OSW World Championship

The OSW World Championship is the main heavyweight championship for the Old School Wrestling brand (OSW). Established through a month long sixteen man tournament culminating in a four way brawl at the first special Flatline, the OSW World Championship has gone from humble beginnings, before going to heights during the Mike Lane era and becoming a world wide phenomenon around the waist of the unbeatable Edward Newton. Currently in it's fifth year, though lost some of it's aura with it's removal from the temple, it still remains one of the most prestigious titles in professional wrestling today.

Humble Beginnings
On the 22nd of February, 2015, OSW opened the doors of it's original home the Schoolyard to a ravenous group of fans in the midwest. A spiritul successor to cult internet promotion IWF, OSW started off strong, bringing IWF veterans such as DTR (now known as Dave The Rattlesnake), Desmond Cross and Rick Mad with up and coming independent stars like Mike Lane, Marcus X and long time mid west veteran Brent Kersh, a sixteen man tournament ran on the first few Afterburns that would see several fan favorites head through to the very first iPPV, Dave the Rattlesnake, Desmond Cross, Fate and in a shock move, comedy midcarder Marvelous Master Chef.

A curious masked wrestler who utilised a skillet as a weapon and a pepper like mist, many believed he was a red herring meant to elevate one of the other three, all the signs showing the final culmination of Dave the Rattlesnake after years of being the nearly man, and many were shocked that Chef was the very first world champion of OSW. Almost immediately joining the System, a heel authority group formed that same first iPPV consisting of OSW owner Errol Flynt, his real life son in law Mike Lane and veteran heel Jensen Cussen, the story was set for Dave to be the new big star of OSW, fighting through the System in the weeks leading up to the second iPPV Cyberslam, before finally winning the big gold...and losing it one month later.

An uppercarder in the latter years of the IWF, Desmond Cross exploded onto the OSW scene as a fearsome evil preacher, dominating for several months before unleashing a hellacious wrath upon the Schoolyard known as the ten plagues. Igniting the ring in the aftermath of a simple trios match, poisoning the food of Master Chef, unleashing a swarm of locusts upon the crowd the night he gained the gold, all this was simple play leading up to his big play, the sacrifice of Mike Lane.
