The Kansas City Killers send a warning to Kahagas after taking out the Hooligans Neil Diamond Cutter as they head to Florida this Weekend at Coastal Championship Wrestling.

From NBWA management

In the 70 days in between the last NBWA show on October 3rd, and the net NBWA show on December 12th there have been a number of changes to the NBWA roseter, most notably the departure of the NBWA Heavyweight Champion, Issan Hadeev. Just days after winning the award for the NBWA’s “Heel of the Year”, and also winning an award for the NBWA’s “Match of the Year”, Issan Hadeev made the announcement via his Myspace page that he was walking away from the world of wrestling. When asked what brought about this sudden decision, the response was that Issan Hadeev was going on a quest for religious enlightenment.

With that said, the NBWA‘s Board of Directors had the unenviable task of deciding how to handle the title vaccancy, that was fair to the NBWA roster, and entertaining to the NBWA‘s fans. After much deliberation, the decision was made that a brand new NBWA Heavyweight Champion would be crowned in Rantoul, IL on December 12th, via an eight man, single elimination tournament, to be called the NBWA‘s “Tournament of Champions”. Included in this tournament would be representatives of the NBWA‘s past and present, with one common factor…they have all held NBWA gold at one time or another.

With that being said here is a glance at the 8 men chosen to participate in the “Tournament of Champions”

“The Man Without Fear”
Da Cobra

In his long and storied career in the NBWA Da Cobra has held his fair share of NBWA titles, most recently being the biggest title of them all, the NBWA Heavyweight Title. Da Cobra cashed in the 2008 Alberta J. Murray Memorial Trophy in March 2009 for a title shot against the champion at the time, “Fabulous” Jason V. and held the heavyweight gold for 3 months until June 2009. Aside for the NBWA Heavyweight title, “The Man Without Fear” has also held the NBWA Midwest Title, and was a NBWA Tag Team Champion.

“The Prime Cut”
Nick Cutler

Nick Cutler has had the shortest NBWA career out of all 8 participants in the “Tournament of Champions”, but make no mistake about it, Cutler has been groomed for greatness. Since his very first match in the NBWA Cutler has been in title contention. “The Prime Cut” made his NBWA debut on April 20th, 2008 in a Fatal 4 Way match for the NBWA Television Title, although he wasn’t the winner that day, it wouldn’t be long before he did claim NBWA gold. In January 2009 Cutler, in just his 4th NBWA match, defeated “The Apex” Blake Steel for the vacant NBWA No-Limits title. Although Cutler’s No-Limits title reign only lasted 2 months, he had already set his sights on the biggest prize of them all, the NBWA Heavyweight Title. Just 3 months after loosing the No-Limits title, “The Prime Cut” was involved in a Fatal 4 Way Ladder Match at Lincoln’s Challenge in June 2009, where he was the winner of the Heavyweight Title, but the win didn’t come without controversy. Nick Cutler would go on to loose the NBWA Heavyweight Title on July 19, 2009 in a Triple Threat Match to Issan Hadeev.

Vic “The Pitbull” Santelli

It has been MANY moon’s, as they say since “The Pitbull” has had the NBWA Heavyweight Title around his waist, but it would certainly feel right at home along side the NBWA Mid-West Title which “Pitbull” currently holds. If Pitbull can win the “Tournament of Champions” it would make this the 3rd title victory in 6 months after claiming the No-Limits title in a 8 man Championship Challenge Match in July 2009, and then defeated Eric Ruffington on August 23rd in a match to unify the Mid-West Title and the No-Limits Title. In addition, Vic Santelli is also a former NBWA Tag Team Champion, holding the titles with fellow “Wise Guy” Pain Train.

Eric Ruffington

It’s hard to think back to when Eric Ruffington wasn’t wearing a NBWA Title Belt. Eric Ruffington is coming off of a nearly 8 month long reign as the NBWA’s Mid-West Champion, in which he defeated Wild Bill for the title on January 11th, and held the title until August 23rd. Before that lengthy reign Ruffington had held the NBWA Heavyweight Title for five months from January 2009 until July 2009 when the fued between Eric Ruffington and “Bloody” Harker Dirge came to an end with a BHD title victory.

