STATE OF THE UNION #10
UIPW News for 17 Sept 2007
HEADLINES
~ Updated line-up for STATE OF SHOCK on October 6th
~ Rumors abound about November's Union Title Tournament
UPDATED LINE-UP INFORMATION FOR "STATE OF SHOCK"
The UNION of INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL WRESTLERS returns to Toronto, Ontario, Canada on Saturday night October 6th for an event titled "STATE OF SHOCK". The Union roster will look to thrill and amaze the hometown faithful with another evening of UIPW excitement.
Owing to previous engagements, both STEVE CORINO and PEPPER PARKS have had to withdraw from the October 6th event. Both men promise to be back at Legion Hall #101 in November as they are the first two names to have been officially granted spots in the Union Heavyweight Title tournament.
With this news, the Union's Head of Fighters Affairs, AUSTIN SHAW, has announced the new main event for STATE OF SHOCK will see "The King of Iron City Hardcore" STERLING JAMES KEENAN go one-on-one with "The Havana Pitbull" RICKY REYES. These men are not strangers to one another. Reyes, the former Ring of Honor Tag Team champion, defeated Keenan one year ago today on his way to winning the IWC Heavyweight title in a tournament in Pittsburgh and would like to accomplish something similar in Toronto. Keenan wants to avenge that loss and solidify his place in November's tournament.
Then, in a no holds barred grudge match, the first-ever Union Heavyweight champion, "The Bastard Son of 1,000 Corpses" SEBASTIAN DARK takes on the last champion of the original Union, "Fabulous" JOHN McCHESNEY. Austin Shaw has put a spot in the November Heavyweight title tournament on the line in this match and both men want to prove that they are the past, present and future of the promotion.
Also announced, high-flying Northern Lights Division stand-out RIP IMPACT fights the debuting HENTAI. Impact is already proving himself to be one of the most popular workers in the Union and he hopes to continue his winning ways against the world-traveling cruiserweight veteran known as Hentai.
6'9", 300lb EDDIE VENOM returns to the Legion Hall on October 6th. After his complete destruction of THE ALL-KNIGHTERS at "BORN AGAIN", how will "The Motor City Monster" stack up against the wily veteran presence of REGGIE MARLEY? Jamaica's gift to professional wrestling will need to bring his "A-game" to fight Detroit's newest beast but with Union fans squarely on his side, Marley is eager for the challenge.
And speaking of the All-Knighters, the usually happy-go-lucky duo was anything but after getting their tickets punched by Eddie Venom. KEVIN GRACE and ROBIN KNIGHTWING have reportedly taken a "super-duper mega-binding lifetime pinky swear agreement" to never wrestle singles matches in the Union again. It's tag team matches or nothing for the All-Knighters and they'll get their chance to shine together at 'STATE OF SHOCK".
First up on their list? MATT BURNS and ASYLUM: the tag team known as THE FLATLINERS. How will the "all-night party people" fare against the size and muscle of Burns and Asylum? Join us on October 6th to find out!
The UNION of INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL WRESTLERS returns to Royal Canadian Legion Hall #101 in Toronto, Ontario on Saturday October 6th for "STATE OF SHOCK". Doors open at 630pm. Bell time is 7pm. The Legion Hall is located at 3850 Lake Shore Blvd West, midway between Dixie Road and Brown's Line and directly adjacent to both the Long Branch GO station and the TTC's Long Branch Loop.
Tickets are ON SALE NOW in person at the Legion Hall and online via the "UNION SHOP" at www.wrestlersunion.ca. The event is open to ALL AGES, but for those 19 and older, the Legion Hall includes a FULLY LICENSED BAR. Fans are reminded to bring valid ID and encouraged to use public transit if they plan to purchase alcohol.
THE UNION HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE TOURNAMENT IS COMING
As already mentioned, STEVE CORINO and PEPPER PARKS have already been assured their places in the Union Heavyweight title tournament being held November 3rd in Toronto. In addition, JOHN McCHESNEY and SEBASTIAN DARK will fight on October 6th for a place in the tournament. So with five more workers to be named to the tournament, the rumor mill is working overtime once again to guess the names of those fortunate few who will get a chance to become champion of the new Union.
STERLING JAMES KEENAN is an obvious choice and almost assuredly a shoe-in for a spot. His October 6th opponent, RICKY REYES, would certainly earn himself a berth win a victory of SJK. EDDIE OSBOURNE was apparently overheard bragging that he was already in the tournament, but AUSTIN SHAW has refused to confirm or deny this report. EDDIE VENOM has been spoken of very highly by Shaw on several occasions. Could the H. of F.A. be looking to add the "Motor City Monster" to the tournament mix? Where do men like REGGIE MARLEY and young sensation ETHAN PAGE stand in the title picture?
