TWO NORTHEAST LEGENDS RETURN, LARRY WINTERS’ OPEN CHALLENGE ACCEPTED, NEW NAMES ANOUNCED,TOYS FOR TOTS & HELP BODYSLAM AUSTISM, and the TWA debut of “Late Night” with “The Midnight Idol? NICKY BENZ…
The TWA Office spoke to “Mad Dog” D.C. (Don) Drake just a few days ago. It was really good to hear from him and most of all to hear he is feeling good. Anyone who knows Northeast indie wrestling, NWF, TWA, ECW, etc, knows what Don has done and what he has contributed. It will be a great pleasure to see Don on Dec 5, 2009 as he makes a Special Appearance for the TWA. Please come out and help us greet and welcome D.C. Drake, a true legend!!!
When you talk about D.C. Drake, one named comes to mind immediately?Larry Winters! Winters, the self-proclaimed “Living Legend,” has both teamed and faced D.C. Drake many times in the past. From pushing D.C. Drake over a balcony wall at TEMPLE UNIVERSITY’s McGonigle Hall to turning his back on the fans and joining Drake in the heel faction “The DOG POUND,” Winters’ & Drake’s careers have been intertwined.
Winters, however, has other a different issue to attend to on December 5th…his OPEN CHALLENGE to anyone in the TWA Locker Room! Winters has been complaining incessantly since the resurrection of the TWA that he is THEE LEGEND, that he should have received the TWA heavyweight title shot against “Nature Boy” Buddy Landel on October 24th, and that he is not getting the respect that he has earned and deserves. Perhaps in a moment of anger and haste, Winters issued an OPEN CHALLENGE for December 5th. Many great talents made a bid to accept the challenge, but one was the most persistent and we could not deny him. He is a man also from Larry Winters’ past and one who knows him very well. And that man is … King Kaluha!!!
Known to many independent area workers as THE LEGEND and the GODFATHER for his experience and longevity, Kaluha has taken great offense to Winters’ claim to being THEE LIVING LEGEND, and he plans to set the record straight on December 5th. Kaluha has faced Winters many times in the past, and has even teamed with him on occasion too. Winters was not too pleased with the announcement and had this to say, “Whaaat!? The Open Challenge was for anyone in the TWA LOCKER ROOM!! King Kaluha doesn’t even work for the TWA! I’m going to have my lawyers look into this, but, you know what? It doesn’t even matter! Because I will beat Kaluha like I beat him 20 years ago, case closed!” Unbeknownst to Winters, the TWA Commissioner Joel Goodhart had already come to an agreement with King Kaluha to compete in the TWA before Winters made his OPEN CHALLENGE.
Also, an opponent has been named for the debuting Ryu Lee. Also making his TWA debut is the man who hails from “Egg Harbor Township, Japan” White Lotus! Lotus and Ryu Lee are no strangers to each other inside the squared circle and both promise to deliver a great match on December 5th!
In addition to collecting toys for TOYS for TOTS, “Wiseguy” Jimmy Cicero will be BODYSLAMMING AUTISM on December 5th. Cicero has been entered into the NUMBER ONE CONTENDER’S BATTLE ROYAL, but he will also be the guest of “Late Night” with your host “The Midnight Idol” Nicky Benz! Jimmy Cicero will be telling everyone about his campaign to BODYSLAM AUSTIM as well a future venture with the TWA! Go to Jimmy’s web page to support BODYSLAMMING AUTISM at http://www.jimmycicerowrestling.com/products.html. Jimmy is selling T-Shirts there to help promote Autism Awareness and the proceeds go to help Autism education and research.
