Please Alan J. Wojcik of http://alanwojcik.com if posted, thanks.


Matt Cross (formerly M-Dogg 20)
Height: 5’6”
Weight: 181
Hometown: Cleveland, OH
Pro Debut: August, 2001
Website/Myspace: www.MDogg20.com or www.myspace.com/dontcomehomebleeding
Tournament history: Winner of the 2007 ROE Wachau Wrestling Trophy Tournament in Vienna, Austria, NWA Upstate Tag Team tournament (September 2005), 2006 Ted Petty Invitational (lost in 2nd round to El Generico), 2006 PWG Battle of Los Angeles (lost in opening round to CIMA) 2004 Ted Petty Invitational, 2002 CZW Best of the Best Tournament, PWG Tango and Cash Tag Team Invitational, etc.
Where you have seen him: XPW, IWA-MS, CZW, Big Japan Pro Wrestling, PWG, CAPW, UWA (Canada), UIPW, JAPW, Ring of Honor (member of Resilience with Erick Stevens and formerly Austin Aries), UWF (Hermie Sadler), Wrestling Society X (w/Teddy Hart in Filth & the Fury), and MLW to name a few
Championships held: IWA Mid South Heavyweight title, XPW tag team titles (w/Josh Prohibition), Union of Independent Professional Wrestlers Heavyweight title, Cleveland All Pro Wrestling (CAPW) Tag Team titles (w/John Prohibition); CAPW Jr. Heavyweight title, UWA Hardcore Wrestling Canadian title; NWA Upstate Tag Team (w/Josh Prohibition)

Alan J. Wojcik: What does being part of the 2007 Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup mean to you and did you know of Jeff before you were an entrant?

Matt Cross: I never got the opportunity to meet Mr. Peterson but I'm honored to compete in a tournament bearing his name. I think it's very special that his memory has been kept alive by such a prestigious tournament

Alan J. Wojcik: There is an X factor in this year’s event and it is the presence of Allison Danger as a competitor. If matched up with her how do you prepare for her, I mean do you wrestle her like any other competitor?

Matt Cross: As a professional wrestler you have to be prepared for anything. You'll face people with different styles, weights, strengths, languages, cultures, etc. I had the chance to meet up with Allison in France last month and she is truly a warrior in the ring. I think her presence will help the tournament remain unique.

Alan J. Wojcik: Including Allison Danger, which of the announced competitors would you like to face in the opening round and why? (Announced are Nooie Lee, Allison Danger, Sideshow, Chris Hero, Erick Stevens, “Unreal” Michael Elgin, Krazy K, T Mack, YOU, Kenny King, Sal Rinauro, Seth Delay, Billy Roc, Adam Flash, and Trik Davis)

Matt Cross: I'm ready for anyone.......except for Hulk Hogan. I've been watching him for years and nobody seems to kick out of that legdrop.........I fear it. I hope he's not a last minute entrant.

Alan J. Wojcik: For fans that might be confused when did M-Dogg 20 become Matt Cross and what led to the change in persona?

Matt Cross: I'm still MDogg20 but I just prefer to go by my real name now. MDogg20 is more of a nickname. I decided to favor Matt Cross because I felt that I had improved as a professional wrestler and wanted people to give me a fresh chance with less assumptions. The MDogg20 name is closely tied with my early years and the video games I was featured in. I wanted people to see me as a sound technical wrestler with a body to back up his ability that was still able to pull off some of the most impressive high-flying moves in the world.

Alan J. Wojcik: Doing the research for this interview it showed you as partner to and an opponent to Josh Prohibition. Is that a personal choice or the promotions and how does Josh rate as partner/opponent?

Matt Cross: Josh and I got into the wrestling business together and have been through all the twists, turns, controversy, and craziness that accompany it. We've always had a great competitive rivalry. At times it suits us to put our differences aside and team up for a greater gain. I respect his abilities and he has a great wrestling mind.

Alan J. Wojcik: If fans tuned into MTV’s Wrestling Society X they saw you team with the always controversial Teddy Hart. What was the MTV experience like and how was Teddy compared to other partners in your career like Josh Prohibition?

Matt Cross: Teddy is a character and always entertaining. Shooting WSX for MTV was an incredible experience. We got to stay in an awesome hotel in Hollywood and live like rockstars for a week. I learned a lot and it was very surreal at times. I remember filming the main event of the season finale and checking my phone right before the match started to see what time it was. It was an exploding cage, time-bomb deathmatch and it was 2am on a Thursday night. I remember thinking about all my friends and family and how they were most likely fast asleep getting ready for another work day. I sat there questioning what choices and decisions I had made in life that had lead me to enter a cage rigged with explosives in the middle of a weekday night.

Alan J. Wojcik: Your bio online shows you and Josh wrestled once for the infamous XPW. Did you feel like WSX was trying to combine XPW and ECW in their product with the backyard craze?

Matt Cross: I feel like WSX was trying to create a truly unique, contemporary, professional wrestling product like nothing ever seen before. The set, in-ring product, and gimmicks really had their finger on the pulse of today's youth and the product was fresh and innovative.

Alan J. Wojcik: In the past few months you have wrestled for both Pro Wrestling Guerilla and Ring of Honor. For fans that might not be able to buy their DVD’s, is there any way to compare them head on?

Matt Cross: I've been with PWG on and off since the very beginning even competing against Super Dragon on the promotions very first show years ago. I always have a lot of fun working PWG. Competing full-time for ROH took me years to accomplish and I'm very happy to be working with them now. It's a great time for ROH because we just did our first PPV taping and everyone is extremely excited to get the attention we deserve.

