Four days and counting until the return of the UK’s number 1 new wrestling promotion. 1PW presents the NO TURNING BACK weekend on Friday January 6th and Saturday, January 7th 2006 at The Dome in Doncaster, South Yorkshire with a stellar line-up of stars including AJ STYLES, JEFF JARRETT, SAMOA JOE, CHRISTOPHER DANIELS, STEVE CORINO and exclusive appearances by legendary world champion BRET “THE HITMAN” HART.
And with the holiday season upon us, what wrestling fan wouldn’t want Father Christmas to bring them a pair of tickets to see all the action and excitement of 1PW’s NO TURNING BACK weekend?
JEFF JARRETT STILL FLUMMOXED BY “MYSTERY OPPONENT”
Amidst cries that 1PW is being run by “a bunch of slapnuts”, NWA World champion Jeff Jarrett continues to prepare for the NTB weekend and the daunting challenge that lays ahead. In order to qualify for the 1PW World title tournament, Jarrett will have to go through his arch-rival, AJ Styles in Saturday night’s main event.
If he makes it to Saturday, that is.
After having used some underhanded legals tactics to force his way into 1PW, Jarrett knew he wouldn’t be making any friends with the matchmakers. But how on earth could he have expected Bret Hart to step up and offer to bring a “mystery wrestler” to Doncaster to take him out?
“Where the hell does Bret Hart get the nerve to stick his nose into the King of the Mountain’s business? I want to know who the hell this mystery wrestler is”, Jarrett yelled in a recent phone call to the 1PW offices. “Is it some former tag partner of his? Someone his family trained? Someone IN his family? Some friend of his he knows doesn’t like me? Well, it doesn’t matter none. I’m not letting some two-bit retired Canadian slapnut or anyone he hangs out with get in the way of Planet Jarrett.”
SMOTHERS THREATENS “ULTRA MASS MEGA HOMICIDE” ON THE CITIZENS OF DONCASTER
TRACY SMOTHERS, one half of the SOUTHERN COMFORT tag team that will face off against AL SNOW and THE BLUE MEANIE at NTB, is unhappy. And when Tracy Smothers is unhappy, he makes sure a lot of other people are unhappy too.
What’s making Mr Smothers unhappy, you ask? Well, why don’t we let him tell you?
“I’m unhappy ‘cuz that idiot Meanie keeps callin’ my house all hours of the day and night botherin’ me. He sings the chorus from “Yellow Submarine” to me. He does his lame-ass Dave Chapelle impression for me. He asks me 20 times a day if I like cool ranch dressin’? Cool ranch dressin’? What in the name’a Stan Hansen is cool ranch dressin’? I AM GONNA KILL EVERYONE I SEE WHEN I GETS TO DONCASTER!”
Meanie, on the other hand, says he’s just fighting fire with fire. He knows that Smothers and partner CHRIS HAMRICK will have all kinds of shenanigans in store for their matches so he’s just “getting in the first shenan”. And, as he also told us, “a befuddled Tracy Smothers is a beatable Tracy Smothers”.
