Firestorm Pro Wrestling

Final Card for Friday's Farewell show "FOREVER STANDING UNITED"

2010-09-07T13:22:00.000-07:00

This Friday Night at The Phantasy Niteclub in Lakewood, Ohio; FIRESTORM PRO WRESTLING Presents its final show before taking a hiatus. The show will be titled FOREVER STANDING UNITED! It will be a night in tribute to the accomplishments of the past three years. It will also be a celebration of the ones who helped build Firestorm and have now moved on to bigger things. Doors will be open at 7 with a 8pm belltime. The show should run till about 10:45 and then stick around for the afterparty!

MAIN EVENT - 6 MAN ELIMINATION FOR THE FIRESTORM PRO CHAMPIONSHIP
When JC announced his hiatus from the world of professional wrestling. He was contacted by many wrestlers that wanted one last shot at "Big League" John McChesney. After much consideration it was an opportunity to pay tribute to the match that decided the first champion "The Deviant" Michael Hutter. There will be 5 championship qualification matches to determine who will then face McChesney in the main event. Since first announcing the last show a few weeks back there has been a number of additions to the qualifying matches.

THREE WAY DANCE- "THE KING OF CLEVELAND" J ROCC VS RYAN MITCHELL VS PATRICK HAYES
Since defeating PJ Kinny in last June's Cleveland Street Fight, Patrick Hayes's life has taken many much needed turns. Changes that has made everything he does so much more important. Changes that has prepared him to become a champion. It wasn't until recently that Patrick Hayes even knew if he could compete on Firestorm's Farewell show. But when he was able to make the sacrifices needed to compete on the show he immediately asked for a qualifying match with "The King of Clevleand" J Rocc. J Rocc was Patrick Hayes's tag team partner at the start of Firestorm but as they went seperate ways, both men went down very different paths. But when Patrick Hayes was cheated out of his opportunity to become "The King of Cleveland" Patrick Hayes had enough. Since Hayes is still the #1 contender for the Firestorm Championship, he was granted any match he wanted for the final show. The match that was originally suppose to be J Rocc vs the up and coming Ryan Mitchell, will now be a 3 way dance for an opportunity to compete in the 6 man elimination match.

LAST MAN STANDING- SHIIMA XION VS LOU MARCONI
Lou Marconi is a man that stands alone against the wave of fresh blood in the wrestling world today. After many matches with the youth of Firestorm there was one man that was just too much of a young star for Lou Marconi's taste. That man is Shiima Xion. Shiima Xion represents every bit of the future of professional wrestling. His high pace in ring skills, ever changing appearance, and world wide fame is everything an "Old School" ring veteran is trying to fight to perserve the business he helped build over the last 15 years. After many very intense collisions between these two, it was at last June's RISE OF 2010 that Shiima helped a rookie named Tim Green beat Lou Marconi. Lou Marconi snapped and forced JC to make a match for September 10th with himself and Shiima Xion. But Lou demanded the match to be a "Last Man Standing Match" Soon after the show Firestorm representatives lost communication with Shiima Xion. Figuring he was just scared of Lou Marconi, Lou Marconi was booked in a rematch with Dylan Gage (formerly Tim Green). After much back and forth with Shiima's attorney, it was agreed that he is very much still signed on for the match on September 10th and THE LAST MAN STANDING MATCH will happen. But now the winner of the match will go on to compete in the main event for the Firestorm Championship.

Firestorm Champion "Big League" John McChesney & Shane Taylor vs Patrick Hayes and Colin Delaney
With the help of his favorite lady friend "Big League" Stephanie, John McChesney was able to steal a win from M-Dogg 20 Matt Cross at Rise of the Real Underground. And now that Patrick Hayes has taken PJ Kinney out of Firestorm in a very brutal Cleveland Street Fight last month he has his sights set again on the Firestorm Championship. Interestingly enough Firestorm Pro Wrestling has just signed one of John's biggest enemies in the world of professional wrestling, former ECW STAR COLIN DELANEY! When Firestorm Pro owner had 2 men who he feels are the future of Firestorm begging him for a chance to take on John McChesney, he decided that they both need to earn the opportunity for a title shot. But they can both have John McChesney now. Also, Whoever gets the winning pin on eather member of Big League gets the title shot at SOMETHING TO DIE FOR 2010 on September 10th @ The Phantasy. With all the miscommunications between McChesney and Shane Taylor, McChesney once again has to put the fate of his championship in Shane's hands.

