| 20/05/06 - The return
of THE INSIDER |
Well. You thought I, the INSIDER, had disappeared. Although you
may not have heard from me in some time, I , the INISIDER, am
never far from the pulse of Perth wrestling. With Evolution on
the horizon, it is time for my thoughts on some current issues
in EPW. And maybe even a little ‘inside’ goss.
*****Does anyone else get the feeling that this Forefathers
versus the new generation feud is only just getting started?
Many thought that the when GST beat Nate Dooley and Davis Storm
at Settling the Score that the Forefathers would just wilt away.
But rather than go into their shells it seems that they are
redoubling their efforts to ‘take back’ EPW. My attempts to talk
to the Forefathers about this have proven difficult. Nate Dooley
simply told me that what he said at Sudden Impact would prove to
be an accurate prediction. I, the INISDER, feel that EPW is yet
to feel the full wrath of a fired up Forefathers unit and would
be foolish to discount them. You can not take lightly a group
that features two former EPW champions, a man who once ran EPW,
a former chairman and one of the greatest wrestler in Australian
wrestling history. Whether or not Nate Dooley’s prophecy becomes
fulfilled will be known after Evolution.
*****The search for GST’s opponents for their Australia wide
open challenge continues. With so many great wrestlers all over
this country the search has not been a easy one. Damien Slater
is returning to EPW at Evolution and is trying to find a tag
partner to challenge for the belts. There has also been
considerable interest from wrestler in both Sydney and
Melbourne. I, the INSIDER, predict that whoever it is GST will
certainly have found themselves the challenge they were after.
But CJL says they are ready for whoever comes their way. “Last
year was a huge challenge for Bobby and myself. But with my foot
back to 100% we’ve met every obstacle head on in 2006 and
whoever steps up at Evolution better be ready for a fight.”
*****The situation between Mikey and Shane Haste appears to be
heating up. We all heard what Mikey had to say to Shane at
Sudden Impact and his comments were certainly controversial. “I
didn’t mean to blast the fans, I was just fired up,” the former
EPW champion said, “And I still am. These young guys have to
learn that you have to take advantage of every opportunity you
get. A shot at the EPW championship should not be taken for
granted. Shane cost himself the chance of a lifetime just so he
could show off. Well that’s fine but when he cost me my chance
of regaining my belt then I felt like something needed to be
said.” There can be no doubt that Mikey has been a changed
wrestler since returning from LA. I, the INSIDER, believe that
having experienced wrestling at the top level, he now knows what
he needs to do to make it and will not compromise himself for
anyone. I tried to contact Shane for comment but he said he had
nothing to say to Mikey at this point.
*****And lastly, Tommy Cartel has returned from his leg injury
and scored a good win over Justin Sane at the latest EPW
Goldmembers show. But now that he has returned, he must face his
mentor, FN Carnage at Evolution. “Here is a young man who has
more potential than possibly anyone in EPW,” said Carnage of his
protégé, “But potential is nothing if it goes unfulfilled. And
in our sport, talent alone means nothing. You need
determination, passion and heart. Tommy hasn’t shown any of
those attributes in his three years in EPW. It’s time he either
steps up and shows some heart or gets the hell out of the way
for the young guys who do have it.” Cartel’s refusal to wrestle
while injured earlier this year set something off in his
trainer. And now at Evolution Cartel must defeat Carnage if he
wishes to continue being trained by the former EPW champion. I,
the INSIDER, think that Tommy has the ability to defeat his
mentor. He is a big, strong and agile young man who has shown
flashes of brilliance over the past few years. But he will need
more than that to beat Carnage who has done it all in EPW. He
will need heart.
Well that is all people. That is all the news that I, the
INSIDER, see fit to print. See you all at Evolution. |
