Anyone ever hear of them? They run out of northern Maine and they even got a website.

http://www.pyrochampionshipwrestling.com/home.html

Are they for real?

[GrayGhost]

Could it be backyarders? They do have a nice site and are running out of a Civic Center in North Bumblefuck Maine..hehe.

I have heard of Bull Moose Calhoun I think, none of the others.

[superstarml]

There was a huge debate about them on the NAWA forum....

In my opinion it's a backyard fed with a ring.

441.64 Miles from my house. I think thats a bit far to check it out. CURSES I mighta seen an Elk, Caribou or some of them fine Woodsy Northern Mainers.

Quote:

from their website in the ABOUT tab: Pyro Championship Wrestling was founded in Caribou, Maine, and has been growing since September of 2006. Its objective: to revolutionize the wrestling business with creative innovation and dynamic new ideas in management and operations. PCW caught the eye of the public during the winter months of 2007 at its first show in the Aroostook Centre Mall in November, and the 8 weeks of free promotional shows that followed. The agreement between the mall and PCW came to an abrupt end in January of 2008. Although the time spent in the Mall was short-lived, the reaction of the public proved that PCW is here to stay. Since then, PCW has been putting on shows about once a month at various locations around Aroostook County, continuing to put on the best possible show for the fans. The future of PCW looks as bright as ever, booking shows in bigger venues, spreading further across the state, and even negotiating a possible television timeslot are in the works. Our licensed professionals are ready to give the fans the best show possible. PCW invites anyone with prior wrestling experience or that thinks they have what it takes to make it in wrestling to inquire about becoming part of our roster. For those interested, download an application here. Follow the printed instructions and be patient in waiting for a response; there are a lot of interested applicants out there!

Remember, it may take a while to get a response...there are a lot of people in Northern Maine who are looking to get inadequate training in becoming a pro wrestler.

... He does the pee dance while he's talking

[Number One Jerk]

worst sport coat ever looks like stay puft marshmellowman

[DemonicDavidDeacon]

Yikes... I just watched some of their stuff on YouTube...







These clowns couldn't sell a sandwich, let alone each other's moves.

I mean some of their spots are okay, but they need to learn how to hit the ropes and not flop around aimlessly like they do.

I looked at their roster. At least 2/3s of the active roster are Hot Topic cashier rejects ( Do they even have a Hot Topic at the Presque Isle Mall?*)

And before anyone says anything about Marion Lawless and crew in NAWA, That's only about 1/3rd of the roster if even

(AND before anyone says "Well David, aren't you trying to get into training and don't you call yourself Demonic," I'm not a worker yet and I'm open to other stuff.)

And... is that a padded ring? Are you fucking with me?

I hope some of these clowns try to come here and defend themselves. They already did on the NAWA forum but wouldn't face the reaming they would here. These clowns ARE glorified backyarders.

*a note for those who have never been there, it's tiny. There are like 10 stores and he only redeeming factor is that it has a Tim Horton's

EDIT: Not done ranting.

What the hell kind of name is "Pyro Championship Wrestling?" It doesn't even make sense. Does it mean that they're all pyromaniacs? Well, that makes sense. Look at them...

http://www.pyrochampionshipwrestling.com/home.html

At least the website's not bad

[Number One Jerk]

haha yeah i work for nawa and they tryed to recruit me and they had a guy the kyle wells guy work me in milo lets just say things happened not that i condone that in any way

[Tiger Jackson]

They have a better roster than that company that runs at the arcade in Somerville. Infact, DC Hannon and Brian Reese's Cup should jump ship.

I usually don't watch the online footage posted here, but I've checked out a few over the last couple of days...including this stuff above.

1) Backyard alarms should always go off when you watch "mat wrestling" with right handed headlocks. For the uninitiated, everything is worked to the left side of the body in America and Europe. Watch a match where someone on TV is working a leg or an arm; it's always on the left side. The first 4 seconds or so into the first posted video has the kid applying a right handed headlock. The selling was...comical, at best. I also saw someone take a chokeslam and never leave his feet.

