Paradise Pro Wrestling: Hawaii's Finest (RTG CV16X)

Idolized · June 7, 2016

He was tired.

For the past 11 years he'd traveled the globe and busted his tail but what did he have to show for it? Sure there was that cup of coffee in Australia for Revolution Australian Wrestling, but what did it amount to? Six years in the midcard and a plane ticket back to square one. His character wasn't suited for the no nonsense realism of Total Championship Wrestling. He hadn't been able to secure so much as a tryout for the SWF in the past 11 years. Sure, his comic personality would fit in well with United States Pro Wrestling, but at 35 and with 11 years of wear and tear on his body, he wasn't really a strong candidate for the kind of youthful worker they should be investing in.

His chance at super-stardom had seemingly faded away. And hell, that was okay with him.

There were only a few things on the mind of Molokai Milk: Sun, Sand, Palm Trees, and the cool breeze of the Pacific. The idea of returning home to Hawaii and calling it quits had never been more appealing. He was going to hang up the boots for good and teach surfing to the tourists. Hell, anything sounded more appealing than another trip to Australia.

I wasn't much for surfing.

In fact, I wasn't much for a lot of what the island had to offer. For years we'd bounced from base to base as my father was stationed and transferred all over the country at the military's will. This last one was a real kicker. It had left us stranded on this god forsaken string of islands far from the main land and far from the one thing I'd wanted to do my entire life: become a professional wrestler.

Hawaii isn't much for wrestling. In fact, there wasn't a single promotion based on the islands. It was killing me. I couldn't even spend a Saturday night at an indy show. Finding someone to train me? Tough luck. I once saw Stuart Ferdinand at the beach, and the 33 year veteran nearly ripped my head off for even approaching him. Clark Alexander flat out told me he had no interest in training anyone.

Molokai Milk was my only hope.

I had to convince him not only to train me, but that I knew what his future had in store: launching Hawaii's very first independent wrestling promotion.

To say that convincing Molokai Milk to rethink his decision to ride off into the sunset (quite literally in his case, and on a surf board no less) was easy would be a flat out fabrication. It was sometime toward the end of January 2015 when I first approached the bleach blond former grappler turned surf instructor. He was just packing up his Jeep Wrangler from the day's lessons. Milk was cordial, if not a little stand-offish as I introduced myself, Gunnar LaValley, as a big fan of his work and wrestling in general. Sure, the locals knew he was a professional wrestler, but having never made it to the grand stage and wrestling mostly in Australia - he'd been able to keep a sort of anonymity in his home area. He was hardly what you'd call a local celebrity. He politely shook my hand and thanked me for the support, but assured me that his days in the ring were through and he was embarking on a new journey in his life. As the Jeep sped out of the parking space, I knew this wasn't going to convince him to lace the boots back up.

The next day I logged on to his website, www.molokaiteachessurf.com and signed up for one of the open spots the following week. Did I mention how much I hated surfing and the Ocean in general? Getting ripped to shreds by a Great White wasn't exactly on my to do list - but becoming a wrestler was. He recognized me the moment I met him at the beach.

Molokai Milk: "You no here fo learn about surf, huh mon? I tell you brah, I no wrestle no mo'"

The Pidgin was strong in ol' Molokai.

I proceeded to explain my passion for wrestling, my desire to become a professional wrestler, and my wish for someone to bring wrestling to the islands. If I hadn't lost him with the first two that last one certainly brought a reaction.

Molokai Milk: "Wrestlin' in Hawaii? You crazy brah... don't no one want to see no wrestlin' on these islands! Can't be done brah"

No was not an answer I was about to take. Sure, I left that day with my tail between my legs, a little defeated about the third professional wrestler I'd approached telling me to hit the bricks. But I could see there was something still there in Milk's eyes when he talked about wrestling. It wasn't a fire, a burning passion. But there was still a spark, still a trace of the love he once had for the business.

