WASA: Why No One Cares About Wrestling in South Africa


Recommended Posts

First Round

Landon Mallory vs. Kashmir Singh

Golden Boy must do well

 

Finbarr McNamara vs. Daniel Jones

SQUASH

 

Doctor Insane vs. Kalu Owusu

Nice character

 

Scott Van Den Berg vs. Pablo Rodriguez

Like the idea of a Dutchman down there. Afrikaans language issues?

 

The Shooters vs. Nigerian Hit Squad vs. The Tribe: WASA World Tag Team titles

Monsters in a Comradebot diary? And African too? This could be great

 

Semi-Finals

Mallory vs. Jones

Doc Insane vs. Rodriguez

 

Finals

Mallory vs. Doc Insane: WASA World Heavyweight title

 

Obviously shenanigans would have to account for Jones but a face champ makes more sense to me with the Big Game Hunter hunting him (and a supervillain thrown in of course)

First Round

Landon Mallory vs. Kashmir Singh

Greater star power.

 

Finbarr McNamara vs. Daniel Jones

Because he's a hige monster.

 

Doctor Insane vs. Kalu Owusu

Because he's older, less talented and has a more interesting character.

 

Scott Van Den Berg vs. Pablo Rodriguez

Because he's more over, and generally better.

 

The Shooters vs. Nigerian Hit Squad vs. The Tribe: WASA World Tag Team titles

Because They're badass, and The Shooters can also deliver in singles competition at a top level.

 

Semi-Finals

Mallory vs. Jones

Because he's a monster heel, duh.

 

Doc Insane vs. Rodriguez

Because DI isn't actually good enough to make it to the finals.

 

Finals

Jones vs. Rodriguez: WASA World Heavyweight title

Because he's the most talented of the two, and a face win gives the crowd something to go home happy with.

Loving how colourful this one is already... feel the urge to point out that you have Billy Robinson on the United Kingdom's flag instead of an English flag... :p

Fully aware, but let's be honest: everyone thinks of the Union Jack when they think of England. Not to mention it simply looks cooler than the English flag. Be happy I love the look of the Scottish flag enough not to just give yall the UK's also. :p

I'm not patriotic enough to care... you could put them both on an Azerbaijan flag and I'd be happy. In fact, if they both don't repatriate to Azerbaijan within 6 months of this diary I'm not gonna be pleased. :p

Such a wonderful clash of the nations...I can't wait for this one, Comrade. Will be too busy to consistently predict and whatnot, but I will be following the action intently, vuvuzuela blaring the whole way.

First Round

Landon Mallory vs. Kashmir Singh

Landon Mallory was a huge star in my long-term EWA game and I expect big things from him here as well.

 

Finbarr McNamara vs. Daniel Jones

Daniel Jones is the perfect monster heel that needs to be built up well early. Plus Finbarr seems to have the underdog role down - if Jones defeats McNamara here, they both win (at least character-wise).

 

Doctor Insane vs. Kalu Owusu

Just to balance the faces and heels in round two. Plus I think with your style of writing, the evil Doctor could be a lot more fun to write for than Kalu.

 

Scott Van Den Berg vs. Pablo Rodriguez

Pablo is a much bigger name than the resident Dutchboy.

 

The Shooters vs. Nigerian Hit Squad vs. The Tribe: WASA World Tag Team titles

Just a hunch.

 

Semi-Finals

Mallory OR Singh vs. McNamara OR Jones

Setting up for a huge heel versus face encounter in the final.

 

Doc Insane OR Owusu vs. Van Den Berg OR Rodriguez

Again, Rodriguez is the name here.

 

Finals

Mallory OR Singh OR McNamara OR Jones vs. Doc Insane OR Owusu OR Van Den Berg OR Rodriguez: WASA World Heavyweight title

I think Jones is still a great asset without the belt while Rodriguez can actually wrestle (unlike the former Mr. Ewe).

WASA Cape Town Showdown 2010

From Buffalo Hall in Buffalo City, Eastern Cape

1000 In Attendance

 

Announcers

Salty Larry & Tara Green

 

Salty Larry: Ladies and gentlemen, I be welcomin’ ya to the first ever WASA event! By Neptune’s beard we’re in for a heck of a show, right Tara?

 

Tara Green: Larry, it’s truly an honor to be apart of this historic event, the first major wrestling show South Africa’s seen since Beatlemania swept the globe!

 

Salty Larry: Aye, it truly be an island of paradise amidst the cold, briny depths of wrestling in the South Seas! Now we wait patiently to officially set sail in the uncharted waters of South African wrestling, with WASA owner Ken Flanagan set to give his inaugural address any moment.

 

 

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d12/JodoKastTRL/WASA/KenFlanagan.jpg

 

 

From behind the WASA entry tarp, to a chorus of applause, emerges Ken Flanagan, the savior of South African wrestling! Overwhelmed by the thousand strong packed into the poorly lit arena, it appears Flanagan can’t help but to marvel at the sight. And then marvel some more.

 

And then a little bit longer.

 

Roughly five minutes longer, to be exact, during which time (likely due to the strain of looking into the audience through the dim lighting) it’s become noticeable that Flanagan is suffering from incredibly bloodshot eyes. Finally, Ken Flanagan snaps from his emotionally-induced stupor and makes his way to the ring, tripping on the ropes and stumbling (again, most certainly distracted by the sheer awesomeness of this historic moment) before finally bringing a microphone to his lips.

 

Ken Flanagan: Wow folks, just *sniff* wow. This is… like… *sniff* woooooaah, you know? I feel like *sniff* like *sniff* like we could … could… *sniff* TAKE ON THE WORLD!!! YEAH!!! They said “Flanagan, you don’t have what it takes.” Then they said, “South Africa, you don’t have what it takes.” So, *sniff* I punched them in the throat, made a joke about their mum, and told em’ we’re gonna do it anyways! *sniff* And if they don’t like it, then the English can kiss my…

 

*slap on the backside*

 

… fat…

 

*second slap*

 

… Welsh…

 

*third slap*

 

… ass! So sit back, relax *sniff*, and enjoy the… the… *sniff* what’s the ****ing word? Shi-… Sho-… *mumbles something that kinda sounds like “talking rooster”*… whatever, enjoy! Hell, I’ll go enjoy it with all of you South Africans paying me money to see this cra-… crazy show… *sniff*

 

 

With an effort that has only marginally less “tripping on the ropes” than that which brought him into the ring, Ken Flanagan exits and “gallantly strolls” his way to the announcer’s table at ringside.

