Talent
= Future
by Rob Rota
In
the early part of 2002, Johnny Glitter appeared ready to make a
run as the top independent promotion in the NEPA area. With the
fall of fan favorite VCW and WXW starting to fall off in attendance
it appeared Glitter had picked his perfect time to come back.. and
this time, it appeared, he had chosen to bring in young studs to
help him rise above all others. Local favorites the HardCore Mafia
joined on for the ride as a strong up and coming tag team with the
drive and determination to make it. Another local boy is the MASSIVE
Night Prowler. Look for this man to make a nice BIG impact in WSW.
Glitter also brought in the likes of Kage and GQ Blaze the Degenerates
of Society and also IB Green from NY to help build up his young
roster. Glitter gave the HCM and DOS 2 chances to go out there and
blow away crowds in McAdoo and Moosic and that they did. Both teams
cemented their spots in WSW with those 2 matches. Glitter also formed
an alliance with AAWF in Harrisburg and the 2 feds began trading
talent and recently the HCM, Kage, Prowler and IB Green debuting
on AAWFs June 22nd show. Glitter shortly then revealed his plans
for TOTAL domination of NEPA as he opened up training centers in
Moosic and Harrisburg. Local boys from both areas have joined on
to help the cause as well.. especially in Moosic where YET another
local boy has signed on and that man is Drew "Matt Turner"
Rugh. I have heard he came in with the recommendation of the boys
in the Mafia. Spotted recently at the training center was CZWs own,
Chris Stylz. What exactly was Chris doing in Moosic? I'm not really
sure just yet, but I'm sure Glitter would love to have a worker
like Stylz on the WSW roster. Look for alot of up and comers to
spring up and help in Glitters cause.
Now, the real
kicker in what appears to be a master plan was the signing of Shawn
Sheridan and Rosh Koch. Firstly, Shooter Shawn Sheridan; Trained
by Gino Caruso in ECPW in New Jersey. Shawn ended up being a mainstay
in WXW for several months.. years even. Rosh Koch, is from Millville
PA and actually trained at WXW for well over a year. Unfortunately,
both were involved in a very talked about break-up from WXW because
of political reasons. I have heard different stories about what
happened, but that is neither here nor there. All I know is that
Rosh is currently polishing up his skills under Johnny Glitter in
the Moosic Training Center and on July 11th Shawn Sheridan will
make his WSW debut at a Benefit for Camp Dost. A Camp for children
with Cancer.
Speaking of
Camp Dost, it appears that show is right around the corner and from
what I'm hearing its jam packed with action, workers and oh yeah
workrate. Workers along the line of Former JAP Triple Crown Champion
Dixie, Billy Reil, Shooter Shawn Sheridan, JT Jobber, Dave Greco,
NewWave, the HardCore Mafia, IB Green, a debuting ROSH, YKushi,
Prowler, Kage and others. Now, THAT is an impressive list of current
indy stars and a nice list of up and comers. Now, to someone who
has followed wrestling for such a long time it would seem that this
show COULD BE the breakout show for Glitters WSW. The names on this
list have had people talking for some time now, and if the up and
comers like the Mafia and Green can make a good showing THEY could
be the NEXT BIG THING! This show will be a true test for WSW and
its veteran promoter.
It is now up
to Glitter to show an area basically devoid of wrestling what true
independent wrestling is all about. Get ready people, be prepared..
for a revolution is about to being.. a World Star Wrestling Revolution.
