WORLD-1 NEWS: W-1 DEAD END IN JUST OVER 2 WEEKS!!!
With just over two weeks away till Pro-Wrestling WORLD-1’s return to the Knights Of Columbus in Jackson, New Jersey and even though it is spring time, W-1 is heating up!!!
Former ECW and ROH World champion Jerry Lynn will make his return to W-1 for the first time in six years as he will challenge the current WORLD-1 heavyweight champion Chris Rockwell.
Lynn was in the decision match to crown the first W-1 champion in February 2004, barely losing to Pro-Wrestling ZERO1’s Masato Tanaka. Now Jerry Lynn is back and wants to make history and become W-1’s 6th champion.
Jerry Lynn will also be holding a very special seminar from 5-7pm (after the event) at the Knights of Columbus. The cost of the seminar is only $40 pre-paid. If you are paying the day of the cost is $45. We highly recommend that you register though to make sure you get a good seat. Email WORLD1Wrestling@GMAIL.com for details. All stages or pro-wrestling experience will benefit from a man that has traveled the world working for not only ECW and ROH but the WWE, WCW, Japan, Global, and is known as one of pro-wrestling’s best wrestlers.
WORLD-1 champion Chris Rockwell and members of Symbol have been telling anyone that will listen that Rockwell will no doubt make it through his match with Jerry Lynn successfully. Rockwell has told WORLD1Online.com that his main goal is eclipsing Ricky Landell’s record six defenses to become the greatest W-1 champion of all time. Masato Tanaka defended the title three times, Landell six, Steve Corino five, and The Beast none (lost one minute after winning the title making him the worst W-1 champion. He has since been released.).
If you have read www.ZEROONEUSA.com you will know by now that W-1 tag team champion Steve and Colby Corino were not able to tour Japan this week due to passport issues. The elder Corino had a scathing statement about the US Passport Office on www.CorinoWrestling.com but was asked to take it down. Pro-Wrestling ZERO1 will be bringing the tag team champions over soon to defend the titles, but now they have to get ready for May 23 and The Funky Fresh Boyz.
“It’s disappointing that I am not making my in-ring debut in Japan this tour but I know that I will. I can’t dwell on it because The Funky Fresh Boyz are getting a title shot on May 23. I am going to do my best to keep this title in my grasp. I might be 13 but pro-wrestling is serious to me and I like the feel of the belt around my waist.” Said Colby Corino. When the prodigy was asked about his father’s relationship with Rob Dimension he said, “I never liked Rob. I don’t understand what my father sees in him but my dad is a very fair person. He told me that I don’t have to listen to Rob and that Rob is important to his business affairs. As long as Dimension doesn’t interfere in our matches or say bad things to great fans of WORLD-1 then all I can do is give him a chance.”
Colby Corino’s first T-shirts will debut at W-1’s Dead End. The first 25 shirts will go for only $10!!! You can reserve your shirt and receive a special W-1 coupon by emailing WORLD1Wrestling@GMAIL.com.
When Dimension was told of these comments he said: “Kid better learn how to play ball and quick. Steve Corino would be NOTHING without me.” What does that mean? Steve Corino was not around to comment but I am sure he will not be happy to hear what Dimension had to say. Speaking of Dimension, he will not only be managing one half of the W-1 tag team champions at Dead End but also managing The Monster C in the Nuclear 8 Gauntlet Match.
North American champion Ricky Reyes will have his hands full with Damian Dragon at Dead End as he will try and make his V5 defense of the title. Reyes has defended the title not only in W-1 but also in the TWA, WWWA, and WXW C4.
“I want to bring true respect to Pro-Wrestling WORLD-1 and this North American title.” Said the champion, who is never much of a talker. He usually leads with actions. “WORLD-1 doesn’t get the recognition in the US that I believe we should because we don’t have the ‘internet savvy’ guys that the other regional groups have but I believe we have a great roster. Sawyer, VSK, Anthony, Cole, Harris, Shields, Sabian, and now Dragon all want to be the North American champion. It’s my job to get out there and defend this title. It’s about stealing the show. Come May 23rd I know that Damian Dragon is going to bring his best and I am ready. W-1 fans get ready because Reyes-Dragon is going to be the match of the night!”
Many wrestlers and W-1 fans are taking notice that the winner of the Nuclear 8 Gauntlet could be the favorite to win this years Shinya Hashimoto Memorial Tournament in August. 2008 Winner Ricky Reyes and 2009 Winner Ryan Sawyer are already entered automatically and over the next six weeks a new wrestler will be named for the 1 night tournament to celebrate the life of “The Destruction King”.
Two men will enter, one man will leave WORLD-1 at Dead End as the four year feud between Tommy Thunda and GPS will come to a head on May 23 in a Loser Leaves Town Street Fight. Although Pro-Wrestling WORLD-1 has always tried to make itself a family friendly entertainment show, President Mike Kehner has announced that this match will have E-Style Rules meaning ANYTHING GOES!!!
“I believe, as president, that it is my job to put the best matches out there. Sometimes these matches have to be settled in a way that is different then a regular match. Tommy Thunda and GPS will not only battle in a Street Fight but they may start a precedent of pushing the envelope in W-1.” Said President Kehner.
