TNA Superstar Auctions
Costume to Help Inner-City Youth
(Tampa, FL) – TNA (Total Nonstop Action) Wrestling superstar Awesome Kong is making an
unprecedented effort to help inner-city youth.
The dynamic pro wrestler is
planning to auction off the primary costume/outfit that she’s been
wearing for the past four years, in order to raise funds for her nonprofit
organization.
Kong’s “Fountains
for Youth” aims to begin launching programs designed to make
today’s teens aware of high-risk concerns like drugs, teen pregnancy,
high school dropouts, etc.
“It’s a
peer-to-peer kind of program,” Awesome Kong said recently.
The first program that
“Fountains for Youth” hopes to launch is an outreach group called
STAHR, which stands for Somebody’s Talking About High Risk.
The first step is the
auction, in which Awesome Kong will, through eBay, put up for bid the very same
outfit (gloves and boots not included) that has seen her through the biggest
matches of her explosive career.
“It’s been with
me for almost five years, but I’m willing to part with it in order to
raise money for my organization’s mission,” she said.
Industry observers say that
such an auction hasn’t been done before.
“Every program that we
will launch will be a ‘fountain’ of knowledge for kids,” Kong
said in explaining the origin of the “Fountains for Youth” moniker.
Kong said the STAHR program
will involve kids being matched with professionals in the world of video
production and media, so that the youths will be able to create and produce
their own public service announcements (PSAs).
The PSAs will then be shown
to the teens’ peers, to help spread the word about various high-risk
situations that they or their friends may encounter.
“I want to create a
buzz about this,” Kong said, “because I’m very proud of what
these kids are going to be doing.”

titles 3 separate times , twice with Spike Dudley and once with Masato Tanaka.
After ECW folded, Balls spent time in a number of independent federations
across America, most notably USA Pro Wrestling (UXW). In 2006 when the WWE
restarted ECW Balls was one of the first ECW Originals signed and Balls started
his WWE/ECW career by feuding with Kevin Thorn, The Miz, Matt Striker, Big

mystery partner at Clash of the Champions XXI on November
18, 1992. He also had a brief reign as World Tag Team Champion with Marcus
Bagwell in October 1993. In 1994 he debuted in ECW, where he had four reigns as World Television Champion and one reign as World Tag Team Champion with The
Sandman. During his simultaneous reign as Television and Tag Team Champion,
he insisted on being referred to as 2 Gold Scorpio. He had feuds with wrestlers such as Taz, Shane
Douglas, Sabu, and Mikey
Whipwreck. Scorpio made his WWF debut on November 17 at Survivor Series under the name Flash Funk.
During his time there, his gimmick involved dancing, wearing a zoot suit,
and being accompanied to the ring by his "Fly Girls" or
"Funkettes" (years before the WWF would debut an admitted pimp, The Godfather, who was accompanied by his
"hoes"). He later reverted to the Scorpio name teaming with WCW
teammate and friend Ron Simmons as well as Terry Funk
through most of 1998. He would soon after become a member of Al Snow's J.O.B.
Squad.
In 1990 Pro Wrestling would never be the same as Big Vito Lograsso
made his pro wrestling debut and entering ECW as Skull Von Krush and becoming
on of the Baldies and feuding right off the bat with New Jack. Vito then went
to WCW where he teamed with Johnny The Bull to form the Mamalukes and win the
WCW tag team titles twice and Vito also won the WCW Hardcore title in 2005 Vito
entered the WWE and started teaming with Nunzio.Various wrestlers such as Orlando
Jordan and Paul Burchill began approaching Nunzio in backstage
situations and spreading rumors that they had, in storyline, seen Vito in
public places in various forms of cross-dress.Nunzio originally
wouldn't hear of any such thing until the June 2 SmackDown! when Vito
came down the ramp, in a dress, to collect Nunzio after losing a match. The
next week, after arguing about Vito's clothing choices, the two former friends
faced each other in a match which Vito won after hitting Nunzio with The Code of Silence. Not long after,
Nunzio joined the ECW brand, leaving Vito on SmackDown! alone.

