United States Pro Wrestling- Cornellverse 2014

[branana06]

Welcome To United States Pro Wrestling

Home Of Old Guys, Older Philosophies, And....

AMERICA!!!!!

... Is what their slogan should be. Realisticly Sam Strong says that USPW is the best pro wrestling in the US today, but being the businessman that I am, I'd rather watch anything else. That is why he called me in. Because I am the legendary Rip Chord.

For the 11 people who may not know, I was one of THE top two wrestlers in the 80s and 90s (along with my now buddy Sam Strong). While Sam was the heavyweight who always put on sh*t matches, I was the one busting my ass night after night, becoming wrestler of the year 4 times, but there was only one problem. Alcohol.

First I was in SWF (For Many Years Has Been And Still Is The #1 Company), then HGC (Now TCW) (The number 2 company of the world). Of course after your match you would go the bar and have a beer or two, you might lose your spot if you didn't. But then I kept getting older and my body was broken down, I kept drinking a little more and a little more, and I was becoming an old, washed up, alcoholic bum night after night. I was top of the company, but I was drunk every night, and even worse by morning. I eventually called it quits in 2005, at the age of 55, after I thought I'd had preserved my skills, I actually rapidly diminished them. That was the day I went to rehab and finally gained my sobriety, and I am proud to say after 8 and a half years I have been clean since.

I started my own company, MAW, in 2005 once I got out of rehab, using my amazing knowledge on the art of wrestling to help train the newcomers. However, Sam Strong came calling, and he needed me to be the head of the booking committee and head trainer of USPW.  Therefore, I left MAW to my longtime friend Sam Keith, and this begins my journey. Hopefully with my help, USPW will go from third to first. It's going to be a feat, but we've got to hold on to what we've got. It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not. It doesn't matter if we sink, as long as we go down in a blaze of glory.

I am Rip Chord, and I am back.



(OOC: I'm starting a Cornellverse thread so I can get some people into it. This is only one company out of like 55 in the Cverse, but as I never really gave USPW a chance I decided I would get into it while you guys get into it. There will be a full roster review soon, thanks for reading!)

USPW ROSTER OVERVIEW


PART 1 - MAIN EVENTERS

Bruce The Giant, 42, let's see, his knees are absoulete sh*t, he can't work that well, but damn is he popular. He's 7'4 and 600 lbs, and he's been all over the world, US, Japan, you name it, and everywhere he's gone he's won titles. He used to only wrestle occasionally for the past 3 or 4 years, but he's looking for one more good run before retirement. 



Enygma, 38, A complete mystery, no one in the fed has ever seen him without his mask on, and I heard he even has sex with his mask on. His identity is truly a secret, no fans or others in the business would recognize him with his mask off. Nonetheless, he can go in the ring, has a good mysterious gimmick, and has a couple good years left in him, so he should do well.



James Justice, 43, pretty average in the ring, decent brawler, but great entertainer and great southern hippie gimmick which the fans love. He's past his prime now, so expect him to be built up, and then give his momentum to someone lower on the card.



Jumbo Jackson, 38, pretty garbage in the ring, 300+ pound heavyweight, played a goofy gimmick in SWF, now he's here as a monster heel, which we have lots of, and several better ones than Jumbo, so he'll probably slowly transition more to the midcard.




Nicky Champion, 29, one of the only saving graces on the roster, good brawler, but can do chain wrestling and other stuff without flopping completely. Young, great mic skills, Native American gimmick, protege of Sam, 3-time World champion, expect him to get the push of a lifetime.




Tyson Baine 42, believe it or not, Baine's actually really valuable member of the roster. Solid in-ring worker, even at 380 pounds, great demonic gimmick, current world champion, still at peak level so we have a couple years before in-ring work starts to suffer. Expect Baine to do really good here.

