come together quickly.

OCW held it's Halloween themed super show this past Monday titled Serial Thrillers. It was an action packed event featuing nine stacked matches.
The show opened with a hot start as Alice Knight faced the debuting Aidan Collins. We also saw October's Newcomer of the Month, Vossler take on Hellraven. Iggy Hardy defended his Savage Championship against Vincent Langston in a Barbed Wire match. The Craze Title was up for grabs in a Halloween Neighborhood Brawl with the reigning champion, Mike Harrison taking on the wildly popular challenger, OGDA.
Vincent Langston would see action a second time in the evening while teaming with Melinda Rhodes to defend their OCW Tag Team Championships against BroCode. Curt Canon and Ed Houston attempted to steal the show in an Ultimate X match which closed out the near 20 year old OCW LightWeight division. The Incredible One and Saxon Rowe looked to settle their differences in a Monster's Ball match. Andrea Hernandez hoped to earn respect from one of OCW's most legendary wrestlers, Mack O'Connor. And, finally, in the main event...a match 2 years in the making, we saw Matt Meyhu defend his OCW Title against Chad Vargas.
There were title changes, debuts, returns and much much more at this event! To check out the replay simply click the image on the left!
