Well 2007 is now all but over, no more TNT's in the year and the only Tuesday left is the big birthday we tend to celebrate on. And I have to say it’s been a pretty fun year. We've done a lot for a federation and in almost every way, we've been a very bold group, doing things without any fear and having fun along the way. But I'm blabbing really, so here we go with the Awards, with a little summary by me later.
WPW Face of the Year:
The One
Scorch
The Jokester
Gerard Carson
Champion JMC
Jokester- 8
The One-5
Champion JMC-4
Scorch-3
Carson-1
The Jokester takes this award away which is not too surprising when you look at the Jokester, but he was up against Stiff Competition. but no one has ever had a Thread in the main section devoted to the discussion of a wrestler's best set of RPs! The Jokester started the year off as part of Team PCW, before he defected when PCW died. From there he was reunited with The Dream, a legendary competition called The Dream Team which not even an on-fire Dust and JMC could keep down! But Dream eventually left for higher pastures (Literally) and the Jokester was all alone, eventually and comically looking for a replacement to the Dream. He came across a lot of names, some of them big, some of them Unit, some of them just trying to make an impression. Eventually he discovered Tank and together, after many losses and a few amazing wins, became the team known as Tokester (Which has been nominated for Best Tag Team). However after failing to claim the Tag Titles, Tokester Split, due in no small part to the jealous Johnny Bad Blood. Now this is where Jokester came unto his own, announcing that he will be running for President of the United states of America as John Oliver Kenneth Edward Ster. This has possibly been the funniest thing in WPW ever, leading to great hilarity and insult to Jokesters opponents. He made it to the Semi-Finals in the ToC but now has his mind solely focused on the Elections.
Second and Third Places were taken by Two WPW Champions, The One and JMC Respectively who both governed their run as Face champs.
WPW Heel of the Year:
JMC
The Judge
Jamie Parker
Brock Goodman
2
The Judge-10
JMC-5
Jamie Parker-3
2-2
Goodman-1
The Judge starts the year of 2008 the same way he did in 2007, as Tag Team champion. Originally coming to WPW as the Shadow, the Judge never revealed who he was until The Month before Redemption, taking it to his partner, SiNN, whom he has since endured a deadly feud. At Redemption a series of odd events occurred. The Judge was seen helping Dust defeat The not-as-yet champion Scorch. This was explained when the Royalty debuted at the end of Redemption where The Judge, the Most Established heel, joined with The Stallion, Dust and ex-champion JMC as Royalty, Judge teamed with Dust for a while and then eventually JMC, finished his feud with SiNN and then moving on to take his partner to his second Ever WPW Tag Team Title! Judge & JMC have held the title against Desmond Troy and David Nicolls twice, while still being involved in the Tournament of Champions where he has made it to the Finals! Could the Judge start WPW's 2008 season as both Tag Team AND World Heavyweight Champion?
His Partner JMC comes in second with only half the Votes Judge received. JMC only spent half a year as a heel. Parker hits Third best in a great line-up, even though his recent moves have been attempting to turn him face!
WPW Wrestler of the Year:
Scorch
JMC
The Jokester
Jamie Parker
Brock Goodman
JMC-6
Scorch-5
Brock Goodman-4
The Jokester-3
Jamie Parker-3
A Tough race for Wrestler of the year with JMC coming out on top. Cassius started the year off as WPW Champion, defeating the PCW Champion The Dream before taking it to Other new PCW Survivors. Mike Adams and Dan Murph even got close to taking Cassius's title from him. But the Honour eventually fell to The One as the two finally participated in their Dream Match at Redemption. It was in this Match, and after months of secret planning, that The Royalty was formed and JMC, usually nothing less than the Champion that we all loved, turned heel. JMC set about trying to keep Royalty Dominant, but to no avail due to interference by his permanent Rivals, The One and Scorch. After losing his Rematch to The One as well as his Team Mate Dust, JMC readjusted his priorities and Became the Tag team Partner of The Judge, his Royal Ally. The two, Along with much help from The Royal Knight then Succeeded in Gaining the WPW Tag Team belts from Jamie Parker and Jason Bennett. Now as Tag team Champion, Cassius and the Judge entered into a feud with Newcomers Desmond Troy and David Nicolls along with the Tournament of Champions. With their Feud still not Completely Resolved and The fact that both he AND his partner are in the ToC Final, and one may walk out both as WPW Champ And having defeating the other, The 2008 of WPW's Best 2007 Wrestler may be a jumpy journey!
Second Place was won by Current WPW Champ, Scorch. Scorch was the Founding Member of The Resistance and to date is the only member still involved in the rebel group. He also, for the first time in his Career, collected a World Title, to much Fanfare. Brock Goodman Takes the Bronze, his much publicised and pushed story over Whyndham, even though not as fresh in some peoples minds still earnt him many votes.
WPW Rising Star:
Sky Ryder
Forsaken
Darien Entreri
Desmond Troy
David Nicolls
David Nicolls-13
Forsaken-4
Darien Entreri-2
Desmond Troy-2
Sky Ryder-0
David Nicolls is both our most recent star and our best of 2007, it seems! Nicolls first match was against Fellow Newcomer, Desmond Troy. The Two then went on to Challenge 2 in a Multi-Man event for the Hardcore Title, for Which 2 emerged victorious. David However did not sulk but made tracks for what could have been the toughest division in WPW at the time, the tag team Division, finding an Ally in Desmond Troy a man he beat in his first match in WPW, they successfully Defeated the young but experienced group known as The Fallen. Through this action They got their chances at the Tag Team champions, The Royalty. JMC and Judge were ready and the feud began, Two Matches for the titles fell Royalty's way but David had looked impressive throughout, even getting Two pinfalls over JMC. David also made it to the Quarter Finals of the ToC, facing off once again against JMC and sadly not making it. However David has never been one to give up, a quality that shows every time we see him, as he and Desmond Fight to get one more shot Against Royalty for their own chance at greatness!
Second Place was Forsaken, eternally on Live but never giving up. Third Place is a draw Between Nicolls Partner, Desmond Troy and Darien Entreri.
