Christian Garcia

Prayers for my handsome hombre gonzalo

We find ourselves on the rustic set of the Kaffee Break again, with the backdrop and setup noticeably more polished than last week’s segment. The stools between Jasmin and her guest have been removed, leaving a bit of space between the two women, and everything just looks… nicer. That being said, the nicest thing on set is clearly Regina Tacet, who sits across from Jasmin, practically beaming as she signs over to her friend. Captions translate the signs for those in the audience who aren’t familiar with Dragana’s manner of communication. Dragana: It’s so nice to see you again! Jasmin: You know, I think out of this entire division, you might actually be my only friend. Isn’t that nuts? I mean, how many girls here pretended to be my pal because they wanted to hop on my wave, and then there was just you, supporting me unconditionally. Jasmin: I owe everything I’ve done here to you, I hope you know that. Dragana looks a bit uncomfortable at the insinuation that she’s Jasmin’s *only* friend, but she plays along and nods. Jasmin, seemingly not noticing the discomfort, manages to move along. Jasmin: So, Cesar Dojo. Never trained with you formally, but I gotta give you your props. I’ve been through multiple training systems, I’m a former professional fighter. I’ve been training at the ranch back when CG used to do MMA coaching, I was in the Pine Dojo, I was in Aries’ Academy… Jasmin: What you’re doing at the Cesar Dojo is just… so radically different from every other training regimen out there right now. Just, like… take me through that thought process, take me through what made you want to run your school like this? Dragana: One of my best friends helped me at a dark time. She saved my life. I will never forget that. I don't know if I can ever repay her, but I can use what I've learned to pay it forward. Dragana takes a moment to think before proceeding. Dragana: I want to create a nurturing environment where people from all walks of life can be themselves and help each other. Our training is not just about fighting. It's my profession of course, but for anyone else, nobody should have to fight if they can help it. Through meditation, readings and self care techniques, I want all of my students to exceed their potential to help them through their journeys. Jasmin: That’s awesome, I really love that for you and your students, it seems like you’re building something really special. Dragana: I’m really trying my best. Jasmin smiles and leans over a bit to grab Dragana’s hand and reassure her. Jasmin: If it’s anything like what you’ve done for me, you’re doing great. With that, the two women hold their gazes for a few moments, before Jasmin turns to the camera with a sly grin, almost as if she’s back to her pre-Clash self. Jasmin: I’m honestly in love with this woman. Jasmin, unable to help herself, starts laughing, leaving a mildly embarrassed Dragana to cover her mouth, though it’s clear from the sounds she’s making and the shaking of her shoulders that she’s having a bit of fun with it too.

Seeing Claudio making these strides at self-improvement makes me want to be a better person too.

I wish all fat-titted whores named Ijitu a very merry go fuck yourself. Show review time! Parker said 'fine, I'll do it myself' on the SOE stuff, and good for him. Enjoyable match, a win's a win. Need to see more from Aiden before I make a judgement on him, but like what I've seen so far. Theme song fucking bangs. Game effort as always from the DAWWWWWG. Classic backstage Ry brawl between Mass Effect and Grit and Glory. No complaints here, didn't overstay it's welcome in my opinion and did what it needed to do. If your promo and beatdown are less than two minutes in total, I think you're in a good spot. Old man A-Mart joining up with the jilted old man is a glove-like fit, although KC is a bit more of a stretch. Austin writes him well though, so I'm fully bought into their little chicanery. I'm still not the biggest mark in the world for their stuff, but a well-done segment is a well-done segment. No shade here. Kudos, well done. I hate to say it like this, but BASH beating up John after the Mad Dawg match just feels like 'get me my heat back, brother'. Don't have a problem with it, it just made me laugh a bit in hindsight. Free C-Note and Flojo my guys didn't do shit, I believe in them. They gonna beat them allegations. Speaking of allegations serial tummy tickler Rust Cohle and Horse are gonna do a tussle. I've made it clear in the past I don't know if I'm the target demographic for Horse, but even if I don't always get what's going on with funny horse head man even a blind and deaf man would understand that Rust vs. Horse will be a certified banger. Claudio has had enough LOLOL, holy SHIT. Have you seen what blud does to fans? What do you think he's gonna do to you, C-Note! Watch yo profanity. ELLLLL HOMBREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Luis Bishop matches always pop me. I wish he was involved in a feud or a bigger program, he deserves it! However, the match ended with the same 'getting my heat back' thing the last one did. This is basically Bash's MO at this point, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was just something that was part of his gimmick now, but I could see why it might leave a bad taste in someone's mouth, especially when he and Luis aren't necessarily feuding. Good match, though. Shout out my beloved son Luis. Return of the Ambition rookie ass eater Johnny Tsunami. Not particularly upset by this, will probably have some good matches... would have rathered a Fraser return though. How long has Bolek been in DNS? Did I miss something? I don't like it. At this point, the gang is just getting massively bloated. I've been a huge supporter of everything they're doing, and I still am, but I fail to see what adding Bolek does for both DNS OR for Bolek. Glad my match was enjoyed. I was indeed a bit rusty but I'm glad to finally knock the last of my CG dream matches out of the park. Thanks as always to Mr. Big Chest Jake Allen for being game. Jynx promo was fine. Nothing else to say about it, really. Just more of what we expect from him, which is good. Skipping ahead a bit- holy FUCK I should not have watched that Karmine segment right now, I'm laugh-coughing my fucking lungs up. Goddammit, Mr. Big Chest got me again. Oh hey, Val is back! I hope they stick around this time, I rather like them as a person. <3 "I am a professional wrestler, you are a professional wasteman" is probably one of the hardest disses I've heard in the entire month. More ME / Grit and Glory goodness. Nothing else to say. Just good. Hijo del Harnage, damn, we shooting now. Thankfully that didn't last very long. I was worried when it started that they'd overdo it, but the little thing there didn't overstay its welcome. I would have preferred his comeback be against an actual person, but I kind of understand the thought process here. I may finish this later.