Alan J. Wojcik: While researching other JPC entries the Cleveland All Pro Wrestling promotion has come up just like in your background. What is the Cleveland wrestling scene like?

Matt Cross: Cleveland All Pro Wrestling celebrates their 14 year anniversary this coming July. Not many, if any, promotions can say they have been consistently running shows for 14 years. Not even WCW or ECW can lay a claim like that which really says a lot. I had my JPC qualifying match with CAPW which was special to me since it's been my home promotion since starting some 6 years ago.

Alan J. Wojcik: If things happen in the right circumstances you might end up facing your ROH-Resilience partner Erick Stevens. Is this something you look forward to and if so, do you face Erick like any of the other competitors?

Matt Cross: Erick and I are really coming together as a cohesive unit. We have to in order to compete with the No Remorse Corp. of Roderick Strong, Davey Richards, and Rocky Romero. Taking them down is our most important goal at the moment. That being said, I'd have no problem testing myself against him and seeing how skilled the man who I've put my trust in is. This potential match-up is just one of the many reasons I urge fans to make it to this years JPC tournament. Be sure to check me out at www.dontcomehomebleeding.com and stay up to date with all my appearances, crazy pics, merch, and random thoughts. I look forward to seeing everyone in July at the JPC!

2007 Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup Profile: Nooie Lee

With new names in the 2007 Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup, Alan J. Wojcik decided to take some time and introduce them to the fans. Some of these people you know from previous appearances in the JPC in tournament or non-tournament matches (Chris Hero in 2004, TJ Mack and Krazy K in 2006, Sideshow and Erick Stevens in 2004-2005), some currently work for Florida promotions (FIP, AWF, EWE, PWW, SCW, FPWA), while others will be making their debuts in the Sunshine State.



Nooie Lee

Height: 5’7”

Weight: 165

Hometown: Bangkok, Thailand

Pro Debut: 2005 CCW in Melbourne: Tag Match-w/Bam Bam Mancuso vs the Black Market (when they were the Market Crashers)

Website/Myspace: Currently don't have either (maybe I should get one)

Tournament history: Winner 2007 FPWA Best of Southern Juniors, 2007 MXPW Florida J-Cup

Where you have seen him: (Member of the Annihilators with Bam Bam Mancuso) ACW, FPWA, EWE, AWF, IWE (as part of Youth Gone Wild with Suicide), SCW Florida, D1PW and MXPW,USCW, and many more...

Championships held: ACW Cruiserweight champion (2x), FPWA Florida State Champion(Current), Daytona Pro Wrestling Cruiserweight Champion (Hack Meyers show titled: Pro-Wrestling in Daytona)-Love that show name!



Alan J. Wojcik: Were you a HS or college athlete before becoming a professional wrestler and what made you want do it for a living?



Nooie Lee: Well, I played football, and mainly baseball for 10 years, wrestled in high school, and did 1 day wrestling tournaments in college. My love for professional wrestling spawned when I moved to the United States from Thailand, I was young and knew very little of the country, I would always turn on the TV and there was pro-wrestling on, I enjoyed the athleticism and the lager than life people wrestling. At that point I wanted to be as big as those guys were, but I now know that my body type will not allow that, but then I discovered indy wrestling and they pretty much gave me hope that someday I can actually be doing this. It wasn't until I graduated HS that I made up my mind to officially pursue professional wrestling. I love the fact that wrestling is like a book, each match tells a different story, and the story is played out physically and verbally, some are concluded, and some are to be continued....it's all really suspenseful, you get comedy, action, and drama in one night. Some people read books to before they sleep, I watch professional wrestling. I respect every one in the business and I strive to be able to deliver a good story (match) to the people who watch it....



Alan J. Wojcik: How long have you been wrestling in Florida and what were you initial impressions of the different promotions listed above?



Nooie Lee: I have been actively wrestling in Florida for about 1 1/2 years, 2006 being my first really active year. Each promotion offers me something different which I am thankful for. Being a good worker requires more than just the ability to bump, it's about being well rounded and each promotion has given me a great opportunity to grow and mature to the worker I am today. I also like the locker room in all the different promotions, I have met some great people and have gotten a lot of advice that I take to heart, I strive to be like the Chasyn Rance's and the Erik Stevens, etc...hopefully one day I will be able to be at their level. It's the diversity of the locker room in each promotion that helps you become a better worker, the boys in the back, the vets, they give you advice, ideas, and theories of what you can and need to do to be better... you just can't get some things like that from just basic pro-wrestling training. Although pro-wrestling as sport is competitive...it's every promotion and every worker that makes pro-wrestling what it is to the fans...



Alan J. Wojcik: Before winning the Best of Southern Jrs. Event what did you know of the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup and its legacy?



Nooie Lee: To be honest I knew very little of Jeff Peterson himself, I learned about him and how he was a great asset to the wrestling world through conversations other workers, and then I decided to buy some Peterson Cup DVD's, and wow what a great way to pay homage and respect to someone, the Peterson Cup has great prestige and is well respected to pro-wrestling and its fans, it's an honor for me to be a part of this history making event.



Alan J. Wojcik: Do you think having already been part of a tournament this year mentally prepares you for the JPC?



Nooie Lee: Definitely, I was a part of the MXPW Florida J-Cup and the FPWA Juniors Tournament this year, and it has helped me very much...Its prepared me to be ready for everything and anything, plus I learned that if you don't get plenty of rest the night before a tournament, you're going to be mentally and physically exhausted.