WPW Most Improved:
Royal Knight
Martin Cameron
Jesse Long
Justin Dreamer
Gunnar Brian
Royal Knight-8
Martin Cameron-4
Gunnar Brian-4
Jesse Long-2
Justin Dreamer-2
The Royal Knight was a concept not heard of earlier in 2007! Back then, the man went by the Name of The Stallion, a daredevil, crowd pleasing young Stud who wooed his audience as much as he wooed his opponents. The First thing that happened to him in 2007 was when he won the PCW Hardcore Title from Johnny bad Blood, the PCW Champion, at When Worlds Collide, essentially starting the Hardcore Tradition in WPW. From there he held the belt with Gusto and entering into a feud with Justin Dreamer, who won the title off him, but Stallion Claiming it back fast enough. From there here entered his Girlfriend, the one we know as SSG. With SSG, Stallion entered a feud with Twizted and his girlfriend, culminating in a match at Redemption. However on the way There Stallion started to verbalise and try to pick a fight with JMC, the WPW champion. JMC attempted to ignore the young arrogant Star, and rid himself of him by placing him in a match against The One, which he won to everyone's surprise! RK then went on to Redemption and Twizted, a match he won. but Redemption was a huge night for The Stallion as First he was Betrayed by His Girlfriend who stole his Hardcore Title from him after his match with Twizted. Then, almost as if burning his old Persona, He Turned heel and joined The Royalty of JMC, Dust and The Judge! Thus The stallion was Never Heard from again and The Royal Knight was born! Royal Knight immediately ignored his girlfriend, now having his new stable to befriend him. He set about becoming Florida Champion, which saw him lock Horns with Jamie Parker. Who he lost many a battle, but eventually claimed the title for himself! Realising his dream if only for a week! Now knowing what it feels like, RK is more determined and may win this award again next year! RK has been the executioner of the Royalty, the man to drive the final nail into many of their enemies, including Dust and the WPW Owner, Carlos Gonzales!
Second was a draw Between Martin Cameron and Gunnar Brian, Brian on his purge to Save WPW from the disturbing underbelly of stars and Cameron, who continually strives to find himself in every battle, both internal and in the Ring.
WPW Champ of the Year:
JMC
The One
Scorch
JMC-15
The One-5
Scorch-1
JMC opened the Year as The champion, still as WPW's only Champ that they had ever known. his First feud Came against the Legendary Dream Team, with The Jokester the man who had caused a severe neck injury and whom had pinned JMC in the WWC Main Event! And The Dream, PCW champion who had defected and taken the Title with him. This feud eventually led to A match at Ruined Fate where the PCW and WPW Title Would be merged. However JMC became the winner of the match via Disqualifications and The dream used the "Square in the Nuts" in sight of the Referee. Thus the WPW title remained JMC's and the PCW title belonged to the Dream, not yet having our unification. Immediately after this match, JMC was Attacked by Dan Murph who wanted to win the title without opposition, JMC was thrown from the stage and his neck injury returned more serious than before. Thus for the first time in his career, JMC was Sidelined! However JMC returned to fight Murph and get some well deserved revenge, culminating in WPW's first Casket Match which JMC became the winner of. Then JMC met his match. The PCW title had swapped hands and The One had made history by winning it! The Two set off on their eventual feud, which involved being team mates in WPW's first ever Tag team steel Cage Match. Then the big Day came and Redemption approached, and The Dream Match of WPW occurred. And the One won, taking JMC's title and ending the reign of WPW's first champion.
The One took the title and enjoyed a Vicious Winning Streak, taking out JMC once more in a steel Cage Match, the very one they had been partners in at one stage. However his next title match at ReActivation was against Scorch, his ally. Where he dropped the title and left WPW.
Scorch is our Current Champion and gets third place out of Three. The Man who will fight the ToC champion also has a string of title defences due to his open challenge. Gunnar Brian, Martin Cameron and Mike Corral included, as well as leading The Resistance.
Florida State Champ of the Year:
Mykal Adams
Gerard Carson
Dan Murph
Jamie Parker
Brock Goodman
Jamie Parker-11
Gerard Carson-6
Brock Goodman-2
Mykal Adams-1
Dan Murph-1
Jamie Parker won the Florida state Title in a 20 man match that was a sight to behold. With many contestants in the ring and with the fact that the Current champ Dan Murph was eliminated so early, it seemed fate for someone. But who would have imagined that the WPW Tag Team champion would be the man to win it? Thus Parker created Tag Team History as the first man to hold both a Singles and a Doubles title at the same time and even the first Tag Team champion to hold another title at any point in his career after winning the title. But Parker's parade, as good as it was, got rained upon by none other than Royalty who wanted all three titles for their three members! At ReActivation, Parker made history yet again, being the first man to appear in two matches! First he defended his Florida Title against The Royal Knight and Jesse Long, which he succeeded in keeping, but then his match immediately afterwards saw the end of his Tag title reign, a whopping six months after winning the belts! Parker then became a singles competitor and joined The Resistance, still keeping his feud with The Royal Knight. Eventually Parker let his guard slip and the Royal Knight, ever the opportunist, jumped, taking Parker's title from him! but Parker rallied and soon enough won it back, making him the second person to be a two-time FLA Champ! And then, once again Parker made a breakthrough, the first Florida champ to willingly give away his Title.
Second Place is Gerard Carson, a superstar not fresh in our memory but still impressive enough to gain second Place. Carson goes down in history as WPW's first Dual Champion, holding both the Florida Title and the God Of Live, brought from PCW. Third is Brock Goodman, our Current Champion who impressed everyone in his victory in the 20 man TLC match at Hallowicked.
Tag Team of the Year:
J&J (Jamie Parker & Jason Bennett)
The Royalty (JMC & The Judge)
Tokester (Tank & The Jokester)
The Lady-Killers (Mykal Adams & Brock Goodman)
Team of Excellence (David Nicolls & Desmond Troy)
The Royalty-8
J&J-7
Team of Excellence-3
Tokester-2
LadyKillers-1
In a Confusing way, The Royalty may be remembered as the team that are the best because they beat the best team! The alliance between JMC and The Judge started at Redemption where He allied himself with the Judge, who brought The Royal Knight while JMC brought his current Tag Team Partner, Dust. Thus The Royal Plan was thus, JMC was to be WPW champion, The Royal Knight was Florida Champ and Dust & The Judge to be Tag Team champions. But with the Dissention of Dust from the Royal Ranks, a problem ensued.. What would happen to the Tag Ambitions. this was rectified as JMC seemed incapable of getting even close to the WPW title. Thus JMC and the Judge decided it would be they who became tag champions for The Royalty, and with much help from The Royal Knight, they completed their goal, defeating Jason Bennett and Jamie Parker at ReActivation, right after Parker had defeated The Royal Knight. Thus WPW's First World Champ teamed with WPW's First Tag Champion, and on paper this seemed indestructible! They have since defeated all challengers to their titles while still competing in the Tournament of Champions and are both in the ToC final at The PPV! Can their team survive the desire for the World Title?
