Pit Viper returns to bail out Just Wrestling

ALBANY, NY – In light of recent speculation that Just Wrestling’s upcoming Canadian Dream Tour would be bereft of the TV stars that have given the independent promotion such exposure in the past, we can exclusively announce the return of one-time Just Wrestling tourist and present Sin City Championship Wrestling dynamo “The Pit Viper” Terrence Kingsley.

Kingsley, 25, was with Just Wrestling for the Long Hot Summer, building his WWW streak for a championship shot (including a victory over the now GCW star Cheap Labor) before narrowly losing out in a three-way match for Andy Murray’s belt as Aaron Nothings instead became the first (and thus far only) two-time Just Wrestling Champion. Kingsley went on to star in the GTT7 tournament, defeated by eventual winner Desade in a clear match-of-the-year candidate, and moved into SCCW where he is regarded, along with Jared Sykes and Suzanne Larsson, as the future of the promotion.

With SCCW still in the midst of a world tour, it is thought that Kingsley will be funding his own travel between Canada and the SCCW circuit – a call that will rankle with Jade Argent and “Normal” John Johnson, who have both been criticised for pulling out of the Canada trip due to GCW commitments in Australia. It seems that the Pit Viper is just that bit more motivated to grab a golden prize that he believed should always have been his.

Kingsley’s signing is a massive and timely coup for tour organiser Jody Monroe, who has faced well-publicised struggles to match the calibre of previous touring rosters. Without the pulling power of Tim Shipley, and – perhaps more crucially – with Just Wrestling now considered alongside (and therefore an occasional regional rival to) other Primetime Central promotions, Monroe finds herself unable to bring in big names on little money, the sort of coup Shipley founded the business model on.

Instead, Monroe is having to rely on making her own stars, such as Cade Bane and Anathkash Dakari. Arguably, the criminal charges faced by The Back Alley Brawler have helped too, as without them PTC’s #6 wrestler would surely have signed to a televised promotion by now. But now that Terrence Kingsley has bailed out Monroe, who will bail out the Brawler? Joe Balboa remains incarcerated by the State of Georgia; moreover, the Just Wrestling Champion has a broken arm. It appears unlikely that the Brawler will even make it to Canada – but how will Kingsley react if he doesn’t get a chance at the title belt he insists he deserves?

Just Wrestling will announce the full touring roster over the weekend, with Monroe still taking wrestlers’ applications until Saturday night in a final bid to bulk out her cards. If you believe you’ve got what it takes to succeed on the Just Wrestling tour, please send your resumé to Ms. Monroe care of the Albany offices. You will need to be able to cover your travelling expenses.
