Blehschmidt's Original Edits

The man now known as Vladimir Devor began his career as one half of a comedy tag team. He was slightly overweight and his career was going nowhere. So he turned on his partner, and started a goth gimmick called The Pale Rider. While this went a little better, he still wasn't reaching the heights that he had always envisioned for himself. Then he tore both of his ACL's in a dive gone wrong, and for 16 months no one saw or heard from him. Then he returned, and everything changed. The flabby, shaggy haired, comedy goth that had gotten injured was gone, replaced with a chiseled, bearded, hard hitting, smashmouth monster known as Vladimir Devor. While we all know he isn't the least bit Russian, Devor claims he spent his recovery in Russia being transformed into the Soviet Warhammer and now fights for Mother Russia and his destiny to claim gold for the homeland.

One half of the tag team known as "Well Hung" with his brother Row, Scotty claims that his massive biceps aren't the only thing bulging on "The Body." The brothers spent years plying their trade on the North Eastern independent circuit, before a break out performance on a big time show propelled both of them into the mainstream. While Scotty may not have the insane athletic abilities of his younger brother, he more than makes up for it with raw power and an ability to absorb a beating. His "Body Breaker" finishing maneuver is just as visually stunning (not to mention devastating) today as it was the first time we saw it! 

One of the co-founders of the original Total Elimination Wrestling, Tom Tennant is a man who epitomizes the word hardcore. Known around the world for his toughness, his ability to take a beating and keep fighting, and a never say die attitude, "The Survivor" has the love of the fans and the respect of his peers. He is just as comfortable exchanging wristlocks as he is crashing through tables. Barbed wire, broken glass. He can do that too. In the years he has been around the game, he has seen it all, done it all, and probably bled all over it. His long running and barbaric feud with his adopted brother Misery seems to have finally been put to rest, but his younger brother Clint has decided he is tired of living in the shadows. However, Tom will keep on doing what Tom does. Surviving.

An imposing figure at 6'9" and over three hundred and fifty pounds, the painted up, dreadlocked monster known as TOOL wasn't always this way. He began his career as Big Daddy Tool, debuting as a mystery partner for Misery during his long running feud with Tom Tennant. Together they were known as the Innovators of Violence, and they formed a pretty dominant tag team that had several reigns with tag team gold. The big mans good nature was obvious despite his alignment with the heel Misery, and a face turn soon followed. While it didn't lead to a run on top as many had predicted, he remained a solid middle card act and had a good run. Then Big Daddy Tool disappeared from the scene, and wasn't heard from for quite some time. It was later learned that an elbow injury and a bad drug habit took the big man away from the business for several years, and when he returned the wicked TOOL took the place of the loved BDT. So far it seems to have paid off, as the fans hate him more and more, he suceeds at a higher and higher level.

The elder statesman has ended his self imposed retirement and decided to test himself one more time. Sam Bishop has likely forgotten more about the wrestling business than most of the people currently in it ever knew. Years ago, once he had won all the titles that there were to win, wrestled all of the places there were to wrestle, and competed against all the opponents that were worthy to compete against, he hung up the boots and walked away. He spent his well earned retirement wandering the world and experiencing all that life had to offer. Don't think for a moment that means he ever stopped training. Discipline is the path of the Preacher, and while he may have allowed himself the pleasures of the world, he never for a moment allowed himself to become weak. Now there is a new generation of warriors he wishes to test himself against. He may be older, but he is also wiser. Does that make him more or less dangerous? We shall see.

World Heavyweight Champion. Franchise Player. Those are the goals. Shane Corona isn't here to make friends. Shane Corona isn't here to get the fans to like him. Shane Corona is here to be the Franchise Player and he is here to be the World Heavyweight Champion. When you call yourself the "Sure Shot" you can't settle for second best. With a self confidence that hinges on arrogance, and a sharp tongue that has gotten him into fights more than once, Corona is a young man with a bright future in the wrestling business if he doesn't become his own worst enemy. With the skills to stand toe to toe with anyone who gets in the ring with him, and his crippling Sure Shot Driver, we have to believe that his day atop the business likely isn't too far away. We also have to believe that he would agree with that assessment. We also believe that he most likely doesn't give a damn what we think!

