Last Saturday evening was the Grand finale of the 3rd edition of Wrestling Academy. The event took place in Saint-Léonard at the magnificent Leonardo Da Vinci Center, very close to my home. Jonathan Divertissement (that’s me!) went there to see if the man he consider to be the best independent wrestler in the country Jeremy Prophet would be able to win the competition for a second time.
There will be 4 winners, 2 women and 2 men, that will win 10 000$ each and the opportunity to wrestle in Mexico and Japan; pretty amazing!
The show is about to begin! Jacques Rougeau briefly tells us how the evening will unfold until the rock band Atomic Train plays their famous song Playground; It’s the start of the festivities!
Out of competition: CHARLIE HUBLEY versus “STEEL CITY SAINT” VINNIE DaVINCI
Eliminated from the competition and with nothing left to lose, the turbulent Charlie Hubley tries to settle scores with judge Tony Gatillo!
Once in the ring, the colorful Charlie, still pissed off, wrestles in a very vicious manner, making full use of the ring to abuse the Saint of the City of Steel.
Vinnie DaVinci honors the Center that bears his name by demonstrating all the know-how of his educated feet, as good old Jim Ross would say! Vinnie’s trained legs then serve to trip Hubley into the cables for the 412*! The Saint climbs the cables and wins with a crossbody!
*This is the Pittsburgh area code! I did my research.
WINNER: « STEEL CITY SAINT » VINNIE DaVINCI!
Out of competition: GISÈLE SHAW versus KAT VON HEEZ
Gisele manages to counter a back suplex by hitting Kat with knees, but she can’t do anything against a devastating piledriver! BOOM!
Von Heez places Shaw to flatten her with a Senton from the 2nd cable, but the Quintessential Diva has the flair to get out of the way before looking like a pancake!
Shaw blocks a few hits and counterattacks with a springboard Gisèle Cutter followed by a Samoan Driver! That’s good for a 2 count. Shaw runs in and BANG! A Harley Race flying knee!
WINNER: GISELE SHAW!
BAMBI HALL versus « RELENTESS » RYLIE ROSE
We start off in style with superb fisherwoman suplex courtesy of Bambi Hall who shows us that she is very athletic even if she is built strong! Rylie regains the advantage in the match with a Code Breaker. Relentless comes out of the ring and kicks Bambi’s head between the cables and follows up with a Drive By! POW POW!
Rose lands a souplex on Hall and gets a 2 count! Rylie puts Bambi in the cables for a Superplex, but Hall gets out of it and applies a Gory Bomb! BOOM!
WINNER: BAMBI HALL!
Judge Tony Gatillo wanted to be the first to speak. He finds that Bambi has improved during the competition and offers his management services to Rylie if she is ever interested because he sees so much potential in her. Ronnie Garvin was also very impressed by Rose who was very combative even if she is less heavy, because in wrestling, weight makes a big difference.
Ronnie adds to Bambi’s attention that he wouldn’t want to be her husband, because she seems like a real tough gal who could beat him up!
We will know who will win the two $10,000 prizes (and the chance to fight in Mexico and Japan) after the next fight, with the judges having to see the 4 participants perform before making their decision. It will be the same for men later.
« THE LITTLE MANIC » ZONDRA LEE versus « INTANGIBLE ZOË SAGER
Little Manic doesn’t waste a second and attacks Zoe before she even has a chance to step foot in the ring. Zondra tries to hurt Sager’s back while the crowd calls her a cheater. Lee then pushes Zoe towards the ring and the bell rings; the match has officially begun!
The crowd is split on who should win this match! Zoe takes the upper hand with a series of devastating kicks, including a face wash of Zondra in the corner delivered with such passion that the Intangible one found herself out of the ring!
We are treated to a very impressive Superplex of the 3rd cable from Sager! Zoe then puts Zondra on her shoulders and drops her in a electric chair bomb while holding her legs. She gets a 2 count and just can’t believe it! And neither do we!
Little Manic gets up and slaps Zoe before giving her a victorious Kryptonite Crunch while Saint-Léonard boos her copiously!
WINNER: « THE LITTLE MANIC » ZONDRA LEE!
WHICH 2 WOMEN WRESTLERS WON THE COMPETITION?
Mr. Gagnon from Batteries Expert reads us the name of the winner… She cried a lot, overwhelmed with emotions!
This is the young 18 year old prodigy « Relentless » Rylie Rose!
The 3 remaining participants are impatiently waiting for the sponsor to read the name of the 2nd winner of Wrestling Academy…
It’s « Little Manic » Zondra Lee!
