J.T. Havok Slapping Hands with PPW Fans in Clio
The day J.T. Havok walked through the doors of the Justice League School of Professional Wrestling, Head Trainer Xavier Justice saw something special in the wirily, yet deceivingly athletic mystery known as Blaqk Majik. “He didn’t fit the typical profile of most pro wrestlers. Most of these guys are tan gym rats, but J.T. was different. He dyes his hair, paints his nails, rocks tons of tats, and dresses differently than most. I knew he was nothing like a lot of these guys that try to get into the business, on the surface he didn’t look like your typical wrestler, but there was something about him. He has a passion for what he does. Its like an art form to him.” Said Justice.
Upon graduating from the Justice League, Havok became fast friends with Nick Xero, a 7 year pro that shares the same passions at Havok. It wasn’t long before the friendship they forged outside the ring quickly became a lethal tandem inside the ring. Flying high under the “Team Wreckless” banner, Havok & Xero wasted no time amazing PPW fans with a vast array of unique offensive maneuvers combined with an attitude that holds no regard for personal safety. Since the inception of Team Wreckless, Havok & Xero has been seen dazzling pro wrestling fans all across the state of Michigan on their way to becoming top contenders in the challenging PPW tag team title scene.

Havok has enjoyed his time with Xero. “I’ve learned a lot and Nick is a real good guy. He’s a unique person and he doesn’t feel the need to fit in with what society considers normal. He and I are totally on the same page. This world is all about conformity; people are taught what music to like, what constitutes good film, and what clothes to wear. Its frustrating to see kids growing up these days. I feel like they have no choice, like they can’t become individuals.” Said Havok.
Many off PPW’s young fans who are growing up in these constantly changing and ever -so-frightening times share the same frustrations as Havok. This is why many of these young men and women have adopted Havok & Xero as sort as their generation’s anti-heroes. Two men who will stand up for what’s right without fear of upsetting the delicate balance of what society considers to be moral. Team Wreckless provides a voice for a generation who is growing up without being heard. In a day where scantily clad Disney pop icons are passed off as wholesome role models, kids are being told that college is the only means of becoming a success when most of the nations college graduates remain unemployed; or that fighting in a senseless war where thousands of innocent people have needlessly died is “patriotic,” Havok is the voice of reason; a voice that isn’t afraid to be heard.

“What can I say? I’m not afraid to speak my mind. I’ve never been worried about what other people think, because the truth is that those who are so quick to judge are typically the ones who are the most insecure with themselves. I wear what I want, I say what I want, I do what I want. Being free isn’t easy, but at least its being free.” Said Havok.
Although Team Wreckless has been successful in the ring as a tandem, lately Havok has been testing the waters in singles action. “I’m just trying to get all the experience I can right now. I love wrestling in the tag team division, but I think it only makes me better to give singles a try. I have no intention on a “solo” career at the moment, but don’t be surprised if you see me going after singles gold too.” Said Havok.

Havok has had limited singles matches over the past year, however since the beginning of the third annual Gluttons of Glory Summer Tour, Havok has seen more time in the singles ranks with many of PPW’s top singles competitors. Havok has either scored victories or more than held his own against “Grizzly” House Jones, Ace Evans, Joey Dysaster, Kid Scorpion, “Mad Dragon” Hakim Zane, and rookie sensation Caleb Crosby.
With more experience from singles competition, Havok hopes to use his newfound knowledge to help him and Xero finally become tag team champions; a task that has eluded them in the past. “We’ve been after those belts for a long time now, but we’ve only really had a couple opportunities at them.” We were real close at RETROSLAM 2, but politics got the best of us, I’m not making excuses, but come on, everyone knows we can take Blue Steele.” Said Havok.

PPW is currently in the middle of its 50 event long Gluttons of Glory Summer Tour 3 and at some point Team Wreckless is expected to earn another shot at the PPW Tag Team Championships currently being held by Blue Steele’s “Dazzling” Dominic & “the Big Deal” Cody Manning, the youngest and only double champion in PPW history. Will Team Wreckless walk away with gold by the end of the GOG3? Only time will tell as Pure Pro Wrestling pushes on through the dead heat of summer.