Landon Mallory vs. Kashmir Singh w/Minh Ruby

After prancing about in a robe playing to the crowd for what might as well been an eternity, Kashmir Singh finally turned to a clearly unimpressed Landon Mallory to offer a handshake… which is followed by the kicking off of WASA action with a quick kick to the gut from Singh! Singh retained the majority of the offense early on, using cheap tactics (enough to get his second warning from the ref!) to stall Mallory’s momentum. Looking to finally finish the match, Singh went up to the top rope after a suplex, taking extra time to signal for the Bombay Duck… and it costs him, as Mallory rolls out of the way leaving Singh to only eat the canvas! Mallory stalks Singh as he stumbles to his feet and… collides with a MASSIVE Springbok Ram (a high impact spear), leading to an easy three count!

 

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Landon Mallory defeated Kashmir Singh in 11:46 by pinfall with a Springbok Ram. Landon Mallory advances in the tournament.

Finbarr McNamara vs. Daniel Jones w/Padre Carrasco

Once Ken Flanagan ended his curse-laden tirade over how amazing the previous match was, we get underway with “David vs. Golith 2011” as the diminutive Finbarr McNamara took on the gargantuan Daniel Jones. McNamara danced like a butterfly and stung like a bee, while “The Big Game Hunter” both danced and stung like a bull elephant seal. Additionally, bee stings do little to phase elephant seals. Cause of the all the blubber (or muscle, in Jones’s case). Unable to do much more than pepper his opponent with small strikes, McNamara seemed unable to even harm Jones around the rime Daniel’s boot met McNamara’s face. A few big power moves later, and Daniel Jones finished McNamara with a ring-shaking Double Handed Choke Bomb.

 

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Daniel Jones defeated Finbarr McNamara in 10:19 by pinfall with a Double Handed Choke Bomb.

D-

 

 

 

 

Victory already in hand, Daniel Jones peers down all seven foot of himself at the battered, bruised, and only semi-conscious Finbarr McNamara. With relative ease, he grabs him around the neck by both hands, lifts him into the air… and hits a second devastating Double Handed Choke Bomb!!!

 

Salty Larry: Salty seahorses, what manner of treachery is this!!!

 

Slow, heavy stomps repeatedly crush McNamara’s torso as a swarm of security rush past the WASA entry tarp, hurdling towards the ring. Casually, Padre Carrasco opens his briefcase, retrieving a paper and holding it before the stampede of staff heading towards the ring… and stopping them in their tracks! He points first at the document, and then back towards Ken Flanagan at the announcer’s table. With a shrug, they all turn around, and dejectedly walk back out of the arena, the last staff member vanishing behind the tarp around the same time Daniel Jones uses one hand to send McNamara sailing into the laps of the front row!

 

Salty Larry: A red sun be risin’ tomorrow over the Atlantic, as blood has been spilled here in WASA!

 

Tara Green: And what was that document in that beautiful, tanned hand of his? Why did he point at Mr. Flanagan?

 

Ken Flanagan: HAHAHAHA, the little guy got sent into the front row!

D+

 

 

 

 

And now, we head into the recesses of madness… a world of shadows, test tubes, and Tesla coils humming in the background.

 

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d12/JodoKastTRL/WASA/DrInsane.jpg

 

Doctor Insane: BEHOLD… your future RULER OF WASA!!!! For those who do not already fear hushed whispers of my very name, allow me to introduce myself. I am your intellectual superior… I am the man that destroyed the Ultimate Combat Ring with a plan to insidious, so ingenious, that simpler minds would explode upon hearing its very details!!!

 

He lift a tape recorder from the cold, steel table before him.

 

Doctor Insane: *whispering* Note to self: inform simpletons the details of Project UCRmageddon to make their heads explode.

 

The tape recorder returns to the table.

 

Doctor Insane: I am the Sultan of Science, the Prince of Pathology, the Master of Mayhem, Malady, and Matter… the one, the only…. DOCTOR INSANE!!!!! And the fools, they thought me gone, destroyed along with UCR from my own genius experiment!!! Oh, but how they will rue this day, how you will ALL rue this day!!! The day, Doctor Insane returned in the name of SCIENCE!!!! MwahahahahahaHA!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

The “good” Doctor continues his maniacal laughter, even while his opponent is already making his way to the ring.

Doctor Insane vs. Kalu Owusu

Seemingly unperturbed by the diabolical ramblings of a mad man, Kalu Owusu immediately went on the offensive. But the fool, he fell right into the carefully orchestrated trap!!! The Doctor’s master plan worked perfectly, as after Owusu had tired himself with hitting moves, he was left vulnerable to a single quick counter (with an unidentified substance in a syringe, which the ref didn’t see) when his confidence grew too great. On the mat, Owusu was defenseless as Doctor Insane locked in The Pain Experiment, a submission move so horrendously painful that even describing what it is could cause severe rectal hemorrhaging. Owusu tapped out and, happy to make him part of the control group, Doctor Insane relinquished his horrifying hold.

 

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Doctor Insane defeated Kalu Owusu in 9:55 by submission with The Pain Experiment after blatantly cheating.

Scott Van Den Berg vs. Pablo Rodriguez

The early match went back and forth, with neither man getting the upper hand. Van Den Berg threw simple strikes, trying to knock the speedy Rodriguez off balance as he darted around, trying to use speed and momentum to get the big man off his feet. Scott finally won out, “clipping Pablo’s wings” and was soon unloading with big, devastating power moves as he looked to finish the fight. With a statement in mind, Van Den Berg even climbed to the second turnbuckle… but with a second wind Pablo caught him with a jumping dropkick!!! SVDB slumped back on the turnbuckle, perfectly set up for the Sinner’s Salvation (a turnbuckle aided hurricanrana) that lead to his defeat!

