MAIN EVENT ANNOUNCED FOR THE UNION’S SEPTEMBER DEBUT
Over the last few weeks, fans have been asking one question over and over in regards to The Union’s debut show this September: “Who will fight STEVE CORINO in the main event?" Well today, AUSTIN SHAW, Head of Fighters’ Affairs for The Union has made the announcement that everyone has been waiting for...
STERLING JAMES KEENAN has demanded the opportunity to go one-on-one with “The King of Old School" Steve Corino at BORN AGAIN. SJK, the #1 contender to the AIW, FNW and IWC Heavyweight championships, may be best known these days for his appearances in England for 1PW. It was there that Keenan developed his hatred for former 1PW World champion Steve Corino and Austin Shaw knew that this potential match-up had “international grudge match" and “main event excitement" written all over it!
With the main event now set, Austin Shaw had one last task to fulfill: finding a new opponent for EL GENERICO. The current PWG World champ had been scheduled to face Sterling James Keenan but was now left wondering if he would have an opponent at all. That question was answered when Buffalo, NY native and current NWA Empire champion PEPPER PARKS accepted Austin Shaw’s invitation to compete at BORN AGAIN.
Pepper Parks, trained by the legendary LES THATCHER, is a 2-time former Heartland Wrestling Association champion and was recently chosen to compete in the 16-man tournament to crown a new NWA World Heavyweight champion. Parks is a world class competitor who brings grit, skill and excitement to the ring every time he wrestles. The Union is pleased to welcome Pepper Parks to its roster and is looking forward to an exciting match between Parks and El Generico on September 8th.
So the card, as announced so far, looks like this:
MAIN EVENT
“King of Old School" STEVE CORINO vs. STERLING JAMES KEENAN
PWG World Champ EL GENERICO vs. NWA Empire Champ PEPPER PARKS
CZW Iron Man Champion TOBY KLEIN vs. RIP IMPACT