A Close second was J&J, whom started as more a formality as Bennett won the right to the second half of the tag Team titles and thus was forced to be with Parker. Possibly the best thing he was ever forced to do! Third Place is the new and hungry Team of Excellence, that his been a thorn in Royalty's side and loving every second of it!

The One Vs. JMC-5
Mike Adams Vs. The One Vs. Dust Vs. Scorch vs. Jeremiah Ranks vs. Andrew Xavier-1
The One Vs. Scorch-0
The Judge Vs. The One is a hell of a story, even though it only took place over... maybe three weeks at the most. The One's Return to WPW was a big event, overshadowed only by his leaving once again a week later due to a series of events not important to the storyline. Thus The One was to leave Permanently WPW with no fanfare and no ceremony. But The Judge stepped in and issued a challenge that he could not resist, a match he had never had. Thus The One, a main Eventer, a great of WPW took on The Judge... And The Judge Won. In an amazing series of RPs that beat even the power of many World Title Matches, The Judge emerged as the winner and The One was given a last send-off from WPW
Feud of the Year:
The Sophie Saga
Royalty Vs. Resistance
J&J Vs. Lady-Killers
JMC Vs. One
Scorch vs. Dust
JMC Vs. One-11
Royalty Vs. Resistance-5
J&J Vs. LadyKillers-3
The Sophie Saga-2
Scorch vs. Dust-0
JMC and The One was considered the Feud to watch out for when we ended 2006. and in 2007, their paths, which we knew were going to eventually cross, did such! WPW's two biggest faces would fight at Redemption, the biggest PPV, to combine both World titles into one. Their paths had first Crossed at WWC where JMC and The One were the last two members of Team WPW, who were at one point three-to-two down. After Everything Ends, both were left as World champions, but they still had feuds to do! For their first Match as both PCW and WPW champions, Cassius and The One teamed up against Mike Adams and Dan Murph in WPW's first Ever Steel Cage Tag team Match, which they barely ended up victorious in. As their feud continued, it looked as if Cassius was sabotaging The One while still smiling in his Face. But it was all his sister who treated The One with Disgust and Contempt., Even going so far as to place a forklift in front of his Door to stop him being partners with JMC. The Feud got Uglier as the two egos collided again and again, in Pick-Your-Poison and Champs Vs. Challengers Matches. Until Redemption, where it finally happened. James Moriarty Cassius Vs. The One. The Results seemed tog o on Forever, Sophie Cassius interfering, Carlos Gonzales trying to make his voice heard.. Even the Forklift Driver tried to get a piece of the action. But it culminated in one fact. The One defeated JMC and Became WPW Champion and PCW champion, destroying the only thing left that was PCW. But JMC did some destroying of his own, As soon as The One Had won, JMC led a new band of villains, Calling themselves the Royalty, down on The One. Just Like JMC started his reign as WPW champion by winning and then being beaten to a pulp, so Did The One. Thus Royalty and the One Clashed Again, The One having Allies in Scorch and SiNN. And the Two would clash again and again, leading their groups until they met once again at Payback, inside a steel Cage. The same cage that they had been partners in months before. It was there that, with their armies clashing outside, that The One once again Emerged victorious... Their feud ended as Carlos began to set other members of the Resistance against One another, Leaving Cassius to wait for the chance to strike at the One, but it never came. The One soon left WPW, leaving a great Feud still in our memories, over at the height of it's excitement.
In Second Place was Royalty Vs. Resistance, sometimes considered an overdone feud, but involving a grand total of Ten Superstars in its entirety. And Third Place Was J&J Vs. Lady-Killers, a feud that started off with the champs losing, but retaining and sparked from there!

Writer of the Year:

Chazz
Duff
The Judge-6
Neo-5
Legendaryken-5
Prometheus-3
Chazz-2
The Judge, when he can put the effort in, shines like a sun. He started off the year writing the Main event of WWC, a huge feat to read, let alone plan out and write. Judge has reserved himself for Special occasions mostly, which you can get away with when you're the boss, appearing usually if not exclusively at Pay Per View time. His other Crowning Achievement this year, still fresh in our memory banks would be the 20 man TLC match for the Absent Florida Title, great action, balanced out by Environmental-saving Al Gore and enough over-the-top spots to make Paul London Dizzy.
Second Prize goes to two men who can put in the yards week in and week out. Neo has filled in spectacularly for Chazz when he left the spot and is now exclusively our Main Event Writer, a glorious spot to win! Ken is a man who does not back away from a multiple man writing challenge, making the good look good and the absent look like Bee Fodder. WPW has a great set of writers, if I say so myself (Having worked on other feds before), and even if you're not on the list here, never put in a bad effort because your good is brilliant to read!
Biggest Turmoil of the Year:
The Dream defects, PCW Dies
Forsaken defeats The One
Royalty is Created
The One Leaves
The Dream defects, PCW dies-8
Royalty is Created-7
Forsaken Defeats The One-3
The One Leaves-3
The Dream was arguably the greatest thing to exit PCW, the lead babyface for its entire existence and having to always put up with the likes of The Judge and Ken playing storylines Man-In-Black Pranks on him and furthering him along. At WWC, The Dream was Finally PCW champion, having won the ToC 2 contest earlier. The Dream defects is a story that starts back when WPW was only a few months old, run by The Judge and PCW was run by a certain Prometheus and Mike Adams. Mike had a great idea to hold a joint PPV, and Promy had the idea that PCW was dead-as-hell and accepted it anywho. The Dream, unbeknownst to all except The Judge, wanted this to happen so he could jump to WPW.. and who could blame him? So with Judge, he did exactly that. He Left PCW at the WWC Main Event. Sadly, at the same time PCW died. Due to the fact that it was starting to go belly up as it was about to lose one of its owners, and WWC seemed a good storylined way to go out. Not originally booked as a winner-takes-all story, it was meant to be a cross-promotional series of exhibition matches, but that soon changed as it essentially was now a lifeboat to swing enough of PCW to the greener pastures of WPW. What surprised Prometheus, who knew that PCW was the dead, was how passionate the few remaining PCW guys were about their Company. Gunnar Brian, Xavier, Carson, they all felt like it was a good fight and talked about taking them WPW sumbitches down. It was kinda touching in a way. But nevertheless, PCW ran aground and was put to rest in WWC, the biggest turmoil of 2007!
Second was the formation of Royalty. James Moriarty Cassius and his tweener friend Dust, who called themselves "WPW Royalty" during The PCW invasion met up with uber-heel, The Judge and rising star, The stallion to Make The Royalty. Let debate run wild as to whether this was Good or Bad Turmoil.

