UCW #355-#360

Now let us get up to speed with part two of my UCW recap…

#355: Eli & Hunter vs Johnny & Michael (Tag Team) – I haven’t reffed many matches in the past, so I do apologize if I get in the way of the camera sometimes…SORRY BODYSLAM!  This match in particular was one giant clusterfuck of a match-up.  So much so that I had to pick my jaw up off the ground at the sheer brutality that went into this match. Literally no love lost between these opponents. Vets with rookie partners(if you consider Johnny a rookie compared to Hannigan), and me in black tights. 😉 It may be a while before we see Johnny or Hunter again so be sure to pick this one up to satisfy your cravings.

#356 Jax vs Quinn Harper – Man, newbie Jax just gets thrown right to the wolf himself Quinn Harper and all of his dirty tricks.  It had to happen sooner or later, sooner in this case.  However, I do believe that if you can survive him it only makes you a stronger wrestler.  It also teaches you to tighten those glutes whenever he starts to wet a finger.  Another fine example of why Jax deserves to be in the UCW.  Just like me he can take a beating and dish out one when the opportunity arises.  I can’t wait for the rematch.  As I had mentioned in the previous post Jax is becoming ripped on his new job.  We shall see how the mighty Quinn can handle a rebooted Jax in their next outing.

#357: Ice Burg vs Hiro – The match starts out with these two guys challenging each other to some boxing…a first for UCW.  Me being a boxing fan I was genuinely interested to see how this would turn out.  Unfortunately this is not Underground Championship Boxing so naturally it doesn’t take long for the gloves and the trunks to come off.  The wrestling takes over, which is not a bad thing, we get to see Hiro with a more defined body, accented by a thong!  I though I was the only one that looked good in one, well Johnny too, but damn Hiro has an ass that rivals mine.  Ice Burg is his usual loud mouth self, and still as brutal as ever.  Though he could take a few exercise and dieting tips from Hiro.

 

Match #358: Quinn & Jax vs Eli & Oliver – The promising tag team of Eli and Quinn seems to have fallen as fast as it rose.  The two are at odds over who gets to wear the patented purple that they so very much adore.  Each seems to think that they own the color and apply it to their new tag partners.  The new tag partners are surprising to say the least though I can’t see them lasting beyond this one match.  Ice Burg steps in as the ref and does a mediocre job at best at his job, seriously we need to find a full time ref.  As is with most of our tag matches its total discord.  Who will come out on top between these two feuding heels?  The ending may surprise you.

Match #359: Oliver Wood vs Nick Diesel – Resident bondage expert Nick Diesel returns to tie up bandanna wearing, crotch stuffing, bad boy Oliver Wood.  The key to beating Nick is to not get trapped in the ropes that he always brings to the match.  Even better if you can get to the mat room before he starts setting up.   I can never really tell what side Nick is on.  Is he a bad boy heel, or one of the good guys like me, or is he there just for the pleasure of tieing up other guys?  I may never know.  For as much as I hate rope, I am always curious as to what new ideas this guy comes up with.  It also is good study material for me should I ever have to take him on again.

Match #360: Marcus Ares vs Axel – Its become tradition around here for newcomers to face me in their first official UCW match.  Rightfully so since Bodyslam can trust me not to paralyze or kill any of these guys.  Its only fitting here because I have been training newbie Marcus Ares, by far one of the biggest guys UCW has ever seen.  I think he would have given Corporal Punishment a damn good run for his money.  Marcus already has the belt in sight and so do I.  I plan on getting back that belt, and after this match I can see that Marcus is definitely a legitimate threat to that goal.  Get ready for one hot, literally, sweat soaked match (It was 93 degrees in the room)!

Throw Back Thursday – My First Wrestling Video

Long, long, ago.  In a galaxy far, far away.  Ok, so it was 5 years ago and it was in Wisconsin.  It was a Friday on a cool dreary April day.  I had set out with my 1990 Buick Regal GS (the one and only car I ever owned) from my college town of Stevens Point down to Milwaukee to meet with a man named Michael aka “Bodyslam” about wrestling for a new venture called UCW.

                                                                                    Prior to our meeting Bodyslam had contacted me via a website called allfighters (now called meetfighters), which was basically a social media website for anyone into meeting up or talking about wrestling and other combat sports.  Bodyslam reached out and asked to be a part of this new website and gave me his contact info.

Needless to say I was very skeptical at first.  I took his info and did as much Google/internet research as I could on him.  It brought me his previous wrestling endeavors which included NSW (New Stars of Wrestling) videos on Youtube.  From there I figured out that he was legit and that I would give it a shot.

