The OCW Vault

[Smythe D. Wonder]

Leave it to Nate to leave out the most awesome parts of the lead up to the greatest match in OCW history ;)...

 

As the story serves... After Nicks loss to Nate at Lution he went on a tear not losing a single match while competing every week tearing through the entire roster one man at a time... the epic fail of everyone in the Sensational Alliance except RD Money who beat 3 other men to retain his title spelled the end of the SWO as we knew it... Majin went Crazy, RD Money went Hollywood and Smythe clung to Kage as his student of the game... Smythe lost the Future Investment match to Leon, starting his meteoric rise to the top, but he took matters into his own hands and became the first number one contender for Guy Fausto's OCW championship taking OCW by surprise.

 

With Kage taking the SWO's favourite henchman under his wing (Smythe spent the last few months helping Majin make Fausto's life a living hell) Kage went on to torment Nate week after week. Including a victory over the Franchise at the clash setting the stage for the greatest match of all time.

 

With Kage crushing everyone who got into the ring with him Nate needed a great night to help propel him into the Damnation match. que the Smythe and Nate no DQ match. Smythe vows to Kage earlier in the night that Nate wouldn't be 100% for the Damnation match and throws everything at him. When Nate seems to get the upper hand que Kage with a massive powerbomb to give Smythe much needed momentum going into his championship match with Fausto at the same Damnation PPV. But Nate kicks out of the powerbomb. Smythe who is on a hot streak of his own since Lution dashes in with a quick SDW, nate kicks out of that and then another SDW before he goes into a rage and Kage slowly backs away as Nate lays destruction to a now fearful Smythe Dawonder suggesting that while Kage is on a tear and looks unbeatable... is it possible to put Nate Ortiz away???

 

Going into this match the hype is absolutely real... it's actually one match to kill off a character and everyone is thinking of what to do incase each guy loses... What makes it interesting is that all the angles were already covered... if Nate loses passive agressive Guy Fausto is his obvious replacement as he already holds the OCW championship and him becoming OCW's top face would be an easy step up. but CCW's champion "sage" Versus is also an easy candidate to take the reins with a made for TV rise under his belt as well. If Kage loses in steps Smythe Dawonder who was currently the number one contender for the OCW championship and has been bouncing around the ME storyline as a Alpha-heel in training for the past few months.

 

Then comes Damnation.

 

Smythe one PPV after losing the bout to steal Leonhearts Future Investment clause manages to steal the OCW title from Guy Fausto in what would go down as one of the most controversial title wins and reigns in OCW history. With this happening earlier in the night it meant alot of things. first that Nate vs Kage was bigger than the OCW title, the CCW title and everything in between. The entire company was fixated on this one match. and it did not disappoint at all.

 

the amount of reversing and deep play in this match was incredible (remember there was two reversal buttons at the time). this match looked like it was the best two going at it right from the start. and the run-ins from Fausto and Smythe were also very telling. Smythe despite winning the OCW championship ran down to the ring and interrupted the most important match in OCW history to save his mentor. which basically propelled Smythe into the actual Main Event spotlight. And Fausto defending Nate showed his actual bid for friendship in not being a jerk and letting Nate lose despite being cheated out of his title moments earlier.

 

Then there was Versus. Who ran down to the ring to presumably save Nate from defeat and instead dime bag drops him as well as Kage for the surprise shocker of a heel turn of the night... so much happening and so much storyline included in one match.

 

Also the part of Smythe and Fausto doing the job after their run ins and putting over Nate and Kage as the top two in the business looked right as well. By both of them being tossed out of the ring and out of the action it put the focus back on them as a 1 on 1 battle... finisher kickouts, cell breakthroughs, run ins, heel turns... this match virtually had everything and the ending was sheer beauty...

 

I'll touch on it more with my Hall of Fame speech of course... you bastards had better let me in!!!

[Chris Mania]

I stopped reading after I realised your name was mentioned waaaay too many times.

 

And if you're going into the Hall of Fame, I want out... S-Jobber.

[Parker]

Leave it to Smythe to turn the Nate vs Kage feud into the 'Look what Smythe did for them' thread..ahahahahahaha.

 

And god dammit Smythe..you were NEVER legitemately recognized as the OCW champion!

 

You're probably the 2nd guy who will go in the HOF without ever winning the big one, maybe 3rd..actually 4th [Mania, The Steve and MMM]...along with you being the 2nd longest reigning Tag champion, and 2nd longest NA champion....shows that hard work and good content can get you there.

Leave it to Nate to leave out the most awesome parts of the lead up to the greatest match in OCW history ;)...

 

 

 

 

You've never beaten The Steve.

Also shows you will always be 2nd best..haha

 

Smythe is the longest International/North American Champ... just with less defenses and it wasn't major like my reign was, but yeah "technically" he's the guy with the longer "reign"

 

But yeah definitely 4th or so of those in the HoF who haven't won the OCW Title. Off the top of my head so far ya got Mikey, The Steve and Myself.

[Smythe D. Wonder]

That is a grand lesson in over whoring!!!! I loved that feud tho... so much happened and the story played out so well going into the future and building from the past... it was as perfect a storyline as possible at that time...

 

Spoon is right I was the longest serving NA champion with the 2nd best reign... Spoonman's NA title run was amazing and it would have been an amazing Championship run if he didn't have to take a break... I was so looking forward to Spoon and AJ Phoenix for the title...

 

I think Smythe/Poe Smythe/Malu then Smythe/Wesley was the best tag title run in OCW as well... that division had multiple teams vying for the title... tag tourneys surprise defences and monthly ones... of course Smythe and Malu as a team was totally unfair but it was the basically the heart and soul of the Bloodline... the fact that we held them for so long

 

But I think Smythe going into the Hall of fame will be more about his storys and all he's done other than the title reigns... Screwing his nemesis at the time (DJ CHino) out of the NA title to join Leon. Then screwing Leon to join the SWO. being in the best built up FI clause match in history. Being in the top faction of Lution 3 (SWO) and Lution 4 (Bloodine). Creating one of OCW's most staple factions... maybe top 3... Helping Sensation win the OCW title... Putting over top guys... losing the big one... first guy to Main Event Lution twice and the only guy to do it legit... and more that I don't remember right now...

 

just so you guys know if I get a speech it will be a novel!!! and a good novel

 

and Parker... I was officailly OCW championg for 4 days... then Vimes stripped me... in my speech I'll tell all the behind the scenes parts of that awesome work

[Bloom]

Guys Speech would still be longer. Followed by Majins!
