COCA-COLA ROYAL RUMBLE CHAMPION 2009

The Royal Rumble
The Royal Rumble is one of the AWA’s most sought after victories. This annual event draws crowds from all over and can only be described as chaotic. This year’s event saw 22 wrestlers take to ring and only one man leave as Royal Rumble Champion with the other 21 being eliminated over the top rope. Defending champ The OZ was, as the tradition goes, first to enter. The other 21 men drew random numbers out of a hat to dictate the order in which they would make their way to the ring. The worst draw was given to Ed-Electric who started off the match with The OZ, if either had any aspirations of being the royal Rumble Champ they would have to outlast all of the fresh competitors that would enter the ring at 30 second intervals. The best draw was that of Vinnie Vegas who was the last man to enter the ring, which at this stage was crammed full of talent. The last four men in the ring were Bobby Rose, Mr Money, Vinnie Vegas and the Rumble specialist himself, The OZ. After eliminating Money and Rose, Vegas and OZ stood face to face, shook hands and engaged in the final battle to determine the next Champion. Vegas eliminated OZ in classic style with a hurricarana to the outside. The Rockstar may have missed out in his Cruiserweight fight but he is now the Royal Rumble Champion and on a high for his Ladder Match for the Title come the next House Of Pain.

| This newcomer to the AWA is shrouded in mystery, his real name eludes us and he has refused any interviews. What we do know is that this Goth persona is fuelled by hate and a burning desire for violence. This man joined the sport for himself and his own selfish thirst for the blood of others. His obsession with vampires and darkness translate in the ring to what is by far the most sadistic wrestler I have ever seen. The emotionless foreboding look only leaves his face momentarily for one of bliss when he is inflicting pain on his opponent. All I can say is the lightweight division had better watch out because there is a “Vampire” looking for blood! | |

| The Medicine Man from Kinshasa, Congo, has travelled his way down through Africa on a mission to spread his dark magic and evil ideology. Rashidi brought himself up on the streets of one of the worlds most dangerous cities.10 years old and on the cusp of death he was taken in by a witch doctor who nursed him back to health and imparted him with the dark ways of black magic. At 18 the witch doctor gave Rashidi a mission to spread the word of this sinister religion and ever since he has travelled south, using his natural gift of Wrestling as a hook for his ominous missionary work. | |

| A long standing member of the AWA, Rasta is a mainstay of the cruiser weight division. An ex-professional boxer, he was banned for life from the sport for constantly contravening its doping policies. Born and bred in Congo, his life was transformed by the music of Bob Marley and the examples of Marcus Garvey and Haile Selassie. This proud African resents his continents colonial past and is driven by anger and hatred for anything opposed to his pan-africanist Rastafari beliefs. Rasta’s angst has driven him to distraction; alongside Nick Fury and Johnny Pallazio his discourse has become that of destructive Rebellion rather than reform. | |

| Latin America has long been associated with great professional wrestlers like Eddie Guerrero, Rey Misterio, Konnan and Gory Guerrero, just to name a few. In the AWA we are blessed with El-Matador, the Latino heartthrob. This star of South African wrestling has earned his respect from the AWA fans by always making himself accessible and never failing to sign autographs or have his picture taken. Few know that this Puerto Rican lightweight competitor was frowned upon by his family for taking up professional wrestling as his sporting kin had gained a reputation for producing some of Puerto Rico’s greatest soccer players. To save the family name he immigrated to South Africa and took the pseudonym El Matador, symbolising his willingness to take on anything and everything put in his way. | |

| Perhaps the most exciting wrestler in the country; his high flying moves have rocketed him to super-stardom amongst fans of AWA. Revyv found his way into the AWA ring through pure passion for the sport. A long time backyard wrestler, he put his body on the line simply entertaining his friends with mad high risk moves off roofs and through tables in nightclubs. It was in this informal arena that he first perfected his phenomenal Corkscrew Press. With no challengers left in the backyard, Revyv was scouted by Shaun Koen to try his hand at professional wrestling and ever since the Cape Town local has flourished. Now a title contender for the AWA Tow Bars Cape Lightweight Championship many believe him to be the next man to hold the trophy, all we know is he is… Flipping Awesome. |