This massive bruiser from deep in the heart of the American west combines power, agility, and an intense desire to win into a package that is hard to beat. Originally from Oklahoma, but trained in Texas, Lariat Brisco plows his opponents with his namesake move and then uses an arsenal of power attacks if they are stupid enough to get back up. But don't think for a moment that his power game is all he has going for him. Just because he is a giant tough bastard, doesn't mean for a minute he doesn't have one of the nicest dropkicks you'll ever see. Then when he drops you on your head with his Talentizer finishing move, that'll pretty much spell the end for you, and it'll be another notch on his belt, complete with oversized belt buckle. Laugh if you want, but soon enough he plans on replacing that belt, with a large gold belt that'll look a whole lot better, and make him a whole lot more money.

When Sean Tylor first broke into the mainstream, he made a disastrous attempt at portraying a heel doing a veiled devil gimmick. It failed because the fans weren't even remotely buying what he was selling. Why? Because Sean Tylor is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. So instead of coming up with some other lame gimmick, he just decided to be who he was, a hard working, nice dude, who just so happens to be a damn good professional wrestler. He became Sean Tylor. After that, it didn't take long at all for him to begin climbing the ranks and gaining the adulation of crowds all around the world. Now, he finds himself one of the most beloved wrestlers in the world and crowds literally live and die with him in a way that has been rarely seen since the heyday of southern wrestling in the 1980's. Whether he finds himself in a hardcore, bloody brawl or a straight up technical wrestling encounter, Tylor is prepared for whatever comes at him, and with the fans behind him he will always give everything to rise to the top.

To declare someone the most arrogant man in the long and storied history of professional wrestling is a bold statement, but we are talking about a man who calls himself Sheer Ego. We are talking about the man who once commisioned the Sheer Ego Memorial Title while he was still alive and declared himself champion. We are talking about the man who only defended said title against jobbers and who declared the title inactive when he was actually defeated for it. When you hear Tina Turner's "Simply the Best" play in the arena, it can only mean that Sheer Ego is headed to the ring. Unfortunately for all of the people that just want to murder the arrogant son of a bitch, he also happens to be one of the best all around wrestlers in the world and has the ability to beat anyone that steps into the ring with him. But between his scathing interviews and his cocky smirk, that certainly won't stop them from trying!

Burkey was the cornerstone of the Eliminator division in the original Total Elimination Wrestling. That means that he was the king of bashing people with chairs, smashing people into tables, throwing them into barbed wire, and doing whatever other deranged things he had to do to remain champion. When T.E.W. went away, so did Burkey. He walked away from the wrestling business and never looked back. He decided to give boxing a try, and after going 11-2, he decided that Mixed Martial Arts might be fun. With a current record of 6-1, Burkey has decided to split time and come back to wrestling now that T.E.W. is rising from the ashes. He is definitely One Bad Mother Fuc... I know, just talkin' bout Burkey!!

Stepping into the wrestling business as the younger brother of Tom "The Survivor" Tennant and with Misery as your adopted brother was a rought path for Clint Tennant. For years he wrestled with a need to prove himself and escape a shadow that he felt was cast over himself. After disappearing from the scene in the United States and doing extensive tours of the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Japan, Clint has returned and claims that he is now better than anyone in his family has ever been. With the massive Explosion as his sometime partner, Clint plans to claim both singles and tag team gold for himself.

The career of Wildfire has seen him go from humble beginnings as a clean cut babyface beloved by most, to a heel that was at one point possibly the most hated man in the UWL. He is now a veteran who whether you choose to cheer or boo, is respected by nearly everyone. His travels have exposed him to nearly every style of wrestling and he is more than proficient in most of them. His ability to adapt to any opponent has led him to championship gold virtually everywhere he has gone. Whether it is a hard hitting technical encounter, a tag team contest, or a barbed wire free for all, Wildfire is a guy who will thrive, and rise to the occasion every time. 