I relentlessly bothered him, meeting him at his jeep after surf lessons for three straight weeks before he finally caved, realizing my passion was genuine. With a thousand dollars in my pocket I began training in Molokai's backyard in March. He didn't have much to offer in equipment other than a highly used and worn out ring, a mismatched weight set and a jump rope. But I loved every second of it. Dont get me wrong - the days were hard, some days I didn't know how I was going to get out of bed and hobble to training. This though, was everything I wanted since I was ten years old and watched Jack Bruce defeat Runaway Train for the SWF World Heavyweight Championship.

By December, with nine months of training under my belt I started to wonder what exactly the next step would be. There were no promotions in Hawaii to get my start. Was I expected to travel to the mainland? Japan? Australia? How would I even get my foot in the door?

As it turned out I wouldn't have to travel far.

One day as we were downing our morning meal, Molokai tossed a business card and an envelope on the table in front of me.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://s32.postimg.org/ueu07jz2d/table.jpg</div>

The card read "Paradise Pro Wrestling," and the envelope was the same one with $1,000 that I'd given Molokai for training.

Molokai Milk: "We do this, we do it my way brah."

And thus, Paradise Pro Wrestling, Hawaii's first wrestling organization was born.

When Molokai said we were doing things his way, he meant a number of things. Firstly, he would be the owner of the company, and not only would I be expected to compete - I would also be given the books and day to day operations.

Also, with just the starting money of the $1,000 I'd paid for my training I was given the following goals.

Owner Goals:

Goal #1: Paradise Pro Wrestling must not have fallen below #40 in the company rankings when the time expires. (Critical, 2 years)

Goal #2: Paradise Pro Wrestling must not be in debt when the time expires (Critical, 2 years)

Goal #3: You can't hire any wrestler that is classified as a spot monkey (Average, 1 year)

Goal #4: You cannot hire or extend the contract of any wrestler who has problems with the law. (Average, 2 years)

Goal #5: You can't hire any wrestler that is classified as a psychopath (2 years, 4 months)

I was also expected to hire our starting roster. Molokai offered not to take a paycheck until the company was in good terms financially.

No psychopaths. No spot monkeys. Nobody with law problems. With funds so tight, I gave myself the following criteria - hire only workers with 0-3 years experience and an asking price of no more than $275 per appearance. After posting the talent search on our website, <a href="http://www.paradisepro.com" rel="external nofollow">http://www.paradisepro.com</a> and posting it on various message boards across the internet - I was actually surprised by the number of responses we got. In the end, we ended up with the starting eight of Paradise Pro...

Starting Roster:

http://s32.postimg.org/6dd7a1cad/Molokai_Milk.jpg

Molokai Milk is a Hawaiian wrestler who is best known for his six year spell with Australian cult promotion RAW (Revolution Australia Wrestling). Ultra-charismatic in a goofy sort of way, Molokai seems to have an innate ability to connect with the fans; he is nothing special in the ring, but doesn't need to be given his showmanship. Never more than a solid midcarder in RAW, Milk eventually grew bored and decided to return home to Hawaii in 2015. In December 2015, he announced that he would be launching his very own promotion on the wrestling starved Hawaiian Islands, promising that Paradise Pro Wrestling would run its first show in January 2016.

<div style="text-align:right;">http://s32.postimg.org/octrql64l/GT_Lightning.jpg</div>

Gunnar LaValley is a 19 year old rookie, and trainee of Molokai Milk. A military brat growing up, his family moved to the islands a few years back. Excelling in gymnastics as well as track and field in high school, his speed and agility are his most notable skills. He's settled on the name GT Lightning for his Paradise Pro Wrestling debut.

