Ontario Championship Wrestling

[bookerbill]

This is my LOTF fed. I have started the PWO a few times but never really liked the mix of the LOTF sets with LOW sets. I have decided to clear the decks and go with strictly LOTF cards for the time being.

Card 1.1: Moose Lodge, Kitchener - The Tri City Triple Threat
Chris Hero comes to the ring to a huge “Kings of Wrestling” chant from ringside. Hero cuts a promo that talks about how he has competed and been successful around the globe and now he has come to OCW and he will once again be successful. Hero calls out Commission Cox and demands that the be give the OCW Title right now so that they do not waste his time and the fans time with some tournament which Hero will win regardless. Cox tells Hero that titles in the OCW are earned and he can start tonight in a Triple Threat Match when he takes on Mike Quackenbush and Delirious. Hero is not impressed but we have our main event.

Match 1: Harker Dirge v. Savage T w/K.J. Hill
Dirge clears the ring with his chain before the announcer can finish the introductions. The fans are all over him. The story in this one is Dirge dominating the action and T finding a way to kick out each pin attempt. Dirge turns up the heat when he chokes out T at ringside with his chain. Hill saves T from being pinned after an abdominal stretch and sweep. She cannot save T from a DIRT NAP. (Dirge 3; T 9) (**)

Match 2: Dupae Rupa v. Arik Cannon
The Belgian Brawler holds a distinct size advantage in this one but Cannon has showed in the past he can hang with the big boys and he has the fans behind him tonight. As expected Rupa breaks out the power moves early on including a Belgian Bodyslam but Cannon uses his agility and speed to turn things around. A spinning neckbreaker (ch) puts Rupa down for a near fall before Cannon hits the BURNING HAMMER for the win (Rupa 7; Cannon 4) (*)

Match 3: The Samoan Island Tribe v. The Backseat Boyz
The fans are ready for some tag team action. This is another classic matchup of power v. speed. Trent Acid takes the action to Alofa early on including a plancha and Blue Thunder Bomb. The Boyz then double team Alofa and when the referee steps in, Johnny Kashmere shoves the official to the mat. The referee promptly calls for the disqualification and this one ends too early. Samu is in the ring and it is bedlam. The Boyz bail from ringside and draw great heat as the leave ringside. (Alofa 4; Samu3; Acid 4; Kashmere 3) (dud)

Match 4: Ricky Landell v. Claudio Castagnoli
There is another ‘Kings of Wrestling” chant at the start of this one. There is a great spot early on where Castagnoli counters a spinning chop and hits a scissor kick to the face for a near fall. Great back and forth action in this one. Landell nearly pulls out the win with a double-arm underhook suplex that looked very impressive. Castagnoli is trapped in the ropes at one point and Landell lets him out in a respect angle. The end comes when Castagnoli uses an Alpamare Waterslide to set up another scissors kick to the face for the three count. They do the respect angle at the end and shake hand much to the pleasure of the crowd before Castagnoli then lays out Landell with a RICOLA BOMB drawing great heat from the fans. (Landell 7; Castagnoli 4) (**)

Match 5: Naptown Dragons v. Heartbreak Xpress and Larry Sweeney
Great action in this one from bell to bell. The Dragon’s dominate and the Xpress and Sweeney always find a way to hang on. The Dragons cut off Phil Davis early on and Davis takes a great beating but his teammates save him from KISS OF THE DRAGON. The Xpress turns things around with Sean Davis carrying the load with Sweeney only tagging in when it is advantageous to do so. The Dragons are finally able to cut off Sweeney from this corner and go to work much to the pleasure of the fans. Phil Davis saves Sweeney from a DRAKES LANDING but Drake Younger pins Sweeney moments later with a deathjump cross body block. (Sweeney 7; S. Davis 5; P. Davis 6; Vortekz 4; Lee 3; Younger 4) (** ½)

