MAIN EVENT - SECRET WARZ 5150

 

ODD COUPLE FIGHT - PAUL PUGH vs. ANTHONY BAKER

Paul Pugh and Anthony Baker couldn't be any different outside of the ring and inside the ring they have very different styles. Baker has been on a redemption tour of sorts since being brought back into the fold by Quartz.

 

With Quartz bum knee and Karen like energy around the CCW title. Having a young and energetic side piece would be exactly what a good Karen would do. Anthony Baker fills that snarky heel role quite well. We haven't seen much inside the ring from him yet, but impact outside of so far is undeniable. 

 

Paul Pugh the old war horse if you will is fresh off beating another veteran of the business in Jackson Montgomery. Pugh's impact cannot be denied. He has an interesting feud brewing with EMP and what comes of that I surely want to know.

 

This match has the potential to go sideways but I think Baker puts up a decent fight here. He makes Pugh sweat a little bit throughout until he kicks it into high gear the second half of the match. Can't discount EMP's potential involvement in some way shape or form.

 

 Prediction -  PAUL PUGH TALLYS ONE FOR BALD MEN EVERYWHERE

 

 

NON TITLE - JYNX* vs. GONZALO MUNOZ 

Gonzalo Munoz fresh off of being screwed out of a spot in the Future Investment match a couple of weeks ago. He faces off with our North American Champion Jynx. Gonzalo recently made quick work of Ricky Colon on Riot 637.

 

Gonzalo is facing a man who is being targeted by the French Blade Rust Cohle. Jynx has played mind games with the OCW stalwart to this point. However Rust can be vindictive if pushed to it. Just ask little baby man about that one.

 

This matchup intrigues me because I feel like Jynx is the brawler type that wants things to go fast. While Gonzalo is the type that will finesse his way through a match with style. If styles make fights I believe this one leads to fireworks. This is my early favorite for MOTN.

 

The match itself should be a really good back and forth contest. I think Jynx hops out to an early lead, but Gonzalo is able to bridge and even overcome that gap in the later stages of the match. There will be a moment near the end of this match or after where Rust Cohle makes himself known to our North American Champion. 

Prediction -  THE MOST HANDSOME MAN IN ALL OF OCW

 

THE RETURN - LOTUS FLOJO vs HARPER LEROUX

Harper looked really good in her return match against Kira. While Flojo has been doing her thing here as of late getting into with Beatrixx. This is not the first time we have seen these two mix it up. They were involved in a triple threat match last year with each other.

 

So there is no shortage of familiarity between these two foes. Flojo's attitude shift as of late has me questioning where her head is actually at. Harper I will need to see more but haven't gotten any evil vibes from her. 

 

This match should be the closest of the evening. I feel like these two will put on a very nice match. With Harper capping off her back to back weeks of technical clinics. 

Prediction -  HARPER WINS AND FLOJO GETS ANGRY AS FU%(5 ABOUT IT

 

 

ROOKIE CHALLENGE - RICKY COLON vs. MO JAE

 

 

BEEF! NOT MEAT - EL GRAN MISTICO w/DAMIAN BOURNE vs. JOHN CARTER w/JACKSON MONTGOMERY

Mistico and Bourne reunited and we will see how it turns out. Where there attention has turned to early is Executive Order. These guys have gotten a few over on the Executive Order.

 

John Carter on top of all of this has a match at Certified Greatness where he could become the Future Investment winner for a second time. You have to wonder how much this beef has taken John's focus away from the FI. 

 

The match will go the way of John Carter most of the way. As you saw in his match against Satorou Sakamoto, Mistico is no slouch inside the squared circle. The reality is he just is not operating on the level that John Carter is right now. I could see outside interference from the men accompanying these two playing a factor, but in the end I still see it the same way.

 

Prediction -  ITALY'S LEAST FAVORITE EXPORT HEADS TO FI WITH MOMENTUM