http://s32.postimg.org/5f0trhf7p/Maquina_de_Amor.jpg

<a href="http://s32.postimg.org/joe8erxvp/Austin_Smooth.jpg" rel="external nofollow">Austin "Easy Money" Smooth</a> is a youngster from New Jersey whose real name is Phil Jerome. What he lacks in experience, he more than makes up for with a terrific look and some particularly slick chain and mat wrestling. That slickness in the ring lead to his trainers giving him "Smooth" as a surname. He has a sick Full Nelson/Camel Clutch combination for a finisher... In Paradise Pro Wrestling he will be known as the masked womanizer Máquina del Amor (Love Machine)

<div style="text-align:right;">http://s32.postimg.org/6wwugndj9/Cip_Conduit_alt.jpg</div>

<a href="http://s32.postimg.org/clggte539/Cip_Conduit.jpg" rel="external nofollow">Cip Conduit</a> is a brawler from Maine who graduated the Piledriver School Of Wrestling in 2012. A straight-ahead fist fighter who doesn't possess much in the way of technique or subtlety, he's your standard bar room brawler... he will be given the gimmick of the rough and tough Callous Cip

http://s32.postimg.org/5exlzv4n9/Cobra.jpg

"The Snake Man" Cobra (AKA William Jetterson) is a brawler who claims to hail from the Florida Everglades. He is both cold and calculating, and is always accompanied by his live python Sid... In Paradise Pro Wrestling he will go by "Cobra" Bill Johnson

<div style="text-align:right;">http://s32.postimg.org/o3yy8wmyt/Gidayu_Katou.jpg</div>

Gidayu "The Lariat" Katou is a powerful 19 year old sensation from Japan who, as his nickname suggests, possesses a fearsome lariat in his arsenal. A good natural athlete, he is quick and fluid in the ring, although he does have a tendency to get over-excited and occasionally gas himself. Aside from the devastating lariat, he also can perform a jaw dropping moonsault and a variety of suplexes. He will work under the ring name HATSUDENJO (Power House)

http://s32.postimg.org/bzfjxk1mt/Seth_Whitehead.jpg

Seth Whitehead is a 256lb grappler from Robbinsdale, Minnesota. A highly accomplished wrestler when in college for The Golden Gophers, Whitehead has great technique and athleticism and is especially known for his unique takedown style - scooping his opponent up over his shoulder, he then runs forward and plants them into the mat. This technique, which is almost a spinebuster in itself, has become a feature of his work and is usually followed by submission attempts. He has a killer goatee and a sinister look... thus, he has been given the moniker Siniestro

<div style="text-align:right;">http://s32.postimg.org/hijiofpz9/Gregory_Chapman.jpg</div>

And lastly Gregory Chapman is a referee from Canada who has also worked for various promotions located on the southern side of the border with America too... He's fairly cheap and the wrestlers can't count their own pinfalls so he is our senior (and only) official.

Great Start!

I'm really enjoying this so far. I always wanted to do a promotion out of Hawaii in TEW2010, but never got around to it. Subscribed.

A whopping crowd of nine (9!) fans sat around Molokai Milk's backyard as Paradise Pro Wrestling kicked off its debut event, "Beatings From Paradise: Night One"

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/IRwarrior86/Molokai%20Milk.jpg

Molokai Milk

With a beat up looking 90's boombox blaring The Beach Boys' "

<div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="150" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/9BaC95O37Os?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="The Beach Boys Surfin' USA With Lyrics (Lyrics Are in the Description)"></iframe></div></div>." Molokai Milk kicked off the show by dancing through the curtain and doing his best to pump the fans up. Spotting a little boy in the audience, Milk took off his flowered Lei and placed it around the neck of the young fan before rolling into the ring and dancing around a bit more to the classic tune of his music. Molokai welcomed everyone to Paradise Pro Wrestling, and in his thick Hawaiian accent, proudly proclaimed that professional wrestling had finally come to Hawaii. The fun-loving Milk said that he knows that the fans want to be entertained and have a good time, something he was all about. He promised that good times would be had, because very soon Paradise Pro Wrestling would be crowning its very first heavyweight champion - a goal he had set his sights on achieving. As Molokai tried to continue, he was interrupted by T.I.'s "

