Steeltown Honours by SPWsuperfan01
For people looking to make a name for themselves in Steeltown Pro Wrestling there are a lot of options from championships titles to awards.
In the past there was the CEW Inter-Cities and TRCW Heavyweight Titles along with the SPW Heavyweight, SPW Provincial and SPW Tag Team Titles. SPW now recognizes only their top three titles so for a wrestler looking to make a statement they want to win one of those.
What if you can’t seem to get a title shot? What if you want to do something that will force SPW officials to give you a title shot? SPW has a few options!
One way is by fan voting on SteeltownProWrestling.ca. Each year SPW hosts a poll with the question being “Who is SPW Wrestler of the Year”. Two people have won this award, Bobby Jay and SYKO and both men were given championship matches. We’re close to the end of the year and my vote for 2010 is Ike Idol or Chi Chi Cruz.
Another way is the annual Red River Rumble where the winner is awarded a shot the SPW Heavyweight Title. Matt Fairlane won the Red River Rumble in 2008 and in 2010 while Rob Stardom won the 2009 edition. The Red River Rumble has become one of SPW’s biggest events of the year along with the Anniversary Show so there is not better place to step-up.
The third is the recently created Kerry Brown Memorial Tournament where the winner is awarded a giant trophy. The first winner of the trophy was Chi Chi Cruz, a good friend of Kerry Brown’s. This is SPW’s newest honour and could lead to a title match for Chi Chi Cruz either against Marius for the Heavyweight Title or even his nemesis Ike Idol for the Provincial Title.
For retired and semi-retired wrestlers there is the SPW Lifetime Achievement Award which has been awarded to Sgt. Tom Steele (2008), Dave Petro (2009), Ernie Rheault (March 2010) and Puppy Dog Peloquin (September 2010). A lot of people deserve this award like Jethro Hawg or Tony Condello just to name two but I think one or two winners a year is enough.
If you want a make a name for yourself and write your name in pro wrestling history books, SPW gives wrestlers a lot of options: 3 championships, a fan voting award, a rumble, a tournament and a lifetime achievement award. I wonder if anyone well ever be able to score a “grand slam” and win them all! If anyone can do it, it’s one of my favourite wrestlers: MATT FAIRLANE!
