Bullet Point Preview by Boston Pizza for The Next Chapter Saturday December 4 2010The First Round of the ECCW Title Tournament!
Artemis Spencer vs J-SIN Sullivan
• Artemis Spencer is one half of the ECCW Tag Team Champions and 2010 Pacific Cup Champion. He comes off a loss to El Phantasmo and has never held the ECCW Title before.
• J- SIN Sullivan is one of Oregon’s biggest and best stars and just defeated Bishop at First Blood in November. Sullivan is someone with no friends in ECCW and this may be a factor as Artemis has the Church of Divine Prophecy watching his back.
The Cremator vs Tony Baroni
• The Cremator is The Church of Divine Prophecy monster. He has never won the big one, and will regularly sacrifice winning in the hopes of inflicting great pain and suffering.
• Tony Baroni is ECCW’s breakout star of 2010, and is on a hot streak beating both Jamie Diaz and Bishop in the last month. Baroni is still very inexperienced though, and who knows how he will fair in such an important tournament.
The Divine
Prophet vs Billy Suede
• The Divine Prophet returned from his summer sabbatical and captured the ECCW Tag Team Titles on just his second match back. Prophet has never held singles gold.
• Billy Suede is the only former ECCW Champion in the tournament and is the 2008 Pacific Cup Champion. These two accomplishments make him the odds on favorite to win the whole thing.
Bishop vs Pete Powers
• With Sid Sylum injured, Bishop has taken over as top dog in Natural Selection. He is the only former NWA Canadian Champion in the tournament and eliminated three men last month in War Games. Bishop has lost his last two singles matches and showed great frustration and anger with these losses.
• Pete Powers’ pure strength and size will be a problem for anyone. Powers has only had ECCW success in tag wrestling and is unproven as a singles competitor.
NWA Canadian Junior Title
Rick “The Weapon” X (c) vs Harv Sihra
• These men met back at Van City Showdown and tore the roof off the RCC. It was such a close match that this rematch was made by Commissioner Insane Bill Coltrane
• Harv is the last NWA Pacific Northwest Junior Champion and has vowed to add this belt to his impressive resume. Rick is a fighting champion and never backs down from a fight.
Egos & Icons vs The International Blood Lines
• Rocky Della Serra and Rick “The Weapon” X will team up to face Egos & Icons at Season Beatings. Egos & Icons need to make sure they do not look past IBL with their Boxing Day match on the horizon.
• Even though they lost, IBL made an impressive showing at First Blood vs the ECCW Tag Champs. They will try to get their first win in ECCW as a team at The Next Chapter.
Also, new ECCW Owner Mike Sweetser and his NWA Canadian Champion Scotty Mac will be addressing the ECCW fans in regards to their actions back at Do or Die. Consequentially, El Phantasmo has vowed retaliation after Smac and Sweester’s actions. All this and more at The Next Chapter, December 4th at the RCC!