Rhodes and Rick Rude. A few years later he entered the AWA feuding with Wahoo
McDaniel after he attacked Wahoo and destroyed his headdress. The two
veterans, who had feuded briefly in the NWA, engaged in an "Indian Strap
Match" at the AWA pay-per-view Super Clash III. The match was so bloody
and violent that ESPN,
who had the AWA television contract at the time, would not air the match, and
has not to this day. Fernandez spent 3 years playing for the Kansas City

Reality Star Matt Riviera
Makes Strong Bid to Join New Trump Show; Still in Talks for New Projects
(Tampa, FL) --- Matt Riviera,
pro wrestler/Reality TV star and movie actor/producer, is closer to his next
big project after a near-miss involving billionaire Donald Trump’s new
Reality/dating show.
Riviera made it to the final
20 men considered for Trump’s new “The Ultimate Merger,” a
dating show designed to find a bachelor for a female star, rumored to be
Omarosa from Trump’s “The Apprentice.” Twelve men were
ultimately chosen to be contestants.
But that’s OK, because
Riviera’s experience vying for the “Merger” show, which
included a trip to Las Vegas, has only helped his other pursuits.
“I’ve been in
talks with Reality TV and Hollywood producers about new projects featuring
me,” Riviera said recently upon returning from Las Vegas. “Making
it as far as I did for the Trump show didn’t hurt those talks at
all.”
Riviera added that the new
projects are both Reality and non-Reality in nature.
Riviera appeared on
VH1’s “Megan Wants a Millionaire” over the
summer—another show featuring men vying for a woman’s heart.
Riviera has had a very busy
and productive 2009 because of all his endeavors in the entertainment and pro
wrestling industries. He did the VH1 show, has participated in several pro
wrestling shows—including a very successful charity event—and
starred in and co-produced a new movie.
“It’s an exciting
time,” Riviera said. “Interest in me is high and I’m weighing
all my options at this point.”

ABOUT MATT RIVIERA
At just
26-years-old, professional wrestler Matt Riviera has lived a lifetime in just a
few short years.
Ironically, it
wasn't until he exchanged wrestling holds with Megan Hauserman (VH1's
"Rock of Love," CW's "Beauty and the Geek") that the world
took notice of his unique ability.
With an
estimated net value of more than $5.5 million, Matt was one of 17 cast members
vying for the affection of Hauserman on the VH1 reality series "Megan
Wants a Millionaire." It was during this series that Matt demonstrated his
unique ability to play to his audience, inspiring and entertaining
the VH1 crowd by playing to the very talents he
has cultivated for more than five years in the ring.
Movie roles, including serving as a deputy in the
horror film “Blood Forest“ (2009) soon followed.