Alan J. Wojcik: Two of the other announced competitors are Florida based (Sideshow & Erick Stevens.) What do you know of them and would you rather face them instead of the other national competitors in the opening round?



Nooie Lee: First let me say that I know both workers and I respect them graciously. I know Erik Stevens is a great guy, always nice to me, offers me advice, and is one hell of a worker, I am very pleased and excited to hear of his successes and it bodes well for Florida indy wrestling to have Erik Stevens be the breakout star that he is, he's worked really hard and is very deserving of his success. Congrats to Erik and best of luck with everything! As far as Sideshow goes, I met him at my first ACW event, and he is completely a class act. I respect him a lot and he has become someone I look up to and am very thankful for everything he's done for me and ACW...I've been on both sides of the fence with him, and it was great he taught me a lot and pretty much became the voice of the people when it comes to opportunity. My extreme thanks to Sideshow for everything, he gave me the chance to become a mainstay in ACW, which helped me gain ring experience to be a better worker. Like I stated earlier, Sideshow and I worked a few times and I know that him and I can put on a great match, so I wouldn't mind him in the first round, Erik Stevens, it would be a honor to work him in the first round as well I respect him a lot and I know he is, very knowledgeable and can teach me a lot in one match and I feel him and I can put on a good match, so I wouldn't mind going against him in the first round either. As far as the rest of the participants in the tournament, it would greatly be an honor to be against any of them really, I haven't been around that long but I have seen many of the participants in action and I believe that I can deliver a great match with any one of them. To sum up it's pretty much a win-win situation for me with anyone and I know this will be a great stepping stone for me. So thank you Peterson Cup Office...



Alan J. Wojcik: Having some time before the tournament to prepare, do you watch video of the other competitors or do you send scouts out to see them in person?



Nooie Lee: I watch everything myself, the only way to learn is by watching and doing, if I send a scout, I borrow his eyes and ears.



Alan J. Wojcik: This year’s event makes history with Allison Danger competing. If you face her in the tournament what would you strategy be, I mean do you wrestler her different then anyone else?



Nooie Lee: I met Allison Danger a few months ago and she is great people. This is a tournament, I expect her to bring her “A” game and if I face her in the first round I'm pretty sure she'll expect me to do the same.



Alan J. Wojcik: While doing research for this interview I found you listed with different tag team partners. Do you have one you prefer more than the other and why?



Nooie Lee: No not really, I don't prefer one over the other, we all have different styles and it’s good to be able to use every arsenal you have. Each tag partner offered something different, I like tag matches to help me become well rounded and there are different strategies you have to use in tag matches than singles. You have 2 people to deal with, and with a good partner you can get it done.



Alan J. Wojcik: In ACW you recently lost the Cruiserweight title to Austin Amadeus (who lost it to Jaison Moore.) You have faced him in other promotions in Florida along with Suicide and Legion “Freakin” Cage. Who is your favorite opponent and why?



Nooie Lee: I actually like them all, I can't really pick a favourite cause they all offered me something different, and helped me think of different ways to put on a great match. Thank you Alan for taking the time with this interview, I look forward to the Peterson Cup and thanks to everyone for giving me the opportunity.

JPC News, Controversy at APW-GA Show Leads To 17 Competitors??

After naming Adam Flash and Kenny King to the list of qualifiers for the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup, there were still 4 spots open with 4 upcoming qualifying matches.

However, Saturday night, the office received a phone call from someone at the APW-Georgia show in Royston, Georgia which featured a 4-Way qualifying match between Seth Delay vs. Austin Creed vs. Sal Rinauro vs. Adrian Hawkins.

Apparently, Sal Rinauro and Seth Delay scored simultaneous pinfalls; Rinauro pinned Austin Creed as Seth pinned Adrian Hawkins. After talking to officials and both competitors during Intermission, it was decided and announced that Sal Rinauro AND Seth Delay have earned spots in this year's Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup.

That means coupled with Trik Davis' pinfall victory in a 4-Way tag team match on a NWA Fight Sports Midwest card; there are now 17 scheduled competitors in the 2007 Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup.

Congrats to all three of these individuals as they join Chris Hero, Erick Stevens, Kenny King, Krazy K, TJ Mack, Matt Cross, Allison Danger, Nooie Lee, Adam Flash, Sideshow, Billy Roc and Michael Elgin.

The final two qualifiers are scheduled for this Saturday, May 19th.

2007 Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup Profile: Sideshow

Please credit Alan J. Wojcik http://alanwojcik.com if posted, thanks.


With new names in the 2007 Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup, Alan J. Wojcik decided to take some time and introduce them to the fans. Some of these people you know from previous appearances in the JPC in tournament or non-tournament matches (Chris Hero in 2004, TJ Mack and Krazy K in 2006, Sideshow and Erick Stevens in 2004-2005), some currently work for Florida promotions (FIP, AWF, EWE, PWW, SCW, FPWA), while others will be making their debuts in the Sunshine State.



Sideshow (formerly OG Scarface)
Height: 5’ 10”
Weight: 200
Hometown: the Psychedelic Underground
Pro Debut: 1994
Finishing Move: Double Penetration
Signature Moves: Catatonic Backbreaker, The Backiotomy, Afterhours Overdose, Foot Fetish, Top Rope Freakenstiener
Myspace: www.myspace.com/sideshow_macleod
Tournament history: Winner of WPWF Lightweight Scramble, Winner of ACW Tag Team Tournament (w/Dany Only), Finalist in ACW Cruiserweight Tournament.
Where have you seen him: ACW, IPW-Hardcore, FPWA, SCW Florida, NWA Florida, TNA, WPWF
Championships held: ACW Heavyweight, ACW Tag Team (w/Dany Only), ACW Cruiserweight, ACW Combat, FPWA Tag Team (w/Wikkid), SCW Tag Team (w/Dagon Briggs), WPWF Lightweight 3X, NNW Hardcore, and IPW-Hardcore Light Heavyweight champion.

