[PWG: The Very Best Professional Wrestling in the Universe]

"THE VERY BEST PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING IN THE UNIVERSE"

Reseda, California, USA – One of the top indy companies in America, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla was started in the summer of 2003. The group that started the company was Disco Machine, Excalibur, Scott Lost, Joey Ryan, Super Dragon, and Top Gun Talwar. Several remain involved with the company a decade later. Never moving outside of its home in Reseda, the company was the first “super indy," regularly bringing in the best talent from the US indy scene and from abroad. It also mixes in a large dose of humor with the ring work, which can be absolutely top level itself. While it has long relied on DVD sales, it may need to evolve in era where streaming services look to be a centerpiece of growth.

Chapter 3.5: Oh God, The Aftermath

 

Immediately after Genesis...

 

Jack Appleton

and

Patrick "X" Herzog

 

"I'm afraid to ask this... but what were you two thinking?!?!?"

 

Genesis had gone better than anyone, especially me, expected. The crowd seemed entertained. The church who hosted us was mostly pleased. No one got hurt, no one cursed loudly enough for any small ears to hear, and no one had a terrible night.

 

But that freaking table spot.

 

Jack and Patrick knew the deal. This wasn't going to be ECXW all over again. You couldn't bleed, you couldn't use weapons.

 

"After all we went over, you STILL decide to jump off a balcony and through a table?"

 

"Man, just chill. First of all, it wasn't even their table. It was one that we got before the show and gimmicked ourselves. No one left, no one shut the place down. A few white folks were scared, but that happens every time they go outside. So why are you yelling at me?"

 

"I'm yelling at you because you KNOW you weren't supposed to do that. And even before the spot, you two decided to do everything in the ring BUT make each other bleed. You could have jeopardized this whole company halfway through the first card! That's not what these people are paying to see!"

 

"And that's my fault?"

 

"It's gonna be your fault when we don't have any other place book us again! It's gonna be your fault when we're all scraping by on random indies again! It's gonna be your fault when you screw up your chance to scam your grandmother!"

 

Ooh, he didn't like that.

 

"You mention my Grandma again, we gon' have some real problems."

 

Maybe I had a death wish.

 

"Jack, you don't seem to understand that I'm trying to make sure you don't lose this job. You might be here because Cindy loves her niece, but you are not going to get in the way of her and her money. If you pull a stunt like this again, she'll send you packing right to Philly in an instant. Trust me."

 

"Just let it go, baby."

 

Kaylee Steiner

 

"Everybody in that building is going to remember that and remember you for the rest of their lives. Matt's probably just jealous."

 

"Kaylee, thanks for chiming in. I'm honestly surprised I have nothing to get mad at you over right now."

 

"Whatever. I know I did my job right. And Jack did, too."

 

"Just don't let it happen again, Jack. And don't put any ideas in his head, Kaylee."

 

I turned my head to X, who was blankly staring at the wall the entire time.

 

"Got anything to say, Pat?"

 

(grunts)

 

"You know, Cindy tells me that you two talk all the time... and I don't think I've ever heard you say a full sentence."

 

(grunts again)

 

"Sounds about right. Are we clear about the future, guys? No wild brawls, no jumping off of parts of the building?"

 

Jack just glared at me and walked away with Kaylee. Patrick quietly walked off.

 

At least neither of them attacked me. This time.

 

Before everybody left the gym, I made sure to praise Lenny for his performance. He seemed genuinely surprised that the crowd embraced him as much as they did. I told him he sealed the deal tonight... he was going to be a huge part of what we want to do.

 

Cindy Austin

 

Cindy came over during our conversation, praising her "sweet boy" for his back-and-forth with her on the microphone in the promo. He was appreciative but looked unsure of how to feel about extra attention from her. But, since she was a changed woman, the conversation didn't end with anything illegal being discussed.

 

Then it was the two of us, running down what had happened.

 

"I talked to Jack and Patrick about the table spot. I think they got the message, but I never really can tell with those two."

 

"The church people didn't get too mad about it, and it definitely is gonna get people talking when Johnny puts the matches on YouTube."

 

"Please don't encourage them, Cindy."

 

"What can I say, they're my guys."

 

While we only made $18 worth of merch sales... two teenagers bought t-shirts in what I'm sure to be some sort of irony thing... the gate revenue was pretty encouraging. Between that, the sponsors and the donations, we would come pretty close to breaking even in our first month.

 

"It's a start. I just hope another church will be able to find us and want to bring us in next month."

 

"So how did it feel to own a wrestling company whose first show didn't end in arrests or hospitalizations?"