USPW ROSTER OVERVIEW

Part 2 - Upper Midcarders


(Sidenote: Now that I have a working laptop again I'll be able to add in the game's description on workers with a few minor tweaks, instead of writing my own)

 Chris Caulfield, 39, "The Hardcore American" Chris Caulfield is a decent brawler who is best known for his run as one of the icons of DAVE (Cverse equivalent of ECW). He was brought into the company when his good friend Phil Vibert became the owner, and he went on to become one of the most popular members of the roster, with the fans appreciating his loyalty and work ethic. Not a great worker by any means, he managed to win the DAVE Unified title on a few occasions - however, the reigns were all short and mainly used for transitional purposes. When financial pressures finally put an end to DAVE's rise, Chris was left without a job, but that situation was soon rectified when Sam Strong personally handled the negotiations to bring him into USPW, a sign of how much he respected Caulfield's work ethic and loyalty.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: Not a great worker, but fun gimmick, so expect him to stay relatively where he is.)

Mick Muscles, 38, The former body builder Mick Muscles is a heavyweight wrestler from Vermont who is noted for his power and chiseled physique. Throughout his career he has been considered to be a star-in-waiting, but it has never really happened, possibly due to the fact that he is fairly bland and lacks that magic "X factor" ingredient. In 2006 he captured the USPW world title and it looked like it may be the start of something, but he lost it very quickly. In late 2006 he was teamed up with Danny Rushmore as The Towers Of Power, in the hope that they would turn into a dominant monster heel tag team - multiple tag team title reigns would suggest that it worked pretty well. The Towers have become one of USPW's most reliable midcard acts.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: Pretty bad, but in a good tag team, so he'll probably be focused there for a while.)

Peter Valentine, 50, Now's where the sh*t really starts. Peter Valentine is the man everyone loves to hate. The former body builder was brought straight into Total Championship Wrestling by his close friend Sam Strong, without having to pay any dues first, and despite being absolutely awful in the ring he went on to win many titles and be one of the company's biggest stars thanks to Strong's influence. In 2006, having spent a year struggling in TCW without any political allies to help him, he left to join USPW, which just happened to have recently been taken over by Sam Strong. Despite still sucking, he has continued to command a position high up on the roster. In 2009, the company even brought back the USPW National title from wherever dead titles go to rest in peace, specifically so that Valentine could win it.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: He is an *sshole in real life, he can barely throw a punch, he will be jobbed until he can't no more and then get his ass out of the company.)


 The Force, 39, Face-painted powerhouse Jim Force is a former national champion bodybuilder who first came to attention with the SWF in the 1990s, winning two North American titles and coming very close to the world title on several occasions. He was eventually released in 2000 when even the great SWF booking team of that era could no longer hide the fact that his in-ring skills were sub par compared to the rest of the roster. Force wound up signing for USPW in 2002, which is where he first debuted his now-trademark face-paint look. Thanks to his SWF exposure he was instantly promoted as one of the promotion's biggest names and became a multi-time champion very quickly. In 2009, having slipped down the pecking order a little, he reinvented himself as The Force, debuting more modern attire and a more intense ring style.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: Again, he's pretty bad, so expect him to be downgraded.)


T-Rex, 38 , T-Rex, "The Jurassic Power", is a massive wrestler who is absolutely loaded with menace. Pretty much the very definition of a monster heel, he made his pro debut for DAVE in 1998, but at that point was so poor in the ring that the company's management shoved him into a ringside bodyguard role until he improved. Rex left DAVE in 2004 to join USPW, seeking a fresh start, knowing that USPW was traditionally a promotion where big men were well promoted. Although he is still very limited in the ring even after over a decade of in-ring experience, this has not stopped him becoming one of USPW's major heels, and he is a former USPW champion.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: Once again, another guy who is complete sh*t, but he is really scary, and is aligned with Baine, so we'll unfortunately have to use him a little bit.)

USPW ROSTER OVERVIEW

PART 3- MIDCARDERS

Andre Jones, 28, Andre Jones is a wrestler from North Dakota who is best known for his time with the Supreme Wrestling Federation, who he joined in 2004 as a rookie. Originally a bland babyface curtain-jerker, he began to show more character when he became The Guru's lackey and chief interference runner. That relationship ended toward the end of 2006 when Jones switched allegiances to become the silent muscle backing up Frederique Antonio Garcia. Apparently unhappy at chiefly being used as a lackey and rarely pushed as a serious in-ring competitor, Jones asked for his release in late 2008. In April 2009 he resurfaced, having signed for Sam Strong's fast-rising USPW promotion, and by the end of the year had won his first major title, the USPW Television belt.