“Don’t Forget the Rules” begins to play through the arena and the crowd is immediately up on their feet. Eventually the music Dies and the crowd stops making noise. A new song Starts up, "Kashmir" By Bond, a remake of the old Led Zeppelin Song plays and images of JMC begin to appear. The sound of so many people yelling their disapproval is deafening. With no real fear out comes James Moriarty Cassius, for the first time in nine months, without the WPW World Title with him. He appears at the entrance way with a huge grin on his face and a microphone already in his hand, unabashed by the crowd’s violent reaction. Cassius starts to walk down to the ring, this time not slapping hands with the crowd like he did but ignoring them. He dodges several pieces of rubbish thrown at him by a couple of fans which unnerves him slightly.
Daniel: Well here he is, our first ever Former WPW Champion. And Doesn’t he look pleased with himself!
Max: The Fans really have no problem giving him hell. After all those months he was their champ. How could they?
Daniel: He destroyed The One after he won the title. Mercilessly.
Max: but they still turned on Him.
Daniel: You’re an idiot. Were you even watching properly at redemption?
Max: ... I got confused around the time when Dust came out. I refuse to acknowledge the other things until someone explains them better.
Daniel: Well you might be in luck now because here comes the press conference!
Cassius has slipped into the ring, He rolls under and away from the crowd and their disapproving rubbish. He signals and raises the microphone to his own lips. He begins to speak but the noise does not die down for him. Cassius takes it down as the crowd cheers for their slight win. Cassius raises it up again and finally speaks
JMC: “What’s he then that says I play the villain?”
Max: The villain?
Daniel: I’m guessing it’s Shakespeare.
JMC: Now, truly is the winter of your own discontent. No Glorious fields and no sons of York. There is just me The villain. Me and my Kind of course. I hear your arguments, you boos, I have felt the sting of fans throwing bottles and rubbish at my direction. But let me ask you all something simple. How am I the villain? What have I done to deserve this? Why do you torment me with hate? My heart breaks to have the fans that loved me turn on me so. It pains every day that you turn from.... Oh I am so sorry, I simply cannot keep the act up any longer.
Cassius Looks up at the crowd and smirks at them, they again begin to harass him. But Cassius seems to love it!
Max: It’s been an act Daniel! JMC wasn’t really feeling sorry!
Daniel: Shut up and listen!
JMC: Oh, but how fun it was to act and perform. To fool you all into believing that I was an honourable champion. How you all thought I loved you! How you all swore my innocence when tragedy befalls The One! And the sweetest performance of all, the best part I performed was convincing The One that we were friends! And it was all believed, swallowed up by everyone involved. Now you know why I was an actor. Now you know why I love to perform so much! I have the gift of deceit and I use it so well! If only for the sake of personal pleasure, in seeing someone fall. In seeing every fan be tricked. Welcome to then end of the Lies of James Cassius, I lie no more. But I will still be your enemy. And in honesty, I do not care any longer.
The Time of Cassius as Champion has died. I know this and I admit it does anger me to no longer be something that I once was. The One will pay, but for now he is most likely asleep in a hospital bed still attempting to fit square objects through round holes or trying to remember the fourth grade. But this night is not about the WPW Champion. It is About Real champions. Real Friends. Tonight is about one thing.
Royalty!
It is about showing the past, showing the brilliance Royalty performed over the past month sine I stopped caring about you all. How we set traps, how we will eventually become the rulers of WPW once more. You will all eventually be Counting the Bodies we leave Like Sheep to the Rhythm of our War Drum. This is my promise. Welcome To A segment that may become a staple of WPW. A segment to leave The scorcher dead, to be more colourful than the White House. Welcome to The royal Court! And who better to be the first interviewers on The Royal Court than Three of the greatest men in WPW! Welcome, fans of WPW, to the Greatest of factions.
Welcome Dust!
Welcome The Judge!
And Welcome The Stallion!

The Dream-11
Gerard Carson-3
The One-3
Dust-2
Mykal Adams-2
It must be a considerable feather in you cap to appear in a Federation for only a month, the first month no less, and still become that Federations Most Missed! But that's exactly what Cornelius Q. Dream has done for us. Defection to WPW at the end of the WWC main Event willingly rather than forcefully after, he helped guaranteed the WPW win and thus was welcomed with open arms. Continuing his alliance with The Jokester as The Dream Team, he held the PCW title and the two immediately went on to Feud with the WPW champion, JMC and his Partner, Dust. At Ruined Fate, The Dream came remarkably close to defeating JMC but a wayward Square in the Nuts disqualified the PCW Star. After that, things went downhill, he didn't lose his PCW title but he eventually was kidnapped by the Nicaraguan Death Squad, yes you heard right. Since then no hide nor hair of The Dream has been seen. The Jokester has been missing him too, trying to recreate the magic with newcomer Tank. Might we ever see The Dream Again?
Second Place goes to Gerard Carson and The One, Carson Left us at Redemption after losing his Florida State Title To Nick Comoroto. Carson set a record as the only WPW Superstar to ALWAYS have a Title Around his waist in the company, holding the IOW Championship, The God of Live AND The Florida State Title, Recently he has finally signed away his contract, seemingly ending the Possibility to return to us here at WPW. The One's absence has also been duly noted by our voters, rocking in at second as well. He disappeared from WPW the day after his loss to Scorch at ReActivation, fired by Carlos Gonzales. His Return with the Army of One was sadly short lived as he handed in his resignation the week after, agreeing to one more match with The Judge.
Who To Watch in 2008:
2
Darian Entreri
Gunnar Brian
Jamie Parker
The Jokester
2-15
Darian Entreri-2
The Jokester-2
Gunnar Brian-1
Jamie Parker-1
2, our Hardcore champion, rockets into the lead in Who To Watch. Starting off his career in WPW as The One's Manager, he has certainly made his name into our company and cementing himself in our minds. His first real challenge was against The One on a Live Main Event where he lost. But he never made a habit of it since! 2 then went on to win the Hardcore Title from Twizted and defend it in the new rules where a challenger would arise every week! He defeated all of them, including WPW Champ, The One! Ironically in two weeks, 2 Reaches the 6 Months milestone as champion. Also this week, 2 tries to wrestle the secondary title, The Florida state championship, from the clutches of Brock Goodman, making him the first Hardcore and Florida Champion. With this promising event, 2 is destined to be a big hitter in 2008!
And, of course our last and comedic little segment we like to call.

Well, I guess this is officially the last WPW Event for 2007, I hope everyone enjoyed the experience of not just reading this spiel by me, but everything the staff did in 2007. And from what looks likely to happen in just the coming few weeks, 2008 is gonna be great!