 

"I know you still probably think this is some sort of joke, Matt. But I really enjoy being around these people. I talked to so many nice folks here. The kids were all excited. You even had some old wrasslin' fans down here impressed with the show, Mr. Booker."

 

"We've got a pretty good crew, when they're not doing something suicidal with church architecture."

 

"Well, thank you. I know it's just one show, but... this feels like it's going to be something really special. Don't you think?"

 

"Yeah... I think special is a pretty good word."

Chapter 3: Genesis

 

Before the show...

 

I couldn't believe it.

 

I was expecting fights. Destruction. A fire or two, maybe. At least one major crime taking place.

 

We had so many rules in place. Since it was a church building, there would be zero drugs, alcohol or tobacco. No one could even play music that had a single profanity in it. Everybody had to show up well before the show, because we needed all the help we could get in setting things up. There was no catering and no benefits.

 

And yet, the backstage area, which was really just an industrial kitchen, some storage areas and a couple of locker rooms inside a small gymnasium, was pretty peaceful. Everybody went about their business.

 

Lenny had found an old karaoke machine in one of the storage areas. The only songs on it were 1990s contemporary Christian music hits, so he and Riptide pulled off a rousing rendition of dc Talk's "Jesus Freak" for everyone.

 

I had expected the worst. Our fearless owner Cindy had apparently started some sort of war with Tylene Moore and AMAZON for simply... existing. We hadn't signed any female wrestlers yet, as Julie had just announced she was no longer going to be wrestling. Very much a people person, she was going to be a huge help in smoothing things over backstage in addition to her work as the timekeeper and semi-regular manager for me and Tracy

 

Kaylee showed up with Jack bragging about how much weight she had lost during the summer so far. But that was the extent of her pre-show contributions. I was expecting all sorts of terror, considering what had gone on back in Miami.

 

Soon enough, it was time to get going. The baptist church's youth minister gave some opening comments before handing the microphone over to Wesley. We had a pretty easy arrangement with the church: We pay to use the facility, we get the ticket revenue, they get a bunch of newcomers to invite to their Sunday services. The gymnasium was a familiar setup for most of us, so it would be just like any other small indy show we had done in the past.

 

Well, except for the fact that it was going to be bloodless, sexless, and swear-less, all while teaching all the little church kids in the seats to cheer for the good guys and boo the bad guys. But maybe we had something up our sleeves for the older crowd, too.

 

And it was Cindy's idea to give them a big surprise in the opening match...

 

RING OF FAITH: GENESIS

Montgomery, AL

Friday, Week 4, July 2021

95 fans in attendance

 

Wesley Johnson

 

Wesley opened the show by pumping up the crowd and telling them they were about to witness something that they had never seen before in professional wrestling. He did a great job of selling Ring of Faith like it was some real polished ministry, instead of a spur-of-the-moment decision by a former strip club empress who may or may not be trying to make a quick buck.

 

Julie Justice

 

After he introduced the two wrestlers for the opening contest, Julie walked over to him and whispered something in his ear. Wesley looked quite surprised before turning back to the crowd and booming...

 

Wesley Johnson:

Ladies and gentlemen, I have just been informed that this match... the very first one in Ring of Faith history... will be for... THE BIBLE BELT CHAMPIONSHIP!

 

Julie comes back to the ring carrying a black strap with gold plates. There's a giant cross in the center of it. Just... use your imagination here. We're limited in the graphics department right now.

 

Wesley really plays up the announcement. He's pretty good at improvising, which is helpful, because we didn't tell him this was happening beforehand. This news fires up both competitors, who are ready to put on a show and get all these nice folks locked into what we're doing from the very beginning.

 

(Cindy didn't want to tell them for maximum drama, but I quietly gave them the heads-up anyway. There's no telling what either of them would have done if they didn't get any warning.)

 

RATING: 33

 

 

 

RING OF FAITH BIBLE BELT CHAMPIONSHIP

"The Gold Standard" Manny Floyd vs. Markus "The 'Bama Beast" Kage

 

Both Manny and Markus come up firing early, getting in good offense and pumping the crowd up. It's a pretty fast pace, which does the job in terms of getting the people in the seats involved. They both seem to click really well together, even though I don't think they've wrestled much in the past.

 

The match drags towards the middle. There's not much of a flow to it, which might be expected with two guys who aren't seasoned veterans of the business. The hometown crowd wants to see Markus, who played college ball right up the road in Tuscaloosa, become the first champion. This plays into Manny's hands, as he loves to be the arrogant heel.

