Tiberius Dupree

GRAPS online magazine recently sat down with OCW General Manager, Tiberius Octavian Dupree for an extensive interview prior to OCW’s 21st Anniversary Show. This interview was conducted by Mario Jeem, which took place in NYC’s The Odeon restaurant on December 17th 2025. Mario: Good Afternoon Tiberius! Dupree: Salutations Mario. Mario: Let’s not waste any time and get right into it. What is your opinion on the last year of OCW as we approach its 21st anniversary? Dupree: Insane, to put it lightly. From a general manager’s perspective there are constantly fires seen and unseen that need to be extinguished, which can be quite exhausting at times. Dupree: While from a fan’s perspective, this season has been a satisfying car crash every week. I think it has been a great year with plenty of ups and downs that kept things entertaining A posh waiter greets them, taking drink orders and leaving a leather bound menu for each. Mario: Season 20 is not without its controversies, some inside and outside the ring. Let’s start with Kumiko Sensation, better known as EMP. What are your thoughts on her becoming the first woman CCW World Champion and main eventing Wrestlution? Mario: Rumors were not everyone was happy, some called it classic nepotism, others were just flat disgusted by the idea of a woman holding the CCW championship. Your thoughts? Dupree: Well people often forget my long history with Kumiko. I was the one who gave her the keys to the ship as interim General Manager during my sabbatical. Dupree: I was the one who put her in the direct orbit of the Sensational family. I set her tyrannical rampage in motion years ago. But I’ll tell you what I didn’t do... Dupree: I didn’t bring an entire women’s division to a level unheard of in any multiverse. I didn’t end the 408 day reign of OCW legend B-17 in spectacular fashion and cement a legacy that will outlive us both. Dupree: It doesn’t matter if she’s a woman, or a goddamn purple people eater from Pluto. EMP is a once in a generation talent…and a phreaking criminal, just like the legends before her. If you hate what she’s achieved that says more about your ego, than it does hers. Mario: Speaking of Sensations, what is your relationship with Mr. Sensation after recent events. Mainly what happened on Riot 648 and prior, involving a Steam Deck? The elegant waiter returns to take the food order and place glasses of water. Dupree: I’m not hungry! Tibby shoves the menu at the waiter like a toddler throwing a tater tot tantrum. Mario, sensing the tension, also declines to order and focuses on the interview. Dupree: Our relationship is fine! Mario: I wouldn’t consider putting your boss in a match against Wrex as fine. Dupree glares are Mario both with sadness and unbridled fury. Dupree: Old Country Way. Mario: You keep saying that, what is the Old Country Way? Dupree: It means many things Mario, but to put it simply...do it for OCW. There is no one and I mean no one who embodies that more than Sensation and I. Dupree: Look I’m beyond pissed he broke my deck…BEYOND PISSED!! But I’m sure this is exactly how he felt when I booked his son in law against both Kassidy and Dragana against his wishes. All is fair in love and war. Mario: Yes but explain to me how you can even put him in a match against Wrex?! Dupree: Sensation can do whatever he wants, but he ain’t no “bitch ass coward” as the kids say...here’s the math Mario. Dupree: Wrex won’t waddle away until he gets Sensation or the Hall of Fame, nor will Jay ever give in to his demands. Even though deep down he just wants to punch Wrex’s stupid fat face and put him in his place. Mario: Hmmm I see, quite the politician. Dupree: What do you mean by that?! Mario: Nothing…I’m just referring to... Dupree: Ya know, I’ve read your opinion pieces on the "hierarchy” of OCW and your stupid dummy tweets on the “oligarchy”. Let me tell you something Mario! Dupree: Here are the phreaking politics, I do what’s best for OCW. Not what’s best for my peers, not what’s best for you or even what’s best for myself. It’s now a loud scene mid afternoon in an upscale restaurant. Security is on stand by as Tibby continues. Dupree: There is a phreaking reason we’re approaching 21 years of OCW. Yeah there is an oligarchy, a phreaking hierarchy in this business, it’s called Online Championship Wrestling. Dupree: The former Governor of the Carolinas said it best…”Cut the grass and all the snakes will show. Cut the snakes and all the ass will show.” More astonished at the quote than Dupree’s outburst, Mario is wide-eyed and taken back. Dupree stands up to leave. Mario: Did you just quote Ryu… Before Mario can finish his sentence Dupree goozles his water and slams down the glass. Dupree: Skeddadles. GRAPS online magazine and Mario Jeem both thanked OCW and Tiberius Dupree for this interview by giving cheap fruit baskets.

