Dupree Cup Initial Sign Ins

[TH]

We have five feds interested in sending teams to the Dupree Cup Tournament so far, which is good for the threads having been up only three days. Over half to my minimum goal, can't ask for more than that.

So, without further ado...

War Zone Wrestling: They're the only team who've confirmed their entire roster thus far. They'll be sending Ice Cold, Brian Stinberg, Hunter McKay and the Wolf.

Atlantic Wrestling Club: Several AWC superstars have put their name in the hat to represent their club. No one has stepped up as captain to choose four, but folks such as Pierce Lavelle, Paddy O'Shea and Red Rock have come forth with interest.

New Alberta Professional Wrestling: Another team that has more than four people aiming to get in. Team captain Diego Ibarra there might be some qualifying matches to make the NAPW team. We saw what D! and Ravager could do at the last two TEAM events... what's in store from the rest of the roster? It's sure to be good.

Legacy of Champions: Andrew (Ulysis Solian's handler) has promised me that he and Dan are going to get a team together. We know Solian will be there, but who else have they got? Malik Roland? He's expressed interest. Whoever else, we don't know, but we do know LoC will bring it. They're the hottest fed around, and I'm sure they want to lay claim to the Dupree Cup and the bragging rights attached.

Extreme Universal Wrestling Corporation: You know EUWC is going to be gunning for the Dupree Cup, as Chad was one of their brightest stars and most beloved handlers. Like AWC and NAPW, they have plenty of wrestlers chomping at the bit, but who will be named to the team? Damian Stone? Classy Mike C? Rocko Daymon? Hawkeye? Who knows, but count on them to make a big splash.

Message Board Entertainment: MBE has confirmed their entry and their team. The legendary Spoiler, the Asian Wonder Hida Yakamo, IrishRed and WhiteNoise. This will be a formidable team for anyone to beat.

 

[TH]

no brand Wrestling: nbW has thrown their hat into the ring, and they're in the process of putting a team together as we speak. They'll be looking to show everyone that they're the true diamonds in the rough of the angle fed community, and they'll give anyone they face a run for their money.

 

[TH]

EUWC has decided their team will consist of Angel of Death, Jay Smash, "Classy" Mike C and Nero. Damian Stone will be their coach/manager. T. Waring and Paul Doom have been named alternates.

NAPW also has decided on a tenative team, depending on finalization of the start date. We'll keep their announcement under wraps until things get settled completely

 

[TH]

Empire Pro Wrestling and New Era of Wrestling, two mainstays on the FWC community, have confirmed entry of teams into the Dupree Cup. Both teams are still in the process of confirming their teams. As JR would say, business is indeed picking up.

 

[TH]

NAPW has confirmed their team of...

Ravager, who's no stranger to TEAM events and a former NAPW World Champion himself.
"The Nexus One" Rex Caliber, another former NAPW World Champion who's been moonlighting as a ref recently
"Stylin'" Kyle Roberts, four time former and current co-holder of the NAPW Tag Team Championships with his partner "The Beast" Bruce Richards
Patrick Bickle, who, and I quote Diego here, "makes Sabu look like your mom"

Their alternates will be the aforementioned Richards and the current Provincial Champion "The Lemondrop Kid" Lloyd Rees

 

[TH]

A1E also has announced their team to consist of:

James Irish, a former Cyber and Triple Star Champion, and one of the most over faces in A1E history
Big Dog, who is the heart and soul of A1E, one if its greatest Champions
Andrew ****in' Gilkison, a two-time former Cyber Champion and one of the hardest working stars in A1E today
Troy Douglas, relative newcomer to A1E, but eager to take up the banner nonetheless

And in the shock of the day... BEAST has signed on to be an alternate for the A1E team, temporarily putting a hiatus on... his hiatus to defend the honor of A1E

 

[TH]

LoC has submitted their lineup, and boy is it a doozy:

Derecho - The current Legacy Champion is definitely ready to represent LoC
Ulysis Solian - No stranger to TEAM events, the artist formerly known as Suicide will be the silent threat
Turk - The lord of the Underground will make sure the more extreme side of LoC makes a dent
Ryan Billows - An ODT finalist, Billows will most definitely help team LoC along its quest to victory

Alternates are Kevin Kenwright and Malik Roland

Ultimate Championship Wrestling's team has also been finalized:

Adam Benjamin - He could have represented EUWC or EPW, but the UCW US Champion is going to fight under Ken Cloverleaf's banner
Cameron Cruise - The Crippler is out to prove that UCW is the place to be
John Doe - The former amnesia patient has made an impact on UCW in the short time he's been there, and he hopes to make it for the fed in the tournament
The Sergeant - Another one who could have repped EPW, Sarge will definitely be one of the keys to UCW's victory

Nakhita Dahaka and The First are your alternates.