 

Markus comes close to pulling off his patented finisher, The 'Bama Bounce, but Manny slips away each time like an agile prize fighter. He catches Markus off-guard and then clobbers him with a right hook. Markus sells like he's just been assassinated. Manny gets the cover and is crowned our first champion.

 

The crowd boos. Few people would have seen that coming. A bad guy first champion in the Bible company?

 

Manny Floyd defeats Markus Kage in 13:30 via Medal-Winning Right Hook to win the ROF Bible Belt Championship

 

RATING: 31

 

 

Deadtective

 

After the dust settles from the title match, the mysterious Deadtective makes his way to the ring. The crowd does not know what to think of a man dressed like a noir mummy.

 

He gets the microphone from Wesley and begins explaining himself. He's the Deadtective, a former private eye who found himself on the wrong side of a gun when investigating the mob back in the '40s. But he was miraculously resurrected and has been working in the shadows ever since. Using his second chance at life, he investigates the dark powers that control our world.

 

Deadtective says he's come to Ring of Faith because he senses a great evil is wanting to destroy it from the inside out. And he has reason to believe that his first opponent in the squared circle tonight, along with his associate, is part of this great plot. By challenging him to a match, Deadtective is going to get closer to the truth.

 

Johnny Moore and Kaylee Steiner

 

Out steps his opponent, Johnny Moore. He's joined by Kaylee Steiner, who I'm praying doesn't do anything too outrageous with her character here. She's supposed to be seductive, but not too over-the-top like... well, she always is in real life. Johnny's job while coming down to the ring is to take cell phone pictures of Steiner, who is posing all over the gym to try to get the best lighting "for Insta."

 

Deadtective quietly stands in the ring, jotting down notes on a pad, while Johnny and Kaylee bark at the "ugly people" to get out of the way so they can get better angles for their shots. Johnny, ever the star of the show, is really good at this.

 

And now, a match between an undead detective and an Instagram couple.

 

RATING: 40

 

 

 

Deadtective vs. Johnny Moore w/Kaylee Steiner

 

Cort, AKA Deadtective, is nothing to write home about in the ring. But he's new to this, and he's gotten the hard part out of the way... he's created a character that people will remember. He's got OK skills but won't screw up often and does a great job of keeping himself and others safe.

 

Johnny has a little more experience and can hit some decent moves. Still, these guys are pure entertainers, and this match was really about establishing who they are in ROF.

 

And Johnny is someone who is obsessed with being the perfect boyfriend for Kaylee. Towards the end of the match, Kaylee finally finds a way to use her feminine... charm?... to distract the reanimated corpse of an old detective. That's long enough for Johnny to take advantage and roll him up for the three count.

 

I hate to say it, but Kaylee was really good in this match. And she didn't do anything obscene!

 

Johnny Moore defeats Deadtective in 7:48 via quick roll-up after a Kaylee Steiner distraction

 

RATING: 24

 

 

 

Kenny Rich, Matt Chase and Tracy Floyd vs. Riptide, T-Bomb and Orlando

 

My first match in Ring of Faith was designed to make the fans happy again after seeing two heels win back-to-back. Alright, that sounded arrogant. Even though Tracy and I were the two more popular guys in this match and the crowd seemed to at least know who we were more than the others, it was about getting the faces a victory.

 

Kenny, who plays country music on the side, wrote and recorded an entrance song for the three of us that got the fans hooting and hollering. He's a little rough around the edges at this point in his career, but that cowboy can brawl quite well. Everyone got around equal offense in this one, and Orlando had a couple of moments to shine with his ability to play to the crowd.

 

In the end, Tracy and I hit a double-team move in order to tag Rich in for his finisher, where he looks like he took T-Bomb's head clean off his shoulders. Score one for the good guys.

 

Kenny Rich, Matt Chase and Tracy Floyd defeated Riptide, T-Bomb and Orlando in 11:55 via Homestead Lariat from Chase

 

RATING: 29

 

 

I didn't have much time to revel in the performance, because I had to make sure things weren't about to go haywire in the next segment.

 

Jack Appleton

 

Jack's music hits. We had to find some sort of Christian rap that he would agree to using, and we eventually settled on "Make War" by Tedashii. It's got a lot of yelling, which he enjoyed.

 

The yelling with the music lasted for a minute or so before he started yelling into the microphone about how he was the "Bulletproof Believer." He had been shot nine times in his life, but he was still here. He neglected to mention how many times he shot back, because he was too focused on his new message... one that showed that he had survived all of those attacks for a reason.