WPW Face of the Year:
The One
Scorch
The Jokester
Gerard Carson
Champion JMC
Jokester- 8
The One-5
Champion JMC-4
Scorch-3
Carson-1
The Jokester takes this award away which is not too surprising when you look at the Jokester, but he was up against Stiff Competition. but no one has ever had a Thread in the main section devoted to the discussion of a wrestler's best set of RPs! The Jokester started the year off as part of Team PCW, before he defected when PCW died. From there he was reunited with The Dream, a legendary competition called The Dream Team which not even an on-fire Dust and JMC could keep down! But Dream eventually left for higher pastures (Literally) and the Jokester was all alone, eventually and comically looking for a replacement to the Dream. He came across a lot of names, some of them big, some of them Unit, some of them just trying to make an impression. Eventually he discovered Tank and together, after many losses and a few amazing wins, became the team known as Tokester (Which has been nominated for Best Tag Team). However after failing to claim the Tag Titles, Tokester Split, due in no small part to the jealous Johnny Bad Blood. Now this is where Jokester came unto his own, announcing that he will be running for President of the United states of America as John Oliver Kenneth Edward Ster. This has possibly been the funniest thing in WPW ever, leading to great hilarity and insult to Jokesters opponents. He made it to the Semi-Finals in the ToC but now has his mind solely focused on the Elections.
Second and Third Places were taken by Two WPW Champions, The One and JMC Respectively who both governed their run as Face champs.
WPW Heel of the Year:
JMC
The Judge
Jamie Parker
Brock Goodman
2
The Judge-10
JMC-5
Jamie Parker-3
2-2
Goodman-1
The Judge starts the year of 2008 the same way he did in 2007, as Tag Team champion. Originally coming to WPW as the Shadow, the Judge never revealed who he was until The Month before Redemption, taking it to his partner, SiNN, whom he has since endured a deadly feud. At Redemption a series of odd events occurred. The Judge was seen helping Dust defeat The not-as-yet champion Scorch. This was explained when the Royalty debuted at the end of Redemption where The Judge, the Most Established heel, joined with The Stallion, Dust and ex-champion JMC as Royalty, Judge teamed with Dust for a while and then eventually JMC, finished his feud with SiNN and then moving on to take his partner to his second Ever WPW Tag Team Title! Judge & JMC have held the title against Desmond Troy and David Nicolls twice, while still being involved in the Tournament of Champions where he has made it to the Finals! Could the Judge start WPW's 2008 season as both Tag Team AND World Heavyweight Champion?
His Partner JMC comes in second with only half the Votes Judge received. JMC only spent half a year as a heel. Parker hits Third best in a great line-up, even though his recent moves have been attempting to turn him face!
WPW Wrestler of the Year:
Scorch
JMC
The Jokester
Jamie Parker
Brock Goodman
JMC-6
Scorch-5
Brock Goodman-4
The Jokester-3
Jamie Parker-3
A Tough race for Wrestler of the year with JMC coming out on top. Cassius started the year off as WPW Champion, defeating the PCW Champion The Dream before taking it to Other new PCW Survivors. Mike Adams and Dan Murph even got close to taking Cassius's title from him. But the Honour eventually fell to The One as the two finally participated in their Dream Match at Redemption. It was in this Match, and after months of secret planning, that The Royalty was formed and JMC, usually nothing less than the Champion that we all loved, turned heel. JMC set about trying to keep Royalty Dominant, but to no avail due to interference by his permanent Rivals, The One and Scorch. After losing his Rematch to The One as well as his Team Mate Dust, JMC readjusted his priorities and Became the Tag team Partner of The Judge, his Royal Ally. The two, Along with much help from The Royal Knight then Succeeded in Gaining the WPW Tag Team belts from Jamie Parker and Jason Bennett. Now as Tag team Champion, Cassius and the Judge entered into a feud with Newcomers Desmond Troy and David Nicolls along with the Tournament of Champions. With their Feud still not Completely Resolved and The fact that both he AND his partner are in the ToC Final, and one may walk out both as WPW Champ And having defeating the other, The 2008 of WPW's Best 2007 Wrestler may be a jumpy journey!
Second Place was won by Current WPW Champ, Scorch. Scorch was the Founding Member of The Resistance and to date is the only member still involved in the rebel group. He also, for the first time in his Career, collected a World Title, to much Fanfare. Brock Goodman Takes the Bronze, his much publicised and pushed story over Whyndham, even though not as fresh in some peoples minds still earnt him many votes.
WPW Rising Star:
Sky Ryder
Forsaken
Darien Entreri
Desmond Troy
David Nicolls
David Nicolls-13
Forsaken-4
Darien Entreri-2
Desmond Troy-2
Sky Ryder-0
David Nicolls is both our most recent star and our best of 2007, it seems! Nicolls first match was against Fellow Newcomer, Desmond Troy. The Two then went on to Challenge 2 in a Multi-Man event for the Hardcore Title, for Which 2 emerged victorious. David However did not sulk but made tracks for what could have been the toughest division in WPW at the time, the tag team Division, finding an Ally in Desmond Troy a man he beat in his first match in WPW, they successfully Defeated the young but experienced group known as The Fallen. Through this action They got their chances at the Tag Team champions, The Royalty. JMC and Judge were ready and the feud began, Two Matches for the titles fell Royalty's way but David had looked impressive throughout, even getting Two pinfalls over JMC. David also made it to the Quarter Finals of the ToC, facing off once again against JMC and sadly not making it. However David has never been one to give up, a quality that shows every time we see him, as he and Desmond Fight to get one more shot Against Royalty for their own chance at greatness!
Second Place was Forsaken, eternally on Live but never giving up. Third Place is a draw Between Nicolls Partner, Desmond Troy and Darien Entreri.
