Re: 2011 Grand Prix Roster/Sign-Up
Insight (fo' REALZ).....
Last time the Grand Prix went and happened, the champions were thus:
World - Nova
TV - Joe The BOUSE
National - Teresa Q
The only one of them who qualified for the GPX, weight-wise, was Teresa, and that's because women (particularly athletic women) as a rule will weigh below 235. Included in the GPX was Felix Red, former NFW World Champion who had fallen on some hard times, and the rest of the field were relative newcomers to the NFW - though High Flyer was a many times World Champion elsewhere - with a pool of cruiser type wrestlers flocking to the fed it made sense to highlight it in some fashion.
The Final Four of the Grand Prix saw Impulse vs. SARS the Clown who was undefeated to that point, until Cimon pussed out and no-showed our blowoff like a lil' b*tch, and Dr. Curiosity vs. Felix Red, that went to a no-contest and was decided in a triangle match that also debuted High Flyer as Fakepulse before Curiosity ultimately won.
With that said, there's history and precedent to the event that makes it unique to the NFW. I don't know that it's as relevant as it was the first time around considering Impulse weighs less than the rest of the company, Castor is only 245 (thus not making it by 10 pounds), and they're going to wrestle for the WORLD title at Reloaded. But it's still nice to have this as a NFW tradition.
