UWE Facing PETA Boycott

 

Ultimate Wrestling Entertainment is closing in on its first pay-per-view since the company’s return to the spotlight. A successful showing would go a long way to putting the wrestling company, once the industry leader, back on track towards the number one spot again.

 

There is opposition to the event, however. Most notably directed at the highly publicised match between Wulf Erikson and James Calhoun, which will feature a python suspended above the ring.

 

The match has caught the eye and ire of PETA.

 
Jeff Scott, senior vice president of public relations for the animal rights group, had this to say:

 

“Sports in general have a long history of exploiting animals for entertainment puposes. The so called ‘ultimate’ Wrestling Entertainment continues this tradition by hanging a live snake dangerously above the ring. If the people at UWE will not call this match off then we at PETA are calling on animal lovers everywhere to boycott this show.”

 

Recently named general manager, Lara Pegorino, could not be reached for comment. Lise Fortier, however, indicated that she has every intent to continue with the match as planned.

Battle Royal!

Straight from the top, this announcement comes from a dual effort of Lise Fortier and Lara Pegorino. Exclusively for UWELegacy.ca!

At Genesis, the event will begin with the crowning of the first UWE Canadian Champion! An open invitational over the top style battle royal will be held to kick off the pay-per-view. The only exclusions will be Ronnie Cage and Asylum due to their Ultimate Wrestling Championship contest.

Come one. Come all. Who might we see pop out of the woodwork? Ricky Darlington could give it a shot! Angela Icke could return to the ring! Even Mike Manning could sneak the victory!

On April 16, 2017, Ultimate Wrestling Entertainment will truly be reborn.

Order Genesis on pay-per-view!

Join the revival.

Commit to the legacy.

 

Hollywood has a long love affair with celebrities who have overcome addictions to return to the spotlight. Robert Downey Jr. is living proof of that. Now, as the documentary detailing the return of James Calhoun to wrestling nears completion, the so called Callous One might be heading to a big screen roll as well.

 

According to Hollywood Insiders, Calhoun’s agent has been in talks with Warner Brothers, who is preparing to reboot the Mortal Kombat film franchise. If the rumors are to be believed, Calhoun might be in contention to play gunslinger Erron Black in the new film.

 

This is all still in the very early stages and a viral video of James Calhoun’s agent Alison Everett punching her client in the face may put a damper on such negotiations. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available!
