The Best: A CWFH Weekend Preview

At long last the weekend is here and with it comes another must-see hour of Championship Wrestling From Hollywood! Last Week, CWFH Minority Owner Nikko Marquez promised a grand return this week and he was not lying. Strutting through the curtain from the Last Stop on the Loop, we’ll see the return of Levi Shapiro and Buddy Royal, the Classic Connection. This established Hollywood tag team will step into the ring with the newly formed duo of Ryan Taylor and Tomaste. Is The Office stronger than ever or will Taylor and Tomaste find victory in their mantra of “Progress, not Perfection?”

It would be easy to say that winning the PP3 Cup last week was the biggest win in Suede Thompson’s career. It would be easy to say that because Thompson has spent the last week dancing through Sin City with the PP3 Cup in his hands. The 2018 Cup Bearer will be in action on the program this week!

In our Main Event, #1 Contender to the United Television Championship Ray Rosas gets his hands on the man with that gold, Scorpio Sky. Unfortunately for Rosas, Sky was able to convince Nikko Marquez to make this match Non-title. With Ray hungrier than ever, he will have to prove yet again that he is worthy of a title opportunity by taking out his frustrations on Scorpio Sky. All this and more on this week’s Championship Wrestling From Hollywood!

Web Exclusive Match: Jocephus Makes Threat Towards Nick Aldis

Jocephus

In early 2018, the man known as Jocephus defeated former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Tim Storm in an Empty Arena Match with one goal in mind: taking Storm’s rematch for the “Ten Pounds of Gold” and using it to challenge Nick Aldis himself. Jocephus recently returned to Championship Wrestling From Hollywood for the first time since injuring Tim Storm with a ladder at Milestone. With a guaranteed shot at the Worlds Heavyweight Championship in his future, Jocephus had a message for the Champion, Nick Aldis.

2018 PP3 Cup Bearer: Suede Thompson

“When I heard that three count, the only thing that went through my mind was, ‘I did it. I finally did it. No more doubts.’” An extremely proud Suede Thompson has been strutting around Sin City with the PP3 Cup in his grasp. Landing a 450 Splash onto PP3 Finalist Royce Isaacs and scoring a pinfall victory has bigger implications for the “One Man Show” than just winning one Main Event match. Coming out on top in the Percival Pringle III Memorial Cup Tournament is a career-making moment for Suede Thompson and one that he doesn’t intend on letting slip through his fingers.

For former PP3 Cup Holders, winning that Tournament has been a launching pad to stardom and, for some, certain gold. In the past, Cup Winners like Ricky Mandel (2014) and YUMA (2015) have elected to use their title opportunity to challenge for and win the Hollywood Heritage Championship. Other Cup Holders like Watts (2016) and Dicky Mayer (2017) have found partners and have gone after the United World Tag Team Championship. 2018 is the first year that the Cup allows the Holder to challenge for any title defended in the United Wrestling Network. That opens up a whole world of possibility for Suede, because if he successfully challenges the right opponent at the right time, he could be on the fast track to title defenses all over the United Wrestling Network and all over the world. With that in mind and United set to crown its first World Champion this year, the “CEO of Suederade” has a lot of options when it comes to his title opportunity. HollywoodWrestling.com asked Thompson if he has any United Champions already in mind when the time comes to use Percy’s Privilege.

“As far as focusing on one certain title,” says Suede with a contemplative expression, “I’m keeping my options open and will be scouting the very deep talent pool that United has to offer.” Patience is a virtue and one that will hopefully pay off in a big way for the 2018 Cup Bearer. “Top Guy” is no longer just a nickname for Suede Thompson. Fanfare for Suede has been overwhelmingly positive and his victory in the finals of the PP3 Memorial Cup Tournament proves that he is the man to watch in 2018. Everything’s looking up, so turn down for what?!

 

Finals: A CWFH Weekend Preview

Senior Official Nick Bonanno explains the rules for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship bout.
What an incredible episode Championship Wrestling From Hollywood has in store this week! The Aldis Crusdade kicks off in Hollywood, as NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis makes his first defense of the “Ten Pounds of Gold.” Aldis requested that his first challenger be a competitor who “is a former World Champion or has beaten a former World Champion.” That paints the picture of a wrestler of impressive stature and commendable mettle. Aldis’ description also accurately describes James Ellsworth, who accepted the challenge for the first defense of the Aldis Crusade. Is Los Angeles just the beginning for Nick Aldis’ worldwide journey or will the “Chinless Wonder” pull off the upset of the century? As Ellsworth says himself, “Any man with two hands has a fighting chance!”

Next up on the program, you’ll see “American Thunder” Dicky Mayer taking on the elusive Vintage Dragon. Mayer has had a lot on his mind lately with the shadow of Bateman always lurking in the back of his head. Could Dicky’s wild thoughts spell victory for Vintage Dragon?