Final
Four Participants named for this year’s big event.
This year’s version of the annual event will
be the 7th installment of the Tournament to honor late Florida Independent
wrestler, “The All American” Jeff Peterson. In November, 2002 IPW
Hardcore wrestler Jeff Peterson lost his battle with cancer. May 16-17, 2003
saw the beginning of the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup, a sixteen competitor cruiserweight
tournament in honor of the fallen star. Each year since the event has grown to
international levels. Previous winners include, “Reckless Youth”
Tom Carter, Justice, Chris Sabin, Milano Collection AT, Chris Hero, and Erick
Stevens.
The 2009 Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup will take
place over the course of 2 evenings, Friday November 20th, 2009 and Saturday
November 21st, 2009 at the Brooksville, Florida and Crystal River, Florida
National Guard Armories respectively.
In a new twist for this year’s event, the 16
participants for the tournament will come from 4 of the hottest independent
companies in the US, with each company entering 4 wrestlers to represent their
company. This year’s field will represent Florida’s own Full Impact
Pro Wrestling, Philadelphia’s Combat Zone Wrestling, Chicago’s AAW,
and Ohio’s Hybrid Pro Wrestling.
The final four entrants into the 2009 JPC have
been named, and come to the field from Hybrid Pro Wresting in Ohio.
Representing Hybrid will be:
1. FLIP KENDRICK 2. DAVE COLE 3. MARION FONTAINE 4. LOUIS LYNDON
This announcement completes the field and brings
the number of athletes entered to a total of 16. We will announce the first
round pairings in the coming days so stay tuned for more updates.
Tournament officials are happy to announce that
making their 3rd straight appearances as play by play and color commentators
for the DVD release of this event are Lenny Leonard and Scott Hudson.
Lenny is currently the voice of Dragon Gate USA on
PPV and DVD as well as Full Impact Pro Wrestling, while Scott is a veteran of
the Monday Night Wars and his extensive career has seen him as part of the
broadcast team for WCW on both TV and PPV.
Special VIP ticket “extra” announced!
JPC officials had informed us that as a special
added bonus for fans who purchase VIP tickets, there was to be an exclusive
preshow card featuring Pro Wrestling Riot on both evenings. The preshow card
will take place at 6:30 pm, and was to be only for those fans that had or will
purchase VIP tickets to each event. Tournament officials today have announced
that the Pro Wrestling Riot preshow card will also now be available to any
ticketholders that buy 1st row tickets for either event as well… Tickets
are moving fast so don’t miss out on this extra added bonus.
BIG non tournament match news!
In addition to the tournament matches taking place
both nights, we will have other tremendous action taking place as always.
Friday night in Brooksville will feature a very
special Tag Team Rumble.
Saturday night in Crystal River we will have our
own version of the Dragon Gate USA FRAY!
The 8 men eliminated in round 1 of the JPC will be
entered into FRAY, which will be taped for inclusion as a special bonus match
on the DVD release of Dragon Gate USA’s 11/28 Open the Freedom Gate
Tournament .
The rules of Fray are simple. There will be eight
participants. Their entry into the match will be drawn at random. The match
will start with two contestants. Every two minutes another competitor will join
Fray. Eliminations can take place at anytime by pinfall, submission or DQ.
There are no count outs. The final survivor is your winner.
Violence promises to be on tap for Night 2!
The fiery rhetoric is starting to heat up between
Ron Bass and Sean Davis in advance of their Texas Bullrope Match on night 2 of
the JPC. Both men have been trading angry comments back and forth, and when we
had the opportunity this week to check on the preparations for each man, that
didn’t change at all.
Ron Bass invited us out to his ranch in North
Hillsborough county to talk and it didn’t take long to see the veteran
tough guy means business. Bass was “back in the saddle” as it was,
riding and roping cattle before heading into the barn to throw some heavy
weights around and hit the heavy bag. It is clear Bass is taking this very
seriously, and that could spell trouble for Sean Davis. “I had heard how
Davis stuck is nose into things when I got to FIP, but I didn’t hear how
big his mouth was. Well come November 21st I’m gonna do something I
don’t think has ever been done before. I’m gonna shut that fat
windbag’s mouth…permanently.”
Sean Davis however was content to let his mouth so
his working out when we stopped by. “Old man Bass doesn’t stand a
chance against me. What is he now, like 80? Well this isn’t 1983, and
I’m no Dirty Yellow Dog. November 21st I’m gonna do to you what
they did to Old Yeller. I’m gonna take you out back, and put you out of
your misery.”

