Roster: Final update












Mr. D here for our final roster update. It would have been sooner but i've been watching the fantastic Tag Team DVD the WWE has released. Steiner Brothers vs. Hase and Sasaki from 1991. Worth the price alone.

Anyway, we have 6 guys left so let's get to it!

J. M. Stryker
A long time veteran of the indy scene, JM Stryker has been signed to Ultra Wrestle. A perfectionist in the ring, Stryker strives to give the fans the best match they have ever seen on a nightly basis. Despite his dedication to the business, he is one cocky SOB. I think this quote from him says it all...

"I may not be the biggest, I may not be the fastest, I may not be the strongest, but I am the smartest, and I am the best. You see me, and it all becomes clear - you are my fan and you didn't even know it. Now, doesn't that just lift your spirits?"

His finisher, which he dubs the Emerald Fusion '09 is a Schwein that is both fast and hard hitting. Be on the lookout for Stryker's next match. According to him, you're his biggest fan.

Subby Phillips
From one self absorbed individual to the next. Subby has spent most of his life building his body up to perfection. He's a muscle toned beach bum, who makes no allusions about enjoying certain illegal substances. What makes him different than every other narcissistic built pot head in professional wrestling? How about that his entire moveset consists of submission holds. Subby likes to go at his own pace, and with his deadly arsenal of holds, he can slow anyone down. His finisher, dubbed 'Get out of this' is a bat-hanging lock that has weakened and injured most of the roster. Subby has no real goals or aspirations for his career in Ultra Wrestle, but he seems to enjoy wrestling, and he can be quite competent at it when he wants to be.

TNT
He's TNT, he's dynamite (I made that joke so you don't have to)! TNT is young, agile, strong, he has a goatee. Yup, this is one guy who hasn't found his voice yet. I signed him for his phenomenal in ring ability but the man is almost devoid of personality when doing anything but wrestling. Hopefully he'll learn the skills here he needs to take him to the next level. His finisher he calls 'Where's the Kaboom?', which is his own version of the guillotine crusher. See, he obviously has a sense of humour. We'll try working with him folks. In the meantime, enjoy him in the ring, and ignore him if he gets near a microphone.

El Turnipo
El Turnipo is a lucky kid. Since applying to Ultra Wrestle, wanting to become a pro wrestler, he's been taken under the wing of the Psycho Amigo, Los Bombola and myself. He has a lot of talent and is getting better match by match (especially with our tutelage). He still has a long way to go however, but he is able to put on a good show with almost anybody in the fed. He hasn't named his finisher yet, but he decided to emulate Super Delfin and use the Osaka Stunner. Turnip is a little naive, but is willing to learn from those with more experience. We wish him the best in Ultra Wrestle (and i'm not saying that just because he's my student).

Lord Xbox
Now i love the video games, but i'm embarrassed by a certain type of gamer. Lord Xbox is that gamer. He's cocky, obnoxious, he smack talks during matches, and he thinks he's better than anyone on the roster. He also shows off too much in the ring. Granted he's a tough customer and he can back up a lot of what he says, but the idea of being a good sport is a foreign concept to him. Plus as a wrestler, he really should take some time and keep in shape. His finisher is called 'The Three Red Rings', and is a Grand Salsa Auto which has put more than one opponent out of commission. Xbox is good friends with Subby Phillips, but the laid back nature of Subby never seems to wear off on him. We can only hope that over time it will.

Yob
Now I did explain in the last update that we only signed Rick to get his friend and tag team partner Yob. Yob is worth it. Agile and full of power, his in ring style is always entertaining. On the mic, he's talkative and captivating but like his partner, he can be quite the vain douchebag. They do call their tag team The Pretty Boys after all. Yob also fancies himself a musician and so calls his finisher The Power Chord (really, its all he knows how to play). It's a Tornado DDT off the second rope. Together they make a good tag team, and Yob is a great singles competitor, but his arrogance often allienates the fans... his arrogance, and that guy he hangs around with.


Well... that's the Ultra Wrestle roster. I hope you have an idea now of the talent and personalities that make up this great fed. Next week I'll post our first card which will be next weekend. Stay tuned!

Roster part 3












Hey there again Ultra Wrestle junkies. In this, part 3 of our roster bio extravagansa, we introduce 5 more of our great wrestlers. Let's get this party started!

Parachute McGilacuddy
Oh boy, where do I begin? Everything about this guy is an offense to all that is good and decent (not the least of which is that horrendous gut). It may or may not surprise you to know that Parachute McGilaCuddy spent a couple years on the street, and quite a few more in therapy. He calls his finisher the 'Run Run its Chavo' which is a harsh Murder Backdrop. He claims that it keeps Chavo Guerrero away. Ah yes, Parachute is quite into conspiracy theories and believes that the high flyer from the WWE is responsible for the deaths of most professional wrestlers. Flamboyant, completely deranged, and very nasty in the ring, Parachute McGilacuddy is not someone who's bad side you want to be on. Better yet, it's probably safer to avoid him altogether.

