*BREAKING NEWS* Over the last couple of weeks, we had been reporting of a major announcement that was expected to be coming from HIW office. This HUGE news broke this morning in a press release on the HIW Canada website: “High Impact Wrestling is proud to announce that it has officially launched a second promotion under the “HIW” banner. The new promotion, which will be named “High Impact Wrestling Wildside” or in its shortened form “HIW Wildside”, officially opened its doors for business this morning and the new office has already been hard at work through the night securing talent to perform for the new company. HIW Wildside and HIW Canada will run independently of each other under the parent company High Impact Wrestling. Each will have their own event schedule, and feature completely different rosters of performers than one another. HIW’s major events, known as the “Big Three” which include “Spring MELTDOWN”, “Pile O’ Bones Rumble”, and “King’s Challenge”, will now become shared events, and will feature talent from both promotions. The official HIW training school, the High Impact Training Academy, will now become a shared facility, offering training to prospects and new students secured by either company. Many Wildside perfomers will make their debut in the 30 man Rumble at Pile O’ Bones Rumble XVIII in July. The order in which Wildside performers are eliminated will directly affect seeding in a tournament to be held later this year to determine the first HIW Wildside champion, although won’t finalize all seeds as some will be determined via qualifying matches at a later date. If a Wildside performer should win the Rumble, he will bypass seeding and will have earned the right to wrestle the winner of the Wildside championship tournament. In subsequent years, if a Wildside roster member should win the Rumble, he will earn the #1 contender spot for his respective company’s title, as would a member of the HIW Canada roster. The inaugural HIW Wildside event is slated for Friday, Sept. 20th. No other information on the event is available at this time. We at High Impact Wrestling are very excited about this new project and are very much looking forward to watching this new company grow alongside its sister company, HIW Canada. Wildside will open doors and opportunities that were previously unavailable for performers across the country, and will offer wrestling fans an exciting alternative to the already available products.” Here is a list of performers that were officially signed to WIldside contracts as of this morning: - Jacob Creed Creed is a 6’ 3” 285lbs rough and tumble product of the High Impact Training Academy. The cowboy, originally hailing from Ludlow, Missouri, likes a good fight as much as he loves a good party. Creed has a decorated background in the martial art of Muay Thai, which combined with his physical size and brute strength, makes him a VERY dangerous competitor. - Fil Deadly Deadly is a student of the Lance Storm Academy, run by former ECW/WCW/WWE star Lance Storm. Deadly is still fresh to the ring, but is steadily growing his offensive arsenal and will be a force in WIldside. His brash cocky attitude and flashy style may not earn him many friends in the locker room or in the audience, but if this young prospect can meet his already bright potential to back up that cocky attitude, he’ll be unstoppable! - Ace Riviera Ace has been around the Canadian wrestling scene for a few years now. He received his formal training from Canadian wrestling star, Mentallo, and wrestled briefly for HIW Canada a year ago. This young star has a black belt in judo which gives him a quickness in movement and striking ability that most other grapplers do not possess. He makes up for his small stature with stellar mat work and a no fear attitude when standing across the ring from an opponent. Watch for this kid to make some waves. - Rockstar The Rockstar returns to High Impact Wrestling for the first time since July of 2012, but this time he’ll be lighting up the crowd under the WIldside banner! Many were surprised when the former Great Plains Provincial champion signed with the fledgling company but after a lengthy stay in Japan to find himself, he decided that Wildside would be the best fit for his wild wrestling style. This young man will definitely be a contender for Wildside gold when the championship tournament goes down later this year! The official Wildside website is set to launch early next week, although the Facebook page is now active (see below link) and a Twitter account is expected to be up and running before the end of the day today.