Austin Shaw has promised that fans will learn the full line-up for the tournament live and direct at October's STATE OF SHOCK event. Be there in person when the announcement is made!
THE UNION IS ON THE WEB!

Jack Brisco on !BANG! TV, MCW on Sept. 9th, Union & NWA Empire
Source: WRESTLEVIEW.COM
Funking Conservatory Press Release - Jack Brisco to Appear on !BANG! TV Sunday September 30
As NWA World Champion for 4 1/2 years in the early 70's I frequently traveled to the Florida Territory working for Eddie Graham. The major cities were Tampa, Orlando, Miami, West Palm Beach, Jacksonville, St. Petersburg and Tallahassee or Sarasota.
Eddie always went out of his way to book different shows in each city to give the wrestling fans a variety of different combinations. In most cases I would have two matches against Jack Brisco one on each end of the state.
Upon arriving at the Tampa Airport I grabbed a taxi to the Sportatorium on 106 North Albany where Eddie's office was on the second floor.
As I entered the Sportatorium I spoke to the keeper of the gate Charley Lay who said Eddie was in his office upstairs.
Even though he was an immaculate dresser in public, in his office, Eddie always wore open shirt casual dress and never turned the air conditioner on.
Many a young wrestler trying to impress one of the most powerful men in professional wrestling would dress to the hilt (Suit and Tie) for a meeting with Eddie Graham in his office at the Sportatorium.
Eddie would throw the tough questions about their wrestling background and watch as they melted and dripped perspiration as they tried their best to impress.
I entered Eddie's office wearing a light casual collared shirt.
Eddie said, "I have put a lot of thought to who you are working with this week and when I tell you, you are going to think I haven't put any thought into it at all. You are working with Jack Brisco every night. It is the match the wrestling fans want to see and we are going to give them what they want."
All week long it was standing room only for Dory Funk Jr. vs Jack Brisco for the NWA World Championship.
Jack Brisco will be in attendance at our next !BANG! TV Taping, Support the Troops 20, "Funking Fall Fight," Sunday September 30th.
Now on our website at www.dory-funk.com on !BANG! TV from Tokyo Japan we have video of a match between myself and Jack Brisco wrestling for the NWA World Championship.
For ticket information to !BANG! TV and training schedules at the Funking Conservatory, Call 352-895-4658 or visit our website.

Tonight, Saturday September the 8th, the Union of Independent Professional Wrestlers holds its first show in over 3 years and it's first ever show in Toronto, Ontario. The show, titled "BORN AGAIN" will be headlined by 4-time World Champion and ECW Original, "The King of Old School" STEVE CORINO, as he goes into battle against upstart indy sensation STERLING JAMES KEENAN.
"Tha O Show" will be out in force, as Big Daddy Donnie and Dan-e-o will be in the house, laying down the play-by-play for the Hammerlock Video DVD release.
The card itself promises to be one of the more exciting shows Toronto has seen in some time. The Corino-Keenan battle has been simmering for over a year, starting in Britain's 1PW promotion where Keenan guided TNA's monster, Abyss, to the 1PW Championship. Abyss lost the title to Corino following an incident in which both Abyss and Keenan physically assaulted Corino's 9 year old son, Colby.
Their hatred continued to grow on the American indy circuit. In Cleveland's Absolute Intense Wrestling, Corino captured the Absolute Championship which Keenan had been gunning for. Keenan feels that Corino swept in and stole the belt that was soon to be his. In Buffalo, less than two weeks ago, Keenan defeated Samoa Joe and Rikishi at BaseBrawl VII to capture the Natural Heavyweight title. Backstage, Corino and Keenan clashed as SJK bragged about his championship win.
This battle will explode Saturday night when Steve Corino and Sterling James Keenan meet in singles action for only the second time ever. Will this put an end to their situation or is it just the beginning of an all-out war?
"BORN AGAIN" also features an incredible array of indy talent in some exciting match-ups.
EL GENERICO, the brash young luchador who's taken promotions like Ring Of Honor, Pro Wrestling Guerilla and the International Wrestling Syndicate by storm, is coming to the Union. He will face off against the growing ego of "Fabulous" JOHN McCHESNEY. McChesney is the current IWC Super Indy champion, a title he has now held four times, and wants fans to remember that he was the last champion of the original Union. With the tournament to crown the NEW Union Champion coming in November, both of these men will be looking to make a big impression on Union officials in this match.
