Texas Wrestling Entertainment News & Notes

Press Release

Rudy Boy Gonzalez issued the following press release today:

Texas Wrestling Entertainment returns to action for a double header weekend Saturday June 10 and Sunday June 11th.
First in conjunction with Nickelodeon and Splashtown waterpark in San Antonio, TWE goes head to head with Nacho Libre. Splashtown is located at 3600 IH 35 North for more information please call 210.227.1400.

Then the count down is on as TWE presents 'When Worlds Collide' Sunday June 11th at 7pm. The Main Event features two of the top indy stars today from around the wrestling world as Ring of Honor World Champion Bryan Danielson defends his title against the young superstar from Japan, Milano Collection AT. This is a $50 ringside ticket anywhere on the East coast, and has been looked at as one of the 'Dream Matches' on the Independent circuit.

Danielson, trained at the Shawn Michaels Wrestling Academy under the direction of TWE CEO Rudy Boy Gonzalez, Milano Collection was trained by none other than Japanese superstar Ultimo Dragon in the world reknown Toryumon Gym which was based in Tokyo Japan and then later Mexico City. MCAT is now training at the Texas Wrestling Academy under Gonzalez direction and has been making appearances all over the United States including Chikara, NWA-Anarchy, Ring of Honor, Pro Wrestling Elite to name a few, and has caught the attention of WWE talent scout Al Snow as well as TNA talent scout Terry Taylor. Danielson is no stranger to the WWE offices as he was under a WWE Developmental Contract 6 months into his career. Danielson has traveled the world several times over in his short 6 year career, and is known as one of the most respected athletes to step into the squared circle. QUALITY wrestling??????....it just doesn't get ANY better than this.

Also, known as students, the team of Skitzo and Hector Navarro will need to grow up real fast as the veteran team of Darin Childs and Jacob Ladder will be challenging the youngsters for the TWE Texas Tag Team Titles. This will not be a regular conventional tag team title match. This will be a Tables match. Winners will be declared by having both members of the opposite team dumped through the tables. Both members must be dropped through the tables. Winners get the belts.

Texas Champion Mike Foxx will defend his title against Jared Steel. Foxx defeated former Champion Kazushi late in 2005 and was granted a World title match against AWA World Champion Steve Corino. Corino came out on the winners end, but Foxx came out more determined than ever. They say styles make matches. In 2006 Steel has challenged TWE TV Champion Milano Collection AT 3 times and has lost close matches each time. But in the last several years Steel has gone head to head with Foxx in other areas of Texas for other promotions and has had more success. Steel may have Foxx's number.

Another superstar from the Orient is Sumi Sakai. She meets South Texas Superstar Vicki. Sumi is no stranger to the American audience as she has wrestled for every major promotion on the East Coast including Ring of Honor. Vicki has only been in the pro ranks a couple of years, but has some circles talking. One of the down points of her career was a broken collar bone at the hands of Heather Divine. Vicki came back more determined than ever, vowing vengeance and causing Divine to disappear.

Brett Thunder, who was scheduled to face The Upset Kidd, Spector, in a #1 Contenders Match, to Milano's TV title, is now with out an opponent, as Spector has departed from the highly competitive TWE, and has gone to a more friendlier promotion. Thunder has stated he will face anyone, from anywhere, to prove to the fans that he is the #1 contender to the TWE TV title.

Also, Latino has an open contract to face Biggs Dogg or Rudy Russo. Latino has signed on to the TWE/SPLASHTOWN Wet and Wild II the day before, and will face either Dogg or Russo and then the following day will face the other.

Also, just signed..........Houston native Brett Anthony has been signed to face Nikko, also from Houston. Both individuals are looking at being a part of the WWE try outs in July. Who will be invited. This match will hopefully be used as a stepping stone to that goal.

But first............. a special Match Of The Year Award will be presented to Bryan Danielson for the match up he took part in 2005 vs Great Kazushi in what was entitle, IMPACT. This was a fast paced one on one in which both athletes brought their 'A' game and the fans were treated to 20 non-stop minutes of great action.

$5 pre-sale tickets are on sale right now at the Texas Wrestling Academy, 4306 Naco Pass, or at Get it up Productions 3813 Pleasanton Rd and $8 at the door on the day of the event.

TERRY TAYLOR NAMED NEW DIRECTOR OF TNA TALENT RELATIONS
By: Press Release
6/5/2006 10:40:51 AM
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Terry Taylor has been named Director of Talent Relations for TNA Wrestling, it was announced today. Taylor has been living in Atlanta for the past 14 years. He previously worked for WCW and WWE/WWF, and was a wrestler for 17 years before officially retiring earlier this year. "I believe in TNA," Taylor said. "This company is doing big things and I am excited to be part of the team and contributing to the growth, as well as the future of the business as a whole." As Director of Talent Relations, Taylor is responsible for all matters related to TNA's on-air talent, including contract negotiations, management and expanding the company's roster. He will be working out of the Nashville office. "We are excited to have Terry in this important job," said Dixie Carter, president of TNA Wrestling. "We pride ourselves on our roster and want the very best for them. Terry is the perfect fit for relating to and aiding our talent."

This is huge news for anyone even 'thinking' about attending the Terry Taylor Clinic next month.

That last line is courtesy of RBG. At the risk of expressing any opinion that is in any way negative the San Antonio Independent Wrestling Scene would like to add, that any wrestler who is serious about advancing in this business would be a fool to let his own stubbornness stand in the way of attending a clinic of thimagnitudede.
