NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP - JYNX vs. C-NOTE*

C-Note won the North American championship from Telos early in season 19. He has had some impressive defenses against the likes of BASH and Claude Hall. The Mad Hatter Jynx might be his toughest test yet. 

 

We have a seen a bit of a departure from the heel C-Note has been to saving Biger Lunny from DNS and giving the assist to Bingo in getting the leg on BASH in their current feud. Jynx has played a lot of mind games with C-Note. 

 

I am not sure the crowd buys into C-Note new found attitude change. However I don't think it matters either way because I have the my man Jynx coming out on top in this one. I don't pick against DNS and I sure won't here. 

 

Prediction -  WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION AND HE'S FROM DNS

 

TAG TEAM TURMOIL - NATE ORTIZ & LARRY MUGEN* vs. THE LOBBY

This match might be the one I am looking forward to most. I have really enjoyed the build and the tension between the different parties due to their shared history. I might be the biggest active Paul Pugh fan at the moment as long as I am not standing across the ring from him. 

 

Larry has enjoyed quite the resurgence so I last spoke to him in a coffee shop in Europe during his sabbatical. He is the true heel of this group and I could see him cheating his teams way to victory at some point in this match. The most interesting part of this is getting to see Nate and Pugh across from each other. 

 

There is a clear hatred between the two as evidenced by the way Pugh told Rust to be weary of Nate and his intentions. No word on if Nate got fined for hitting Greg but we move. Rust VP shows up when it matters most and I think he takes it home against Mugen getting revenge for his International Title being stolen a few weeks ago by Mugen amongst the chaos of this feud.  

 

Prediction -  THE LOBBY FILLIBUSTERS THEIR WAY TO A DECISIVE VICTORY IN THIS WAR OF ATTRITION

HOLLY HUNTER vs. DRAGANA CESAR

This Dragana full time return to the ring has been on to a great start. She has looked excellent on her TV matches. Dragana for my money has been one of if not the best baby face in the Women's division despite her not always being super active. 

 

Holly Hunter for me a bit more of an unknown. I know she won the Rumble Grounds match which was an interesting way for her get back in to the flow of things. These two have a history and the mental warfare Holly has placed on Dragana seems to be effective to a point. Dragana is a Cesar however....

 

A Cesar hasn't lost a match since I have been here. So with that logic I would be a fool to not pick Quiet Mami. I hate to say it but I see this contest being super one sided. I think Holly bit off a lot more than she could chew just returning. If you are going to take aim at the silent queen, then you best not miss your shot. Because she will clear you out in the end. 

Prediction -  DRAGANA TALLIES ONE FOR GOOD GUYS, GALS, AND NON BINARY PALS

 

JORDAN TRANCE vs. THE LAST BLACKSMITH

The Horse has returned from his hibernation over the winter, spring, and part of the summer months. I know that isn't how hibernation works, but horses aren't supposed to hibernate. Well he is catching arguably one of OCW's hottest rising superstars in Jordan Trance. Trance's change in tactics landed him a huge win against former tag team partner John Carter at Wreslution 18. 

 

Horse however isn't someone to be TTTrifled with. Despite the fact we see some legends more than him at times. Horse is one of the best we have in OCW once he laces up the boots and gets in the squared circle. This should be a gigantic test for Jordan Trance against one of the leaders in the business today. 

 

Being honest here I think Horse might be a bit Rusty after we saw what happened in his tag team match with John Carter. I expect Jordy T to hit Horse early and often. Use his speed to his advantage along with his innovative offensive style. Horse went on a PPV/PLE streak that super impressive last season, I just don't see it continuing. Trance gets a career defining win.  

Prediction -  Jordan Trance cracks the pasta and puts deez nutz on Horses chin. 

 

PERL vs. VALKYRIE

 

 

TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP - THE PIVOT vs. MASS EFFECT*

The Pivot had quite the interesting start. A team really thrown together at the start of season 19 in order to face DNS. They managed to steal a victory from faction and found their footing as a team. They are an awkward collection of two very different guys. Not to mention the shared history A-Mart has with Mass Effect during their GSS days. 

 

Mass Effect has been really good heel champions outside of the fact the two are clearly on PED's. They banished G&G after a year long feud that saw these two men collect their first championships together. The Pivot has given them some issues collecting singles victories from them making this challenge a reality. 

 

In the ring I think Paul hangs quite well with these guys but the wild card is going to be which A-Mart we get at Summercide. If he puts on a performance like his first RyVaughn match these guys will be coming home from Barcelona draped in gold. We get the one from second match and Mass Effect continues to be the Gold Standard of the tag team division. The latter is more likely than the former so that is where I go. 

Prediction -  MASS EFFECT BRINGS THE JUICE AND MUSCLES THEIR WAY TO VICTORY

 

OCW CHAMPIONSHIP - MARK REESE vs. EL PARCA*

Let me start by saying I really enjoy both of these characters. Personally got to work with Reese a bit and that was a ton of fun. I have always admired the work put into the El Parca character and his recognition that his baby face run wasn't hitting the way it needed to.

 

That brings back El Primero, El Campeon if you will. The grudge between these two goes back a couple of years to when El Parca betrayed his friend Reese during their tag title run. The on again and off again friendship is coming to a head at Summercide. Reese forced the issue on his little buddy early after Parca defeated Maxx Edwards to end their trilogy.

 

I have had such a hard time picking this match. If you go with your heart it is easy to pull for Reese. I have a lot of respect for the El Parca character and the way it has been handled as well. In the end I think we are denied a happy ending once again. Reese will need to go back to the drawing board as the reign of El Parca continues over OCW. 

Prediction -  MY PRIMERO AND YOURS EL PAAAAARRRRRRRRRCCCCCAAAAAAAA

 

 

OCW WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMIPONSHIP - SHIANNE LOVELACE vs. DEBORAH SOTO*

This matchup has been brewing for quite some time. Going back to Deborah being in the House of Faith and the triple threat match that occurred prior to Season 19. Shianne downed Valkyrie in a recent main event doing some in what I would consider dominating fashion. I have loved the build because it has been built on mutual respect. 

 

The change Deborah has gone through from getting her way to Summercide last year it truly has been a magical run. Being honest and for selfish reasons I don't want to see it end because it is really the end of Jake for the time being in that respect. 

 

Regarding the match I think Shianne has been known to shrink in these championship type matches before. If she wins I think there is a natural feud set up with EMP for the title based off of what has already transpired. If Deborah wins I am not sure where she goes being the champion for over a year. In the ring I think Deborah's size and cunning is too much for the shorty of the pawnch to handle. I expect a close contest but in the end Deborah retains as she always does. 

Prediction -  DEBORAH THE GRAMAZON SOTO

 

 

CCW CHAMPIONSHIP - BASH vs. B17*