<div style="text-align:right;">http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/IRwarrior86/Callous%20Cip.jpg

Callous Cip</div>

With a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, and a vile look on his face, Callous Cip walked out through the curtain and headed to the ring. After looking face to face with Molokai in the ring, he shook his head and made it very clear that Molokai wasn't his favorite person in the world. "You make me sick," Cip claimed. "I ain't about looking like some kind of idiot out here dancing and kissing babies." What he was about, was beating people up and winning titles - and that's exactly what he was going to do in Paradise Pro Wrestling. And when he did become Heavyweight Champion, no "Good Times" would be had.

With that, Molokai Milk replied that he wasn't about to let some "Sour Puss" come out here and ruin his vibe, but he did offer Cip his hand and stated that they would soon find out who the best man was when the first ever PPW Heavyweight Champion was crowned. Cip just looked at Milk's extended hand, and turned his back before walking away. As he did, another man slid into the ring and attacked Milk from behind!

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/IRwarrior86/Cobra.jpg

"Cobra" Bill Johnson

"Cobra" Bill Johnson, in his reptilian airbrushed green tights, proceeded to stomp and punch the downed "Milk Man" as Cip joined in. With Molokai overwhelmed by the numbers advantage, try as he might - he quickly succumbed to the attack with both Johnson and Cip getting their shots in.

<div style="text-align:right;">http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/IRwarrior86/GT%20Lightning.jpg

GT Lighting</div>

Help soon came though, in the form of Milk's protege, as GT Lightning raced to the ring and sent Cobra out of the ring with a modified flying head scissors - the impact of which bounced Johnson through the ropes and to the ground. Lightning then caught the attention of Callous Cip who fired a wild right hand. Lightning ducked the attack, hit the ropes and with a flipping clothesline, took Cip to the canvas. Molokai regained his composure and together, teacher and student sent Cip to the outside. With his attackers reeling, Milk challenged Cip and Johnson to step into the ring with Lightning and himself tonight.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/IRwarrior86/HATSUDENJO.jpghttp://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/IRwarrior86/VS.pnghttp://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/IRwarrior86/Sinaestro.jpg

HATSUDENJO versus Siniestro</div>

The first ever match in Paradise Pro Wrestling , saw the muscle clad 18 year old prodigy HATSUDENJO collide with the mat technician Siniestro in a clash of styles. While Siniestro looked to rely on his precise takedown technique to keep his more powerful opponent grounded, HATSUDENJO would prove he was no slouch in the wrestling department either as he worked his way to his feet and mounted his power attack. A huge running powerslam nearly put Siniestro away at the eight minute mark, but he got a foot on the bottom rope and rolled to the outside. With his opponent reeling on the outside, the young powerhouse showed off his amazing agility with a moonsault off the top rope and onto a standing Siniestro on the outside. Referee Greg Chapman began to count both men out, reaching the count of eight before HATSUDENJO rolled Siniestro back in. After going for the cover, it was clear that too much time had passed and Siniestro kicked out promptly at two.

After evading a charging Avalanche in the corner, Siniestro mounted his comeback, working over the young lion with a series of submission attempts targeting the lower back and legs. Disabling the legs and back limited the explosive power of his opponent, but didn't kill his will to win as Siniestro would soon find out. Upon lifting HATSUDENJO up onto his shoulders for his Death Valley Driver finishing maneuver, Siniestro was caught with a series of hard elbow shots to the face as HATSUDENJO slid off his back, hit the ropes, and NAILED SINIESTRO WITH THE LARIATOOO~!!!! and the three count for the win.

