Press Conference held in the Uptown Meeting Room at the Renaissance Dallas Hotel

 

Welcome to the newest wrestling promotion in the United States, the Longhorn Wrestling League. I have had a passion for wrestling since my teens and now approaching 40, I have decided to change careers and start the Longhorn Wrestling League here in the Mid-South region in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area of Texas.

 

Why did I leave the confines of the southern California region of the South West and start in the Mid-South area? Frankly, the competition. One of the largest promotions, HGC, resides in my area and I think I will have a lower profile outside of my home base, so I packed up the family and headed to Texas.

 

Thoughts going forward.

 

No heel/face divide for about year or so to get to know my roster

Pay well for the backstage personnel

Use mostly young lighter weight talent for the first year or two before expanding

Hire a few older, experienced pros to help the others

Mostly single matches for the first year

No titles for the nine months to a year

Women division to be added later. May borrow some talent to showcase.

Plan to put on a show in South East region as well so have more wrestlers and split brand to cover the extra shows

 

Welcome aboard and I hope you enjoy the show.

Little Bill Lebowski, 22, is a great local talent right here from the Mid-South area. Used to work for the TWL in its heyday. Don’t let his size fool you. He is a fire-plug-like fighter who mixes speed with brawling.</p><p> </p><p>

Sunday - Tuesday Week 1 January 1997

 

News Conference held in the Uptown Meeting Room at the Renaissance Dallas Hotel.

 

I am excited about some new signings that came through today.

 

http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah85/Brian_Brumby/Karl%20Jackson-min_zpsypigsxwm.jpghttp://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah85/Brian_Brumby/The%20Guru-min_zpsqyazqvaz.jpghttp://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah85/Brian_Brumby/El%20Pistolero-min_zpse6kk9sj0.jpghttp://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah85/Brian_Brumby/Lionheart%20Lawson-min_zps35zgxkcf.jpg

 

First, Karl Jackson from the Great Lakes area comes in as Road Agent and will help in interviews and announcer. He was a long serving member of SWF roster prior to his retirement. Karl said he was glad to come on board to help a new generation of talent improve their skills.

 

Next, The Guru from New England has agreed to help in the announcing booth when he can spare the time from CZCW. We are excited to have him join us.

 

Third, we have added El Pistolero, 24, from South Eastern Mexico. His exciting Luchador style should fit in well with Tigre Salvaje and Pablo Rodriguez.

 

We also signed Chris “Lionheart” Lawson from the South East. Chris is an established veteran on the east coast who is knownfor being able to have a solid match with just about anyone. He has been brought in to help establish the rising young stars in the promotion.

 

http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah85/Brian_Brumby/Tate%20Lyall-min_zpsww4dqgp0.jpghttp://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah85/Brian_Brumby/Golden%20Fox-min_zpsfo5yv2qq.jpghttp://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah85/Brian_Brumby/Dixie%20Diamond_alt3-min_zpsbroc5zia.jpg

 

A newcomer, Tate Lyall was signed today. The 23-year-old comes from the South West where he is going to split time with CZCW and ourselves.

 

We signed a real veteran today. Let me introduce to you Golden Fox, 41, from the South West. Golden is a freelance worker who is known for his globetrotting ways. He has had runs with most of the most of the major US territories in his illustrious career. He has been brought in to give spectacular show

 

To round out the recent signings, we have hired Dixie Diamond, XX (I will never tell), from the Tri State area to bolster the announcing booth and the backstage interviews. Approaching the end of her career, she approached us to move into a non-wrestling role and have an active role in the South-East expansion.

 

Looking forward to South East Storm coming in 13 days as we try to crack another region.

Black Eagle, 22, from the Tri State area. He is a great worker having performed with many indy promotions. He has a good athletic background and will appeal the local crowd.</p><p> </p><p>

Craig Green, 19, from the Ontario, Canada area. He is known for being a rebellious clubber that will add some spice to our team.</p><p> </p><p>

Edwin D. Bashford, 19, from the New England area. He has good all-around skills and charisma which gives him a great potential to go far with our organization.</p><p> </p><p>

Jack Giedroyc, 20, from Scotland. Welcome to America, Jack. Jack is one of the recent new wave of youngsters appearing in the UK and we are grateful that he accepted our offer. He will add some high-flying skills with good brawling techniques to the show.</p>

<p><a href="http://s1378.photobucket.com/user/Brian_Brumby/media/Joey%20Poison-min_zpsiie4ycbg.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah85/Brian_Brumby/Joey%20Poison-min_zpsiie4ycbg.jpg</span></a><a href="http://s1378.photobucket.com/user/Brian_Brumby/media/Phoenix%20II_alt-min_zpsou3ioqjp.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah85/Brian_Brumby/Phoenix%20II_alt-min_zpsou3ioqjp.jpg</span></a><a href="http://s1378.photobucket.com/user/Brian_Brumby/media/Ray%20Johnson-min_zpsy3f9wp8n.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah85/Brian_Brumby/Ray%20Johnson-min_zpsy3f9wp8n.jpg</span></a><a href="http://s1378.photobucket.com/user/Brian_Brumby/media/Steven%20Ambrose_alt1-min_zpshfazepve.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah85/Brian_Brumby/Steven%20Ambrose_alt1-min_zpshfazepve.jpg</span></a></p><p> </p><p>