 

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Pablo Rodriguez defeated Scott Van Den Berg in 10:13 by pinfall with a Sinner's Salvation.

While “Unleash The Dragon” by Sisqo (you know, that one hit wonder with the “Thong Song”) drums in the background, Landon Mallory is drumming up some muscle with his own instrument, a dumb bell, in the foreground. A smirk crosses his lips as his watches the weight rise up a down.

 

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d12/JodoKastTRL/WASA/LandonMallory.jpg

 

Landon Mallory: Yeah, I know I got that big, in only two ways, hater Daniel Jones next in the tournament. But I have to ask everyone here tonight, please: show some respect. I am “The Platinum Standard” Landon Mallory, the prototype alchemist stone to turn our nation’s wrestling rags into wrestling riches. And you know what?

 

Dumb bell rises. Muscle flexes.

 

Landon Mallory: Daniel Jones, as tall as you are you STILL aren’t up to The Standard. You’re old, you’re tarnished, and even when you weren’t you were, I dunno… a lump of coal. Santa Claus leaves big, old lumps of coal in naughty people’s stockings, that’s just basic Geology. Shame he saw what you did to poor Finbarr, but he isn’t going to see it happen to me. Cause Jones, there is nothing you can muster…

 

He drops the weigh, instantly deploying a flex.

 

Landon Mallory: … that can dull my luster.

The Shooters vs. Nigerian Hit Squad vs. The Tribe: WASA World Tag Team titles

A man from each team started in the ring, and immediately Rhys Vali and Billy Robinson targeted, well… one of the Lawals. They’re sorta identical twins, and the best guess is that it was Rahabad. Thanks to some teamwork from The Tribe, a recently tagged in Gob Narfi managed to dropkick Rahabad out of the ring… and then found himself outmatched one on one against Billy Robinson, who eventually locked in an eliminating Capital City Crucifix while the Lawals took their time getting back in on the action! Immediately, Rahabad charged back in, planting Billy Robinson. Eventually, a desperation move resulted in a crawling race to the corners… and both with the hot tag! Don Henderson was quickly outpowered, and a HUGE Dominator later and he was helpless to stop the pinfall!!!

 

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Nigerian Hit Squad defeated The Shooters and The Tribe in 15:39; the order of elimination was The Tribe first, and finally The Shooters. Nigerian Hit Squad win the WASA World Tag Team titles.

D

 

 

 

 

 

As The Shooters limp from the ring, the Nigerian Hit Squad are immediately awarded the WASA World Tag Team titles!!! The both slump a belt over their shoulder and glare back and forth across the audience.

 

Salty Larry: I can’t believe I’m seeing this, but for the first time in who knows how long, a pair of wrestlers in South Africa are holding championship gold!

 

NHS continue to, well… stand around… not smiling… or really showing any emotion at all, despite their huge win. An almost palpable tension begins to fill the arena as the crowd’s excitement dies into a wallowing silence, the Nigerian Hit Squad still just glaring back at them. Finally, some reluctant staff members manage to cautiously coax them out of the ring so the night can continue.

Landon Mallory vs. Daniel Jones

Jones tried to drop Mallory with a single, clubbing blow, but found “The Platinum Standard” a little less malleable than his previous opponent. Not afraid of a slugfest, Landon took the shot and fire back with some of his own until a full-blown brawl erupted in the ring. Mallory used his athleticism to prevent Jones from cornering him, while the big man simply absorbed whatever punishment Mallory could dish out. Mallory finally seemed to get Jones off balance, charged in for the Springbok Ram… and was countered with a HUGE flapjack that send Mallory practically into the rafters!!! Still stunned when he reached his feet, Mallory had no hope of countering the bone cracking Double Handed Choke Bomb, or kicking out of the pinfall.

 

In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Daniel Jones defeated Landon Mallory in 9:31 by pinfall with a Double Handed Choke Bomb.

Doctor Insane vs. Pablo Rodriguez

A classic battle of good versus evil, as the (evilly) lanky Doctor Insane grappled with Pablo Rodriguez. Using his long reach to keep Rodriguez grounded, the battle soon descended into a rather impressive displaying of chain wrestling, with both men going hold and counter hold with each other. Doctor Insane whipped Pablo into the turnbuckle… but Rodriguez ducked to the side, leaving Insane to crash into the corner, followed by a rope-aided backflip kick to his jaw to stun him! Dazed, Doctor Insane couldn’t come up with a hypothesis on how to prevent Pablo Rodriguez from lifting him onto the turnbuckle, saying a prayer, and then sending him hurdling to the mat with a Sinner’s Salvation for the win!

 

In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Pablo Rodriguez defeated Doctor Insane in 16:22 by pinfall with a Sinner's Salvation.

C-

 

 

 

 

 

Pablo Rodriguez looks back down at the defeated Doctor Insane before kneeling at his side and making a cross in the air above his body.

 

Pablo Rodriguez: Vaya con Dios…

 

He rises back to his feet, requesting a microphone from ringside.

 

Pablo Rodriguez: South Africa, I come to your land as nothing more than a humble servant of our Lord Jesus Christ, to spread his word while I bless the very rings in which I wrestle. Proverbs 3:33: The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just. Make no mistake, the wicked are in our house, and a curse upon it shall lay if not for the efforts of the righteous. Let us bow our heads in prayer, so that God may fill WASA with his glory… oh Father…

 

Before Pablo Rodriguez can continue to hold Mass in the middle of a wrestling event, the sounds of slow, cold guitar drifts through the arena. The building begins to tremble and creak with every rumbling roll of thunder… more devout members of the audience begin to flood to the steps, for clearly Judgment Day has arrived.