(Rip Chord's thoughts: Good worker, bland gimmick, but definitely has potential. He'll slowly rise up.)


 D.C. Rayne, 30, "The Storm" D.C. Rayne is a solid wrestler from Louisiana who is well known as one half of the excellent tag team Natural Storm, working alongside Eddie Howard. The team was originally put together in Rip Chord's Mid Atlantic Wrestling, and went on to become two-time tag team champions before heading for Puerto Rico's FCW in late 2007. Natural Storm would take another two sets of tag team titles FCW and continue to make a strong name for themselves with their performances - this led to them being signed by USPW in 2011. They are now widely regarded as one of the best tag teams currently working in North America, a fact they have cemented by adding two sets of USPW tag gold to their account.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: solid all rounder, great tag team, perfectly suited for the midcard, which is where they'll both stay for now.)


 Danny Rushmore, 43, Danny "The Mountain" Rushmore is an old-school powerhouse, using his strength and size to beat down opponents with low-risk attacks. He's not a bad worker by any means, but he is pretty bland, which explains why he has spent most of his career strictly as a midcarder. In late 2006, as part of USPW's "rebirth", he was teamed up with Mick Muscles as The Towers Of Power in the hope that they would gel together and become a dominant monster tag team - the strategy worked, as they have gone on to become a superb duo, winning the USPW tag titles on multiple occasions and becoming one of the promotion's most reliable acts.


(Rip Chord's thoughts: He's ok, I've seen better, age is showing a little bit, but his tag team will keep him around for a while.)


 Freddie Datsun, 44, "American Everyman" Freddie Datsun is a hard working and dependable wrestler who strangely never seems to get the credit he deserves for everything he has achieved and helped to build in the wrestling industry - for example, few remember that he was a key figure in establishing DAVE. Freddie is best known for his six years with the Supreme Wrestling Federation, where he had some memorable matches and angles. He left them in 2006 when his contract wasn't renewed, and was quickly snapped up by USPW, where he won the world title almost immediately. He has since fallen to his seemingly more natural position in the midcard as bigger stars have been brought in, but remains successful - he is one of the few men to have won every single USPW title available.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: He's a surprisingly good worker, still going strong because of being relatively injury free, but now that he's almost 45 he won't be getting pushed very much, which is a shame, because he's always been undervalued.)

 Java, 41, Java is an ultra-menacing 300lb+ heavyweight brawler who was born in Indonesia, but was brought up on the mean streets of Chicago. He has never been a particularly great in-ring talent, but his size and genuinely scary appearance have meant he has always been able to get work. He is most closely associated with USPW, where he has been working since 2002 and has formed an excellent and successful tag team with Tribal Warrior, but many people don't know that he was one of PGHW's big foreign draws in the late 1990s, and actually has wins over Mito Miwa and Shuji Inukai to his name.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: Old, boring, pretty bad at wrestling, but we need tag teams, so he'll stay where he is.)


 Krusher Karloff, 43, Krusher Karloff is a massive heavyweight brawler who is also well known under his previous identity, Billy Jack Shearer. He originally came to fame with PPW under his Karloff identity, where the Russian monster was the company's main heel and three-time champion. From there he woud head to TCW, where as Billy Jack Shearer, the drummer in the popular Painful Procedure band \ stable, he would find fame. Released from his lucrative contract in 2009, he would next turn up in USPW in late 2010, this time back under his Krusher Karloff gimmick, and he has quickly settled into his role as a monster heel in Sam Strong's land of giants.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: Old, sh*tty in the ring, but part of a good tag team... Noticing a pattern here)