Match 6: Necro Butcher v. Timber
Butcher opens with a flying hammerlock into a victory roll but Timber reversed out into a standing dropkick… and then I woke up! The fans were braced for impact from the opening bell with the Butcher and Insane Lumberjack in the ring. This one went from the extreme to Bizarre when Sam Hayne came to ringside and just stood and watched the action. Timber finally noticed him and Hayne just stood with his arms folded and told Timber “Impress Me.” Something turned on inside Timber from that point as he took control of the match at ringside after ramming Butcher into the ring rails and finished the match with a moonsault. Timber immediately yelling out to Hayne wanting to know what his problem was. The distraction allows Butcher to attack Timber from behind and lay him out with a TIGER DRIVER. Hayne seemed pleased laughing and saying “very good, very good” before heading to the back. (Butcher 5; Timber 4) (*)

Match 7: J. D. Michaels w/April Hunter v. Adam Pearce w/Eddie Fyne
Pearce gets into it with the fans and is quickly the most hated man in the building. Pearce does not earn any more fans when he simply destroys his Canadian opponent. A powerslam gives Pearce a two count before he ends it quickly with JUMPING PILEDRIVER (Michaels 6; Pearce 4) (dud)

Match 8: Triple Threat Match – Mike Quackenbush v. Delirious v. Chris Hero
This one gets plenty of time and is nonstop action from start to finish. Delirious is on fire early on with a series of leaping clotheslines that take out both Hero and Quackenbush. Quackenbush is out of the action for a while after Hero crushed him at ringside with a Hero stomp off the apron. All three men are very closely matched. The ring shakes as Hero takes four consecutive Panic Attacks! Quackenbush saves Delirious from a HERO’S WELCOME. Delirious is out of it at ringside for some time and the fans get Quackenbush v. Hero which gets a huge reaction from ringside. Delirious rolls clear or Quackenbush’s deathjump smash and nearly gets a three count. The end comes with Hero on the area floor and Quackenbush hits the QUACKENDRIVER II on Delirious for the three count. (Quackenbush 5, Delirious 7, Hero 5) (****)

News and views: Solid opening show with a fantastic main event that could have gone any way . . . Ricky Landell was not impressed backstage after his match against Claudio Castagnoli. Landell had demanded a rematch with Castagnoli . . . What business does Sam Hayne have with Timber the Insane Lumberjack?

[Crimson Cross]

Very Cool to see a LotF fed in OCW, I like seeing Harker Dirge win over Savage-T and too bad Dupae Rupa lost to Cannon...

It's good to see Timber win but Necro laid him out badly post-match, that'll be interesting to see why Hayne was involved...

The Triple Threat Match looked really good and Mike Quackenbush takes the victory with Delirious & Hero on the outs, Solid start to your OCW...

[bookerbill]

Thanks for the feedback CC.

The action continues...

Card 1.2: Moose Lodge, Kitchener

Commissioner Cox opens the show and announces a Round Robin Challenge between Chris Hero, Delirious and Mike Quackenbush. Cox tells us that each wrestler will face the other once over the course of tonight’s card and holds a coin toss to determine the first match. It will be Delirious against Quackenbush to open the night. The crowd is hot from the outset.

Match 1: Delirious v. Mike Quackenbush
Great reaction for both men as they came to the ring. Strong start for Delirious including a pair of CHEMICAL IMBLANCE #2s but Quackenbush has a series of last second kick outs that keeps the crowd hot. Quackenbush makes a comeback and picks up a couple of near falls. Quackenbush tosses Delirious to the floor and then dives off the corner onto Delirious at ringside. Great reaction from the fans as both men struggle to regain their feet. Quackenbush is up first and gets under the ropes before the 10 count for the count-out win. Hot opener to get things going. (Delirious 4; Quackenbush 7) (***)

Match 2: Savage T w/K.J. Hill v. Dupae Rupa
Rupa draws modest heat with his Belgian flag waving before the bell and uses his size advantage to push around T early on. T makes a comeback at ringside reversing a whip into the ring post. The advantage is short lived as Rupa is back on top with shoulder tackle followed by a BELGIAN WAFFLE but T finds a way to kick out at the last second. Rupa is furious and takes the bout to the floor punishing T with a snakes eyes onto a ringside table. Great reaction from the fans for the sick looking spot and T does not recover and is counted out of the ring. (T 6; Rupa 5) (*)