“The Apex”
Blake Steel

Blake Steel has spent much of the last year trying to escape from the shadows of “Feature Presentation” and his former partner Eric Ruffington, and what better way to do that than to claim the biggest prize in the NBWA? Although Steel is one of only 2 men in the tournament to NOT have ever held the NBWA Heavyweight, Blake Steel can claim that he has never been defeated for an NBWA title. On March 7th, 2009 Blake Steel got his first taste of NBWA gold with No-Limits title victory over Nick Cutler, but Steel’s first and only NBWA title reign was cut short by a shoulder injury. NBWA‘s Board of Directors had no choice but to vacate the No-Limits title, meaning “The Apex” was never beaten for the No-Limits belt. The Board of Directors thought it was only fair to include “The Apex” Blake Steel in”The Tournament of Champions”.

“The Rage”
Gavin Alexander

Gavin is the second of two wrestlers that have been invited into the “Tournament of Champions”. But let us not forget that Gavin is much in the same boat as the previously mentioned Blake Steel, having been a No-Limits Champion, having his reign cut short by an injury. Gavin Alexander defeated the NBWA‘s “Slick Nick” in the Spring of 2007 in a Hardcore Match with the help of his GAW co-horts, J.C. Michaels, and Kenny O’Brien. Before Gavin could defend the No-Limits Title, he would be put on the shelves by doctors orders with a broken foot, Meaning that the NBWA would have to vacate the title. Although it’s two and a half years later, the NBWA has rewarded Gavin’s patience with a shot at the top prize in the NBWA.

“Fabulous”
Jason V.

Whether you remember his as “The Inspiration of Innovation” or “Fabulous”, you simply cannot have a “Tournament of Champions” without Jason V. The NBWA‘s championship history books have many pages with the name Jason Vendetta written upon them. From the early days of the NBWA when Jason Vendetta was one half of “Wrestling Redefined” with Aaron Matthews, and a No-Limits Champion on top of a 2 time Alberta J. Murray Memorial Tournament winner. More recently Jason V. has become “Fabulous” and has held the NBWA Tag Team Titles with a new partner, Serenity” but all those title pale in comparison to the title victory “Fabulous” had on Jan. 1st 2009 when he defeated “Bloody” Harker Dirge to become the NBWA Heavyweight Champion. Although he had a bit of help form Serenity, and a pipe wrench, to win the grand-daddy of them all, “Fabulous” Jason V. is more than qualified to be included in “The Tournament of Champions”

“Bloody” Harker Dirge

Harker Dirge is arguably the most popular and beloved NBWA star of all time, bringing NBWA fans to their feet time and time again. But this fan favorite has more than just the fans behind him when he enters the “Tournament of Champions” , Harker also has a long and storied NBWA Championship history. Not only has BHD held the NBWA Heavyweight Title, but the NBWA Mid-West Title and was one half of the NBWA Tag Team Champions with Cheapshot McGrot, under the disguise of Noon Moon. Come December 12th, Harker Dirge will have the NBWA fans at his side, but it will take much more than cheers of the fans to win 3 matches against the top title contenders in NBWA history.

How will the NBWA’s “Tournament of Champions” pan out? Will we finally see a “Fabulous” Jason V. vs “Bloody” Harker Dirge rematch with the NBWA Heavyweight Title on the line? Will we finally see Eric Ruffington get into the ring with his former partner Blake Steel ? Or will DaCobra, Vic “The Pitbull” Santelli, or Nick Cutler regain the NBWA Heavyweight Title? Will the underdog in the whole tournament, Gavin Alexander pull off an upset and win his first NBWA Heavyweight Title? There is only one way to find out exactly how the “Tournament of Champions” pans out, be there live and in person! The show is scheduled for Saturday, Dec 12, 2009 at 2:00 PM at Lincoln’s Challenge Academy in Rantoul, IL!

Also scheduled for Dec 12th…..

The big rematch that was announced at the NBWA Awards ceremony, is “Super” Jimmy Karryt vs Cyclone. Although the stakes are much bigger this time, than they were the last time these two met, it should be a barn burner! Jimmy Karryt will be defending the Heritage Wrestling Coalition Title against “The Unpredictable” Cyclone’s mask and wrestling career!