Brian
Blair’s Design to help the Homeless
--Renovation
of vacant hotel among ideas to ease pain of homeless in Hillsborough County--
Tampa, FL – Florida
State House candidate Brian Blair, continuing to offer up innovative,
aggressive ideas, has now turned his attention to the plight of Hillsborough
County’s homeless.
Blair calls it thinking “outside the box,” and
the same visionary approach that has worked wonders in developing new,
sheltered bus stops for county residents is now being applied to those who find
themselves without a roof over their heads, period.
Blair, the former county commissioner who seeks District
47’s seat in the 2010 election, has proposed renovating at least one
vacant hotel so that it may house hundreds of homeless people.
“It makes sense, across the board,” Blair said
recently. “Hotels are already equipped for sheltering people. And it
would, at the same time, help the homeless and create jobs,” he added.
Blair says the plan would entail selecting a vacant hotel
and targeting it for renovation. Then, county homeless people would be moved
in—after background checks—with attention paid to grouping them by
gender and/or families. Blair said, though, that people wouldn’t be able
to stay there indefinitely, in order to ensure that vacancies would be created
for others.
Blair says start-up funding would be asked for from the
countless agencies already working closely with the homeless, like the
Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, and others. He added that people benefiting
from the program could become “in-house” workers to help maintain
the premises, through training.
Other potential partners in such a project, Blair said,
could be natural tie-in groups like Meals on Wheels and Seniors in Service.
“It’s not that county residents don’t
feel that the homeless should have a place to stay, but the question is always,
‘Where?,’” Blair said. “Hotels are generally away from
neighborhoods and shopping centers,” he added.
Blair’s suggestion is different from the “tent
city” proposal by Catholic Charities that the Hillsborough County
Commission killed in a 4-3 vote on October 13, 2009.
Blair noted that he hopes a mechanism could be put in place
whereby local people—like those who’ve lost jobs, etc.—are
helped first.
Blair said he’s confident that he has some initial
support from within the county, encouraged by a discussion he had in 2008 with
Department of Social Services department head Dave Rogoff, who Blair said
“seemed to really like the concept.”
Blair, a Republican, announced in August that he was
seeking the State House seat for District 47, which includes portions of
Hillsborough County and will be vacated by fellow Republican Kevin Ambler in
2010. Ambler is term limited and is running for State Senate.
A silent auction will be held to benefit All Children's Hospital,
the only specialty licensed children's hospital on Florida's west coast.
The auction is being held in conjunction with the Jeff Peterson
Memorial Cup, an annual professional wrestling tournament that will take
place the weekend of November 20 and 21, 2009 at the National Guard
Armories in Brooksville and Crystal River, Florida.
The tournament honors Jeff Peterson, a promising young wrestler
who was stricken with cancer and passed away in 2002.
We are asking prominent individuals and companies to help All
Children's Hospital by donating items to be bid on during the silent auction.
Of course, each company who participates will be acknowledged
and identified during the silent auction as having donated particular items.
Donated items may be sent to: Shannon Rose, 6801 White Cliffs
Way, Tampa, FL 33625
Donated items should be received by Monday, November 16 and
should be labeled as being for the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup auctions.

New Florida Junior Heavyweight Champion
Crowned
(Tampa, FL) – This past Friday
night, October 30, in Tampa, Florida, Craig Classic became the fourth NWA Pro
Wrestling Fusion Florida Junior Heavyweight Champion by defeating Chris Jones.
Jones, who demanded this match take place after being attacked and left laying
by Classic on October 17 in Ft. Pierce, Florida, battled to the end but
eventually fell victim to the Blue Thunder Driver.
Chris Jones is going to have to wait for his
rematch because Craig Classic was offered and has accepted another tour of Big
Japan Pro Wrestling. This will be his 10th tour of Japan since 2006. Upon
receiving word of Craig's returning to Japan, he has received offers from
multiple wrestling organizations throughout Japan. Craig is planning on taking
the Florida Junior Heavyweight Title with him to defend it against any and all
junior heavyweights in Japan.
As Champion, Classic now joins Chris Jones
and former WCW World Television and Cruiserweight Champion, Prince Iaukea, as
the only men to have held the NWA Pro Wrestling Fusion Florida Junior

Model and Patriot Girls
Team Up to Help the Troops
(Tampa, FL)
--- It’s an image that harkens back to the days of World War II: posters
and photos of pinup girls plastered around soldiers’ barracks, in a tried
and true way of keeping morale high.
But in
2009, that method is being kicked up a notch. And a nationally-known pro
wrestling diva—who’s also a model and actress—is at the
forefront of the effort.
Amy Vitale,
known to men everywhere for things such as being a pro wrestling manager,
appearing in movies and on television, and being the lead spokes model for
Black Art Beer, is being branded as the face and figure of The Patriot Girls, a
national organization that means to support U.S. troops stationed overseas.
“Pinup
girls used to be just a photo on someone’s wall,” Vitale said
recently about her alliance with The Patriot Girls. “But The Patriot
Girls show that simply being attractive isn’t where our support
stops.”
Formed in
May 2007, The Patriot Girls volunteer their time to create patriotic and
military themed images and products from which they donate a portion of their
profits to charities that benefit the soldiers and their families.
It’s
not done just by posing for cameras, either. The girls host various events
nationwide, raise money with fundraising efforts, and assemble care packages
for the troops. In 2008, The Patriot Girls donated $1 from each calendar sold
to the Wounded Warrior Project.
In the
spotlight is Vitale, who’s been most recently seen on Fox News, the CW
network, on TV shows such as USA Network’s “Burn Notice,” and
most famously as part of G.L.O.R.Y. Wrestling.
“You’ll
see a lot of me—on The Patriot Girls website and elsewhere,” Vitale
confirmed. “But just like the other girls, I won’t just be there in
photos. I’ll be in the trenches, helping out—the way I prefer
it.”
No one
who’s seen Vitale strut her stuff in the pro wrestling arena will doubt
that she’s a tough girl who can do anything the men can do—and
more.