WPW Most Improved:
Royal Knight
Martin Cameron
Jesse Long
Justin Dreamer
Gunnar Brian
Royal Knight-8
Martin Cameron-4
Gunnar Brian-4
Jesse Long-2
Justin Dreamer-2
The Royal Knight was a concept not heard of earlier in 2007! Back then, the man went by the Name of The Stallion, a daredevil, crowd pleasing young Stud who wooed his audience as much as he wooed his opponents. The First thing that happened to him in 2007 was when he won the PCW Hardcore Title from Johnny bad Blood, the PCW Champion, at When Worlds Collide, essentially starting the Hardcore Tradition in WPW. From there he held the belt with Gusto and entering into a feud with Justin Dreamer, who won the title off him, but Stallion Claiming it back fast enough. From there here entered his Girlfriend, the one we know as SSG. With SSG, Stallion entered a feud with Twizted and his girlfriend, culminating in a match at Redemption. However on the way There Stallion started to verbalise and try to pick a fight with JMC, the WPW champion. JMC attempted to ignore the young arrogant Star, and rid himself of him by placing him in a match against The One, which he won to everyone's surprise! RK then went on to Redemption and Twizted, a match he won. but Redemption was a huge night for The Stallion as First he was Betrayed by His Girlfriend who stole his Hardcore Title from him after his match with Twizted. Then, almost as if burning his old Persona, He Turned heel and joined The Royalty of JMC, Dust and The Judge! Thus The stallion was Never Heard from again and The Royal Knight was born! Royal Knight immediately ignored his girlfriend, now having his new stable to befriend him. He set about becoming Florida Champion, which saw him lock Horns with Jamie Parker. Who he lost many a battle, but eventually claimed the title for himself! Realising his dream if only for a week! Now knowing what it feels like, RK is more determined and may win this award again next year! RK has been the executioner of the Royalty, the man to drive the final nail into many of their enemies, including Dust and the WPW Owner, Carlos Gonzales!
Second was a draw Between Martin Cameron and Gunnar Brian, Brian on his purge to Save WPW from the disturbing underbelly of stars and Cameron, who continually strives to find himself in every battle, both internal and in the Ring.
WPW Champ of the Year:
JMC
The One
Scorch
JMC-15
The One-5
Scorch-1
JMC opened the Year as The champion, still as WPW's only Champ that they had ever known. his First feud Came against the Legendary Dream Team, with The Jokester the man who had caused a severe neck injury and whom had pinned JMC in the WWC Main Event! And The Dream, PCW champion who had defected and taken the Title with him. This feud eventually led to A match at Ruined Fate where the PCW and WPW Title Would be merged. However JMC became the winner of the match via Disqualifications and The dream used the "Square in the Nuts" in sight of the Referee. Thus the WPW title remained JMC's and the PCW title belonged to the Dream, not yet having our unification. Immediately after this match, JMC was Attacked by Dan Murph who wanted to win the title without opposition, JMC was thrown from the stage and his neck injury returned more serious than before. Thus for the first time in his career, JMC was Sidelined! However JMC returned to fight Murph and get some well deserved revenge, culminating in WPW's first Casket Match which JMC became the winner of. Then JMC met his match. The PCW title had swapped hands and The One had made history by winning it! The Two set off on their eventual feud, which involved being team mates in WPW's first ever Tag team steel Cage Match. Then the big Day came and Redemption approached, and The Dream Match of WPW occurred. And the One won, taking JMC's title and ending the reign of WPW's first champion.
The One took the title and enjoyed a Vicious Winning Streak, taking out JMC once more in a steel Cage Match, the very one they had been partners in at one stage. However his next title match at ReActivation was against Scorch, his ally. Where he dropped the title and left WPW.
Scorch is our Current Champion and gets third place out of Three. The Man who will fight the ToC champion also has a string of title defences due to his open challenge. Gunnar Brian, Martin Cameron and Mike Corral included, as well as leading The Resistance.
Florida State Champ of the Year:
Mykal Adams
Gerard Carson
Dan Murph
Jamie Parker
Brock Goodman
Jamie Parker-11
Gerard Carson-6
Brock Goodman-2
Mykal Adams-1
Dan Murph-1
Jamie Parker won the Florida state Title in a 20 man match that was a sight to behold. With many contestants in the ring and with the fact that the Current champ Dan Murph was eliminated so early, it seemed fate for someone. But who would have imagined that the WPW Tag Team champion would be the man to win it? Thus Parker created Tag Team History as the first man to hold both a Singles and a Doubles title at the same time and even the first Tag Team champion to hold another title at any point in his career after winning the title. But Parker's parade, as good as it was, got rained upon by none other than Royalty who wanted all three titles for their three members! At ReActivation, Parker made history yet again, being the first man to appear in two matches! First he defended his Florida Title against The Royal Knight and Jesse Long, which he succeeded in keeping, but then his match immediately afterwards saw the end of his Tag title reign, a whopping six months after winning the belts! Parker then became a singles competitor and joined The Resistance, still keeping his feud with The Royal Knight. Eventually Parker let his guard slip and the Royal Knight, ever the opportunist, jumped, taking Parker's title from him! but Parker rallied and soon enough won it back, making him the second person to be a two-time FLA Champ! And then, once again Parker made a breakthrough, the first Florida champ to willingly give away his Title.
Second Place is Gerard Carson, a superstar not fresh in our memory but still impressive enough to gain second Place. Carson goes down in history as WPW's first Dual Champion, holding both the Florida Title and the God Of Live, brought from PCW. Third is Brock Goodman, our Current Champion who impressed everyone in his victory in the 20 man TLC match at Hallowicked.
Tag Team of the Year:
J&J (Jamie Parker & Jason Bennett)
The Royalty (JMC & The Judge)
Tokester (Tank & The Jokester)
The Lady-Killers (Mykal Adams & Brock Goodman)
Team of Excellence (David Nicolls & Desmond Troy)
The Royalty-8
J&J-7
Team of Excellence-3
Tokester-2
LadyKillers-1
In a Confusing way, The Royalty may be remembered as the team that are the best because they beat the best team! The alliance between JMC and The Judge started at Redemption where He allied himself with the Judge, who brought The Royal Knight while JMC brought his current Tag Team Partner, Dust. Thus The Royal Plan was thus, JMC was to be WPW champion, The Royal Knight was Florida Champ and Dust & The Judge to be Tag Team champions. But with the Dissention of Dust from the Royal Ranks, a problem ensued.. What would happen to the Tag Ambitions. this was rectified as JMC seemed incapable of getting even close to the WPW title. Thus JMC and the Judge decided it would be they who became tag champions for The Royalty, and with much help from The Royal Knight, they completed their goal, defeating Jason Bennett and Jamie Parker at ReActivation, right after Parker had defeated The Royal Knight. Thus WPW's First World Champ teamed with WPW's First Tag Champion, and on paper this seemed indestructible! They have since defeated all challengers to their titles while still competing in the Tournament of Champions and are both in the ToC final at The PPV! Can their team survive the desire for the World Title?
A Close second was J&J, whom started as more a formality as Bennett won the right to the second half of the tag Team titles and thus was forced to be with Parker. Possibly the best thing he was ever forced to do! Third Place is the new and hungry Team of Excellence, that his been a thorn in Royalty's side and loving every second of it!
