NORTH AMERICAN TITLE VACATED…REYES & ANTHONY LEAVE W-1

NORTH AMERICAN TITLE VACATED, REYES & ANTHONY  LEAVE W-1….PRESIDENT KEHNER SPEAKS

President Mike Kehner has announced that both Ricky Reyes and Alex Anthony have resigned from Pro-Wrestling WORLD-1 effective July 1, and have declared themselves Freelance.

“Both Ricky Reyes and Alex Anthony have been a major part of WORLD-1 and we are sad to see them go. I am sure I speak for everyone here that we hope that they will return in the future.” said President Kehner.

2010 has been a great year for Reyes and Anthony as they have taken their rivalry to many promotions in not only the United States but also Canada. By declaring themselves Freelance, they can take independent bookings without the burden of having to put W-1 first. Both wrestlers are welcome back anytime and in the future their affliation will be “FREE”.

Ricky Reyes briefly touched on the subject, “It was time to get out and show a lot more of the United States what both Alex Anthony and I can do in the ring. There is something special in our rivalry. Thank you to WORLD-1 for the last year and you never know when you might see Ricky Reyes again in a WORLD-1 ring.”

“Being the North American champion for ten months is a huge highlight of my young career.” said Alex Anthony, “But this is a chance to get out there more and I look forward to one day coming back to WORLD-1 and winning the heavyweight championship.”

President Kehner also announced that the North American championship would be vacated due to the controversary regarding the North American title match between Ricky Reyes and Alex Anthony at WXW C4 on June 5 in Allentown, PA. Originally the North American title match was to take place at the TWA event in Plymouth Meeting, PA but was changed at last minute without the knowledge or permission of President Kehner.

“Title matches are extremly important in Pro-Wrestling WORLD-1. We had a signed contract with the TWA to do the title match there and the match location was changed without my knowledge. Rob Dimension put in an official protest on behalf of Ricky Reyes and demanded that Alex Anthony be stripped of the title and it returned to Mr. Reyes. I have determined that the title will be vacated and that my office will announce how the title will be decided this coming Monday, July 12.” President Kehner said, exclusive to www.WORLD1Online.com

Alex Balboa began his B4W career with a bang as he entered the star studded B4W Brookwood Bash 2008 match. He bypassed names such as Ricky Landell, GPS, Ricky Reyes and The Beast before losing to The Beast. B4W officials were quick to offer him a contract and the future is bright for this newcomer to B4W.

He would go on to have a severe attitude change after aligning himself with Corino and Reyes to form the WPF in Japan’s Zero1 promotion. Early in 2009 he would defeat defending North American champion King Kaluha to capture the title. The former champion, Steve Corino would go on to claim Anthony was a fluke and fake champion. A feud was started.