Having grown up watching his fathers old World of Sport tapes over and over again, British born Callum Robinson has been obsessed with wrestling since he was a young boy. Now he is the first graduate of the wrestling school run by Davey and Donnie Dee. The man known as "The New Warrior" has developed a combination of striking, grappling, submissions, and a touch of British humor that is nice mixture of the newer British strong style and the classic World of Sport that he loves. Now he has joined Davey Dee in the United States, and is looking to make his name on a global scale. A hit with the ladies due to his good looks and accent, and also popular with the guys due to his hard hitting style and propensity for having a pint, Robinson has a bright future in the industry.

Michael Motto is a no-nonsense competitor inside the squared circle. A technical wrestler who isn't afraid to brawl or bend the rules, he knows a thousand ways to bend and manipulate your body to have you screaming in pain and tapping the mat. The dragon sleeper that he calls The Stand is his favorite submission maneuver, but it has become more of a secondary finisher these days. He has now found a particular joy in hurling his opponents off the top rope with a belly to belly suplex that he calls The Trademark. Whatever way he chooses to finish a match, Motto is one to watch and is always a threat for gold.

Now let's do some Tag Teams!!

Standing Six Feet Ten Inches tall and weighing in at close to three hundred and fifty pounds, Thorn is an impressive figure. Spending his formative years as a bodyguard for many high profile clients, he broke into the wrestling business in his mid-twenties and didn't find the success that most predicted for a man of his stature. It wasn't until he met up with Punishment and formed the tag team known as Body Count that things really took off for him. The two men formed an instant bond and became friends outside of the ring, and a well oiled death machine inside of it. They have collected tag team gold everywhere they have gone, and the only thing bigger than the path of destruction they have left behind, has been the bar tab. 

The man known as "Big Pun" alongside his partner Thorn form the hardest hitting tag team in the world, Body Count. They have won Tag Team Championships from coast to coast and all across the world. Punishment is also no stranger to singles competition using his power, size, and surprising agility to go toe to toe with the best the business has to offer. Alone or as part of Body Count, if Punishment shows up in the promotion where you are a champion..... There Goes The Neighborhood!

Dr. Ivan Kilemoff is a former psychiatrist who was expelled from the profession and had his license revoked after he was found to have been performing psychological "experiments" on patients at the Pescadero Mental Hospital. The two Orderlies are former workers at the hospital who became his patients. He has brought them into the world of professional wrestling to help them "channel their rage" and "work out the demons that dwell inside." Orderly #1 is the shorter of the two men, while #2 is taller and wears elbow pads.

Torturer is a twenty year veteran of the mat wars and he spent most of that in the hard hitting world of puroresu. One half of Damage Inc, he has held tag team gold in multiple promotions all over Japan. Having lost the original Spinebreaker, Torturer took a year away from the ring to recover from nagging injuries, and found a young American who he trained to become his new tag team partner. After another run in Japan, he has decided to finish out his career by coming home. Damage Incorporated is looking for American tag team gold, and that is bad news for any tag team in the United States.

Damage Incorporated has long been one of the most feared gaijin teams in all of Japan. The man known as Spinebreaker is actually the second American to have assumed that moniker. Much bigger than his predecessor, what he lacks in experience, he makes up for in raw power and agression. Under the tutelage of the veteran Torturer, this six foot six monster is just going to get better and better. As Damage Inc. returns to the states for the first time in nearly a decade, they have tag team gold on their mind.

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire Project SCUM.

Sebastian Rose has been one of the break out stars on the American scene over the last year and a half. After walking away from the tag team Metal Storm where he spent the early part of his career tagging with Bobby Blackheart, Rose spent eight months in Mexico training the Lucha Libre style, then a year in Japan working in the dojo's of various promotions. He returned to the states, and knocked on the door of The AGW Academy, where Speed Racer helped him put it all together. Since that time he has picked up Junior Titles across the globe, regional titles across the states, and has re-joined with Blackheart, this time dubbed The Saints of Los Angeles, and looks to add more tag team gold to his already impressive collection.

