Revolutionary Reunion?

[Bloom]

As in every era there is always one group that captures and defines and represents the view of its people. In the 60's there were the Beatles, the 70's there were Drugs, 80s Rock-n-Roll, 90s was Grunge Music, and the 2000s could very well be defined by one of the most influential and impactful factions in all of wrestling. Revolution INC. has gone hand in hand with the success and growth of Online Championship Wrestling. As all good things, everything comes to an end. At Consequence, the wrestling industry saw what they thought impossible. The four foundation members of Revolution INC in the same ring pitted against one another for the top prize in wrestling; The OCW Heavyweight Championship. We managed to catch up with the members of OCW's first faction of wrestling, and pick their brains apart and see where they are and what they thought of their time on top of the world.

 

Despite life and career threatening injuries, Nate Ortiz was generous enough to invite us into his hospital room and talk to us

 

Bloom: Nate, when the name Revolution Inc is brought up, what do you think comes to mind? How would you want fans to remember a group that changed the impact of wrestling on the world today?

 

Ortiz: When Revolution Inc comes to mind, I smile because of all that we accomplished as a group. The best way I can describe Rev Inc. and how I hope everyone else will remember Rev Inc is a great group of guys who came together and did just about all a group could do.

 

Bloom: With all dominant Factions, people grow and become stars. Did you ever feel that Rev Inc held you back from accomplishing all that you wanted to?

 

Ortiz: I've accomplished alot in this great business. I'm a three time OCW World Champion. A two time Tag Team Champion. A Super S Cup Champion. I'm a Hall of Famer. I accomplished all of that with the backing of Rev Inc. I think Revolution allowed all of us to grow and develope and further our careers.

 

Bloom: You tried to burn your former teammates alive. You've been forgiven by them and by the crowd. However, former teammate Nick Kage also turned his back on Revolution Inc. Can you relate to Nick at all?

 

Ortiz: Nick and I go way back. Look I'm not going to judge Nick Kage. He did what he felt he had to do. But let me make this loud and clear. I will never be able to relate to Nick Kage. I turned my back on Rev Inc and made it clear. Nick Kage hid behind a mask and snaked each and everyone one of us. So no Matt I will never be compared to like Nick Kage.

 

Bloom: One last question for you Nate. If you could send one message to all of your Revolution Inc Teammates?

 

Ortiz: Each and everyone of them had heart. They had a passion for this business and busted themselves every night they went out there.

 

 

Our next stop was to the lovely yet strange lounge pad of one Sage Versus. The CCW Champion could be argued as the most changed since his days in Revolution Inc. Versus was always the heart and soul of the group, and a founder father of the Revolution. Versus saw ups and downs with the faction that helped create and establish the name of Versus as household.

 

Bloom: Versus what was your motivation for creating Revolution Inc?

 

Versus: Rev Inc started out as a balance in power. In 2005 nGx was running wild and someone needed to step up and say "we don't think so". Blade and I decided that it was time to do something. We didn't want the power falling into the wrong hands

 

Bloom: Versus, you're relationship with Nick Kage has been one that has certainly evolved over time. You two were the most successful tag team OCW has ever seen, and you two formed a close bond. Describe a little bit for the people that don't know how you're relationship with Nick Kage has gone.

 

Versus: Ahhhh, my former brother in arms. Well, Nate, Blade and I were looking for a wrestler who posessed all of the same qualities that we felt we brought to the table. So after a brief discussion, and further evaluation of his work ethic, and in ring performance, and we knew we had our guy. So, after Nick joined, he and I eventually formed a tag team. After fighting for over a year together, and winning the tag titles 4 times, on top of other singles titles, we were almost unstoppable. That was of course, until Kage decided to go ahead and turn on the brotherhood, and make his mark on the company by taking all that Revolution Inc stood for, all that we'd worked for...together, and flushed it down the toilet. Kage teamed up with Geomon, turned his back on Revolution Inc, as well as kidnapped the then OCW champion, RD Money. Crap move, but sometimes you have to do what you feel you have to do.

 

Bloom: Versus, it's no secret that you've endured a lot of backstabbing here in OCW. You've had two of your so called brothers turn on you within the last year. Describe how that has made you stronger?

 

Versus: Being able to turn a negative in a positive is the truest example of strength. Inner strength. The fact that I've persevered and improved through the trials and tribulations over the past couple years, is the best example I have of how I've become stronger.

 

Bloom: Finally a question that I'm sure is looming in some fans' mind. Do you ever see a return of Rev Inc?

 

Versus: Well, at this time, not necessarily. Kage is clearly on a mission to destroy everything. Let's see....Nate's crippled. Blades M.I.A., and here I am, the CCW champ. We've taken different paths, especially Nate, may he one day return. So, I really don't see it happening any time soon, if ever. Although, the one thing I've learned from being a Revolutionist is never say never.

 

After speaking with one founding father, we hoped to track down Blade. Unfortunately after extensive exploration we were only able to get a voice recording of Blade who sent word to us.

 

Blade: The Revolution was a dream that Versus and I had. We built it to stand for something. Something that never fell. Each one of those guys are my brothers and I wish them all well

 

Of course no story is complete without both sides being told. However, at the time of print we were unable to get in touch with the self proclaimed killer of the Revolution was unavailable for comment. We will update the article as soon as possible with words from the Hardcore Champion.

 

 

 

No Revolution is complete unless it effects others. Former Revolution Inc member Tyler Ewanchuk described Revolution Inc as this:

"The group itself was great, a lot of great guys who were dedicated to what they were doing, that is why Rev INC. was so succesful. If you look at everybody who was in Rev INC. in the past that is still around, there marquee guys that still are as dedicated as before, if not more and keep getting better and better as time goes on."

 

As you can see Revolution Inc has left its mark on this company. Will the group that once faced any obsticle set in it's way reunite ever again? Only time can tell, and until next time this has been Matt Bloom reporting for OCW
