Ecstasy of Gold: Competitor Rundow Part 4 IP: 24.254.113.51 Posted on 9/10/2009 at 06:46:45 AM by Ultimate Wrestling News and Rumors "The Former Sinner" Nick Virtue Title History: Ultimate Wrestling Heavyweight Champion HPW United States Champion Two Time IWC Tag Team Champion Nick Virtue is another one of those guys going into this tournament looking to make history. “The Former Sinner” is currently the Ultimate Wrestling Heavyweight Champion and wants to be the first double champion in Ultimate Wrestling’s existence. Virtue feels that he is better than the entire Ultimate Wrestling roster, as a wrestler and as a person. Virtue has held Tag Team Gold before, but has never even had a shot at it in UW. Along with Maze, Nick Virtue made history in Milton when he was involved in the Match of the Year of 2002. Virtue certainly has staying power as a singles wrestler as he is the longest reigning Ultimate Wrestling Heavyweight Champion to date, at 10 months, but will that mean he can work well with others in a tag team format? Once again, fate and luck play a huge part in this very special tournament. If Nick is lucky enough, he’ll get a partner who not only wants it as bad as him, but has the ability. Chance of winning based on percent: 75% "The Canadian Superstar" Aeon Flexx Title History: Five Time AWF (Chipley) Heavyweight Champion Two Time XW 2000 Heavyweight Champion Two Time AWF (Mobile) Heavyweight Champion Two Time DSPW Heavyweight Champion One Time CCW Heavyweight Champion Two Time SCCW Heavyweight Champion Flexx is no stranger to gold. In the early summer of 2009 Aeon Flexx and his partner Rikki Rocket were going into Ultimate Wrestling’s debut Milton show with a ton of steam to face The Ultimate Legends for the Tag Team Titles. Insiders say that The Legends’ time was up and Flexx and Rocket would’ve walked out of Milton as new champs, finally dethroning the champs after a year of reigning over the entire division. Rocket was seriously injured by Bobby Doll just two weeks before their big match for the titles. Bobby Doll claims that they never lost the title, but Flexx claims he never had the opportunity to win them. Everyone is now on an even playing field and now that Flexx has settled his score with Bobby Doll, he is looking to take what he feels he was never given a chance at. Chance of winning based on percent: 80% TA Jones Title History: CSW United States Champion 2007 Ultimate Wrestling Rookie of the Year “Ultimate Wrestling’s First Son” TA Jones is more focused than he’s ever been. Jones has been in a bit of a rut lately. Jones doesn’t have the most impressive win/loss record but he’s still heavily cheered by Ultimate Wrestling fans. Sometimes, it seems that the fans want the “big win” for Jones more than he does. TA Jones feels like he has a lot to prove in Milton on September 12th. TA Jones’ record does not help his odds in the Ecstasy of Gold tournament. If Jones is lucky enough to get paired with a vet who can help him along the way, then his odds go up. Whether Jones wins or loses, look for him to give 110% and never back down. Chance of winning based on percent: 35% Jet Angel Title History: N/A “The High Flying” Jet Angel has been wowing Ultimate Wrestling fans over the past few months with his quickness and his ability to take to the air like an F-14. He has a pretty good record going into the Ecstasy of Gold Tournament but his loss on September 5th to “The Bruiserweight” Maze certainly has killed some of his momentum going into this very important opportunity. Little is known of Jet Angle’s tag team wrestling background. Jet is also very new to the UW locker room. Will Jet Angel be able to adapt on September 12th when he has to work with somebody he doesn’t know very well? Chance of winning based on percent: 45% As you can see, there is a lot riding on this very special night in Ultimate Wrestling. This writer wishes he knew exactly who was going to be in the tournament. The competitors that were highlighted were strictly the ones that have been at the most recent shows. The UW fans may see some new faces and they may see some old faces. One thing is for sure, it’s going to be a very special night where new alliances will be formed and current ones might be destroyed. Thank you for making Ultimate Wrestling the best wrestling promotion on the gulf coast. See you in Milton!
