MIXTAPE Volume #1: THE BIG FOUR

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the inaugural edition of MIXTAPE, a showcase of talent from across the Independent Wrestling Empire! To kick things off, we’ll begin with the big daddies. The heavy hitters. The mainstays. All four wrestlers featured in tonight’s MIXTAPE have been members of the i.W.e. since its formation in 1999, and each and every one of them has held the i.W.e. World Heavyweight title at one point or another. If the i.W.e. were to erect its own Mt. Rushmore, it would be these four faces sculpted into the stone. They inhabit the uppermost echelon of professional wrestling excellence. Lads and lasses, I present to you: THE BIG FOUR.

While he now enjoys a reputation as the most decorated champion in i.W.e. history and arguably one of the greatest professional wrestlers to have ever set foot in a squared circle, Super Bad Ass Sweet Daddy Jones’ career began humbly way back in 1998, when he debuted in the now defunct deathmatch promotion Xtreme Wrestling Federation. His first opponent? None other than Obnoxio the Hardcore Clown. At the time Obnoxio was one of the top draws in the XWF, and he saw to it that SBASDJ’s first match would be a memorable one, with the action spilling all the way outside of the arena and ending in a dumpster behind the building, with the world’s most terrifying clown coming out on top. Little did they know that they’d spend the rest of their careers practically attached at the hip from that point on, following each other from promotion to promotion for the next twenty years. Although they’ve faced each other more times than can be counted and had a few feuds through the years, they’ve been allies more often than not, even winning the i.W.e. Tag Team titles together in 2001. Tonight, however, these two men find themselves in opposite corners once again. Will the world’s most beloved gangster pimp be able to take down the clown, or will Obnoxio be the one laughing when all is said and done?

ROBINO
vs
'B2K' BRAD KUELMAN

Rob O’Reilly and Brad Kuelman were two of the first wrestlers to sign contracts with David Harley’s Insane Wrestling Association when it arrived on the pro-wrestling scene back in 1999, and to this day have remained loyal to their infamous boss, following him every step of the way as his company absorbed promotion after promotion until it became the expansive Empire that it is today. Their loyalty has not gone unrewarded, as these two rarely find themselves far from the World Heavyweight title scene, and each has held the belt on three occasions… and each has lost the belt to the other, twice! Their rivalry is the longest-running and most bitter of all in the i.W.e., and over the past two decades their many matches with one another have never been anything less than sensational. Last time they met, Brad Kuelman was the reigning World Heavyweight champion, but Robino relieved him of the belt after KOing him with a moonsault elbow drop. However, when referee Terry Weldon raised Robino’s hand in victory, a strange scrap of metal came tumbling out of his elbow pad and it was clear to all that his most recent victory over B2K wasn’t entirely on the level. Will Brad get revenge, or will Robino score another win over the suplex machine?