 

That reason, which he eventually got to at the end of his ranting, was to be an instrument of the Lord's punishment on those who do wrong. Bold claim, Jack. He finishes with a half-coherent retelling of Jesus overturning the money changers' tables in the temple, then barks at his opponent to face him in the ring.

 

Well, at least there were no profanities... and the fans at least looked really intrigued with this crazy man.

 

RATING: 41

 

 

"The Bulletproof Believer" Jack Appleton vs. X

 

I should have been even more nervous than I was.

 

Jack and X had worked with each other plenty of times in the past. But those were all in anarchic, anything-goes environments... not a church gymnasium that hosts Upward Basketball games on Saturdays and ladies Bible studies on Tuesdays.

 

They knew there wasn't going to be any blood. They knew there would be any weapons of any kind.

 

So, instead, they beat the living hell out of each other for nearly 10 minutes. By their standards, it was a pillow fight. By a lot of parents in the crowd, it was barbarian warfare.

 

But everything was going relatively OK until Jack found a table. It had a plastic tablecloth over it, like it had been used to serve refreshments at Vacation Bible School just days earlier. Jack threw X on top of it and then looked toward the heavens.

 

...

 

Oh.

 

Ohhhhhhh.

 

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh nooooooooooooo.

 

...

 

The gym had a balcony.

 

I watched in pure horror as Jack made the quick run up the flight of steps, scaled the side, shouted "THIS IS FOR YOU, GRANDMA!" and dove elbow-first to the floor below.

 

X rolled out of the way. Jack went straight through the table. I heard four different women scream. Kids thought he was dead. A bunch of teenagers started jumping around in the aisles.

 

X picked up Jack's lifeless body and rolled him back into the ring. He went to pin him, but Jack kicked out at the last millisecond. The crowd that wasn't still frozen roared. Jack made his way back to his feet and started a comeback...

 

...and that comeback was quickly terminated by X hitting his trademark pop-up powerbomb in the center of the ring. The carnage, thankfully, was over.

 

X defeated Jack Appleton in 9:50 via XXX (Pop-Up Powerbomb)

 

We probably need to change the name of that move at some point.

 

RATING: 28

 

 

Judas Washington vs. Lenny Rhodes

 

Putting Judas Washington in a match immediately after X and Jack went rogue wasn't my best decision. It might have guaranteed that this was the only card I would ever book in my life.

 

But the night was full of surprises.

 

Lenny immediately connected with the crowd. Kids loved his colored hair and bright tights. Older folks could see he was cool without being a tryhard. He was just a walking ball of charisma from Goose Creek, South Carolina.

 

Judas had the slowest walk to the ring I've ever seen. As death metal blared the background... from a Christian band, yes... he trudged like a zombie. When he got in the ring, he just leaned up on the turnbuckle and sat his head back like he was going to fall asleep. A woman near the back turned and asked her husband if this guy was "on drugs."

 

Possibly. Still, he was doing exactly what he was told to do.

 

During the match, Lenny's enthusiasm was a perfect foil to Judas' blank apathy. He expended energy only to counter what Lenny was trying. To his credit, Judas put on a really good performance.

 

The back-and-forth went on for several minutes before Lenny got some good shots in on Judas. That set him off, and it looked like he was going to rage his way into a crushing win over the popular babyface. But Lenny pulled off a nifty reversal of his own, moving that into his finisher and getting the three count. Crowd goes wild.

 

Lenny Rhodes defeated Judas Washington in 5:38 via Rhodes to Nowhere (Springboard Moonsault)

 

RATING: 35

 

 

Lenny Rhodes

 

After the match, Lenny gets the microphone from Wesley and thanks the crowd for supporting him. He talks about how he hadn't been in a church since high school, but he was touched by how welcoming everyone was in the gym tonight. He says that means a lot.

 

Lenny continues by telling the fans that he wants to make them proud by winning the Bible Belt title and taking it off the hands of "that ungrateful loudmouth" Manny Floyd. The crowd cheers.

 

Judas Washington

 

But then, the lights in the gym go out. When they come back on, Judas is standing back in the ring, holding an index finger to the sky.

 

A woman's voice echoes throughout the gym.

 

Voice:

Hello, Lenny. You seem to be talking quite a lot for someone who doesn't know what's coming to him...

 

Lenny Rhodes:

Wh-- Who are you?

 

Voice:

I am... The Siren of The Seven. You have been marked, Lenny Rhodes. We see what you are trying to accomplish, and we are here to end it all... and to make Ring of Faith into our own image. You have met the first of us in the ring. But if you think you are going to come anywhere close to what you want, you will have to go through all seven of us.