2) I don't think I saw one person wearing real wrestling gear in either video.

3) I don't know if they have a Hot Topics in Presque Isle...but judging from the builds on everyone I saw on the footage, I'm left to wonder if they have a gym in Presque Isle.

4) I wouldn't come down so hard on these guys if they were like the guys at Murphy's Gym in Manchester, NH. You want to do fake fake wrestling? Fine...but don't charge admission for it! Stop passing yourself off as something you ain't!

5) I'd rather have my shitty web site and my well trained wrestlers than the other way around.

[DemonicDavidDeacon]

*Writes the left-side stuff down in his notebook* Good to know.

There are at least "fitness areas" in nearby hotels and the UMaine campus there has something because my friend did janitorial work there while he went to school. Not sure if it's open to the public or not...

Regardless, these clowns aren't concerned with taking care of themselves or they'd learn how to wrestle properly. But yeah, they'd look less like idiots if they did some cardio to work that endurance up... and if they ditched the pad so they could actually run in that funhouse attraction they call a wrestling ring.

EDIT: Actually I can't tell if their ring is padded or if they have some kind of plastic tarp over it. Either way, it looks stupid and makes the already poorly-mobilized look even more graceless.

They have no concern over making the flow in a match look natural. It flows about as smoothly as wet sand through a funnel.

AND to elaborate on the "Hot Topic" thing: If EVERYONE in your fed is "Dark and Mysterious" or "Disturbed and Insane" NOBODY is.

If I'm so hot about how bad this snake brody pack looks, it's because I think Northern Maine deserves better. At least NAWA is spreading more northward and did quite well in it's Presque Isle show.

[DemonicDavidDeacon]

...rofl, I forgot that the word filter here turns retard into Snake Brody

[TheResistance]

I live up here in BFE Aroostook County Maine. I have seen all but two shows and let me say the quality is sinking and sinking fast. You can only hope for so much from people who know nothing but what they see on tv.

Out of 12 or so wrestlers, maybe 3 are any good. The matches are crap at best. The "trainers" are not even the good wrestlers.

PCW is in a little war with the AWF (Aroostook Wrestling Federation) both are backyard feds with PCW management (left awf with some of their wrestlers) and started PCW.

The ring is concave in the middle and the cover of the ring is a red tarp.

They have moved from place to place and now they are having shows an hour away from their home base because the local fans do not want to pay 6 dollars a piece (for adults AND 6 for kids).

Storylines are for friends only. The others who work the hardest and make it look the best are the ones who get left out in the dark. They are bringing in outside wrestlers to make themselves look legit.

AWF even "invaded" one of their shows and handed out shirts to fans attending the PCW show. Their former PCW champion Phoenix told a little kid to take the shirt off, the fan was about 7. And no, he wasn't acting, he was dead serious.

Their website used to have a good forum but when the heat got turned up on their own forum from fans they censored the whole thing and took it offline.

PCW claims to be legit "licensed" wrestlers. (pay 60 or so dollars for a license) and whala.... a "licensed" professional wrestler.

AWF might be backyard, but they only wrestle for the local fans and never wanted to be anything more or pretend to be a fed for monetary purposes. PCW is bad news and by this time next year.... a serious after thought.

[DemonicDavidDeacon]

"Licensed" may be the only true part of that 3-word title. They are neither professional or wrestlers.

"Things happened?" I'm somewhat confused.

But I'm curious, Johnny, what does the rest of the NAWA roster think, if anything, about these clowns?

[wolfgang_magnum]

More talk. I'm glad my federation has evolved from that.

[GrayGhost]

Do you have more fans or moose up in Caribou for wrestling, or that area? Man, thats WAYYYY Up there.

[wolfgang_magnum]

Definitely fans. sure northern maine isn't know for its population, but we do have good fan response

We are glad you have evolved beyond us all. Please feel free to use your newfound elite status amongst the upper echelon and ignore all us little peons.

[wolfgang_magnum]

Everyone needs to understand this...I have an Ego it comes with age, but I'm thinking about going Eco now. So I can save money and get more wrestling gear.
