Editor's Note: Forgiveness please! JTF!'s crack staff let this golden nugget behind... And they wonder why I only pay them $5.00/day!
Only days remain until the biggest show in Rumble Pro history as we determine the first Rumble Pro world champion in history!
It's been a busy few weeks for Rumble Pro officials who are preparing for "Final Four" on Sunday, March 28, from the Woodlands Ballroom in Fortune Bay Resort and Casino in Tower, Minnesota. Tickets sold out in record time for this show, so expect all 350 seats filled next Sunday, as well as many watching live through our website.
A new poll is up at rumblepro.proboards27.com, asking fans who will become the first ever Rumble Pro world champion. Will it be Justin Kell? Trevor Rodgers? Jack Ripper? Travis Cade? Go to the boards and vote!
The Rumble Pro schedule for April is set, as we will be running shows on April 10 (from Coleraine, Minnesota) April 24 (back in the Fairground Arena in Hibbing, Minnesota). The May schedule will be out soon.
April 10 is shaping up to be a huge show, as Rumble Pro will stage a one night tournament to determine the first ever Rumble Pro world tag team champions. We will also hear from the new Rumble Pro world champion, who is set to make his first title defense at the 4/24 show.
Add Madison J Valentine and Tony Antony as a team that will challenge for the Rumble Pro tag team titles. After two great matches with each other, these two have certainly earned respect for one another.
Jonathan Smith is still out indefinitely with a neck injury sustained after Lark Fenriz powerbombed him through a table.
Frank Knight is said to be very depressed that Ben Tuckwell has left Rumble Pro. He hopes he can find someone else to become his new "play mate" on 3/28. Say what you will about Knight, but the man is talented in the ring and sports a dangerous mean streak.
Rumble Pro will most likely debut a new ranking system after the 3/28 or 4/10 shows. Chronic has stated that the only ways to receive a world title shot in Rumble Pro will be:
1) Holding the #1 contender's cup
2) Beating the champion in a non-title match
3) Rare special circumstances
That's it for this week - check out the lineups and upcoming schedule below!
==================================================
Rumble Pro - Final Four
DATE: Sunday night, March 28
LOCATION: Woodlands Ballroom at the Fortune Bay Casino in Tower, MN
Here it is! The biggest card in Rumble Pro's short history! We will once again be in the Woodlands Ballroom in Fortune Bay Resort and Casino in Tower, Minnesota for Rumble Pro - Final Four!
CHRIS CHRONIC has announced that anyone interfering in matches during this show will be suspended for a month from Rumble Pro!
The show will kick off with a _HUGE_ seven man gauntlet match! The seven contestants will randomly draw #'s 1-7, and enter in that order. The first two men will square off in a one on one match, with the winner moving on, and so on. The winner of this gauntlet match will certainly be a favorite to be in line for a world title shot sometime down the road, so the stakes are high? And who will be in this match? We will see the debuting "SON OF SATAN" LUCIFER MAGNUSSON, CIX KILLMORE, MAXIS CENDRES, "THE WOLF" LARK FENRIZ, TONY ANTONY, MADISON J VALENTINE, and "AMERICAN NIGHTMARE" TERRY BRODY! Valentine and Brody have been at each others' throats since February 27, but will they get a chance to battle it out here? Lark Fenriz is desperate to get a world title shot after coming so close to winning the 2/29 Rumble. Tony Anony is always looking to make an impact. Maxis Cendres has looked great so far, how will he fare one on one? We have many questions to be answered, and one hell of a gauntlet match to witness on March 28!
SCOTT STARRING came close to beating Travis Cade on 2/29, but came up just a bit short. On 3/28, VAN WILD will return to team with Starring to take on the debuting tag team HELL'S ANGELS! All the tag matches in the evening will help determine the seeding for the Rumble Pro tag team title tournament that will take place in April. Can Hell's Angels win an impressive debut, or can Wild get Starring back on track? Find out on 3/28!
In a showcase match, DOM DONOVAN of Rumble Pro's newest tag team the Cumshot Feminists will take on TEDDY DIABLO! Can the high flyer get his first Rumble Pro win, or will Donovan and "Crib Death" take him out? Find out at Final Four!
On 2/27, GANGSTA'S HEAVEN attacked AFTERNOON DELIGHT and took their place in the eight man tag match at the top of the show. The teams brawled during the Rumble Pro Rumble as well, and Chris Chronic has booked a match between the teams on 3/28 to settle the score! Can the Lee's get their revenge, or will Gangsta's Heaven continue their impressive debut?
The battle between REAL XTREME and WEREWOLF GREGORSON will continue on 3/28! This time Lance Williams and James Robinson will be in tag team competition for the first time in Rumble Pro, facing Gregorson and his MYSTERY PARTNER? Who will Gregorson find to team with him on 3/28? How will Real Xtreme do now that they are in the tag team ranks? Find out on 3/28!
FRANK KNIGHT is depressed - why? Because BEN TUCKWELL has quit Rumble Pro Wrestling after the controversial finish to their match on 2/29. However, Knight has told us that he plans to go to the ring on 3/28 and make an open challenge to anyone in the back to face him? Will anyone step to the plate? Find out at Final Four!
And finally, we have the main event. The first ever RUMBLE PRO WORLD TITLE MATCH! This match will be a four corners elimination match with no time limit between four great, yet very different, competitors. Watch as "LAST PALADIN" JUSTIN KELL, TREVOR RODGERS, "GENOCIDE" JACK RIPPER, and "NATURAL" TRAVIS CADE battle it out for the gold! Not only is the title on the line, but many questions are left to be answered. What is the relationship between Rodgers and Ripper? What about Kell and Rodgers? Can Cade get revenge on Jack Ripper? Will Kell hold a grudge for Cade eliminating him from the Rumble? One thing we know for sure...this will be one _hell_ of a match, with the biggest prize in independent wrestling on the line. Don't miss Rumble Pro - Final Four!