Bobby Blackheart is a decorated tag team and junior heavyweight competitor. He has held junior titles in Mexico and Japan, and is looking to add his home country to that list. He has been tag team champions with multiple partners in multiple companies, but is most known for his tag team with Sebastian Rose. They have at times been known as Metal Storm, Metal Age, Youth Gone Wild, and BRAT. Currently they are calling themselves The Saints of Los Angeles, but no matter what name they use, they are a well oiled machine and one hell of a tag team. Both the tag team and junior heavyweight champions had best be on the lookout, because "The Rock Superstar" is coming for their gold.

Once a masked man who prided himself on competing with skill and honor. When he lost an apuestas match due to bad officiating, something snapped in his mind, and the creature known as Phobia emerged. Now his joy comes in the form of spewing mist into the eyes of his opponents, and cackling maniacally as he strikes them repeatedly in the groin. A highly skilled junior with the mind of a dangerous psychopath. Still sometimes teams with Scarecrow to form the demonic duo known as "Dementia" when the stars align, or the moon tells them too....who knows why!!!

The man known as La Cara Del Miedo in the world of Lucha Libre has spent the years since the closing of TEW and UWL competing exclusively in his native Mexico. He is now looking to once again spread his brand of terror to the rest of the world. With the 630 senton known as FEAR and his willingness to put both himself and his opponent in danger, it won't take long for the Scarecrow to once again become a force in whatever junior heavyweight division he chooses to compete. There is also the tag team known as "Dementia" that he forms with Phobia that rears it's ugly head when the desire suits their demented minds that could easily compete for tag team gold. Although it is rarely seen, watch out for the Scarecrow's scythe!!

The Son of the White Warrior has big shoes to fill. His father is a legend in Mexico, but so far in his career it would seem that El Hijo del Guerrero Blanco is well suited for the task. With insane speed and balance, he leaves his opponents wondering what hit them and where it went. He has now left his home country and traveled to the United States in an effort to broaden his horizons and expose himself to new styles, and it would seem that a slew of guys have decided to follow him for supposedly those same reasons. But we tend to believe that they know that the money will be where the biggest star in the land goes, and all bets are on Guerrero Blanco being the biggest star in all of Lucha Libre.

Sick. Twisted. Depraved. Yes, and those are his good qualities. Prick the Clown is a man who can wrestle when he chooses, but he may just as likely choose to stab you with a fork, throw fire at you, or get himself counted out chasing confetti in the crowd. Just count your lucky stars that the police confiscated his best friend "Stevie" the barbed wire dildo after "the incident" last year. As comfortable flying with juniors as he is letting blood in deathmatches, this clown is happy to "smack the Put Down" on anyone who dares step in his path.

El Gran Gato Guapo!! Su cabello en el pecho es grueso y varonil!! El Gran Gato Guapo!! Él es el hombre con el que sueña tu esposa!! El Gran Gato Guapo!! El pelaje de su máscara es tan suave como su toque para su dama!! El Gran Gato Guapo!! Tu dama no puede evitar la forma en que se siente cuando lo ve luchar!! El Gran Gato Guapo!! Él hará feliz a tu madre!! El Gran Gato Guapo!!

The son of Azote Del Mar, he has dropped the aquatic part of his fathers name, but carries on the same hard hitting style and the same unlikely connection with the fans. Like his father, started as a Rudo, but his hard work and hard hitting style have turned the crowds in his favor. As comfortable flying in the air, as he is smashing people with chairs, or connecting with any of the hard hitting moves in his aresenal, Azote Jr. is a different kind of luchadore. Heading into the United States for the first time, he is prepared to show a new audience what he is capable of......
Fear the Thing That Should Not Be.

Tiburon Mortal has grown tired of hunting the waters of his native Mexico and has come to the United States in search of new prey. Smelling blood in the waters of the Junior Heavyweight divisions across the United States, he plans to claim them as his own. Having previously tangled with the likes of El Gran Gato Guapo and Rey Diamante Jr, he is not unfamiliar with the men sharing this ocean with him. All puns aside, his willingness to bend the rules and his "Bite of the Megalodon" finisher make him a threat to any Juniors division in which he competes and to anyone who steps into the ring against him. 