 Petr Novak, 32, Petr Novak is a massive 6'9, 390lb powerhouse who used to be known as The Big Problem. He made his pro debut for New York City Wrestling in 2003 under his previous identity, and the general feeling was that they had a potential star on their hands given that he was a huge man who actually had both charisma and decent skills. Unfortunately, he was never able to match that hype, and was soon downgraded from rising singles star to midcard tag wrestler, teaming with Land Mass. He was released in 2006, labelled by Internet users everywhere as "The Big Flop". Perhaps surprisingly, USPW signed him in early 2010 - rumour has it that Sam Strong himself was behind the move, believing that a star could still be made if booked correctly. The first step was rebranding him - the Czech destroyer Petr Novak was thus born, playing on his real-life Eastern European heritage.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: He's not amazing, but good enough to have a decent match, and he has a decent gimmick going, so he might be going up once his tag partner Krusher Karloff goes down.)


 Tribal Warrior, 41,  The Tribal Warrior is a Samoan powerhouse, rumoured to be one of the strongest men in pro wrestling. He is a throwback to the monster heels of old, dominating opponents with viciousness and raw strength, and that has kept him in regular work since his debut in 1990. He is best known in America for his work with USPW, where he has been a long time partner of the equally scary Java - perhaps the most genuinely bad ass duo in the history of pro wrestling - and had huge success in the tag team ranks, but he also made lots of appearances in Japan over the course of his career, usually on tour with BHOTWG.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: Slightly better than Java, but still average at best. He's starting an early decline so it'll only get worse from here, which scares me.)

USPW ROSTER OVERVIEW 

PART 4- LOWER MIDCARDERS

 Casey Valentine, 25, "Cool Hand" Casey Valentine is the nephew of Peter Valentine, although he was actually trained by the legendary Rip Chord as a favour for his uncle, and it is Chord who has the biggest hand in guiding the youngster's career. A decent all-round worker, Casey is a pretty good prospect, and with his connections should go far in the business. Given his close relationship with Rip Chord, it surprised nobody when he became a regular on the MAW roster toward the end of 2007. He became a major part of the promotion, particularly as part of the great tag team C-V-2 which he formed with "The Second Generation Superstar" Cameron Vessey. After a successful five year run with MAW, Casey signed with USPW in 2013 where he was quickly aligned with his uncle Peter. 

(Rip Chord's thoughts: He's young, he has good skills, and loads of potential. He'll do much better than his uncle, and will definitely get a slow build up to the main event someday.)


 Charlie Thatcher, 38, "The Insurance Policy" Charlie Thatcher stands at six feet and seven inches, and weighs in at 324lb of mostly muscle; it is that impressive stature that has seen him able to stay in work for most of his career despite his limited in-ring skills. Thatcher is best known for his time with Total Championship Wrestling; at first he was almost exclusively used as a silent bodyguard for other wrestlers, but gradually became more and more active in the ring. He was released in late 2010 to make way for new talent, but was only out of work a matter of months before becoming yet another massive heavyweight signed by USPW.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: Honestly, he'll probably just become a bodyguard for someone better, like a Casey or an Andre Jones. Can't work worth sh*t, so he probably won't wrestle that much.)


 Eddie Howard, 28, "The Natural" Eddie Howard is a young powerhouse who has become nationally known as one half of the excellent Natural Storm tag team alongside D.C. Rayne. First breaking in to the sport as part of the original MAW roster, Natural Storm racked up two tag team title reigns before heading to FCW in Puerto Rico where they added a further pair of belts to their trophy cabinet. With a growing reputation for strong performances, it was no surprise when USPW came calling, signing the pair to their roster in early 2011. Natural Storm have gone on to add yet another double-helping of tag team gold to their collective resume.


(Rip Chord's thoughts: Good worker, works with D.C., so he'll do well in the tag division.)