The timing was critical too.  I was in a bad spot in my life.  I had recently dropped out of college, was working part time at a minimum wage job, and was suffering from depression and other medical issues.  I was ready for something new to help get me out of this funk that I was in.

We met half-way in Oshkosh, with two other potential wrestlers, and then drove the rest of the way to the house of James “The Never Give-Up Kid”.  After a few hours of talking, signing paperwork, and training from James it was go time.  Prior to this I had no pro wrestling training whatsoever.  I had stopped watching WWE back in my high school days because it lost the 90’s appeal that turned me into a fan.  So no surprise I was a bit lost when James was training us.  He was throwing out names of famous wrestlers before the 90’s and after the 90’s that I had no recollection of.  Moves that were beyond my arsenal much less my vocabulary.   However, after being taught the basics it was time for my first match.  The only problem was the guy I was suppose to face decided this wasn’t for him.  It was a sigh of relief on my part because he had actually participated in Bodyslams earlier pro wrestling feds and was more seasoned than I was.  He instead would go on to ref my first match against the man named JR.

                                                           Lights up and camera on.  Here I was, a 23 year old college drop out with some experience with Taekwondo, Karate, Judo, MMA, Boxing, but barely any wrestling.  I was up against a guy who was much more muscular and had prior wrestling experience, in a basement of a house infront of people I had only met in person that day.  To say I was scared was an understatement, I was terrified.  It was time to take what I had learned in the past and what I learned that day and fuse it together.  What transpired was the jolt energy I had been looking for.  Never before had I had so much fun, and I was getting paid for it too.

                                                           Back and forth JR and I put each other into painful awkward holds and dishing out equally awkward kicks and punches.  Looking back at it now my current self would whoop the two of them easily at once.  Its actually really painful for me to watch this video now because I see so many mistakes made in each other’s game plan.  However, that doesn’t diminish the feeling I had from that first match.  I remember at one point JR and I were both breathing heavily and exhausted, but still eager to make the other tap or pin his shoulders to the mat.  We both looked glanced and smiled at each other with this sadistic twinkle in our  eyes, as if to say “this is fucking fun.”

                                                           As those of you who have watched this match know, I ended up winning this match.  I had exhausted all the pro moves I could remember and decided to resort to some MMA tactics and was able to entrap JR in triangle choke.  I held on for all I had and he finally gave up the fight.  I almost didn’t let go until the ref stepped in and pulled me off.  I was ecstatic.  I come in and proven to myself that I could actually do this, I had even forgotten that there was a camera watching me the entire time.

Its fun to look back now and see how much I progressed.  Bodyslam even told me a few years later that after I had left, from that first day, even with a victory and a smile on my face, James, and the other core guys who started UCW, were convinced that I wouldn’t make it far.  Ironic, isn’t it?

Recent UCW…

Ok, so I started out with a good start to the blog and then I ignored it so lets play some catch up.  First up lets highlight the latest UCW matches.

                                           Match #347 – Black Dragon makes a return visit to the UCW mat and arguably reincarnated into a newer and better body.  Even  I don’t know who the real Black Dragon is.  He was a wrestler back in Bodyslam’s previous federation back in Milwaukee and has guarded the identity and probably will to his grave.  As is usually the case we were short a man and Nick Diesel was anxious for another fight (i.e. paycheck) before he headed back home so one phone call later and in through the door came the Dragon.  Nick is up to his usual rope and tricks which rarely let him down in a fight.  But it is Black Dragon that stunned us all by going where no Dragon has gone before, and that would be a thong!  What follows is nothing short of comical, action packed, and down right sexy action and humiliation.

                                           Match #348 – Dakota Bravo, an interesting man indeed and one of the bigger ones we’ve had here at UCW.  A wannabe mma fighter, I would certainly pay to see him and Eli go at it.  Of course we allow anyone to come in and fight in the UCW ring.  One day he called me out.  I was itching for a match myself, mainly because I wanted to show off my new octopus tights.  With the gloves strapped on and and bell rung we begin our lil brawler dance.  I may not always be the smartest wrestler, I’ll admit I can get a lil cocky and full of myself, so i will say trying to stand-up to a bigger brawler may not have been the best idea.  But boy did it make for a damn good video.

                                           Match #349 – Hunter Day and Billy Gun, 2 heels I have never really been fond of.  Hunter, a bum off the street with illusions of grandeur (case in point his very, very, record breaking short run as UCW champion who has no real skill and is just your usual bully.  Billy Gunn is the type of bully that should have stayed in school and graduated.  Whenever two heels enter the ring its always a guess as to who will walk away the winner.  There is also the chance that one heel will end the other’s career.  After this match I’m almost certain that one of these guy’s won’t be back.
