EMPIRE STATE WRAP-UP

11/6/10:

On August 6, 2010, the landscape of ECPW Empire State was changed forever when the “grand scheme” finally came together with Kage joining the Enterprize.

The fans watched in complete disbelief as Kage turned his back on Sean Carr, AnarchY, and the entire city of Binghamton. They voiced their displeasure loudly, spewing vulgarities, littering the ring with everything that wasn't nailed down, and vowing revenge for their fallen favorites.

Earlier that evening Kage completely fooled everyone, including upper ECPW management, by shockingly announcing his retirement. Citing years of wear and tear on the body and a recently torn ligament in his knee, the stage was set for a heart felt ended to a storied career.

Before he left, Kage said in one last act for the fans, that he would be the special referee for the Sean Carr verses IB Green ladder match. After Carr defeated Green, the Enterprize attacked Carr 5-1, AnarchY ran in to help Carr, but the odds were just to much. Kage, having seen enough, seemingly ran in to make the save and even the odds. Just as Carr rose to his feet he was met with a thunderous chair shot that echoed throughout the streets of Binghamton, NY.

KAGE JOINS THE ENTERPRIZE and beats the holy hell out of Sean Carr and AnarchY, leaving them in a pool of blood.

As a result – AnarchY's quit ECPW. After losing his best friend, Keith Zimmer to the Enterprize, and now Kage, who had become somewhat of a mentor to him, AnarchY walked away from it all, the burden of betrayal had become to heavy bare.

The whole retirement speech, the knee injury, and being the special referee were all apart of the master plan that has sent Empire State into a bizarro-land, twilight-zone type atmosphere that was only further complicated by the happenings of October 8th in Endicott, NY.

Lil Daddy C, who was planning to take a break from ECPW due to personal family reasons, wanted to have one more with his heated rival Sean Carr and take back the 607 Championship he lost on June 11th in Cortland, NY.

The match took place on October 8, 2010 at Rexer's Karate & Fitness Center in Endicott, NY. Like all of their matches before it, Carr and Daddy C tore the house down, leaving the fans in attendance standing in anticipation for who would come out on top. On that night, it was Sean Carr who got the duke after a hard-hitting, nearly 25 minute match that seen both competitors pull out all the stops.

The plot thickened even more after the match when Sean Carr extended his hand to Lil Daddy C out of respect for his departing rival. Staying true to fashion, Daddy C would tap knuckles with Carr, much to the delight of the Endicott crowd who chanted as one, “SHAKE HIS HAND.”

Furious by Daddy C's decision to show Carr respect, the DOS, Kage and IB Green hit the ring. Kage cut down Carr on the microphone and said Daddy C was doing a dis-service to the Enterprize by showing respect to the enemy. Just as Daddy C went to explain his actions he was attacked from behind by the man he formed the Enterprize with in the first place, IB Green. The DOS got the better of the exchange, but Carr and Daddy C were able to grab the microphone and challenge the DOS to a match on December 3rd in Binghamton, NY at American Legion Post 80.

Without hesitation the DOS accepted, promising to rid ECPW once and for all of the nobodies known as Sean Carr and Lil Daddy C.

So let's get this straight: Lil Daddy C is going to team with Sean Carr to take on the DOS, Kage and IB Green in Binghamton, NY – THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD!!!

From bitter foes to friends? No, not friends, but Sean Carr and Lil Daddy C will come together for a common purpose of defeating the DOS and earning the respect of the wrestling world in doing so. That's what this is all about people, respect!!! Not titles, not money – this thing has gotten super personal.

It was promised that the landscape was going to change – and boy, did we deliver. BUT – that was only the beginning – YOU ain't seen nothing yet!!!

4/7/10:

The last time East Coast Professional Wrestling came to the JM McDonald Sports Complex in Cortland NY, the ECPW Empire State Commissioner Keith Zimmer screwed over his best friend Anarchy in his match with IB Green finally revealing himself as the leader of the Enterprise. This time around the Enterprise has declared Cortland their very own funhouse, said that everything is about to change, and people will be made an example of.

In what was announced originally as an ECPW Empire State Championship match between IB Green and Rainbow has instead been turned into the first example of change as "ECPW Empire State Commissioner Keith Zimmer has hand chosen Cortland's very own and ECPW’s first handicapped manager Glen Post to face IB Green for the title on April 24th in Cortland NY. That’s right, people, IB Green will face a handicapped man in a wheelchair. What kind of man has IB Green become, and what levels will he, and the Enterprise stoop to?

In another match announced for the card, the brother of Glen Post, the Rainbow Warrior will team up with “The Perfect Weapon” Shawn Armstrong, coming together despite their recent feud to form the team of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and they will face “High and Mighty” consisting of Mark Kreiger and his walking block party back up Superbad.

