http://www.facebook.com/events/200426630078250/
No the Pro stars aren’t the famed athletes from the early 90s cartoon(No Bo? But Bo knows EVERYTHING). They’re the stars of Squared Circle wrestling a company that also has a school CHOCK FULL of upcoming talent trying to steal the spotlight. Will the PRO STARS lay down and let the next wave of superstars knock them down? Not very likely. June 2nd at the Vaughan Trio sportsplex see the evolution of Ontario wrestling as the stars of tomorrow face the vets holding it down today. Will the rookies hold their ground and prove to the world what they have to offer OR fall to the wayside in defeat. Its all or nothing, Pros vs. Young stars 2 who will prevail?

Strathroy Ontario hasn’t seen wrestling of this crazyness probably EVER. Don’t miss out if you’re in the area. You’d have to be DELIRIOUS to miss out(wocka wocka wocka).
ROH Border Wars quick results
Posted in Ont.indy on May 15, 2012 by wtfhwrestling
In the opener Grizzly Redwood beat Delirious.
2nd match saw Eddy Edwards schoolboy his way to victor over Rhino. Rhino teased an attack on Truth Martini but I’m not sure why past pandering to the fans.
Next was a 6 man tag which saw TJ Perkins and the All Night Express put away the team of Mike Mondo and the Young Bucks.
Jay Lethal beat Thomasso Ciampa w.the Embassy to end Ciampas year long undefeated streak. At one point R.d Evans got assaulted off the ring apron.
Lance Storm beat Mike Bennett with Brutal Bob Evans,Jimmy Korderas was special referee.
UNBREAKABLE Michael Elgin beat Adam Cole with a buckle bomb and a spinning powerbomb.
Roderick Strong retained his ROH tv title over Belfast Bruiser Fit Finley.
For the tag championships the Worlds greatest tag team Haas and BEnjamin beat the Briscoe Brothers to be new champions in a anything goes match. WGTT used a rag with ether or something to subdue the champions who came out initially brandishing hockey sticks and helmets.
In the main event for the Ring of honor title WRESTLINGS WORST NIGHTMARE KEVIN STEEN defeated Davey Richards to be new ROH champion.
All in all a very good show I heard technical difficulties blacked out some of the show but live it came across pretty well. Fans who stayed around after the show got to see Kevin Steen proudly presenting his new title to the supportive Ontario fans. Roh returns to Ontario OCT 13th to the international centre which is a shitty venue *shrugs*

Heavyweight WRESTLING weekend
Posted in commentary on May 25, 2012 by wtfhwrestlingThis weekend UFC is promoting an all heavyweight pay per view event,featuring a title defense from champion Junior Dos Santos and Frank Mir. JDS has been on a roll for his last few fights and Mir has always been a machine on the ground. JDS put away wrestling standout and former champ Cain Velasquez in mere seconds to win the title. So one has to wonder if he’ll allow the fight to go to the ground or if he gets caught with one of Mirs big head kicks he’s been killing people with lately.
Its no secret wrestling is the best background to any aspiring mixed martial artist and this weekend might prove just that some more. Outside of the UFC as well Cole Konrad is defending his Bellator championship Friday night. Conrad is thought of to a lot of MMA fans as being Brock Lesnars training partner and college wrestling alum. Last week as well HW wrestler Daniel Cormier used his constant pressure to score a decision over other wrestling notable Josh Barnett.
The previously mentioned Cain Velsquez will probably be looking to show off his wrestling pedigree Saturday in his fight with striker and jj practioner BIG FOOT SILVA another fight on UFC 146 tomorrow.
With all of the heavyweight wrestling success in MMA one has to wonder if its only a matter of time before the big boys start switching to the WWE route. KING MO LAWAL recently inked a contract that puts him in Bellator as well as TNA IMPACT and any WWE fan would notice the impact made by Brock Lesnar in his return. The roundest fighter in the UFC teased a possible WWE run as well to compete with Brock. With Brock breaking the stigma against “pro” wrestling how prevalent will crossing over sports be for MMA athletes in the future?
There has been a few cases of MMA organizations trying to cross over heavyweights from the WWE with terrible results(Bart Gunn,Sean O’Haire etc.)but how will the outlook change once nationally credited wrestlers start winding down their MMA careers and turning pro? Will the Roy Nelsons,Josh Barnetts and Daniel Cormiers be the champions of the future with combat experience behind them or is this just another flash in the pan idea wrestling fans have become more than used to. The WORLDS MOST DANGEROUS MAN Ken Shamrock broke down the cross over MMA star gimmick over ten years ago why not again?
To me as a wrestling fan I don’t find the crossing over very appealing in that I would rather see people do what they do best than what someone will pay them for. The best fighter that came from a pro background to me will always be KAZUSHI SAKURABA. He kept entertainment in each of his bouts going for unorthodox moves most martial artists would find too wacky to even worry about. His risky style often put losses on his record but no one ever doubted his love for the sport or heart he showed every match.
In the end I guess my question is will the MMA world ever see another Sakuraba? Someone equally entertaining as vicious with no fear in this point scoring world of fighters today while still honoring a pro wrestling past? Who knows but if Brock Lesnar being regarded by some as a UFC legend is any indicator we could see a lot of talent crossing over as well as excelling at both sports.