 

Lenny Rhodes:

I'm not scared of you. I'm not scared of anyone. Not when I have all these great people behind me.

(crowd cheers)

I am going to defend this company that gave me a chance, and I am going to make sure that it can carry on its mission with pride. So I say... BRING ON THE SEVEN!

 

Voice:

(laughs)

Oh, Lenny. Be very careful what you wish for. We'll see you soon...

 

The lights go back out. When they come back on, Judas is gone. It's just Lenny. He plays to the crowd even more as his music hits again and he exits.

 

Good job, kid. The people love you.

 

RATING: 48

 

 

Papa Estandar

 

Papa Estandar comes out for his first Open Mic Open Challenge. He seems nervous at first, looking like he's still not quite sure if he can pull off the papal comedy gimmick inside a Southern Baptist church.

 

But he's a natural on the mic, and soon he has the church crowd laughing along to his jokes about various Old Testament characters. Some of them are pretty clever, I have to say.

 

Toward the end of his tight five, though, a scowling man pops through the curtain.

 

Teddy Windham

 

Teddy Windham is tired of this nonsense. He comes into the ring and offers to pay Papa Estandar to quit standup comedy, forever. When Estandar asks him how much he's willing to pay, Windham produces a few dollar bills, balls them up and promptly throws them right into Estandar's face.

 

A brawl breaks out! The match is on!

 

RATING: 43

 

 

Papa Estandar vs. Teddy Windham

 

This was a perfectly solid match between a well-trained veteran who knows how to connect to a crowd with his oddball character and a second-generation talent who is still trying to find his voice in the ring.

 

Teddy does a great job of playing the sneering heel, even if his timing is a little off at times with Estandar. The two work through it for a good back-and-forth showcase. Estandar comes close to getting the win on several occasions.

 

The two have a counter fest of pins and reversals until Teddy finally and rather illegally gets the three count by having his feet across the bottom rope.

 

Referee Hunter Moss claims he didn't see anything when the crowd boos at the bell, and Teddy doesn't make things any easier for the zebra by slipping him a dollar bill on the way out of the ring. Something about money and churches.

 

Teddy Windham defeated Papa Estandar in 12:42 via illegal pin

 

RATING: 38

 

 

RING OF FAITH BOND OF BROTHERHOOD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Daniel Azaria and Curtis Windham vs. The Street Survivors (Duane Davies and Rick E. Waters)

 

Alright, time to learn a valuable booking lesson.

 

When you've got a crowd that has quite a few kids in it and you've already gotten everybody worn out with the balcony dive and the lights-out promo, don't make your main event too long.

 

These two teams would make for a great indy tag main event pretty much anywhere, especially in the South. This is where Daniel and Curtis currently work, and The Street Survivors are basically tag team royalty down here.

 

So, by most wrestling fans' standards, this was a fine way to end the show. But we started losing this particular crowd for a long stretch in the middle. Maybe the slow-building, back-and-forth tag team showcase wasn't the best way to wrap things up. It didn't help matters that Curtis seemed a little off his game, either.

 

The crowd snapped back to life in the final moments, seeing that we were approaching the top of the hour and the show just had to be over soon. Duane slingshot Daniel over for Rick's finisher and took home yet another set of belts in their illustrious careers.

 

The Street Survivors defeated Daniel Azaria and Curtis Windham in 18:31 via Rick E. Waters' Hardest Knock of Them All (Diving Spear) to win the ROF Bond of Brotherhood Titles

 

RATING: 41

 

 

The crowd cheered The Street Survivors, who slapped hands with everybody as they went to the back. Wesley Johnson quickly brought things to a close before handing the microphone to the church's lead pastor, who thanked everyone for coming and made a joke about replacing the table that Jack broke. Or, at least, I hoped he was joking.

 

Then he mentioned that church staff members would be down front, among the wrestlers signing autographs and selling merch, to pray with anyone who wanted it.

 

Although the show went off well and didn't have too many incidents... I had the feeling I might need that prayer before too long.

