I was watching AAA (Mexican Wrestling) on the weekend they had a special shot in LA. I was surprised to see the likes of Kensu Suzuki, 6 Pac (Sean Waltman) & Konnan appearing. As well as a few other former WWE Mexican stars like Psicosis & Juentud Guerrera. It was fairly current because Konnan was able to walk with the assistants of a crutch.

It is well worth checking out. (And maybe not understanding Spanish is a good thing) Beciedes the wackyness, AAA not having a problem playing whatever the hell it wants for ring entrances themes. Woman that actually kick the crap out of each, women that wrestle there is a novel idea. Always worth watching although I usually forget its on Sundays.

FIST WRESTLING sent this in:

June 3 Results, Dingo still champ!

The atmosphere was beautiful, but the action turned ugly as FIST Wrestling presented New Generation Rising.
Our opening contest saw the debut of Nick Brubaker as he took on Brandon Espinosa who has been on a losing streak as of late. This was a back and forth battle, that saw Brubaker get his nose busted open by a knee in the corner by Espy. Brubaker, eyes welling up for the nose smash managed to pull it out with a backslide.

Next, the always outspoken Hunter Mathews took on Tyler Cook. This was a back and forth match that saw Cook get the duke. The crowd hated Mathews so much that it made it easy for Cook to get the crowd behind him, which helped in this victory.

Next, Adam Raw made a VERY impressive debut against someone who is so far undefeated in FIST, Jeremy Wyatt, who has beaten Tyler Cook twice. This match was the hard hitting gem of the night with the powerful Raw going tit for tat with the crafty Wyatt. After an impressive move that we didn't catch the name of, Raw pinned the now defeated Jeremy Wyatt.

Next Zero Gravity made their way tho the ring for what they thought was their match. Pumpernickel Enterprises made their way to the ring to inform ZG that their match was cancelled and they could go home. Pumpernickel called out Matt Sydal for being too scared of Dan Velten and The Future that he had locked himself in the bathroom and isn't coming out. Zero Gravity then grabbed the mic and informed everyone that they know Matt, and he isn't scared of GPE, in fact since ZG match was cancelled, it was suggested that GPE battle ZG and Matt Sydal. Pumpernickel laughed and gladly accepted.

Next, The LWA had a showcase of talent to hype up the June 30th show with Samoa Joe. The Euro Union managed tonight by Jimmy Falcon, battle the team of Two Big Black Guys, Dorian Victor and Gary J. The "Black Guys" got the win. Afterwards Dorian remined Joe that he better be ready for the beating of his life June 30th in House Springs.
In the last match before intermission, The FIST tag cups were defended by The Hybrids against a new team, Thrillhouse made up of Davey Vega and Ian Storm. The House was impressive but didn't have enough to handle both Hybrids and their lovely valets.

After intermission it was time for Gordon Pumpernickel Enterprises and it was time for a new addition to GPE. GP said he had the next star to pro wrestling about to join up and it was none other than, Brandon Espinosa?!?
Espy teamed with GPE to take on Zero Gravity (CJ Esparza and Bret Gakiya) teaming with Dragon's Gate and ROH Star Matt Sydal. The match started even with the momentum going each way several times. It seemed that everytime Sydal went to go for Velten, DV ducked out. Espy quickly was exposed as the weak link, and after the conclusion of this high volume, fast paced match, won when DV and The Future left ringside for Espy to get pinned, GP displayed how betrayed he was and had his cronies Velten and Future take it out on Espy.

Main event did not disappoint. Dingo took on Juggalo regular Marvelous Mitch Ryder in a barbedwire anything goes match. Two sides of the ring were wrapped in the mess that saw tables and chairs get involved. Dingo came out of the gate swinging. Mitch was busted open by the wire first, Dingo shortly after. As both men bled they circled the ring looking for more ways to destroy their opponent. The battle went hit for hit, gash for gash, until Mitch brought in the table. He set it up only to be placed on it himeself. Dingo hit a chair sault, an F-Bomb back senton then rolled the Juggalo up for the win. Another top notch show delivered to the St. Louis area.
We would like to thank the city of Mascoutah for having us and we will be returning to Mascoutah on Sunday July 29th As Mitch Ryder has vowed to return with a Juggalo buddy of his, CJ Otis will return, and there are a few more SURPRISES in store for our next outing. See you at ringside!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For Immediate Release...

The Rising Phoenix Wrestling Interview with Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran Johnny Dynamite

by Greg DeMarco

The Voice of RPW

Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran Johnny Dynamite made his RPW debut with Brandon Nitro on January 27. Since then, Johnny has become a favorite of RPW fans at each show. I recently sat down with Johnny Dynamite to conduct a face to face interview with this great talent.

Greg DeMarco: Thanks for sitting down with me today, Johnny. Tell me how you broke into the wrestling business.

Johnny Dynamite: I was a wrestler and football player in high school. I discovered Jesse Hernandez’s School of Hard Knocks during my junior year when I was 17. I’ve been to boot camp and trained to wrestle all over the world. No one has ever worked me harder than Jesse. He’s hands down the best trainer there is.

GDM: You’ve always spoke fondly about your relationship with Jesse. Tell me about the relationship you have with him.

