Johnny Cockstrong signs with AWESOME. Big tag match
announced for Era of AWESOMEness Begins
Nov. 24 --Vice President of Talent Relations Bodhi Lebowski is pleased to announce the signing of Johnny Cockstrong to AWESOME.
"Johnny Cockstrong is one of the most popular and talented young wrestlers on the indy scene," said Mr. Lebowski. "For those who have never seen Cockstrong wrestle he is a superhero with superpowers like no other. We think Johnny's gimick, while slightly controversial, is all in good fun and will prove to be quite the crowd pleaser."
"Johnny is exacty the kind of Star we want to sign for AWESOME," added Mr. Lebowski "He is truly an Elite Star Of Mat Entertainment. Johnny's gimmick is one of the most totally Entertaining things I've ever seen, yet at the same time his wrestling is truly Elite."
Cockstrong is an international superstar having competed not just throughout the northeast of the United States but also in Canada. He wrestles a high flying cutting edge style that has brought him much success.
"I'm very excited to sign with AWESOME," said Mr. Cockstrong. "I expect competing in front of the fans of the Jersey Shore to be a lot of fun; and most of all I expect the competition in AWESOME to be top notch. I intend to be one of the best Stars in the sport of pro wrestling and to be the best, you have to beat the best."
"I have no doubt that Johnny will be as successful as he wants to be," said Mr. Lebowski. "He is an immediate threat to compete for all four of our titles that we will eventually have here in AWESOME. Johnny can fly with the best cruiserweights, would be a great representative for our company's top secret new media title and can wrestle at the Elite level needed to contend for the Championship of AWESOME. And with his trusty superhero sidekick Soy Boy, that's one dynamic duo that could make quite a splash in the tag division too!"
Soy Boy is one of the most promising rookies in all of professional wrestling. He has the size of heavyweight, yet performs many of the same daredevil maneuvers of the cruiserweights. And with Cockstrong guiding his career, his future potential is unlimited.
With the signing of Johnny Cockstrong, Mr. Lebowski has officially announced the fourth match for The Era of AWESOMEness Begins on Jan. 6. 2007 at the Seaside Heights American Legion Post 351, 1400 Bay Blvd., Seaside Heights NJ 08751 (7pm belltime). Johnny Cockstrong & Soy Boy will take on Latin Revolution in a tag team match.
"These are the kind of fresh exciting match-ups that makes AWESOME so, well, awesome," said Mr. Lebowski. "In one corner we have two young, popular, high flying athletes; then in the other we have an experienced international tag team from the Caribbean with solid wrestling fundamentals whose politcal views bring controversy whenever they compete in this country. This is what the art of tag team wrestling is all about and I think this match has show-stealing potential."
Previously announced for the Era of AWESOMEness Begins show is an Opportunity of a Lifetime Battle Royal, a Four Winds of Destiny match pitting Great Cerenzio vs Steve Camacho vs Radical Robby Morrison vs Sensational One; and a singles match pitting Freak vs Scotty Ice

Latin Revolution signs with AWESOME
Nov. 21 - Vice President of Talent Relations Bodhi Lebowski is pleased to announce the signing of one of professional wrestling's top tag teams to the roster of American Wrestling's Elite Stars Of Mat Entertainment. Tony Torres of the Domican Republic and Antonio Rivera of Puerto Rico, collectively known as Latin Revolution, will make their debut with AWESOME at The Era of AWESOMEness Begins event on Jan. 6 in Seaside Heights at American Legion Post 351, 1400 Bay Blvd., Seaside Heights NJ 08751.
"When I took the job of Vice President of Talent Relations for AWESOME, I made a commitment to our executive board and our fans to sign the very best talent in the world for our brand. As the first international stars to sign with AWESOME, Latin Revolution's presence on the roster will open up new markets for us as we continue to grow as well as give our fans a chance to see a variety of wrestling styles on the same show," said Mr. Lebowski.
Torres and Rivera are a finely honed tag team who have teamed together for years. While their tactics and their political views are rarely popular with fans; their success in the ring cannot be denied. The duo has held numerous tag team titles in northern New Jersey since first entering the United States from their native land. The Era of AWESOMEness Begins Show on Jan. 6 will mark the team's first appearance on the Jersey Shore.
"The signing of Latin Revolution means AWESOME will have Elite Stars in our tag team division as well as our singles ranks," stated Mr. Lebowski. "My office is currently reviewing videotape and contracts with several other top level tag teams. We anticipate making an announcement on Latin Revolution's opponents for The Era of AWESOMEness Begins soon."
Besides Torres and Rivera, the Latin Revolution unit also includes manager Eloy Fiesta of Cuba. Fiesta is an accomplished wrestler, who held tagteam gold during his wrestling career and now gives his charges the benefit of his experience.
Latin Revolution declined to comment for this article; claiming they cannot trust the American media to tell their side of any story fairly.
In other news, Mr. Bodhi has stated that his office has issued a ringside permit to Brian Harley. Harley, a 6-foot, 8-inch; near 300 lb behometh; funds his motorcycle habit with a bodyguard for hire business.
"Look it's simple, I enjoy two things in life," said Mr. Harley. "Riding my chopper, and beating people up. At AWESOME they allow me to beat people up without getting arrested and I get paid to do it. The way I see it if anyone needs some protection all they gotta do is pony up the cash, and they can have Brian Harley in their corner. And if they need someone's bones broken well I got no problem with that as long as the check's clear."
With Mr. Harley having his own ringside permit to stand at ringside for any client that pays his fee; chances are several of the more unscrupulous members of the AWESOME roster will be funding his motorcyle habit for years to come.
Eight Matches will be held when "The Era of AWESOMEness begins!" including:
A 20 man over the top rope "Opportunity of a Lifetime" Battle Royal. The winner of the battle royal recieves a one year guaranteed roster spot with AWESOME and becomes the first offical entrant in March's tournament to crown the first Champion of AWESOME.
Plus in the first ever "Four Winds of Destiny" match a brand new type of title for the 21st Century will be crowned
when these four men face off The Great Cerenzio (w/ Cammo) vs Steve Camacho vs Radical Robby Morrison vs Sensational One (w/ JADEN)
Also
Johnny Cockstrong & Soy Boy vs Latin Revolution (w/ Eloy Fiesta)
The Freak (with Freya) vs. Scotty "The Outpatient" Ice
More Matches to be announced soon including a cruiserweight title match