“Absolutely Fabulous” will be defending their NBWA Tag Team Titles against not one, not two, but THREE tag teams. Yes, thats right a Fatal 4 Way Tag Team match for the NBWA Tag Team Titles. “Absolutely Fabulous” vs “Aaron and Jeff” vs Cheapshot McGrot and Cecil Cerveza, vs Wild Bill and Nicky “The Weasel” Mankotti.

Finally…What is being billed as a speacil attraction “Light’s Out” main event, will pit Lincoln’s Challenges very own instructor, “The Enforcer” Sgt. Bobby Jones will accept the challenge of another Rantoul native, making his professional wrestling debut “ The Black Diamond” Aaron Paul!

Come and see all this….10 Huge Matches….3+ hours of professional wrestling at it’s best for just $5.00 per person*

Johnny Blade first stepped into the gym at 8 years old. Not wrestling but martial arts and later in kickboxing, Thai boxing, boxing and shootfighting. Wrestling had always been in the back of his mind for later down the road when he was done with all the other stuff. That other stuff would be rewarded with many titles won as both an amateur and professional fighter.

As an amateur kick boxer Johnny held the Missouri State and Midwest middleweight titles. Proving his versatility he won the 1997 Golden Gloves for boxing. John went on to turn pro in kickboxing and Thai boxing in 2000 and boxing in 2003 under the tutelage of his trainer Rob Ward. Rob Ward is an 8th degree Black Belt and an accomplished full contact karate competitor himself.

By 2002 John had won the Intercontinental Heavyweight Kickboxing Championship for the P.K.L. and an Interim World Heavyweight Thai boxing championship in 2004. Retiring from all the other stuff a little over a year ago with a record of 28-4 with 20KO’s for kickboxing. 10-1 with 9KO’s for Thai boxing. 5-0 with 5KO’s in shoot fighting and 6-10-1 with 5KO’s for boxing. Those records of course are just his pro records. As an amateur he had around 100 fights and only losing an estimated 10 of them. As a pro he has fought all over the world including Bally’s and Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. The Reliant Center in Houston, Lumpinee Stadiium in Thailand and not to mention the greatest of them all, Madison Square Garden. A lot of which were under cards of HBO, Showtime and PPV events. So to say this man has got some experience in the ring is an understatement.

With his expertise in many forms of fighting Johnny Blade is young in his wrestling career but far from a rookie. (Photo Credit Michael R Van Hoogstraat)

Johnny turned to Pro Wrestling on November 1, 2008 in St.Louis at South Broadway Athletic Club. Since then has wrestled for several federations including WWCW, CCW and of course MMWA- SICW. Johnny knows what it takes to get to the top and now he is trying to apply that same work ethic he had in his other careers to wrestling. He has already had close to 60 wrestling bouts and has picked up the sport rather quick but with his background that really came as no surprise. Johnny has already found out the pains of the sport as he has said that wrestling hurts more on a day to day basis than all the others. He stated that “Thai boxing hurts the most for each individual match but in training is where most of the pain comes from. There you spar a few times a week but with protective gear on. In wrestling you may have knee pads on and elbow pads but they do you no good when you’re getting slammed on your back over and over. Not to mention sometimes you wrestle 2 or 3 times a week in between your training days.” He continues to say “with that said wrestling is everything I hoped it would be and more. I get a better rush from the crowd now as a wrestler than when I was a prize fighter. As a wrestler you get to interact with them more and that makes all the difference to me. At the same time I can say it is definitely a change that has taken some getting used to.

When asked about his new experience in the ring Johnny explained “The first few matches I did not interact enough with them and as each match goes by you keep finding more ways to get the crowd into it. So even though I got a lot of ring experience growing up I still have a lot of things to learn in wrestling. I watch a lot of the older guys and keep tabs all the time of the little things they do and how they make the crowd react so well. Whether they are getting them to cheer or boo. Even a couple of the younger guys who have been getting a lot of experience traveling and doing as many shows as possible have taught me a few things. Most notably Brandon Espinosa as we have traveled together several times. Watching him work the crowd and the way he sells moves. Dave Vaughn is another young guy with a lot of talent I like to take notes from. A guy closer to my age I’ve already learned a lot from would be Sean Vincent. His heel work is astounding and thus far has been the best worker I’ve been matched up against. An older guy I learned a lot from was Motley Cruz whom I’ve wrestled around 4 times down south from Dyersburg, TN. He never did a lot but what he did and the way he did it I picked up on and seen the brilliance of it.”