Alan J. Wojcik: Since the last time we talked two things have changed. One is you are no longer OG Scarface, the other is the disassociation your manager with Ana Mosity. Please explain the reason for the changes.

Sideshow: OG Scarface was only the beginning of who I wanted to be as a pro wrestler. It was the early stages of my career. I developed OG when I was 15 and first broke into the business. As I evolved and matured as an athlete, I decided Sideshow was not only a symbol of how I've grown with wrestling, but also a more marketable gimmick name. When I was seventeen, I played bass for a metal band named Wet Spot. Since I was the youngest in the group and definitely the most gimmicky, the band nicknamed me Sideshow. It's stuck ever since. As far as Ana Mosity, she went her own separate way to work with a traveling Burlesque show. She pops in from time to time and makes an appearance or two. Not to mention that we've had so many differences inside and outside the ring, it's probably best that we only associate in small doses. I do, however, wish the best for her.

Alan J. Wojcik: You share something with former JPC competitor Naphtali, both of you were opponents of Jeff Peterson in his career. Please tell the readers what Jeff was like as an opponent and a friend.

Sideshow: When I first met Jeff, I underestimated him. At that time he was relatively new to the Florida wrestling scene and only 17, I believe. I ended up working him at some shit show, and had an incredibly solid match. He soon came to work for WPWF, SCW, and IPW-Hardcore. We ended up squaring off several times throughout all of those organizations. The kid had a heart of a lion; taking risks with high flying attacks and absolute charisma. Who would've thought that a kid so young could give so much to the fans and all of the boys in the back. I learned a lot from him. As far as matches, we've had some brutal ones in our time. The one that sticks out the most is the 4 way forklift ladder match we had in Crystal River for IPW-Hardcore with Naphtali (Then Al Bino) and Billy Xtreme. It was absolutely insane. Shortly after that, Jeff and I started to become closer as friends. We hung out a lot, reviewing tapes together as well as putting together new moves. We still feuded a lot, but even on nights that we were booked to fight one another, we'd still travel together to the show, usually with Naph.

Alan J. Wojcik: Sadly Jeff passed away in 2002 after a long battle with cancer. I am sure it’s hard to talk about but could you tell us your feelings when you were told he died.

Sideshow: When I found out, I was completely devastated. It didn't seem real for a while. Like Jeff would just pop up someday at a show and be like, "fooled you!" being the kind of jokester that he was. I can still remember him like it was only yesterday. In memory of Jeff, I yell out "LOW BLOW!" just as he did when he dropped a headbutt low on his opponent. I do that in almost every match.

Alan J. Wojcik: What was your reaction when the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup office made the match on an ACW show where the winner would earn a spot in the 2007 event and what went through your mind after you won?

Sideshow: You know, I've done some of the other Peterson Cup shows, but never been in the actual tournament. Truth is, I'm glad that I wasn't. I knew that I wasn't ready at the time. Even with a little previous tournament experience, Peterson Cup has always been the best of the best. I don't feel that I was the best at that time. It was always a pleasure to be on the show no matter what I was doing. The show was and is always for Jeff, not for any individual wrestler or wrestlers. Austin Amadeus, Shayne Swyft and Nick Fame who were in the qualifying match with me are all great competitors, up and coming stars in this business, but this year, they were not ready to represent ACW in this tournament and I was, plain and simple. I can see any of these three guys in the tourney on future shows, but this time it was my year. I'm in some of the best shape in my career, physically and psychologically. I've become a better rounded wrestler. I am honored and excited to represent ACW on JPC this year. And no matter what happens, if I am eliminated in the first round or win the whole tournament, I'm going to give it my all and make Jeff proud.

Alan J. Wojcik: This year’s tournament features the debut of a woman into the event, Allison Danger. Do you think this is good for the event and if you were to wrestle her, would you wrestle her like any other opponent?

Sideshow: I think that it's great for the tournament! It adds a whole new flavor on the JPC. If a woman wrestler can make that much buzz to be considered for such a prestigious show, then I say go for it. And of course I would wrestle her like any other opponent if we end up facing off. It's when you underestimate someone no matter what gender that you end up losing and hanging your head in embarrassment. If you still don't believe me, ask Amy Love if I took it easy on her when I broke her leg on an NWA-Florida show. Ask Ana Mosity how chivalrous I was when I powerbombed her through a table off the top at ACW. The answer is No! I would go into that match as I would for any other opponent in this tournament, to win!

Alan J. Wojcik: You were the first person in ACW history to hold every championship. Do you consider this an honor are you just that good in the ring?

Sideshow: A question like this deserves an honest answer. I believe it's a little bit of both. What I believe makes me the successful wrestler is that I am that I'm humble enough to understand appreciation and honor for not only each title but for the guys that I've fought to get them. Yet I feel that I have to be cocky enough to know it was done because of my in-ring ability and experience. I was just a little bit better than my opponents on those days.

Alan J. Wojcik: A few months ago you stepped away from singles work in ACW to tag with newcomer Dany Only forming the duo called Dogmatika. Why did you choose Only as your partner and how does he differ from other partners like Dagon Briggs or Shank Devlin?

