CWF MID-ATLANTIC PRESENTS THE 5th ANNUAL CWF RUMBLE ON OCTOBER 1st IN
BURLINGTON, NC FOR HUGE TV TAPING!
CWF Mid-Atlantic returns to the Carolina Sports Arena in Burlington,
NC this Saturday, October 1st, with a 7:30pm belltime. This is a
full card of great action! This huge TV Taping will feature the 5th
Annual CWF Rumble! All bouts are sanctioned by the AWA, the American
Wrestling Association.
Wrestlers from all over North America have made their plans to enter
the 30-Man Rumble... as 30 wrestlers enter, but only 1 survives!
Rumble Rules: a random drawing is held earlier in the day with each
competitor drawing a number between 1 and 30, numbers 1 and 2 start
with a new wrestler entering each minute thereafter. The only way
you can be eliminated is to be thrown over the top rope and touching
the floor with both feet. The sole survivor receives a title shot
at any Mid-Atlantic championship of his choosing. Plus there is a
special contest that fans can enter and win a prize from
CWFShopZone.com open to the first 30 fans! (see related article for
detailed preview of the Rumble)
As if that wasn't enough, another huge match scheduled for this
Saturday night will feature AWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion
Garry "Madd Trucker" Stevens defending his coveted title against the
2005 Johnny Weaver Cup tournament winner, "El Fuego" Jesse Ortega.
Ortega elected to cash in the guaranteed heavyweight title shot that
comes with winning the prestigious tournament this Saturday. Ortega
is coming off one of the most successful title reigns in modern Mid-
Atlantic wrestling history, having held on to the Mid-Atlantic
Television Championship for 8 months and 9 days with 24 successful
title defenses under his belt. Ortega has proven himself as
championship material in the last 8 months but came up short in
March when one of his only loses since January occurred in his first
shot ever at the Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship then held by
Ric Converse. Ortega looks to avenge that loss and climb to the top
of the mountain as Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion. The "Madd
Trucker" is also looking to avenge a significant recent loss as it
was Ortega who upset Stevens in the finals of the Weaver Cup
Tournament to win just a little over a month ago.
Both men come into this important Mid-Atlantic Title match with
something to prove. Ortega hopes to launch himself into the top
spot in the entire territory while Stevens plans to keep that elite
spot for himself.
Another championship will be on the line as new AWA Mid-Atlantic
Television Champion, "A Very Handsome Man" Mitch Conner, makes his
first title defense against a challenger from the random drawing of
contenders. The cocky new champion from Milwaukee has been boastful
to anyone who will listen in the last several weeks that this
championship confirms his status as a "true television star" and
that it doesn't matter who is drawn from the list of contenders, he
will take the title back to Milwaukee for his planned vacation.
Connor commented about his trip back to Milwaukee, "I've already
been told that there will be a ticker-tape parade for Milwaukee's
best wrestler... me!" Connor has promised video footage of the
conquoring hero's return to Wisconsin with the Mid-Atlantic TV Title
belt. He'll have to make it through this Saturday if he hopes to
enjoy that party.
Kid Justice will make another defense of the Rising Generation
League Championship this Saturday night at the Carolina Sports Arena
against the exciting Ultra Dragon. Justice is looking for momentum
of a successful title defense heading into the annual RGL Tournament
starting next month. The belt is not required to be defended but
Justice has made several successful defenses since capturing the
belt by winning the 2004 tournament. This will be the high-flying
Dragon's first shot at the belt since his debut on January 8th of
this year and both these exciting young athletes will undoubtedly
put on a tremendous championship bout to add to the already stacked
card for this Saturday's event.
All this and much more!
Don't you dare miss it!!!

THE 5TH ANNUAL CWF RUMBLE - THE PARTICIPANTS
by CWF Commentator & resident stat expert, Grant Sawyer
Mikael Yamaha:
Will become one of only two wrestlers to compete in all 5 CWF
Rumbles... Has wrestled 46:32 combined in his four previous Rumbles,
including 29:01 in 2001 alone, the third longest ever... Has
eliminated 7.5 wrestlers in his four Rumble appearances, the third
highest total ever... Former Mid-Atlantic Television, Cruiserweight,
and Tag Team champion... Has been granted the #30 spot by Michael
McAllister out of "sympathy" for Yamaha's close-but-no-cigar
attempts in previous Rumbles... Odds: 10-1
Ric Converse:
Appearing in his 3rd CWF Rumble... Has eliminated 8.0 wrestlers in
his three Rumble appearances, the highest total ever... Lasted 31:18
combined in his two Rumble appearances... Two-time former Mid-
Atlantic Heavyweight champion... Coming off a grueling 40 minute
classic with AWA World Hwt. Champion Steve Corino which he lost in
controversial fashion... Is the #1 target for Michael
McAllister's "hired guns" in the Rumble... Will have a bullseye on
his chest no matter what number he draws... Odds: 10-1
Xsiris:
Appearing in his 4th CWF Rumble... Has failed in recent attempts to
win the AWA World Light Heavyweight Title and Mid-Atlantic
Television Title... Needs a Rumble win to put himself back in the
title picture... Former Mid-Atlantic Television Champion... Odds: 15-
1
Tank Lawson:
Appearing in his 2nd CWF Rumble... Powerhouse seems primed and ready
to make the Rumble his biggest match ever... Extremely dominant in
recent singles bouts... Now under the management of Cornealius J.