I asked Johnny who he hopes to wrestle one day and he was quick to answer “ One of the guys I hope to get to work one day up here is Gary Jackson. We’ve worked out a few times in the gym but have not had a match yet. I love watching the man work as he just knows so much about the sport. I figure that will be one of my toughest matches and he will definitely be a hard man to beat. For now I will just keep trying to get booked for as many shows as possible and for as time and my job will allow. I’m already trying my best to promote myself with my own T-shirts and website at http://johnnyblade.ning.com/and doing my best to meet and greet every fan with autographed photos and just talking to them and keeping them coming to the shows. Hopefully I will just keep getting better and can avoid as many injuries as possible and with a little luck get signed by a big promotion one day. But even if that happens I will always come back to South Broadway and do a match from time to time. If it doesn’t then I’m sure I will just enjoy the ride.

To find out when Johnny Blade will be in action at MMWA- SICW go to their myspace. To book Johnny Blade make sure you check out his website here.

Your wrestling school likely has either its own promotion or a promotion which frequently books its wrestlers. That will probably be your home promotion, at least as long as you are affiliated with the school. I encourage every wrestler to get out and work elsewhere as well. Doing so puts a lot of different sets of eyes on you — you never know who’s watching — and gives you a chance to work with different people.

You’ll need to put together a promo package: a photo, a resumé, and a promotional video. I’ll first tell you how to put together packages to send to independent promoters, then to WWE. The WWE instruction is firsthand knowledge that came directly from a conversation with somebody who can hire you, so pay close attention to it.

The Independent Promo Package

The photo should be a quality photograph of you in your wrestling gear. Keep in mind that this photo may be scanned to include on a poster or flyer. There should be no date and time markers on the photo, especially since this is likely the same photo you sell to fans at events. This is a wrestling photo, not a senior portrait, so don’t take it in your back yard or at the local swimming pool.

The resumé should be printed from a computer, not handwritten. If you don’t have access to a computer at home, go to the local library. If you can’t make it to the local library, quit wrestling because you’re lazy and you’d rather make excuses for failure than succeed.

The header of your resumé should contain the following: your real name, your address (not your gimmick hometown and, for the love of all things sacred, not “Parts Unknown”), your phone number, email address, and website if you have one, each on its own line and center-aligned. Below the header, the first line (left-aligned) should be your gimmick name or nickname. Next should be your height and weight. Then put the place or persons with whom you trained (but don’t put the name of somebody whose weeklong seminar you attended). After that, put the number of years you’ve spent in the business. Let the promoter know the different places you’ve worked; begin with the largest promotion and work your way down. Follow that with any titles you’ve held in pro wrestling. “Most Hated Wrestler of the Year” in Garfield Street Pro Wrestling is not a title — I’m talking about championships. List any notable people in the business with whom you’ve worked, including national names as well as wrestlers who work or have worked with the promoter who will receive your promo package.

The promotional video should be on a DVD these days. It’s just so much more convenient to play a DVD and many people no longer have a VCR. Include two matches in their entirety. Never clip a match, because the promoter may think you messed up badly and are trying to hide it. I liked to include one match that I won and another that I lost. If possible, try to show yourself both as a babyface and as a heel. It doesn’t hurt to specify which wrestler you are (black trunks, etc.). Do not include matches you have worked for WWE if you were there as enhancement talent except for the unlikely scenario that it wasn’t a squash. I also suggest adding a one- to two-minute promo. Mail the package everywhere you want to work.

The WWE Package

This isn’t something I just made up in my head. This advice was based on a conversation I had with a man who can hire you.

Include two high-quality photographs printed on photo paper. Look like a wrestler: if you don’t know how to pose then go to wwe.com, look at the wrestlers’ posed photos, and imitate.

The WWE resumé should not be a resumé; instead, it should be a Microsoft Power Point presentation. The layout should be professional but subtle; I recommend a simple border.

You don’t have to copy this format font-for-font, but I wouldn’t stray too far from it.