Against our better judgment, Julie and I decided to work for Cindy again. She said it was going to be called "Ring of Faith," even though that was the cheesiest thing ever. Churches nowadays are calling themselves things like "The Brook" and "Water Point," so why lean heavily on the old Christian bookstore aesthetic?</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

But she had already set up the LLC. Ring of Faith it is.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

We spent the next two months brainstorming and trying to come up with a roster for our first show, which she wanted to run here in town in late July.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

I laid out some ground rules. We weren't going to be actually preaching up there. A lot of these church events are simple: The entertainment gets the folks in the doors, then the ministers do the soul-saving work. Our product could point to positive and even some spiritual things like Cindy wanted, but I'm not gonna book a guy named Jesus to fight Satan.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

But that doesn't mean the product wouldn't be pretty straightforward. This is a church crowd. There will be lots of kids and lots of adults who don't want the kids to see anything too violent, too crass or even remotely sexual. Good guys versus bad guys. I figured, with what we were doing at our size, we could get away with just one big story that moves everything else along. Cindy was right, this should be pretty easy... at least in the ring.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Cindy was going to handle all the financials and give me total creative control. I wanted her to play a certain role in a storyline, which she was fine with doing. But most of her work, she said, was going to be behind the scenes. Fine by me.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

There were some... issues... in coming up with the roster. She had burned a ton of bridges with people I knew, and "Deathmatches for Jesus" wasn't going to get a lot of traction with churches down here.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

But my bigger problems might have been with who she said we absolutely had to hire.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The first was Patrick, AKA X. That one was OK. He's a wild man in and out of the ring, but we always got along. And it was going to be very easy to figure out what his role would be in our production.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Then there was Spencer Weegar, who you might know as Judas Washington. He was Cindy's most loyal soldier, even more so than X, back in the ECXW days. I think he tried to actually murder some SUX guys at one point. He's barely been booked since ECXW went down, and he's been in trouble with the law more times than I can count. </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

But Cindy insisted, adding the inarguable point that his name is literally Judas. Another easy to book character. Cindy got deals done with X and Judas on her own.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The one that really got me, and the one that I knew was coming, was Kaylee. Kaylee Steiner is Cindy's not-that-much-younger-than-her niece. She was a living, breathing, conniving nightmare. She had some sort of history with every single male member of the ECXW roster.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Cindy said Kaylee wouldn't agree to join the roster when they talked. Instead of taking that as a closed door, Cindy insisted that I called Kaylee to convince her to join. She mentioned that Kaylee always had a thing for me, which is utterly terrifying. I was not looking forward to this phone call.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Adam Sullivan was wanting to get back in the business, so he would be our road agent.

And that was the crew that would be at Ring of Faith's first show.

[Ring of Faith: Austin 3:16 (A ThunderVerse Story)]

Chapter 1: The Feeding of the One Skeptic (April 2021)

 

 

Monday, Week 1, April 2021

Chick-fil-A

The Shoppes at East Chase

Montgomery, AL

 

"Why are we here, Cindy?"

 

"I've always thought people like us were supposed to go here. It's, like, their whole thing, right?"

 

Cindy Austin

 

People like us.

The rumors about Cindy Austin were true, or so it seemed. After spending most of her adult life running an empire of South Florida strip clubs and the most infamous garbage wrestling promotion in North America, Cindy Austin had found Jesus.

 

She had left her old life behind. Those who followed her now-private Instagram account said she started posting Bible verses daily. Some in the business swore they heard she became a nun. Others say they saw video of her as a snake-handling preacher. (Although that one might have been a case of some really bad innuendo.)

 

Most people thought it was just a setup for her next scam.

 

I had heard all of those stories, and a lot more, over the last few years. Anyone who was ever in Cindy's orbit at East Coast Xtreme Wrestling would get told these things at virtually any indy show. They would always ask if you had heard from her recently, and you would always shake your head no.

 

But I can't do that anymore. A few days ago, I got a direct message on Twitter from Cindy's account. She said she had been contacting a bunch of people from her past and wanted to see me face-to-face.

I hadn't been back to Miami in a while, not since the injury. Three years ago, my neck got jacked up on a botched piledriver at a show in Orlando. It took me almost two whole years to get back to working, but I was determined not to give up. I was on the doorstep of challenging for the AWC World's Heavyweight title during a great run in Bluegrass Championship Wrestling up in Kentucky, and I wanted to get back to that point.

 

About that.

 

The only exception to my long time away from Miami was last spring, when my father died. He was a reverse snowbird, spending his early years preaching at tent revivals on the beach and then later making his way up north, teaching seminary classes in Louisville. Part of the reason I enjoyed working at BCW was being close to Dad. Even though when I knew he was getting sick that the ending was inevitable, it still stuck with me for a while. It still does.

 

I told Cindy that I was long gone from Miami and was actually living in Alabama. Julie was an Air Force kid, and her father recently retired after a long stint at the Maxwell Air Base in Montgomery. The Detroit native didn't want to experience any more cold winters in his life, so he and his wife stayed put.