 Giant Redwood, 48, Giant Redwood (Jethro J Jonas) is a monsterous 465lb, seven foot behemoth, whose size almost makes up for his utter lack of talent in the ring. Almost. Redwood is well known throughout the wrestling world as one of the meanest, most devious men in the business, and a master of using politics to his advantage. He has been a fixture in USPW since its debut in 2001, and is a three time world champion - many are quick to point out that business was statistically much worse for the promotion during these title reigns. In recent years he has finally begun to slip down the card, as even his infamous politics can't hide the fact that age and recurring knee injuries have taken their toll.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: For f***'s sake, this guy makes Peter Valentine look like a million bucks. He legitimately gets blown up before he even gets to the ring, he should never have been past the enhancement level, let alone multi-time world champ. He has only wrestled outside of USPW, on a fateful day in 2002, in which the suicide rate in that town tripled that night, with many people feeling a sense of despair and numbness (Source: New York police department). His attitude sucks, he is garbage, and he'll most likely be gone in the first three months.

USPW ROSTER OVERVIEW

PART 5- THE REST OF THE JABRONIS

 Atlas, 28, When Atlas first came into pro wrestling he was a struggling independent worker going by the name of "Big Dog" Josh Nash. He got his first break when he joined Rip Chord's MAW in 2005, where he was renamed and given time to develop as a worker, mainly as part of the Gods Of Thunder tag team with Titan. Making great strides as a worker, he caught the eye of SWF scouts and was signed to a development contract to work for their RIPW feeder league. A former RIPW champion, he spent the latter part of his RIPW career treading water waiting for SWF to either call him up or cut him loose - sadly for him, it was the latter. Still, it may have been a blessing in disguise, as just a few months later he was picked up by USPW.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: He's young, he's ok, he might be something better, but he still needs to prove himself before he gets pushed.)


 Darryl Devine, 30, "Mighty Fine" Darryl Devine is a good solid wrestler from Seattle. Making his pro debut in 2003, it took him less than a year of show-stealing performances on the independent circuit to get people interested in him. He then became a regular both with United States Pro Wrestling and Canadian Charisma Championship Combat, giving him exposure on both sides of the border. In 2008 he prioritised, choosing to work solely for the much bigger USPW. He has been a solid worker for USPW, but has been consistently held back by his lack of size (at 230lbs he is often giving up huge amounts of weight in Sam Strong's 'land of the giants') and his chronic injury proneness.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: He's a good worker, still has good potential, so he'll get pushed at least to midcard status.)



 Dusty Ducont, 29, "Dirty" Dusty Ducont is a massive Canadian wrestler whose burly 6'8 physique tips the scales at over 380lbs. Originally working under the name Dusty Bin, he found little success despite his huge size - simply too slow and clumsy, he was virtually black-balled from the Toronto independent circuit due to the amount of injuries he was causing. After heading south and spending a year working at the Piledriver School Of Wrestling in order to tighten his skills, he returned to working the independent circuit but under his new ring name. His efforts were rewarded when he was signed by USPW in August 2010.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: He's decent for a big guy, but doesn't have the spark to be a star. He'll probably linger around the lower reaches of the card.)



 Running Wolf, 26, Running Wolf is a young Native American wrestler who first started making appearances on the independent circuit in 2008. The 6'6 290lber is a natural athlete who boasts a good well-muscled physique and clean-cut appearance. Still green, he has the potential to be a good worker and big star in the future. He was hired by USPW in 2011 for his first opportunity to make a name for himself.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: He's a good worker with an interesting gimmick, but he has some work to do before he gets a big push.)

USPW ROSTER OVERVIEW

Part 6- Women's Division

 Alicia Strong, 27, Alicia Strong certainly hasn't had to come up the hard way in the wrestling business; the daughter of the best known wrestler of all time, Sam Strong, she has all the right connections, and those connections allowed her to get exclusive training in Japan from the greatest female wrestler of all time, Sensational Ogiwara. The result is that Alicia has every advantage possible as she looks to become the best women's wrestler ever. Naturally, when she was ready to make her pro debut in April 2007, Sam Strong pulled out all the stops - not only did he sign her to a contract with his USPW promotion, he also created an entire womens division for her to compete in. The division has gone on to become a great success with fans, and Alicia seems well on her way to stardom.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: She's an amazing wrestler, much better then Sam ever was, and she will be the obvious big star of the womens division.)