In this week’s Main Event, the climatic conclusion of the Percival Pringle III Memorial Cup Tournament unfolds. After months of build up, the tournament has whittled down to the two most promising individuals on the Championship Wrestling From Hollywood roster, Royce Isaacs and Suede Thompson. With a shot at any title defended in the United Wrestling Network on the line, Royce and Suede will give up no ground, lest they give up everything that they’ve worked for in their careers up until this moment. You won’t want to miss a moment of this week’s historic Championship Wrestling From Hollywood!

Hollywood Heritage Title Match Announced for March 11

The past eight months since Bad Dude Tito captured the Hollywood Heritage Championship have had its ups and downs for the “Baddest Dude in Professional Wrestling.” Despite successfully defending his title against giants like Watts, Brian Cage, and Jeff Cobb, Tito still has not earned the respect of The Office, specifically CWFH Minority Owner Nikko Marquez. Marquez has determined that if he cannot find a challenger big enough to take the Championship away from his Champion, he will resolve to remove the power that the title gives to Tito.

“The contract that I wrote for the Hollywood Heritage Champion, and signed by Tito himself, states that ‘The Champion must be featured on the program,’” says Nikko Marquez through a sly grin, “But it doesn’t say that the title needs to be on the line.” That technicality has afforded the Minority Owner and Matchmaker to hold up to his contractual obligations without giving Tito the pleasure of calling himself a defending Champion. “The roster has been mostly quiet now, and Tito has been more or less playing ball with us. So I was thinking about our upcoming Television Events and what would look good on the marquee. At that point, a member of our locker room politely reached out and asked for a title opportunity, which I granted.” HollywoodWrestling.com has learned that on March 11, Bad Dude Tito will put the Hollywood Heritage Championship on the line against Kevin Condron.

After over a year of struggling to find his place on Championship Wrestling From Hollywood, Kevin Condron is now preparing for the biggest match of his career. Though Kevin catches the ire of the fans more than their adoration, the viewing audience can tell you that despite his antics, Condron has some notable accomplishments in CWFH. Kevin Condron competed in the 2017 Red Carpet Rumble and was a featured entrant in the 2018 PP3 Memorial Cup Tournament. It would be unwise to count him out purely on the contempt he feels from those around him. Kevin has several resources in his arsenal including his crafty Social Media Manager, Thomas, and a vicious Snap DDT that has left several laying in the path behind him. Kevin Condron may be the unlikeliest of challengers for the Hollywood Heritage Championship, but perhaps he is the most fitting.

“I will fight like my life depends on it!” exclaims an impassioned Condron, “…because it does!” Bad Dude Tito vs. Kevin Condron for the Hollywood Heritage Championship takes place Sunday March 11 at the Oceanview Pavilion. Don’t miss it!

 

Mask vs Mask: A CWFH Weekend Preview

By JT Ticonderoga
The weekend is here and that means a brand new episode of Championship Wrestling From Hollywood is on its way! This week’s program is loaded with huge matchups and each one is a Main Event caliber contest. Take a look!
We kick off this week with two Championship rivalries in one ring. Ray Rosas teams with Hollywood Heritage Champion Bad Dude Tito to take on Kevin Condron and United Television Champion Scorpio Sky. With Rosas as the #1 Contender to Sky’s title and Condron the #1 Contender to Bad Dude Tito, this match is sure to break down into a Hollywood barn burner! Will Ray and Tito say “Adios Amigos” and have their opponents fade to black or will Kevin Condron and Scorpio Sky show that they are inarguably “the best?”

Next up we have a huge return to CWFH as Willie Mack makes his way back to the Oceanview Pavilion after over a one year absence. Unfortunately for Willie, there have been a number of very talented young wrestlers who have stepped up in that year. 2018 PP3 stand out “Uptown” Andy Brown goes toe-to-toe with Mack on this episode in a spectacle that is sure to catch the attention of matchmaker Nikko Marquez.

In this week’s Main Event, Championship Wrestling From Hollywood presents a match between two teams of luchadors with the highest stakes imaginable. After months of torment by Howdy Price and back-and-forth violence on both sides, The Rancheros will step into the ring against Spirit and the Stars in a “Mask vs Mask” Match. The losing team will be forced to unmask and will never be able to wear the mask again. The implications of this stipulation are enormous for any luchador, as many Mexican wrestlers who’ve lost a “Lucha de Apuesta” have never been able to recoup the popularity they enjoyed under a mask. With everything on the line, Raul, Rogelio, Espiritu, and Astro Viajero will stop at nothing to cling to their identities and tear away that from the men standing across the ring from them. The Rancheros vs Spirit and the Stars: Mask vs Mask. You don’t want to miss this week’s edition of Championship Wrestling From Hollywood!

Reno Scum Defends the United World Tag Team Championship on Feb 25

After ridding the United Wrestling Network of former World Tag Team Champions Pac 3, Luster the Legend and Adam Thornstowe have declared that they will defend their titles anywhere in the world. With a television broadcast emanating from Shanghai, China on the horizon, the men collectively known as Reno Scum are soon to make their promise a reality. But before their flight for the Far East takes off, they must first put those titles on the line one more time in Hollywood. But who will step up to challenge the Champs?