Sideshow: When I met Dany Only for the first time, I noticed he had a very sarcastic sense of humor like myself. I'm a huge fan of sarcasm, so that was enough to spark my attention. The next thing that I noticed was his hunger for competition. Every time I read a press release for almost any organization, he's on the show. Green as hell at the time and he's getting booked everywhere. I started to notice his work getting better with every match in addition to his crowd response getting huge! Several months later, an ACW tag team tournament came up and I asked him to be my partner. We came up with some very innovative and fresh tag team maneuvers and just ran with it. It eventually led us to ACW tag team gold. To answer question number two, I feel that Dany and I are probably pretty evenly matched up as a team. With Dagon, we had great in ring chemistry, but since he lived in Jacksonville and I'm in the Tampa area, we never seen each other outside shows. In retrospect, Shank and I knew each other on a personal friendly level, and since I used to be only about 160lbs, he was always the power of the team. Dany and I have both kinds of chemistry. We've worked well in the ring together and are basically the same size, give or take. We've hung out and drank together, gone to see metal bands together such as Full Blown Chaos and Soulfly. We share a lot of the same interests. Hell, we both are dating bartenders that work together at the same bar. I don't believe in coincidences.

Alan J. Wojcik: You and Only had issues over the last few weeks with the team you lost the ACW Tag Team titles to, “Canadian Dream” Joshua Masters and Sedrick Strong. In your experience what makes them a team to be reckoned with in Florida wrestling?

Sideshow: Well first of all, Josh and SedErick broke into the business at about the same time. Years ago when I first got into IPW, those two tagged up then. So they've known each other for quite some time now. When you get to know someone for long enough, you begin to know what they’re thinking. Being able to be in sync like that is what makes tag teams successful. It’s important to know what's going on in your partners head to keep from making big mistakes. Yeah, they're assholes and like to use their manager, Fetish to aide them in very cheap attacks, but they are both talented athletes as well. Cedrick was in the JPC tournaments before, he's made it to the Super 8, and of course been involved in many bloody matches with guys like myself, Naphtali and Rodrick Strong. Josh has lots of experience in tag team as well as singles competition and has been quite successful in his doings. Putting two men together like this is absolutely dangerous for other tag teams in Florida. They'll take whatever steps that they feel is necessary to win matches.

Alan J. Wojcik: You have been a mainstay in Florida for years. Do you things have changed in the wrestling scene for the better or have things gotten worse since your debut?

Sideshow: Both. I think that the scene has changed for the better and for the worst. Better in a sense that the ante has upped more in the actual sport of wrestling. Most wrestlers aren't trying to just ride the success of their gimmick alone. I mean, they're still out there, but it's not just boring ass rest spot after rest spot anymore. There's a lot more action going on now. I noticed that after I made my comeback after my first shoulder surgery. Between waiting to go under the knife, to my "state paid vacation", Florida wrestling had changed. I had a lot of work to do at that point, in my attempt to mature to the modern standards. I also like the fact that there are more options for guys to be able to choose from nowadays. It used to be only the big corporations like WWE & WCW. There was ECW and other underground feds, but a lot of workers didn't know how to go about getting booked on shows outside of Florida. Their only hopes were grasping dark matches for the "Big 3." It's nice to see that a lot of guys have not only WWE and ECW to choose from. Now there's TNA and several indy promotions getting a lot of hype, such as CZW, IWA-Mid South and ROH. Everyone can have a goal now depending on their own views on what their want for themselves in this business. Me, I never wanted to go to WWE. I'm not in a stage in my life to want to be in the big time. Those years have past me. I mean, I'm only 28, but I kind of enjoy being a local superstar. I don't have a wish to be rich and famous. Not saying that I'd turn down a decent offer, but I'd rather travel doing independents. Maybe even internationally. I feel that when wrestling becomes too much of a job, you stop having fun. I'm having way too much fun now.

As far as Florida wrestling getting worse, well that's obvious. Too many promotions, too much heat. Everyone wants to be the man. Instead of everyone working together to make something a success, they compete with each other in childish manners. As soon as two guys get into one little argument (usually a booker and a worker) everyone wants to start their own shit. And instead of doing it for the wrestling scene, they do it out of spite for their own selfishness. They think that they're hurting their opponents, but in reality, it's the workers that end up suffering. I know that it is has been and always will be that way, so really what can you do?

NWA FSM 5/11 Event Has HUGE Match With JPC Tourney Spot To Winner!!

NWA Fight Sports Midwest officials have recently had talks with Pro Wrestling Warfare, organizers of the yearly Jeff Peterson Cup, which honors the fallen high-flyer's memory with two nights of great wrestling action in Florida each year. A collective decision was made that one match on the Chapter Two card on May 11th would be a qualifier for the Peterson Cup, taking place on July 13th and 14th in Orlando and Port Richey, Florida during the respective days. The JPC Tournament organizers saw the vast potentials in young stars like Billy Roc, Trik Davis, and C.J. Otis, as well as the incredible amount of skill and experience in Truth Martini and decided on a unique way to qualify the latest combatant into the tournament: whatever one wrestler scored the fall on the winning team would be entered into the Jeff Peterson Cup!

NWA FSM has also added the make shift team of Marek Brace and Ryan Epic, as the two singles stars are looking for their breakthrough match in the Jeff Peterson Cup. A fourth team was added, the North Star Express, which consists of "The Second Coming of Beautiful" Ryan Cruz and Darin Corbin. This match is now a four-way tag team scramble.