Backstage, it looks like one of the studio rooms has been converted to something resembling either a small coffee shop or a dive bar. The can of beer in Jasmin Kaffee’s hand, as she sits at said bar, makes it a bit less ambiguous what’s going on here. Sitting a stool or two apart from Jasmin, and facing her, is Marisa Welsh-Mac. Jasmin: Well, Marisa, I guess it’s my job to welcome you to the first ever episode of The Kaffee Break. Thanks for comin’ in on such short notice, I know when I sprung this on ya it was a bit of a ‘oh shoot we’re doing this next week’ kind of thing. Marisa: Well thank you for having me Jasmin. I have no problem helping a sister out. Interesting setup you have here. Jasmin: Glad you like the ‘white trash chic’, ma’am, was the new agent's idea. Anyway, I’m not much of a talk show host, and as you can tell, my voice ain’t what it used to be, but I’ve had some stuff I’ve wanted to get off my chest here for a minute in regards to you, ma’am. Marisa almost looks scandalized, and Jasmin manages to offer her a crooked smirk from behind her beer can before resuming the conversation. Jasmin: Last time you and I met, week before Wrestlution, I was in the main event that night against Ashley Moore, and what you said really stuck with me. I’m not gonna lie, it had me mad for a second. Marisa: Yeah, I remember. I’m not gonna apologize for what I said though. I believe I can carry this women’s roster on my back. I possess everything a wrestling diva aspires to be. Talent, sex appeal, charisma, strength and athleticism. I have the “it factor”. If I’m being honest, I don’t think anyone compares to me. And if it wasn’t for Deborah and Sue screwing me, I would be women’s champion right now. I really should’ve been the first woman to hold that new belt, Jas. Jasmin: And you know what? Considering I’m not here, I can kind of look at things as an outsider and I’ve gotta say, you got a damn point, I mean, come on. What has Shianne Lovelace done beside lick Empress’ feet? I love Sue, I do, wonderful person, but I just don’t see her rising above unless she stops trying to be friends with everybody. Marisa: Certainly didn’t help you any. I see all these women for who they really are. Jasmin: I’m saying! And Deborah Soto, Debora mother…Deborah Soto, Jesus, I’m gone from this division for a month and somehow she’s champion? I mean, come on, man. Me, personally, I’d want someone who actually wears Gucci or Ralph Lauren on my TV instead of somebody trying to fake it out of being broke, you know? Marisa: We saw Claude Hall back at ‘Cide, now, come on, we know what real designer looks like! Big Deborah screams Canal st. She screams DHgate. The two women laugh, almost as if their previous tense encounter had never happened. Jasmin quickly changes the subject, however, to Marisa. Jasmin: So, you told me you can carry this division on your back, but you know, you’ve got a lot on your plate right now with the ghost of Purple People Eaters past, Morgan whatsherface and Flojo, so… what’s next for Missus Mac? Marisa: You know what’s next for me. I’m going to keep grinding till I get that beautiful strap. As far as FloJo is concerned, we all know who should’ve won that bikini contest, but it’s whatever, everyone knows the deal. And Morgan, Morgana, whatever her name is, she messed with the wrong bitch. These games ain’t new to me. She doesn’t scare me. Marisa: So I’ll be more than happy to send her back to whatever psych ward she escaped from. She better leave me the hell alone if she knows what’s good for her. And that’s all the breath I’m going to waste on that poor girl. The camera fades to an advertisement, which states that the rest of ‘Kaffee Break with Marisa Welsh-Mac’ is available exclusively on OCWFed.com

