BACK TRACK
Early days….
Jason Oliver was born and raised in the province of B.C, Canada. He was born
into a family of poor money, a single Mother and 2 children. When he was just
3, his mother died, leaving him in the hands of the state. Jason and his
brother Cole were put into a foster family. Though this family loved Jason
and Cole they would never replace the hole in Jason’s heart. When he was 6
his foster father MR. Sean Young introduced him to the world of wrestling.
Since that day where he saw Hulk Hogan go up against the Iron Sheik he was
hooked. That day he decided he was going to be a wrestler. When Jason was 13
he lost his foster parents to a drunk driver, he was then placed in the hands
of the state again and was put up for adoption. For about 5 months Jason went into
a spiral of depression and self hatred. Then the center where Jason lived got
a new owner, Jack Turner. Turner saw Jason could play sports but had a good
brain on his shoulders as well along with a talent for acting. Turner saw Jason loved
wrestling and taped old matches. Jason was a huge fan of people like Ric
Flair, Bret Hart and Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat. When the TWF was formed he
was 14 and saw such people as Travis Wakeman, Drew Blood and his idol to
this day Jordan Rockwell. Oliver made his biggest choice of becoming a
wrestler when he went and saw MeltDown 2002 live. That day he saw the man
that was his favorite superstar become his idol. When Jordan Rockwell pinned
HHH with the fisherman suplex, Jason’s life changed forever, he saw a man
that was considered an under dog win the biggest title in the TWF, he knew
he had to become a wrestler. During high school he averaged a 3.86 GPA.
In his year at school he played on the football team as a cornerback,
hockey team as a center and he was actually billed as the next Mario. He ran track
and ran an 8 in the 100-meter dash. He also played King Odeon in a "Mid
Summer Night's Dream" and played Charlie in "Charlie in the Chocolate Factory".
While he loved all of this he wanted to be a wrestler so badly he quit
school at 16. Not legally an adult, he moved away from B.C. and into Hollywood
where he got a job as a stunt man. Luck would have it that he met Dwayne
Johnson AKA The Rock. He saw talent in Oliver and decided to train him.
Wrestling.......
While his main training came from The Rock, Oliver also studied in the
legendry Dungeon of Stu Hart where he perfected his technical skill. His
Tiger Claw move is actually a sharp shooter. Dwayne put in a good word with
the TWF for him and he got signed. Oliver is the youngest Tag champion ever
at 18 years old. While he only held the title for about a month he is
looking for more.
FANTASY MATCH
This week on the fantasy match we're going to see to giants in the TWF go
head to head, people who you hoped and wished would go at it but never did. I
am talking about Mr. ShowTime Jordan Rockwell and the Technical Magician
Travis Wakeman.
Jordan Rockwell is one of the youngest people to hold the TWF title. He had
the quickest rise to fame in the TWF. He has won all of the heavyweight
Primetime titles. He is the most popular super star in the TWF, bar
none.
Travis Wakeman is the most Technical superstar in a decade, his list of
accomplishments are endless. He has the most individual title runs in TWF
history with 10.
Axl Irvin: "Wow this is one match I can’t wait to see, you have the best
wrestlers in the TWF squaring off in a huge match. Wakeman has done it all,
from the TWF title to the first ever ToughMan title, to winning the first
ever Eruption match and the buried alive match but the same can be said for
Jordan Rockwell, Cell of Survival which Travis set up actually, to a
stretcher match, the first ever ladder match on regular T.V. and he was the
last TWF European champion and first ever Universal champion. While Wakeman
has done it all, I have to give this to MR. Showtime Jordan Rockwell.
"High Octane" Damion West: "Wakeman. Why? Cause he always wins".
"The Show" Joe Corey: "He is Travis Wakeman; no one has had more success than
him in the TWF".
Money Mike: "Travis Wakeman".
And there you have it, Jordan Rockwell loses to Travis Wakeman 1...2.....3.
Turn Back The TWF Clock
This Month on Turn back the Clock, we're going to be looking at MeltDown
2002. This event is important to two people at the least, more than likely
more. Those people are my self as a TWF member and a person and Jordan
Rockwell. So as Jordan Rockwell would say it's SHOW TIME.
MeltDown was a great PPV, it came off the very first Non-PPV ladder Match
unifying the European and IC titles. Rockwell and Stone Cold went at it in
the land of the high flyers and had a great match even though they are both
technical and brawler-like wrestlers. The end came with some controversy as
HHH came and helped Rockwell win it, making the match at MeltDown a Triple
Threat. With the help of a Fishermen suplex, Jordan Rockwell
became the most successful young superstar the TWF has ever seen. MeltDown
also featured the first of many battles of Bahamut vs. The Undertaker,
resulting in a win for Bah but not with out controversy as Taker kicked out
at 3 but the ref still awarded the match to Bah. Kevin Nash lost to RVD after a
grueling match. We saw Matt Hardy defend his lightheavyweight title
against Jamie Noble with Matt picking up the win. Akasha defended her
women’s title successfully against Jessica Lopez. The second Bed of Nails
match was introduced to the TWF and how fitting a man named Nails would come
out the winner. We saW new Tag Team Champions in the Island boys as they
went against Wakeman Enterprises, funny how 2 years later Jamal and Rosy
would win the Rampage tag titles and have the longest title reign in TWF
history. It also saw a battle royal that let you pick if you wanted to jump
divisions or bring over someone from the other division. High Octane and
Shawn Stasiak would go on to win.