With that dramatic tale out of the way, it will be a four-way, single-fall match on Friday night, May 11th at the Camelot Sportsplex in Portage, Indiana, as Threat Level Midnight will face Truth Martini & CJ Otis, Marek Brave & Ryan Epic, and the North Star Express, with the winners being automatically entered into the NWA Indiana Tag Team Title Tournament on August 11th and the losing team in the deciding fall being eliminated from that process completely, plus the direct beneficiary of the pinfall will be entered into the 2007 Jeff Peterson Cup!

One thing to keep in mind is that this Sunday night during the NWA Indiana card at Riehle Brothers Sports Complex in Lafayette, Indiana, Threat Level Midnight's Billy Roc will be participating in a three-way bout against Brandon Thomaselli and PT Hustla where the winner will be NWA Indiana's representative into the Jeff Peterson Cup. If Roc wins that match and then scores the pinfall during the four-way tag team contest on May 11th, we have been told he will be allowed to choose his own seeding, which will set his path throughout the tournament, for the Jeff Peterson Cup.

To summarize, the eight competitors vying for a spot in the 2007 Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup are: Trik Davis, Billy Roc, "The Second Coming of Beautiful" Ryan Cruz, Darin Corbin, Truth Martini, CJ Otis, Marek Brave and Ryan Epic.

2007 Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup Profile: Allison Danger

Please Alan J. Wojcik of http://alanwojcik.com only if posted, thank you.


With new names in the 2007 Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup, Alan J. Wojcik decided to take some time and introduce them to the fans. Some of these people you know from previous appearances in the JPC in tournament or non-tournament matches (Chris Hero in 2004, Krazy K in 2006, Sideshow and Erick Stevens in 2004-2005), some currently work for Florida promotions (FIP, AWF, EWE, PWW, SCW, FPWA), while others will be making their debuts in the Sunshine State.

Tournament history: Chikara World Tag Grand Prix 2005, WXW Elite 8 2003-2005

Where you have seen her: Shimmer, Ring of Honor (as wrestler and member of the Prophecy) Full Impact Pro, WXW, Cleveland Pro, IWA-MS, Chikara, JAPW, TNA Wrestling, IHPW, IWA-PA, World-1, WCEW, AWA World -1 South and USA Pro

Championships held: IWF Tag Titles, Thundergirls Champion, WXW Women's Tag Champions, NWBA Women's Champion and World-1 North American Champion



Alan J. Wojcik: I guess the obvious first question is what was your reaction to becoming the first female to compete in the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup?



Allison Danger: Allison Danger: It is a real honor. I knew Jeff through his uncle (Jim Ketner) and he was a great person. They always made me feel welcome when I would come to ECWA shows.



Alan J. Wojcik: Is there anything special you will do different in your normal training to prepare for this event?



Allison Danger: Steroids. Just kidding! I plan training hard, eating right and preparing to step my game up. There is going to be a strong lineup going into the JPC. I have to be at 100% physically and mentally.

Alan J. Wojcik: For people that might not follow Shimmer how does it differ from previous or current women’s promotions? In addition how does Dave Prazak differ from other promoters you have worked for?



Allison Danger: Dave Prazak gets women's wrestling. He understands it goes beyond bra and panties bouts and lingerie battle royals. He sees the potential and respects what a lot of women were trying to accomplish in our respective careers. Prazak is working day and night to change the face of women's wrestling today. SHIMMER gives fans an alternative to what you are seeing on TV and in certain venues. Variety is what was needed and he is filling that void the best way he knows how. Another thing that makes SHIMMER special is the locker room. Each individual brings something special and that locker room is made up of real team players. It’s a special environment that I imagine isn't duplicated in many places.

Alan J. Wojcik: How big a thrill was it to walk into retail stores in America and find yourself on the Shimmer Volume One DVD?



Allison Danger: It wasn't about seeing myself on the DVD but to see the product take that next step. Dave took his brainchild and made it into reality. Each woman in the locker room gives 100% each and every taping. To see it all come to fruition and then go a step further is very satisfying but drives us to work harder with each taping.

Alan J. Wojcik: Looking over your listing of opponents Daizee Haze comes up more than anyone. Is she your favorite opponent or is there someone else you like working?



Allison Danger: I don't have a particular favorite but Daizee is one of those opponents who really forces you to bring your A game and inspire you to be a better wrestler.

Alan J. Wojcik: According to your bio on obsessed with wrestling (www.obsessedwithwrestling.com) you were part of an Armed Forces Entertainment tour traveling around the world to US military bases. Please talk about that experience.



Allison Danger: I had a blast, made some killer friends and got to see different parts of Japan. I went to Korea, Guam and best of all, spent three glorious days in Hawaii. I spent a day in Hiroshima, which was life changing. Words can not do justice to the sites I saw that day.

Alan J. Wojcik: While working for Ring of Honor you traveled to England this year and also have worked on a show in Germany. How do the European wrestling fans differ from North American fans?



Allison Danger: I was amazed how many Europeans knew so much about North American wrestling. I never realized how much of what we do actually touches the world. I never expected people there to know the first few chords of my theme music or to know my moveset. The UK and Europe was tremendous and I would love to return, sooner rather than later.

Alan J. Wojcik: According to your website while on that tour you also held seminars for women wrestlers. How were they received?



Allison Danger: The seminars were fun. In addition, I was fortunate to do a dual one with Sara Del Rey and one with Sweet Saraya, who is just a never ending fountain of wrestling information.