Championship Wrestling From Hollywood’s Minority Owner Nikko Marquez has been scouting tag teams from across the United Wrestling Network to find a duo that will bring the most exciting fight to television. With touches of “old school” brawling in the repertoire of Reno Scum, Nikko’s task to match that skill set struck an idea in his head to push the matchup forward – or Retro Forward. The team that Nikko has signed for the next World Tag Team Title opportunity is none other than The Office’s own Classic Connection.

Levi Shapiro and Buddy Royal, The Classic Connection.

“Buddy and Levi have been doing a great job representing The Office in their time away from Championship Wrestling From Hollywood,” says a swamped Nikko Marquez. “From what Peter has told me, Classic Connection has been a pillar of contribution on the Championship Wrestling from Arizona roster. Since synergy is a focus of The Office’s re-org, seeing their attention to making other United promotions function shows me that they are deserving of a title opportunity against Reno Scum.”

The matchmaker has spoken and Classic Connection will challenge the United Wrestling Network World Tag Team Champions Reno Scum on February 25th at the Oceanview Pavilion. Don’t miss it!

Scorpio Sky Squares Off with Ray Rosas on Feb 25

United Wrestling Network Television Champion Scorpio Sky has been on a roll at Championship Wrestling From Hollywood in 2018. After taking that title away from longtime Champion Rocky Romero, Sky has been busy telling the entire United Wrestling Network that he is “The Best.” Now with upstart Chris Bey in tow, he’s taking the time each week to teach new generations of fans and wrestlers just what Scorpio Sky is all about. But it’s in these lessons – a segment he refers to as the “Sky Box” – that Scorpio Sky seems to have forgotten that there is an accomplished competitor in his rear view mirror with a rightful shot at the United Television Championship.

Ray Rosas has had a monumental year thus far in his own right. After defeating “Professional” Peter Avalon in a Steel Cage Match at Milestone, Ray has been collecting huge victories that have set his career path towards certain gold. On a recent episode of the program, Rosas defeated both Dicky Mayer and Watts in a Three Way Dance to become the new #1 Contender to the United Television Championship and has wasted no time in asking for that title match. Scorpio Sky has agreed to go one-on-one with his #1 Contender on Feb 25th, but with a catch.

“It will be non-title,” says CWFH Minority Owner Nikko Marquez. “Sky feels (and we agree) that Ray’s #1 Contendership victory may have been a fluke. It is important that every contender is ‘championship material,’ and therefore the United Television Title will not be on the line.” HollywoodWrestling.com reached out to Ray Rosas to see how he is dealing with this news.

“He doesn’t want to put the title on the line?” asked a let down but not surprised Ray Rosas. “Okay. That’s just another thing I’ll have to overcome. Because that’s what I do. I get dealt a hand, I persist, and I overcome.”

What will happen when Ray Rosas and Scorpio Sky step into the ring on Feb 25th? Come to the Oceanview Pavilion and find out!

 

PP3 Memorial Cup Finals


“I’ve worked hard the last three years at Championship Wrestling From Hollywood to get this opportunity,” says PP3 Finalist Suede Thompson in between sets at the gym. “I’ll be damned if I let this slip through my grasp.” After weeks of qualifiers and unrelenting rounds of tournament matches, we have arrived at the finals of the Percival Pringle III Memorial Cup Tournament. On February 11th at the CWFH Television Event in Port Hueneme, California, the tournament will come to a close and we will find out who will be the 2018 Cup Bearer. You’d be hard pressed to find two individuals who’ve worked harder to get to this stage than Suede Thompson and Royce Isaacs and they’ve told each other as much.

“This is a matchup with bigger implications than just you and I,” says Isaacs with a message for Thompson. “We are two people with very different beliefs. I hope you’re as strong as your beliefs because I will challenge every one of them.” A challenge from Royce Isaacs is not to be taken lightly. As soon as he qualified for the PP3 Tournament, Royce challenged former Cup Holder Watts to a match to show that he can hit as hard as the man with the power of Hyperoptimism. To get to the Finals, Isaacs put down two notable contenders: fan favorite “Uptown” Andy Brown and previous PP3 Cup Winner and former Hollywood Heritage Champion Ricky Mandel. Royce has what it takes, and Suede Thompson has taken notice.

“Royce is an extremely talented wrestler, but I’m the whole package,” says Thompson, who scored victories over the likes of Big Duke and DJ Hyde before entering the PP3 Tournament to get wins over Richie Slade and Julius Coleman. “I’ve never been more confident in my abilities and plan to showcase that in the PP3 Cup Finals.”

Make sure to join us on Sunday, February 11th at the Oceanview Pavilion to see the Finals of the PP3 Memorial Cup Tournament unfold!
