Asian Experience

When Egos Collide



The above photo was taken several days ago in Hong Kong during a Hong Kong Wrestling Federation Monday Massive televised show.In a match that saw ex-HKWF World Heavyweight Champion Monarch thoroughly defeat rookie Magatuso Naruse,the United Japan Wrestling's Super Heavyweight Champion,Bushido,made an unexpected appearance.

After Monarch (newly hair trimmed) quickly dispensed of the rookie Naruse,Monarch sent a message out to the UJW that he would "dismantle" it's champion and gain the UJW Super Heavyweight Championship in his quest to become the first ever Combined Championship Wrestling's Triple Crown Champion.The "Wrestling Franchise" then began to torture the young wrestler in and out of the ring.

Once Monarch delivered his Imperial Impalement on Naruse,the UJW Super Heavyweight Champion came through the ground and faced off with Monarch.Nothing but words took place as security and officails were quick to restrain the two.

Speculation is that the two will face off at the upcoming CCW super event being dubbed as "Civil Wargames".But at the time of this reporting manys things are up in the air for that event.

A Tale of Two Dragons



The hottest rumour on the Net today has got to be the relationship between the "Jade Dragon" Sincere and the "Young Dragon" Symon.Whether or not if they are father and son,Symon has already distinguished himself as a top notch caliber wrestler in GZW.The nineteen year old young man has already held the coveted Intercontinental Championship within his first month into the company.That act alone has insured him a title shot at GZW's highest reward,the Heavyweight Championship.

By following the tutelage of the Deputy Commissioner (regardless if there is a blood connection between the two),Symon has gained a invaluable mentor in GZW's most decorated wrestler.Sincere's mat wars in the GZW are well documented.From his long standing feud with his brother-in-law Nathaniel Davis to the bitter feud with T-Rex,Sincere has accomplished almost everything.Making the quiet transition from wrestler to GZW executive,Sincere is still living up to his billing of professor of psychological warfare and mastermind of mindgames.

As a reporter I will not give any credence to the rumour mill,but base my reports on facts.It shouldn't matter whether or not Symon and Sincere are related in anyway as both are great in their role to each other.Sincere can continue to impose his will in the ring with a great young talent executing his orders while Symon will flourish in championship mode with a genius of a veteran like Sincere guiding his career.

Glad He's Alive



I turned on the television the other night,of course it was on GZW 24 hour television,and who did I see but the Fairplay Enforcer himself,Sho "Firefly" Murakame.I thought I had turned on the television to the summer of 2001.

It was good to see that the former PeaceKeeper is doing fine and looks to be in top wrestling shape.Maybe this is a little foreshadow of things to come?Could GZW 2K1 see the return of the late Tate Troublesome's best friend?

I'm just glad to know that Murakame is doing fine and alive and kicking.But what about "Far East Beast" Gideon?When was the last anyone heard from the HKWF legend?