Match 3: J. D. Michaels & Arik Cannon w/April Hunter v. Larry Sweeney & Adam Pearce w/Eddie Fyne
The crowd is once again hot during the introductions especially for Sweeney & Pearce who they love to hate. Unfortunately the action in the ring is not as hot. Cannon struggles against Pearce but Michael’s tags in to a solid pop from ringside. Pearce is able to maintain control and tags in Sweeney who uses a ’68 Comeback Special to force Michaels to the floor. Sweeney comes outside and smashes Michaels with his Tex-Arkana Television Title Belt and Michaels is counted out of the ring. The action continues after the bell with Pearce and Sweeney beating down on Cannon but Michaels is able to recover with the assistance of Hunter, grab a chair and clear the ring. (Pearce 4; Sweeney 4; Cannon 4; Michaels 4) (dud)

Match 4: Harker Dirge v. Drake Younger
Harker is armed with his chain as he comes to the ring. The fans get behind Younger from the opening bell but he struggles to get anything going. Younger escapes a DIRT NAP buy grabbing the ropes and then makes a comeback cumulating in a DRAKE’S LANDING for a near fall. Dirge counters a backdrop with a piledriver and regains control. Younger escapes another DIRT NAP but a third ends it. (Dirge 4; Younger 7) (** ½)

Match 5: Delirious v. Chris Hero
This was the second match of the round robin challenge. Hero was the favourite heading into the match with Delirious already competing in a gruelling contest with Mike Quackenbush in the opening match. The action is closely contested from the opening bell. Hero cranks things up with some trash talk and a shove which only fires up Delirious and a leaping clothesline sends Hero to the mat. It is back and forth from that point. Delirious tries a series of Cobra Stretches to wear down Hero. Hero counters back with a Hero Sandwich and cravate. The action goes to the floor and both men brawl around ringside risking disqualification. Later, Chris Hero pulls Delirious to the floor again and whips him into the ring post. This time the referee makes the disqualification call. (Delirious 3; Hero 4) (*)

Match 6: Samoan Island Tribe v. Backseat Boyz
Last card, the Samoans came away with a disqualification win over the Boyz but both teams were not satisfied and wanted a rematch. Commissioner Cox was more than happy to make the match. The action is fast paced and intense from the outset. Alofa is nearly counted out of the ring after Trent Acid dives onto him at ringside. The fans are rocking. The Samoan’s turn things around with some power moves including a wicked chokeslam by Samu on Johnny Kashmere. The Boyz turns thing back around with a defensive tag that allows Acid to get the edge against Alofa. Acid hits a tornado DDT onto the floor and Alofa is counted out of the ring. The action does not end there as the Boyz double up on both Samoans and which ends with an Alofa going through a table at ringside with an Acid legdrop! A bloody and battered Alofa needs assistance to leave ringside. (Alofa 6; Samu 3; Acid 4; Kashmere 3) (**)

Match 7: Claudio Castagnoli v. Ricky Landell
Last card Castagnoli embarrassed Landell with a RICOLA BOMB after they shook hands and tonight Landell was looking for some payback. Solid action in this back and forth battle from the opening bell. Landell gets the crowd into the match with a solid missile dropkick early on and kicks out of an early pin attempt after a Alpamare Waterslide. The match almost ends when Castagnoli rolls clear of a deathjump and Landell crashes to the mat in a heap. Castagnoli kicks out after a FISHERMAN’S BUSTER. The finish comes when Castagnoli used a back to back scissor kicks to the face to set up a RICOLA BOMB. (Landell 7; Castagnoli 4) (**)