 

Living in The Gump, as some people call it, isn't bad at all. Cost of living is low, and it's sort of a central hub for the Southern indy scene. You can take I-85 up to Atlanta or run I-65 north to Birmingham, Huntsville or all the way to any NCW shows in Nashville that might need you for dark matches. Go further, and you're back in Kentucky for BCW. Going south gets you to Mobile, and from there, you can take I-10 toward New Orleans and Texas or make the journey back across the Florida panhandle.

 

I thought it was far enough away from Miami. You can't fly directly from there to Montgomery, and no one really knows just how tall Florida is until they try to drive from South Beach all the way to the Georgia line.

 

But Cindy said she'd come to me. I don't know why. I've been talking with her for a half-hour and I still don't know why. If she was going around asking for forgiveness for her many EXCW sins, she didn't need to go to me.

 

Although I didn't fit the overall vibe there, it was easy money and never, ever boring. I'm not the type that gets offended easily. And, in some weird way, working for that place made me a better and smarter worker.

 

So here she was, picking at a grilled chicken salad after watching me demolish two sandwiches and a large order of waffle fries. (Although we don't have kids, I'm fine with leaning into the dad bod these days.) I spun the straw inside my peach milkshake with my fingers, like I was fishing for answers. But did I really want them?

 

"Yeah, that's what they say about this place. But, I mean, why are we meeting? It's been four years since the last time I saw you. Are you finally giving me the check for that last show?"

 

She sighed.

"No, Matt."

She looked up with a smirk I had seen way too many times in Miami.

"But I have something much more than that to offer you."

 

Uh oh. I probably should have told Julie I was going to see Cindy. I don't think they ended on bad terms, but I never heard her talking about ECXW, ever. Cindy probably wouldn't make a move in a crowded fast food restaurant, would she?

 

Well, this was the same woman who once flashed a live news broadcast and got one of her wrestlers to interrupt a playoff baseball game with a full-on assault. Nothing is really off the table here.

 

"Uhh..."

 

"No, no, no. Not anything like that. I'm still technically a married woman. I think. No, it's nothing bad. This is very good, actually. I assume you've heard about where I've been the last few years."

 

"Actually, I've heard so much that I don't know what is actually tr---."

 

Before I could finish, Cindy immediately launched into what had happened over the last four years of her life. There were laughs. There were tears. There were way-too-detailed descriptions of various illegal activities. There were several parents inside this Chick-fil-A covering their children's ears.

 

An extremely long story short, Cindy lost almost all of her money after ECXW went down. She tried to get control of the gentlemen's clubs back, but the group that had taken them over when she concentrated her efforts on wrestling wouldn't budge. She still tried to party with the best of them, but those drug-and-booze-filled nights weren't hitting quite like they once did.

 

At a very low moment inside a Motel 6 somewhere near Fort Lauderdale, Cindy opened a Gideon Bible that fell out of the nightstand she knocked over. She said it read it and prayed until sunrise, not completely sure if she was doing either correctly. A couple of hours later, she walked to the nearest church she could find and unloaded her life story on some poor pastor in a mix of guilt, shame and exhaustion.

 

"As soon as I walked out of there, I knew I was different. And I am. I've spent the last few years trying to clean myself up. I've been volunteering at homeless shelters. I go church several times a week, every single week. I even went on a mission trip to Haiti."

 

"They let you out of the country?"

 

"Matt, this is serious. I know most people don't think it is. But I feel like I've got a purpose now, you know? And I need to do that for a living. I don't have much money left. I'm too old to go back to school, and I ain't going back to the clubs again."

 

"So..."

 

"So... that brings me to wrestling. It's the only other thing I know. I want to get back into the business."

 

"Cindy, I'm just trying to make it myself. Julie and I haven't been signed anywhere. I wish I could help you, but--"

 

"But nothing. Don't worry about that. I've got $75,000 left from my old days. I want to do something positive with it... I'm going to start my own wrestling company. Again."

 

God help us all.

 

"OK, so we've got what, Deathmatches for Jesus?

 

"Ugh. Not exactly. Here's what I'm thinking. Since I've been at church, I've noticed how many times they do these special events to get a bunch of people who ain't got time for church to come on in. Rock concerts, magicians, stand-up comedians, that team of traveling powerlifters for the Lord..."

 

"There are actually a few of those around, somehow."

