Farrelly Report 02/22/11

            Welcome APEX fans to another report. This is the first report following the First Anniversary Show held on the 29^th of January. There is a lot of backlash stemming from that show that I’m going to address. But first I want to take this opportunity to say congratulations to the new APEX Champion Dex Reed, who was victorious against former champion Wiley Jack.

            Recently Warden Epps made clear his dissatisfaction with the stipulation of the triple threat match he competed in on the 29^th. He has pleaded his case for a round robin style tournament between himself, Andres Valiente and The Emerald Dragon. Personally I think he is just dissatisfied with outcome of the match rather than the match itself. I can’t help but doubt that he would be this concerned with the integrity of the Acro division if he’d won. Never the less, he does have a point. I have spoken with Andres and Dragon and they have both agreed to take part in the round robin tournament. It will be held this Saturday night, February 26 at the Cobb County Civic Center. I am dubbing it, The Triumvirate Challenge.

            As it turns out, Warden Epps wasn’t the only person who was dissatisfied with how their match played out. Bubba Brock has issues as well. Here is what he had to say…

Bubba Brock:               Since Jim Farrely is in a good mood, granting everybody their match wishes, I thought I’d make a request of my own. I want a match with you Rhett Ruckus! Back at the anniversary show, you where shooting you mouth off and acting all hot shit with your open challenge. I came out there to shut your young punk ass up, but I had my thunder stolen by those two hillbillies and those Caribbean Cocks of Carnage or whatever they call themselves. After that, the match became an all out, every-man-for-himself brawl. I’ll admit that it takes a tough SOB to win a match like that and you did. But I want to find out just how tough of an SOB you really are. I’m willing to stake my reputation that you are not tougher or an S of a bigger B than I am. I’ll be waiting on you in the ring this Saturday Ruckus.

            Wow, strong words from Bubba Brock. My policy is I will allow any open challenges as long as both parties accept. I guess we will have to wait until this Saturday to find out if Rhett Ruckus accepts Bubba Brock’s challenge.

            Also coming up this Saturday is the continuation of the APEX Tag Team Championship Series.  At the anniversary show we saw Onyx beat The Working Guys by a count out, giving Onyx 4 points in the series. The Pike’s Basin Outlaws got the better of The Crimson Masks by pin fall giving the Outlaws 5 points and the early lead in the series. This Saturday night we’ll see The Midnight Warriors take on The Pike’s Basin Outlaws and The Crimson Masks taking on Onyx. We'll see how the Tag Team Championship Series takes shape from there.

            Last but not least, as I mentioned before, Dex Reed is the new APEX champion and the question many are asking is who will he be defending the title against? Well I plan to have that question answered this Saturday night at The Triumvirate Challenge. Josh Savvy and Mal Mascaras both had impressive showings at the anniversary show and that in my mind makes them the top two contenders in the APEX division at the moment. This Saturday they will be in the ring against each other to determine who will go onto face Dex Reed for the APEX championship. That about wraps it up APEX fans. Tune in this Saturday night for The Triumvirate Challenge. It is sure to be an exciting show.

Warden Epps:              I made it my goal, that in the new APEX, I would establish myself as the top competitor in the ACRO Division. I will be the guy that carries this division for years to come. Now, tonight wasn’t exactly a huge step in that direction I admit that. I take nothing away from Emerald Dragon, he came out on top tonight, but I can’t help but point out the fact that I didn’t get beat. I lost the match sure, but my only fault was I wasn’t fast enough to get to Dragon before he made Andres Valiente tap out to the Dragon Lock. I didn’t tap out. I didn’t get my shoulders pinned to the mat. I didn’t get DQ’d or counted out, I didn’t get beat!

                                    Now far be it from me to second guess the “higher ups”, I mean I certainly understand why our match was a three way dance; we are the three best in the division, the triumvirate if you will. It makes since to book us in that match, but I don’t think it’s quite the best way to determine which one of us is the better wrestler, which is what it is all about right?

That is why I propose a one night round robin tournament. Each man faces each man, one on one, no stips, no excuses. It is as fair as it gets. I challenge you, Mr. Farrelly, to make this happen. If Andres and Dragon are the type of competitors I now they are they will have no problems with accepting my challenge. This would be the best way to determine once and for all who the best in the ACRO Division is and the best way for me to step up and take my rightful place as the top athlete in all of APEX.