Keith Zimmer is looking to add more gold to the Enterprise and by that the ECPW 607 Champion Little Daddy C will take on Nick Napoleon who is being forced against his will to defend his ECPW Daredevil Championship. “This is an outrage!!” says Jiinx the Dedpool, co-host of the Original Geeks Podcast. “Little Daddy C is too fat to flip and fly around like Nick does.” Well judging by the attitude and recent actions of Little Daddy C, Nick Napoleon will most defiantly have his hands full in Cortland that night, and that includes the members of the Enterprise who will be present at ringside.

Coming off of both the hot shows in Binghamton and McAdoo, the Enterprise has stated to the OGPC they are done fighting with Sean Carr. He’s not worth their time, he’s a flash in the pan, and instead Keith Zimmer has decided to put a $5,000 bounty on the head of “Hybrid” Sean Carr which has been accepted by Prince Akkanatan. Sean Carr is coming to Cortland looking for a fight after being screwed out of the 607 Title in Binghamton on March 12th, and says “bring it on!!” However based on the events in Binghamton, after the shocking appearance and beating at the hands of the recently retired Brutus “The Breeze” McNasty, Keith Zimmer may want to have the Enterprise around him at all times.

In Cortland will we find out just who exactly is the #1 Contender to the ECPW Empire State Championship? Both Anarchy and Kage claim the #1 spot. After Kage defeated Big Poppa Chill in the casket match to not only keep his job with ECPW but also said he was coming after IB Green for the belt however the popular Anarchy never received his title match on March 12th thanks to the Enterprise. Will this controversy be addressed in Cortland? Will Kage and Anarchy come to an equal understanding? Will cooler heads prevail? We’ll find out on April 24th.

Cortland's own deranged freak Damien Darkchild has brought his version of the Army of Darkness to ECPW Empire State in the form of the masked and mysterious Mr. X, and the “Alter Boy from Hell” Jake Saint. It's unclear what Darkchild's motives are for doing this, but back in February after winning the battle royal he proclaimed that 2010 will be the year of DARKNESS in ECPW!!!

The card will also feature a battle royal feat Cortland's own Papa Wingster, features live music by Scarred Theory at intermission and the ECPW Owner Gino Caruso will be on hand as well in Cortland. Will he make a statement on the actions of the Enterprise? Will he address the recent appearances of “The Breeze”? Will he announce just who is the number one contender for the ECPW Empire State Championship? We’ll find out on April 24th. See you in Cortland!!!

The doors open at 7PM and the show starts at 7:30PM. Tickets are available at the following locations in Cortland: JM McDonald Sports Complex, The Daily Grind, King Sub, Cort-Lanes, and A Pizza & More.

2/28/10:

Most independent wrestling organizations that come to Binghamton usually have to rely on “outside talent” when it comes to packing the American Legion Post 80 (76 Main Street Binghamton). Not ECPW. When East Coast Professional Wrestling returns to Binghamton on Friday March 12. Instead the show picks up where we left off in Cortland, NY when ECPW Empire State Commissioner, Keith Zimmer (the first ECPW Commissioner under 350lbs), was revealed to be the puppet master of The Enterprise, and took advantage of being the guest referee by double crossing Anarchy in his match against ECPW Empire State Champion, IB Green. Zimmer made it very clear that he was given the keys to the castle by ECPW Owner, Gino Caruso, and intends to infect and destroy the territory from within. Anarchy, a Tioga-County resident, is no stranger to Binghamton wrestling fans, and not only has he challenged IB Green to an I Quit Match, but he’ll do anything to get a piece of Keith Zimmer that night.

The feud between ECPW 607 Champion, Little Daddy C, and Binghamton native “The Hybrid” Sean Carr never stops, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to anytime soon. Carr, a BCC graduate has stated on Binghamton’s Original Geeks Podcast that he hasn’t forgot about being attacked by Little Daddy C after he won a #1 Contenders Battle Royal back in September and plans on taking that 607 Championship. The two met in a vicious, un-sanctioned street fight that was held in Cortland, however the title was not on the line. Will Sean finally win the title and squash this beef with Little Daddy C?

In what is looking to be one of the most anticipated matches of the evening is the Casket Match between Kage and Big Poppa Chill. Kage, a local worker for the city of Binghamton is a former ECPW Empire State Champion and has put a hit out on all members of the Enterprise and plans on starting with Big Poppa Chill by locking him inside an airtight steel coffin. If he’s successful he’ll earn a shot at the ECPW Empire State Championship. If he’s not and Big Poppa Chill is victorious then Kage will be FIRED from ECPW Empire State.