Leslie Wu. Hehe.

What a way to bring prestige and value to the tag titles. Where the fuck is your partner at least be a team when doing the stupid. Tastless, disgusting and uneeded. People are supposed to want those titles. Nobody wants them shits now.

Is that supposed to be a fat joke? You stink.

I hope Heather eats your lunch.

First, you muggles!

I am so glad I cant read.

Sawft.

I really enjoyed this show. That main event bruv, Aries and Bingo tore it down.

First!

First!

Dude, I'm not in character lol.

You have some serious potential on the writing side of things. Keep it up and get these type of promos on our weekly shows.

Mr. Marcus is the name of a pornstar from the 90s. He will never been seen as a "good guy" to me. FUCK MARCUS!

I only support loving wrestling, not love in wrestling lol. I was hoping for the return of badass, dark and brooding Natemac, that promo at Clash had me hyped. I then was reminded that the cold and methodical Iceman was now the steamy Hot sexcapade Man. This is how I felt when Lucas Crowe became Nomad or when Harv joined Kassianity. What I did like was NateMac's white wolf attire, sexxay. I also like KC Barrett, he's like if Corey Graves and Brian Pillman did a fusion dance. Don't know wtf happened at the end of the match and afraid to ask. *GOLDEN PROPHECY ACHEIVEMENT UNLOCKED* Also don't know what happened behind the scenes with the tag match, possible theft of elliotcar.avi, either way I hope this isn't the end of SOE. We need more tag teams that aren't just after pixels. But I'm glad to see things are taking off with the tag titles once again. This is bound to get interesting with all the different personalities and talent involved. Pine Dojo should have been shut down ages ago, it grooms idiots. I don't know why Parca ever listened to Dillinger, he doesn't even know how to say or spell Wrestlution. I will never buy what either of you are selling, one of you has no face, the other smells like the cigarette. Chris Greene looked more confident than I've ever seen. Caught our young Tribal Cheeks off guard. I hate Toxic Tang Tsung and his stupid cult, but he's definitely bringing Chey to the next level. I didn't enjoy the Flojo vs. Ash match as much as I thought I would. That was the theme of a few matches including Owen vs. Reese. People need to stop being dicks to each other, especially veterans and champions. I'm no FPR guru anymore but when I start smelling shit, I'll stop booking you so you don't stink up the place. Terra has big big....words. So many words I had to lay down. Favorite written rp(s) go to Mugen and company, not surprising. Deaver vs. Bishop was MOTN and vid promo of the night for me. This is how you start the new new year.

Jay wasn't doing comms in the main event, he was interacting with the stream. You may like phone sex with your commentary but I think it's a bit much, hence why I just mute them keep it moving. I don't need comms to enjoy a match. The show was short and sweet. A lot of stories were left a bit hanging but the ones I cared about most moved forward. That Claudio Tre promo was my favorite of the night.

Is there a moment where you aren't a hypocrite? You should be on a sex offender list.

So many glorious words, it makes my cosmic nipples hard!

No spoilers till page 2!

First!

EMP's trying a asshole. Hehe.

I can do a creative well written rp with nuance in about 15-20 minutes. It takes much longer to edit and render a video. This is a marathon not a sprint. Burnout is absolutely a thing that happens to even the best of us. Not to mention you need text for most video rps too. Except you lose most the nuance when moving to video. Quality is quality no matter if its video or text. You can only take so many beatdown vids, handshakes and chases before shit gets stale. Just like you can only take so many filler or wordy rps.

I hope the kid knees you into phreaking orbit.

Filler.
