The fallout from Caged Fury; Traci Lane takes on Anthony Hazard for a shot at the main event of Crime Spree; TV Champion Shogun takes on Davey Scott; Danny Bouchard battles Gustaffson
Previously at Caged Fury
Biff: She’s pulling something out from under the ring. Lane comes up behind, reaching over the ropes and grabs a hold of that mask to try and pull Jungle Mask back into the ring. Mask just nailed Lane with. Whatever it was and Lane flies backwards.
Ed: The referee completely missed that and Lane is down and out! Jungle Mask slithers back into the ring and. what is she doing?
Biff: Mask pulls off her mask and.
Ed: OH MY!!! That’s… That’s... That’s...
Biff: What the hell?!? That’s Monica Brant!!!! She covers Lane! One. two. three! We have a new OWA Champion in Monica Brant! What the hell does she think she’s doing? She was a Femme!
Ed: Monica Brant is Jungle Mask! She applies the Fashion Statement sleeper to Lane! We’re going to need some help out here. And here comes the Femmes and Brant grabs the title and hightails it out of there. She goes through the audience and she’s outta here.
Biff: What the hell?!? What the hell?!? Monica Brant?!?
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the match and the NEW OWA Champion.
There’s a pause as the announcer confers with the referee.]
Announcer: Monica Brant!
A black screen flashes the date, “February 15, 1996. A black and white picture moves slowly. Anthony Hazard lifts up Traci Lane and delivers the Reverse Power Slam and goes for the cover. one. two. three!! Hazard gets to his feet and lifts his arms in the air. The referee hands him the OWA Championship and the motion stops then shatters, leaving the OWA Championship Wrestling logo. ]
Ed: Welcome to OWA Championship Wrestling. Over a year ago. Anthony Hazard defeated Traci Lane to become the OWA Champion and with the exception of a rematch, these two have never stepped into the ring against each other one on one. Tonight, just as it was on February 15, 1996, Traci Lane will battle Anthony Hazard. However, it will not be for the OWA Championship as you saw at the open of the show, Monica Brant is our new OWA Champion. It was revealed that for weeks, she was the one who put on the charade of Jungle Mask and now she’s the OWA Champion. So, tonight’s main event will be a rematch from over a year ago. Will Anthony Hazard derail Traci Lane’s battle back to the championship, or can Traci Lane avenge her loss of over a year ago and defeat Hazard. We already know that Monica Brant will have to defend her OWA Championship against Pretty Boy Monty as one of the competitors in the Triple Threat Ladder match main event of Crime Spree. The winner of this match between Traci Lane and Anthony Hazard will be the final participant.
Biff: Traci Lane has improved immensely as has Anthony Hazard but I’m not here to talk about that. I’ve seen the web page and if you think I’m getting into the ring with Little Ricky you’ve got another think coming, pal.
Ed: The contract has been forced by the OWA Board of Directors.
Biff: Screw that. I have a court ordered injunction that states that I will NOT be in any one on one encounters in the OWA. There’s no way they can do that to me. I’m a retired wrestler and I am now an announcer. I am not getting back in the ring. So Ricky? Bite me, pal.
Ed: Hype must have heard you Biff, here he comes.
Ricky Hype

Ricky Hype, reaching out and shaking Ed’s hand: Hi Ed, nice to see ya.
Biff: Idiot and he didn’t hear the good news about the injunction. Dream on Little Ricky. You’ll never get me in the ring. Ever.
Ed: Can you dig yourself in any deeper? On today’s card, we’ll have a recap of last week’s Caged Fury as we’ll as more information about Crime Spree. In fact, I’m told we’ll have a startling announcement in regards to a match between the Tag Team Champions and the Extremists that is being set up for Crime Spree.
Biff: I’ve heard rumors but nothing’s been substantiated. But I have a feeling this one is going to be good.
Ed: We have a lot in store this week. Before we go to ringside, let’s hear these prerecorded comments from Danny Bouchard.
Biff: Are the censors ready?
Danny Bouchard
(Trois-Rivieres. Danny Bouchard stands in front of a Trois-Rivieres bar, cigarette in hand.)