I was high as a kite while this show was going and the forum ate my first post so now I'm pissed off. May add more to this later, here's my late night hazy thoughts. Sheldon- I still do not have much love for Aries being in the world title picture so soon after an utterly ridiculous twist that he pulled. However, while Aries has at least brought me around to heel heat thanks to his stellar playing up of that disconnect and using it to fuel his promos, Sheldon has improved LEAPS and BOUNDS since his time in sanctum, and it shows. He's really come into his own in many ways, from promos and writing to voicing his own character and the quality of his in-ring work. Regardless of the results, I'm happy to see that Sheldon has flourished in such a manner. I look forward to seeing more of the guy, especially if he retains. AJ Miller has won me over immediately, which doesn't surprise me. With the women's division currently the widest open it's been in quite some time, there's plenty of new names waiting to assert themselves. Perhaps a few months down the line we see AJ making a run for that big white belt. Wish Danny stuck around. Assuming from his recent absences and his way of speaking about them he really just doesn't ahve the time for OCW anymore. Nothing to be ashamed of there, but it's always a bit of a gutwrencher for me as a fan of most of the content every week when I know that these big pops are just that- a one-time pop. If Danny does prove me wrong and makes a full time return, I will be an extremely happy camper indeed. I'm curious as to who the 'patient' is now, as they seem to have cast a pretty wide net in a short time. Flojo vs. Marisa? Inject it into my fucking VEINS. Considering one of these women, IMO, should be competing for the title, and the other has the briefcase to do just that, seeing these two women lock up as I KNOW this bikini contest will end in violence, has my little jehsticles a-quivering. Gotta agree that while the Bingo-Rust build hasn't been the most scintillating thing in the world, not every match needs to have life-or-death stakes or be deeply personal to move the needle. It just needs the right characters. Recently dethroned world champion Rust has done pretty much everything you can do in OCW except, MAYBE, and I might be wrong, be International Champion. Probably has done that and I just don't know about that. Bingo is a scalp, the same as any other big 'up and coming or current star vs. grizzled vet' PPV match we might see on TV today. Says what it needs to say, does what it needs to do, and sells itself in spite of lacking the deeply personal storylines many other feuds on this show have. Matches were just all around solid, but I have to go back to AJ Miller again. Excited to see her in the main event of Ambition and see what's in store for the karate kid. #Icemandidnothingwrong

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.

The Drago Show, featuring Drago and Dragana

For fans who were wondering why one half of an OCW tag team suddenly disappeared from TV, an explanation has finally come to light. Christian Garcia, one half of Los Sicarios and former North American Champion, was last seen in the main event of Turmoil 299, where he participated in a triple threat with Lution 17 standouts John Carter and Mark Reese. Since then, there has been complete and total radio silence from the Cuban-American wrestler... until now, that is. Christian Garcia, in an interview with Whereculture's Adam Adams, revealed that he was taking time off with the blessing of the company due to undisclosed health issues, and does not have a timetable for his return. Having now set up permanent residence in Cuba, Christian Garcia states that he does have a work visa to continue appearing in OCW, but is planning on making the most of the time he's been given to rest and recuperate. Addressing reported rumors that he was seeking his release from the company, Christian refused to confirm or deny if this was the case, saying that he was 'weighing his options'. MJPW has shown interest in signing the OCW star, but as of now, Garcia is still listed as an active member of the OCW roster, and has also occasionally been seen with trainees at the Scumchester Academy.

Fuck, and I quote, these hoes.

The unfortunate news keeps on coming for OCW World Women's Champion Jasmin Kaffee, who suffered a severe laryngial fracture, tracheal tear, and bruised C1 vertebrae in the first ever OCW Women's War Games match. Despite medical advice and company encouragement, Jasmin refused full-time medical assistance, returning to the company after only two weeks of having tracheal reconstruction surgery. This rush to return to action and defend her title, unfortunately, is believed to be the cause of her most recent injury. In the aftermath of her Women's Championship match, Jasmin collapsed and began to show signs of distress, leading to medical personnel being called. According to OCW medical staff, Jasmin re-opened her tracheal tear during final stages of the match, with medical staff believing the attempted poison mist by Furiosa causing irritation in the throat that caused her to re-open her stitches. Though fans were noticeably quiet and perturbed at the state of the former fan-favorite, medical staff expect that she will make a full recovery. However, more bad news - in the wake of her repeated injuries, OCW has been forced to make a difficult decision. With her current condition, Jaysin Sensation and Jasmin's personal representative, and domestic partner, Marcus McMichaels, have stated that allowing Jasmin to continue in her state will only result in further injury, possibly debilitating. With that in mind, Jasmin Kaffee has relinquished her OCW World Women's Championship, bringing an end to her reign at only 109 days, and a single title defense. McMichaels, on behalf of Kaffee and her loved ones, has asked for privacy at this time. While a full recovery is still a ways out, medical officials have said that Jasmin's re-aggravated tracheal tear will take about two months to fully heal, though they have also stated that they will not offer a concrete timetable for Jasmin's return, as there are concerns that returning too early will only serve to re-aggravate Jasmin's injuries even further. She is expected to undergo surgery on Monday.