 Belle Bryden, 38, The veteran wrestler Belle Bryden, who for many years wrestled as Wanda "The Dish" Fish, is one of the best all-rounders in the world of women's wrestling. She was a major player with the Angel Athletic Association for many years, racking up five separate Femme Fatale titles and headlining scores of shows. The reasons for her success are clear; she is the complete package as far as wrestling goes, having a great look, fine skills, a strong work ethic, and fantastic microphone skills. In August 2008 she was offered a lucrative and long-term contract by USPW, who were convinced that she was the missing ingredient in giving them a top quality women's division, which she signed. She has been working under the name Belle Bryden since.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: She's a great technical worker, one of the best female heels ever, but she's 38, and probably is looking to wind down her career.)



 Cherry Bomb, 37, The Canadian wrestler Cherry Bomb, whose real name is Sherie Guthrie, is an athletic competitor, noted for her hard-hitting style and great look. Short and muscular, she uses her low center of gravity to allow her to suplex much bigger women with apparent ease. She is especially famous for her psychotic interviews, which are as good as anybody in the business. Cherry was one of AAA's mainstays for many years, wrestling for them from 2003 to 2007, before leaving them to become one of the founding members of USPW's new womens division, where she has since established herself as the cornerstone of the division.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: Cherry Bomb is a decent wrestler, hard hitting, amazing psycho gimmick, but once again, age is starting to become a factor.)



 Gorgon, 33, Alison "Gorgon" Rush is a powerhouse wrestler from Missouri who is known for her distinctive face paint. She broke into the business with the Angel Athletic Association, debuting in mid 2003, and it didn't take long for her to make an impact, winning the tag team straps with Cherry Bomb as her partner within months. The reputation she built with AAA meant that 5SSW became interested, and she had a good few years of touring with them before the slump in business in Japan meant that they could no longer afford to fly her over. She quit AAA in 2010, jumping ship to the USPW women's division.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: She's a pretty average worker, supposed to be the monster heel of the womens division, but she can't go that well and so will probably lose to some new arrivals in the womens division.)



 Melody, 33, Melody (who used to use her surname Cuthill too) is an experienced worker who is best known for her time in NOTBPW. Joining in 2006 as part of a revamp of the women's division, Melody went on to be the main focus and four-time champion before her departure in late 2010 to join USPW. She made an instant impact on USPW, with her debut seeing her beating main star Alicia Strong cleanly by pinfall to win the Womens title.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: Good wrestler, but will always be slightly outshined by Alicia. Nonetheless, she's a former womens champion, and probably will get it sometime again.)



 Miss American Pie, 27, "American Woman" Lora Washington is a Florida wrestler who was trained by AAA but never made it to the full roster. Surprisingly she eventually turned up on the BSC roster, using the gimmicky name "Miss American Pie", as part of the promotion's attempt to add more actual wrestling to their shows. She managed to teach some of the girls some decent skills, but ultimately it was a futile attempt as the promotion went out of business in November 2012. Her efforts had got her noticed by USPW however, and she joined them a few months later, again as Miss American Pie.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: She's not that great, but she's young and hot, so she'll get airtime.)



 Raven Robinson, 37, "The Angel Of The Dark" Raven Nightfall (Louisa Robinson) is one of the top female workers in North America. She originally came to fame with AAA, where over the course of nine years she became one of their biggest stars, and such was her success and appeal that USPW came calling in 2009 and signed her up to an exclusive deal to be part of their women's division; when in USPW, she uses the ring name Raven Robinson. A competent, solid performer in the ring, what gives Raven the edge is that she has a fantastic look and can play the crowd to perfection as either a face or heel. 

(Rip Chord's thoughts: She's a good wrestler, but her heel gimmick is way better...)



 Tiffany Jade, 24, Tiffany Jade is a young Canadian wrestler who came through the AAA Cat's Lair training camp. Graduating directly onto the main AAA roster in August 2010, Jade's blend of martial arts strikes and chain wrestling quickly made her stand out as a potential future star. USPW clearly agreed, as they signed her in 2012 to be part of their women's division.

(Rip Chord's thoughts: She's average in the ring, but has the potential to get better, so she'll probably eat some losses for now.)

