Wrestling Urban Newz Line
Hi guys.
Award-winning IWC journalist Chip Chimney back in the house for another illuminating edition of Wrestling Urban Newz Line - where we shine the lit of a blunt on the dark, shady underbelly of this sport. There's a lot of talk on the streets about this new thing called "BCCW" - Broken City Championship Wrestling. Plymouth County, the 6th largest city in Massachusetts, home to Marvin Hagler and Rocky Marciano, the so-called "City of Champions". Allot is known about Brockton, MA aka "Broken City". Any Ghetto USA. But not much is known about this "BCCW", or it's founding entities.
WHAT WE KNOW
It has been said seed money for this capital venture came from interstate drug trafficking and cigarette smuggling in Canada, but this is thus far unproven. There are also rumors that "BCCW" was founded to operate as a front for money laundering, or a place for bookies to make millions off back door gambles. The men and women hired to help promote this endeavor (the BCCW Street Team) are all legendary SHOOTERS and HOOKERS. Their first card will allegedly be held in the Broken City Slaughterhouse, a deserted warehouse renovated into a sports cathedral. Whoever it may be, the initials "GDT Inc." have been registered on all the official paperwork.
MSD has taken to the airwaves with a sea of press conferences. The first, to announce the signing of Undisputed Heavyweight Champion LOU THESZ. The second to declare the main event for their inaugural card, an International 3-Way Dance featuring JOHN CENA, MIL MASCARAS and a thus far undisclosed 3rd opponent. Even more recently, esteemed Broadcast Journalist and wrestling manager extrodinaire BOBBY "the BRAIN" HEENAN revealed his signing of the original "NATURE BOY" BUDDY ROGERS to an exclusive contract. Then, shortly after WADE BARRETT was removed from WWE programming, he showed up alongside HEENAN and ROGERS at another press conference, heralding the return of the "REAL World's Champion".
WHAT I THINK
Speculation continues to run rampant as to what angle HEENAN & ROGERS (w/ WADE BARRETT) are hoping to pursue. He's already taken shots at JOHN CENA after CENA signed the International 3-Way Dance contract, and reignited the flame of contention with LOU THESZ - a dispute that literally ripped the wrestling world in two when it happened. Does the "Nature Boy" have designs of declaring himself the ONLY World Champion? Or is there something more sinister afoot? I think Naitch is here to stake his claim in the title scene while mentoring some of the next Gen blue chippers in his championship ways. We'll see where the greatest Mind in pro wrestling - Bobby Heenan - will unleash this freight train soon.
Speaking of LOU THESZ, word on the streets says a dark shadow from his past may be conspiring to throw a pall over his triumphant comeback. In response to these thus far unsubstantiated rumors, LOU THESZ has been looking toward his closest allies to form a potentially crippling tag team combination. No word yet on who THESZ may have in mind to watch his back.
Meanwhile, University of Oklahoma two-sport athlete and All American All American JACK SWAGGER has signed on the dotted line to compete on BCCW's inaugural card. When asked why he had chosen to come to the toughest division on the planet, JACK SWAGGER responded "because if there's one thing my daddy taught me - cheaters never win, and winners never cheat". Who will be SWAGGER's opponent? I think the big guy is taking umbrage with all this "shooter" talk...
I'm also hearing talk that the Chain Gang - an offshoot of C.W.B. (Crazy White Boys), both founded in the penal system, have been mobilized to provide back-up for the Franchise JOHN CENA. Is there truth to the rumor that a high-profile member of the Chain Gang is also being recruited by BCCW? On a more sour note, I'm hearing whispers that the infamous Brockton street gang "Black MOB" have been trying to extort their way onto the payroll. Allegedly linked to the Almighty RSO, Made Men and Ray Dog "the Jackal" (aka BENZINO) - we all know their track record of inside destruction and sabotage (see NWO and the fall of THE SOURCE magazine). I think they're looking for a way to hold the World title hostage. John Cena better check himself, before he gets fucked in the ass and thrown off a bridge.
Who will be the 3rd man in the International 3-Way Dance? My sources say he may come from the Far East, and is a Television ratings mega star. Further along the draft spectrum, I am told to anticipate the arrival of a few local hotties. I've seen MSD with dem east coast bunnies and if he can pull a few of those on stage we may ALL be in a for a pleasant treat. And are we in the market for an EXTREME reunion in BCCW??? My sources say the gospel of hardcore will be spread along the gutters of Broken City.
WHAT's NEXT
The next stop along their promotional hype tour is going to be a live exhibition in the old Paramount Drive-In Movie Theater parking lot, as BCCW touts the arrival of international superstar DESMOND WOLFE (aka Nigel McGuinness). With their track record of interruptions and controversy so far, God knows WHAT will happen when BCCW comes together for a live outdoor exhibit. I'm told to expect some big developments as further draft picks have ground to a halt.
On thing is for certain - talent continues to pour in from around the globe and through time for the chance to compete on BCCW's hallowed ground. The same earth Spartacus was said to have spilled his last drop of blood. I'll be reporting all the news as it breaks - LIVE from Broken City - where we respect the SHOOTERS & HOOKERS.