A decorated Junior Heavyweight in his home country of Japan, Nishuwa Eiko had spent the last several years enjoying a quiet retirement. Then Misery showed up at his front door and asked if he would come to America and help him train some promising wrestlers for a few weeks. Eiko hadn't been to the states in nearly twenty years and agreed to help his old friend for a few weeks. That was two years ago, and he's had such a good time training rookies at The Slaughterhouse, he's decided to step back into the ring to prove to them, and to himself, that he can still stand toe to toe with anyone. We certainly don't doubt him.

The masked man known as American Ronin has been wandering around the indy circuit of the South East United States for almost a decade now. On the taller and heavier side for a Junior competitor, he has wrestled virtually everyone that has come in and out of the area in that time. His costume makes him a natural attraction for children, but his bad attitude and willingness to yell at them instantly makes most people hate him. The recent influx of international Junior talent onto the scene in the U.S. has gotten Ronin booked outside of his normal area, as promoters are looking for outstanding American talent to take on the Japanese and Lucha talent. Ronin has been quoted as saying that it's about damn time someone noticed the best unsigned talent in the whole country!

Sakaguchi is truly a mystery in the strange business of professional wrestling. We know he is from Japan, but which part we don't know. We assume Sakaguchi is his last name, but it's just as likely an assumed name. He acts like a crazy person, and it's rumored that he has spent time in a mental hospital, but there is no confirmation of that either. All we know for sure is that there is a Japanese man who calls himself Sakaguchi, he paints his face, he acts like a crazy person, and he is a threat for the Junior Heavyweight Championship. 

Sergio Braga comes from Brazil, the youngest child from a family of mixed martial artists. As a teenager, Sergio decided against the fighting cage and opted for the wrestling ring after catching the likes of JT Lawless, Preacher, Misery, and many others on a video tape at a friends house. He has however taken the MMA skills and training he learned his whole life and turned them into a hybrid wrestling style that leaves opponents confused, and eventually unconcious. His kicks are brutal, and his submissions airtight. Braga comes to the United States with his sights set on gold.

According to Marcus Johnson, as a child growing up on the streets of Detroit, Michigan he had two choices, crime or Kung Fu. He chose Kung Fu and after years of hard training and rising up the ranks he achieved the rank of black belt. It is here that his story becomes....difficult to believe. He claims that in his training to achieve a 2nd degree Black Belt, he was visited by a deceased Kung Fu master who empowered him with the ancient Black Fist. A mystical energy that imbues the fist of the user with an energy that allows them to "ka-blow" anyone who stands against them. While we are not sure about any of this, Johnson is a talented competitor and a threat to Junior Titles all across the world.

Rick Fortune is the 2nd graduate of Speed Racer's AGW Wrestling Academy. One of the top young Cruiserweights of his generation, Fortune was able to take some of the old school sensibilities of his trainers and mix it with a newer "indy wrestling" style that took off in the 2000's. Fortune was often underrated and had quite a bit of success in the AGW's waning days, including main eventing a PPV against Misery. Fortune also enjoyed teaming up with his best friend, Eric Von Doom, and while the duo never won titles due to their focusing on their singles careers, they are more than capable as a duo due to their styles meshing quite well.

Two more edits in the women's division....

Veronica Valentine is a strange character in a world of strange characters. A graduate of the Slaughterhouse, alongside her boyfriend Jacob Cross, this North Carolina native is about as odd and quirky as they come. Some believe her to be crazy, but her constant giggling, and off the wall antics seem to endear her to the fans. She calls herself "The Red Queen" we think because of her fiery red hair, but we can't ber certain that is the reason. She has confirmed the reason that she calls her finishing move the "Muff Driver" but we can't repeat that here.

Anastasia Adams started practicing gymnastics at age 5, and began cheerleading at age 9. Somewhere in that time frame she started watching wrestling with her brother and knew immediately that is what she wanted to do. After getting thrown out of cheerleading (and suspended) during her senior year for throwing a super kick at the Quarterback of the football team, she bided her time until graduation and enrolled in wrestling school soon afterward. She took to it like a fish to water after years of training her body. Her balanace is second to none, and her ability to contort herself is nothing short of amazing. Her A4 (Anastasia Adams Aerial Assault) finishing maneuver is stunning.
