Welcome wrestling fans to the pre-Acrophobia APEX newsletter. This is Jim Farrelly the voice of APEX and I’ve got the full Acrophobia card to run down, as well as, a very interesting interview with Warden Epps. I’ll get right into the card.
VS
First up in the opener are two young, hungry up and comers looking to make a name for themselves in Chris Stellar and Lamar Ison. Stellar will bring his…well, stellar high flying arsenal to show off what he can do. Ison is of course one half the Ice Brothers tag team. He is looking to solidify himself as a top singles competitor.
VS
Next up is a feud continued from Rise to the Summit. Monsignor Mascaras teams up with a new partner, the high flyin’ Hawaiian Analu Kekoa, to take on Senor Demonico and El Rudo.
VS
Then the top two factions in APEX, The Crimson Masks and The Pike’s Basin Outlaws, are on a quest to prove which is better by showcasing their Acro members as The Crimson Mask II takes on Smoken’ Gunnar Wyatt.
VS
In the semi man event Azul Fantastico challenges Super Mosca. You may recall, it was Mosca who tried to rip the mask off of Azul after the trios match at Rise to the Summit. Azul will be looking for some pay back.

The main event will crown a new Acro champion! The plan is for a four way iron man match between Warden Epps, Andres Valiante, Ricky Santana and The Emerald Dragon, but we have had trouble getting a hold of Dragon. The last time he was seen by anyone was the night of the Triumvirate Challenge when Warden Epps unmasked him in a fit of rage after Dragon pinned Epps tying the series and costing Epps the victory. The show will go on with or without Dragon. We have no word on if Dragon will be replaced in the match and, if so, who it will be should he not show up.
Speaking of this whole situation, I interviewed Warden Epps recently and here is take on it…
“This thing just will not go away. It is absolutely ridiculous. Every single night after every single show I get fans coming up to me saying what I did to Emerald Dragon was wrong; that I’m a bad guy, blah, blah, blah. All I did was yank that ugly mask off his face. A mask! That’s all it was; a piece of his freaking wardrobe. Would I be getting the same treatment if I took off his shoe? I highly doubt it. I try to explain that to these moronic fans but then they are like, oh the mask is sacred blah blah blah. Are you serious? Mask aren’t sacred in wrestling, they are worn by people who don’t have enough skill to get by so they have to create a “character”…as well as ugly people. As I proved at the Triumvirate Challenge Emerald Dragon is both of those examples. So don’t come at me with this “masks are sacred and I’m a bad guy crap”. If you want to watch a bunch of lame, no-talent hacks run around pretending to be wrestlers then go somewhere else…go watch Azteca Pro. I am the real deal. At Acrophoiba I will prove it once and for all and finally be recognized as the best wrestler in the world after I win the Acro championship."