KING BRIGHT OF THE 6 (KB6) versus « THE PROSPECTOR » WES BARKER
KB6 breaks the crowd’s fun by putting an end to the Prospector’s fine tightrope walking display by making him fall on his shoulders, but is unable to apply a hold. Barker gets out of it and places KB6 on his back in turn, but the King escapes with a blindside! The momentum is constantly changing in this frenzied match!
King Bright of the 6 wants to go for a back suplex outside the ring, but Wes gets out of it and kicks him in the face! Barker then places KB6 in the most appropriate place to receive his Cactus elbow drop! BANG! BANG!
King Bright of the 6 succeeds in a Powerbomb without releasing hold on Barker, and lifts the Prospector to subject him to a second one… SWERVE! Barker lands a Frankensteiner and holds the shoulders of the powerful KB6 on the ground for a 3 count!
WINNER: « THE PROSPECTOR » WES BARKER!
Hand of Stone Ronnie Garvin: « It’s a tough job to decide who is the best, who works the hardest, who has the most heart. Many, when caught in a bad situation, simply give up and move on. They let all go. Fantastic! I really liked it, you both have a great career ahead of you. It’s going to be very hard to decide. »
« CHISELED » CHAD DANIELS versus GIANT ORION versus JEREMY PROPHET
The only remaining representative of Quebec enters dressed for war: Jeremy is so muscular that he could be on the poster for the next Rambo!
Prophet: « The outside must reflect what is inside, and I would go to war for these people any day of the week! To win the war, to kill our adversaries, we need two things and I have them both We need two big weapons of mass destruction (he said, flexing his enormous arms) and a good pair of balls!
« Orion, everyone’s afraid of getting beaten up, but I’ve been beaten up before by guys bigger and badder than you and you know what they have in common? They all ended up on their backs and were all the same size.
And Chad! I’ll show you something. I have something you don’t have. Do you want to be called Chisel? Compared to me, you’re as chiseled as a featherless chicken! When I’m done with you in the ring, you’ll look like a headless chicken! And considering you have no facial expression, no one will be able to tell the difference!
Tonight, I keep my promise: I will win Wrestling Academy for myself, for my family and for the entire province of Quebec!”
The Giant demonstrates his skills in the ring as he performs a Japanese planchette on Jeremy! Orion then demonstrates his power to all who might have doubted it as he lifts Prophet up at arm’s length in a military press and throws him at Daniels!
Chiseled then manages to bring down Giant Orion with a John Woo-style dropkick from the 2nd cable! The Giant finds himself in the corner and Chad takes the opportunity to launch a series of attacks which end spectacularly with an elbow so fiery that the Chiseled one went over the cables to land dangerously in the stairs!
Jeremy jumps out of the ring and fall into Giant Orion in a Frankensteiner! « Chiseled » rushes away, and decides to run again to increase his momentum… and poses proudly in the middle of the ring!
Meanwhile, the leader of the Black Québécois climbs to the edge of the ring and executes an Asai moonsault on Orion with such speed that Prophet finds himself at the bottom of the stage among the spectators!
The Giant sends his two opponents over the 3rd cable with a double clothesline! Giant Orion launches into the ropes and jumps over the cables onto Daniels and Prophet! Incredible for a man of such size!
Black Dynamite gets out of a choke hold with a solid slap, followed by two big rights that Orion takes before responding with the Falcon’s Arrow for a 2 count! The Giant then places Jeremy in the corner and applies a vicious Boston Crab to him between the ropes.
Jeremy is on the 3rd cable and executes a breathtaking hold that could be described as a reverse 450 with a senton finish! Completely insane! The height of astonishment, Giant Orion escapes at the count of 2! Chiseled Chad Daniels takes advantage of the general surprise to climb the cables and surprise Prophet with a victorious “Chiseled” Cutter.
WINNER: « CHISELED » CHAD DANIELS!
WHICH 2 MEN WRESTLERS WON THE COMPETITION?
Former NWA World Champion Ronnie Garvin gives his opinion on the match: « I’m beyond impressed! I can’t believe my eyes! I’ve never seen a match like that. I’ve seen matches, and this is the best one I’ve ever seen, I think. »
Rawdon Mayor Raymond Rougeau: « I was blown away by this match! I wish you could have seen Ronnie Garvin’s face when you were doing your moves in the ring. This match could have been a great main event in any big city in the world.
Here is the announcement of the first winner…
The first winner is… Giant Orion!
Drum roll before we announce the name of the last winner of this 3rd edition of Wrestling Academy…
