A Column written for Net Pro Wrestling

Column 1:

I don’t do introductions, a man who’s held world titles in every federation he’s ever stepped into doesn’t have to introduce himself. If you know who I am then you know what I’m all about. If you don’t know me don’t worry, you will…

As some may remember the last time I was on national television was when I defended my Internet Wrestling Association World Championship at Slamfest 2k1, a pay per view held by the iWa, a federation that once boasted Devlin Jackson, Blade, and your world champion Simon Starr as well as others.

That was May 4th, and since then I’ve been out of sight. Well on that night a poorly executed suplex dropped me directly on my elbow. After the match I found out the impact had ripped every ligament in my right elbow. A sloppy move by a sloppy wrestler in a failing federation. What can I say? Judge me by the company I kept, not the company I was in.

So after my surgery I was sitting down in my house in Miami when I get a call from Jeremy McGuiness pleading with me to get involved in the NPW. Not much of a surprise considering the fact that I’m the ratings spike, the prince of pay per view and the best pure wrestler in the business. Let’s just say that if I wasn’t me, I’d sure want to be me. Which brings us to this column. So from here on out I’ll be giving my view on everything happening here with one basic rule:

Whatever I say goes, because quite frankly at 100% there isn’t a man in this sport, let alone this company, that can match me.

And with all that said and the ground rules down proper let me officially say, welcome to The Spotlight…the official home of Scott “The Sensation” Matthews.

And if we’re going to talk NPW we might as well start at the top, Jeremy McGuiness. Namely the staff he’s appointed and the resultant situation he’s in. McGuiness currently sits in a very precarious situation. See the way I see it is that he’s at the top of the mountain, but the mountain’s a damn volcano.

Everybody knows McGuiness owns the NPW. And everyone knows that ratings are up, reviews of the first two pay per views are good, and his roster is decently talented. (I mean none of them are any Scott Matthews, but then again nobody is.) Problem is that every move he’s made has the potential to come back and bite him on his ass.

Take for instance his choice to make Simon Starr, a pompous egomaniac if there ever was one, his president. Short-term it’s a great move. It gets people talking and creates controversy, which equals ratings. (Trust me I created the formula) Problem is that Simon Starr’s a snake who cares as much about his own personal resume as he does about any federation.

Solution? Make good ‘ole dependable Hex the VP. Checks and Balances and all that. Only apparently Hex’s spine is as weak as his wrestling skill. He opts for the easy way out and now McGuiness has another problem on his hands.

And if that’s not enough McGuiness goes out and challenges a rival promotion, wFw. A promotion that promptly takes two of his wrestlers. How important are the Primetime Players? Not very, trust me I’ve seen them work. But the precedent is there, and that’s all that matters.

So here McGuiness sits…on top of the world. But all that means is that he’s got even farther to fall. And the only things holding him up is the newly formed Powers of Execution:XG. McGuiness for your sake I hope you picked the right crutch. Reforming POE gave this company’s owner one hell of an army. But it also put an even bigger target on his back.

So McGuiness for your sake you better hope that Killer, Blade, Welch, and the ManBeast are up for the job. Cause otherwise you’re in for a hard fall, with an even more brutal landing…
