"HUGE" SIGNINGS RUMORED FOR OLD-SCHOOL WRESTLING TAG DIVISION

PORTLAND, Oregon -- The main event for the first Old-School Wrestling Insession event, scheduled for January 15th, 2013 in Portland, has been officially scheduled. However, the exact participants of the match have not yet been announced, which has led to wild speculation.

Ice would not identify either of the teams participating in the first OSW Insession main event when asked for comment. "But I assure you... this is going to be one surprise you do not want to miss," the promoter teased.

Rumors have swirled regarding the identities of the four men competing in the match... and the rumors have only increased in intensity in the last 48 hours. A major online wrestling fan forum has generated national interest with a post from an alleged employee of Old-School Wrestling, whose identity was confirmed by the website but who was promised anonymity. In the post, the source claims that a "Hall of Fame team will be returning to the ring to wrestle for Old-School Wrestling" in the main event of the first Insession. OSW President Michael Ice denied the rumor, but refused further comment on the match.

The names most often linked to the rumor have been former EMWC Champions the Epitome of Cool, who reside in the Portland area and who are known to still be actively involved in the business. However, this rumor was also directly denied by Andrew Sterling, one-half of the Hall of Fame tag team, who stated the team has "no plans to sign with Old-School Wrestling". And no other current Hall of Fame tag team is believed to be active or has even been rumored to be considering a return to the ring, OSW or elsewhere.

However, those facts haven't stopped the rumors of a potential Hall of Fame addition from sparking the attention of other big name teams in the industry. The source also claimed that Michael Ice has spoken directly with the representatives for both the PVW World Tag Team Champions Max & Sal and the UWF World Tag Team Champions Insanity Society, though the source did not confirm either team as having signed with OSW. Other rumors have suggested that former EMWC/UWF Tag Team Champions Strictly Business, who recently reunited in the Texas-based AWA and have an unsettled history with the Epitome of Cool, would consider signing with OSW should the rumor of their formal rivals' signing hold true. Even a second Hall of Fame team, 2011 inductees The Outlaws, have been rumored to be reconsidering their retirement for a chance to finish unsettled business with the Epitome of Cool from many years ago in RCW.

Those names all remain just rumors, however. And they're all largely linked to the rumor regarding the Epitome of Cool signing, which has been denied both by the EoC and by OSW. The only fact known for certain is that two tag teams have been signed to OSW contracts, and they have been deemed big enough signings to main event the promotion's first show in a decade. However, naysayers on the same online forum as the alleged employees' claims warn that a good indy promoter usually wouldn't hold his cards when ticket sales are on the line. As one poster writes, "If a Hall of Fame team were truly signed, they would be promoted using more than just smoke and mirrors."

The two teams will be not identified publicly until the night of the show. Tickets for OSW Insession #1, scheduled for January 15th, 2013 at the OSW Schoolhouse in Portland, will go on sale January 1st.
