Beau Douglas, owner of The Bell Time Club wrestling school (and 2018 New England Wrestling Hall of Fame inductee) graciously allowed us to observe and document a unique event: The Perry Saturn Seminar.

Perry Saturn (also a 2018 NEWHOF inductee) presented an amazing seminar for a group of young wrestling students. As a veteran teacher (16 years at the University level –  I’m actually a real Professor) I can say without exaggeration that it was one of the most powerful educational sessions I’ve seen.

Mr. Saturn spent the first half answering questions and giving advice to the students based on his illustrious career in ECW, WCW, WWF, and The Territories. In the second half the students did drills and matches while Mr. Saturn gave them direct feedback and instruction. The thing that impressed us the most was when Beau Douglas announced that the seminar reached the end of its scheduled time Mr. Saturn kept going for well over an hour and a half, saying that he wanted to make sure that everyone got what he needed. They did and more.

Perry Saturn is a God.

The Bitter Club is composed of Buddy Romano, Sensational Scott Levesque, and Carlos Esteban. Messrs. Levesque and Romano are New England legends, having held titles all over the region. Mr. Esteban is an up and coming talent from Portland, Maine. The team has invoked The Freebird Rule, making it a 3-man endeavor.

The Bitter Club is known for its generous tutoring of young wrestlers such as Hugo Brito, and their charitable work with The Special Olympics. It’s nice to have champions that the kids can look up to.

We covered Fan Fest for the second time on Saturday. Some greats from yesteryear were in attendance such as James J. Dillon, The Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant, and Paul Roma. One of our main objectives was to focus on Perry Saturn as part of our ongoing project with Paul Richard. (We didn’t get a whole lot of pictures during the induction ceremony as the room as packed and we wanted to respect the honorees. NEFF6 is going to post their own video).

This was our first Hall of Fame induction ceremony. We found it quite moving and meaningful. The inductors and inductees gave eloquent, heartfelt speeches. Particularly good was Paul Roma’s induction of his late partner Hercules Hernandez.

Thanks to Mr. Joe Bruen for putting it all together and allowing us to be a small part of it.

Showcase Pro Wrestling
1 June, 2018
Showcase Arena
Woonsocket, RI USA

Ring Announcer: Sergeant Muldoon
Referees: Rob Roberts, Frank Rocha
Promoter: Chris Blackheart

Professor’s Notes: The last night of the summer in Woonsocket before SPW hits the road on the festival circuit. A birthday party ruined. The Big Dawg gets ever closer to his goal. The Return of The Kid in an improbable victory. MIA I noticeably improving as a worker. Frank Rocha treats the fans to his vocal style with a rousing rendition of The Star Spangled Banner. It was only in the high 80s in the arena, at least 20 degrees cooler than it would be in July.

Sergeant Muldoon

Match videos will be available after 9:00 p.m EST 4 June at our YouTube channel.

Match 1. Superstar Shawn Candido v. Buddy Romano (with Sensational Scott Levesque, Carlos Esteban, & Ruby Bastein). W – Romano

Lesson #1A in wrestling: Don’t take someone on who has 2 confederates ringside. The Superstar and Buddy are fairly well matched but this was an inevitable outcome. Superstar drops Romano’s face on his knees, knocks Carlos off the apron, scares Ruby half to death without laying a finger on him, but gives Buddy a chance to recover, bounce his neck off the ropes, and roll him up for a pin. Fair is Fair, Romano wins.

Match 2. Kid Reflex Eric Dylan v. Buck Nasty. W – Dylan

Buck Nasty entered displaying what he must have thought was a Confederate flag but was in reality a cheap silk screen he probably found left over from a 1978 beach party. He demanded that Referee Roberts salute the beer souvenir. He refused to do so. Dylan, who purposely chooses to fight big men, used his guile and quickness to outsmart the giant from Deliverance, staying alive long into the match.

Enter Blade Runner, who somehow hypnotized or possibly possessed Nasty, allowing The Kid to get in a face breaker and pin. Blade Runner then led a babbling Buck Nasty out of the ring area. Weird.

Match 3. Sensational Scott Levesque (with Buddy Romano, Carlos Esteban, & Ruby Bastein) v. Big Dawg Butler. W – Levesque

This started with Sergeant Muldoon re-introducing a veteran of SPW who is in contention to be the new Commissioner, Johnny Ray Justus. Ruby Bastein came out and ruined the interview, making some bizarre claim that his father’s financial power would allow him to shut down the company and rename it “Bitter Club Wrestling”. His Bitter Club colleagues emerged and a Levesque v. Butler match was on.

Test of Strength

Big Dawg Butler

The Premiere Wrestler of New England Sensational Scott Levesque

Again, even if you are over six feet tall and nearly 300 pounds, never fight a match with someone with 2 seconds at ringside. The Big Dawg is getting a lot of shots at top guys, in this case The Premiere Wrestler of New England. We get a sense that momentum is on his side in his quest for recognition and titles at SPW. The man from Memphis used his advantages to give Mr. Levesque a lot of trouble. Scott left the ring more than once to take the microphone to demand that the fans stop “barking” or he would go home. Butler allowed himself to be distracted by Bastein. A kick to the bread basket and a bulldog masterfully applied by Mr. Levesque ended things.

Match 4. Carlos Esteban v. MIA I. W – Esteban

Carlos came out alone, probably thinking his Bitter Club buds need not provide any assistance for a match against the winless MIA I. A mistake. MIA I has improved dramatically. Carlos was lucky to get the win, dropping the New Zealander on his face followed by a pin.

The Bitter Club entered with a nice birthday surprise for Carlos. Buddy presented Carlos with one of the Tag Team Belts. The Bitter Club has been given clearance by the office to invoke The Freebird Rule, which means that the title is a three way entity that can be defended by any two members whenever they choose.

The Club celebrated for a while with party hats and streamers in the ring until Mr. Don Vega and Cargill Vinton spoiled the party, setting up next week’s six man no DQ match in Taunton. The Bitter Club left plenty angry. Mr. Vega and Mr. Vinton mocked them all the way out.

Match 5.  Sons of Liberty Championship: Diabolical Scott Ledeur v. Chris Matrix. W – Ledeur

Another grudge match between former best friends and Tag Team Champions. If anyone could take the S.O.L. title from Ledeur, it would be Matrix. Unfortunately for him, his anger got in the way. Scott entered the room without his living doll Annabelle, though it seemed to us that he thought she was with him, perhaps in invisible form. Who knows what goes through that demented mind? Deep into the match the power gave out for several seconds. Matrix claimed after Ledeur pinned him fairly that he had  him pinned during the blackout. Not true. We were ringside and he had him in the ropes. Ledeur keeps his title (barely). Matrix continues to be the number one threat to all title holders in SPW.

On this Memorial Day please take time to remember the men and women who fought and died to ensure our lives in this amazing land. The American Soldier is responsible for ending slavery and the liberation of millions of people from totalitarian regimes. God bless them all.