***FIRST TIME EVER***
"The King of Cleveland" J-Rocc vs "Old School" Lou Marconi
The first time match up promises to be one for the classics. 2 of Firestorm's most successful ring veterans meet in the ring for the first time ever!!! Since winning the King of Cleveland J-Rocc has now taken his new title to his head. He is now as he likes to say "Living The Life" with full challace and crown. Lou Marconi promises to put his dislike of J-Rocc aside for this one time match to prove to the current "Youth Movement" of Firestorm Pro "How real men wrestle".

***TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH***
Club DB (c) vs The Aftermath & Ares
These two teams met back in March at THE KING OF CLEVELAND in a non title match. Club DB was very surprised at the athletisism and teamwork out of Aftermath and Ares. They barely where able to escape with a win. Now this time it will be for the Tag Titles. What kind of offence will Aftermath and Ares bring on August 1st? Will Club DB be as lucky as last time?

Rufio vs Club DB's Gabe
With the exciting debut of the newest member of Club DB, Gabe has all the confidence of his boys behind him. He right away asked to wrestle one of Firestorm's hottest stars in Rufio. Can Gabe win the match with his mad skills and good looks or will Rufio beat him like he beat his boy Broza?

2010-07-01T12:52:00.000-07:00

Firestorm Pro Wrestling presented “Rise of the Real Underground 2010” at the Phantasy Theatre in Lakewood, Ohio, on June 25.

A – In a dark match, “Gifted” Gabriel Evans pinned Jacob McCoy after a spinebuster.

1 – El Hijo del Padre pinned Ivan Radsky with La Majistral cradle.

“Machine Gun” Kelly came out (to a video of him smoking, scarfing down food, and chugging chocolate milk) to host The Shootout. He crowned J-Rocc as the King of Cleveland after his win on March 19. Team Big League came out to join the celebration, although Shane Taylor was reluctant to place the crown on J-Rocc’s head.

This party was interrupted by the Metal Militia (Matthew Justice & Nikki Valentino), who challenged J-Rocc and Taylor to match later in the night.

2 – Tim Green upset Lou Marconi with a rollup after Shiima Xion sprayed Marconi in the eyes with hairspray.

3 – Firestorm tag team champions Club DB (Justin and CJ, with Brosa) defeated The Gambino Brothers (Mickey & Marshall) to retain the titles after a belt shot.

Ruthless Rufio Rapier came out for a four-corners match, but “Starless” PJ Kinney blasted him with a chair. Officials helped Rufio to the back.

4 – Shiima Xion won a four-corners match over The Aftermath, Jason Gory, and “Omega” Aaron Draven (subbing for Rufio). Xion scored the pin with a Romero Special (surfboard) into a victory roll.

5 – Metal Militia upset J-Rocc and Shane Taylor, scoring a pin after the opponents collided. J-Rocc blamed Taylor for the loss, and the two nearly came to blows until “Big League” John McChesney came out to calm things down.

Marconi came out with Firestorm co-owner JC and forced him to sign a Marconi vs. Xion in a Last Man Standing match at Something to Die For 2010 on Friday, Sept. 10 at the Phantasy Theatre in Lakewood, Ohio.

6. “Kegstand” Patrick Hayes pinned PJ Kinney in a Cleveland street fight after Rufio got revenge on Kinney, leading to Hayes winning with a “Hayesed and Confused” frog splash off the top rope.

7. In the main event, Firestorm champ “Big League” John McChesney (with Collin Ta This, Sassy Stephanie, and Shane Taylor) pinned Matt Cross to retain the title. Steph planted a HUGE kiss on referee Nate Pierce, allowing the champ to score the win with a title belt shot.

After the match, Cross knocked McChesney down and placed a birthday cake on his chest. Then Cross hit a 450 splash off the top, destroying the cake to end the show.

Veteran Roller Derby announcer JW Stafford joined Machine Gun Kelly and Jeff Gorman on commentary.

DOUBLE MAIN EVENT ANNOUNCED FOR RISE OF 2010

2010-05-03T14:49:00.000-07:00

Firestorm Pro Champion "Big League" John McChesney vs. "MDogg20" Matt Cross

Now that McChesney has used his skill, timing, and plenty of emotional manipulation to send Ray Rowe out of the promotion, he is trying to establish himself as a fighting champion.

