NOT VEGGIE LASAGNA

ACTIVATE FULL POWER

As first reported by GRAPS editor Charles C. Knighton -- January 24th, 2026 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Late Saturday evening, the wrestling landscape was stunned at initial unverified rumors that former OCW & CCW champion Isaiah Quartz (Currently known as Inness Quartz to OCW fans), was fired at the conclusion of RIOT 649 earlier that night. Quartz was said to have been "uncooperatively removed from Madison Square Garden" after ambushing OCW HOFer and long-time interviewer Stacy Clark during her planned episode of "The Clark Effect". Quartz made vile threats towards Stacy, though she was thankfully able to escape unscathed. The same cannot be said for upwards of 9 Madison Square Garden security officials, as well as two junior referees, and OCW Producer Cort Marshall, who were all caught up in a brawl that started in the ring and escalated backstage and throughout the building. Though the early rumors Quartz was leaving the company were confirmed to be untrue, it was made clear that OCWFed owner Jaysin Clinton Sensation was present during the brawl and made it clear Quartz would be suspended indefinitely without pay and would not be welcome at future shows until further notice. OCWFed has cracked down on physicality towards their non-wrestling staff and has levied over $775,000 in combined fines and multiple suspensions over the last 2 years for those unwilling to keep their hands off of vulnerable staff members. The continued effort to create a safe and reliable work environment for those who are not contracted professional wrestlers has increased backstage morale overall and led to an expansion of duties and production values for OCW, however the recent actions of Quartz looks to put those improvements at risk. Quartz, who signed with OCWFed in January 2018, has been a fixture on television and freemium live events for most of his career. After returning several months earlier than expected in January 2025 from a second ACL tear, it has been a rollercoaster for the OCW star, to say the least. It was an uncharacteristic show of violence towards his former mentor Ryu "Spider" Matsumoto early in the year that started to turn heads, but soon after, Inness' usual friendly, stoic, and humble persona took a dark turn. 2025 only grew worse from there, as Quartz would go on to unsuccessfully challenge for the CCW Championship several times while toeing the company line when it came to his superiors and fellow pro wrestlers. He hasn't been the same in-ring since this sudden change, either, as the losses continued to pile up and he is considered partially responsible for injuring several fellow wrestlers and fully responsible for costing former Light Heavyweight Champion Anthony Baker his job with the company. The downward spiral for the once respected locker room leader seems to have no signs of slowing down and this latest incident is not going to do him any favors. While Quartz' is still currently listed as an active member of the OCWFed roster, the days of seeing the former champion on OCWFed Television could very well be behind us. We will continue to monitor this volatile situation and expect to have an update from OCWFed management no later than next Friday as Turmoil 343 & an exciting 2026 looms ahead.