Bouchard: Stupid no-smoking bylaws. you know, I just thought I’d relax a bit tonight, what with the big match tomorrow against that Gustaffson, and all I wanna do is maybe have a beer, have some fun, you know, like dat, and they tell me I can’t smoke a cigarette! Goddamn hell. So I guess after thins, I go back home, rest up for the big match. Me against Gustaffson. The Pride Of Trois-Rivieres against some stupid Scandinavian who still needs help putting his clothes on the right way. You been awful quiet the last couple a weeks, eh, Gussy? Starting to think maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to put Danny Bouchard in the hospital after all, am I right? I’m not like the other morons in the OWA, I don’t fear you, and maybe you can’t handle the fat that some guy has come waltzing into your federation just as you lost the title, and he put some pressure on you, and even putting him in the hospital couldn’t stop him from up your shot at the title, am I right? I think, my friend, that I am, eh? I tell you what, you’re a big man, a couple of leaping DDTs, you’re going to feel very small, my boy. I can only wait with the greatest of anticipation for our match up. Have a nice day, scumbag.
Danny Bouchard vs. Gustaffson
Announcer: This match is one fall. First, already in the ring, weighing in at 255 pounds. Here is Danny Bouchard! And his opponent. Coming down the aisle. Standing 7. 2” and weighing in at 367 pounds. Here is the giant. Gustaffson!
Ed: This one is underway already. Bouchard nailed Gus as he entered the ring and is stomping him down.
Biff: Haha. As much as I think the big guy is a great competitor. He’s not all that bright. A couple of kicks to the head by Bouchard and a DDT. cover. one. Kickout by big Gus. Bouchard with a lariat and another cover. one. t. kickout by Gus.
Ed: Bouchard’s got his work cut out for him. He’s going to have to get the former OWA Champion in a more compromising position. Bouchard with a kick to the midsection and a short lariat. Whip by Bouchard but Gustaffson just runs him over with a massive running forearm smash!
Biff: The crowd is getting behind the giant now. A hard elbow and a DDT! Gustaffson sets him up and POWERBOMB! Cover. one. two. thr. Kickout by Danny Bouchard. Gustaffson with a dragon suplex. Gustaffson cracks his knuckles and. he applies a full nelson. Bouchard is in serious trouble here. I don’t think anyone in the OWA is as strong as big Gus.
Ed: The referee is asking for a submission and OH!
Biff: That’s one way to get out of it.
Ed: Bouchard lifts up his back leg and nails Gus with a low blow. Gus is in a lot of pain. The referee is questioning Bouchard who denies any wrong doing.
Biff: Like he’d admit to it. This is not preschool. This is the OWA! Bouchard with a chokehold. one. two. three. four. He breaks and applies it again. one. two. three. Four and again the referee is in Bouchard’s face.
Ed: Bouchard setting up Gus. He’s going to finish him off with the Leaping DDT! NO! Gustaffson with a backdrop and a choke slam! Cover. one. two. thre. no. Bouchard gets his foot in the ropes.
Biff: Gus is going for another choke slam but Bouchard with an eye gouge and a hotshot! Cover. one. two. three!! Bouchard beats Gustaffson!
Announcer: The winner of the match in 20: 11, Danny Bouchard!
Ed: That’s what I would call an upset of sorts. I don’t think anyone expected Bouchard to take this one. Let’s go to Myers Watterson with our Crime Spree update.
Crime Spree Update
Myers: Thanks guys. I’m Myers Watterson with your first official Crime Spree update.
With the success of Caged Fury right at our heels, we’re looking ahead to May 4th as the OWA Presents Crime Spree, only on PPV. Let’s run down a few of the matches that have already been signed but first, announced earlier this week.
Ricky Hype was scheduled to face off with announcer Biff Franklin. However a court ordered injunction produced earlier today by Biff Franklin has put this issue on hold. The OWA Board of directors are fighting the injunction.
The North American title will be on the line at Crime Spree in not one but three matches. Current champion, Billy Smith will take on Taleis in the first match and if he’s successful hell be going on to meet Davey Scott in the second. And if Billy Smith makes it past Scott, he’ll take on former champion Rainbow Warrior in the last match. The title will be on the line in each of the three matches.
Another match that was signed is a roof match, pitting Mr. America against Virgo. With the injuries sustained by Tom Tomorrow in Caged Fury, it appears that Tom may be able to compete at Crime Spree. However, as it stands, America will take on Virgo. On top of the arena, a cage will be put up all the way around the building. However, there will be a 6-foot opening along one wall of the cage. The object? To push your opponent through that 6-foot opening out off the roof. Never fear, below an inflatable mattress will be set up, just like they are used in movies to catch the stunt actors. Next week, Shelly Marks will have a special report from the site of Crime Spree regarding this match.
The main event will be a Triangle Ladder match. Newly crowned and controversial OWA Champion Monica Brant will defend her title against Pretty Boy