After suffering an embarrassing first defeat, Mark Kreiger and his brick-wall backup, Super Bad, are on a mission to destroy the students of the 607 Pro Wrestling Academy (43 Hall St in Binghamton). Local native Axel Lennox & ND Renegade answered the call and challenged the duo to a tag match. The arrogant and always cocky Kreiger laughed at this and told the students to find one more guy and make this a 3 on 2 handicapped match. The Rainbow Warrior was chosen to represent as he is still looking for revenge following a recent post match attack from Superbad and Kreiger. Aiding the trio will be Glen Post, pro wrestling’s first manager to be in a wheelchair.

In other matches:

Binghamton's own Robert the Spike Norton will team with Big Country to take on the ECPW Tag Team Champions the Repeat Offenders. Can this Binghamton native bring home the gold?

Reality TV star and ECPW WORLD Heayweight Champion Andrew Anderson will defend his championship against the hated Prince Akkanatan. For the match each man is allowed to have one person in their corner; Prince Akkanatan has chosen his Sand n' Surf B.F.F. Dave the Wave, whereas the champion has taken a less conventional route and has selected none other than the CREEPER!!! This one is sure to WILD!!!

All this action and more including a Battle Royal feat the debut of Kurse Johnny (from Binghamton, NY by way of London, England) and live music by New Scarred Theory at intermission!! The show takes place Friday March 12th 2010 @ the American Legion Post 80 (76 Main Street Binghamton). The doors open @ 7PM and the bell time is 7:30 PM. Advance tickets are $12, and $15 at the door. Tickets are available at American Legion Post 80 (607-722-2785), Laurel Bowl (607-723-8344), House of Reardon (607-722-9674), My Uncles Place (607-722-5242), and Tom’s Texas Hots (607-771-4687).

2/11/10:

ECPW Empire State RETURNS to Cortland, NY on February 20, 2010 at the JM McDonald Sports Complex (4292 Fairgrounds Road) with a 7:30pm bell time.

Tickets are just $12 in advance, $15 at the door, and all the matches will be taped for ECPW Empire State High Voltage TV.

On the card:

The show will feature AMP'D up matches with stipulations aplenty. Personal scores and controversies will be settled inside the ring, HOW IT SHOULD BE!!!

Cortland's own Rainbow Warrior will team with Robert “the Spike” Norton & Big Country to take on the six-man duo of Mark Kreiger, Superbad, and Cortland's own Perfect Weapon Shawn Armstrong.

The Rainbow Warrior will be managed by his brother (and local handicapped Cortland resident) the “Exceptional.” This will be a night of firsts and ECPW will proof that we can help make ANY dream come true.

There will be a students battle royal featuring the dark and disturbed Cortland's own Damien Darkchild. This will be a bunkhouse battle royal which means ALL weapons are LEGAL.

International Star will start his quest in getting the ECPW Empire State title back as he faces the “bodyguard” of the Enterprise, the 6'10 Peacemaker. The kicker to this match will be that nightsticks are perfectly legal and accepted in this match.

Anarchy will meet his arch-rival IB Green for the ECPW Empire State title. IB Green has stated he wants nothing to do with Anarchy and will hurt him in serious manner if he is forced to wrestle him in Cortland or anywhere else. There is a personal score to be settled between these two that the fans know NOTHING about. All that will change, in Cortland, as IB Green plans to “expose” Anarchy for the person he really is. Things are heating up in and bound to get UGLY in the Cortland.

CK Kross will take on Daredevil Champion Nick Napoleon in the first ever “Triad of Terror” match. The “Triad of Terror” is a series of three matches throughout the course of the night with the winner of two out of three of the matches will be crowned the undisputed ECPW Daredevil Champion. The first match will kick off the show and be a SUBMISSION match, the second match will be a Falls Count Anywhere in Cortland match, and the last match (if needed) will be a GRUELING Last Man Standing match. This title is all about taking risks and going the extra mile; this series will do all that and more – showing who the REAL and DESERVING Daredevil champion really is.

607 Champion Little Daddy C must defend the title against Sean Carr in Binghamton on March 12 – but before that these two will meet in an UN-SANCTIONED match in Cortland NY. This issue became personal when Little Daddy C attacked Sean Carr while he was filming a commercial for the 607 Wrestling Academy (@43 hall Street in Binghamton NY,) hitting him with the 607 title for the SECOND time. This war has gotten so personal and real over the last couple weeks that the ECPW Board of Directors has decided to wash their hands of it. In Binghamton on March 12, ECPW wants a fair and balanced wrestling match that decides who the deserving champion should be. But before that can happen, first, these guys must fight without honor to settle the score and prove who the better man is.
Be in Cortland on February 20, 2010 at the JM McDonald Sports Complex, this is going to be a CAN'T MISS EVENT that will set the tone for the entire year of ECPW Empire State action.