 

Or, it could just be that Daniel Jones is lumbering to the ring, Padre Carrasco next to him with a microphone and briefcase in hand.

 

 

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d12/JodoKastTRL/WASA/DanielJones.jpghttp://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d12/JodoKastTRL/WASA/PadreCarrasco.jpg

 

 

Padre Carrasco: Pablo, Pablo, Pablo… let me give you some advice, Padre to… well… Padre. I respect your faith and all that, but there’s a higher power at work here than your God. I am, of course, talking about *he reaches back into the briefcase, pulling out a piece of paper* a signed contract! This here in my hand is my client, Daniel Jones, is his WASA Hunting License. In this delightful, legally-bound, document it states that Mr. Jones has the right to target whatever or whomever he pleases without fear of reprisal either legally or from the WASA.

 

Padre, followed shortly by Jones over the top rope, pauses briefly as he makes his way into the ring.

 

Pablo Rodriguez: I have the strength of the Lord on my side, my son, so if your goal was to threaten me...

 

Padre Carrasco: Threaten?! Senor, that is slander! I was just, without charging you for consultation no less, advising you that given Mr. Jones’s legal rights it may be easier for all of us to just let him add the WASA World Heavyweight title to his trophy room without any unnecessary violence. They don’t call this big hombre the “Big Game Hunter” for no reason and, well… it’d just be a shame to see him wasting his time hunting a man of God when he could be after other game. So how about this: you just go ahead and forfeit the match, give the belt to Mr. Jones, and we can all walk out of this arena a lot happier. *He reaches his hand out to Pablo Rodriguez* Deal?

 

Closing his eyes, Pablo bows his head and raises his hands in a moment of prayer.

 

Pablo Rodriguez: The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

 

In a flash, Pablo Rodriguez bounds into the air, his feet reaching nearly all seven of Daniel Jones’s feet before connecting with a sky high dropkick to start the match!

Daniel Jones vs. Pablo Rodriguez: WASA World Heavyweight title

Rodriguez ducks a shot, and fires back with even more dropkicks. With a dazzling array of speed and athleticism, Pablo Rodriguez rockets around the ring, keeping his far larger opponent mostly off balance as Jones struggles to mount almost any form of offense. Alas, an ill-fated attempt at a springboard crossbody results in Pablo simply getting caught out of the air by Jones, who promptly spikes him into the ground. Right where he wants him, Daniel starts to obliterate Rodriguez with big move after big move… and grins with malicious intent as Padre Carrasco jumps onto the apron and distracts the referee.

 

Moving “quickly” (even at his fastest, Daniel Jones is pretty glacial), Jones heads over to the turnbuckle… and with one mighty yank RIPS the padding right off of it!!! With one hand, he flings Pablo back-first into it, as Padre yells for Jones to finish it! Jones “charges” forward, picking up a level of speed only seen in the most Olympian of tortoises… and Rodriguez ducks to the side out of the way, leaving Jones to crash chest first into the exposed steel! He stumbles back with the wind knocked out of him… and his momentum sends him into a school boy roll-up from Rodriguez!!!

In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Pablo Rodriguez defeated Daniel Jones in 15:45 by pinfall with a roll up. Pablo Rodriguez wins the WASA World Heavyweight title.

A look of shock and joy emblazoned on his face, Pablo Rodriguez leaps to his feet as confetti rains down from the rafters.

 

Salty Larry: Whimsical walruses, Pablo Rodriguez has done it! He’s the man responsible for sendin’ the world champion drought in South Africa back down into Davy Jones’s locker!

 

Ken Flanagan: Who’s Davy Jones? He related to *sniff* Daniel Jones, what did I miss?

 

Rodriguez is handed the WASA World Heavyweight title from ringside, raising it high for all of South Africa to see! Finally taking some control over his overwhelming pride, Pablo gently lays the belt in center ring before dropping to his knees next to it. He does a brief prayer over the simple gold strap, and raises his eyes to the heavens…

And they never see the professionally precision kick right to the back of his head from a man who leapt the ringside barricade!!! The newly-crowned WASA champion is knocked half-cold as two other men slide into the ring, aiding the first in the brutal assault!

Helpless, Pablo can do nothing but weather the storm of kicks and stomps as a fourth man slowly strolls through the entry tarp…

...the three in the ring looking to him as he signals for the first man to pull Pablo back to his feet… only to meet a viscous flurry of precision kicks from the second man!!! “The Priest of Pain” hits the mat IN pain stomach first, with any hope of a respite quickly dashed as the third assailant quickly applies a high-angle Camel Clutch!

 

Ken Flanagan: What in the blue- *sniff*?! Who are these sucker-punching ****suckers, and what are they doing to my company’s champion!!!???

 

Still locked in the Camel Clutch, Rodriguez receives the coup de grace: a final viscous kick right to the face from the first man to attack him! The hold is relinquished as an unmoving Pablo Rodriguez is left limp next to his belt, while the man in the entryway calls his allies back. Together, and unceremoniously, they stroll out of the arena.

Well, there we go, the first WASA event EVER! Little bit longer than I like, but... had to make the show long enough to fit in an eight man tournament.

 

 

 

And then had a little too much room, forgot that Daniel Jones is completely incapable of working long matches (and made him do so anyways at the end!)... and that's why we have the tag team title match on THIS show, hehe. That, and still very much in the "figuring out how to write certain workers and what does and doesn't work" phase, which I'm infamous for. Probably gonna go back and see how I handled most EWA matches, cause these took up a little more time and space than I'm comfortable with. Still, I enjoyed writing it, just need to get my bearings straight in a few places. :-)

WASA Superstar Spotlight: "The Big Game Hunter" Daniel Jones

 

 

January 27, 2010

 

CAPE TOWN -- South African wrestling, as a whole, has had little impact on the modern world outside of the borders of its historically stagnant independent scene. One man, however, put the Southern Hemisphere country on the wrestling map in the early 2000s. Not much more than a blip on the map of the wrestling world, but more than any other South African athlete in the sport had done since the 1960s. Perhaps you know him as “The Real Menace to Society” or Bigger Dan Ewe or Daniel Jones, but they are all one in the same. No matter which name you know him by, there is little doubt that the towering Daniel Jones is the most successful professional wrestler South Africa has produced in the last half-century.