IT'S DARK AND HELL IS HOT

2026 OCW BACK IN ACTION!

One of the few moments I've had to sit down and give a thorough review of this card. It was tremendous. AC Cobra is paid for his spot in the tournament So, with AC Cobra winning the title right before the Next Cup, Cobra would have to be replaced. And the story of paying off for the spot is great. I do think if the eventual winner of the tournament is from that spot, I think they'd have to respectfully not take a shot at them while champion, right? Seems a double win for Cobra. Armado jinx counter: Hada vs Bishop - I I I Jackson vs Beatrix - Didn't hear any. Omen vs Lovelace - I I I Junko vs Tre - I I Kamedo Hada vs ???? A Key note on this match, watching the on air chemistry of Jay and Armado start to form was hilarious. This was a very solid match. It was 2 very similar in ring competitors, height, weight, etc. So, this match was going to be a good solid technical match up and it was. Both showcased a lot in the match, which I loved. Bishop stepping over Hada multiple times, Hada with the mist and the fake dive attempt. Good opener. Mad Dawg and Marissa Soft Core Pt 1 In a theme that keep growing, the 1st part of the soft core advertisements. There was some nice attention to detail in the videos. But, this promo, I feel awkward watching it twice. I feel it puts me on some sort of registry. Jackson vs ??? I thought I was crazy when I heard the smoke alarm went off, but it going off twice, gotta be intentional, right? Perl vs Jackson would've been amazing start. But, we instead get Beatrix. The back and forth between Armado and Jay steals the match. This match gave me a feel of desperation from Jackson. Greg showing that he doesn't care about Rope Breaks with this match. Question of the night: "Jay does it hurt more if the guy giving you the headbutt is bald?" SOOO Great. Good win. Love the respect shown from the two at the end. OCW Action Figures GREAT use of AI. This got me excited. Great job on this one. I loved it, so much. Lovelace vs Omen This was my favorite of the opening matches, not because I won, but because I genuinely thinks this match up was the perfect example of what the intergender match ups should've been. Omen threw her around from the start, displaying the bigger person. Shianne plays smaller faster wrestler perfectly. The moveset Shianne came out with the counter the size of Omen was great, despite her getting reverse. I think the best part of the night, but specifically this match, came from when Shianne jumped on Omens back and started scratching his face. It was perfect. Would 100 % work with Shianne again. Great chemistry. Mad Dawg and Marissa Soft Core Pt 2 My only gripe with this segment was it was like 4-5 segments in one. Other than that, it was good. Junko vs Tre I was looking forward to this match up almost as much as I was looking forward to Jackson vs Perl. With the users having a lot of connection between them, I expected really even match up. Training Day Jay mid match gets me going. Too bad this was the last time these two worked together of the night. Armado FINALLY showing life during this match. Just took some Spanish enthusiasm. Greg apparently will look at the rope if a male is getting pinned by a woman. Quartz and Sheldon w/ Cort Marshall I will admit, I don't have any context of Cort Marshall, but this was a good promo. With Sheldon hitting Hot Topic in 2005 and stealing Omen's hair dye, this looks like a cry for help for those times. That being said, I'm wondering what's next. Golden vs Omen I won't touch much on this match. I liked this match, but I think it was the 3rd best match of mine for the night. It was a good solid matchup and Tre and Omen do produce good matches together. Bishop vs Jackson What got me out of this match immediately, was this might be the 1st match I've ever seen with Jackson not doing a pre match shit talk. That kinda gave me a feeling that 'this won't turn out well.' I'm not gonna harp on the needing your opponent stunned to hit a sig. You do you. Kicking out of a pin and losing still, it def set up the finals. I can't complain. Soto v Dragana With Perl gone, there really is only 2 big options for Soto at the moment. And I can't wait to see this turns out. Omen vs Bishop The finals of the first cup. If you were going to find a match that the essence of describes wrestling, it would be this match. You got a smaller baby face, whos defeating the odds and making it to the end. You got the big nasty heel that is just menacing. As a fan of wrestling, it doesn't get any better than that idea. That being said, the match was very close to not delivering. But, it flipped and it flipped quickly. This was an amazing match and Bishop was the right winner. Behind the scenes thoughts I will say, having all the intergender matches in the 1st round, I hate that idea from the beginning. I was worried that all men or all woman were gonna win 1 round and the excitement of the possible matches would fizzle. If you guys did this again, I would def look at a 1 male 1 female and 2 intergender matches in the first round, to guarantee we'd get at least 1 more intergender match in the tournament. Jay going training day on Armado in the opening round, debating Omen's origins, if he shares some stuff with Jackson before the match, asking how to say shit in spanish, for all the hiccups that happened early on in the tournament, the stride was hitting at the end, I hope they do get more chances. Jim and I had predictions on who the last people were, and being that my side of the bracket had no mysteries, The anticipation was great. We both generally agree Bishop was the guy for the men. So, good choice for Cobra's replacement. I will say this, for me, 2k25 has been generally pretty successful. I went into the tournament with 2 mindsets, I either a, NEEDED to win, or b, make it finals and make the eventual winner look great. I think a lost vs Shianne would've been great though. But, when I woke up to a DM from Bishop, the one guy who had pinned me one on one this season, I definitely got goose bumps. I cannot stress enough how much I thought for sure, if it's Bishop in the mystery spot, it would only makes sense. I think the Next Cup was one of the best ideas I've seen. I wouldn't normally get a chance to talk to or even work with a Shianne, or Junko, or Cobra (at this moment, at least) and seeing these matches that aren't JUST matches, made this a lot of fun to participate in. I'm hoping Omen gets invited back in, but it was a great mix of people that cared. I'm sure there is a lot I missed.