Watching El Parca vs. KC Barrett backstage, Christian Garcia is wearing a black and gold suit, with a Scumchester-branded wristband, a symbol of solidarity with his mentor, rival, and friend(?). He looks... tired, especially when Aries reappears. CG: What a joke. CG: I gave months of my life to that Academy. I gave my first title reign to this bullshit. You kicked me out of your fucking boys club, and for what? For you to fake the dead and- He cuts himself off with a frustrated, low hum. CG: You kick Jasmin out of your stupid little gang because she didn't know what to do, you go sell yourself out in a stupid match against stupid Spider and leave your family in the lurch, AGAIN, and for WHAT? FOR WHAT!?. CG, enraged, runs his hands through his dyed blonde locks. The camera shifts just enough to see his face. He's not enraged... he almost looks like he's in despair. CG: And now you're gonna go ahead and prey on Miguel! What's next? You gonna go dig up Valmont from his trailer park and go after the tag titles? You gonna start a new 'GOAT Academy' and try to rope in some other gullible sucker like me? CG: You gonna stop by Wrex's place and teach him how to be a proper OCW father figure to Megan? You gonna finally check in on your son after he spent six months in the pen? I was right about you, you piece of shit! CG: AND PEOPLE ACT LIKE YOU'RE THE GOAT!? PEOPLE ACT LIKE YOU'RE BETTER THAN ME!? YOU'RE NOT BETTER THAN ME, PINCHE SERPIENTE-! CG turns away from the broken screen, and looks up at the ceiling, letting out a frustrated scream. He runs his hands over his face, letting out a long, weary sigh. A deep, dawning realization hits the former North American Champion. Taking a few steps back, he sits on the costuming table that was under the TV he just demolished, and looks off at something in the distance. There is a pause, long, and uncomfortable. People, attracted to the noise, whisper furtively and mutter under their breath, but CG ignores them. A single, shaky inhale, followed by an equally unsteady exhale, as the North American Champion puts words to the feeling that has been haunting him for the past month. CG: I want to blame you for this, Stephen. But I can't. CG: I'm no closer to a title than I was before, these people still don't respect me, and now I'm... look at me, what do I even have? Luis can't stand me. Jasmin hates my guts, Wrex doesn't trust me, my best friend barely even looks like the guy I knew, and.... CG: ...you're not better than me. You're not better than me. CG throws a bit of broken glass off of the table, along with a roll of unused fabric, before placing his head in his hands. The camera fades out on the image of a devastated Garcia, contemplating nothing as he tents his hands over his mouth, trying to keep some measure of composure.