Match 8: Heartbreak Xpress w/Larry Sweeney v. Naptown Dragons
The fans are all over Sweet ‘N’ Sour Inc. from the moment they hit ringside. Both teams show what tag team wrestling is all about early on with quick tags in and out of the ring. The Xpress take over the match cutting off Dustin Lee. Die Hard wears the crimson mask after Sean Davis runs him into timekeeper’s bell. With the crowd behind them, the Dragons make their comeback and have Sean Davis beat with DOUBLE DRAGON but Sweeney is able to cause the distraction and the action continues. The Xpress regain the advantage with some impressive double teaming but Phil Davis is disqualified when he blasts Lee with a foreign object. After the match, both teams brawl until security arrives to break things up. (S. Davis 6; P. Davis 3; Vortekz 4; Lee 4) (* ½)

Match 9: Timber v. Necro Butcher
The bout between these two last card was not the powder keg that everyone expected and took a bizarre twist when Same Hayne showed up to watch the action from the ring aisle. The action stays in the ring early on and Timber dominates with his size advantage. He stuns the fans with a pair of moonsaults that hit their mark but choses to punish Butcher rather than go for the cover. Timber wins the first two exchanges at ringside. Sam Hayne once again makes an appearance and Timber tells him to get into the ring. The fans want to see it as well. Butcher gains a brief advantage at ringside but Timber is fired up tonight and regains control when the action returns to the ring. The action goes back outside and the referee loses control. Timber shoves the referee to the floor and is disqualified. Hayne is very pleased saying “very good” before leaving Butcher and Timber continuing to battle at ringside. Security arrives to pull the two men apart. (Timber 4; Butcher 4) (*)

Match 10: Mike Quackenbush v. Chris Hero
It has been a long night for the fans and they are more than ready for the main event. It has been some time since Quackenbush has had the opportunity to face his former partner in the ring and he is fired up from the bell crushing Hero with QUACKENDRIVER III in the opening minute for a 2 ½ count. Hero Is reeling and bails to the floor but Quackenbush flies over the ropes onto Hero at ringside resulting in a very near count out. Hero stumbles back into the ring and Quackenbush wraps him up in a CHIKARA SPECIAL for the win. The crowd explodes and Quackenbush has won the round robin challenge! (Quackenbush 4; Hero 8) (* ½)

News and views: Congratulations to Mike Quackenbush for winning the round robin challenge and gaining a satisfying victory over his former partner Chris Hero to win the event . . . What a finish to the brawl between the Samoan Island Tribe and the Backseat Boyz. Word from the dressing room was the Alofa was being taken to hospital for observation with possible broken ribs. It is unclear whether or not he will miss any action . . . What does Sam Hayne want with Timber? The Commissioner is watching this situation closely . . . Ricky Landell came up short tonight but showed that he belonged in the same ring with someone the calibre of Claudio Castagnoli . . . Dupae Rupa looked ruthless tonight dishing out the punishment to Savage T . . . The Heartbreak Xpress were not pleased with the outcome of the match and in particular questioned why Larry Sweeney did not distract the official when Phil Davis used the foreign object. Perhaps we are seeing cracks in Sweet ‘N’ Sour Inc after only two cards . . . .J. D. Michaels & Arik Cannon have demanded a rematch with Larry Sweeney & Adam Pearce after the controversial ending to their match . . .

[Crimson Cross]

A very interesting night of action, several count out victories on the night and it'll be interesting to see why Hayne wants Timber, plus it's cool seeing Harker Dirge with a victory and Mike Quackenbush wins a great round robin...

[cruefan68]

Just saw your new fed, Bookerbill. I like this as it's a nice contrast to your legends fed. Good stuff and it was cool seeing Mike Quackenbush win the tournament.

[bookerbill]

Thanks for reading CC and Cruefan.

I thought I would have a side fed to avoid burn out in my legends fed. The format will be similar to my legends fed but I will maintain a smaller roster.

Up next, I am going to determine my first champion in a four corners Iron Man Match similar to the way ROH championship match back in the day. Points will be awarded for winning a fall and points will be taken away for dropping a fall. The top four in the singles rankings will be in the match... Lightening Quackenbush, Claudio Castagnoli, Scrap Iron Pearce and Harker Dirge!