RP Battle of the Year:

The One Vs. JMC-5
Mike Adams Vs. The One Vs. Dust Vs. Scorch vs. Jeremiah Ranks vs. Andrew Xavier-1
The One Vs. Scorch-0
The Judge Vs. The One is a hell of a story, even though it only took place over... maybe three weeks at the most. The One's Return to WPW was a big event, overshadowed only by his leaving once again a week later due to a series of events not important to the storyline. Thus The One was to leave Permanently WPW with no fanfare and no ceremony. But The Judge stepped in and issued a challenge that he could not resist, a match he had never had. Thus The One, a main Eventer, a great of WPW took on The Judge... And The Judge Won. In an amazing series of RPs that beat even the power of many World Title Matches, The Judge emerged as the winner and The One was given a last send-off from WPW
Feud of the Year:
The Sophie Saga
Royalty Vs. Resistance
J&J Vs. Lady-Killers
JMC Vs. One
Scorch vs. Dust
JMC Vs. One-11
Royalty Vs. Resistance-5
J&J Vs. LadyKillers-3
The Sophie Saga-2
Scorch vs. Dust-0
JMC and The One was considered the Feud to watch out for when we ended 2006. and in 2007, their paths, which we knew were going to eventually cross, did such! WPW's two biggest faces would fight at Redemption, the biggest PPV, to combine both World titles into one. Their paths had first Crossed at WWC where JMC and The One were the last two members of Team WPW, who were at one point three-to-two down. After Everything Ends, both were left as World champions, but they still had feuds to do! For their first Match as both PCW and WPW champions, Cassius and The One teamed up against Mike Adams and Dan Murph in WPW's first Ever Steel Cage Tag team Match, which they barely ended up victorious in. As their feud continued, it looked as if Cassius was sabotaging The One while still smiling in his Face. But it was all his sister who treated The One with Disgust and Contempt., Even going so far as to place a forklift in front of his Door to stop him being partners with JMC. The Feud got Uglier as the two egos collided again and again, in Pick-Your-Poison and Champs Vs. Challengers Matches. Until Redemption, where it finally happened. James Moriarty Cassius Vs. The One. The Results seemed tog o on Forever, Sophie Cassius interfering, Carlos Gonzales trying to make his voice heard.. Even the Forklift Driver tried to get a piece of the action. But it culminated in one fact. The One defeated JMC and Became WPW Champion and PCW champion, destroying the only thing left that was PCW. But JMC did some destroying of his own, As soon as The One Had won, JMC led a new band of villains, Calling themselves the Royalty, down on The One. Just Like JMC started his reign as WPW champion by winning and then being beaten to a pulp, so Did The One. Thus Royalty and the One Clashed Again, The One having Allies in Scorch and SiNN. And the Two would clash again and again, leading their groups until they met once again at Payback, inside a steel Cage. The same cage that they had been partners in months before. It was there that, with their armies clashing outside, that The One once again Emerged victorious... Their feud ended as Carlos began to set other members of the Resistance against One another, Leaving Cassius to wait for the chance to strike at the One, but it never came. The One soon left WPW, leaving a great Feud still in our memories, over at the height of it's excitement.
In Second Place was Royalty Vs. Resistance, sometimes considered an overdone feud, but involving a grand total of Ten Superstars in its entirety. And Third Place Was J&J Vs. Lady-Killers, a feud that started off with the champs losing, but retaining and sparked from there!

The Judge-6
Neo-5
Legendaryken-5
Prometheus-3
Chazz-2
The Judge, when he can put the effort in, shines like a sun. He started off the year writing the Main event of WWC, a huge feat to read, let alone plan out and write. Judge has reserved himself for Special occasions mostly, which you can get away with when you're the boss, appearing usually if not exclusively at Pay Per View time. His other Crowning Achievement this year, still fresh in our memory banks would be the 20 man TLC match for the Absent Florida Title, great action, balanced out by Environmental-saving Al Gore and enough over-the-top spots to make Paul London Dizzy.
Second Prize goes to two men who can put in the yards week in and week out. Neo has filled in spectacularly for Chazz when he left the spot and is now exclusively our Main Event Writer, a glorious spot to win! Ken is a man who does not back away from a multiple man writing challenge, making the good look good and the absent look like Bee Fodder. WPW has a great set of writers, if I say so myself (Having worked on other feds before), and even if you're not on the list here, never put in a bad effort because your good is brilliant to read!
Biggest Turmoil of the Year:
The Dream defects, PCW Dies
Forsaken defeats The One
Royalty is Created
The One Leaves
The Dream defects, PCW dies-8
Royalty is Created-7
Forsaken Defeats The One-3
The One Leaves-3
The Dream was arguably the greatest thing to exit PCW, the lead babyface for its entire existence and having to always put up with the likes of The Judge and Ken playing storylines Man-In-Black Pranks on him and furthering him along. At WWC, The Dream was Finally PCW champion, having won the ToC 2 contest earlier. The Dream defects is a story that starts back when WPW was only a few months old, run by The Judge and PCW was run by a certain Prometheus and Mike Adams. Mike had a great idea to hold a joint PPV, and Promy had the idea that PCW was dead-as-hell and accepted it anywho. The Dream, unbeknownst to all except The Judge, wanted this to happen so he could jump to WPW.. and who could blame him? So with Judge, he did exactly that. He Left PCW at the WWC Main Event. Sadly, at the same time PCW died. Due to the fact that it was starting to go belly up as it was about to lose one of its owners, and WWC seemed a good storylined way to go out. Not originally booked as a winner-takes-all story, it was meant to be a cross-promotional series of exhibition matches, but that soon changed as it essentially was now a lifeboat to swing enough of PCW to the greener pastures of WPW. What surprised Prometheus, who knew that PCW was the dead, was how passionate the few remaining PCW guys were about their Company. Gunnar Brian, Xavier, Carson, they all felt like it was a good fight and talked about taking them WPW sumbitches down. It was kinda touching in a way. But nevertheless, PCW ran aground and was put to rest in WWC, the biggest turmoil of 2007!
Second was the formation of Royalty. James Moriarty Cassius and his tweener friend Dust, who called themselves "WPW Royalty" during The PCW invasion met up with uber-heel, The Judge and rising star, The stallion to Make The Royalty. Let debate run wild as to whether this was Good or Bad Turmoil.