Winner: HATSUDENJO @ 13:16

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/IRwarrior86/Maquina%20Del%20Amor_1.jpg

Maquina Del Amor

Once the ring was cleared, Barry White's "

<div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="150" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/cqkwykA4iFw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Let's Get It On"></iframe></div></div>" brought out the masked Maquina Del Amor, well dressed in a pair of grey trousers held up with matching suspenders and a pinstriped button down shirt. A cane in one hand, and a single rose in the other topped off the ensemble as the asked luchador stepped into the ring. He introduced himself as "The Sexiest Man in Paradise," and claimed that the PPW Heavyweight Championship would no sexier than around his waist. Amor claimed that he was not all business and no pleasure though, claiming he was a great fighter AND a great lover as well. Holding the rose out, he claimed that he would be giving the flower to one lucky lady in the audience, the one he found the sexiest of all. Rolling out of the ring, Maquina scanned the crowd of nine people, just three of them being women. Finally settling on a young blonde teen, he looked as if he was going to hand her the rose but snatched it away instead. "On second thought," declared Maquina Del Amor, "There isn't a single one of you nasty, disgusting sweat-hogs in this place that deserve such an honor!" That got a negative reaction as Maquina laughed, bit the stem of the rose between his teeth, and sauntered to the back.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/IRwarrior86/GT%20Lightning.jpghttp://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/IRwarrior86/Molokai%20Milk.jpghttp://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/IRwarrior86/VS.pnghttp://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/IRwarrior86/Cobra.jpghttp://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b251/IRwarrior86/Callous%20Cip.jpg</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">GT Lightning and Molokai "Full PHAT" Milk versus "Cobra" Bill Johnson and Callous Cip</div>

In the night's main event, the jovial nature of Molokai Milk continued to get on the nerves of Callous Cip as the "Milk Man" comically escaped a number of holds and brought the crowd to their feet at the expense of his opponents. While Cip attempted to hip toss Molokai, the Hawaiian blocked it and gyrated his hips. Another attempt and Molokai did the same. Again and again until finally Milk walked out of the overhook and performed a whole little dance routine before calling on Cip for a dance off. Cip wasn't having it though and instead tagged in Johnson. "Cobra" Bill talked trash and pointed to the brown sack lying in his corner, the contents of which were presumed to be his slithering pet python Sid. Molokai shivered, and turned to his protege - but Johnson attacked him while his back was turned, proving that you indeed never turn your back on a snake. After being punished with some brawling in enemy territory, Molokai evaded a dropkick from Johnson and locked on a modified octopus stretch. While wrenching the hold, Milk used his free hand to take off his head band and wipe his face. Looking to his partner, Milk yelled that he was "parched, brah" - to which Lightning hopped off the apron and went over to the fans. He grabbed a drink from one of them, slid into the ring and proceeded to give his trainer a refreshing drink - all while Milk punished Johnson in the excruciating hold and the fans laughed!

Finally, Molokai released the hold and proceeded to tag in his partner, and Bill did the same. Callous Cip refused to keep his wrestling clean, and resorted to underhanded tactics while Johnson distracted the referee time and time again, making the young GT the time tested face-in-peril. After being beaten down in enemy territory, Lightning couldn't prevent Cip from tagging in "Cobra" Bill who hit the ring and cut off Lightning's attempt at crawling into the corner. However, he didn't expect the rookie to haul off and blast him in the face with an enziguri! As Cobra hit the mat, Lightning used seemingly all that was left in the tank to crawl to his corner and make a big leap for the tag! Molokai hit the ring on fire, but was cut off by referee Gregory Chapman who had been distracted by Callous Cip and didn't see the tag! As Molokai pleaded his case, Cip grabbed the ring bell and clocked GT Lightning with it! "Cobra" Bill slithered his way over to Lightning and made the cover as Molokai, at the urging of the referee, went back to the apron. The three count was academic, despite the protests of Lightning's trainer.

Winners: "Cobra" Bill Johnson and Callous Cip @ 12:44

With Molokai Milk checking on his protege in the ring, Cobra and Cip brought an end to the event by mocking the dance moves of Molokai Milk and giving one another a high five before heading through the curtain.

Couple of questions, though, as I'm thinking of starting an RtG game, myself... who're you using as a road agent? And do you not have any announcers?