Jason Oliver: "This event is important to me because it made me want to be a
wrestler. Seeing my idol Jordan Rockwell win the TWF title was amazing, I
loved the event, the matches were all great.
Jordan Rockwell: "I recall this whole situation very well because it was
rather stressful even prior to MeltDown back in 2002. At the time I was
European champion and I was on pace to break the longest reign record but
behind the scenes there was a lot of rumor that Austin was on his way out
due to all his nagging old injuries. I was the guy the people knew should
have been champion or at least got a shot at the title and in all honesty, I
had no idea I was even going to be in the match. Weeks prior to the match
Shane McMahon came to me and basically confirmed Austin’s want to take time
off and that he was going to set up a match between Austin and I in which it
would be my European title against Austin’s newly won intercontinental title
in a ladder match. Originally I was ticked off cause the European title was
the first title I won but I kind of started getting a feeling so I went with
it and I left the ladder match the new Intercontinental champion and
following this I would ask who I was going to face at MeltDown to which
Shane merely said don't worry about it, which if you know him, that's one of
his favorite phrases. Now as I said, I had a feeling but did not hold that
much stock in it cause of the issues with Triple H and me behind the scenes,
but in the end Shane listened to the fans and I was in at MeltDown. As far as
the match goes, a lot of people asked me why I used the fisherman suplex aka
the Perfect Plex to pin Triple H and not say the Rock Smasher. Well that
goes back to Curt Hennig who used to say I was good but not perfect so it
kind of was a spur of the moment deal but I figured I’d kill two
birds with one stone. That was a night I will never forget as long as I live,
not just for winning the title but because the fans helped make me TWF
Champion.
Alex Maider: "Yes I know I’m hogging up the Turn Back the Clock, but there’s
something I have to say. Those who know me well in the TWF know I haven’t
had it easy in my life, only a few of you actually know all of it, maybe 2 in
the whole fed. This PPV more like the Main event was the reason I became a
TWF member, the time my computer didn’t want to send my application and I was
ready to give up but I read the match and I knew I wanted to be in the TWF.
Also from a personal stand point it helped me a lot, if you don’t already
know this I might as well tell you now. I live in a center for kids that are
orphaned, in my case twice. I am not looking for pity or sympathy, there are
kids worse off than I out there. At the time I sent away my application I
was in a spiral of self loathing and despair, I found the TWF, it was like my
Christianity to Marty Jannetty. While I'm not some cult follower, I do love
this efed. I Believe Mike Norton said it best “Because wrestling is my
life,” I agree with him 100 percent. Ever since I joined the TWF, it has been
my life. Yes I have gone off topic a bit, more like a lot, but it's to get a
point across, as I might never get this chance again. I'm thanking Travis
Wakeman, Mike Norton and Joe Diano. Mike for helping Travis set the web site
up, Joe for signing up for the TWF as Jordan Rockwell and Travis for taking
the site and making it the best on the damn internet. Also for everyone in
the TWF for making me feel like family.
Hot Seat
Michael Cole: "Money Mike, please describe these people in one sentence.
Jordan Rockwell
MM: "Lacking intelligence and leadership skills".
Cole: "Damion West".
MM: "Sounds like a guy from Gunsmoke".
Cole: "Shawn Michaels".
MM: "A showboat artist".
Cole: "Drew Blood".
MM: "A dream match".
Cole: "Pat Spencer".
MM: "Former NWO partner and friend".
Cole: "Now we move on to the true and false section of the Hot Seat.
True or false, you asked Ric Flair if you could use the name the
Horsemen"?
MM: "False".
Cole: "True or false, you recruited Jason Oliver for the Horsemen at PayBack".
MM: "True".
Cole: "True or false, you believe that the TWF could destroy the GSE anytime,
anywhere".
MM: "True".
Cole: "True or false, you think the Horsemen is the best stable the world has
ever seen".
MM: "True".
Cole: "True or false, you have set up a match between the New Breed and The
Horsemen at King of the Ring"?
MM: "True".
Cole: "Who is the leader of the Horsemen, yourself or Joe Corey"?
MM: "Both".
Cole: "Why Jason Oliver for a Horsemen"?
MM: "He needs guidance to add to his incredible athletic ability and knowledge
of the business".
Cole: "Which stable is better, the NWO or the Horsemen in your opinion"? MM: "Hard
to say because I grew up idolizing the Horsemen and later fell into the
power of the NWO so I would have to say both".
Cole: "Who is your biggest rival in the TWF and why"?
MM: "At this point and time I'd have to say even though I'm not on the same
show as him, Jordan Rockwell due to the fact that back when I was in the GSE
and we had interpromotional ppvs with the company, neither of our egos
clashed but the heat between us has grown incredibly high
over the years and plus I would love to shut his mouth about being the
franchise".
Cole: "We all know you have become a household name in the GSE as you get
older. Can you do what you did there in the TWF"?
MM: "My plan is to make Money Mike a household name in the TWF. It's a great
honor that Vince gave me a contract and the TWF fans have actually taken a
liking to me and with Corey, Oliver and our fourth Horsemen, I know that
people will remember who I am for years to come. So yes I know I can do in
the TWF what I did in the GSE".