Revenge of a Champion
Former & Longest Reigning Franchise Champion Cleared to Return in July
For almost a year and a half one name was synonymous with the word champion in Pure Pro Wrestling: Chris Korvis. Nicknamed “The Franchise Player,” Korvis defeated every challenger to his PPW Franchise Championship which culminated in a title reign that became the longest in PPW history. Korvis fought and defeated almost every member of the 40+ man roster including Xavier Justice, Zach Gowen, Sebastian Rose, J.T. Havok, “Mad Dragon” Hakim Zane, & Jerome Pruitt over the span of nearly a year and a half. With the support of his fellow Franchise members, Dave Dupont, Aaron Orion, & Evan Epic, Korvis systematically ran through every challenger in his path.
Since Korvis sustained his shoulder injury while training over two months ago, many changes have happened in PPW. For instance, the team that brought him to the top so to speak, the Franchise is no more. Justice League grads Aaron Orion & Evan Epic were released, Tommy Titus’ contract expired, & Dave Dupont’s attention shifted towards a successful multiple month Television Championship campaign. It’s even rumored that Dupont never once contacted Korvis while he was rehabbing his shoulder injury, therefore it will be interesting to see if Dupont and Korvis has continue to have a business relationship. Some speculate that Korvis might actually confront Dupont regarding their reportedly strained relationship.
Another drastic change in the landscape of PPW is in the Franchise Title Picture. Its no secret that Korvis’ historic title reign was brought to an end by current PPW Franchise Champion and Former TNA Star “Maple Leaf Muscle” Petey Williams. Korvis was scheduled to have a rematch against Williams at Championship Chase Weekend, however Korvis sustained his injury the very same day of the event. There is mass speculation as to whether or not Korvis will chose to take advantage of his rematch clause right away or wait to see what the title picture looks like after Williams defense in June. Only time will tell as PPW fans and officials eagerly anticipate the return of “the Franchise Player” Chris Korvis.
Check back with Pure Pro Wrestling Online in the upcoming weeks for more details on the return of Chris Korvis.

Whether you love him or hate him, few can deny that Cody Manning is one of the most established stars in PPW. Manning, who demands to be addressed as “the Big Deal” spends part of his time in PPW rings winning championships and the other part of his time strutting his stuff on runways across the world. Together with his mentor, fellow male model, and his tag team partner “Dazzling” Dominic, Blue Steele has managed to stay on top of the PPW tag team scene since March by defending the titles against such top PPW teams as Body Count, The Bump N’ Uglies, The Hybrid Theory, Kid Static & Finnegan Murphy, & more. As if male modeling and being a PPW pro wrestling champion isn’t enough, Manning had to up the stakes by defeating Father Time over two weeks ago for the PPW Television Championship, making him the only dual title holder in PPW History. And here’s the real kicker, The Big Deal has done this all by the age of 20.
PPW’s Matt Burns was able to get a exclusive interview with Cody Manning and his Blue Steele tag team partner “Dazzling” Dominic.
Burns: Cody, you’ve found a tremendous amount of success as of late. What’s your secret?
Manning: My secret? My secret? Dominic did he really ask the Big Deal for his secret? Listen turd burglar, there’s no secret to the Big Deal! The Big Deal is the secret! I’ve got more talent in my eyebrows than you do your whole pathetic body. Do you know what I eat for breakfast every day?
Burns: No, I don’t know what you eat for breakfast every day.
Manning: I eat greatness. I wake up and pour a big bowl of greatness.
Burns: Hmm…well Cody how do you feel…
Manning: Don’t you dare call me by my slave name! You will refer to me as the Big Deal here on out, otherwise this interview is over!
Dominic: For sure dude we don’t need this. We’ve got to get massages to get ready for our big shoot with Gucci tonight.
Manning: The nerve of this nerf herder.
Burns: I apologize Big Deal, Dominic a question for you if I may. Why do you feel that you and Cody, um, er, the Big Deal make such a good tag team.
Dominic: Damn guy, you really do ask some dumb questions. Did you write these down before you came, or did your five year old girlson do it? As if you don’t already know the answer anyway. Blue Steele has it all daddy. We’ve got the looks, the strut, the moves, the skills, and above all else…perfect hair. With hair like this, you can’t lose. it’s a scientific fact.
Burns: Dominic, Big Deal, on July 31 you have your final match with Body Count. How are you preparing for this highly anticipated match against Xavier Justice & Hades?
Manning: Prepare? Wow, yet another brilliant question from Sir Numb Nuts over there. We don’t need to prepare, just look at these abs.
Dominic: And look at this gold.
Manning: Yeah dog, look at the gold. I’ve got two belts. (Laughing)
Manning and his partner “Dazzling” Dominic may come off as brash and arrogant, and for all intensive purposes they truly are; however, its hard to argue with the fact that Blue Steele has backed up everything they’ve ever said they were going to do, including holding on to the PPW Tag Team Championships.
Don’t miss Cody Manning & “Dazzling” Dominic as they defend their PPW Tag Team Championships on July 31 at Rollcall of Champions in Waterford. Bell time is at 7PM for this highly anticipated event and tickets are available at the door.
