2 MORE entrants announced for BEST OF THE BEST 8!
Over it's first seven years in existence, Best of the Best has become known as one of the premier tournaments in all of wrestling. Each year, the world's top Light Heavyweights convene in South Philly to display both their aerial, and mat expertise in proving that they are indeed among the most elite wrestlers in the world. From WINGER at the first ever Best of the Best, to B-BOY, SONJAY DUTT, MIKE QUACKENBUSH, RUCKUS AND JOKER... Best of the Best has a track record of taking a star, and making him into a Superstar... who will be this year's BREAKOUT star?
Let's take a look at the 2 newest entrants into this year's Tournament:
#10 - Drake Younger (UVU Champion, 2nd BOTB appearance)
He personifies courage. Drake Younger is the hungry, fearless, Ultraviolent future of CZW. He is one of the toughest and most dangerous wrestlers in the world, and has the TOURNAMENT of DEATH trophy to back it up. What many don't know however is that Drake Younger is a man of many talents in the wrestling ring. At last year's BOTB, Drake went toe to toe with eventual winner Joker in what was considered by many to be the match of the night. This year, Drake returns to BOTB with one goal in mind, to become the first person EVER to capture both the TOD and BOTB trophy.
#11 - Scotty Vortekz (CZW Tag Champ, 2nd BOTB appearance)
Naptown Dragon Scotty Vortekz is one of CZW's most versatile wrestlers. He is the ultimate hybrid inside the ring, capable of mixing it up with the most deadly of Deathmatch opponents, partnering with Dustin Lee to take on the world's best Tag Teams, or tangling with the mat's top technicians, and he does it all well. Scotty Vortekz has most recently made his living in the tag team ranks, but on May 10th, the former CZW Jr. Heavyweight Champion returns to his roots, making his 2nd attempt at capturing the prestigious BEST OF THE BEST trophy.
Let's take a look at the entrants announced so far for this year's tournament...
#1 - PINKY SANCHEZ! (1st BOTB appearance)
In just a matter of months, the flamboyant Pinky Sanchez has become one of the most popular wrestlers in CZW history. He's primarily known for his contagious display of dancing prowess, something he flaunts in excess on his way to the ring, but there's more to the Pink one than meets the eye. Beyond the colorful and unorthodox pink and blue tights lies a very skilled competitor boasting such devastating maneuvers as the Shining-Heinie. Underestimate him, and you will join the rest in having your shoulders pinned to the mat by Pinky Sanchez.
Pinky gained entry into Best of the Best (and TOD) via his dramatic victory on April 5th in CZW's first ever "Winner Takes All" match. A strong performance on May 10th at BOTB could take Pinky one step closer to his dream of becoming CZW Jr. Heavyweight Champion.
#2 - The BLACK JESUS - SABIAN (CZW Jr.
Champ, 2nd BOTB appearance)
It almost seems like destiny. For over a year, Sabian's sole focus in wrestling has been to prove that he is the most talented Junior Heavyweight in all of wrestling. He eats, sleeps and breathes Combat Zone Wrestling, and nothing means more to him than Best of the Best. In recent years, the BOTB trophy has belonged to the BLKOUT. Two years ago, it was Ruckus, last year... Joker. If you ask the BLK JESUS, he'll tell you that the trophy is staying with BLKOUT again this year because like Robbie Mireno says... at Best of the Best... "YOU ALWAYS... BET ON BLACK". Will May 10th belong to Sabian, we shall see...
#3 - JOSH PROHIBITION (1st BOTB appearance)
He's been away for a while, but he's no stranger to the Combat Zone. Josh Prohibition is one of wrestling's youngest veterans, having wrestled for and held titles for countless promotions all over the world. While he has accomplished much in wrestling, there's still one thing that Josh Prohibition covets, and that is the BEST OF THE BEST trophy. On May 10th, he returns to CZW with that goal in mind.
#4 - CHUCK TAYLOR (2nd BOTB appearance)
He's extremely annoying, rude, and obnoxious. He's also kinda talented. In just a short period of time, Chuck Taylor has become one of the most talked about athletes in all of wrestling. He's traveled the world, pissed a lot of people off, and won countless titles along the way. Two things he's yet to capture however are the Best of the Best Trophy, and the CZW Jr. Heavweight Title. On May 10th, Chuck Taylor will look to solidify his name in CZW history as the BOTB 8 Champion.
#5 - RICOCHET (2nd BOTB appearance)
Ricochet is one of the most exciting young high-flyers in all of wrestling. His death and gravity defying flips and high-risk maneuvers have continually left fans saying "did you just see that?". Last year, he was impressive in his BOTB debut, advancing to the 2nd round. This year, the young flyer has plans on winning the whole thing.
#6 - DREW GULAK (1st BOTB appearance)
He's one of the hungriest young wrestlers in the country, and possibly the world. Over the last few years, Drew Gulak has grown from "the CZW student", to one of the most skilled and dangerous mat wrestlers in all of CZW. Gulak has made it known that his dream has always been to participate in... and win a Best of the Best tournament. On May 10th, Drew Gulak will have his first shot at making that dream a reality.
#7 - LUFISTO (1st BOTB appearance)
One of the hardest hitters in all of CZW, Lufisto has made history time and time again in the black and yellow ring. In 2006, she shocked the wrestling world when she became the first woman to hold a CZW title, pinning Kevin Steen to become the Iron Man Champion. On May 10th, she will make history again when she steps in the ring to become the first woman to participate in BEST OF THE BEST. If you ask Lufisto though, she'll tell you that she's going to make history in another way... by WINNING the whole thing.
#8 - STUPEFIED (1st BOTB appearance)
One half of the Super Smash Bros., Stupefied is one of the most exciting young wrestlers in the world. Stupefied has recently become a regular on the CZW roster, where he is best known for continually rewriting and redefining the laws of gravity. In just a short period of time, he has made quite a name for himself in his native Canada, but on May 10th, he will look to breakout in America by leaving the New Alhambra with the Best of the Best 8 trophy.
#9 - SPYRAL BKNY (1st BOTB appearance)
One of BOTB 8's more experienced participants, Spyral has made his presence felt since returning to CZW at 9 F'N Years. Having yet to hit the pay window since his return. SPYRAL comes to BOTB with a lot to prove. At 9 F'N YEARS, Spyral let a golden opportunity slip thru his fingers when he came up short in the Aerial Assault Match. On May 10th however, Spyral has vowed to take advantage of this, his opportunity to make history by winning BEST OF THE BEST 8.
In addition to the loaded BEST OF THE BEST tournament, May 10th will also feature some huge non-tournament contests, including:
NICK GAGE's CZW World Title OPEN CHALLENGE
DANNY HAVOC vs.
NICKY BENZ with Necro's TOD fate on the line!
