Alex Silva: I’m your man, ‘Big Sexy’

Chris Graham

If you’re Alex Silva, the world is your oyster, the AWE your stage.

With all the talk about Silva being a future world-title contender, Silva is thinking to himself, Why wait? The future might as well be now.

“I should be the tag-team partner. I should be in the main event,” said Silva, joining the list of AWE Superstars offering services to Kevin Nash, who is in need of a partner for his main-event tag-team match at the Oct. 15 AWE Night of Legends pay-per-view.

Nash has still not made a final call on who he will choose to be his partner. Early speculation focused on former tag-team partner Diamond Dallas Page, who has both hinted that he will have Nash’s back if asked and that he still considers himself “retired” from active competition.

Several AWE Superstars have been in touch with Nash to offer themselves as his main-event partner, according to reports.

Anderson: The showstopper

The buzz around C.W. Anderson’s match at the AWE Night of Legends pay-per-view is about his opponent that night, Perry Saturn.

Which is understandable, considering that Saturn is returning to the ring at Night of the Legends after a nine-year absence.

“The Enforcer” doesn’t mind that we’re all talking about Saturn going into Night of the Legends. He knows you’ll be talking about how Anderson stole the show going out.

“Every time this Anderson is on pay-per-view, he’s the match of the night, he’s the match everyone talks about. Come Oct. 15, whoever this Anderson steps in the ring against, watch me steal the show and take it to the extreme,” Anderson said.

 

Finlay: Steppingstone?

Alex Silva is being talked about as a future AWE World Heavyweight Champion.

The “Loose Cannon” first has to cross the formidable hurdle that is Fit Finlay, who doesn’t so much like the idea that he’s a bump in the road for Mr. Silva at the Oct. 15 AWE Night of Legends pay-per-view.

“You may think I’m a steppingstone. I hope you keep thinking I’m a steppingstone. Sunshine, I’m never a steppingstone. And you will find out that I am the best wrestler in the world, and that I’m the roughest, toughest, meanest SOB out there,” Finlay said.

Short Sleeve: Wrestling, and proud of it

Short Sleeve Sampson has heard the pleadings from wrestling fans.

We want wrestling. Please, bring back wrestling. Where has wrestling gone?

“You know what – in AWE, we’ve heard your cries, we’ve heard your requests, we’ve read your petitions,” said Sampson, who has wrestled all over the world in companies big and small, and is proud to call Awesome Wrestling Entertainment “home.”

“No more is there going to be somebody talking on a microphone for 20 minutes with no wrestling. No more is it going to be that you can’t see a match start and see it all the way to the finish with wrestling. No more are you going to be sitting there saying, Where’s the wrestling With Awesome Wrestling Entertainment, we are wrestling, and proud of it,” Sampson said.

 

Dutt: Don’t miss Night of Legends

Not just Sonjay Dutt. Not just Kevin Nash. Not just DDP.

“Everybody is going to be there. Everybody who is anybody is going to be on pay-per-view,” said Dutt, who will face Jamin Olivencia at the Oct. 15 AWE Night of Legends pay-per-view.