Reginald Waters
Sir Reginald Waters the Third is a classically trained British brawler. He ventured over to the United States years ago after a lack of competition on his home turf. His aristocratic upbringing and cocky demeanour have not endeared him to Americans however, as he believes he is not only above them, but above the sport he has dedicated his life to (try figuring that one out). His finisher the Upper Class is the strongest lariat i've ever seen in the business. Reginald is not a good sport or a nice man. He is however one hell of a good wrestler and will take any challenge thrown at him. One to watch at a safe distance.

Rick
It's Rick, just plain Rick. Rick was part of a deal for signing his tag team partner and best friend Yob. Oh sure he has some ability, but man you have never met a more narcissistic person in your life... that and we really just wanted Yob. Large, a stiff worker, and mean, Rick takes pleasure in hurting his opponents. His finisher the Broken Mirror is a Pedegree, usually followed by a suplex and a pin. To tell you the truth, we wouldn't mind Rick half as much if he didn't wear such tight pants.

The Serpent
The Serpent is an MMA fighter from Sudan, who has decided to try his hand at professional wrestling. Meeting him in Japan, I signed him to the fed soon after, being very impressed with his versatility, and his brutality. Still learning the English language, Serpent only talks in small bursts if at all, but one thing is clear, step in a ring with him, you will get hurt. His finisher the Cobra Strike is a swift Kenta Kick to the skull which has knocked out numerous opponents and even resulted in a couple concusions. Every now and then, Serpent gets the MMA itch so we have an octogonal cage on standby, but most of the time, a deathmatch is enough to feed his need for violence.

Simon Destructo
The other half of the tag team Devastation. Even though Simon and Blue Lion's places of birth were separated by the Atlantic ocean, once they met in Ultra Wrestle, they found and formed a kinship, as if they'd been brothers their whole lives. Simon Destructo is a bit of an oddball. He trained in mat wrestling, Lucha, and MMA, but his secret passion is Baseball. He wears his jersey everywhere, and even named his finisher the You Are Out (which is a Styles Crush rolled over into a pin). Simon seems to have the talent to be a top singles competitor in Ultra Wrestle, but his loyalty to his tag team partner has stopped that from ever crossing his mind.


Next update, the final 6 wrestlers of the Ultra Wrestle roster. Shortly after that, we'll post our first card and then it's on with the wrestling. Stay tuned!

Roster part 2












Hello again folks. Mr. D here with another post introducing our roster. Nothing really left to say, so let's get to it!

Bare Bear
A mysterious cage fighter from Mongolia. Does Bear wear the mask and fur of the Gobi Bear for some shamanistic purpose? Is it to inspire fear in his opponents? Is it that his face is more horrendously scarred than his body? Whatever the answer, you won't get it from Bear. Expressing himself with body language and a series of grunts and growls, Bear is a man of few words but gets his message across perfectly. Combining martial arts with a harsh puroresu type wrestling style, Bear is a force of nature within Ultra Wrestle. His finisher, 'The Bear Facts of Life' is a swift and solid punch to the solar plexis that will drop any wrestler on the spot. Its name suggests Bear has a sense of humour. Its execution proves that its quite dark.


Blue Lion
He comes from the land of the ice and snow, from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. The Blue Lion became famous throughout the north of Europe (Norway, Sweden & Finland) as a formidable, and devastating wrestling opponent. Now he's looking to make a name for himself in North America. One half of the tag team Devastation, Blue Lion does not speak much, having his partner Simon Destructo speak for him. His finisher, the Antelope Gutter, is a picture perfect Northern Lights Bomb. Why is he blue? While most working here at Ultra Wrestle think it's just body paint, we've never seen him without it. No nonsense and always down to business, Blue Lion is one to keep an eye on.

Los Bombola
Los Bombola, the flying fatman. Trainer of the Psycho Amigo, Bombola has been an active competitor for over 25 years in Mexico and the US. Defying the laws of gravity on a nightly basis, Bombola has always been a fan favourite and never fails to put on a spectacular show. Lately he has become concerned with his weight and has been trying hard to lose it through various diets. The lack of his beloved junk foods has started to show in his in-ring performances, where a mean streak is emerging. His finisher the Chocolate Rain has to be seen to be believed. A Corkscrew Moonsault Press, launched off his standing opponent.

Booty Kall
He loves wrestling almost as much as he loves the ladies. An amatuer wrestler through high school and university (with a brief stint in MMA), Booty Kall has honed his skills to be at the top of his game. Arrogant, brash, and containing one hell of a mean streak, Booty Kall will do what he can to be the best in Ultra Wrestle. His finisher, the BK Bomb, which is a Samurai Power Bomb, will end most matches immediatly. Entertaining in and outside the ring, Booty Kall has quite a career ahead of him.

Big Gordon
The English all rounder. Gordon has won the Ultra Title, held his own in various deathmatches, and almost injured more than one opponent with the deadly Gordon Bomb. Jovial and friendly outside the ring, all business inside it. Gordon was trained to make use of his power, before leaving England to seek noteriety amongst the American indy circuit. Now in Ultra Wrestle, he can hone his skills in multiple areas, though at the moment his sights are set on the Ultra Title that Boomerang won off him many months ago.