promotional, spokes model, trade, conventions, special appearances, with Amy Vitale,

Two
Former World Champions Meet
(Lake
Grove, NY) – A local mall became an impromptu meeting place of wrestling
icons when female superstar Awesome Kong joined Hulk Hogan during a book
signing.
When
Hogan saw the world champion wrestler arrive at the Barnes and Noble bookstore
in the Smith Haven Mall, he pointed to her and proclaimed, “I’m a
BIG fan of yours!”
The
two megastars then posed together, spoke, and then it was Awesome Kong’s
turn to talk—specifically about Hogan signing with TNA, announced Tuesday
in New York City.
“I’m
very excited to have Hulk join me at TNA,” she said about the wrestling
and entertainment empire that airs its shows on Spike TV.
Awesome
Kong is widely recognized within the industry as a wrestler with huge star
power and overwhelming tenacity and ferocity.
“This
is a great day for me, and a great day for TNA,” Awesome Kong said about
both appearing at the book signing and Hogan being brought into the fold.
The
crowd at the book signing was awestruck and riveted as they watched the two
high octane stars talk and share some private moments while photographers
snapped pictures frantically.
Awesome
Kong, a world champion wrestler and superstar in TNA, NWA, and American
Wrestling Association (AWA) wrestling, is one of the most dynamic personalities
in the sport today.
Pro
wrestling and entertainment observers believe that not only is Awesome Kong
among the most scintillating figures in the sport today, but that she is likely
to maintain that status well into the future.

Multi-Millionaire
Matt Riviera Discussing Potential TV Series
(Russellville,
AR) – Matt Riviera, fresh off a summer and early fall in which he’s
produced and starred in a movie and appeared on a successful VH1 Reality TV
show, is proving to only be scratching the surface.
Riviera, a
multi-millionaire whose net worth has been pegged at over $5 million, is in
discussions currently with various Hollywood and TV producers about launching
his own reality TV show or Network TV Show, among other projects.
“Lots
of coals on the fire right now,” Riviera told the media recently.
“As soon as there’s something concrete to announce, I will.”
Riviera has
been hotly sought after in 2009, mainly due to his exuberant personality, his
natural love affair with the camera as demonstrated on VH1, and his big time
success in professional wrestling.
“There’s
just something about when the attention is focused on me,” Riviera has
explained about his allure. “I ‘turn on,’ and the
viewers—especially the female ones—seem to gravitate toward
that.”
Riviera—and
his spacious home—have been seen most recently on video on a unique
version of “Cribs” that he created.
His website,
www.MattRiviera.com, is where fans
can go to order copies of “Blood Forest: Legend of the Cave Tribe,”
a movie that Riviera helped produce and stars in.
“I’ve
been approached by a number of people recently—producers, agents,
screenwriters—who want to talk about reality shows and other projects
involving me,” Riviera said. “It’s an exciting time to be
Matt Riviera!”
Riviera has
parlayed his bourgeoning career into a successful, budding entity that
observers say can be a major player in the entertainment industry very soon.
Riviera’s
turn into the public consciousness was accelerated when he starred in
“Megan Wants a Millionaire” this summer on VH1. The reality show
featured a number of millionaires vying for the heart of Reality TV vixen Megan
Hauserman.

ABOUT
MATT RIVIERA
At just 26-years-old, professional wrestler Matt Riviera has lived
a lifetime in just a few short years.
Ironically, it wasn't until he exchanged wrestling
holds with Megan Hauserman (VH1's "Rock of Love," CW's "Beauty
and the Geek") that the world took notice of his unique ability.
With an estimated net value of more than $5.5 million, Matt was
one of 17 cast members vying for the affection of Hauserman on the VH1 reality
series "Megan Wants a Millionaire." It was during this series that
Matt demonstrated his unique ability to play to his audience, inspiring and
entertaining the VH1 crowd by playing to the very
talents he has cultivated for more than five years in the ring.
Movie roles, including serving as a deputy in the
horror film “Blood Forest“ (2009) soon followed.