Still, he will use any tricks possible to hang onto the title, along with the members of Team Big League (Stephanie, Colin Ta This, and Shane Taylor).

His challenge will come from Cleveland’s own Matt Cross, who has wowed fans on every continent with his death-defying aerial antics. Cross has a golden opportunity to take over his home promotion and grab the most prestigious title in Cleveland.

Considering McChesney’s accomplishments, this is a golden opportunity to see a pair of accomplished athletes compete with so much on the line.

NO HOLDS BARRED

Patrick Hayes has earned a shot at the Firestorm title, but first he must take out his hated foe, “TheeStar” P.J. Kinney.

Kinney has interfered in Hayes’ matches repeatedly, even dressing as a member of Mushroomhead to throw powder into Hayes’ eyes, costing the hard-partying fan favorite a chance to be King of Cleveland.

Of course, Hayes dressed as Santa Claus to set up an attack on Kinney. Will Hayes finally put TheeStar away? Or will Kinney stick it to man who he thinks gets favored treatment from Firestorm management?

After all of these attacks, on June 25, this fight has to happen…no matter what!!!

PLUS A HIGH FLYING 4 WAY DANCE!!!

JUST ANNOUNCED RISE OF THE REAL UNDERGROUND 2010 JUNE 25TH!!!

Updated Card-List of Participants

2010-03-15T17:03:00.000-07:00

“KING of CLEVELAND” on MARCH 19

King of Cleveland will be a history-making night in Firestorm Pro Wrestling. Fans will enjoy a one-of-a-kind 30-man battle royale, and Ray Rowe will either regain the Firestorm title or leave the Cleveland wrestling scene.

“Big League” John McChesney goaded Rowe into a title shot on Feb. 5 and walked away as the two-time Firestorm champion. Rowe, still bent on revenge for McChesney’s horrendous attack on his fiancée, Samantha, in December, has put his career on the line in the rematch…which will take place in a steel cage!

“Kegstand” Patrick Hayes has reclaimed his spot as the No. 1 contender to the Firestorm title, but he can’t see his way to the gold because he is blinded by his desire for revenge against the wrestler formerly known as Starless.

Now known as “TheeStar” P.J. Kinney, the reinstated villain will do anything to take down one of the men he perceives as the “chosen favorites” of Firestorm co-owner JC.

However, revenge will have to wait for both men, as Kinney has produced a doctor’s note claiming that Kinney suffered a broken rib while battling “Bloody” Morty Rackem.

Instead, Hayes will battle Bill Collier, who was previously declared the No. 1 contender but was unable to make it through the snowstorm to claim his title shot in February. Hayes and Collier will battle to determine the true No. 1 contender.

Rufio will make his singles debut in Firestorm after his longtime Cut Throat Crew partner, “Bloody” Morty Rackem has taken his talents to Florida. The popular Rufio will take on Rocky Reynolds from Erie, Pa., who will be making his Firestorm debut.

Club DB (Justin, CJ, and Brosa) has dominated the Firestorm tag team scene and maintained a stranglehold on the tag team belts. They were scheduled to battle Matthew Justice & Nicky Valentino in a non-title match.

However, Valentino is sidelined with a hernia. Instead, The Aftermath will team for the first time with his brother, Ares, to battle the Pittsburgh party posse. Now that Aftermath has finished his war with “The Big Daddy of Destruction” J-Rocc, he can take aim at the tag team titles with his brother.

Justice will still compete in the King of Cleveland match, while Valentino does live color commentary with Jeff Gorman.

Gorman’s usual partner, Machine Gun Kelly, has a special assignment: interviewing Firestorm Pro Wrestling’s only two-time champion, “Big League” John McChesney on a live version of his controversial Internet talk show, "The Shootout."

Sassy Stephanie has dominated the female competition in Firestorm. She will try to keep her undefeated streak alive when she faces county gal Brittany McCoy.

Will we see interference from Team Big League members Collin Ta This and Notorious Shane Taylor? If so, will Brittany’s cousin, Jedediah McCoy, be able to stop them?

Shiima Xion totally disrespected one of the most successful wrestlers to come out of Cleveland in the last two decades, Lou Marconi, in November.

Marconi responded by locking him in the crossface and refusing to let go when Xion was in the ropes, costing Marconi the match on a disqualification.

The rematch will be a battle for respect and a valuable prize: the No. 30 spot in the King of Cleveland match.