 

"So I thought to myself, why ain't anybody bringing wrestling to church? The business is picking up again. Sure, Allman's a dick... wait, can I still say that?... but PWI is printing money. That women's company is the hottest thing on the planet. There's Mexican wrestling on TV all the time, especially down here. Nerds can watch all the Japanese stuff online. There are new companies popping up all over the place. There's even one where guys dress up like stuffed monsters or anime characters."

 

"Yeah, it's interesting how the whole wrestling world kind of hit that reset button out of nowhere."

 

"It's fate, ain't it? There's so much I did in the wrestling business that makes me shudder when I think about it today. Really. I want to make things right. No more blood and boobs. I want the wrestling I put on to be more like Bible verses and... something else that starts with a B. Give me a minute."

 

"Alright, before you spend the rest of your day thinking of another b word, I have to ask: Why are you telling me this? We weren't that close in Miami."

 

"Because, Matt. I knew you were different back then. You weren't one of those holy rollers, sure. But I noticed those Jesus tattoos. I knew you didn't go party with us after shows or get in parking lot fights with the SUX crowd. You were a good guy. The boys respected you. The girls loved you. And I want to work with people like that. Plus, Patrick told me your daddy was a preacher. I need somebody like you. I'm a rookie to all of this!"

 

Patrick was X, the man who assaulted that baseball player over a decade ago. He's turned into something of any indy star as a Viking raider character since ECXW went down. But he's still really close with Cindy. Or so I've heard.

 

"Yeah, he was. But I'm not my dad. I'm not a preacher. That wasn't the life for me. I'm just a wrestler."

 

"I'm not asking you to preach, and I'm asking you to be more than just a wrestler. I want you to be my booker."

 

"Are you serious? I've never done that before. And I know you know plenty of guys who have. Just ask one of them."

 

"But they're not the guys I want running this. You know church stuff. You know wrestling. You're one of the only people in this business who's still married to his first wife. How is Julie, by the way?"

 

"We're doing alright. I don't know how much longer that will last after I tell her we talked."

 

"She was a good kid, too. I want her to be a part of this."

 

This was insane, right? But what am I doing still sitting here?

 

"Cindy, we're not moving back to Florida. She helps take care of her parents here. We like the stability."

 

"That's fine. I'll start it right here. There's a church on every dang corner. We're in the buckle of the Bible Belt. You said it yourself, you can get to a lot of places from here."

 

Wait, is she reading my thoughts now? Did I actually say that out loud? The milkshake I was asking all these questions to silently was unresponsive.

 

"Listen, Cindy..."

 

"Look, I know this is out of nowhere. But I can give you and your lovely wife some steady work. We can take this to countless places around here. Church wrestling is so easy, I can't believe no one else has done it yet. We start out running a show a month, then go from there. I'm telling you, I feel it in my heart. I feel it in my soul. I need to do this. Right now."

 

I sighed. We could use the money. I hadn't been horrible since coming back from the injury, but that title shot didn't seem like it was going to be on the cards any time soon. And Julie she was already talking about retiring from in-ring work and managing full-time.

 

But I didn't know if I could trust Cindy. Sure, she was saying all the right things. A lot of this added up. I've heard plenty of testimonies of people seeing the light after doing stuff that was, somehow, even worse than what Cindy did in Florida.

 

Still, I've heard her lie much more than tell the truth. If she wasn't the least reliable human in wrestling, she at least would be a close second. It's a tough competition. Who decided that everybody in charge of wrestling companies should suck, anyway?

 

Maybe that was the old Cindy. Maybe that was pre-Motel 6 Cindy. And who am I to judge? I always hated when church people did that. After all, Jesus spent most of his time around the outcasts and screwups.

 

And here I am, talking myself into believing one of the biggest screwups I know.

 

"Well... can I at least talk to Julie about it and call you later this week?"

 

"Absolutely. And you tell her she'll get paid as just as much as you will in this."

She stood and picked up her barely eaten salad.

"I can't believe I paid nine dollars for this. Christians really know how to get your money."

 

I got up and made my way toward the exit.

"So... how long are you going to be in town?"

 

"Not long. I've got to be in Atlanta early in the morning. For now, I'm going to that Chili's down the street and get a margarita as big as my head, because this is cause for celebration."

 

"Hold on, I haven't said yes yet. And I thought you were..."

 

"Oh, no, honey. I just stopped all the smoking and the pills. And Jesus turned water into wine, right?"

 

"Well, you got me there. Either way, you'll get no judgment from me."

 

She turned to me and winked, then threw up her hand to wave goodbye as she walked toward a car with an absolutely obnoxious paint job.

 

"That's what I like to hear, Matt. No judgment."
