Welcome to episode #1 of Wrestling Ichiban Weekly with yours truly, The Original Wrestling Journalist, Gabe Seltzer. Online Championship Wrestling has graciously allowed me to attend all of their events and watch fantastic wrestling matches in exchange for weekly insider reviews & comments on everything OCW. Also, can't forget, I will be from time to time covering the fantastic world of wrestling elsewhere, especially in the great land of the Rising Sun, Japan.

 

Match Reviews

(Note that I will review all matches on a scale of 1 to 5 stars BUT the matches that are exceptionally amazing will receive 6 stars. Very few matches have received this honor.)

 

Well where do I start, this week featured some of the greatest wrestlers to ever have been in a Japanese ring.

 

The night started off in a fantastic bout between Bedlam and Spider, who I have had the pleasure watching wrestle numerous times in the Sumo Hall. This fantastic, hard hitting matchup ends just the way I would have liked it. 4*

 

K.D, who I shall not compare to Bill Pine tonight.....oops. Well he was put in a heated match against Leonheart. This little feud has been brewing for a while and I think it just may reach its boiling point soon. I was hoping to see more but obviously Leon was not looking to win by fair means and hired some help. A lot more potential for this match when this match happens again with hopefully no interference. 3 1/2*

 

One of my good friends, Mugen, faced off against the recently returning Jookie Marley. While you may expect that a match with Jookie would bring the star rating of this match down 2 stars instantly, this match was quite a thrilling competition between the two. It finished with one of the wildest sequences of attempts at finishing moves that I have seen in a while. 4 1/4*

Gaijin of the year runner up (Editors note: Gaijin means foreigner in Japanese) Pugh is making it hard for me to continue voting against him. This hard fought match with Komodo was a great way to warm up for his upcoming title defense. 4*

 

Another one of my favorite gaijin wrestlers, Dimsmore continues to show me why I am such a fan of his work. This match also had a crazy sequence to finish the match. Fortunately the loss to Jacob Trance does not make me think of Dimsmore any less. Trance does move up a bit more in my books and deserves that future title shot. Easily my match of the night 4 3/4*

 

In the main event, one of the greatest products of Japanese Puroresu and 6 Star Match Award Winner, Spider Matsuda was placed into quite possibly his toughest match in recent memory against the team of Cody Storm & Sean McGee. It seemed at times that Matsuda was able to regain control in a tough situation but the numbers game just caught up to him. 4 1/2*

 

Quick Riot Notes

 

Bedlam scares the hell out of me

 

So do Crowe and friends

 

KD still hates Euros, and I love it.

 

Are Sean's arms getting bigger? Is that even possible? Do we need to test him for HGH?

 

Matsuda needs to hook his friend Gabe up with Minami's friends. Just saying

Trance looks to have packed on some more weight, in all the wrong places.

 

Cerberus are looking to be a very formidable force and are here to stay in the main event scene.

 

I have seen Matsuda VS Spider many times before, and I know for a fact that the next chapter in this feud is still going to be amazing

 

COMMERCIAL TIME

 

OCW Gossip

Cerberus are clearly looking to add another member. Could it be Dimsmore? Mez Murdock? Some other big name? Either way, members of Cerberus, Sean McGee and Cody Storm were spotted earlier last week at a Toys R' Us looking to purchase yet another kid's replica of the OCW International Championship belt. Rumor is that a certain frugal member of the group would not spend more on a third belt so they had to rely on other means of getting a third belt.

 

From my sources, Jookie Marley tested positive for marijuana for the 19th time. Fortunately for him, OCW does not take action until after the 101st offense. When we asked him for a comment on the rumor, all he said was "Guyyyyyyyyyyyyy". Stay tuned for more details

 

OCW Hardcore Champion was spotted earlier this week back home in the UK shopping at numerous arts & crafts stores. Is more glitter on the trunks on the agenda?

 

The Bombshell Division may get featured more in following weeks. With the wealth of female talent on the roster, I don't see why they don't get more of a chance to shine.

 

King of OCW looks like it will be spectacular. I'm particularly looking to see if the rookies like Michael Hollywood & Tobin Frost can use this stage as a platform to another level. There are some notable snubs from the tournament but I will leave that up for debate. With two mystery spots, is there a possibility for a return from an OCW Legend? Or a Dark Horse?

 

Well that is all for the first episode of Wrestling Ichiban Weekly. Next week we will return with more coverage of OCW Riot & Ambition. Looking forward to doing some coverage of all the rookies on Ambition. Arigato & Sayonara!

Awesome review, I agree with everything except you calling Cerberus main event.

 

Matsuda was Main Event...Cerberus were just there for the numbers :p

 

The closest they get to the main event 'scene' is sniffing the jock that Leon wore at wrestlution 7.

 

I hope this sticks around, and doesn't become 'Ichiban first 3 weeks never to be seean again'