“King of Cleveland” will be a 30-man, Royal Rumble-style battle royale with a twist. The Final Four will do battle elimination style until one man is crowned King of Cleveland!

RESULTS FROM DEAD MAN WALKING

2010-02-10T18:41:00.000-08:00

Firestorm Pro Wrestling presented its first show of 2010, "Dead Man Walking" on Feb. 5 at the Phantasy Night Club in Lakewood, Ohio.

1. "Big League" Sassy Stephanie pinned Nevaeh
- neckbreaker

Ring announcer Chuck Roberts went to the bar to interview tag team champions Club DB. CJ Sensation was ready to wrestle, but Justin Idol was in jail and Joe Brosa was on crutches after a barroom brawl one night earlier. Roberts informed CJ that he must find a partner to defend the tag team belts later in the night.

2. Shane Taylor & Marcus Knight (with Angel Dust) beat Jedidiah McCoy and his debuting cousin, Jacob McCoy
- Taylor pinned Jacob after the "Unprovoked Violence" clothesline on Jacob.

3. Patrick Hayes won a five-man lucha scramble to become the No. 1 contender to the Firestorm title over Nicky Valentino, Jason Gory, Matthew Justice, and Tim Greene.
- "Hazed and Confuzed" frog splash on Greene

Hayes asked JC to reinstate Starless (now known as "TheeStar" PJ Kinney) so he could get revenge. JC refused, saying Kinney would never wrestle in Firestorm again.

4. Firestorm Pro Wrestling champion Ray Rowe beat the man who trained him, Lou Marconi.
- German suplex

"Big League" John McChesney appeared after hiding all night from Rowe, who considered McChesney a "Dead Man Walking" after last month's vicious piledriver on Rowe's fiancee, Samantha Anne. Stephanie was dressed as Samantha.

McChesney's agent, Colin Ta This, said he had a restraining order against Rowe. If Rowe punched McChesney, he would go to jail...unless he gave McChesney an immediate title match.

Rowe punched McChesney and forced JC to lift his year-long ban on title shots for McChesney in order to keep Rowe out of jail. However, when the legal briefcase was opened, it only contained blown-up photos of McChesney forcibly kissing Samantha just before she slapped him and got piledriven.

5. John McChesney pinned Ray Rowe to become the first two-time Firestorm Pro Wrestling champion.
- rollup, pulling the tights

JC ordered a rematch in a steel cage for March 19 at "King of Cleveland." Rowe said that if he can't beat McChesney in a cage, he will never wrestle again in Cleveland.

6. CJ Sensation defied owner JC by choosing the thorn in his side, PJ Kinney, to defend the tag team titles against Irish Airborne and Cut Throat Crew. It looked like the Crew won the titles after a swanton bomb by Rufio Rapier, but the referee restarted the match because of a foot under the bottom rope. Kenney and CJ won the match after using the title belts.

After the match, the entire locker room emptied to send off Cut Throat Crew member Bloody Morty Rackem, who will be moving down to Florida. The fans and workers chanted "Thank You, Morty" for everything he has done for Firestorm in and out of the ring.

7. In a bloody I Quit match, The Aftermatch defeated J-Rocc. The fight went to the bar, and J-Rocc busted Aftermath open with a fork, a la Abdullah the Butcher. Aftermath later slammed J-Rocc's head in a chair, busting him open as well

At one point, J-Rocc had Aftermath handcuffed to the ropes, but Aftermath flipped J-Rocc out of the ring and retrieved the key. Later, J-Rocc hit a backbreaker off the top rope but hurt his own knee in the process.

Aftermath went after the knee with a figure-four leglock . He manuevered J-Rocc so he was hanging out the ring upside down. Then Aftermath handcuffed himself for extra leverage, and as the handcuffs broke, J-Rocc finally said "I Quit."

"King of Cleveland" on March 19 will be a 30-man Royal Rumble-style match. However, when the Final Four are in the ring, the match will change to an elimination match. The show will also feature Firestorm champ John McChesney vs. Ray Rowe in a title vs. career steel cage match, and Patrick Hayes vs. P.J. Kinney in a grudge match. See you there!

RESULTS FOR DESTROY ERASE IMPROVE 2009

2010-01-03T13:25:00.000-08:00

Firestorm Pro Wrestling celebrated its second anniversary on Dec. 30 with “Destroy Erase Improve 2009” in the Phantasy Nite Club (upstairs from the usual Phantasy Theater venue) in Lakewood, Ohio.