On the cover page, include your real name (in 36-point font), your work name on the next line in parentheses (32-point font), and your physical address, phone number, and email address on separate lines all in text no smaller than 24-point font. On this page, your name should be at the center of the page with everything else moving toward the bottom.

Every page thereafter should have a title header (i.e., Bio, Experience, etc.) near the top of the page but below the border.

The Table of Contents is your second page. This will allow Talent Relations to quickly access any information they may need.

Beginning with the third page, use page numbers and use bullet points. Be brief. The third page should be your bio (height, weight, age, hometown, training, years’ experience). Other pages should be: Gimmick (if it stands out), Promotions, Titles Held, Notable Opponents, Athletic Background, and References.

Your promotional video will require the biggest financial and time investments. I recommend using a Slimline DVD case (the thin one shaped like a regular DVD case, not a CD case) because it is more portable. The DVD cover insert should be a piece of photo paper trimmed (use a paper-cutter if possible) with a photo and your real name, work name, physical address, phone number, and email address on it. Include the same text information on the spine. The back of the insert should read like a resumé. Burn your matches onto a printable DVD with your photo, real name, work name, and phone number (in case it gets left in a DVD player or otherwise separated from the rest of the package). The disc should have a menu that also includes your real and work names and phone number), a promo, and two matches.

Priority Mail this package to:

You’ve marketed yourself to promoters and now your phone is ringing. Dealing with promoters, you’ll learn that they come in all shapes and sizes and with all kinds of different personalities. The best you can hope for is to find a straight-shooter that won’t screw you over.

For the first few years, just get booked: work everywhere you can as often as you can. God Bless You if you can get a good payday, but know that promoters are taking a risk on green guys and probably won’t want to pay them much. Just NEVER work for free (a good promoter would never ask it of you) unless you’ve agreed to work a benefit or a free show. A difficult thing to do is ask for more money when you become worth it. I have no real advice on this other than to expect to lose some bookings every time you raise your booking fee.

Most promoters I’ve met have been honest, but there are also shady people running promotions. Make them shoot straight with you. Don’t expect anything less than a commitment from them and hold them accountable for their promises.

Know in advance with whom you will be working, how much you are being paid, the promoter’s policy on merchandise sales and the state’s licensing requirements as well as if transportation costs, hotels, etc., are being covered. Some promoters like to spin “around the corner” tales. I can only pay you five bucks for this show, he’ll say, but I have a sold show around the corner and I’ll be able to pay you well on that one is usually bullshit. If you need $50, then get the $50 commitment from him.

If a promoter screws you on pay, never work for him again and spread the word to everybody you know. Protect the other wrestlers from shady promoters. Even if your pay is one dollar short this time, the next time it could be your entire payday. You’d hate to get stranded three hundred miles from home because you were screwed over by a promoter. If the promoter tells you right before the event begins that he can’t pay you, don’t work. You don’t owe it to anybody to work for free, ever.

Keep in mind that, while your regular fee may be $150 (and you’d better be damn good and/or be prepared to spend a lot of weekends at home to charge that as an independent wrestler), there may be times where it benefits you to charge less. If a promoter confirms eight bookings for you, consider cutting him a deal. If a promoter offers you $225 to wrestle two shows in one weekend for him, try to get the promoter to pay for a hotel room on top of the $225, but I recommend settling for just the $225 even if you can’t get a hotel room included.

How much should I charge? I don’t know. If I was booked to work with somebody I knew was better than me, I saw it as an opportunity to learn a lot and I also considered dropping my price. There were also times when I worked cheaper for a promoter because agreed to book one of my students on the show.

A promoter may ask you to do some extra things for him. If he asks you to do a call-in interview to a radio station to plug the event, do it. What is it really costing you but a few minutes of your time? If he tells you that he expects you to sell 20 tickets to earn your payday, politely decline the booking. That’s crap, and it’s disappointing that some promoters do that. It’s your job to wrestle, not to peddle tickets.

Make sure you keep a date book or a calendar. Don’t double-book yourself because you will probably have to no-show or cancel one of the bookings. Word travels fast, and no-showing will screw your career up quickly.

What if I’ve sent my promo packages and my phone still isn’t ringing? Place a follow-up call once or twice to each promotion and if you don’t get a booking after that, send promo packages out to the next batch of promotions. Don’t be a nuisance to a promoter by blowing up his phone. There are promoters out there who will book you.