 

Born to Adama and Rudi Jones (the younger brother of 1960s wrestler Blackjack Jones, who himself enjoyed moderate international success) in 1974, young Daniel Jones was raised hearing wild tales of his uncle’s exploits in the sport, though in a country where it virtually didn’t exist during his youth. By time he was a teenager (and at 14 was already considerably taller than his parents), Jones had already made up his mind on what he wanted to do with his life.

 

 

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d12/JodoKastTRL/WASA/DanielJones.jpg

 

 

“Yeah, a lot of people told me it was a dumb decision back then,” lamented Jones, “But I thought, what the heck, why not? Uncle Jack could teach me everything I needed, and I’d be set. That was my plan, anyhow.”

 

Tragically, that day didn’t come: weeks before Daniel Jones was to begin formal training with his uncle, “Black” Jack Jones was killed in an apparent hit and run. With possibly the only person within three thousand miles capable of training him now gone, a still determined Daniel Jones instead undertook a self-training regimen. However, it was first and foremost his size, not his skill, which got him noticed. By the time he was 18, Daniel had already reached the dizzying height of seven feet tall. Even without formal training, the few ragtag wrestling shows in South Africa were quick to showcase Daniel. Within three years of his debut in front of a crowd of fifty in East London, Jones would receive his first international booking: a small event in Berlin where he was set to be the surprise opponent unleashed by Doctor Insane (a “creation of his latest mad experiment with his GIGANTO-RAY!!!!”) on an unsuspecting Lamprecht “The Lunatic” Kunze. While many there that night have long forgotten that match, Lamprecht Kunze is not among them.

“Ja, I remember it very well. I remember standing in the ring, watching his shadow loom across the ring while mein heart sank thinking ‘Blue Hell, where did they find this guy?’ My first instinct was to teach the new kid a lesson, that I wasn’t just some old man for him to beat on. I hit him over the head with a chair as hard as I could, practically wrapped it around his body like a Daffy Duck cartoon, and it did NOTHING! He was completely un-phased: not his character, him! And the crowd just ate it up! I wanted to tell him this is where he’s supposed to fall down, but I was too scared. ME, too scared! I escaped East Germany on a motorcycle under a hail of communist gunfire, fought Aleph Johansson in a floating barge match while bull sharks circled in the waters… and I was the guy who got tossed in with them. But when I saw the giant in front of me take the biggest beating I’m capable of dishing out and either not want or realize he should be feeling pain… I didn’t know if I should tell him he needs to go get some proper training or to beg for mein life.”

 

Thankfully, Lamprecht Kunze survived. Additionally, the door was opened for Jones: while not a critically acclaimed match, the Jones vs. Kunze bout soon became a favorite of tape traders across continental Europe. Rivaling the sizes of European super heavyweights The Big Bad and Scheming Behemoth, not counting his massive Mohawk which boosted his height to over 7’6”, the man then known simply as “Bigger Dan Ewe” was truly a marvelous sight to behold. Soon “breaking free of Doctor Insane’s control”, “The Real Menace to Society” Bigger Dan Ewe soon become a regular fixture on European independent shows, his time there soon tripling that in his home country (where he still regularly worked). His most prolific work in this period would come as a reoccurring nemesis of Captain Hero in the mid-90s, where only a “super heroic effort” was capable of stopping the giant from his rampage across Europe.

 

Unfortunately, Captain Hero could not be reach for comment, as his contractual obligations to UEW prevent him from risking doing anything that may be considered even remotely entertaining.

 

Eventually, Captain Hero departed the independent scene for Len Schultz’s short-lived, but beloved, European World Class Wrestling, the forerunner to UCR and the boom-period European wrestling has enjoyed ever since. Once again, Jones would find the majority of his time headlining primarily tiny shows in various corners of South Africa. With the emergence of UCR in Europe in 1998, the European independent circuit dried up as much of its former top talents were now part of UCR’s effort to make people care about wrestling in Europe. Seemingly, Jones had been snubbed by the new promotion. However, the rumors of disdain held by UCR owner Louis Figo Manico soon proved to be exaggerated: in the summer of 2000, two years after UCR opened its doors, Daniel Jones was offered a contract with the burgeoning company. Louis Figo Manico, currently enjoying a long term vacation in a tropical paradise, is more than happy to keep the record straight.

 

 

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d12/JodoKastTRL/WASA/LouisFigoManico.jpg

 

 

“Listen my main man; I never had anything against Bigger Dan Ewe, especially back in those days. The real problem was just the timing of everything. We were a young company, trying to take all of Europe by storm! But our direction? We had none. All there was, was my vision of doing for Europe what the SWF has done for America. We got as many of the best talents from the indies as we could, threw them together, and hoped that something would stick. Two of those things that did stick were Scheming Behemoth and The Big Bad, who would go on to be founding members of my most diabolic nemesis’s, The Rogues Gallery. Already, we had a pair of super heavyweight sized wrestlers terrorizing the landscape, with poor Captain Hero and myself doing what we could to contain them. Simply put, there wasn’t room, security, or medical staff for all their opponents early on for a guy even bigger than those two running amok, even if we did have the money."

 

“But you brought him in eventually anyways, correct?”

 

“Si, of course! The Rogues Gallery would always be a cornerstone of UCR, from its birth until those final moments where I lay beaten in the ring by Scheming Behemoth’s feet while Doctor Insane screamed about ‘burning globes of molten fire’ on the old Ultima-tron. But, we still needed new bad guys… and I saw what a lot of people saw in Bigger Dan Ewe, in Jones. In the 60s and 70s, there was Ares Aegaleus, the Greek monster who first roamed Europe until this pond was too small for a fish of his stature, and on to America he went. In the 90s, the same thing happened with Bruce the Giant: his shoulders soon were too broad for Australia, and again to America he went to inspire awe and terror with his presence. And in Bigger Dan Ewe, that’s what I saw: UCR’s own Ares Aegaleus, our own Bruce the Giant. We were a big pond now, a sizeable lake even! So it was time to reel in the biggest fish we could. I was so excited when he made his debut, by Choke Bombing White Knight through a table no less. ‘Finally,’ I thought, ‘we have the last piece of the puzzle to make UCR the next great thing in wrestling.”

