MAIN EVENT - INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSIP - NATE ORTIZ* vs. ALEKSANDER BOLEK

What a matchup this is going to turn out to be. My shit head son vs the man in which father time will never conquer. The Ace of DNS vs The GTGOAT. All those descriptions are apt, but this is really the next generation versus the first generation. 

 

This is the time for Aleksander Bolek to cast stones in the directions of all his doubters. A standout performance against Nate Ortiz who in a lot of ways in the last six months or so has proven he still has a lot left in the tank. Would seriously be a huge step in the right direction for a an who has his choices questioned a lot.  

 

Nate has little if anything to prove in this match. Nate seems to be Michael Jordan like in his ability to take any perceived slight (Thanks B17) and run with it. I don't think we are at Wizards Jordan yet with Nate if you catch where I am going here. 

 

The match early on Nate looks to establish his dominance. Nate gets a clear advantage early but Bolek and his shit heel tactics jump to the forefront evening the match. With the match being anyone's ball game in the late stages looks the questions comes down to the response of Bolek.

 

We all know Nate is going to be relaxed and on his game. Champions are made in moments like this. I believe Bolek to be key part of the future of OCW and he solidifies that even more. A career defining win against a legend is a 3 count away.

 

Prediction - ALEKSANDER BOLEK REGAINS THE INTERNATIONAL TITLE AND ADDS A SIGNATURE WIN TO HIS RESUME

 

CLAUDIO STARDOM vs. DEVON FLASH

Claudio Stardom is RyVaughn's cousin if I am remembering that correctly. RyVaughn last I checked was currently being held over something related to Mass Effect's Muscle Juice. 

 

Last year Devon Flash and Claudio Stardom had some words during the latter's feud with C-Note over the attack Mass Effect carried out against C-Note. I felt the tension at the time, but now these two finally get across the ring from one another.

 

So I have personally been waiting for this clash. These two are in much different spots than they were this time last year. With Devon just coming off a tag team title run. The Tribal Cheeks has returned and these men seem to have swapped attitudes with each other looking at this time last year. 

 

The match Flash gets out to a fast start, but the power of The Tribal Cheeks is going to quickly tilt this contest in his favor. Devon doesn't panic and his signature Getting Flashy maneuver. I expect the match to be filled with a lot of quick paced action. However in the end the power and momentum of this man is just undeniable right now. 

 

Prediction - THE ORIGINAL TRIBAL CHEEKS SPILTS HIS COMPEITION IN HALF TWO BUNS AT A TIME. 

 

 

NON TITLE - THE PIVOT* vs. COLD FRONT

The new OCW tag team champs have their work cut out for them tonight against two men looking to get an awful taste of defeat out of their mouths. Paul Harris and Anthony Martin are a great story in a lot of ways.

 

Two guys who were just thrown together and they managed to make it work. Work so well to the tune of the championship gold around their waist. They put in the work and are a highly deserving team. However getting there is just one piece of the puzzle. 

 

A non title win for Cold Front would surely put them in the same spot as Temple of Omen who demolished The Pivot a couple of weeks ago. Cold Front, with the unknown status of Mass Effect figures to me to be heavy contenders in the tag division. 

 

Samsin and Iceman either are going to start fast or just faulter out of the gate. I really see no in-between with these guys. The champs will work together better as a unit. My over/under is 3.5 completed tag team moves in the match. I really feel like we are going to get as even a match as we will see on this card in this one. So tough to call but if I have to...

Prediction -  THE PIVOT STANDS UP AND SHOWS EVERYONE THAT INDEED THE CHAMPS ARE HERE.

 

BELLE vs PERL

 

 

DAMIAN BOURNE vs. JOE DEAVER

I am not as sure what to expect here. I have not been in the ring with Damian a lot, but from what I have seen he appears to be pretty good. Deaver isn't bad he has just been inconsistent in the past. I am a fan of the Underground Elite and want to see them do more impactful stuff. 

 

Neither of these two really have the history rundown that is recent. Other than Deaver's appearance at Ambition with Gabe in the Main Event and the stuff that went on there. 

 

From a pure wrestling perspective I think Bourne has the advantage. He gets more reps than Deaver at the PC.

 

 

Prediction -  DAMIAN BOURNE LOOKS TO ESTABLSH HIS NAME AGAIN... ONE WIN AT A TIME

 

 

BELAKOR vs. THE MANTIS

Belakor the Eastern European heavy has had his moments in his first two OCW matches against Mo Jae a fellow rookie. This guy is powerful and appears to be the real deal. I think as he gets to understanding the OCW style and the work required to be good, he will excel eventually. 

 

The Mantis is a hero of the people at this point. The Mantis Kick is over with most folks and that is the good part. The bad part is Mantis can't seem to come away with victories since he has returned.

 

Bottom line one of these two is getting their first win of the season. I honestly expect Belakor to come out and drop the nerd in the superhero costume like a bad day at OCW High School. Mantis lands a couple of Mantis kicks, the crowd goes wild. In the end however...

 

Prediction -  BELAKOR COLLECTS HIS FIRST OCW VICTORY AND MAULS MANTIS SO BAD VICTOR MATT ASKED TO BE RELEASED AGAIN JUST INCASE TO BE SURE HE IS SAFE!
