Adrian Quest vs. Chris Bey April 15

Championship Wrestling From Hollywood is a place for young talents to make a name for themselves on television. Wrestlers like Peter Avalon and Dicky Mayer (to name a few) began showing their bright young faces on the program years ago only to ascend the ranks through their determination, grit, and chutzpah. On April 15, two of CWFH’s current bright young stars lock horns in an athletic contest that will send a message to the whole roster as Chris Bey steps into the ring against Adrian Quest. But what makes these men the ones to watch?

CWFH newcomer Chris Bey studies under the tree of Scorpio Sky – arguably the most athletic competitor in the United Wrestling Network. Sky’s athleticism has lead him to victories over the best in the world, evidenced by his fourth (and current) reign as United Television Champion. Sky is also a powerful striker, a tactic that Bey is smart to pick up if he wants to pick off his opponents in a timely fashion. If Scorpio Sky’s prowess is any indication of his protege’s skill set, Adrian Quest has his work cut out for him.

Quest on the other hand is no slouch himself. Fans will remember that before being unmasked, Adrian Quest spent the better part of two years wrestling as the luchador Astro Viajero. Wrestling a Lucha Libre style not only makes one quick and athletic, but also instills in its students ways to avoid crucial strikes. As effective as dives and arm drags can be, perhaps Adrian Quest’s most useful skill against Chris Bey will be knowing how and when to evade attacks. Learned from his time spent training and wrestling in Mexico, Quest’s evasive agility will both confuse and wear down any opponent he stands across from. If Chris Bey wants to call himself “The Next Best Thing,” he better not get frustrated by his opponent’s strategy, for Adrian Quest shines brightest when his opponent feels in the dark.

You won’t want to miss a second of action in this one, so make sure to be at the Oceanview Pavilion on April 15 to see it live!

United Wrestling Network to host a Television Special in China

When they say that the United Wrestling Network has a worldwide reach, that isn’t just a turn of phrase. From the competitors to the promotions, United has collected a system of moving parts that have resulted in the most unique professional wrestling happening in the most unique locations around the globe. After United presented two radically different major events in New Orleans last week (CZW and Main Event Pro Wrestling), the Network is now tasked with topping those in a completely different fashion. The aforementioned worldwide reach has touched down in Wenzhou, China, and a stacked lineup of stars is set to make their China debuts during a television broadcast on April 14. Already signed:

NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis

Who is Pinx?

Having a great cornerman instills confidence into any competitor in the title hunt at Championship Wrestling From Hollywood. In the past, we’ve seen several stars step into the ring with muscle in their corner to intimidate opponents and watch their back. YUMA had the members of Vermin, Sasha Darevko had Comrade, and “Professional” Peter Avalon had The Office. Fidel Bravo may have all these men beat with an enforcer standing 6’4”, weighing 320 lbs, and sporting a pink accent to his otherwise black ensemble. But who is this man?

When HollywoodWrestling.com reached out for comment, the titan we’ve learned to call “Pinx” had nothing to share but a chilling leer from behind his aviators. Luckily, we were able to catch up with Pinx’s right hand man, Fidel Bravo, to get some insight into this mammoth.
“The only thing you need to know about Pinx is that he’s the only man I trust by my side,” says Bravo while cockily pulling his hair into a tight bun on the right side of his head, “because he is the only man I know that can get anyone out of my way.”

If one thing is for sure, it’s that any time Fidel Bravo appears on screen, Pinx will be by his side. That’s good news for Bravo and bad news for the roster of Championship Wrestling From Hollywood. They won’t be hard to find because with a cornerman like Pinx at ringside, all eyes will be on them.

There have been a lot of questions floating around Hollywood over the last several weeks. Following the Mask vs. Mask match weeks ago, the former Espiritu has had a change of attitude as Fidel Bravo. When Bravo stepped back into the ring with his longtime partner Adrian Quest, Bravo had an unknown ace up his sleeve. A large man in a pink ensemble interfered, causing a disqualification a general feeling of disarray. On this episode, we’ll hear from Fidel Bravo and the man in his corner to get a better understanding of who they are and what their business is with Adrian Quest.

In our Main Event, the United Wrestling Network World Tag Team Champions Reno Scum put their titles on the line against the Classic Connection.

At long last the weekend is here and with it comes another must-see hour of Championship Wrestling From Hollywood!

It would be easy to say that winning the PP3 Cup last week was the biggest win in Suede Thompson’s career. It would be easy to say that because Thompson has spent the last week dancing through Sin City with the PP3 Cup in his hands. The 2018 Cup Bearer will be in action on the program this week!