 

Early in his UCR run, it looked like Louis Figo Manico was correct. Displaying a peerless intensity and an arsenal of the most devastating moves possible ever seen on the European continent, the Mohawked mad-man known as “Bigger Dan Ewe” was taking the UCR and European wrestling world by storm. Even the international wrestling world had taken notice.

 

“So not a lot of people know this but…” a slight smile crosses Jones’s lips as reminisces, “, during my early years with UCR, I got calls from SWF, HGC, and even a handful of Japanese companies. Now you probably don’t believe it, but it’s true. All of them let me know; soon as my UCR contract was up they’d be glad to help me reach the next level.”

 

That was still a few years off, as UCR had planned to keep the South African mammoth around long term. The plan, however, soon become a derided one. Halfway through his contract, in 2003, the intensity and ferocity of “The Real Menace to Society” seemed to wane as the novelty of his awe-inspiring stature became a thing of old. Where once Bigger Dan Ewe was seen as a guaranteed future UCR champion, and a regular presence at the top of the card against the likes of the legendary Louis Figo Manico and his old rival Captain Hero (and even sometimes teaming with former partner in evil Doctor Insane), the “Real Menace” was plummeting back into the middle of the pack. By the end of 2005, any major efforts to keep him relevant seemed to vanish along with his infamous Mohawk. Louis Figo Manico appears genuinely saddened when the subject is brought up.

 

“In all honesty, I am not sure what happened with him. Dios, I don’t even know if he was really the problem. Early on, those first few years with us, we all put a lot of effort into him. Both all of us in UCR, and even Jones himself. You look back, and you see that fire, you see that potential for greatness. Then, just a year later… I don’t know. Maybe we pushed him too hard. Maybe he let that fire in his belly extinguish itself. UCR only held itself together another year after his departure… maybe it was just that. A sickness was growing all of our hopes, and he was the first one to show the symptoms.”

 

“Have you kept it touch with Jones at all?”

 

“Kept in touch?! My main man, even when we shared a locker room not too many people kept in touch with him. He was just like that, a quiet man… a brooding giant we dared not disturb too often. Kept in touch, no… but I have dropped in on a few of his matches. Sometimes, I wish I’d just go up to him and apologize for letting him down… or slap him across the face for letting us down, haha! I wonder where that fire is that I saw, or if I ever actually saw it all or if I just saw some titanic, foreign giant that could stomp around my own little sandbox so people would pay to see me try to beat him… but other times, my main man, I swear… I think I still see some embers.”

 

Jones, however, views things a little differently.

 

“Manico? Yeah, I’ve seen him sitting in the front row of a few shows, trying his best to look inconspicuous with his sunglasses on to hide his identity. But how many Spaniards do you know with a goofy goatee like that? How many do you know who would be at a wrestling show in Warsaw? Honestly, I’ve got no hard feelings towards the guy: he put me on TV to wrestle in front of an audience across an entire continent. That’s more than the vast majority of guys in this business ever get. And heck, maybe that’s what inspired some of these young guys from South Africa to get into the business. A decade and I was the only South African wrestler of any note outside of the country, and a few years after I face Bam Bam Johansson in a half-hour arm wrestling match they’re springing up all over the place! Maybe that’s something, even if a bunch of internet smart marks would prefer to run their mouths about how little time I spend on my back in matches. Isn’t my fault I don’t like to lose, right?”

 

In December 2006, quietly, Daniel Jones was released from his UCR contract. Less than half a year later, UCR closed its doors, almost immediately bringing about the births of the beloved EWA and reviled UEW promotions. While rumors persist of EWA engaging in “soft” negotiations with Jones, and UEW absolutely refusing to sign anyone as massive as he is for, as usual, fear of providing entertainment, Jones’s time in Europe since the fall of UCR has been spent exclusively on the independent circuit where many speculated that his career may wind to a halt as the former “next big thing” faded into irrelevancy.

 

Three years in obscurity later, his luck would change. In December 2009, Welsh businessman Ken Flanagan announced his plans to open the first major promotion South Africa has seen since Daniel’s uncle wrestled back in the mid-1960s. Flanagan’s first move was to bring in Finbarr McNamara, a constant presence on the South African independent circuit, to be his head booker do to McNamara’s extensive knowledge of the business in the region. McNamara’s first move was to call up his old acquaintance, and opponent, Daniel Jones.

 

 

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d12/JodoKastTRL/WASA/FinbarrMcNamara.jpg

 

 

“Well, clearly most people weren’t willing to pay money to see me…”

 

Apparently contemplating retirement at the time, the now 35 year old Jones says he surprised even himself when he accepted the offer on the spot. For the first time in his life, wrestling regularly in his homeland is legitimately an option. When asked about his motivations for signing with WASA, Daniel Jones simply shook his head and muttered in his thick Afrikaner accent “no comment”. Much debate and speculation has swirled around this secrecy, as some doubtful South Africans wonder if his goals with the WASA are as simple as financial gain or personal glory. Others, however, firmly believe the South African living legend, or the closest thing to a legend this wonderful land has ever seen, is back home to help play his part in something potentially great.

 

If that question is ever answered, then it only leave one more for people to ponder over: is Jones truly and under-achiever, a man who despite his dreams lacks the drive or potential to become what so many once hoped he would, or was Louis Figo Manico’s eyesight not at fault when he saw those first smoldering embers all those many years ago in a forgettable match at a forgettable show one cold night in Berlin? -Philip

Introducing...

