Gary Cooper
Gary was originally added as an active wrestler, but now that
Gary is gone,
he deserves this even more. Gary was the first ever Triple crown
winner in
the BJWC. Although his title reigns were short lived, The man
deserves a spot
here. A former World, TV(twice), and Tag team champ two times as
well. His
crazy antics have always been fun to watch. Very seldon do I see
a Gary
Cooper interview that I don't laugh at...because it's
entertaining. This man
truely deserves his spot here.
Merlin "G-Crusher" Reynolds
Merlin is a former Hardcore, Lightweight, and Television
Champion. As a
matter of fact, he was the FIRST EVER BJWC T.V. Champion. After
his return,
he won the BJWC T.V. title again, and also won the BJWC Tag Team
Titles with
Dan Dehart. Now in modern day, Merlin is the leader of the
stable "Swoon",
and is the current BJWC World Champion. A deserving Hall of Fame
member by
any standards.
Reaper
A 3 time Hardcore Champion as well as a 2 time Tag team champion
with Cyris
and Tyler Lee as his partners. Reaper is probably best known for
his double
cross that literally killed the stable known as Union. Reaper
was involved in
some of the best matches in BJWC history including his
Wrestlebowl final
against Dehart. He is also a former MSW World Champion, and now
that he is
gone, he is missed more than ever.
"The Foundation" Nick Yonce / Ponce
The Three-time World champ and former, War, and Television
Champ, has secured
a place in BJWC History as the first man to become a 3 time
World Champ.
Although one of those titles, came by beating Devon, it still
counts. He
later went on to become the MSW President, and definitely one of
the most
loved people in the BJWC ever. You will be missed, and you
deserve this.
Brian Hart
I know that this could give him a big head, but his
accomplishments have
warrented a spot in the Hall. A former 3 time Champ, Womens
Champ(WHY?),
Television Champ, Hardcore Champ, Tag Champ. As much as people
dislike
him....Hart has done alot in his long career here in the BJWC
and it's time
he be rewarded.
Tyrone Alguard
The third new edition of the Hall of Fame, TA has held every
title there is
in the BJWC except the now defunct War and Turbulence titles.
He's won the
Televison title twice and had a lengthy run as the World
Champion. Now that
he is gone, we are glad we had him here, and hope that he is
doing well,
where ever he is.
Dan Dehart
Wether he was known as "The Destroyer" or "The Express", Dan
Dehart is a
former 4 TIME BJWC World Champion, and the one and ONLY Ultimate
Champion.
Dehart has also won the BJWC NA Champion, and the BJWC World Tag
Team
Champions. Now a member of Swoon, Dan is also the current PSW
World Champion,
and at Reunion 2000, he will challenge Roadkill to a Hell in a
Cell match for
the #1 contendership to the BJWC World Championship.
Darren Anthony
The BJWC's Iron Man, he participated on every Riot, Turbulence,
Victory,
Bloodlines, and pay per view until he retired. He is a former
World Champion,
2 time Hardcore Champion, Tag Team Champion, Victory, and
Turbulence
Champion. He is a very deserving NEW entry to the BJWC Hall of
Fame, and we
hope he does well in life AFTER the BJWC.
Cyris Raven
Does the name "god" mean anything to anyone? This guy is the
LONGEST REIGNING
CHAMPION with ANY title EVER! He held the BJWC Hardcore Title
147 days,
before vacating it to take a shot at the BJWC World Champion.
This man is one
of the best that the BJWC has ever seen, and when he is on, he
is unbeatable.
Welcome to the hall.
Malice/KAHN
Since April of 99 one of these two men have always been lurking around the halls of the BJWC, either running the show or snatching titles, he always was in the middle of the action. Let's have a toast to BJWC's long time alcoholic Malice, and the death of KAHN's grandfather.
Kurt Swagger
The Final new entry of the update, Kurt Swagger is quite
possibly best known
for ending the career of Slick Rick. He is also well known for
his very
lengthy reign as the BJWC NA Champion, and for his reign as the
BJWC T.V.
Champion. Swagger, welcome to the Hall.
"The Express" Dan Dehart vs Reaper
A classic by any standards. This Wrestlebowl Main Event went all
over the
arena. It ended with Dan gaining the pin on top of a limo.
Outlander vs Outlander
Also took place at Wrestlebowl, The "Real" Outlander won this
brutal match.
It was the last time he would defend the World title. He went
AWOL the next
day.
Outlander vs Dan "The Destroyer"
This would be Dan's fist singles loss, and he dropped the title
to Outlander
in an awesome match. A rematch never happened.
Union vs FOUR
The big backstab by Reaper cost Union the match. It changed the
face of the
BJWC, and made for some tremendous feuds later.
Merlin vs Reaper (take your pick which one)
These men battled more than once and all of them with exception
of the last
was a classic.
Ness Manson vs "The Icon" Tyler Lee
My personal favorite was their first meeting, but the second one
lasted so
long that neither men could get a pinfall.
Lanier Riley vs. g-Crusher
At Rage wars the Hardcore Heavens match was unreal. Merlin
pulled off the win
and it was an instant classic. Although Riley lost...he proved
he could run
with the big boys.
Dan Dehart vs Tyler Lee
Goldfest 2000 was already a great PPV, but this match pushed
right into the
Classic category. It was the third title win for Dehart and it
was an awesome
match.
*NEW*
Reaper vs. Wayne "The Blade" Coll
This match was a Double Title match that happened three weeks
after the split
of the BJWC to the MSW and PSW. The winner receive the MSW World
Title, and
the loser the Riot Title. This match was very hardcore, and it
got the
highest rating EVER, with Reaper coming out victorious.
Cyris Raven vs. "Suicide" Shawn Kearns
This match was a Modified Pure Hell match for the BJWC Hardcore
Title. This
match went back and forth, and it was surprising that "Suicide"
was able to
walk out of the match. The match ended when Raven rolled over
Kearns'
crossbody block, and pinned him, but it proved Kearns can run
with the big
boys of the BJWC.
Pure Hell Triple Threat Match: Dante vs. G-Crusher vs. Cyris Raven
This had to be the most hardcore match that have ever been fought in the history of the BJWC. Even if the world title wasn't on the line, it would still have been one of the most exciting matches ever! The title just added to the entertainment! Narrowing it down to g-Crusher vs. lanier Riley and this thriple threat match, and seeing as how Merlin was in both of them, it just goes to show you that he is a crazy SOB! And then there is Cyris Raven, the man who created the Pure Hell match. he has to becredited for his sick imagination that he used to create this match. And Dante. Well, he has been hardcore champion before, but in the triple threat match, he really stepped it up a notch! If any of these men are able to walk again, I'd like to see them put on another one of those great matches.
Triple Threat Match: "Kid Ego" Diesel Warren vs. "The Main Event" Jackson Dane vs. Triple Six Trek
The main event of the last ppv in BJWC history, Slamfest 04, was host to one of the greatest matches ever witnessed in BJWC history. Rookie of the year Warren, vs. the new resident comedian, vs. long time veteran and rejuvenated 6 Trek had every twist, turn, and near fall one could ever hope to see in a match. It was worthy of the sendoff it ended up being.