We find ourselves in a home gym, built up in a garage somewhere. It's dark-judging by the moonlight cracking through the windows, it's late at night. It's still, and quiet, the only noise being the light clicking and clanking of workout equipment, and the heavy, raspy breathing of the Women's Champion, Jasmin Kaffee. The camera doesn't find her, first, though. Instead, we're given something of a tour. viewing pictures from happier times- a younger Jasmin and her teammates at a cheer conference championship. A hospital bed, with a newborn baby in her arms. A shot from an MMA event, bloody and beaten up with two belts over her shoulders. A shot of her backstage at her first OCW event, next to one Terra Daturas. A group photo of the GOAT Academy, as it was. A photo from a movie date with Marcus. The camera shifts focus to reveal her fully- the sports bra and workout shorts she's wearing reveal notable bruises on her shins, forearms, neck, and fists. Her eyes are bloodshot and unfocused from lack of sleep. A sheen of sweat covers her entire body, and her already fair skin is far too pale to be healthy. It's not clear how long she's been in here, but it's probably been far too long. ???: Champ. A distinctly male voice stops Jasmin dead in her tracks, and her eyes suddenly regain some focus, darting across the room to see if she can find the source of the voice. Releasing her grip on the pull-up station she was using, she drops to the floor with a slight buckle in her legs, and looks around. The voice sounds like it's coming from within the garage, and Jasmin slowly walks over to the shelves where some of the pictures are kept. She opens a toolbox sitting beneath the shelf, and pulls out a combine wrench. When the voice speaks up again, it does so in Jasmin's voice. Before it was wrecked by her injury. Jasmin?: I don't know what to do, I thought-I thought maybe he'd stick around, that this'd be a family, b-but I can't have a kid! I-I don't even know how to take care of one! I'm not even-! The voice seems to be coming from one of the photographs, the one with her and her son, specifically. Her grip tightens on the wrench. Another voice, this time of a young woman, probably a teenager. This one comes from the cheerleading photo. Cheerleader?: You know she's a freak, right? I mean, look at her! Look at her face! Look at that body! How do you even live looking at that in the mirror every morning? Laughter. More teenagers. Jasmin swings her wrench seemingly without a second thought, shattering the glass picture frame. The laughter stops, but now, another voice seems to echo from another picture. MMA Opponent: When I look at Jasmin Kaffee, one word comes to mind- fragile. When she steps into the cage with me, when all the pressure's on her, she will crumble. She will fall to pieces like she has her entire life-! Another swing of the wrench silences it, but that just leaves something else to speak. El Parca?: Turns out, you aren't all that- Terra?: You are a disgusting human being... Aries?: I'm wasting my time, training this one- CG?: You have coasted by on my name for long enough- Deborah?: Fake-ass BITCH! Ashley Moore?: Trailer trash! Bill Pine?: You've shamed this dojo- Drago?: -kind of pathetic, if I honest. Dragana?: a tired, annoyed sigh. John Carter?: You ruined EVERYTHING! Seltzer?: The worst OCW Women's Champion in recent memory- Harri?: I should have finished the job! Empress?: Drop dead, you nasty bitch- Marcus McMichaels?: I think I made a mistake, choosing this. Zoe and Heather?: You do not deserve this moment- Atlas K.?: I wish you weren't my-! Atlas K.: -Mom? The lights in the garage flick on, revealing Jasmin standing amidst a mess of broken glass and picture frames, her feet notably bleeding where she's stepped on the shards. A few cuts line the backs of her hands, and the wrench lies discarded on the floor. Backlit by the house, Atlas Kaffee stands in the doorway. Atlas K: Mom? Are you okay? I heard stuff breaking- Jasmin nods, offering a weak, half-hearted smile. Despite still being relatively young, it's clear Atlas doesn't buy it. The pre-teen starts to walk toward her, trying his best to avoid the broken glass, visibly wincing when he fails... and gives his mom a hug. Jasmin seems to notice his injured feet, and quickly lifts him up to head back into the house, seemingly ignorant of the trail of blood and broken glass trailing after her footsteps. As she turns the lights off and steps back into the house, a third voice can be heard. Marcus: What happened? You're blee- Jasmin: Accident...I'm fine. The door shuts on a room full of broken photos, and the camera closes with it.

If there's spooky pervs In your wrestling fed Who you gonna call? Kassbusters! If there's weird face paint And it don't look good Who you gonna call? Kassbusters! Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo dooodoo doo-

In the aftermath of her vicious attack on Ashley Moore, Jasmin Kaffee is cornered backstage by a frazzled and heavy-breathing Stacy Clark, clearly rattled by both her encounter with Bertha Stigglitz and now, seeing the Woman's Champion in such a state. Stacy: Jasmin, I think I speak for all of the OCW fans when- Jasmin is able to speak, at least somewhat, but her voice is even raspier than usual, and she is clearly in extreme pain from her injuries. Jasmin: Fans? FANS? Jasmin: These...animals cheered... when I was... HUMILIATED! Stacy: Jasmin, please stop, you're hurting yourself- Jasmin: SHUT! UP! Stacy recoils as Jasmin practically towers over her, the women's title over her shoulder. Despite the rage on her features and the blood on her lip, Jasmin is...visibly crying. Between coughs and half-restrained sobs, she continues. Jasmin: I gave you... EVERYTHING! Jasmin: John! Ashley! Terra! Sue!- Another ferocious coughing fit, and she continues. Jasmin: Deborah! Catriona! Aries! Miguel! Felix! I put up... with ALL OF IT! B-Because... I LOVED YOU! Jasmin: And I get... my knee... SHREDDED! My larynx... CRUSHED! My heart... BROKEN! Jasmin: A-and all you... can do... is ask... me... 'why'? ... All you... want... is this STUPID BELT! Jasmin: M-my b-boyfriend needs ME... my son... needs ME. You all... can go FU- Jasmin's near-uncharacteristic burst of profanity is cut off by her entering another hysteric coughing fit, tears dropping from her eyes and a noticeable stream of blood slowly falling onto the concrete at her feet, and onto the toes of her boots. Stacy, perhaps the only person to show the women's champion kindness today, tries to help her, but is forcefully shoved aside by an agonized Jasmin, who falls to her knees as her coughing fit gets worse. Stacy: Somebody help! Can we get medics here, she can't breathe! Jasmin fully crumples to the floor, holding her stomach as the horrendous coughing only gets worse. Another pair of feet rush to the scene, and a familiar voice takes over. CG: Stacy, call 911, I got the medics coming with an oxygen inhaler and some sedatives. Stacy, despite her many, MANY issues with CG, does not hesitate to pull out her phone and start dialing emergency services, leaving the camera to focus on CG as he attempts to tend to his former protege, an intense sadness on the former North American champion's face as he does the best he can... Jasmin is able to wrench her head just enough to look at her mentor, and snarl out three more agonized words. Jasmin: I HATE YOU!