In our Main Event, #1 Contender to the United Television Championship Ray Rosas gets his hands on the man with that gold, Scorpio Sky. Unfortunately for Rosas, Sky was able to convince Nikko Marquez to make this match Non-title. With Ray hungrier than ever, he will have to prove yet again that he is worthy of a title opportunity by taking out his frustrations on Scorpio Sky. All this and more on this week’s Championship Wrestling From Hollywood!

Web Exclusive Match: Jocephus Makes Threat Towards Nick Aldis

Jocephus

In early 2018, the man known as Jocephus defeated former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Tim Storm in an Empty Arena Match with one goal in mind: taking Storm’s rematch for the “Ten Pounds of Gold” and using it to challenge Nick Aldis himself. Jocephus recently returned to Championship Wrestling From Hollywood for the first time since injuring Tim Storm with a ladder at Milestone. With a guaranteed shot at the Worlds Heavyweight Championship in his future, Jocephus had a message for the Champion, Nick Aldis.

2018 PP3 Cup Bearer: Suede Thompson

“When I heard that three count, the only thing that went through my mind was, ‘I did it. I finally did it. No more doubts.’” An extremely proud Suede Thompson has been strutting around Sin City with the PP3 Cup in his grasp. Landing a 450 Splash onto PP3 Finalist Royce Isaacs and scoring a pinfall victory has bigger implications for the “One Man Show” than just winning one Main Event match. Coming out on top in the Percival Pringle III Memorial Cup Tournament is a career-making moment for Suede Thompson and one that he doesn’t intend on letting slip through his fingers.

For former PP3 Cup Holders, winning that Tournament has been a launching pad to stardom and, for some, certain gold. In the past, Cup Winners like Ricky Mandel (2014) and YUMA (2015) have elected to use their title opportunity to challenge for and win the Hollywood Heritage Championship. Other Cup Holders like Watts (2016) and Dicky Mayer (2017) have found partners and have gone after the United World Tag Team Championship. 2018 is the first year that the Cup allows the Holder to challenge for any title defended in the United Wrestling Network. That opens up a whole world of possibility for Suede, because if he successfully challenges the right opponent at the right time, he could be on the fast track to title defenses all over the United Wrestling Network and all over the world. With that in mind and United set to crown its first World Champion this year, the “CEO of Suederade” has a lot of options when it comes to his title opportunity. HollywoodWrestling.com asked Thompson if he has any United Champions already in mind when the time comes to use Percy’s Privilege.

“As far as focusing on one certain title,” says Suede with a contemplative expression, “I’m keeping my options open and will be scouting the very deep talent pool that United has to offer.” Patience is a virtue and one that will hopefully pay off in a big way for the 2018 Cup Bearer. “Top Guy” is no longer just a nickname for Suede Thompson. Fanfare for Suede has been overwhelmingly positive and his victory in the finals of the PP3 Memorial Cup Tournament proves that he is the man to watch in 2018. Everything’s looking up, so turn down for what?!

 

Finals: A CWFH Weekend Preview

Senior Official Nick Bonanno explains the rules for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship bout.
What an incredible episode Championship Wrestling From Hollywood has in store this week! The Aldis Crusdade kicks off in Hollywood, as NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis makes his first defense of the “Ten Pounds of Gold.” Aldis requested that his first challenger be a competitor who “is a former World Champion or has beaten a former World Champion.” That paints the picture of a wrestler of impressive stature and commendable mettle. Aldis’ description also accurately describes James Ellsworth, who accepted the challenge for the first defense of the Aldis Crusade. Is Los Angeles just the beginning for Nick Aldis’ worldwide journey or will the “Chinless Wonder” pull off the upset of the century? As Ellsworth says himself, “Any man with two hands has a fighting chance!”

Next up on the program, you’ll see “American Thunder” Dicky Mayer taking on the elusive Vintage Dragon. Mayer has had a lot on his mind lately with the shadow of Bateman always lurking in the back of his head. Could Dicky’s wild thoughts spell victory for Vintage Dragon?

In this week’s Main Event, the climatic conclusion of the Percival Pringle III Memorial Cup Tournament unfolds. After months of build up, the tournament has whittled down to the two most promising individuals on the Championship Wrestling From Hollywood roster, Royce Isaacs and Suede Thompson. With a shot at any title defended in the United Wrestling Network on the line, Royce and Suede will give up no ground, lest they give up everything that they’ve worked for in their careers up until this moment. You won’t want to miss a moment of this week’s historic Championship Wrestling From Hollywood!