Tickets for this great event are available at the office of the JM McDonald Sports Complex – pick them up there, it's for a good cause.

ECPW Empire State Announces 2010's First Two Shows
1/10/10

The first show of the year for ECPW Empire State will be held on February 20th in Cortland NY at the JM McDonald Sports Complex.

The main event of the show will be Anarchy taking on the ECPW Empire State Champion IB Green in a championship match.  IB Green nearly ended Anarchy's wrestling career after throwing him off the stage in Binghamton NY on December 4^th during the extremely violent Warzone match.  This match is about a personal issue and with the championship on the line, this one promises to get ugly FAST; Anarchy is out for revenge and will not stop until he takes IB Green out for good.

Kage, who has vowed to take out every member of The Enterprise until he gets his shot at IB Green's ECPW Empire State title, will take on the 6'10 Peacemaker in a match where the use of nightsticks are legal and encouraged.  Kage feels he was screwed out of the ECPW Empire State title by IB Green &  Company the last time ECPW was in Cortland on December 5^th. Green, who was in charge of the show after his team won the WARZONE match Binghamton, stacked the deck, essentially making the match a 4-1 handicap match with a crooked referee in Mike Trash making the fast three count.  December 5^th was a day where IB Green was able to put one over on ECPW Empire State management, stealing the title, and swinging the balance of power in the favor of the Enterprise.  Kage will begin his quest to regain the gold on February 20, 2009 with an uphill battle in a match that has very dangerous rules.  IB Green has made it clear to his personal security guard, the Peacemaker, that Kage is not to leave Cortland in one piece, let alone ready enough to challenge for the ECPW Empire State title.  What will happen in Cortland, on February 20^th when the irresistible force means the immovable object in a match that has both personal and championship implication?

After months of inconsistent behavior, Ryan P. Dimmick, has been relieved of his duties as ECPW Empire State Commissioner.  Dimmick, who has not been seen his last appearance on July 18^th, is rumored to be moving out of state and away from the business for the time being.  We would like to thank Mr. Dimmick for his faithful service to ECPW and we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.  On February 20^th in Cortland NY, at the JM McDonald Sports Complex, Gino Caruso will appoint the new ECPW Empire State Commissioner.  Who it could be is anyone's guess, but knowing Gino, this announcement will rock the foundations of ECPW to its core as we kick off 2010!!!

Cortland's own Rainbow Warrior, the Exceptional Glen Post, and the Perfect Weapon Shawn Armstrong will make their debut on February 20^th in Cortland NY in a six man tag team match that will feature the Japanese Assassin, Robert “the Spike” Norton, the Super Destroyer, and Big Country.  This will be a great way for the fans in Cortland to see some of their own compete in an East Coast Pro Wrestling ring.

After their epic Iron Man match in Cortland on December 5, 2009, that went to a 1-1 draw, ECPW Empire State officials have decided to place ECPW Empire State Daredevil Champion Nick Napoleon and CK Kross in a best of 5 series to determine the un-disputed ECPW Daredevil Champion.  Kross contends that if the match had just went 30 seconds longer that he would have walked out the champion and that this best of 5 series is just a mere formality in his quest to be the ECPW Daredevil Champion.  When asked for comment, Nick Napoleon simply said, “I'll do my talking in the ring.”  This series will be fought under Daredevil rules which means that each match will have a unique stipulation.  The first match in this series will take place at the JM McDonald Sports Complex in Cortland NY on February 20, 2009 and will be fought under Submission rules.  Stipulations for the other matches in the series will be announced in the coming weeks but as a special treat for the fans we can reveal if the series goes the full five matches the final match will be a LADDER MATCH.  Will the series go all 5 matches?  Only time will tell—but a ladder match between the two would be a sure fire match of the year candidate.

ECPW Empire State will return to Binghamton NY at the American Legion Post 80 on March 12, 2009 and we will be welcoming a new performer to the roster on that day. The new wrestler goes by the name of Bad Bad Leroy Brown . . . and get this, he hails from a place OUTTA TOWN!!!  Brown has had one match with ECPW, at a recent Adrenaline TV taping, winning impressively over the Japanese Assassin.  Brown, who wore a half-mask, looked oddly similar to a certain Breezy wrestler that was recently retired by the Masked Superstar on December 4^th in Binghamton.  Brown's ECPW Empire State debut will take place in Binghamton, the home of the Breeze, where anything can and else does happen.  Not much is known about Brown at this time, but we know he is coming to ECPW Empire State to make a major IMPACT.

More information on the next ECPW Empire State show in Binghamton will be announced in the next update.
