Florida’s No Peace Underground<\/strong> kicked open the doors of WrestleMania Week for the independents on Wednesday with NPU Fatalism<\/em><\/strong>, and they return for a second dose of their unique brand at 11:59 pm on Thursday night as part of the IndependentWrestling.tv (IWTV)<\/strong><\/a> series of events, with NPU Murder Mania<\/strong><\/em>. NPU has emerged as one of Florida’s top independent promotions, creating an anything-goes environment in an n0-ring environment. Here’s a look at Thursday’s card.<\/p>\n

The Hallowed (Lord Crewe & Otis Cogar) vs. Nolan Edward & Wolfe Taylor<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The Hallowed<\/strong> is a fairly new tag team on the U.S. indies, born in IWA Mid South<\/strong> last month. But the two men involved are not rookies. Lord Crewe<\/strong> has been building his presence since his debut in the Ohio indie circuit around 2015, but he’s shown a mean streak that has brought him to IWA Mid South, Paradigm Pro Wrestling, Rockstar Pro<\/strong>, and more, including Florida’s No Peace Underground. His partner is Otis Cogar<\/strong> – if the last name sounds familiar it’s because he’s the “brother” of Atticus Cogar<\/strong>, with whom he won various tag team titles several years ago. While Atticus was the first of the Cogar Brothers to break nationally, Otis has spent the past year showing he’s no Marty Jannetty. Together, the two men are determined to prove they belong and Murder Mania<\/em>. Michigan\u2019s Nolan Edward<\/strong>\u00a0had an absolutely explosive 2020, with a fearless style in the ring that has made him an instant star with the likes of\u00a0ICW No Holds Barred<\/strong>, PPW, ACTION Wrestling<\/strong>, No Peace Underground, and many more. He\u2019s even competed on recent editions of\u00a0Josh Barnett\u2019s Bloodsport<\/em>.\u00a0Wolfe Taylor\u00a0<\/strong>is a veteran of the Florida indie scene and NPU regular, who has also worked for Generation Championship Wrestling (GenCW)<\/strong>, Pro Wrestling 2.0<\/strong>, and others.<\/p>\n

Treehouse Lee vs. JJ Garrett<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"MurderMania<\/a><\/p>\n

Treehouse Lee<\/strong>\u00a0has been a rising star in the Florida indies since 2017, and finally broke out on a national level at the end of 2019 when he made his GCW debut at\u00a0GCW Jimmy All The Way<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0<\/em>where he was victorious in his debut Scramble Match. He returned to GCW for two more events in early 2020 before the pandemic hit, somewhat sending Treehouse Lee into hiding, just as the rest of the country was becoming aware of his amazing in-ring abilities. In December of 2020, he made his GCW return at\u00a0Good Riddance<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0<\/em>where he defeated another GCW returnee in\u00a0Saieve Al Sabah<\/strong>. Two months into 2021, he\u2019s rebuilding his momentum with strong showings in VxS and Florida\u2019s\u00a0No Peace Underground<\/strong>, and faced Joey Janela at\u00a0GCW Wind of God\u00a0<\/em>during\u00a0GCW Fight Forever<\/em>. JJ Garrett is a near 10-year pro, starting out in his home state of Iowa before breaking out into promotions like\u00a0IWA Mid-South, Beyond Wrestling<\/strong>, and\u00a0AAW Pro<\/strong>. Over the next few years, he became a staple on the Midwest indie circuit, adding the likes of\u00a0DREAMWAVE, Freelance Wrestling<\/strong>,\u00a0Pro Wrestling ZERO1 USA,\u00a0Glory Pro,\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Zelo Pro Wrestling<\/strong> to his travels. Long considered an underrated talent, the past couple of years has seen his profile finally reach a national audience, capped off by his\u00a0All Elite Wrestling (AEW)<\/strong>\u00a0debut on\u00a0AEW DARK\u00a0<\/em>this past February<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ace Austin vs. Jamie Senegal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Ace<\/a><\/p>\n

The current reigning 2x IMPACT X-Division Champion Ace Austin<\/strong> has found a way to be both a top star with IMPACT Wrestling<\/strong> and continue to build his legacy on the indies, working with the likes of AAW Pro, Game Changer Wrestling (GCW), Ohio Wrestling Alliance (OWA), Warrior Wrestling<\/strong>, and more over the past few years. At\u00a0Murder Mania<\/em>, he faces “The Punk Rock Kween” Jamie Senegal<\/strong>. Senegal was a mainstay with Pennsylvania’s Atomic Championship Wrestling (ACW)<\/strong>, where she’s a former ACW Heavyweight Champion and 2x ACW Cruiserweight Champion. In November of 2019, she made her\u00a0SHIMMER\u00a0<\/strong>debut in a dark match against New Zealand’s\u00a0Candy Lee<\/strong>\u00a0and has been one of the regular stars with NPU since that same year. Senegal was on a winning streak before Wednesday night’s loss to\u00a0Atticus Cogar<\/strong>, but she’ll be looking to regain her momentum in the midnight hour against IMPACT’s resident magician.<\/p>\n

