Austin Baron Suspended Following Post-Badlands Brawl
The hits seem to keep coming for the Baron Family. After a two-month ordeal that saw Vic Baron both kidnapped and arrested, the older Baron now sees himself in hot water, this time with longtime friend Tank McDaniel. Earlier today, Warrior Pro released the following statement:
“Earlier today we informed Austin Baron, our head trainer and a Hall of Fame wrestler, that he will be suspended indefinitely pending an internal review due to his actions after last week’s Badlands. While we realize that confrontations are common among wrestlers, we hold our management staff to a higher standard and cannot have our trainers assaulting members of our roster. I hold Mr. Baron and his family legacy in the highest regards, and my hope is that we can come to a resolution to this matter in a way that keeps the Baron family in charge of training our wrestlers for years to come.
In the interim, we have a need for a trainer with experience that can fill in while our review is completed. Given the immediate need and the familiarity with our roster, I have asked Wonderland to step in and be our Head Trainer in an acting capacity. The Wonderland Dojo is renowned across the country as an elite wrestling school, and his vast knowledge will serve this company well until the Austin Baron matter is resolved.”
Neither Vic nor Austin Baron responded to requests for comment…

In other news, both Rampage Hunter and John Logan announced they will enter the G2 tournament. Logan was last seen losing to Rampage at New Dawn, while Rampage is working through a 3 fight losing streak that saw him lose the Warrior Pro World Title, and a shot at the iWe Intercontinental championship. Both kept their announcements short via twitter:
Logan:
“Time to get back to work, that title isn’t winning itself #G2”
“Ain’t no one more dangerous than a man with nothing left to lose. Time to Rampage. #GoldenGateTournament #FuckYouDoc

In addition, some outside talent announced their inclusion in the coming tournament...
"The last two weeks have been... hell on earth. Forced out of the company I built with my own two hands, stabbed in the back by the person I trained and trusted... heh. But I should've seen it coming all along. It should've been obvious from the start. Mercy held her loyalty to the company... but never to me."
Kevin Royce steps into view of the camera, and while he still appears in somewhat rough shape after the brutal match that saw him in a three-on-one, he certainly doesn't look like he's ready to call it quits.
"Right now, though... Evergreen is in the back of my mind. A while back I heard about this G2 tournament Warrior Pro was gonna hold... and before all this shit went down, I let 'em know I wanted in. Fact is... I'm still taking part. And I'll show Warrior Pro, and everyone else, that I'm far from finished... and when this is all said and done, maybe I'll stand at the top... or maybe I'll come back home to take back what's mine. Either way... you'd better be ready for a hardcore legend to join the fray. Because by the time this all starts... I'll be 100% again. And nobody, NOBODY, is going to have it easy."

NT., A TAILOR. THE IMPOSING JOHNNY THROWBACK COMES INTO FRAME, TYING A PAISLEY-PATTERNED TIE AND ADJUSTING A BLAZER. A BEAT AS HE SMIRKS TO THE CAMERA THROUGH THE REFLECTION OF THE THREE-WAY MIRROR.
THROWBACK: Well, 'ere I am, Johnny Throwback. The old-timey wrestlin' gentleman with nowhere to wrestle.
Y'see, I signed with SHTCWA for a reason: I was lookin' to be the centerpiece of a great thing: a revitalization of propah, good wrestlin'. The European Wrestlin' Union. Then they had to faff about wiff their schedulin' or their constant need for "tweakin' to get things right." Buncha excuses. So here's Johnny Throwback, one o' the best—no, THE BEST catch-as-catch-can, THE BEST SUPLEXIN' WRESTLAH in the world not wrestlin'.
Here's Johnny Throwback, properly suited 'n boot, yeah? Lookin' proper posh, lookin' all ready to properly be an ambassador of professional wrestlin', lookin' all ready to lead SHTCWA to glory then they fuck off 'n cock it up. So I've gotta do somethin', yeah?
So I'm thinkin' "Well, if SHTCWA ain't gonna have me, let's bring some culture to America, yeah? Let's show the Americans what propah wrestlin's like. Let's go to filthy, disgustin' California—to the filthy, disgustin' Bay Area WHERE THERE'S LITERAL HUMAN FECES IN YER TUBE SYSTEM, n' let's show 'em somethin' right special. Let's class up this joint. Let's throw back to a simpler, a better time, yeah?
I'm classin' Warrior Pro, I'm classin' up America, I'm classin' up the whole damned world of professional wrestlin'. And it's startin' with the G2 Tournament. I'm takin' that spotlight whether anyone else likes it or not—and if ya don't I'll drop ya on yer head.