JD: Jesse has been my trainer and my mentor in wrestling for eight years now. Jesse got me my first match, and has allowed me to wrestle all over the world. Without Jesse, I never would’ve been able to work my lifelong dream of being a wrestling superstar.

GDM: You say wrestling is your lifelong dream. When did you first know you wanted to be a pro wrestler?

JD: When I was 4 years old, my mother was trying to clean the house and I kept jumping all over the furniture. She finally sat me down in front of the TV, and when she turned it on, WWF Superstars was on. I remember seeing Dusty Rhodes and The Rockers. It was that day that I decided I wanted to be a pro wrestler.

GDM: I know you’ve had some experience outside of the US. Where have you wrestled internationally?

JD: I’ve had the chance to in Germany and Austria. German fans remind me of the fans in Arizona. They don’t focus on the technical expertise of a wrestling match, they care about being entertained, and react to who entertains them. Austria was an amazing time for me. I was there, wrestling in my Army fatigues, and they were cheering for a US soldier out there. I wasn’t sure how they’d react to that, so it was very surprising. I was originally scheduled to compete in Japan in 2001, but it was cancelled after September 11th.

GDM: Which leads us to your time with the military. Tell me about that.

JD: It’s always been a goal of mine to compete in Japan. Japanese wrestling has long been the measuring stick for the skill of a wrestler, and I wanted to show them what I had. When the show was cancelled, it had a big effect on me. 9/11 had a huge effect on me overall, and I felt it was my duty to enlist in the Army and fight for my country. The Army kept me active and in shape, and allowed me to see the world. I fought in Iraq, and was stationed in Bayji—which was Saddam Hussein’s home—for 13 months.

I’m very proud of serving my country, and everyone is really proud of the decision I made to enlist. My family has a long history with the military, and this is a personal source of pride for me, something I’ll always have.

GDM: How has your military service impacted your wrestling career?

JD: Since I couldn’t be a pro wrestler when I was in the military, I thought about wrestling all the time. Every sit-up, every push-up, everything I did increased my motivation to return to the ring better than when I left. The military also gave me the change to become skilled in boxing and ju-jitsu.

GDM: Now that you are out of the military, what do you see for your wrestling career?

JD: I’m training harder than ever, working hard to win championships and prove that I’m the best. Outside the ring, I want to finish college and be a good father. In the ring, I want to continue to work with NWA Pro’s Empire Wrestling Federation and Rising Phoenix Wrestling promotions. I want to entertain the fans—that’s what makes it a thrill every time I go out there.

GDM: You and Brandon Nitro form TNT, one of the top tag teams in RPW. How did that team get started?

JD: Brandon and I trained together at the School of Hard Knocks, and we also went to high school together. Jesse paired us together for training one day, and we immediately clicked. The rest is history. Jesse always talked about how explosive we were. That led to the TNT name. We were originally going to call ourselves the Blond Bombers.

GDM: You’ve been teaming with Brandon for 8 years. Have you ever wrestled him one on one?

JD: My last match before I left for the military was against Nitro. He won, and I haven’t heard the end of it since.

GDM: You and Brandon recently won the EWF tag team championships. How did that feel?

JD: Brandon and I started in the EWF, so this win has been a culmination of 8 years of training and partnership for us. We had so many chances at the titles, but we never got that big win. To finally win those belts was a surreal moment that I’ll never forget. Now I think it’s time for us to wear some gold in RPW!

GDM: What’s been the best match you’ve had?

JD: Oh man, that’s touch—it’d have to be a tie. The first is against Jason King in EWF. Jason is very athletic and talented, and I consider myself pretty athletic and talented as well. Jason wrestles with a Japanese Strong Style, and can kick harder than anyone I’ve faced. That match gave me the chance to prove that I can adapt to different styles. In 2000, I teamed with Brandon against Aggravated Assault. That match started the feud that is still gong today. I’ve grown to really respect those guys, but I still hate ‘em!

GDM: Brandon Nitro has a shot at the Arizona Heavyweight title on June 9th. If Brandon wins the title, does Johnny Dynamite deserve a title shot?

JD: Johnny Dynamite definitely deserves a title shot. Brandon and I have always been extremely competitive with each other, and he pushes me to be better. He knows that if he wins the title, I want a shot at it. If I won the title, he’d want at a shot at it, too. We’ll always be friends and partners, but we also want to wear championships.

GDM: On June 9th, you’re facing “Miracle" Mike James in a one on one match. What message do you have for MMJ?

JD: Brandon and I beat Mike James in a tag team match in January. He couldn’t beat me when he had a partner, and he can’t beat me now. I’ll defeat Mike James on June 9th, and continue to ascend to the top of Rising Phoenix Wrestling.

GDM: Johnny, thanks for taking the time to sit down with me today. Best of luck with your match on June 9th.

JD: It was my pleasure Greg, thanks a lot.

See Johnny Dynamite in action on Saturday, June 9th at the Broadway Recreation Center in Mesa, Arizona in a one on one match against “Miracle" Mike James. This card also includes “XXX" Lawrence Tyler defending the Arizona Heavyweight championship and Glamour Boy Shane wrestling BoneCrusher Fred Sampson in a match as part of the first round of the NWA World Heavyweight Championship Tournament.
