Wrestle AM, 1/2 wrestling show - half morning show with your hosts "The HUGE 1" Dave K and James "Donkey Kong" Legend shake up the mornings 5 days a week at 10am to noon on the Knockout Radio Network on Kocosports.com - Starts this Monday March 19th at 10 am! 3/17/2007 8:29 AM

Kocosports.com & Tampa All Pro Wrestling proudly present TAP's first night of action on Tuesday March 27th, 2007 @ The Dallas Bull in Tampa, Florida!! You will see professional wrestling return to the city of Tampa on this night! Stars already signed to appear:

 

INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTARS OPPONENT FINALLY NAMED:

Local superstar "The Raging Bull" Eddie Taurus steps into the ring with easily his biggest challenge to date. The former ACW heavyweight champion, 2 time ACW tag team champion looks to start off 2007 after a break out year in 2006 against former WWF superstar D'LO BROWN! D'Lo Brown is looking to make his mark on Tampa All Pro, but Eddie Taurus is no slouch and will not lay down for the former WWF and current All Japan Pro Wrestling superstar. With Eddie being the hometown hero of Tampa, can D'Lo Brown overcome the home court advantage that Taurus has or will Taurus leave Now Or Never embarrassed and beaten?

 

NWA-TNA star Tomko comes into Tampa All Pro as the "Problem Solver" for NWA champion Christian Cage, but little did he realize - he has his own problems to solve in the Tampa All Pro ring! Tomko has been booked against "The Japanese Nightmare" Kahagas - the stiff Asian superstar that has dominated the Florida rankings for months. In case this matchup wasn't big enough for you, TAP has another surprise in store for the fans.....special guest referee - Florida legend "The Black Nature Boy" Scoot Andrews! This matchup is bound to be explosive, and with Scoot calling the action - the TAP fans are in for some incredible action.

 

MTV'S WRESTLING SOCIETY X SUPERSTAR JOSH "JUG" RAYMOND READY TO RUMBLE!

Florida superstar "The 8th Deadly Sin" Sideshow takes on "The Trendsetter" Josh Abercrombie from IWA-MS and Wrestling Society X! This matchup is going to showcase some very fast paced action as Sideshow tends to go more for the high impact, hardcore style while Abercrombie is a bruiser, taking you to the grown and using his stiff kicks and submission experience to set you up for his "Taliban Backpack" finisher. Sideshow, mostly known for his "Double Penetration" finisher has been using the "Back Cracker" as of late to finish his opponents - which is the same hold as Josh's Taliban Backpack!

 

TAMPA ALL PRO CROSSES OVER TO THE MAINSTREAM?!

We knew that after signing stars like Tyson Tomko, Kip James, D'Lo Brown and more - that Tampa All Pro was making waves in the wrestling world but we never expected that we would be making waves in the mainstream sports world as well! Last Friday afternoon on the Talking Sports Network and talkingsportsnetwork.com, it was announced that NFL defensive lineman Chris Hovan from the Tampa Bay Bucs made the announcement that he would be in the Dallas Bull on March 27th for TAP. This is huge news as it means TAP is slowly crossing over from the wrestling media to the mainstream. Hovan didn't give much information on what he will be doing at TAP or why he will be there - but TAP will welcome the NFL star with open arms.

 

ANOTHER LOCAL SUPERSTAR TRIES HIS LUCK AGAINST A TNA STAR

"Maverick" Matt Bentley has been showcasing his talent on TNA for numerous years now. A veteran of matches like the devastating Ultimate X can up his game at the drop of a hat when his opponent calls for A game level. Coming into TAP, Bentley thought he could take it easy and walk away with a win and an easy pay day - but Tampa All Pro is about competition and competition is what Bentley will get when he faces Aaron Epic 1 on 1 at "Now or Never' Epic is a lightweight standout in Florida independents, on the verge of breaking out of his shell with numerous victories over top indy level talent such as Delirious, Gran Akuma, Joey Ryan, Altar Boy Luke and many others.

 

THIRD TIMES A CHARM?

The match up being talked about around Florida is being billed as quite possibly the biggest rematch in Florida to date. Kip James and Bruce Santee have locked up in the squared circle on 2 prior occasions (EWE and UXW) with Kip being the victor in both contests. Bruce Santee laid out the challenge for March 27th and almost without hesitation Kip James accepted with open arms. Both men are larger than life competitors and the fans are in for quite a barnburner as the 2 giants do it one more time for the Tampa Bay fans!

 

BATTLE BAY - LOCAL TALENT FIGHT TO SURVIVE!!

Also don't forget you will witness the first ever "Battle Bay" battle royal melee in where the last man standing receives the "Battle Bay" trophy and the opportunity to hand pick his opponent at the next Tampa All Pro event! Matches signed so far: Bruce Santee vs. NWA TNA's Kip James D'lo Brown vs. "The Raging Bull" Eddie Taurus Aaron Epic vs. "Maverick" Matt Bentley "The Japanese Nightmare" Kahagas vs. Tyson Tomko "The 8th Deadly Sin" vs. "The Trendsetter" Josh Abercrombie Eric Cooper vs. Former ECW Star Hack Meyers Death Match: Big Japan's Craig Classic vs. Dany Only Sedrick Strong vs. Shan Hill Also scheduled to appear: WWE Legend Jerry Saggs, The Lifeguards, Ray Beez, Chris Jones, Nooie Lee, Austin Amadeus, Nick Fame, Shayne Swyft, Marcus Hall, Pretty Fly, Mark Zout, Jose and Many More! 3/22/2007 2:28 AM