Firestorm co-owner JC came out with the ladies of the promotion and Santa Claus to fire up the crowd with some giveaways to kick off the show.

This festive atmosphere was ruined by Phil Kinney, who formerly wrestled here as “Starless’ and has returned on the last two shows to attack the men he considers to be JC’s favorites: Patrick Hayes and Rufio Rapier.

Kinney got in JC’s face until Rapier’s partner, “Bloody” Morty Rackem, came out of one of the nightclub’s TWO pirate ships to attack him.

Kinney battled Rackem in an unofficial match and tried to break his neck by wrapping a chair around it and stomping him from the top rope.

However, Santa Claus came back to the ring a clobbered Kinney with a chair! Santa revealed himself to be “Kegstand” Patrick Hayes, who then enjoyed his beer celebration with the fans.

1. Matthew Justice won a four-way scramble match over Nicky Valentino, Jason Gory, and “M-Dogg 20” Matt Cross
- springboard clothesline on Valentino

2. “Notorious” Shane Taylor (with Colin Ta This & Big League Stephanie) pinned Jedediah McCoy
- “Unprovoked Violence” clothesline

3. Club DB (Justin & CJ, with Brosa and their female companions) retained the Firestorm tag team title with a win over Aeroform (Louis Lyndon & Flip Kendrick)
- “The Bar Is Closed” double kick to the head

Lou Marconi came to the ring to complain that Colt Cabana couldn’t wrestle due to a torn hamstring. “What is wrong with these young wrestlers today?” he asked, since the same thing happened to him with Matt Cross twice earlier in the year. He challenged anyone to come to the ring to fight him.

Shiima Xion came out called Marconi a “never was” who hasn’t won a significant title in 10 years. The battle was on!

4. Shiima Xion beat Lou Marconi by DQ when Marconi refused to release the crossface after Xion reached the ropes. Marconi spat in the face of referee Mick Lovin and Firestorm champion Ray Rowe finally had to come to the ring to calm down Marconi.

5. Firestorm co-owner Waylon (from the band MushroomHead) & The Aftermath defeated Big League John McChesney & J-Rocc.
Waylon had been training with Rowe and showed surprising still in this match. He ended up pinning J-Rocc after a stunner. McChesney & J-Rocc were more concerned with ending Waylon’s music career (by attacking his throat) than with scoring a pinfall.

6. In a Cleveland street fight, Ray Rowe defeated Necro Butcher to retain the Firestorm championship. Necro battled the champ all over the club, behind the bar, onto the other pirate ship, and at one point, Rowe suplexed Necro on the floor!

Rowe hit the Oklahoma Stampede in a tribute to Steve “Dr. Death” Williams, who had passed away earlier in the day. Rowe finally won the match by powerbombing Necro off the top rope through a table.

Rowe wasn’t able to celebrate because McChesney came to the ring and grabbed his fiancée, Samantha Anne. McChesney planted a kiss on her, so she smacked him in the face.

Enraged, McChesney drilled Samantha with a piledriver! An ambulance was summoned, and four doctors and an EMT came out of the crowd to offer their help to the fallen Samantha.

Rowe will have to wait to get McChesney in the ring, because it’s Big Bill Collier’s turn to get a title shot on Feb. 5 at Dead Man Walking. Also, Aftermath will battle J-Rocc in an I Quit match.

*** Thats right as a special to all the fans of FIRESTORM PRO WRESTLING if you purchase the War Games 2009 DVD online you get a FREE THIS IS AWSOME T-SHIRT (Seen Below). A $25 Dollar value for only $20!!!

Firestorm Pro is one of many promotions in the growing hotbed of professional wrestling in Ohio, and notably the Cleveland area. War Games, which promoter JC Koszewski calls the best show from top to bottom that I have ever been involved with is the latest of a growing number of awesome DVDs from the area.

This event took place on July 10th of this year, and is the culmination of a feud in the company between the Big League faction, headed by Fabulous John McChesney, and the home brand, Team Firestorm, with the big names and a seemingly temporary alliance with Raymond Rowe, one of the biggest names in the Ohio/Pennsylvania indy scene.

War Games is of course, an homage to the always spectacular spectacle of a cage match with bloodthirsty combatants and the blow off match of all blow off matches.

At least, if youre paying attention to details.