POWERFUL

What a great way to bring in 2026! Excellent matches and segments. Amped to see what you filthy animals cook up for the rest of the year! #HOOPIN'

ONE AND DONE!

Two familiar names will be absent from OCWFed programming for the time being, with Paul Harris and Skadi both stepping away from active competition. In Paul Harris’ case, there are no injury or contractual issues at play. The situation is being described as an open-ended hiatus, with no current timetable in place for a return. There has been no indication that Harris’ status with the promotion has changed, and a comeback has not been ruled out. Skadi, meanwhile, is understood to be away for medical reasons. While specific details have not been disclosed, the decision is believed to be precautionary in nature. In a brief statement, Skadi said: “I’m taking a little time to focus on my health and appreciate the understanding and support. I’ll see you when the time is right.” At present, there is no timetable for Skadi’s return either, with OCWFed yet to comment further on either situation.

Cheryl Stixx Turns Heads at OCW Next Cup — “Just a Fan Tonight” OCW fans may have noticed a very familiar face in the VIP section ahead of tonight’s OCW Next Cup tournament — and yes, that was Cheryl Stixx, seated comfortably above the action and very much enjoying the view. Before the first bell rang, a WhatCulture reporter caught up with Stixx in the VIP area, where she arrived solo, dressed to impress, and seemingly in no rush to be anywhere else. When asked why she was in attendance tonight, Cheryl smiled and shrugged. “Oh, I’m just here as a fan,” she said casually. “A celebrity fan, I guess. I’m here for free, so… I figured why not? Turns out I like wrestling. Shocker.” Stixx, who recently competed at Anniversary, appeared relaxed and amused by the atmosphere, brushing off any implication that she was frustrated about simply watching from the sidelines. “I’m not a booker...” she added with a laugh. “So if you’ve got questions about brackets or decisions, you’re gonna have to ask someone else.” Despite not competing, Cheryl made it clear she had her favorites — particularly on the women’s side. “I’m really hoping one of the girls wins the whole thing,” she said. “I like that one who punched me once… Shianne! I love her. She’s cute.” The reporter also noted that Stixx looked especially striking tonight, prompting a quick grin from Cheryl. “Thank you,” she replied. “I clean up nice when I’m not busy getting thrown around.” Notably absent at her side was her twin brother Danny, something Cheryl waved off just as quickly. “Yeah, it’s just me tonight,” she said. “But he might be around... I dunno, you gotta look for him.” If there was any disappointment about not being part of the tournament, Cheryl didn’t dwell on it — or at least didn’t give anyone the satisfaction. “Tonight’s about enjoying the moment, and new stars” she said lightly. “I’m good.” The interview wrapped shortly before the Next Cup officially got underway, with Stixx settling back into the VIP section, eyes on the ring and a knowing smile on her face. Whether fan, fighter, or headline-maker, one thing remains clear: Cheryl Stixx always finds a way to stay part of the conversation — even when she’s “just watching.” Stixx up!

IT BE THAT WAY SOMETIMES!

New York, NY - Another injury to report. The Big man of Southern Dirty Cash Wade Walker has a pectoral injury. The extent is unknown at this point as he heads home to Alabama for tests. Another huge blow as we reported earlier Women's star Perl is undergoing evaluation for an injury as well. The holiday season has not been kind to OCW as some of the talent seem to be limping into the new year. As always keep tuned in here at Elite Wrestling Digest for all your injury news and updates.

New York, NY - OCWFED is set to put on the Next Cup as their first show of the year. The field has been released but matchups are still to come on this one night tournament. Sources tell me however Perl is injured coming off a rough stretch after her loss to Deborah Soto at the Anniversary 21 FLE. Sources tell me that it is a knee injury and she is going in for evaluation at Mount Sinai Hospital. Tests will determine how long the high flying Digital Dime will be out. Initial speculations are she has torn her ACL and will be out indefinitely. Origin of the injury is believed to occur when Perl slipped trying to deliver a suicide dive to H20 during their main event mixed tag match a couple of weeks. The injury was aggravated during her match with Deborah. Perl headed home to California during the holiday break and was spotted wearing a heavy knee and moving around on crutches. With Perl's Next Cup status uncertain make sure to check back for more updates from the Elite Wrestling Digest.
