Former WWE star abuses late Ultimate Warrior at UK event

Has been hunk rips off WWE legend

Former wrestling junkie Chris Masters recently appeared in the UK at an inferior wrestling promotion copying the recently deceased Ultimate Warrior in a distasteful show of theft and mockery. After entering to the Warrior's music and portraying Warrior in the match without any permission from the deceased star who had clear problems with plagiarism, and use of his copyrighted issues, Master's claimed it was to 'honour' his memory.

Steroid abuser Master's used the "honour of Warrior" as a cheap excuse to try to make a name for himself once more after the wrestling world lost interest with the former drug taking fanatic.

The promotion in question has been one that constantly steals and copy's WWE PPV names such as "SpringSlam" and "Money in the Bank" matches without any taste or decency, among others.

The rip off pair have infuriated fans and viciously abuse those who disagree with them telling them if they don't like it to get lost, among other harsh language. Instead of taking a balanced approach the promotion and wrestlers in question display such ignorance that they fail to accept they are neglecting their fans on personal assumption they are superior to all.

Failed WWE superstar of past Masters is fondly remembered for his steroid abuse and upset towards Triple H for taking a stand against such dishonour. In 2006 Triple H said to Masters on TV "What are you going to call it: How to Lose Fifty Pounds in four weeks?" in regards to a muscle building book. Master's is said to still hate Triple H over the comments of Masters' own steroid abuse at the height of WWE's wellness policy abuses.

He also took a recent dig in February 2014 at WWE Chairman Vince McMahon saying he was "barely" accessible to communicate with.

Master's is known for being a 'kiss and tell' since his WWE and all-round career dwindled. Simply put, no one is interested in the media talking liability who takes everything personally with bitter aftertaste.

Any suggestions Master's makes tend to be shrouded without any weight. He is also accused of doing "backhanders" from sources after Master's starts claiming companies should hire certain ignorant wrestlers. Masters rely's on a UK market with numbers of occasional appearances. Fans believe this is fuelling the suggestions to also get him a profile that has already peaked while favouring locker-room stars at the top  of the card.

Johnny Gargano: From gold star to goofball

Johnny Gargano: From gold 

star to goofball

John Anthony Nicholas Gargano, an eight year freelancer on the independent wrestling scene made an interesting name for himself.

The twenty-five year old began his debut in October 2005 and has since made certain interest on the wrestling scene. In 2006 he was crowned CAPW’s Junior Heavyweight champion lasting over a year where competition, granted, was minimal, however was catapulted into a further spotlight beginning his entry level to the profession.

During his career, the naïve budding youngster held a multitude of titles in his new uprising surge of interest on the independent's as a minimal name of interest. Gargano soon changed that perspective in 2009 when he became involved with the Dragon Gate USA and Evolve promotions. Convinced by Colt Cabana after a match with All American Wrestling (AAW) ‘bana suggested contacting Gabe Sapolsky, recently departed booker of Ring of Honor, who chose to scout talent for the Dragon Gate company in a change of scenery. After informing, Cabana directed him to Sapolsky. Gargano was given an opportunity in July ’09 with a multi dark match loss. Gargano officially joined on November 28^th in a championship tournament, failing to win, however set him as an on-screen talent.   

Gargano followed with a defeat of Chris Dickinson on Jan 16^th 2010 to remain a new star on television. Gargano finally inked a deal in May that year after more dark matches of consideration. Taking on a massive challenge, Gargano fought CIMA in a loss on Sept 26^th after one of the company’s founders and toughest fighters put Gargano in a comfortable position as a result. This set a humble offering of his services to CIMA’s faction Warriors International, which was rejected. Spurned, instead Johnny formed a group with Rich Swann and Chuck Taylor collectively known as Ronin.

In September 2011 Gargano would become a two time CHIKARA tag team champion with pal Chuck Taylor towards June 2012 finding his niche in the comedy promotion.

Competition in YAMATO?

Come November 2011, back in Dragon Gate, Gargano would capture the Open the Freedom Gate heavyweight title from YAMATO in a daring match for company turnaround projections. Under Gargano’s rule, however, the title came into disrupte. Dragon Gate, believing the championship to be in sustainable hands soon became invalid three months in. Having held the championship for 536 days and currently today, the feline loving thug, with his half-hearted, lazy approach to match layout, effort and ignorance regarding match portrayal has become an intense liability. Laboured, apathetic and bland, green bean Gargano, struggling to maintain any dominance or impact as champion should be launched into a series with YAMATO and lose the title if Dragon Gate wish to continue to keep its doors open, have a monumental champ and to be filled with powerful aggression among intense passion to rebrand its company tiers as a credible option. YAMATO can have an interesting series with other performers afterwards making the title meaningful and the company of interest once again.

Gargano also joined Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) in 2013. The intense, tough setting in PWG doesn’t have the capacity to house dated Gargano and keep its credibility with other performers if it is to continue its rising success on the independent scene and should sidestep the problem before it continues, rather than allow pride to ruin their progression.

Gargano, already floundering in matches with stars in certain companies, has become a constrained mess without any format or logically concepts. Becoming a complete embarrassment and in need of a charisma transplant the absurd borefest limits many companies than enhances them.

Goofy Gargano, with his gleaming stance and incapable booking qualities, is rapidly casting doubt among the independent wrestling scene as a legitimate choice for anything other than looking good and failing dismally.

So much so was the appearance at Preston City Wrestling's (PCW) Springslam event, (on April 26th) a constant rip off of WWE's branding including "Money in the bank" matches among many washed up old WWE stars, in a one on one match with homosexual Noam Dar. The clunky, defunct and minor scrap in hardcore fashion was a diabolical level of disjointed interaction from both incomplete lamebrains. Gargano lost.

Disgracing the independent scene, companies worked with and boring performances enamoured with dorky displacement and self-enhancing status for himself, Gargano has become a wasteful setting in the wrestling world which has become more harmful to any company that utilises his so called talent. If there is no time for the business, it should not have the time for him with such pitiful choices which harm the pro wrestling landscape further along the course of its already troublesome financial times in the independent settings where wrestling may have to shut its doors if it cannot balance its output righteously enough.