Alan J. Wojcik: In ROH you have had several different looks from debuting as the valet for the Christopher St Connection in 2002, to working in the Prophecy to recently dressing as a cheerleader. Is that a creative decision from the ROH staff or something you decided to do on your own?



Allison Danger: Gabe Sapolsky allows a very open forum for conversation about where a character is going and what should be worn. Christopher Daniels also gives a lot of input and the three of us tend to come up with ideas together. It is a great place creatively to work because I am able to pitch ideas and give my thoughts and opinions freely.

Alan J. Wojcik: While working for FIP you were the manager for the Black Market (Joey Machete & Shawn Murphy) during their bloody feud with the Heartbreak Express (“Superstar” Sean and “Fabulous” Phil Davis). In a previous interview $o Cal Val said it was difficult to watch the carnage which escalated to the legendary Cage of Pain match. What are your memories of that series of matches and do you think the same way Val did that the violence was too much?



Allison Danger: Who can really say how much is too much? You take four men who hate each other more than life itself and blood will be spilled. Its nature. A natural progression. It is hard to stand at ringside and see the bloodshed but it had to be done.

Alan J. Wojcik Your Myspace page lists you as a member of the VAG Squad, please explain what this is?



Allison Danger: The VAG Squad is very sacred. First rule of VAG Squad is we don't talk about VAG Squad.

Alan J. Wojcik: According to fans who attend FIP events you have shirts for sale that read “50% American, 50% Canadian, 100% Danger.” Who came up with the slogan and how have the shirts been received by the fans and fellow wrestlers?



Allison Danger: Arik Cannon came up with that slogan. He is good for more than just letting me steal his finishing move. Thanks Cannon! He and I were playing around with ideas one day on the internet and that is what we decided to run with. There is a small list of variations that may or may not see the light of day. The shirts sold out pretty quickly so I am hoping to have a new batch ready for the summer.

2007 JPC News, Former Finalist Is Entrant Number Six!!

Pro Wrestling Warfare (formerly NWA Florida/IPW-Hardcore) annually holds the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup every year to support the memory of independent wrestler, "the All American" Jeff Peterson who died of cancer in 2002. Many great wrestlers throughout the world have been a part of this tournament like WSX stars Human Tornado, Joey Ryan, Jack Evans, Jimmy Jacobs and Teddy Hart, TNA Wrestling’s Alex Shelley, Sonjay Dutt and Petey Williams, CZW’s Chris Hero & Ruckus, ROH & FIP’s “Messiah of the Backbreaker” Roderick Strong, B-Boy, Puma, NWA World Tag Team champion “Notorious 187” Homicide plus the 2003 winner “Reckless Youth” Tom Carter, 2004 winner Justice, 2005 winner Chris Sabin and 2006 winner Milano Collection AT.



Today the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup committee received a certified letter from the desk of Chris Hero.

Hero states that as a former finalist, he feels he has earned a berth in this year's Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup. He says the fans are demanding it, and he is obliging them with his presence. Hero says he is trying to redeem himself after coming so close to winning the tournament in 2004 after losing to Justice in a three way finals along with Roderick Strong.

"I am doing it for the kids," Hero said.

We at the JPC 2007 have decided that Chris is right, and are very proud to announce that Chris Hero has joined Krazy K, Allison Danger, Erick Stevens, Sideshow and "Unreal" Michael Elgin as the 2007 participants.

2007 JPC News, Night One Main Event Announced!

Pro Wrestling Warfare (formerly NWA Florida/IPW-Hardcore) annually holds the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup every year to support the memory of independent wrestler, "the All American" Jeff Peterson who died of cancer in 2002. Many great wrestlers throughout the world have been a part of this tournament like WSX stars Human Tornado, Joey Ryan, Jack Evans, Jimmy Jacobs and Teddy Hart, TNA Wrestling’s Alex Shelley, Sonjay Dutt and Petey Williams, CZW’s Ruckus, ROH & FIP’s “Messiah of the Backbreaker” Roderick Strong, Chris Hero, B-Boy, Puma, NWA World Tag Team champion “Notorious 187” Homicide plus the 2003 winner “Reckless Youth” Tom Carter, 2004 winner Justice, 2005 winner Chris Sabin and 2006 winner Milano Collection AT.



This year’s event is July 13th in Orlando and July 14th in Port Richey, Florida. Night one will host the entire opening round and some other matches to be announced. Night two will feature the other JPC tournament rounds with the main event winner destined to make someone an international name.



With that in mind the main event of Night one of the 2007 Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup in Orlando Florida is RAGE IN THE CAGE 9!!

What makes this one of the most dangerous matches in wrestling? 20 (or more) competitors will enter the Rage in the Cage battle royal.... all armed with weapons. Elimination occurs when someone is tossed from the cage, either through the door or over the top crashing down to the floor some ten or twelve feet below. The come as you are battle royal in a cage as been a staple in Florida and is the longest reigning tradition in the state. This brainchild of “the Hardcore Giant” Ron Niemi came to fruition in IPW-Hardcore in August of 1999 in Crystal River, Florida.

The first RITC saw co-winners as Sonny T and Rick Thames of the tag team Southern Posse ended their feud to reunite and start their war with the Shane Brothers, back then known as Phi DeKappa U. Past winners include Florida standouts “Freedom Ryder” Mike Sullivan, Rod Steele, “The Marquee” Bruce Santee, Lex Lovett, Sedrick Strong and Jeff Peterson Cup 2007 competitor Erick Stevens.