[bookerbill]

Time to crown the first champion.

Card 1.3: Rideau Carleton Raceway, Ottawa

Match 1: Savage T v. Dupae Rupa
Savage T took a serious beating last card against the Belgian Brawler but wanted to come back for more. T thrills the fans with actually getting some offense in. However, for the most part, Rupa uses his size advantage to control the action and ends it with a BELGIAN WAFFLE (T 6, Rupa 5) (*)

Match 2: Sam Hayne v J. D. Michael w/April Hunter
Michaels gets a warm reception from his fellow Canadians as he comes to the ring. Michaels builds on the crowd support and completely dominates the action from the opening bell with his speed. Hayne barely kicks out of a TOP ROPE ELBOW DROP and Michael’s keeps on coming. Haynes gets some heat back during ringside brawl and is able to overpower Michaels for several minutes. Michael’s lights up ringside with a pair of dives through the ropes onto Hayne at ringside. Michaels cannot find a way to put Hayne away and eventually Hayne catches a break by blocking a body slam attempt and pins Michaels after a Satancanrana. (Hayne 5; Michaels 6) (**)

Match 3: Delirious v. Ricky Landell
Landell looks impressive early on until Delirious starts spouting gibberish and takes over the action. Landell escapes a Cobra Stretch but cannot get anything going. Delirious ends it with CHEMICAL IMBALANCE. Delirious grabs the mic after his win and appears to demand a title match. No one can understand a word but the crowd eats it up. Commissioner Charlie Cox comes out and tells Delirious if he wants a title shot he can work his way up the ladder and earn one. (Delirious 2; Landell 6) (*)

Match 4: Chris Hero v. Arik Cannon
Hero is out to a Kings of Wrestling Chant. It is all Cannon from the outset despite his size disadvantage. A swinging neckbreaker sets up a brainbuster that gets 2 ¾. Hero is reeling but hits a big boot out of nowhere and quickly makes the cover for the shocking win. (Hero 5; Cannon 5) (*)

Match 5: Samu v. Trent Acid w/Johnny Kashmere
Last card, the Backseat Boyz injured Alofa in a wild post match brawl. Samu was looking for some payback for his partner and beats Acid from post to post in the opening minutes. Acid kicks out after a DIVING HEADBUTT but only the interference of the Kashmere keeps Acid alive after a head butt. Commissioner Cox arrives with security and escorts Kashmere to the back. Acid is upset but manages to keep control in the ring with an Acid Lock, figure four leg lock (ch) and Blue Thunder Bomb. Samu will not be denied tonight and with the fans behind him makes a comeback and ends it with a Samoan Drop. Samu snaps after the bell and tosses the referee to the floor. He then hits a head butt in the middle of the ring before grabbing a table from ringside and tossing it into the ring. Kashmere is back but is taken out by Alofa who comes out of nowhere with his ribs taped up. Samu sets the table up against the buckles and puts Acid through the table with another Samoan Drop. Acid needs medical attention and assistance leaving the ring. (Acid 8; Samu 3) (*)

Match 6: Heatbreak Xpress & Larry Sweeney v. Naptown Dragons
This is rematch from card 1 where the Dragons came away with the win. The Dragons look impressive early on cutting off Phil Davis from his corner. Davis is nearly pinned by Scotty Vortekz’s Cyclone Kick. Drake Younger is in and has the match won with a DRAKE’S LANDING but Sean Davis and Sweeney jump into the ring starting a brawl. The Xpress and Sweeney manage to gain the advantage as the referee restores order Phil Davis blasts Younger with a foreign object but the referee sees the infraction and calls for the disqualification. The Dragons storm the ring and the Xpress wisely bail and retreat to the back. (S. Davis 5; P. Davis 5; Sweeney 4; Younger 3; Lee 3; Vortekz 4) (**)