Ladies And Gentlemen...

Welcome To...



Get Ready for a complete night of action, live from Dallas, Texas!!!

Tonight we see the first USPW title match of 2014, which sees Danny "The Mountain" Rushmore battle "Cool Hand" Casey Valentine for the USPW Television title!

Also tonight, in our main event, we see the in-ring return of Bruce The Giant as he wrestles for the first time in almost a year and a half against USPW's brightest star, "Hawkeye" Nicky Champion!!!

Match #1 - Natural Storm (DC Rayne and Eddie Howard) vs The Cold Warriors (Krusher Karloff and Petr Novak)

For years the devastating Titans were the most feared tag team in USPW, until November 2010 when Petr Novak aligned with Krusher Karloff to form the Cold Warriors, current and two time USPW tag team champions. Both men march out to the ring, as the sound of the Russian national anthem fill the arena almost as loud as the fans fill the arena with choruses of boos for the foreign stars. Karloff and Novak stare into the camera with ice-cold blue eyes, Karloff wearing his black trunks with "Krusher in Red, White, and Blue on the ass, Novak with his signature blue boxing shorts with "Petr" on one side and "Novak" on the other. The mood instantly changes however, when the fast paced disco music hits as Rayne and Howard, with their matching dark blue tights filled with their logos. They are clearly fired up and ready to go, but the Cold Warriors will pose quite a challenge.

Karloff and Rayne start in the ring. Rayne ducks two quick clotheslines and answers with a swift dropkick, but Karloff doesn't move. Karloff answers with a big kick of his own, but this one is much more simple, a foot right to the skull which sends DC Rayne collapsing to the mat. Karloff waits a good amount of time for Rayne to get up. Karloff whips Rayne into a neutral corner, but before he can do anything Rayne hits the buckles chest first and crashes to the canvas. Karloff starts to nail Rayne with some stomps, but eventually just gets bored and tags in Novak. Unlike Karloff, Novak is much more aggressive, and he immediately takes to DC Rayne, powerslam, splash, backbreaker. Rayne spends some more time lying on the mat while Novak tags back in to Karloff to finish the job, and right when Karloff goes to hit his finisher, the Kremlin Krush (Full Nelson backbreaker) Rayne pushes off the top rope and knocks Karloff completely over, which sparks a fire in DC as he quickly tags out to his partner, Eddie Howard. Howard comes in like a house of fire, throwing every strike he knows at Karloff. He tries to hit the Crash and Burn (Twisting Powerslam, but Karloff falls on him, and gets the 3 count due to DC Rayne not being able to recover in time.


Match #2 - James Justice vs Peter Valentine

Similar to the last match, the crowd immediately starts booing when the low bass of Peter Valentine's theme starts, a song almost as depressing as the man himself. Valentine is wearing his plain black trunks as tradition in his USPW career. He saunters to the ring like he's hot sh*t and poses his crowd, showing off his now slightly flabby biceps. Valentine stares intensely at the stage as the country rock anthem that has infected thousands of USPW fans. He comes to the crowd in his trademark tye dye tights, with his now slightly graying blonde hair. He takes his time making his way to the ring, making sure to shake hands with every fan and take every selfie. 

Both men stare each other down, Valentine visibly more intense than Justice, who likes to take his time and not rush during his matches, Valentine shoves Justice into the corner, but Justice has none of it and simply connects his fists to Petey's face, which sends Petey down to the mat. Petey is able to evade a knee drop, which sends Justice down. Petey slows things down by hitting a couple forearm blows and a big legdrop. Petey of course plays to the crowd before going for his next manuever, which gives Justice an opening to counter with a big clothesline. Justice then hits a big suplex on Valentine, which clearly took a lot of strength to muster up. Justice is able to wear Petey down with strikes for a while, before mustering up enough strength for another suplex, and then a huge spinning back fist which he calls the Fist of Justice, before hitting his trademark finisher, the Liberation Slam (Running Powerslam) for the pin and win.

Match #3 - Alicia Strong and Melody vs Belle Bryden and Gorgon


COMING SOON!