 

 

GOLIATH CORP

 

CAPE TOWN -- In a brief statement this morning, Victor Goliath, CEO of the Goliath Corporation, announced his official involvement in the Wrestling Alliance of South Africa. Very little was stated other than he had "big plans in South Africa", and that he employed "only the finest athletes the world has ever seen" to aid him in his still ambigous plans. However, WASA can officially report that the Goliath Corporation consists of these men:

 

 

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d12/JodoKastTRL/WASA/VictorGoliath.jpg

Name: Victor Goliath

Age: 27

Nationality: Australian

Alignment: Heel

Bio: One of the brightest young managers in Australia, Victor Goliath has been working the independent scene since 2007 and looks to have a very good future ahead of him. An excellent talker, his "corporate" gimmick works well and makes him a natural to head heel stables.

 

His recent shocking debut in WASA has put an entire country on edge, as his hostile corporation, Goliath Corp, made their first order of business an assault on WASA's first ever champion, Pablo Rodriguez. It still remains unclear what Victor's ultimate goal is in South Africa, but it is evident that the young Australian business tycoon has already made his presence felt.

 

 

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d12/JodoKastTRL/WASA/MohamedElYaaggoudi.jpg

Name: Mohamed El Yaaggoudi

Age: 35

Nationality: Moroccan

Alignment: Heel

Bio: Mohamed El Yaaggoudi is from Morocco and is primarily famous as a kick boxer, as at his peak (generally regarded to be between 2001-2003) he was widely regarded to be the best in the world in that sport. He retired from international elite kick boxing in 2005 and, after some training, joined Japan's INSPIRE promotion in 2006. Unfortunately he never truly adapted to pro wrestling, even INSPIRE's early style that took heavily from other combat sports, and by early 2008 he had had enough and quit the business. He is now earning his living as a striking coach for several top MMA competitors.

 

Shockingly, El Yaaggoudi made his return to "show" wrestling in early 2010 in the new WASA promotion in South Africa. Rumors speculate that Mohamed never found the workload as an MMA coach that he expect, resulting in the substantial offer from Goliath Corp irresistable. Whatever lead him here, the end result is the same: Goliath Corp has an asset more cunning, ruthless, and dangerous than anything South African wrestling has ever seen.

 

 

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d12/JodoKastTRL/WASA/ArjenVanDenLeyne.jpg

Name: Arjen Van Den Leyne

Age: 34

Nationality: Dutch

Alignment: Heel

Bio: Arjen Van Den Leyne, "The Dutch Master" is a former MMA competitor and world calibre kick boxer who is famed for his explosive barrages of kicks. After retiring from MMA in November 2005 he was swiftly signed by INSPIRE upon their creation, with the hope that he would add legitimacy to the promotion. Arjen's time with the company was brief though; he was injured in only his third match, a torn rotator cuff that put him out of action for months, and before his rehab was even completed he handed in his notice so that he could accept an offer to become a broadcast analyst for a MMA promotion in Europe.

 

Looking to bring in only the best of the best, it seemed there was little doubt in Victor Goliath's mind to bring in "The Dutch Master". Like his cohorts in Goliath Corp, the previously inactive Van Den Leyne made his shocking return to "show" wrestling in early 2010 with an assault on Pablo Rodriguez. A cold, calculating professional, it would appear Van Den Leyne isn't ready to resign himself to the low impact lifestyle of a broadcat analyst quite yet.

 

 

 

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d12/JodoKastTRL/WASA/WaelHossam.jpg

Name: Wael Hossam

Age: 33

Nationality: Egyptian

Alignment: Heel

Bio: Wael Hossam is a rarity, an Egyptian pro wrestler. He uses a very old fashioned amateur style, which he has mastered to the extent of being almost unbeatable on the mat. He joined INSPIRE in 2006 after impressing with his work in Europe, but lasted less than a year before he walked out on the promotion, and the business, after a notable lack of success.

 

Following his departure from INSPIRE, and the wrestling business, Wael Hossam fell on lackluster times. After a lengthy career in wrestling seemingly ended by a poor showing in Japan, Hossam went from being one of Egypt's most prized athletes to seemingly vanishing into the streets of Cairo (though, contrary to popular rumor, he was not mauled to death by a pack of wild dogs). When Victor Goliath made him an offer of employment, the money and opportunity to prove he's capable of more than the mediocrity seen during his time in INSPIRE. Given his demands for the best of the best, it would appear Victor Goliath firmly believes this as well.

WASA Stampede!!! 2010

From Strand, Western Cape

 

CAPE TOWN -- WASA Cape Town Showdown is in the history books, but only as the first chapter of what may be hundreds. The critically acclaimed event has been hailed as "decidedly above average" and "better than what I expected" and even "it qualified as a wrestling show". Now just a little over a week ago, the entire nation of South Africa watched on as WASA crowned the first World Heavyweight champion since Shocker Zulu in 1968 (and even his reign at the time was controversial). But before that historic event, ANOTHER historic event occurred. Again, since the late 60s, for the first time ever a pair of men in South Africa can call themselves the tag team champions of an internationally recognized wrestling promotion. Overcoming the duos of The Shooters and The Tribe, the Nigerian Hit Squad (brothers Rahabad and Rashid Lawal) emerged victorious following a hard fought battle. Initial reports indicate they immediately left the arena to celebrate by punching a brick wall and staring menacingly at some kittens.

 

The real story, however, is that of Mexico's Pablo Rodriguez. The preacher turned wrestler (who still preaches) is well known across the globe for his international exploits, and at WASA Cape Town Showdown he added yet another accolade to his long list of in-ring achievements, as he beat out seven other men (including the South Africa's own Daniel Jones in the finale) to become the first ever WASA World Heavyweight champion, and again, the first world champion the country has seen since 1968. However, he also appeared to add another enemy to his long list of nemesis's in the process, as the ranks of Satan and his demonic legions of hell are joined by the mysterious Goliath Corporation, who in all due respect may be the most evil and insidious forces on Rodriguez's enemy list. Only moments after Pablo had defeated Daniel Jones for the title, Goliath Corp initiated a heinous and unprovoked on the champion. While their purpose and schemes remain a mystery, we're bound to at least get a few answers this month in Strand as WASA hosts "WASA Stampede!!!” Tickets on sale... right about... NOW.

