Former OCW Champion signs provisional contract with company.

[Christian Garcia]

Whereculture recently reported that OCW Superstar Christian Garcia's contract status was, as yet, unknown. Well, parties involved revealed to us after Riot 608 that indeed, his contract status has changed vis-a-vis his appearance on the show. The former North American Champion and one time tag title contender is, according to OCW management representatives, on a 'provisional contract' that was drawn up with the advisement of both Christian Garcia and the COO of the company. While the specifics of pay rate and work rate were not disclosed, what is known is that the contract is startlingly short by OCW standards.

 

Stated to be a 'provisional' contract, Christian Garcia has signed exclusively with OCWFed solely until May 1st 2024. OCW Management and the Cuban-American wrestler have both expressed that this was a mutually agreed upon provision, and that Garcia himself was the one who asked for the provisional status of the contract. The contract is the first redrawn contract to feature the new 'decency' bylaws being enforced by OCW regarding a move to a slightly less vulgar product, and acknowledgements of the newly enforced penalties for assaulting OCW officials. Garcia is reportedly 'unbothered' by the strict terms of the contract.

 

In a follow-up interview with Whereculture, CG was asked as to why he proposed the provisional contract. To quote the former champion, he said:

 

"In all honesty, my OCW career has not really been all that successful. I was the North American Champion, sure, but all my career I've always been a stooge to somebody else, be that El Parca, Aries, or whoever it was i despised most at the time. This is closer to the contracts rookies get. I told the front office guys that I wanted as close to a 'fresh start' in OCW as I could get, and that's where we got the contract ironed out. There's no bad blood between me and any of the members of management that I know of, and if I'm not re-signed at the end of the contract, no hard feelings."

 

With the recent and sudden departure of Claude Hall from the promotion in a storm of controversy, many assumed that Christian Garcia would be following suit, with many dirt sheets reporting that the two might have even been penciled in for a match at MJPW Wrassle Cassle, with both men heavily 'fantasy booked' as world championship contenders in the company in the vein of former MJPW Heavyweight Champion turned OCW prospect Atsushi Hada. While we couldn't reach Claude Hall for comment, CG has said that while anything is possible, OCW is 'special to him', and he feels a certain amount of loyalty to the company that means more to him than just money.