Florida State House Candidate Specializes
in Keeping Money in Taxpayers’ Pockets
-- Hillsborough
County residents enjoyed largest ad valorem tax cut in county history --
Tampa, FL –
Florida State House candidate Brian Blair keeps it simple when it comes to
talking about his accomplishments as a Hillsborough County Commissioner.
“Tax cuts. Fiscal responsibility. And not taking no
for an answer too easily,” Blair said recently as he spoke of his
qualifications for the Florida State House seat that he seeks in 2010.
Blair served as County Commissioner for District 6 from
2004-08, and in that time frame his accomplishments shared the underlying theme
of saving taxpayers money and being persistent.
On Blair’s watch, the county achieved its largest ad
valorem tax cut in its history, part of a four-year term which resulted in a savings
for taxpayers of over a billion dollars per year.
The list of money-saving measures is impressive: Cutting
the storm water tax (saving taxpayers about $300 million); saving $100,000 in
sidewalk repairs; opposing cable television fee increases; promoting a Florida
Tax Watch audit of county budget and policies; and various other measures
designed to create more fiscal accountability when it comes to county
government.
All that, plus Blair was instrumental in helping to broker
a deal that resulted in hundreds of new, sheltered bus stops being
built—after initially being told that it couldn’t be done without
spending a lot of money.
“It’s easy to say something can’t be
done,” Blair said, “because it doesn’t take much effort to
say no. But it’s amazing what you can do, what money you can save, if you
commit yourself to being fiscally responsible,” he added.
Blair, a Republican, announced in August that he was
seeking the State House seat for District 47, which includes portions of
Hillsborough County and will be vacated by fellow Republican Kevin Ambler in
2010. Ambler is term limited and is running for State Senate.

NWA Title Match Canceled; The
Sheik Denied Chance for First World Belt
(Chicago, IL) – Saturday October 24th 2009 was supposed to be the biggest
day in the career of professional wrestling’s “IRANIAN
ASSASSIN”- The SHEIK.
On
that day, the infamous Sheik was to receive a shot at the NWA World Heavyweight
Title at Cicero Stadium in Chicago, Illinois against Mexican Legend - Blue
Demon Jr. The lineage of the NWA World Title can be traced back to the first
"Worlds Heavyweight Championship," a championship that goes all the
way back to George Hackenschmidt's 1905 title. This effectively makes it the
oldest surviving wrestling championship, and therefore the most prestigious
World Heavyweight Title in recorded history.
Instead
of that earned title match, The Sheik received a mere phone call telling him
that the match is cancelled. No justification as to why, no rescheduled match,
just opportunity gone awry. As one could imagine, this news does not sit well
with The Sheik, at all. A legend in his own right, The Sheik has waited 12
years to receive this opportunity to prove he is the best that the sport has
ever known.
When asked about his thoughts on the recent cancellation of this high profile
match, the furious Sheik was quoted as saying....”The NWA did not back
out of this match, The Sheik certainly did not back out of this match, The
Mexican promoters backed out of this match! The Mexican people pride themselves
on having one of their countrymen holding the NWA World Heavyweight
Title. All the while parading him around as if he is an Aztec Warrior. He
is no Aztec Warrior. What kind of warrior partakes in all of the glory without
any of the risks associated with being the NWA World Champion? Why is this
so-called warrior insulated in a comfortable cocoon built around him by the
Mexican promoters? Is this to insure that he remains NWA World Champion?
I’ve seen him in photos with American stars like the Jonas Brothers,
I’ve seen him on television programs rubbing elbows with the rich and
famous while I train in a dungeon creating strategies to destroy him. Blue
Demon Jr. is a paper champion and the Mexican promoters are guilty of
protecting a coward.
Demon
is not the Legend that he has falsely created, built on the ashes of his father
Blue Demon Senior. I am the LEGEND, the greatest warrior the world of wrestling
has ever known. Demon is nothing more than a faceless coward who will be
humiliated by my hand. I will be the NWA World Heavyweight Champion!"
There
is no word as of yet as to what will become of this. Robert K. Trobich, The
Executive Director of the National Wrestling Alliance, has not been reached for
comment. We have been told by his associates that an annual NWA meeting will be
held in the coming days. Hopefully it will determine the outcome of this story.
For interview opportunities directly with
The Sheik, contact Shannon Rose at (813) 960-8412, (813) 389-0801, or info@....

