May 24, 2010 Brooklyn, NY

 

Get ready fight fans the match many of you have been waiting for has finally been signed on the dotted line. "The Bulldog of Brooklyn" Tony Biella and Little Tony Moose will square off for the Five Boroughs Heavyweight Championship on June 26th at The Caputo Arena at St. Bernards in Brooklyn NY.

 

Biella, has been chasing his dream of becoming heavyweight champion since June of 2009 when he entered the Brooklyn Brawl, a 30 man over the top rope elimination match at St. Patrick's. Having the odds stacked heavily against him, as he drew #1 and was the first entrant, lasted over 45 minutes and was part of one of the most incredible matches in all of Professional Wrestling when all 4 of the final participants went over the top rope seemingly at the same time. A fatal four way was ordered for October at Holy Angels Catholic Academy. "The match was won, I was bringing the belt home, Moose was unconscious on the mat, all I had to do was pin him and Jason Static took what I had worked so hard for away with one swing of a metal folding chair" 

 

Due to Static's actions, Biella and Ryan Roxbury were involved in a 3-way dance for the title with Little Tony Moose at New Utrecht HS in November. Again, just as it looked like Biella was going to bring the title home in his own backyard, The Peacemaker, (who Biella stopped from using his nightstick on Malta earlier in the night) arrived on the scene and beat Biella so bad with a foreign object that he had to be rushed to nearby Lutheran Medical center for treatment. After two weeks under a doctors current supervision. Biella began the long road back only to be stopped by Commissioner Andreas Fudd in early January when Hacksaw Jim Dugan headlined an ECPW event at Our Lady of Guadalupe. "I have the most respect for our owner Gino Caruso and Commissioner Fudd but a man knows when a man can compete. It shouldn't be left to those who have never even stepped foot inside the squared circle", said Biella.

 

After another setback when he dislocated his kneecap and needed surgery in early February, Biella returned not even 3 weeks later against doctors orders and won a battle royal earning him a shot at the title. Even after getting another roadblock thrown in his path, he overcame a stipulation thrown in by Moose when he called upon long time friend Nunzio to defeat him and the Peacemaker. Then there was no-where for Moose to go. 

 

Little Tony Moose, one of the most underhanded in the business, has been around long enough to know exactly how to handle someone like Biella, he says. "The greaseball is not even in my league. It will be my honor to wipe him off the ECPW roster and hopefully off the planet for good on the 26th. He shouldn't even show up unless he's planning on spending another 2 weeks in the hospital. tell him that. Be careful what you wish for....capeesh??"

 

Biella has been training with a mystery trainer at a remote location and has been unavailable for comment over the past few days. Rumor has it, the trainer has some tie to Little Tony Moose and his minion The Peacemaker but just what kind of tie is unknown at this time.

 

Only time will tell. More on this story as it becomes develops.

PJ AND THE PRINCE: AN ATTACK ON A NEIGHBORHOOD

When Wrestling returned to Brooklyn for the first time in over 20 years on May 22, 2008, the first song to blare out over the PA system was one of Middle Eastern decent. With the temperature of the arena similar to that of his home town, Prince Akkanatan walked down the isle with a devious grin, truly believing that money, power and oil could take him to the top of the newly formed 5 boroughs territory.

He entered the ring, took out his check-book and as he called Fr. Madura “Rabbi” in a blatant show of disrespect, offered to buy the church from the Diocese of Brooklyn / Queens for the oil underneath the building.

The Prince and his group of underhanded thugs have been wreaking havoc across ECPW for over 2 years. To give credit where credit is due, very few have been able to stop him. He has been trained by the best in the business. He is one of the best strategic wrestlers to ever grace the canvas of an ECPW ring. Getting most of his in-ring education from his uncle, The Iron Sheik (A WWE Legend, Hall of Famer and Olympic Champion). He does not need to use the tactics he uses to win matches, but he does. Guess that’s what money and power does to you, even when you don’t have to…..you cheat to win.

On June 26^th, he steps in the ring with the Fallen Star, P.J. Storm. Brother of the late and missed  Mike “Tunderbolt” Norton, he comes from a family of talented and successful professional wrestlers. He is continuing a life long legacy and is doing it in his own backyard. A true fan favorite, Storm has close ties to “The Bulldog of Brooklyn” Tony Biella and ECPW 5 Boroughs Lightweight Champion Ryan Roxbury, (A group many unofficially call “The Neighborhood”, since they all hail from Brooklyn and are a very tight clique in and out of the ring).

He is quickly rising to the top of the ECPW ladder and will be the second member of the group to lock up with the Prince. “I have been watching a lot of tapes of old matches The Prince has wrestled. Especially the matches with Biella from “08 and early “09”. He comes in my neighborhood and disrespects the best fans in the world and I have a problem with that. I know his weaknesses and my skill and ability will overwrite his bankbook. I have the greatest fans behind me and I know that they’ll give me the power and the strength to destroy him.” says Storm.

The prince comes with baggage, heavy baggage. He is managed by The Pharaoh, a sneaky, slimy individual who has cost many worthy competitors their match’s vs the Prince. If he receives his visa and at The Caputo Arena, lurking ringside, Storm needs to have eyes in the back of his head. I’m sure the members of “The Neighborhood” will not be far away, watching every move.