The Dublin Destroyer vs. Wolfgang Klose

Two workers hailing from Europe looking to make a name for themselves here in WASA, Ireland's Dublin Destroyer, best known for his exploits in Scotland's MOSC promotion, takes on former UCR Tag Team champion and technical "expert" Wolfgang Klose of Germany! Truly a golden opportunity for both men to put an entire nation on notice!

The Affliction vs. The Shooters

With the Nigerian Hit Squad crowned WASA World Tag Team champions, the time has come for WASA to determine their first number one contenders. The Shooters, being the last team eliminated in the inaugural tag team match will face off with the dark and enigmatic duo of The Affliction, who were too busy sacrificing goats to their dark, tentacled Lovecraftian horror of a god to participate in last month's battle. Will the masterful technique of The Shooters triumph, or will the pure obsidian twilight of The Affliction engulf them in perdition?!

Kalu Owusu vs. New Zealand Pit Bull

Kalu Owusu, fresh off defeat in the WASA World Heavyweight tournament, looks to rebound as he takes on New Zealand's veteran tough man, the New Zealand Pit Bull. Nothing fancy or flashy about this match, as it's two men facing off in a battle of grit and toughness against grit and toughness. It may just come down to a question of who wants it more...

10 Man Battle Royal: Arjen Van Den Leyne, Eraser, Finbarr McNamara, Gob Narfi, Kashmir Singh, Rahabad Lawal, Rashid Lawal, Rhys Vali, Scott Van Den Berg, Vaughan: WASA South African title

Last month's event saw the crowning of World Tag Team and a World Heavyweight champion, and this month WASA is proud to announce their third title, the WASA South African championship, will be awarded to one of the six men competing in this over-the-top-rope style battle royal! Who will be the last man in the ring? The daredevil Gob Narfi or Rhys Vali? Dutch brute Scott Van Den Berg? "Mr. Bollywood" Kashmir Singh? Vaughan, the towering, menacing ex-con from across the Indian Ocean in Australia? South Africa's own Finbarr McNamara or youngster Eraser? Perhaps Goliath Corp's very own Arjen Van Den Leyne will be the first man to bring a belt into their nefarious fold? Or perhaps one of the Lawal brothers, Rashid or Rahabad, would like to become WASA's first ever dual-champion?

Finbarr McNamara vs. Doctor Insane

No rest for the weary, as immediately following the battle royal Finbarr McNamara is set to go right back into action against none other than Doctor Insane! INTERPOL is on full alert, knowing that it's only a matter of time until the international super criminal known as Doctor Insane performs a deed too dastardly to predict. But perhaps McNamara is up to the task of sending the "good" Doctor scurrying back to his lair!

Wael Hossam vs. Pablo Rodriguez©: WASA World Heavyweight title

War has been declared! With a vicious kick to the back of his skull, Arjen Van Den Leyne fired Goliath Corp's first shot against WASA World Heavyweight champion, "The Priest of Pain" Pablo Rodriguez. And now, it looks like Wael Hossam is set to fire the second, as the Egyptian mat specialist (rumored to be capable of tying knots into people that would drive boy scouts insane to even attempt on a piece of rope) takes on the champion in Rodriguez's first, and perhaps only, title defense! Will Goliath Corp's youngest in-ring and least kick-centric member become WASA's second ever World Heavyweight champion, or is the love of Christ and an affinity for hurricanranas more than enough to make Hossam seek repentance? - Philip

The Dublin Destroyer vs. Wolfgang Klose

Both guys are horrible in ring so I go with Destroyer based on the fact that he was higher on the ladders in your roster review.

 

The Affliction vs. The Shooters

I do like The Affliction but not only are Shooters more skilled and higher up the card than their opponents they also happen to be a face team and with heel champs the challengers will likely be faces.

 

Kalu Owusu vs. New Zealand Pit Bull

I assume that Pit Bull is here mainly to job and to bring in some veteran presense.

 

10 Man Battle Royal: Arjen Van Den Leyne, Eraser, Finbarr McNamara, Gob Narfi, Kashmir Singh, Rahabad Lawal, Rashid Lawal, Rhys Vali, Scott Van Den Berg, Vaughan: WASA South African title

Plenty of good options here but Van Den Leyne or Singh looks to be most likely winners to me and I go with Leyne simply because I´m not sure how long Singh will stay with you.

 

Finbarr McNamara vs. Doctor Insane

Main eventer vs. midcarder who already had a match? Yeah I think I know who I will predict to win then.

 

Wael Hossam vs. Pablo Rodriguez©: WASA World Heavyweight title

Rodriguez won´t drop the title on his first defense.

Klose is a tag wrestler while the Destroyer has some singles potential?!?

I see the Shooters winning, but only because the Affliction will do something so dastardly as to disqualify themselves.

Have to have some allies for Pablo and I think Kalu could slide into that position.

-Klose will win. Because a heel from Germany is always something good to have.

 

The Affliction vs. The Shooters

-I want the Affliction to win, but Heel champs means face #1 contenders.

 

Kalu Owusu vs. New Zealand Pit Bull

-I like Owusu's render.

 

10 Man Battle Royal: Arjen Van Den Leyne, Eraser, Finbarr McNamara, Gob Narfi, Kashmir Singh, Rahabad Lawal, Rashid Lawal, Rhys Vali, Scott Van Den Berg, Vaughan: WASA South African title

-Tough call, in my opinion it will either be Leyne, Finbarr or Singh. Leyne seems the best choice though. Probably KO'ing the last man left with him.

 

Finbarr McNamara vs. Doctor Insane

-Finbarr pulling double duty!!! He stands no chance here.

 

Wael Hossam vs. Pablo Rodriguez©: WASA World Heavyweight title

-Hoping there is no title hotshotting.
