WWL Salvation - New York City Preview

The World Wrestling League is set to take professional wrestling by storm once again as the returning president and owner, Andrew Medina, holds the very last Salvation show with his company as a whole. This event will take place at Madison Square Garden in New York City, the most famous arena in the world.

The main event should prove to be a hot one, as Nevada Smith, the very last WWL Heavyweight Champion before the WWL splits into territorial federations, gets set to take on Copycat. Copycat has heard Nevada Smith's complaints on the direction President Medina is taking the company and took a shocking move in defending the president's actions. But what's going on between the two more than meets the eye.

The featured bout of the night should see some high-flying, mat-wrestling action as Minion, who has had some great success within the World Wrestling League, gets set to take on a man who will make his debut with the WWL, Fanatic! Both men have an air of mystery and this should prove to be something that would impress not only President Medina, but the three owners of the territorial federations!

Then we move on from the enigmatic to the strange as in a Triple Threat match, Damien Priest, with his motely crew The Horror Show, will get set to face El Arcangel, who handed Priest his very first lost in the WWL as Diablo, and throw in a man who will also make his debut, former CWWF World Heavyweight Champion....Triple Cross! Tempers are flaring up for this one as the fans and myself can not wait for this one to go down!

Vladimir Vlachinko, who makes his return to the World Wrestling League, will face Osama Bin Chillin', in the battle of who's worst? A Middle Eastern or a Russian? Okay, okay.....I shouldn't be so rude and disrespectful, but nevertheless, this match will have a true clash of styles with Vlachinko's professional in ring abilities going against Bin Chillin's unorthodox, kamikazi style. I'm looking for this one to steal the show personally.

Mindriot, who was fired by Sean Edmunds, was rehired by President Medina and he will enter the squared circle as he goes up against "Lethal" Lex Taylor, a veteran with roots in the CSWA. I'm looking forward to this match very much. This might be another show-stealer for sure. I'm looking for Mindriot to show a bit of resentment towards the WWL for firing him in the first place, just when he was becoming one of the newest, hottest stars in this sport. But he needs to control it if he's going to one-up Taylor, who will prove to be quite a challenge.

Gideon S. Darkheart is coming back to the World Wrestling League and has brought a monster with him! Did you see what he did to Captain Nappi?! Darkheart better not take Deranged so lightly however, because this guy will be on the hunt to destroy Darkheart. But the question always remains when dealing with Gideon S. Darkheart: Will he wrestle or have someone else wrestle for him? We'll find that out soon enough.

Kevin Gordon will also make his debut in the WWL, as he gets set to take on the returning Mad Caddy. Both men have ran into each other in federations such as the XWF, so I'm looking forward to a classic wrestling match between these two young athletes.

If you want to look at the future of the World Wrestling League and what is in store for it, then you're gonna look no further than this match. Ruckus, who is just 21 years old, with a veteran manager Dr. Johnny Wildside by his side, will take on Thunder Cat, who is even younger at the age of 18. Considering that Dizz, a former WWL Tri-American Champion, became the youngest champion of any kind in the World Wrestling League at the age of 18, let's just say that the wrestling world's future looks really bright.

And our first match of the card, but certainly not last previewed, we will have Lady Cryptonite, who has not only been a Women's Champion in the WWL, but in two other feds, will get set to take on Tiffany. I'm sorry fans, but I think women's wrestling is on a rise and it will start at MSG with these two spectacular individuals.

Folks, you can't miss your oppotunity to see the World Wrestling League's final Salvation show as it will all take place one day before the Live Draft, October 11th, 2002. President Medina is expected to make a huge announcement with all the details about the transition the WWL will be going through. I just hope I still have a job after this great event takes place in New York City. There are rumors that several other ring announcers will be trying out for jobs for positions in the three territorial federations, so I hope Dave Edwards is on his A game, which I'm sure he will be.

There have also been some other rumors concerning the return of other wrestling superstars. "Rage O' Fire" Jared Wells' name has been circulating for awhile now. There was even another rumor that President Medina contacted Edmunds to come back as a wrestler once again. Others who have come and gone from the WWL, as well as fresh new faces, will be in some form present at Salvation.

Well with that in mind, this has been Emanuel Gonzago saying, take care and.....I hope I'm still doing this when it's all said and done!