Match 7: Necro Butcher v. Timber
Butcher dominated the early action in the ring with his power advantage. The fans kept waiting from Sam Hayne to make an appearance and they were not disappointed as once again Hayne made his way down to the ring. With Butch in control, Hayne seems very pleased especially when the action spilled out onto the floor where Butcher gave Timber a backbreaker onto a steel chair in a sick looking spot. Hayne left as suddenly as he arrived. Timber is able to make a comeback on offense picking up a two counter after a spine buster. The action continued to spill in and out of the ring until Timber was disqualified for running Butcher into the steel rails busting him open. (Butcher 5; Timber 6) (**)

Match 8: Four Corners Iron Man Ontario Title Match – Claudio Castagnoli v. Harker Dirge v. Mike Quackenbush v. Adam Pearce w/Eddie Fyne
The ring announcer tells us the rules of the match. For each fall, the winner receives one point and the loser loses a point. The wrestler with the most points at the end of a one hour time limit will be the first Ontario Champion. All four men see action early on with tags in and out of the ring. Castagnoli gains a significant advantage over Adam Pearce but cannot pick up a fall despite several minutes of continuous offense. Eventually Pearce gives way to Dirge and then we get Quackenbush against Castagnoli. The action goes to the floor and Castagnoli drags Quackenbush outside and rams him back first into the steel post. Castagnoli is disqualified so fall one goes to Quackenbush. Quackenbush is slow to make it back to the ring. The second fall gets underway and Castagnoli uses a scissors kick to the face to set up a RICOLA BOMB onto Quackenbush’s already injured back but Quackenbush gets his shoulder up. Castagnoli hits a Roaring European Uppercut and crushes Quackenbush with a second RICOLA BOMB but once again Quackenbush is able to lift the shoulder. The crowd is going nuts. Frustrated, Castagnoli tosses Quackenbush to the floor somehow Quackenbush draws on the fans support and finds a way to brawl with Castagnoli. Quackenbush sends Castagnoli into the steel post shoulder first and is disqualified. Everyone is even again after two falls. It is all Quackenbush to start the third fall but Castagnoli is able to tag in Dirge. He cannot get anything going against Quackenbush. Pearce is in and finally Quackenbush runs out of gas. Pearce catches Quackenbush with a deathjump clothesline then wins the third fall with a JUMPING PILEDRIVER. Pearce is now in the lead with one point and Quackenbush falls off the pace at minus one after dropping two straight falls. Before dropping another fall, Quackenbush wisely makes a tag out to Dirge. Pearce continues to impress and Dirge gives way to Castagnoli who is able to overpower Pearce and crushes him with a RICOLA BOMB. Dirge attempts a pin save but Castagnoli crushes him with a RICOLA BOMB and the crowd eats it up. Castagnoli then takes out Pearce with a second RICOLA BOMB for the pin. Pearce drops to zero and Castagnoli has one point picking up his second fall of the match. With time running down, someone has to beat Castagnoli. It is Pearce against Castagnoli. If Pearce can pick up a pin it will even things up again. Castagnoli tries for a pin after an Alphamare Waterslide but Pearce manages to get a shoulder up. Pearce cannot gain control as the bell sounds, Claudio Castagnoli is the first Ontario Champion! Commissioner Charlie Cox comes to the ring and presents Castagnoli with the Ontario Championship Title. (Quackenbush 8; Peace 8; Castagnoli 4; Dirge 3) (**)

News and views: Congratulations to Claudio Castagnoli who is the first Ontario Champion . . . After the second straight card with injuries, Commissioner Cox has stepped into the Backseat Boyz – Samoan Island Tribe feud and suspended Samu for five cards after he took out a referee and decimated Trent Acid . . . Things continue to heat up between the Dragons and the Heartbreak Xpress . . . Commissioner Cox has warned Sam Hayne about his trips to ringside during the matches between Necro Butcher and Timber . . . Speaking of Hayne, Canadian J. D.

[Crimson Cross]

A very entertaining event, it's great to see Rupa over Savage-T and Sam Hayne with a hard fought win is pretty cool. Too bad Timber was DQ'd but it happens and Wow! that title match looked wild, it's cool seeing CC win the gold...