Lumpkin III... Odds: 15-1
Rob McBride:
Appearing in his 4th CWF Rumble but first as the "Boogie Woogie
Man"... Has eliminated 6.0 wrestlers in his four Rumble appearances,
the fourth highest total ever... Strong, wily veteran could go a
long ways in 2005's Rumble as he did in 2002 when he went nearly 23
minutes... Odds: 15-1
Brass Munkey:
Appearing in his 4th CWF Rumble... Former Mid-Atlantic Tag Team
Champion... Is on an emotional high after scoring the biggest win of
his life on September 10th, defeating Corey Edsel in a stretcher
match, who has not been seen since... Odds: 20-1
Alex Adonis:
Appearing in his 2nd CWF Rumble... Rumble seems custom-fitted for
massive brawler who has no friends so should be right at home
here... Odds: 20-1
Marcellus King:
Making his CWF Rumble debut... Huge newcomer could make big waves in
this year's Rumble... Dominated RGL Champion Kid Justice in singles
action and defeated tag champions the Playas in tag action in his
first two months alone... Odds: 20-1
Sean Powers:
Appearing in his 2nd CWF Rumble... Former Mid-Atlantic Tag Team
Champion... Sick individual that seems to have some ties with
Michael McAllister, utilizing the steel chain at the last TV taping
in an effort to injure several other Rumble entries... Odds: 20-1
Street Sweepers (Gregory Vercetti and Jay Sinn):
Only CWF team in the Rumble that have been vocal about working
together and achieving the same goal... If their numbers are close
together, a joint effort could spell trouble for the rest of the
Rumble entries... Odds: 20-1
Mitch Connor:
Current Mid-Atlantic Television Champion... On a hot streak, having
ended Jesse Ortega's 9 month, 24-defense TV Title run at last TV
taping... Doesn't need the Rumble, but cockiness has him wanting the
win to prove his superiority over the rest of the Mid-Atlantic...
Odds: 20-1
Kamakazi Kid:
Appearing in his 3rd CWF Rumble... Former Rising Generation League
champion... Beloved CWF wrestler who's career was nearly ended in
January... has only wrestled once since then, losing in the AWA
Light Heavyweight tournament... Unproven in 2005, but always
extremely dangerous... Odds: 25-1
Donnie Dollar$:
Making his CWF Rumble debut... Big man that should thrive in a
Rumble setting... Needs a big showing and even bigger win...
Possibly the biggest darkhorse in the Rumble... Odds: 25-1
American Steel Ninja:
Appearing in his 4th CWF Rumble... Former Mid-Atlantic Tag Team
Champion... Needs a Rumble win to solidify himself as a top singles
contender... Odds: 30-1
Will B. Smooth:
Appearing in his 2nd CWF Rumble... Current Mid-Atlantic Tag Team
Champion... The "fighter" of the SouthSide Playas team... Rumble is
the perfect environment for him to excel as a singles competitor...
Odds: 30-1
Chris Vega and Bret Sharpe:
Making their CWF Rumble debut... AWA West-Virginia's representatives
in the Rumble hope for the luck of the draw much like the Street
Sweepers in an effort to join forces for the win... Odds: 30-1
J-Money:
Appearing in his 3rd CWF Rumble... Current Mid-Atlantic Tag Team
Champion and former Cruiserweight Champion... Proven singles
competitor that excels even more in the tag team division... could
have his sites set on a future trip back to singles glory if a
Rumble win falls into place... Odds: 35-1
Kid Justice:
Appearing in his 3rd CWF Rumble... Current Rising Generation League
Champion... Solid singles star that went to the final 5 in last
year's Rumble... Could move up to the next plateau with a win
here... Odds: 35-1
Julius Augustus:
Making his CWF Rumble debut... Has been on fire in the tag team
division as of late and the Rumble will be his first chance to stake
his claim as a true singles star... Odds: 35-1
GeeStar:
Will become one of only two wrestlers to compete in all 5 CWF
Rumbles... Has eliminated 6.0 wrestlers in her four Rumble
appearances, the fourth highest total ever... Former Mid-Atlantic
Television Champion... Slowed by injuries and the emotional death of
the Crew in 2005, needs the Rumble to recapture her past glory...
Odds: 40-1
Shane West:
Making his CWF Rumble debut... Veteran wrestler surprisingly has
never been in a Rumble... Has been AWOL since realigning himself
with Garry Stevens... Could be the hired "hitman" for the Rumble...
Odds: 45-1
Shawn Christian:
Making his CWF Rumble debut... Veteran athlete out of Virginia will
be making his first CWF event since March... Unknown quantity in NC,
but a widespread reputation in VA... Odds: 50-1
Ultra Dragon:
Making his CWF Rumble debut... One of the most popular, but also
smallest, Rumble competitors... Will have to utilize speed and
agility and pray that luck of the draw doesn't put him in there with
many 300 pounders... Odds: 50-1
Jeremy Ryan:
Making his CWF Rumble debut... CWF's luckiest competitor possibly
ever will need every bit of it to try and survive... Parades are
already scheduled in his hometown should the impossible happen...
Odds: 100-1
Matty Dee:
Making his CWF Rumble debut... With "Classic Rock" apparently
disbanded, Matty Dee is a wrestler without a home, or a friend, as
the case may be... took Mikael Yamaha to the limit at the last TV
taping... has never won a singles bout in CWF... Odds: 100-1
CWF and the AWA will also announce three additional wildcard entries
to round out the field of 30 on Saturday, October 1st shortly before
the event.