Joey Poison, 19, also from the Ontario, Canada area. In fact, he and Jack are cousins. With a solid grounding in many different styles, Joey could become a big star for us.</p><p> </p><p>

A mystery man we will call Phoenix II. He is 22 and hails from the West Central area of Mexico. He was excited with our program and will wrestle masked as the successor to the great Mexican Lucha star, the Phoenix. He will add to our exciting group of Luchadores.</p><p> </p><p>

Ray Johnson, 23, an additional referee from right here in Texas. He has very good skills and was smart enough to choose us and not to join the AMW.</p><p> </p><p>

Steven Ambrose, 21, another United Kingdom wrestler this time from the southern portion of British Isles. He has been wrestling since he was 16 and is highly regarded for his versatility and reliability.</p><p> </p><p>

<a href="http://s1378.photobucket.com/user/Brian_Brumby/media/Jack%20DeColt-min_zpsamawdihw.jpg.html" rel="external nofollow"><span>http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah85/Brian_Brumby/Jack%20DeColt-min_zpsamawdihw.jpg</span></a></p><p> </p><p>

The last new signing from British Columbia in Canada. I want to introduce you to the youngest member of the legendary DeColt family, Jack DeColt (as he comes in from the adjacent room). Only 19, I believe he will bring great wrestling to the LWL.</p><p> </p><p>

I hope that all of you are as excited as I am in this last group of talents we are bringing to you in the squared circle.</p><p> </p><p>

Thank you for attending and NOW, the entire team of the LWL (as the entire roster enters the room)!</p>

Dixie Diamond: One of the coolest guys in the LWL, Jack DeColt. What do you think of your match tonite with Edwin D. Bashford.</p><p> </p><p>

Jack DeColt: I expect a good, hard match between us. Both of us are young and hungry.</p><p> </p><p>

Garrett Edwards and The Guru have a brief verbal exchange, voicing their opinions regarding the upcoming singles match between Dark EAGLE and Tigre Salvaje.</p><p> </p><p>

In a decent match, Dark EAGLE defeated Tigre Salvaje in 14:48 by two straight falls, with the final fall happening by pinfall with an Eagle Shock. This was a good match for Tigre and should improve his skills. – 40D-</p><p> </p><p>

Held at the Red Lion venue in FT. Worth, Texas with 650 fans in attendance.</p><p> </p><p>

The show leads off featuring The Guru, Eric Tyler, Jack DeColt, Karma and Steven Ambrose and myself discuss the Winter Wonder Slam event. It was obvious that all had a good time the crowd really ate it up.</p><p> </p><p>

Backstage, Garrett Edwards interviews Dark EAGLE and Steven Ambrose taking on Rick Sanders and Craig Green in a tag match. It was good to see Dark EAGLE smile a little.</p><p> </p><p>

Dark EAGLE and Steven Ambrose defeated Rick Sanders and Craig Green in a Ladder match in 15:13 when Steven Ambrose retrieved the item. Nearing the 12 minute mark, Rafael Ruiz stood on the apron clearly distracting Steven Ambrose which almost cost him the match.</p><p> </p><p>

In terms of in-ring work, Dark EAGLE was head and shoulders above everyone else. Craig Green was the weak link, struggling to keep up with everyone else's in-ring performance.</p><p> </p><p>

In spite of all this the crowd was paying close attention. – 39D-</p><p> </p><p>

In between the match, our Road Agent, Karl Jackson approached me. </p><p> </p><p>

Dixie Diamond and I are backstage discussing the upcoming singles match between Karma and El Pistolero.</p><p> </p><p>

In a poor match, both wrestlers spent more time outside the ring than inside. While being very lenient with the calling, Referee Eugene Williams had to finally ring the bell. Karma drew with El Pistolero in 8:28 following a double count out. – 33E</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Donnie J vs Thomas Goddard</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Backstage, Dixie Diamond had an interview with Donnie J hyping his upcoming singles match with Thomas Goddard.</p><p> </p><p>

In a bout that didn't have much heat and terrible wrestling, Donnie J defeated Thomas Goddard in 12:10 by pinfall with a Death On Miami Beach. – 17F+</p><p> </p><p>

In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, Jack DeColt defeated Black Eagle in 15:01 by submission with an End Of Days. -- 28E</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Tigre Salvaje & Phoenix II vs Pablo Rodriguez & Rafael Ruiz</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Backstage, I had an interview with Tigre and Phoenix II taking on Pablo Rodriguez and Rafael Ruiz in a tag match. I then went over to where Pablo Rodriguez and Rafael Ruiz were getting ready and interviewed them in which they taunt Tigre and Phoenix II. </p><p> </p><p>

In a match that had the crowd buzzing, Pablo Rodriguez pinned Phoenix II in 14:15.-- 42D</p><p> </p><p>

As Dixie Diamond is conducting a backstage interview between Eric Tyler and Human Arsenal a heated argument ensues, culminating in Eric Tyler jerking the microphone from Dixie's hand and proceeding to use it to club Human Arsenal repeatedly. A number of the backstage wrestlers came out to help and break them up.</p><p> </p><p>

In a decent match, Eric Tyler defeated Human Arsenal in 14:48 by submission with a Tradition lift after blatantly cheating. -- 62C</p><p> </p><p>