In a night that his been deeply troubling for OCW in the wake of Claudio Stardom's heinous assault on a fan in attendance, as well as concerns about the health and fitness of OCW talent such as Jasmin Kaffee, Marcus McMichaels, El Parca, and more, ANOTHER incident apparently occurred at Turmoil 298! Reports say that off-camera, OCW Superstar Tacitus MacGregor was involved in a heated conversation with a fan who somehow was able to make their way into the talent area. The fan, who Tacitus has asked remain nameless out of respect for the subject matter discussed, confronted Tacitus about his recent comments over the past two weeks regarding fellow OCW talent Megan Morgandaal, who scored her first OCW victory in a flash comeback win over Furiosa. The fan reportedly threw a punch which hit the former World Championship contender in the jaw, and attempted to punch him again after a heated argument that eyewitnesses on the OCW Roster report involved 'her having the right to know' and 'the potential to ruin her life'. Tacitus shoved the man to the ground, and while his coworkers claim the act was one of self-defense, OCW is taking a hardline stance on Public Relations after the Claudio incident tonight. Tacitus was fined $500 USD for the altercation, while the fan, who has yet to respond to Whereculture's request for comment, was banned from attending OCW shows in perpetuity, pending appeal. Backstage hearsay is that the only reason an appeal is even being considered is due to the fan being a relative of active roster talent. We'll have more news on this story, as it develops.