Roster: Ref, Titles and Current Champs

Heya Ultra Wrestle fans! Mr D here with the first update explaining the fed and the roster. This post will be dedicated to our senior official (the referee), the belts Ultra Wrestle has, and their champions at this time.

Yes we have champions. See, we've been performing a lot of house shows around the place with a couple matches a night, just testing the waters and getting the talent ready for the level of quality i expect from matches in my federation. We've had some amazing fights already, a couple nasty injuries and the titles have changed hands on more than one occasion.

Well, let's start things off by intruding our senior official, Mustafa.Mustafa is a veteran of the wrestling business. An active competitor in his younger days, he retired around the age of 45 to become a referee. 20 years later, he's still going strong. His count has gotten a little slow over the years, but that's a slow count for everyone, so we let it slide.

I probably should mention this now, but we do things a little differently in Ultra Wrestle. To start with, our countout timer is 20. We also have a 5 second disqualification rule. If you're doing something illegal, you have 5 seconds to stop it or you will be disqualified. Also, our fed does not use rope breaks. That's right, being near the rope will not break any submission or pinfall. We feel this increases the flow of the matches.

Now let's move onto the belts.

First up are the Ultra Tag titles.


Any two competitiors can team up and be eligible for these titles. Ultra Wrestle encourages wrestlers to form tag teams, as we want this division to be full of competitive spirit. Plans are in the works for making a tag team tournament once a year for this very reason.

Our current tag champs are The Condors, Trebor and The Psycho Amigo.













Treber may be little but that doesn't stop him from being one tough SOB. With a style that combines high flying with deadly kicks, Trebor has been known to punish his opponents. His finisher, the Tiny Drop is a beautiful frog splash off the top rope that hurts a lot more than you'd think it would.

The Psycho Amigo (Fernandaz Rodreigo) is Ultra Wrestle's run of the mill luchador. Strong and Agile, his flips and slams never fail to impress. Amigo either uses The Plantation or his inverted Plantation to finish off his opponents. Both are forms of the Diamond Cutter, and look beautiful in their execution.

Our next belt is the Ultra Crazy title.


This is for those wrestlers that like to test the endurance of their bodies in either the Barbed Wire Deathmatch or the Landmine Deathmatch. Both utterly brutal, but with the right people in the ring, it can be a thing of beauty and wonder (as well as great entertainment).

Our current champ is Mitchell.


Old, lethargic, eats and smokes too much. That's Mitchell. In the 70s he was the star of a failed 90 minute TV pilot about the world's worst police officer. Soon after he made a career change to wrestling. Mitchell is rather boring to watch in the ring (and he usually wins his matches with sleeper holds after wearing down his opponents), but his stamina is astounding, taking unbelivable amounts of punishment and coming back for more. His finisher is The Gravy Boat, a variation on the Ashi Susumu. We have a feeling he chose it only cause the move ends with him in a sitting position.

Finally, there is the Ultra Title.

This belt is the top prize in the federation. To acquire it, and indeed retain it, you need to be on top of your game, fending off the best our fed has to offer.

The current Ultra champ is Boomerang.


Raised on the streets of Lilydale, Australia, Boomerang made his way over to the US where he trained himself up in the indy scene for a few years. Upon his arrival in Ultra Wrestle, his weaknesses as an amatuer wrestler became readily apparent. Strengthing his resolve Boomerang trained hard, changed his attitude and has become a dominant force in the company.

While most do not agree with the way Boomerang conducts himself inside and outside the ring, with his brash, hooligan like behavior, no one can argue with his results. Taking on all comers and showing them why he is the best in the company at the moment, it will take a special talent to pry the belt out of his fingers. His finisher, The Dingo Drop is a devastating Ultra Rana into a pin.

One final word. Another rule we have to keep things fair is not allowing a title holder to persue any other belt. If a tag champ wants to try for the Ultra title, he has to wait till his team loses the belt, and vice versa. Like most of our differing rules, we feel it keeps things interesting.

Next update, i'll start going through the rest of the roster. Till then, remember, Ultra Wrestle's where wrestling happens.

Welcome



Hi Folks.

My name is Dave Richards, but you can call me Mr. D. What does the D stand for you ask? Why, "don't mess with Mr. D." of course.

I've spent many years competing around the e-fed circuit in the early 2000s. I retired for quite a while, but now i'm back in the business with my own federation, Ultra Wrestle! We're gonna try our darndest to offer the finest wrestling the indys, the majors or the e-feds have ever seen.

This blog is an internet hub for all things UltraWrestle. Over the next week or two, i'll post up pictures of our current roster with a short bio on each wrestler (we've got 20 of the best up and comers at the moment, and am looking to add to our ranks).

After the introductions, i'll start posting the cards for our next shows. We're planning on 2 a month at this point in time, with plans for a couple of pay-per-views throughout the year to add to the excitement. Aside from the cards and results (we're planning on putting up video of the main events), we'll have interviews and promos here.

Be sure to stick around. Ultra Wrestle is all things Wrestling. Watch this space, we're gonna be huge!

- Mr. D.
