JUNE 2007 |
June 29th--- Donald Brower sent in this statement in regards to the recent demands made by Doc Holiday for the July 7th supershow. Under threat of termination, we were told to post the letter unedited. "In a recent negotiation with UPWA lawyers, Doc Holiday set 3 conditions for the upcoming show. While i have problems with this man trying to run my organization and in no uncertain terms trying to extort the UPWA, my lawyers have told me to accept his demands and focus on the UPWA as a whole. So i agree with 2 and 1/2 of the terms. I agree to the stipulation for the match as well as the creation of the Carolinas Championship and the tournament to crown the champion. One thing i do not agree with, is the abolishment of the Cruiserweight Championship. Therefore as sole owner of the UPWA, I am announcing a cruiserweight open to crown a new UPWA Cruiserweight Champion. Any cruiserweight in the world is allowed to participate in this match. This is my decision and mine alone. If Doc Holiday has a problem with this, then we can deal with the court system and by the time this is resolved, Bam the Destroyer will have to use a wheelchair to get to the ring. So in closing, you got one over on me Doc, Savor the flavor because it will not happen again."
June 12th--- Carnage's doctors have informed the UPWA that due to Mean Marc Ash's attack on his knee during the June show, he cannot be medically cleared to compete for the July 7th show. Carnage suffered significant damage to the joint and is scheduled for an MRI on the knee later in the week. When reached for his thoughts Donald Brower laughed and said it couldnt have happened to a nicer guy. When asked about who Playboy Marcus Shields would defend the title against on the July 7th show, Brower said "Im sure i can find someone for the champ to humiliate".
June 10th--- Doc Holiday has announced, after talking with UPWA lawyers, he will relinquish the UPWA Cruiserweigh Title under three conditions. 1. The title be renamed the UPWA Carolinas Title and is open to all wrestlers on the UPWA roster to compete for. 2. A tournament will be held to crown the new champion starting with the September Supershow. 3. A stipulation for the Bam the Destroyer vs Andrew Anderson match in July where both managers are handcuffed to opposite ring posts. When reached for comment, Donald Brower was livid and said he will destroy everything Doc Holiday and his Sons of the New South stand for.