WRESTLER NAME: Tacitus HOMETOWN: Passage West, Cork County, Ireland HEIGHT: 6'6" WEIGHT: 277 pounds THEME SONG: "Sleep in the Fire" by 10 Years SIGNATURE MOVES(S) Superkick, Spinning Chokeslam / Uranage FINISHERS(S) "The Grand Leveler" / Sit-Out Crucifix Powerbomb NOTABLE FUEDS: Chris Greene, Joe Deaver, Maxx Storage ACCOLADES: 1x European Rugby Champions Cup Winner (as part of Munster), 1x Paul Barrière Trophy Winner (as part of the Irish National Team), World Rugby Men's 15s Player of the Year of 2020 (as part of Munster) Biography: Tacitus Wilhelm MacGregor, surprisingly, is part of a long wrestling lineage. The MacGregor family stretches back four generations, though as far as OCW is concerned, Tacitus is the first of his kind. His great-great Grandfather, "Strangler" Lloyd MacGregor, was one of the premier catch-as-catch-can wrestlers in Ireland during his era, and his son, Thomas, would earn some fame in the sixties and seventies as Thomas Kenn. Tacitus' father, and Thomas' youngest son, Colm, would wrestle as Jared MacGregor from 1990 to 2022, a career spanning nearly forty years, from the age of 19 up until his passing at age of 51 from an aggressive form of pancreatic cancer. Many of Tacitus' aunts, uncles, and cousins are part of the business... But an equal number of them are in other sports. Tacitus was born the second child of Colm in 1994, after his sister, Chastity. A big boy from an early age, he took to sport like water, mostly trying his hand at more physical pursuits such as track and field and rugby. He would even qualify in Shot Put in his final years of primary, with many coaches considering him a potential Olympian prospect. That being said, Rugby was always his first love, and it was the sport her pursued with the most passion. This pursuit would pay dividends. Playing the lock for most of his rugby career from an early age, Tacitus would grow north of six foot before turning eighteen, and topped out at 6'6", making him an imposing presence in the second row, though not due to mere bulk. While no small man, Tacitus is leaner than most rugby players, even given his position in the secondary, but what made him such an intimidating player was his speed and precision. Few men in the Isles could match him in a footrace, and most who could weren't big enough to stop him from making positive gains in a crash ball scenario. Combined with his elite catching ability and uncanny sense of what his captain needed from him, Tacitus would quickly become an overnight sensation upon entering the professionals. Tacitus' professional career was a short, but quite eventful one, as part of the elite 2019 Munster squad that would forge a blazing trail to the Champion's Cup, where he earned no insignificant praise for his ball handling and game sense. Hailed as a prodigy of the sport in the same vein as his uncle, fellow Munster giant Garrison MacGregor, he would earn the nickname 'Gazza Junior' in tribute to the man. It was his pedigree, and outstanding performance, which would see him brought to the Irish National squad, one of the the youngest men on the team at only 27. The Irish squad would hard-nose their way to the Rugby League World Cup, and a nail-biting win over the insurgent underdog Fiji squad. Tacitus would be one of the men holding the Paul Barrière Trophy high that day, but it would also be the last accolade he earned in Rugby... for reasons unknown, he would reveal in an interview with Whereculture Sports that he would be leaving Rugby behind, citing concussion concerns and nagging injuries, along with a desire to be closer to his family. Tacitus would train as a professional wrestler in an effort to achieve that closeness, training under one of the most well known wrestlers in the world who never worked an OCW match- Kyle 'Flying' Ferrar, a veteran of the Canadian and British independent scenes, and a man who had worked with Jared MacGregor (the elder) extensively. After rigorous training and a very short run on the independent scene, Tacitus was scouted by OCW at a show in Glasgow, and would be signed in the aftermath of Wrestlution 16. Debuting as Jared MacGregor Junior, Tacitus would make a point of insulting the legends and established names of OCW, as he believed his father had deserved to perform on such a large stage, due to missing out on much of his children's lives in pursuit of that dream of OCW glory. He would defeat Jacob Trance in his debut, and go on to face the newly Kasstian-christened Chris Greene at Ambition: Halloween Hell 2022. Despite his chilly reception from the OCW fans in his debut, he was actually considered something of an underdog in that match, and would win both that match, and the followup on the next week's Riot against Chris Greene and his former tag partner, Joe Deaver, before losing to Deaver in his first televised defeat at the next Ambition taping. Jared would be approached after the match by Elliot Parker, who referred to him as his 'Harbinger', and the two would have a short-lived alliance against Maxx Storage, resulting in two matches, the first a decisive, if controversial win for the 'Scions of Empancipation', the second a surprise match alongside Family member Benjamin 'C-Note' Franklin due to a short-notice injury to Elliot Parker in the previous match, which the duo lost. Around this time, Colm MacGregor passed away due to complications from cancer treatment, and after taking a short time to mourn, Tacitus would return under his birth name and defeat Luis Bishop in a one-sided affair on Turmoil 295, before leaving TV again for a short time. He would return with dyed streaks in his hair and with Nate Ortiz as his manager, and the GTGOAT would reveal himself as the latest of Tacitus' teachers. Most recently, Tacitus was given an opportunity to compete in a Fatal-Five-Way Number One Contender's match for Rust Cohle's OCW title match. He would be the last man pinned in the match, after eliminating Atsushi 'Kingu' Hada, by the winner, Sheldon Tremblay. BONUS INFORMATION Tacitus was originally brought in with the gimmick of 'The Force of Nature', an extreme sports and nature enthusiast turned wrestler, reflecting his real life hobbies. After complaints from house show audiences that this gimmick was too reminiscent of that of Terra Daturas, he would be withheld from TV and repackaged over the next month. Tacitus has stated that he considered a career as a mountain or forest guide instead of professional wrestling. Tacitus is the first member of the MacGregor wrestling family to appear on OCW television, and also the first to wrestle in the United States, with most of the family wrestling in Japan, Mexico, Canada, and the British Isles. Tacitus is currently the only OCW wrestler to have climbed Kilimanjaro AND K2 unassisted. He has stated that Mount Everest is next, but is waiting until after he retires from wrestling to perform the climb.

In an update from our previous article, Whereculture News is happy to report that OCW Women's Champion Jasmin Kaffee regained consciousness this morning. Despite the severity of her injuries, medical staff report that Kaffee was both lucid and responsive when she awakened this afternoon, and prognosis is hopeful that she will make a full recovery, in time. No new information has been reported regarding her injuries, which include a complete larynx fracture, a tracheal hemispheric tear, and possible trauma to the C1 vertebra. Fears of paralysis were, thankfully, unfounded, as Kaffee was able to walk from her bed to examinations repeatedly under her own power. The required surgeries were executed with no complications, and medical staff have confirmed that she will be released into outpatient care as early as tonight, but state that in the best-case scenario, a full recovery is still six to eight months out. Neither Miss Kaffee nor her personal agent could be reached for comment. Family and friends have asked for respect and privacy in this trying time. We here at Whereculture Wrestling continue to wish the best for the Pro Wrestling Powerhouse in the road to recovery ahead.

