The Julius Report: PPW Update

Greetings PPW fans. After a few months hiatus, the official PPW blog is back up and running! After my last post discussing Belles' hostile takeover of PPW, Belles himself attempted to shut this page down. My Blogger account was hacked, the page was sabotaged, and the password changed. I received threats against myself, my family, and my pomeranian, Philbert. I was not intimidated, however, and the powers of truth and transparency eventually prevailed. Now we're back bringing you spin-free news from the inner sanctums of PPW!

This installment of the Julius Report will discuss the results of our last few events including Aftershock and MAYDAY!, along with some behind the scenes news concerning Belles, Tommy Suede and all your favorite PPW Superstars.

April and May were momentous months for PPW, and saw two star studded events throughout the Hazleton Area. In April PPW presented Aftershock at the historic St. Joseph's Gymnasium to a capacity crowd stacked all the way to the rafters. It was our biggest show to date and definitely delivered an action packed evening for the audience in attendance. Several titles were up for grabs, including the newly sanctioned WYLN Television Title.

Mark Maverick was crowned the first ever PPW TV Champion after winning a 20 man over the top royal rumble style match up. Maverick was able to fend off an onslaught of over 20 wrestlers by utilizing his lightning fast speed and fearless in ring maneuvers. The match eventually came down to Maverick and "Mr. Xcellence" Brandon Scott. Maverick was able to get the best of Scott, and claim his spot as TV Champion. After the match, however, Brandon Scott shocked the entire PPW community by turning his back on Maverick and assaulting the newly crowned champ. Scott has vowed revenge against Maverick as he sets his sights on claiming the title that he feels he deserves.

South Philly's finest was crowned the new PPW Tag Team Champions after defeating their long time rivals, The Main Event Hustlas, in a special submission rules match. The bout was a grueling and methodical slobber knocker that pushed both teams to their physical limits. The capacity crowd erupted as "The Gent" Jimmy Konway and "The Line" Luca Brazzi of SPF made Mr. Main Event and M.H. Hustla of The Main Event Hustlas tap out simultaneously to close the book on this storied rivalry. SPF now sits atop one of the most dynamic and electric tag division in all of indy wrestling.

The highlight of the show was without a doubt the epic showdown between "The Product" David Starr and the PPW Champion "Smooth" Tommy Suede, which can be seen in the video below.



As you can see, this was easily one of the greatest matches ever sanctioned by PPW and both men delivered a show stopping performance. Unfortunately, Tommy Suede resorted to cheating once again to retain his title. Suede should be fined and stripped of the belts for assaulting Senior PPW Official Josh Minaker. With Belles in charge, however, that probably won't happen as chaos continues to sweep throughout the entire promotion.

I am still in a state of disbelief at the the action of Commissioner Ryan Race. David Starr had Suede beat dead to rights, not once but twice during this match. Ryan Race betrayed the entire PPW community by refusing to count to three and raise Starr's hand in victory. The only redeeming outcome of this match was that Belles finally got what was coming to him. Starr's attack on Belles cost him a prolonged suspension from the company, but it is a punishment that was well worth it.

Belles, unfortunately, never seems to learn his lesson. The former commissioner was back to his usual ways at PPW: MAYDAY! on May 24 at the Hazleton YMCA. There, he claimed himself the new COO of PPW and reinstated Ryan Race as commissioner. Race's reasons for betraying David Starr became clear as Belles made this blockbuster announcement. There is no telling how far the Belles conspiracy reaches, or how deeps his pockets run.

Belles was finally met with some resistance, however, as several members of the PPW locker room came to the aid of Val Venis at the close of MAYDAY!. Mark Maverick, T.J. Masters, South Philly's Finest, and Homeless Aaron stormed the ring in an attempt to avenge the fallen legend and show Belles, Suede, and Race that there is still a force of good to be reckoned with in PPW. Suede's manager Dylan Dean swore revenge on the unlikely alliance of heroes, and also set his sights on the Samoan sensation Lance Anoa'i.

At PPW: Koolin, on June 21 at the St. Joseph's Gymnasium, the resistance against Belles is sure to grow as Lance Anoa'i makes his return to PPW to respond to Dylan Dean's threats to take out the young Samoan for good. Former WWE Superstars Scotty 2 Hotty and Grandmaster Sexay of Too Cool are scheduled to make their PPW debut, and will surely be forced to choose a side in this ongoing conflict that threatens to tear apart the entire company. Also set to appear are all of your favorite PPW heroes and villains including PPW Tag Team Champions South Philly's Finest, WYLN TV Champion Mark Maverick, Havoc, and many more.

Tickets are $10.00 in advance, $12 at the door for General Admission, and $15 in advance, $20.00 at the door for ringside.

Remember that this will be a TV taping for PPW: High Voltage so don't hesitate to bring signs and be ready to raise hell for the cameras!