During the MECW 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY there was some awesome prixes given away to the fans to celebrate the evening. All the fans had to do was bring in a canned good to go to the needy. You could win free food, pictures of Mike Sydal and Chris Jericho drawn by MWR Artist Dartallion Allen plus a chance to get their picture taken with 2 MECW Wrestlers and much more.

His dad handed over the ring worn tights to his son Dillan Plunnev who quickly went to the bathroom to put them on to go along with his MWR T-shirt.

To those who know me best, the title of this article is probably really confusing. Most know me as the straight laced indvidual in the lockerroom always talking about wrestling. Not the rat in the 3rd row, or looking to take the edge off with a bottle of your favorite liquid courage. Not trying to sneak off somewhere to live out the words to famous songs by Eric Clapton, The Steve Miller Band or Afroman. My high is, was and will forever be about the match.

The performace. We’ve all been there. When everything clicks. When you make the crowd inch closer and closer to edge of their seat with a story crafted in theater made of steel, posts and ropes. When you can make them laugh, cry, cuss, rant, rave and rejoice by the perfect combinations of athleticism and entertainment. When it doesn’t matter if they are in the front row or the very back because they are all in the palm of your hand.

Its my addiction, my passion, my first love. Wrestling to some is a drug. We remember our firsts and lasts. Like a true drug addict we know the pain its caused but we don’t care, we’ld do it all again. Like a herion addict remembering that high with a smile on his face. Once you’re addicted then you’re an addict for life. There is no “quitting”, and if do manage to distance yourself from it, your thoughts are always geared about your next fix. If you want to learn on how detoxing from percocet prescription drug, check out http://www.resurgencebehavioralhealth.com for more info.

Although it isn’t meant to really last. Just like any high eventually you have to come down. When you crash off a wrestling high you are smack dab in the middle of reality. With day jobs and bills, herniated discs and swollen joints. But pain is only temporary,glory last forever. Whether your at a day job, or with family sometimes its hard to scale back to normal. Isn’t it? To quit being yourself with the volume turned to 10, to turn it down to 4 or 5.

You can’t put it in a syringe, roll it up or snort it up. You have work to achieve it. You have learn a craft to get a high in my addiction. How many pot head you know that get high and actually feel like they had accomplished something. Like smoking pot paid off. I promise thats why my addiction is better than any other one out there and when “The Golden Boy” Greg Anthony makes a promise its as good as gold.

—-Greg Anthony is a regular on the local area circuit. He won RRO Booker of the Year 2008 and is listed in the top 5 of the RRO Top 10 2008. Greg is currently working as booker of NEW and can be seen tagging with legend Bobby Eaton and Brian Thompson as “Midnight Gold”.

Missouri Wrestling Revival has just got word that some of the finest wrestlers in the Midwest will follow female star Santana G’s footsteps and make there presence known in Florida at Coastal Championship Wrestling. Santana shocked the CCW Champion Kimberly this past weekend and pinned her for the title.

This Friday High Voltage Wrestling Champion Kahagas will defend his HVW title against JT Flash at CCW on December 4th. We look forward to see how the HVW Champ fares against the ultra talented JT Flash.

Then in less than two weeks on December 12th Mark Sterling and Jeremy Wyatt will travel for the first time ever at CCW’s annual Hardcore Holiday. CCW is one of the top promotions in Florida and when they looked for the best in the Midwest they quickly signed the impact players known as the Kansas City Killers.

It won’t be easy for the Midwest Superstars. Title vs. title will be on the line when NWA Central States Champion Mark Sterling takes on SEC Champion Pablo Marquez. Marquez is one of the most talented and respected wrestlers in Florida. Marquez has come off two successful tours of Spain and is a true threat to the Central States Champion.

Jeremy Wyatt will be tested against Bobby Sanford. Sanford is electrifying and will bring energy and high flying moves to take down “The Rebel” in his CCW debut. Sanford will be dangerous for Wyatt as he mixes speed with power to beat his opponent.

Also on the card CCW Ladies Champ Santana G will return to CCW on the same card in a Ladies elimination match with Jessika Haze, Isls the Amazon and Betsy Ruth.
