Ahoy, mates!  It’s the middle of the month and we’re under a week away from the Maiden Voyage of my new enterprise SLAM! Wrestling Finland.  I began this trek in the summer of this past year and now, on November 24 in Kotka, Finland, we’ll hold our first debut offering at Power Tech Group‘s Greatest Little Christmas Ever event.

We have the UK’s top professional wrestler, James Mason, coming in.  We have Russia’s and Sweden’s premiere female wrestlers (respectively) coming in also, Natalia Markova and Helena Sixt.  In addition, we have a top cast of the finest, hand-picked Finnish professionals, both veterans and upstarts alike, in action at this big debut event!

I’ll be facing James Mason, who is one of the toughest, craftiest competitors I have ever wrestled against.  I equate him to being the James Bond of professional wrestling.  It’ll be a true test and a damn hard rock to climb against Mason in Kotka, as when I wrestled him last in Hannover, Germany back in October 2017, he out-wrestled me and pinned me in the end after a very spirited struggle.  This will be chapter two for us on November 24!

I also just got back from Germany, where this past weekend on Saturday night, November 17, I wrestled at DWA Harley Night in Wittorf.  As the reigning DWA World Heavyweight Champion, I met the challenge of Joe E. Legend, who wrestled for a time with WWE back at the end of the 1990s also.  We had a solid wrestling match, one that didn’t quite go Joey’s way at the end as he found himself on the receiving end of my jumping spike piledriver, which had him starting up at the lights for the referee’s three-count when all was said and done.  This was my first title defense after winning the DWA World title back on September 1.

Head on over to our SLAM! Wrestling Finland Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages to check out our journey up ’til now.  There’s pictures of the first-ever SLAM! ring being build at Power Tech by metal industry engineers and workers.  It’s a helluva story, and I’m sure you’ll be delighted to join us, so smash the follow and like buttons and jump aboard with us as we head on toward November 24 in Kotka!

Shoorin' the Shizzat

I’d also like the share the big news about my new podcast called Shootin’ The Shizzat, co-hosted by Canadian-born wrestling referee Dylan Broda and myself!  Dylan is originally from Canada, just like myself, and we talk pro wrestling for an hour to tickle your ears.  It’s an eye-opener in many ways, whether you are a fan or in the wrestling business yourself.  Good gab and current content, worth checking out!

 

This upcoming Saturday night, November 17 in Wittorf, Germany, I’m scheduled to put my recently won DWA World Heavyweight Championship on the line at an annual German event called Harley Night.

Challenging me will be former DWA World Champion from several years back, Joe E. Legend.  Joe also happens to be Canadian, just like myself, and in the latter half of the ’90s he briefly wrestled for WWE as Just Joe.

I know Joe from my early beginnings in pro wrestling, going back to my sophomore year in the business.  It was the year 1995 and Joe took the Greyhound bus down from Toronto to rendezvous with me in Sudbury, Ontario to drive onward to Winnipeg, Manitoba to wrestle for Tony Condello’s IWA.  On that same tour were Ultimo Dragon from Japan, Chris Jericho, Sexton Hardcastle (WWE’s Edge), Lance Storm, Bad News Allen and former AWA World Heavyweight Champion, Rick Martel.  It was a star-studded tour to be sure, and it was a crash course for a green boy like myself back at that time.

Joe Legend is a veteran of the ring wars, just like myself, here 23 years later.  How ironic, that we meet under these circumstances now this coming weekend at DWA’s Harley Night!

Be that as it may, Joe E. Legend is in for the fight of his life in one week’s time.  He’s a former DWA World Champion and I plan on making it stay that way.