Buffalo, NY native PEPPER PARKS will be at "BORN AGAIN" to take on brash young RICKY LANDELL. Parks is fast becoming a force to be reckoned with in the NWA where he is the current NWA Empire champion and recently competed in the tournament to choose a new NWA World champ. Landell is a mover and shaker in the rival AWA where he is a former World Tag Team champion and has held several regional titles including his current reign as Zero-One Max United States champion.
Homegrown Ontario talent will also be on display at "BORN AGAIN" and will certainly be front and centre with the debut of the North Lights Cruiserweight division. Cambridge, Ontario native EDDIE OSBOURNE will take on his heated rival, Hamilton's own RIP IMPACT. And hometown Toronto fan favourite The HORNET goes up against "The Future of Fashion", SHIIMA XION. Both of these matches promise to be incredibly exciting with the high-risk, fast-paced Northern Lights style on full display.
In addition there will be matches featuring ROBIN KNIGHTWING and KEVIN GRACE of the legendary ALL-KNIGHTERS stable, "The Bastard Son of 1,000 Corpses" SEBASTIAN DARK, the 6 foot 9 inch "Motor City Monster" EDDIE VENOM, "The Big Ticket" REGGIE MARLEY, "The Right Stuff" BRODIE LEE and much, much more...
Join the Union for a night of excitement this Saturday night when pro wrestling in Toronto is "BORN AGAIN".

Tonight, Saturday September the 8th, the Union of Independent Professional Wrestlers holds its first show in over 3 years and it's first ever show in Toronto, Ontario. The show, titled "BORN AGAIN" will be headlined by 4-time World Champion and ECW Original, "The King of Old School" STEVE CORINO, as he goes into battle against upstart indy sensation STERLING JAMES KEENAN.
"Tha O Show" will be out in force, as Big Daddy Donnie and Dan-e-o will be in the house, laying down the play-by-play for the Hammerlock Video DVD release.
The card itself promises to be one of the more exciting shows Toronto has seen in some time. The Corino-Keenan battle has been simmering for over a year, starting in Britain's 1PW promotion where Keenan guided TNA's monster, Abyss, to the 1PW Championship. Abyss lost the title to Corino following an incident in which both Abyss and Keenan physically assaulted Corino's 9 year old son, Colby.
Their hatred continued to grow on the American indy circuit. In Cleveland's Absolute Intense Wrestling, Corino captured the Absolute Championship which Keenan had been gunning for. Keenan feels that Corino swept in and stole the belt that was soon to be his. In Buffalo, less than two weeks ago, Keenan defeated Samoa Joe and Rikishi at BaseBrawl VII to capture the Natural Heavyweight title. Backstage, Corino and Keenan clashed as SJK bragged about his championship win.
This battle will explode Saturday night when Steve Corino and Sterling James Keenan meet in singles action for only the second time ever. Will this put an end to their situation or is it just the beginning of an all-out war?
"BORN AGAIN" also features an incredible array of indy talent in some exciting match-ups.
EL GENERICO, the brash young luchador who's taken promotions like Ring Of Honor, Pro Wrestling Guerilla and the International Wrestling Syndicate by storm, is coming to the Union. He will face off against the growing ego of "Fabulous" JOHN McCHESNEY. McChesney is the current IWC Super Indy champion, a title he has now held four times, and wants fans to remember that he was the last champion of the original Union. With the tournament to crown the NEW Union Champion coming in November, both of these men will be looking to make a big impression on Union officials in this match.
Buffalo, NY native PEPPER PARKS will be at "BORN AGAIN" to take on brash young RICKY LANDELL. Parks is fast becoming a force to be reckoned with in the NWA where he is the current NWA Empire champion and recently competed in the tournament to choose a new NWA World champ. Landell is a mover and shaker in the rival AWA where he is a former World Tag Team champion and has held several regional titles including his current reign as Zero-One Max United States champion.
Homegrown Ontario talent will also be on display at "BORN AGAIN" and will certainly be front and centre with the debut of the North Lights Cruiserweight division. Cambridge, Ontario native EDDIE OSBOURNE will take on his heated rival, Hamilton's own RIP IMPACT. And hometown Toronto fan favourite The HORNET goes up against "The Future of Fashion", SHIIMA XION. Both of these matches promise to be incredibly exciting with the high-risk, fast-paced Northern Lights style on full display.
In addition there will be matches featuring ROBIN KNIGHTWING and KEVIN GRACE of the legendary ALL-KNIGHTERS stable, "The Bastard Son of 1,000 Corpses" SEBASTIAN DARK, the 6 foot 9 inch "Motor City Monster" EDDIE VENOM, "The Big Ticket" REGGIE MARLEY, "The Right Stuff" BRODIE LEE and much, much more...
Join the Union for a night of excitement this Saturday night when pro wrestling in Toronto is "BORN AGAIN".