And details are what Firestorm brings to the table.

I loved Awesome Intense Wrestling, and JC Koszewski was one of the partners in that group, and is now taking his vision to his own promotion. While theres always going to be points of contention when youre a cutting edge visionary, I find Firestorm Pro a little more mainstream, but at the same time much more creative. Instead of some of the overblown trappings and ongoing darkness to the matches of AIW, Firestorm Pro keeps it pretty focused on the ring.

Somewhat annoying is the announcing to the crowd, but if thats the only bother on a DVD, then the promotions doing way more things correct than not.

Firestorm tries to maintain a view coming at an angle over the ring post (instead of looking in at the match over the middle of the ropes) and its sort of strange seeing a guy on a ladder behind the ring while the match is going on. Of course, with the War Games setup also domineering around the ring, youre not likely to get that distracted.

But enough nitpicking.

What I love about Firestorm Pro is that they are using the ring as a canvas, in terms of creativity and pushing the envelope, not just rehashing the old things. Well, you can argue War Games is ancient, and the concept of two factions fighting for the control of a promotion rather passé, but who has done that storyline successfully and entertainingly since WCW/NWO?

Whats nice about the War Games DVD is that it isnt dominated by the gimmicked main event.

The card itself plays up to that finale, but not every match, and theres clearly some momentum and storylines making their own waves along the way.

Opening up the DVD is a match between Kenny Hendrix and Nickie Valentino. Hendrix is a big black guy who comes to the ring carrying a smaller chick. Its somewhat cringe-worthy, and somewhat pushing the envelope, but when it comes down to it, its professional wrestling doing what it does best making fans think, creating dynamics and changing things up.

Three things that the WWE seems incapable of doing, and TNA couldnt do if they had to do so.

Which got me into the promotion from the start. Point is, TNA has this no man/woman violence, and I do give that a half-hearted applause, but really, any pro wrestling promoter with half a brain wouldnt just walk up to that line, but would jump around it like a freak on a pogo stick.

Firestorm Pro and Kenny Hendrix man, they do things that make me worry, but its all good in the end.

And, before you start thinking things out, Nickie Valentino aint a chick. Hes a rather vanilla babyface who does the right things in the match, and outside of it, and puts on a good showing for himself.

Next up is Big League Stephanie against Vicky.

What I appreciate with Firestorm is that they arent doing Playboy bunnies or pillow fights or funny business. They are far more like WSU than the WWE, more in line with SHIMMER than TNA. These gals are putting on a wrestling match, and while the pace and spots werent all there at times, I was more impressed at the passion and the workrate than I would ever be dismissive of them as athletes.

Theres some more threatened and not so threatened man on women violence here, and a stand off that really comes across well, even though you knew it had to happen. Theres something about the image of Raymond Rowe and his posse that I cannot understand hasnt been stolen yet by the less-than-Creative types.

So much the better.

War Games contains the first two rounds of a Firestorm Pro Tag Team Championship tournament.

First match was The Irish Airborn, Dave and Jake Crist are well known in national indy circles. The Dayton Ohio brothers can run with the Briscoes, and are thus at the top of the heap of tag teams in the indy circuit. Surprisingly, they arent put over in this match, instead we get this team purported to be bouncers (or was it just dance kids?) from Pittsburgh.

Its fun when you play off that Cleveland/Pittsburgh rivalry, or any sort of big picture rivalry that can get the fans into the action from different psychological levels. Then again, Im probably speaking over the heads of certain wrestling figures.

Oh, well.

So a couple of skinny kids from Pittsburgh get to look good in a match against an established team. Nice use of visiting talent.

Next up is the next Tournament match, with the more established Cut Throat Crew Hey, Pirates! Against The Dead Nation hey, is that a goth gimmick, a 1960s hippie gimmick or what? I didnt think these guys could follow the Crists, but they certainly impressed me.

Firestorm Pro is setting up a nice division of tag teams, and well, any promotion willing to do tag teams the right way is one to watch.

M- Dogg 20 shows up next, admitting to an injury that keeps him out of a match with Lou Marconi. (That match will be taking place soon.) Instead, Matt Cross brings out Mathew Justice to take his place, against Lou Marconi, whos done some time in Western Pennsylvania promotions like the IWC.

Marconis looking big, but not in a Kenny Hendrix sort of fashion.