Following up on the historic Women's War Games match at this year's OCW Road 2 Glory, we here at the Seltzer Report have some deeply concerning news. OCW Women's Champion Jasmin Kaffee has suffered what appears to be a severe, perhaps even career-ending injury in the aftermath of the match. After an over-the-top rope senton from Harri Etiquette onto a chair the disgruntled former Women's Champion placed on the current champion's neck, ringside testimony from OCW official Meagan "Meg" Robinson indicates that there was a loud crack that was audible from the front row of the building, and fan reactions indicate that it was very clear something had gone wrong. Ringside medical personnel immediately evacuated Kaffee from the premises and escorted her to a local medical facility. Injury reports from backstage indicate that Kaffee is suffering from a completely fractured larynx, a tracheal tear, and severe internal hemorrhaging. While she is currently undergoing treatment, official prognosis is grim, and it is very likely the OCW Women's Championship may be vacated in the leadup to Wrestlution. Medical officials are unwilling to confirm if she will even be able to wrestle again, as there are fears that there may be an undiagnosed spinal fracture among the litany of injuries. As far as we have been informed by medical staff, Kaffee has not regained consciousness. Regardless of the status of the Women's Championship, we here at the Seltzer Report wish Jasmin Kaffee a swift and complete recovery.

Thank god Nate isn't involved in this clown show

The following segment is an OCWFed.com backstage exclusive, and was not aired on RIOT 602. Christian Garcia is elated headed into the Scumchester locker room before his big match with Colby MacCallum. Emblazoned on his shirt, the image of the Living Legend, Larry Mugen and the words ‘Have You Seen My GOAT?’. In his hands, two full cases of JD. Unfortunately, it seems the Scumchester stable isn’t too happy to see him. CG: Ayyyyyy! Why the long faces, everybody, Big Daddy G brought the libations! Our future CCW Champ deserves celebration, after all! Samsin, dressed in all black, steps aside, standing just inside the doorway as CG enters the locker room and proceeds to nod in his direction.. Samsin: ..and look who it is, Coach.. Megan: No “G-Man” this time? Wrex: You shut the fuck up and look at me. Wrex storms towards CG, who takes a single step back in response. Wrex: Not only do you take food out of Bishop’s mouth, you bring that motherfucker in to do it, don’t even tell me and expect it to just blow over? CG: Big man, this is all a big misunderstanding. Luis throws a couple of glances towards Garca, never making direct eye contact. Instead, opting for a staring contest with the floor. Wrex: If this blows up in our face again, It’s coming out of your ass, am I fucking clear? Samsin: You need to listen to the, boss. We've all talked an- CG: ENOUGH! You would think after what we’ve been through together, I would earn some respect, familia, but CLEARLY I was mistaken! No, you listen to me, Wrex. CG: Luis Bishop? There is nothing I can teach him. He can stand on his own two feet, he does not need me dragging him down. He could be where Antonio Everett or El Parca is right now. Why waste his time in the tag division? CG: And Samsin? Boy, you have enough problems with Deaver, and you couldn’t pay me enough to beat his ass for you. No. You settle your business with him, maybe you and I can talk, but until then, you have to prove to me, to Luis, to Megan, and most importantly, to Wrex, that you can handle your own affairs before you get involved in mine. CG: Megan, carina, you have better things to do than catch whatever disease that skank is carrying. You haven’t even had a match yet this season. CG: And you, Wrex? You’re about to embark on a historic run. No man will be able to claim the things you have achieved for a long time. Why do you need to worry about what Gonzalo and I do? I’m bringing gold and prestige to this Academy, just like I did for Aries, rest in piss. CG: But unlike Stephen, you respect me. You give me the accolades, the attention I deserve. And I want to reward that trust with something tangible. The Tag Team Championships. You have problems with Gonzalo, I get it. He’s not one of us, and unless you say so, he never will be. CG: But those titles will be ours. And so long as one of those belts is around my shoulders, it will belong to all of us, too. Remember that before you judge me too harshly. After hearing enough, Luis Bishop finally gets up and heads towards Garcia, never breaking his gaze with the floor. In a soft voice, Bishop lets out, Bishop: The least you could’ve done was ask… With that, Bishop walks past Garcia and exits the Scumchester locker room. Several members raise a hand to reach out to Luis, but to no avail. In response, CG puts down the two cases of liquor, and lets out a frustrated huff. CG: I gotta go clean up your leftovers, if you don’t mind. Wrex continues to glare, before eventually relenting and grabbing one of the bottles. Wrex: Don’t fuck this up, keep your word and I’ll consider it, go and bag me a fucking gorilla. Megan: And at least talk to Luis afterwards.

It's like DDE, but with more sexy hispanics and less masks. I really enjoy everything the rest of Team TerraMiSueSmin and TOG are doing, and I think they all deserve just as much credit for making this work. Bunch of studs. I'm liking Supervillain Tony a lot as well.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer gal.

Roses are Red I have a terrible pun What's your finish kid? I'm kicking out at one.

It wasn't just me!