“Don’t Forget the Rules” begins to play through the arena and the crowd is immediately up on their feet. Eventually the music Dies and the crowd stops making noise. A new song Starts up, "Kashmir" By Bond, a remake of the old Led Zeppelin Song plays and images of JMC begin to appear. The sound of so many people yelling their disapproval is deafening. With no real fear out comes James Moriarty Cassius, for the first time in nine months, without the WPW World Title with him. He appears at the entrance way with a huge grin on his face and a microphone already in his hand, unabashed by the crowd’s violent reaction. Cassius starts to walk down to the ring, this time not slapping hands with the crowd like he did but ignoring them. He dodges several pieces of rubbish thrown at him by a couple of fans which unnerves him slightly.
Daniel: Well here he is, our first ever Former WPW Champion. And Doesn’t he look pleased with himself!
Max: The Fans really have no problem giving him hell. After all those months he was their champ. How could they?
Daniel: He destroyed The One after he won the title. Mercilessly.
Max: but they still turned on Him.
Daniel: You’re an idiot. Were you even watching properly at redemption?
Max: ... I got confused around the time when Dust came out. I refuse to acknowledge the other things until someone explains them better.
Daniel: Well you might be in luck now because here comes the press conference!
Cassius has slipped into the ring, He rolls under and away from the crowd and their disapproving rubbish. He signals and raises the microphone to his own lips. He begins to speak but the noise does not die down for him. Cassius takes it down as the crowd cheers for their slight win. Cassius raises it up again and finally speaks
JMC: “What’s he then that says I play the villain?”
Max: The villain?
Daniel: I’m guessing it’s Shakespeare.
JMC: Now, truly is the winter of your own discontent. No Glorious fields and no sons of York. There is just me The villain. Me and my Kind of course. I hear your arguments, you boos, I have felt the sting of fans throwing bottles and rubbish at my direction. But let me ask you all something simple. How am I the villain? What have I done to deserve this? Why do you torment me with hate? My heart breaks to have the fans that loved me turn on me so. It pains every day that you turn from.... Oh I am so sorry, I simply cannot keep the act up any longer.
Cassius Looks up at the crowd and smirks at them, they again begin to harass him. But Cassius seems to love it!
Max: It’s been an act Daniel! JMC wasn’t really feeling sorry!
Daniel: Shut up and listen!
JMC: Oh, but how fun it was to act and perform. To fool you all into believing that I was an honourable champion. How you all thought I loved you! How you all swore my innocence when tragedy befalls The One! And the sweetest performance of all, the best part I performed was convincing The One that we were friends! And it was all believed, swallowed up by everyone involved. Now you know why I was an actor. Now you know why I love to perform so much! I have the gift of deceit and I use it so well! If only for the sake of personal pleasure, in seeing someone fall. In seeing every fan be tricked. Welcome to then end of the Lies of James Cassius, I lie no more. But I will still be your enemy. And in honesty, I do not care any longer.
The Time of Cassius as Champion has died. I know this and I admit it does anger me to no longer be something that I once was. The One will pay, but for now he is most likely asleep in a hospital bed still attempting to fit square objects through round holes or trying to remember the fourth grade. But this night is not about the WPW Champion. It is About Real champions. Real Friends. Tonight is about one thing.
Royalty!
It is about showing the past, showing the brilliance Royalty performed over the past month sine I stopped caring about you all. How we set traps, how we will eventually become the rulers of WPW once more. You will all eventually be Counting the Bodies we leave Like Sheep to the Rhythm of our War Drum. This is my promise. Welcome To A segment that may become a staple of WPW. A segment to leave The scorcher dead, to be more colourful than the White House. Welcome to The royal Court! And who better to be the first interviewers on The Royal Court than Three of the greatest men in WPW! Welcome, fans of WPW, to the Greatest of factions.
Welcome Dust!
Welcome The Judge!
And Welcome The Stallion!

Mykal Adams-2
It must be a considerable feather in you cap to appear in a Federation for only a month, the first month no less, and still become that Federations Most Missed! But that's exactly what Cornelius Q. Dream has done for us. Defection to WPW at the end of the WWC main Event willingly rather than forcefully after, he helped guaranteed the WPW win and thus was welcomed with open arms. Continuing his alliance with The Jokester as The Dream Team, he held the PCW title and the two immediately went on to Feud with the WPW champion, JMC and his Partner, Dust. At Ruined Fate, The Dream came remarkably close to defeating JMC but a wayward Square in the Nuts disqualified the PCW Star. After that, things went downhill, he didn't lose his PCW title but he eventually was kidnapped by the Nicaraguan Death Squad, yes you heard right. Since then no hide nor hair of The Dream has been seen. The Jokester has been missing him too, trying to recreate the magic with newcomer Tank. Might we ever see The Dream Again?
Second Place goes to Gerard Carson and The One, Carson Left us at Redemption after losing his Florida State Title To Nick Comoroto. Carson set a record as the only WPW Superstar to ALWAYS have a Title Around his waist in the company, holding the IOW Championship, The God of Live AND The Florida State Title, Recently he has finally signed away his contract, seemingly ending the Possibility to return to us here at WPW. The One's absence has also been duly noted by our voters, rocking in at second as well. He disappeared from WPW the day after his loss to Scorch at ReActivation, fired by Carlos Gonzales. His Return with the Army of One was sadly short lived as he handed in his resignation the week after, agreeing to one more match with The Judge.
Who To Watch in 2008:
2
Darian Entreri
Gunnar Brian
Jamie Parker
The Jokester
2-15
Darian Entreri-2
The Jokester-2
Gunnar Brian-1
Jamie Parker-1
2, our Hardcore champion, rockets into the lead in Who To Watch. Starting off his career in WPW as The One's Manager, he has certainly made his name into our company and cementing himself in our minds. His first real challenge was against The One on a Live Main Event where he lost. But he never made a habit of it since! 2 then went on to win the Hardcore Title from Twizted and defend it in the new rules where a challenger would arise every week! He defeated all of them, including WPW Champ, The One! Ironically in two weeks, 2 Reaches the 6 Months milestone as champion. Also this week, 2 tries to wrestle the secondary title, The Florida state championship, from the clutches of Brock Goodman, making him the first Hardcore and Florida Champion. With this promising event, 2 is destined to be a big hitter in 2008!
And, of course our last and comedic little segment we like to call.
Most Likely Shock in 2008:
Finally a Heel World Champ-8
Jokester not to be overlooked in RP battle-4
Scorch to post early-5 (Definatly not this week!)
JMC To Come out of Closet-1
Cameron to Make Sense-1
Well, I guess this is officially the last WPW Event for 2007, I hope everyone enjoyed the experience of not just reading this spiel by me, but everything the staff did in 2007. And from what looks likely to happen in just the coming few weeks, 2008 is gonna be great!