Tony Deppen vs. Jake Something<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Murdermania<\/a><\/p>\n

Tony Deppen <\/strong>has been one of the gatekeepers of the indies, having been with GCW since 2016, and continues to have big match after big match. But his success isn\u2019t relegated to just GCW rings \u2013 he\u2019s also been a standout with CHIKARA, Beyond Wrestling, ICW No Holds Barred<\/strong>, Violence X Suffering (VxS)<\/strong>, and many more, including debuting with Ring of Honor<\/strong>\u00a0last fall in the\u00a0ROH Pure Tournament<\/em><\/strong>. He\u2019s recently had two incredible ironman matches \u2013 one a two-hour match against\u00a0Jordan Oliver<\/strong>\u00a0at\u00a0GCW Fight Forever<\/em>, plus a 6o minute match against\u00a0Trish Adora<\/strong>\u00a0in Beyond Wrestling. Apart from competing in the 2020\u00a0ROH Pure Tournament<\/em>, he competed in his first\u00a0Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG)<\/strong>\u00a0Battle of Los Angeles<\/strong><\/em> in 2019. His NPU debut this past February was a loss to\u00a0Parrow<\/strong>, so Deppen will be looking to get his first win with the company. But that will have to come at the expense of IMPACT’s\u00a0Jake Something<\/strong>. Jake Something has been a monstrous threat in the U.S. indies for a few years now, where he’s the current Black Label Pro<\/strong> Champion and a former AAW Heritage Champion and Glory Pro Crown of Glory Champion. These are two men who are at the top of their game right now, and this has all the potential to be the MOTN at Murder Mania<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Casanova Valentine vs. Mad Man Pondo<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Casanova<\/a><\/p>\n

Casanova Valentine<\/strong> is one of the top stars in the current American deathmatch scene and a man who has perfected the “no-ring” deathmatch. The inaugural NPU Champion, he’s a veteran of the New York\/New Jersey indie scene, with the likes of New York Wrestling Connection (NYWC)<\/strong>, ICW No Holds Barred, and others. He’s heading into battle against a Deathmatch legend in\u00a0Mad Man Pondo. <\/strong>Mad Man Pondo has been one of pro wrestling\u2019s most violent offenders in the American hardcore scene, debuting in 1989. But he wasn\u2019t always the hardcore legend he was now \u2013 he initially began as a more \u201ctraditional\u201d wrestler. However, it didn\u2019t take long before the Mad Man was unleashed. In 1996, he joined\u00a0IWA Mid South<\/strong>, where his hellacious penchant for violence was fully realized, becoming IWA Mid South Heavyweight Champion in 1999. He continued being a top star with IWA Mid South well into the 2010s. Despite competing in multiple IWA Mid South\u00a0King of the Deathmatch<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0tournaments, beginning with the first one in 1997, it wouldn\u2019t be until 2003 that he would finally win the tournament himself, defeating\u00a0\u201cSpyder\u201d Nate Webb, Nick Gage<\/strong>, and\u00a0JC Bailey<\/strong>\u00a0to win the crown. In 2000, he would make his debut in Japan with\u00a0Big Japan Wrestling (BJW)<\/strong>, where he would compete regularly for the next 14 years, immersing himself in the Japanese deathmatch community as well. This match will put the murder into\u00a0Murder Mania.<\/em><\/p>\n

Orin Veidt & The End (Parrow & Odinson) vs. Colby Corino & The Rejects (John Wayne Murdoch & Reed Bentley)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Murdermania<\/a><\/p>\n

Orin Veidt\u00a0<\/strong>has become a violent sensation over the past few years, working with GCW, Hardcore Hustle Organization (H2O)<\/strong>, ICW NHB, and many other hard-hitting promotions, including working GCW’s tours in Japan. He’s teaming up with one of the roughest tag teams in the US indies, who have also competed in All Japan and recently debuted with the NWA, in The End<\/strong>. Parrow<\/strong> and Odinson<\/strong> are no stranger to playing rough, and Parrow has been working more and more singles deathmatches over the past year. The trio is facing off against The Rejects<\/strong> tandem of John Wayne Murdoch<\/strong> – who has emerged as one of the biggest deathmatch stars of the past two years after years in IWA Mid-South – and Reed Bentley,<\/strong> two men that have individually and collectively won a lot of gold. They were originally a trio that included third Reject AKIRA<\/strong>, but due to a positive Covid test, AKIRA had to withdraw from the week. In his steed stepped in Colby Corino<\/strong>. The son of former ECW World Heavyweight Champion and NWA World\u2019s Heavyweight Champion\u00a0Steve Corino<\/strong>, Colby has been a star in the U.S. indies for over a decade and he\u2019s only 24 years old. He\u2019s a regular with\u00a0Premier Wrestling Federation (PWF)<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Premiere Wrestling Xperience (PWX)<\/strong>\u00a0in the Carolinas, as well as working with everyone from\u00a0EVOLVE Wrestling<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0Freelance Wrestling<\/strong>, as well as appearances for WWE and Ring of Honor.<\/p>\n
