Chicago-- Late this past Monday evening, a report caught on regarding a brand new wrestling promotion. A man known as G-B has lead a group of investors into a venture calling themselves an old school Revolution. And Old School Revolution is exactly what the name implies: old school wrestling with a brand new attitude. The foundation of wrestling itself is in good vs. evil, rooting for the underdog, flipping your boss the bird, and seizing the opportunity to turn one small shot into a career filled with memorable moments. And OSR plans to take that to a whole new level.
Before even announcing the formation of this new promotion, G-B himself announced the first talent acquired by OSR ..."Stone Cold" Steve Austin! No fanfare, no press conference, just a press release that wasn't even sent out on time, thanks to some last minute hardball negotiations by Mr. Austin's agent. Frustrated with those actions, Austin promptly fired his agent in a manner only he could pull off: Kick--Wham--Stunner! When reached for comment, Austin said "You think I'm too stupid to realize that ole' Stone Cold belongs in the Old School Revolution? Unh Unh! Stone Cold is gonna lead the revolution as we stomp a mudhole in the sports entertainment landscape! I ain't gonna sit around and wait for some suited up agent to negotiate my contract while some other promotion tries to snatch me up. I've wrestled for too damn long to worry about pleasin' agents, producers, officials, directors, presidents, you name it. Well now Stone Cold Steve Austin will show the world why you Don't Trust Anyone! I don't care who they throw in front of me, I guaran-damn-tee that at the end of 'Shattered' an ornery Texas Rattlesnake will be standing tall, raising hell and chugging down a few Steveweisers. And that's the bottom line...'cause Stone Cold said so!"
And with that, newspapers and websites worldwide all rang out with the same sound--glass shattering. The Old School Revolution has arrived.
Stay tuned for an upcoming press conference, emanating from Chicago, Illinois, the home of Revolution 1: "Shattered", where OSR will announce it's second PWA draft pick, the man who will face Stone Cold Steve Austin in the first ever OSR main event.
Old School Revolution: Where old school wrestling gets a whole new attitude!
