The Story

Rude Boy was one of a kind in the Pacific Wrestling Association. He made his PWA in ring debut on April 16, 2001 against Oozie in a Mimic Match. From that point on Rude Boy ran over every PWA superstar in his way.

Within a month of his debut Rude Boy had already captured the Pacific International Championship from Ray Blaze and the two had a feud that lasted well over a month including what was one of the greatest matches ever seen in an e-fed, the 60 Minute Iron Man Match at Future Shock on May 18, 2001.

After a record setting forty nine day reign as the Pacific International Champion on June 11 from Spokane, Washington Rude Boy vacated the the championship belt and moved on to the IWF, sending shockwaves through the entire organization.

And, cementing his place in Pacific Wrestling Association history!


Colleague Comments


Alan Worthington - President of the IWF

"Scott Ziolko, a man famous for doing a certain In The Zone which was the most innovative column in IWF/PWA history. A man who handled superheel Glamourous Grant Keaton but in my eyes, Scott Ziolko will always be remembered as the Original Smartass, Rude Boy. A man who was unstoppable in his PWA days and was unphased by promotion to the IWF. Rude Boy was one of the best wrestlers I had the pleasure of having in my federation. So well done Scott, now your name has been immortalised in PWA history."


C Mac - Webmaster/Former President

"As Rude Boy's former president I would just like to say that it was an honour to read his roleplays, original and always entertaining. He was as true a champion as the PWA has ever seen for 49 straight days and when that reign came to an end so did one of the greatest chapters of PWA history! And, it was that chapter in particular that has been the cornerstone of what this fed is today... a damn success!! Thanks, Scott!"


Drew Melnick - Steve Sharpe/Wild Dawg

"FUNNY! There has never been a PWA RP'er that has really made me laugh out load - except for Rude Boy. In most Rude Boy RP's I nearly fell out of my chair laughing. Not only is Rude Boy a great character, but Scott Ziolko is one of the nicest handlers I've ever spoken with. Rude Boy is the greatest PWA RP'er ever."


Tim Longley - Maelgrim

"Scott, I cannot say with any greater certainty that I am glad we never feuded. The startling originality with which Rude Boy developed, left me gaping one second, and roaring with laughter the next. In the Zone was a brilliant column, and it was a shame to see it finish. It is a great shame that you could no longer continue your work in e-fedding, but you will always be welcomed back."


Mark Anthony - Iceberg

"Let's see where I can start with Rude Boy, all I know is that he is one funny guy. I love his roleplays. Not just for the comedy but for the genius of the whole roleplay. He always keeps new things coming and was a great PacInt champion. I loved his feud with Ray Blaze, albeit I hate Ray Blaze. But kudos to the Rude One! "


Mike Bauer - Da MAB

"Without a shadow of a doubt, the best damn wrestler I have ever stepped into the ring with. He was in the ring with me for my first ever ladder match and I had the honor of fighting him in his last ever PWA match. Any person who holds the PWA International Gold knows for a fact that they will always be in his shadow."