But he has a reputation as a solid worker, and the playing up of Justice as a protégé and the dynamics of such play out, setting up the eventual collision between a couple of more than capable grapplers.

Now, we reach the Main Event, and some excellent use of dynamics, psychology and expectations.

This is Awesome is a chant that doesnt always hold up to scrutiny, and Im hesitant to comment on using it here, except for the reality that when a company builds up a match, establishes the feud and brings the fans into a frenzy, then that company is doing all the right moves.

What impressed me was that the match was much more important, much more impressive and much more entertaining than the sum of the parts.

Thats because we know how War Games works, we know where the direction of the storyline is going, and instead of a big swerve, a big gimmick or some craziness that would blow up the promotion or leave everything hanging, they just play out the match and the storyline with a lot of no-nonsense booking.

You know, the kind of simplicity that builds fans up and makes them want to come back for more, and makes them know that theyve seen something important play out.

Thus, watching it play out with the hard hitting, the pairing off and the relative lack of bloodletting, despite the inclusion of JC Koszewski in some spots, and with enough high spots to make sense, it plays out nicely. Well, more than just nicely.

Team Big League is John McChesney and J-Rocc, Shane Tayor and Bill Collier. One guy (McChesney) who looked like John Morrison before that M became involved with the WWE. One guy whos a more than solid second fiddle wherever he shows up (J-Rocc) and a couple of good looking backup muscle.

Team Firestorm is Aftermath, Patrick Hayes and high-flyer Starless, plus the difference maker in Raymond Rowe.

Rowe has one of the most impressive gimmicks on the indy scene, this sense of a white gangster with an entourage, but in the ring, hes the second coming of Tazz, albeit taller and meaner looking. Earlier when the stand-off took place, the visuals of heels on one side, faces on the other, and then Rowes crew coming in to overwhelm things for the promotions side.

But again, its the dynamics and the playing out of the match itself that make this work. Not that the match itself is anything to overlook. Its just that Im not the kind of reviewer that ruins the match by spelling out the spoilers.

If you want to see an indy promotion doing pro wrestling at levels the big show seems to ignore, buy this DVD and get the T-shirt free!

Firestorm Pro is now established as a promotion to watch. With soon to be determined tag champs, with a top indy guy in Rowe to headline, and with multiple storylines coming out of the War Games DVD, theres a sense of direction.

Matches already Signed:

=========================================

Undisputed Firestorm Pro Heavyweight Championship

RAYMOND ROWE ( c ) vs SHANE TAYLOR

=========================================

SHANE TAYLOR is a dangerous competitor who stands 6 feet and weighs a staggering 350 pounds. He has an All-American amateur wrestling pedigree and is incredibly agile and quick for his immense size. Ever since he joined up with Team Big League SHANE TAYLOR has made it his mission to keep RAYMOND ROWE as far away from the Undisputed Championship as he possibly could. Twice he directly caused ROWE to be denied a title victory. During the climax of the WAR GAMES steel cage match, ROWE countered TAYLOR’s feared lariat and sent him headfirst through a table and scored the pinfall over TAYLOR to claim the Championship. The fact that he was the man pinned to cause Team Big League to lose their chance to take control of Firestorm Pro has been eating at TAYLOR since WAR GAMES. He is going to be a veritable ball of rage when the bell rings on Friday night October 2nd and “A Call For Blood.” ROWE is used to having the upper hand when it comes to strength in the ring, but when he steps in the ring against TAYLOR he will be in the unfamiliar position of being at a strength disadvantage. This match up could be the rare occasion when a reigning champion walks into a match up as an underdog. ROWE stands 6 feet 1 inches and weighs in at 257 pounds. He also has a strong amateur wrestling background and has supplemented that by studying Muay Thai and NHB fighing. He is very proud to have finally become the Undisputed Champion and regardless of any advantages TAYLOR might hold do not expect him to back down or give it up without a fight. Despite both men’s amateur wrestling backgrounds, do not anticipate a technical mat-based, hold for hold match up. This match is promises to be explosive from bell to bell. All bets are off when these two heavy hitters locks horns. Both men posses the offensive firepower to end a match at any time, and neither of them will hesitate throwing everything they have at their opponent. Make sure you are in attendance to see the fireworks live at the Phantasy Theater on October 2nd!!!