Marvin Hagler Jr. to Make Boxing Debut
(Broomall, PA) – It’s time for a “next
generation” of boxing champions.
Marvin Hagler Jr., son of the multiple World Champion, is set to
step into the ring as he makes his Celebrity Boxing debut on October 10.
Hagler will fight “Philadelphia’s own” Billy
Link at the Marple Sports Arena in Broomall.
The event is called Celebrity Boxing 12: The Next Generation, and
Hagler is brimming with enthusiasm—and impatience.
“Seems like forever since we announced this,” Hagler
said. “But it’s getting closer and I’m very excited.”
Hagler’s father became a figure known worldwide for his
thundering fists and toughness. But the “next generation” is happy
to write his own story.
“I’m very focused and I’m going to win this
fight. I’ve been training hard,” Hagler Jr. said. “I’m
not over-confident, but it’s a fact that I will win on October 10.”
The match with Link is a precursor to what Hagler really wants—a bout with fellow “next
generation” Celebrity Boxer Sugar Ray Leonard Jr., expected to take place
in February.
But for now, the attention is squarely on Billy Link and the match on October
10.
“Got to take care of business,” Hagler said.
“Can’t look ahead.”
Concordville Nissan and Subaru in nearby Glen Mills are sponsoring
the event.

Press Release: Reality Star and
Pro Wrestler's Fundraiser Huge Success
(Russellville, AR) – Pro wrestler
Matt Riviera, also a star of reality TV, is basking in the glow of a highly
successful event that occurred recently in his hometown of Russellville, AR.
Dubbed “Russellmania,”
Riviera’s wrestling card not only thrilled fans, but also raised
much-needed funds for the Boys and Girls Club of the Arkansas River Valley.
Held on September 12, Russellmania set an
attendance record—packing over 700 people into the LV Williamson Boys
& Girls Club building. Over 300 tickets were given away to elementary
school kids.
“We raised over $2,600,”
Riviera said proudly of the financial shot in the arm that the Boys and Girls
Club of the Arkansas River Valley are now enjoying.
Riviera, who also wrestled on the card,
said that legendary wrestler Buddy Landel told him something that was very
poignant.
“Buddy said that his match at
Russellmania was his best one since his Smokey Mountain days,” Riviera
related.
Fans waited in line for the doors to open,
and their patience was rewarded with non-stop action, which was met with
raucous cheers.
“The crowd was amazing,”
Riviera said. “I can tell you that we wrestlers really fed off it.”
Riviera, fresh off a summer in which he
starred in a VH1 reality show and helped produce a movie, was glad to help kids
near his hometown.
“Always happy to give back,” he
said. “These are good, hard-working people.”

Pro Wrestler Gets His Chance at
the World Title
(Tampa, FL) – Speaking animatedly and
through his interpreter, champion wrestler The Sheik spoke enthusiastically
about his upcoming shot at the NWA World Title, a chance that’s been a
long time coming.
The Iranian-born Sheik, in his 12th year
of professional wrestling, will finally get his chance at a world championship
when he faces current title holder Blue Demon Jr. on October 24 in Chicago. The
winner will hold the NWA Heavyweight Title Belt. And to hear The Sheik say it,
this opportunity is long overdue.
“I have worked hard. I have beaten some of
the best. It’s my time now,” were The Sheik’s translated
words about the NWA Title bout with Blue Demon Jr., whose legend began in
Mexico.
The Sheik, who uses his name with the consent of
legendary wrestler Sabu, is currently the Pro Wrestling Fusion Florida
champion.
“I deserve this match. No one has my
intensity,” The Sheik says.
The Sheik is perhaps most remembered for his
long-standing feud with Savio Vega, which began in Puerto Rico in 2008 and
still has people there talking. The feud culminated in a shocking Globe of
Death match—The Sheik and Vega alone in a steel, globe-shaped
cage—in front of over 8,000 fans.
The Sheik held the Pro Wrestling Fusion
Heavyweight Title from May 2008 until February 2009, defending it many times.
The Sheik has also appeared in Pro Wrestling
Fusion matches with partner Meng to form a fearsome tag team. He’s been
wrestling professionally since 1998.
His eyes dancing and his adrenalin pumping, The
Sheik had some final words.
“Some people love me, some people hate
me,” the Iranian wrestler says. “But all WILL respect me. Each
person writes their own story, and now it’s my turn!”