Past competitors in this ultra violent battlefield have included almost every independent wrestler in Florida along with Madman Pondo and the Extreme Icon the Sandman! Weaponry has ranged from chairs, pizza cutters, barbwire, cooking utensils, florescent light tubes and bats to Josh Rich bringing a fireplace size knight’s armor and Aaron Epic wrapping himself in packing bubble.

We are happy to announce the tradition of violence is continuing at the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup 2007! Be sure to look online for information on tickets and a website which will feature information on the 16 competitors in the 2007 Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup.

News Concerning 2007 Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup, New Entry!

By Alan Wojcik of http://alanwojcik.com/

Pro Wrestling Warfare (formerly NWA Florida/IPW-Hardcore) annually holds the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup every year to support the memory of independent wrestler, "the All American" Jeff Peterson who died of cancer in 2002. Many great wrestlers throughout the world have been a part of this tournament like WSX stars Human Tornado, Joey Ryan, Jack Evans, Jimmy Jacobs and Teddy Hart, TNA Wrestling’s Alex Shelley, Sonjay Dutt and Petey Williams, CZW’s Chris Hero & Ruckus, ROH & FIP’s “Messiah of the Backbreaker” Roderick Strong, B-Boy, Puma, NWA World Tag Team champion “Notorious 187” Homicide plus the 2003 winner “Reckless Youth” Tom Carter, 2004 winner Justice, 2005 winner Chris Sabin and 2006 winner Milano Collection AT.



Pro Wrestling Warfare laid it upon New Wave Pro to enter a participant into this year’s Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup. So on Sunday March 25th at 2:00pm New Wave Pro's A DO OR DIE AFTERNOON held a tournament to enter an Ontario Independent wrestler into this year’s event. The event was held at Unit 13, in Hamilton.

Ring Announcer: Julian Logan
Ref: Sean Cassidy

1) Tournament match: Jay Fenix def. Awesome Adam Reed.
Good match. Fenix won with a gut-wrench suplex into a bridge for the pin. After the match, Prodigy attacked Fenix. He had a chair but before he could use it Ash made the save armed with his own chair.

2) Tournament match: Ash def. Prodigy
Match of the Day. The end saw Fenix return to the entrance ramp, distracting Prodigy who was setting up to blast Ash with a chair. When he did swing, Ash ducked and the chair bounced off the ropes back into Prodigy's face. One spiked DDT later and Ash had the pin.

3) Tournament match: Mike Stevens def. Jeff Flury
Jeff had a few brief flurries of offense but for the most part, Stevens controlled this bout. He pinned Flury with his feet on the ropes for leverage.

Stevens then got on the mic and said what happened to Flury was just an example of what the cruiserweights of NWP could expect. Stevens said he had found someone who "hates cruiserweights" as much as he does and called out Danny Magnum. While Magnum snorted and growled, Stevens issued an open challenge to any "scrawny pukes in the back." Out came the Gym Rats.

4) Danny Magnum def. The Gym Rats
Stevens stayed at ringside in Magnum's corner but didn't interfere. He didn't need too. Magnum took what little offence York & O'Shea managed and basically smashed them around. A big running knee strike to both Rats in the corner led to Magnum pinning them both.

5) Tournament match: Hayden Avery def. Impact Eddie Osbourne
A very good match as one might expect from these two guys. Avery won with a DVD after Osbourne missed a top rope headbutt. After the match Osbourne accepted Avery's handshake and got a kick to the gut and a stunner.

6) Tournament match: Otis Idol def. Angel de Guerra
Idol got the pin with a handfull of tights on the roll up.

Intermission: I'm happy to report that no one hit me in the nards with a flag stick during the break.

After intermission Kris Chambers cut a promo about kicking the crap out of both Derek Wylde and Jennifer Blake on Apr 15th.

7) Tournament match: “Unreal” Michael Elgin def. Rip Impact
Picked up steam as it went along and turned into a pretty good match. Elgin got the pin when he caught Rip's crossbody off the ropes and hit the brainbuster.

8) Timothy Dalton & Zack Storm def. Steve Brown & Sebastian Suave.
The new version of Egos & Icons didn't fare so well against the fan favorites Storm & Dalton. That's right. Dalton was a face. Fun match.

9) Eddie Osbourne won the 1st Iron Man Challenge Battle Royal
Participants: Eddie Osbourne, Prodigy, Logan Savage, Dan Magnum, Jeff Flury, Angel de Guerra, Easy E, Lak Sadartha, Sebastian Suave, Rip Impact & Addy Starr.
Order of elimination:
Jeff Flury & Angel de Guerra by each other
Easy E by Osbourne
Rip Impact by Osbourne
Sebastian Suave by Osbourne
Logan Savage by Magnum
Lak Sadartha by Osbourne
Addy Star by Magnum
Danny Magnum by Osbourne

Osbourne grabbed the mic & demanded a belt for the win. Michael Elgin came out and said it was only the 1st Challenge. Then he made reference to PWA and said Eddie ripped him off of a title shot by canceling the show for the 22nd. JC Owens came out and tossed Osbourne around until Eddie escaped out the front door.

10) Jeff Peterson Cup Qualifying Tournament Finals:
Michael Elgin def. Jay Fenix, Hayden Avery, Mike Stevens, Ash & Otis Idol in a 6-way match. Lots of fun stuff in this one. The match ended with a series of top rope maneuvers (all misses) from every participant except Stevens. He was caught up on the buckles and subjected to a tower of doom suplex that sent bodies rolling everywhere. Elgin jumped on Stevens for the pin using the ropes and a hand full of tights for leverage. So... Elgin is off to Florida for the Jeff Peterson Cup.