=========================================

JIMMY “Superfly” SNUKA / THE AFTERMATH vs J-ROCC / BILL COLLIER

=========================================

If this match were as simple to predict as comparing resumes this match would be a no contest. SNUKA was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 1996. He was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award by the WWE in 2002, and has won enough national championships to literally double his weight in the gold that he has held. However, matches are not won on paper, and when SNUKA teams up with THE AFTERMATH on October 2nd he they are taking on two dangerous individuals in the devious J-ROCC and the powerhouse COLLIER who will be salivating at the thought of making their names on taking out the superstar SNUKA. The other very interesting aspect of this match up is the personal conflict between THE AFTERMATH and J-ROCC. An already heated rivalry hit a fever pitch when J-ROCC’s valet abandoned him in favor of the man she had fallen in love with THE AFTERMATH!! Usually, it is nearly impossible to keep J-ROCC quiet about any issue, but leading up to one of the biggest matches of his career against a hated rival and a ring legend, the outspoken grappler has been uncharacteristicly silent. Is he intimidated by challenge before him? Or is his silence a harbinger of bad things in store for his opponents on October 2nd? At “A Call For Blood” four men will enter the ring and only two will leave victorious, be there to find out who has the last word!!

=========================================

Number One Contendership Match

“Big League” JOHN McCHESNEY vs PATRICK HAYES

=========================================

Since Team Firestorm secured his control of the company, Firestorm Pro Owner JC has wasted no time in asserting his authority over the man who has spent two years doing his level best to ruin JC’s life. Last show JC made it very clear that if JOHN McCHESNEY wants a shot at the Undisputed Championship he is going to have to earn it. And if he loses in the process, he will not be granted another title shot for a full calendar year. Standing directly in his path back to the gold is the man who came within a hairs breadth of winning the gold at “Something To Die For 2009” PATRICK HAYES. These two men are not strangers, they have met on several occasions so both competitors will need to dig deep in order to surprise the other and gain an advantage. With a chance for glory on the line, who will dig deeper and find a way to walk out victorious? Will HAYES be celebrating his win at the end of the night? Or will “Big League” again set up a show down for the Undisputed Championship?

=========================================

First Time Ever Match-Up

LOU MARCONI vs M-DOGG 20

=========================================

We here at Firestorm Pro are extremely proud to be host to the first ever meeting inside a ring of two of the most recognizeable wrestling names ever to come out of Cleveland. MARCONI forever left his mark on the Cleveland wrestling scene with his work during the 90s and the early part of this decade. He recently stepped back into the ring to bring back respect to the sport of professional wrestling, even if that meant he had to bruise the egos and bodies of the younger generation of wrestlers in the process. M-DOGG 20 has spent the better part of the last decade continually raising the bar for athletic and acrobatic matches not only all over the North American continent but across Europe and Japan as well. Every time that he steps foot in the squared cicrle it seems that he re-writes the laws of physics and defies the laws of gravity with his spectacular moveset. It is a rare occasion to catch him in between international tours, and the fans of Firestorm Pro are truly going to be witnesss to a match for the ages on October 2nd. It's old school vs new school in its purest sense. Who will prevail when the wily mat veteran crosses swords with the "Innovator of Aerial Insanity"??

=========================================

NICKY VALENTINO vs SHIIMA XION

=========================================

The international sensation SHIIMA XION returns to action inside a Firestorm Pro ring when he enters across from Firestorm Pro Training Academy’s first graduate NICKY VALENTINO. Last month, at “Something To Die For 2009,” VALENTINO picked up his first victory when he defeated STARLESS. He has asked management to continue to match him up with tough competition, and they have delivered! SHIIMA has multiple tours of Japan and Mexico on his resume and he will bring all of his international experience to bear against the young up and comer VALENTINO’s intensity.

=========================================

NEW Firestorm Pro Tag Team Champions CLUB DB will be IN ACTION

=========================================

Despite their questionable tactics no one can argue with their recent success. CLUB DB sits atop a growing pool of tag teams in the ranks of Firestorm and won’t be able to rest on past accomplishments if they want to continue to wear the Tag Team Titles. With the recent addition of BROSA to the CLUB, JUSTIN and CJ are looking to firmly establish their dominance over Firestorm Pro’s tag team division.

Also Appearing: THE CUT THROAT CREW, VICKY, “Big League” STEPHANIE, SAMANTHA ANNE, KENNY HENDRIX, ANGELDUST, MATHEW JUSTICE, JEDIDIAH McCOY, and more TBA!!!