BRIAN BLAIR SAVES TAXPAYER MONEY, HELPS
PROTECT COUNTY BUS RIDERS AT SAME TIME
-- Bus shelters “popping up
everywhere” in Hillsborough County --
Tampa, FL – Brian Blair’s refusal to take
“no” for an answer is paying off for Hillsborough County residents.
Blair,
a candidate for Florida House of Representatives in 2010, has convinced HART
(Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority) to build more bus shelters for
its passengers. Over 125 in the past nine months, in fact.
“I
addressed the board while serving on it that we cannot expect people to stand
out in the elements or stand at a bus stop sign,” Blair said recently of
his efforts. “We need more shelters, and we need them now.”
But
the answer, initially, was no—there wasn’t any money to purchase
the shelters.
So
Blair simply refused to accept that, and went to work.
“We
put out a request for proposal to trade classy advertisement rights in exchange
for building bus shelters—at no cost to the taxpayer,” Blair said.
The result was over 125 new shelters constructed in the past nine months,
according to HART officials—all because of the trade arrangement. And
plans are for between 200 and 300 more to be built, thanks to Blair’s
efforts.
Blair,
a Republican and former Hillsborough County Commissioner, announced in August
that he was seeking the State House seat for District 47, which includes
portions of Hillsborough County and will be vacated by fellow Republican Kevin
Ambler in 2010. Ambler is term limited and is running for State Senate.
Blair
launched his State House campaign with the promise that he will be fiscally
responsible and a friend to taxpayers, a reputation he built as a County
Commissioner.
The
deal he brokered with HART for new bus shelters is further proof of that, he
says.
“Each shelter costs
roughly $25,000 to build, including materials and labor, so the savings to
taxpayers, so far, by trading costs for classy advertisement rights is
approximately $3.2 million,” Blair said. “And if the projections
are accurate, county taxpayers will have over 300 new shelters at a savings of
at least $7.5 million,” he added.
Blair
says that the new shelters are “popping up everywhere” in the
county, and regular passengers should already be noticing.

CONCUSSION RESEARCH
(Quincy,
MA) –Former WWE Superstar “The
Promise” Antonio Thomas, is combining brains with brawn—literally.
Thomas
is the latest professional wrestler to donate his brain to concussion research.
The
Sports Legacy Institute (SLI), founded by former WWE wrestler Chris Nowinski
and Dr. Robert Cantu, is the recipient of Thomas’s donation, which is
part of an effort to further understand concussions and their effect on the
brain.
The
SLI, founded in 2008, is dedicated to advancing the health and wellness of
athletes and improving the safety of sports & other athletic endeavors.
“It’s
the least I can do, to help other wrestlers and athletes after me,”
Thomas says of his involvement with the SLI.
Former
NHL star Keith Primeau, whose career was cut short due to multiple concussions,
is among the professional athletes who’ve pledged to donate their brains
after death, joining several pro wrestlers in the cause.
Wrestling-wise,
“The Promise” will appear at the New England Championship Wrestling
(NECW) “Tag Team Classic” on Saturday, September 19, in Quincy, MA.
Thomas
was tight-lipped but excited about the event.
“The
fans will have to wait and see what I have in store, and I’ll have to
wait to see their reaction. But it’s going to be awesome,” Thomas
says of the NECW event in Quincy.
Thomas
is fresh off an appearance on “The Figure Four Daily,” a very
popular Internet radio show about wrestling, hosted by pro grappler Bryan
Alvarez. Thomas appeared on September 8.

Four Daily’ is a major wrestling talk show,” Thomas said when asked
about his appearance. “It’s really big, and I’m proud to be a
part of it now.”
