The UNION of Independent Professional Wrestlers returns to Toronto for its first event in almost three years with “REBIRTH OF THE COOL” on Saturday September 18th 2010 at the Todmorden Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion (1083 Pape Avenue). Doors open at 7pm. Bell time is 7:30. It’s hard-hitting, high-flying, fast-paced, no holds barred wrestling action the way that only The UNION can deliver!
In the main event of the evening, it’s a grudge match almost 3 years in the making as “The King of Old School” STEVE CORINO defends his UNION Heavyweight title against the former champion SEBASTIAN DARK, leader of The MIRACLE VIOLENCE CULT. “The Bastard Son of 1,000 Corpses” tried to end Corino’s life the night he won the title by attacking him and attempting to suffocate him with a plastic bag. Now, Dark gets his shot at the title and Corino gets his shot at revenge.
Then, four of Ontario’s top tag teams will compete in a one-night tournament to decide the new UNION Tag Team champions. The two first-round matches are set as SEBASTIAN SUAVE and BRENT BANKS team up to face members of the Miracle Violence Cult, “The Canadian Crazy Horse” MICHAEL ELGIN and “Rockstar” ASHLEY SIXX. Plus, THE YOUNG & THE RELENTLESS will do battle with THE HOLLYWOOD HUNKS. The winners of these two matches will face each other later in the night to crown the new champions.
Also on the card, international wrestling star RICO MONTANA returns from another successful tour of Mexico to challenge up-and-coming young sensation JOSH ALEXANDER. Montana demanded this match from UNION Officials saying that Josh was “a little boy in a man’s sport” and that “he needs to learn the meaning of respect”. And the Northern Lights Cruiserweight Division kicks off in style with two fast-paced, high-flying fights. First, “The High Risk Hero” RIP IMPACT goes to war against “Impact” EDDIE OSBOURNE and then “The Midnight Special” RJ CITY will try to outsmart “The Hacker” SCOTTY O’SHEA.
