Welcome to “Ten Pounds of Gold”, where I, your host, Scott Brown, give you a chance to get to know the best wrestlers in the National Wrestling Alliance, personally. On February 7, 2015 Santana Garrett defeated Barbi Hayden for the NWA Women’s Championship. Since then she has consistently been one of the best wrestlers, man or woman, in the world, week in and week out. I recently had the pleasure to have a discussion with her about her career, her life and the future.
Scott Brown: What is the best memory you have of growing up with a pro wrestler for a father?
Santana Garrett: My dad didn’t start wrestling until I was in middle school but that was always our bonding experience. Coming from a big family, finding a niche like that with my dad was something I always treasured. It brought us together. He’s one of my biggest supporters!
Scott Brown: What is the best thing about your roommate, Larry Zbyszko?
Santana Garrett: Everyone knows about Larry. From his feud with Bruno Sammartino and Shea Stadium to saving Nitro from the New World World, he’s a wealth of knowledge. But the best thing about having Larry as a roommate, he’s the best puppy sitter for our dog, Charlie!

First Team Announced for CHALLENGE ACCEPTED Tag Tournament
The Perfect Addiction Perry Winkle and Randy Ray
Proving Ground Pro’s March 21st event includes an 8 team tag tournament to fill the vacant PGP tag titles.
The first team in the field is The Perfect Addiction consisting of Perry Winkle and Randy Ray. The longest running pairing in the Proving Ground see this tournament as the “perfect” opportunity to make that experience pay off in a big way. The P.A. has great teamwork and isn’t afraid to throw the rulebook out, often along with Addiction cohorts Mario Crivello and Lucy Mendez. They’ve been creating havoc since their inception with a cocky “anything to win “ attitude, expect that to continue on March 21st. The Perfect Addiction have worked towards this since they debuted,looking to cement their reputation with the sway and pay of a tag team championship.
The Regulators signed as second team for March 21st Tag Tournament
Proving Ground Pro’s tag team tournament at CHALLENGE ACCEPTED is adding The Regulators(Ron Mathis and Aaron Williams) to the field of 8 teams. This should be taken as bad news by the rest of the field, The Regulators are simply put, serious ass kickers. Ron Mathis has carved a reputation in CZW, IWA Mid South and more, leaving a lengthy list of victims in his wake. Mathis is flat out tough, this guy brings the fight every single night. “The Baddest Man Alive” Aaron Williams has been cutting his own swath of destruction across Ohio, catching the eye of Ron Mathis in Cleveland’s AIW, he and Mathis formed The Regulators. This is a double tough team that’s more than willing to hurt people. They may well be the odds on favorite to win the tournament and the belts!!!
Team IOU entered in March 21st CHALLENGE ACCEPTED tag team tournament
Team IOU(Nick Iggy and Kerry Awful) return to Proving Ground Pro as the 3rd team in a field of 8, looking for a signature win and the vacant PGP tag team titles. Team IOU has never had a bad showing in the Proving Ground, but that hasn’t kept them from suffering some tough losses during their tenure. Nick and Kerry are Dutch Mantel trained, making them extremely skilled and dangerous inside the ring. The fun loving and irreverent “Boy and Dog” image belie the hard truth that this team, Team IOU, can hurt you and beat you. Having been in the ring around the country with some of the very best teams the sport has to offer, IOU is battle tested with some big wins on their resume. Will CHALLENGE ACCEPTED be the night Team IOU claim the championship?
Alpha Breed added as 4th team for 3-21 CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
Remi Wilkins returns to the Proving Ground, this time with his Alpha Breed tag partner Trevor Court, ready to show why they’ve been gaining a reputation as a serious team on the independent circuit. Plying their trade as The Alpha Breed has proven to be extremely successful for Wilkins and Court,both members of this team have the full compliment of tools it takes to be a winner in the ring, speed, strength and great mat fundamentals Alpha Breed are looking for a championship to reward their hard work, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED may set up perfectly to make that happen for them.
Roscoe Eat Lisa added as 5th team for CHALLENGE ACCEPTED tournament
Zakk Sawyer and Mikey McFinnigan have both been to Proving Ground Pro for singles action, this time they return as Roscoe Eat Lisa, the oddly named team that has quickly become a problem for nearly everyone they’ve faced. Sawyer and McFinnigan created a combination that has elevated both mens success in the mat game, each complimenting the others skills and showing a natural affinity for teamwork. Having already captured tag titles in some of the places they work, Sawyer and McFinnigan plan to stay on that path and create another winning situation for themselves. Roscoe Eat Lisa could be your next PGP tag team champions on March 21st, whether they succeed or fail, they’ll bring one hell of a fight!!!
Team Overkill added to CHALLENGE ACCEPTED 3-21
The next team to enter the field of eight are no strangers to Proving Ground Pro. Team Overkill ( Matt Cage and Christian Rose ) are two of the best singles wrestlers in Illinois and some say the country. But when the two of them decide to put their talents together they are undoubtedly one of the best teams going. These two gentleman have had their sites set on tag gold in PGP before. Cage and Rose went to the finals of a four team tournament to crown the first ever tag champions in the Proving Ground. Coming up just short they have vowed to not let that happen again. Overkill could be the favorite to win this tournament. Tons of big match experience and a lethal arsenal of moves makes it hard to think differently. This team will stop at nothing to prove they are the best. The stage is set to do just that March 21st at CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. Eight teams with one night to show everyone they are the tag team of the future in Proving Ground Pro and the next Tag Team Champions!
