OCW Going High Tech?

[高村謙信]

Last night, Kenshin Takamura and OCW's very own President, Mr. Dean Mobley, had a face-to-face meeting about the future of Online Championship Wrestling and where it could be headed provided some investments are made. Now, it is no secret that Kenshin Takamura is an Internation Superstar in the world of professional wrestling. He turned down a very lucrative contract from a huge professional wrestling company in Japan known as New Japan Pro-Wrestling to instead join OCW. Takamura had no issues with NJPW, he just wanted to expand his horizons and believed in the idea behind OCW. That being said, Kenshin did not want to just standby in hopes that OCW would break through the glass ceiling. No, he wanted to give the company a forceful boost like only he could. That is why him and Mr. Mobley had this meeting. A meeting about upgrading Online Championship Wrestling with state-of-the-art equipment.



Funding for this would come directly from Kenshin Takamura's pocket which brought up another question: why would Kenshin shell out his own money to help another person's company that he barely knows? Yes, it is an investment and he will be, much later on, making a profit provided OCW succeeds, but the ultimate answer is a little deeper. OCW's old school ways of business and promising spirit encouraged Kenshin Takamura that he was in the right place. A place that he believes could truly revolutionize professional wrestling as we know, but at the same time, keep the things that we know and love about sports entertainment.



Takamura's investment wasn't a small one either. Through Sony and a rather large pyrotechnic company, he was able to procure a brand new Titan Tron for OCW, a computerized pyrotechnic system, and a state-of-the-art sound system for OCW to travel with. It didn't hurt that Kenshin's cousin is a rather important fellow at Sony either.



Kenshin Takamura isn't the only wrestling talent that has invested in the company though. It's well-known throughout the company that Bobinette Carey also threw some of her own cash down to see to Online Championship Wrestling's success. When asked what she thought about the news of Kenshin, she replied, "Well, I'm uberly glad I'm not the only one who wanted to do what is best for the company."



Only time will tell if OCW can withstand the test of time thanks to these two wrestlers and the rest of the roster. Their contributions will certainly help Online Championship Wrestling move in the right direction. The future of OCW isn't very far off either because this new equipment will debut at OCW's first Supershow back, Resurrection. Just another great reason to tune into the already stellar show OCW is putting on!
