Here are some quick bios for two new and one familiar face.

 

From GRRS Promotions in Pittsburgh, PA, the home of WCW/NWA -- it's Mr. X.   Hailing from parts unknown, Mr. X is a former champion who has wrestled in and been kicked out of promotions around the world -- sometimes due to his brash personality, but usually due to "cost cuts".  He has now forgone his former wrestling identity (Rust Belt Ricky) and dons a black mask with an "X" on it (think Racer X from Speed Racer) and black tights and wrestles everywhere for those fellow wrestlers who have been spurned or held back -- mostly as a singles wrestler and sometimes in tag team partner, The Black Panther -- or even as a fill-in tag partner for someone who needs one.  As he says: "To all the big money corporations who run wrestling today and have cast aside wrestlers like me -- I've held your titles and I've eaten your catering and I'm here to take your belts!  You know me, but you'll never know who I am!"

 

The "Caped Crusader" is a tall, whisper-thin wrestling fan that has been going to wrestling shows for many years.  He has absolutely no professional wrestling training, and his physique is rather underwhelming, but he certainly has a lot of speed on his side, and a lot of heart too!  Knowing the odds of ever making it in professional wrestling are stacked against him, he decides to make a big splash one day at a wrestling show, secretly wearing an old-school, Adam-West-style Batman suit (including cape and tights) under his normal clothes.  When a random bad guy wins a match by cheating in the ring, the Caped Crusader stands up from his seat in the crowd, dons his mask, rips off his outer clothes to reveal his Batman costume, and then charges into the ring, dodging past security guards and attacking the villainous wrestler that pulled off the unfair victory.  If he can last long enough in a match to wear down his opponents, he does have within himself the strength and the wherewithal to throw one really powerful punch: a lightning fast jab to the kisser that can bring down even the most formidable foe - the Wham!Bam!Pow!

 

On loan from TL Promotions is The Morning Star Tommy Sullivan, the self-described "Dark Messiah" has taken the name of his trainer and magus, Kevin Sullivan.  The ring legend pulled the wayward youth off the streets of South Boston, and trained him in the dark arts, mind manipulation, and in-ring savagery.  Is he a common street thug?  A cult leader?  The Fallen Angel?  The Harbinger of the Apocalypse? Regardless of the label, he is pure and unadulterated violence, and evil personified.  The Morningstar is committed to continuing his mentor's "Legacy of Brutality" which is best illustrated with his creation of, and undefeated record* in, the 7th Circle of Hell Match, the most sadistic match in the history of pro wrestling. 

 

‘Top Gun’ Justin Winger returns backstage.  He is visiting with some old acquaintances and meeting new ones until he is blindsided by the Banker.  The Banker hits him repeatedly with the briefcase and yells “I haven’t forgotten about you”.  Ruth pulls out a big stamp and pastes “DENIED” on Winger’s forehead (this happened also in a past encounter between the two).  The Banker and Ruth leave while alternately repeating “Repossessed” and “Denied”.

 

There is a chance a couple more special guests may show but this doesn’t even include the HCW roster so we’re expecting a wiz-bang of a show.  It’s coming up next so stay tuned.