 

[TH]

New Era of Wrestling has submitted their lineup! Here they are:

Larry Tact - The first NEW World Heavyweight Champion has recently returned and now will carry the banner into battle against all comers.

Mr. Entertainment - The most entertaining man in NEW and the TV Champ, Mr. E is definitely going to bring his A-game.

Chaos - He's rough, mean, tough and extreme. The Prodigy Classic Extreme Champion will no doubt add an element of toughness to the team.

HAL - He's NEW's newest roster member, and he hopes to make a name for himself and for his company. Some may call him a computer geek, but I just call him techincally proficient

Jason Payne is the lone alternate for now.

 

[TH]

Looks like Frankie Scott and Steven Shane have dropped their alternate roles in UCW and NEW respectively to take up a better offer...

Because EPW's roster is finalized!

Dan Ryan - The fed's owner is stepping out of the luxury box and into the ring to take up arms for his peasants... errr employees!
Joey Melton - The man is a legend, there's no other way to put this. He'll definitely add seasoning and punch to a loaded EPW roster.
Shane - He's won gold elsewhere, but now he's flying the EPW flag, and he makes this team... Sensational
Scott - He's burying the hatchet with Ryan and bringing his style and flair to the EPW team. He makes this team... Phenomenal

 

[TH]

AWC's team is finalized:

Chainz - The sickest bastard in wrestling today and the holder of AWC's Countdown Trophy, he makes team AWC dangerous.

Red Rock - He's the Relentless Champion and he's also got one really long winning streak going for him. He hopes to keep taht going through interfed competition as well.

Paddy O'Shea - A former Tag Champion and one of AWC's most revered stars, the Gypsy throws his hat into the ring to defend AWC's honor.

Mike Wade - AWC's Captain... he's the only Pure Triple Champion in the fed's history. He also came out of retirement just for this event.

 

[TH]

We also got word before the deadline last night that NFW would field a team. Yes, you read that right... New Frontier Wrestling is fielding a team. God help us all

Also, a relatively unknown new fed, Rio De Janerio Wrestling, has thrown their hat into the ring. Representing their team will be:

The Brazilian Disaster - Not much is known about this wrestler except that he's mute save some grunts and slobbers. He has handlers who tranq him whenever he's too rowdy. Has been compared to both Blanka from Street Fighter and Mike Tyson without his meds.

Ronaldodinho - A former soccer star turned wrestler, he's wiry and ready to go.

"The Miracle Baby" Jaco Patterson - His mother claims that his father is Pat Patterson. Now you know why he's a miracle baby.

Joe McManus - He's a tourist who was kidnapped on vacation during Carnivale. Sold into black market slavery, he won his freedom through illegal pitfighting. Now he wrestles professionally in Brazil instead of going home. Go fig.

 

[TH]

And finally, NFW's team:

Kin Hiroshi - The Muffin Man may have a few substance abuse problems going on, but that's jsut the kind of wrestler NFW wants representing it! All kidding aside, Kin's ready to fight for NFW in their first foray into interfed activity.

Jason Payne - He's putting his differences with NFW brass aside to compete for them. Maybe by leading the charge to take home the Dupree Cup and gaining respect for NFW, he'll gain more respect in house.

WildStar - Announcer turned wrestler, he's looking to bring his Five Star Style back into the TEAM arena by bringing the Cup home to NFW.

Lone Wolf - He may be ashamed to be a Native American, but he's not ashamed of his affiliation with NFW. He's the wild card of the team, but no doubt, he's ready to wrestle in the name of the New Frontier.

 

[TH]

A few changes.

Anton Assault replaces Mike Wade on the AWC team.

Rocko Daymon has been added to A1E's team as an alternate.

Nova has been offered an alternate spot on NFW's team, and we're awaiting word on whether he'll accept or not.
