Full Force Pro - Magazine Issue # 2 - May '09

Welcome to Full Force Pro - The Magazine!

Tribute to Daniel Matthews
1981-2009

Daniel Matthews was an original in Full Force Pro. He went on to form one of the FFP's most memorable stables, the Soul Assassins. Bringing in his trainees, Patrick McCoy and Veronica Clyne in for his feud against Christopher Morgan. Veronica has went on to become quite the superstar here in FFP, and thanks Daniel for all of his time training her.

Matthews went on to become the first ever Full Force Pro World Champion, defeating Blood Reign and Tyler Blood in a 3-Way Dance. He ended up losing the title to Christopher Morgan, and never got a fair chance to get it back during FFP's first run.

But when FFP was reborn, Daniel came back, and in his first match back, defeated Christopher Morgan in a Ladder Match to once again be FFP World Champion. Then, on April 22, Daniel was found dead in his new home in Detroit, Michigan.

Matthews was a great wrestler, and a great person. He will be missed so much, and already is by so many of the FFP superstars and staff backstage, as well as the millions of fans that he touched, with his dedication, hard work, and persistence.

Rest in Peace, Daniel Matthews.

Interview with FFP United States Champion, Hunter Brown

Courtney Storm: Hunter Brown, thank you for sitting down with me. First off, how do you feel about your career here in FFP?

Hunter Brown: Well, it's been good. Currently, I'm the reigning United States Champion, and even though Madison just lost her Television Title to Devon Thomas, she'll get it back. She's a bad ass, and he won't be able to stop her from getting back what she wants.

Courtney Storm: Speaking of you being the US Champion...at Guilty Pleasures, you're going to be defending that title against Genocide. How do you think you'll do?

Hunter Brown: I'll do just fine. Genocide is good. He's proven that by outlasting Caleb McCarthy and Van Morrison. But does he have what it takes to beat Hunter Brown? Absolutely not. He doesn't! And this Wednesday night at Warfare, Madison and I will give him and his little girl Vanity a preview, by kicking their asses all over Boston!

Courtney Storm: Do you think that Vanity will play a part in your title defense at the pay-per-view?

Hunter Brown: Well, I'll have Youth Gone Wild in my corner. And trust me when I say, that little girl doesn't have anything on my stable.

Courtney Storm: Speaking of Youth Gone Wild, what are your plans with your stable?

Hunter Brown: Pure dominance. There are so many in this federation that think that they are dominating. But look at the talent. Hunter Brown, Madison Skye, and Samantha Fox. Three of the greatest in FFP. I'm a future World Champion. Madison is going to get her title back, and Samantha Fox will wind up with the Diamond Title. Trust me, we'll dominate. And keep your eyes open, because it's only a matter of time before we announce our newest member.

Courtney Storm: Well, we will definitely make sure to keep watch Hunter. Thank you for your time.

Hunter Brown: The pleasure was all yours.

Diamonds in the Rough
by: Brianna Tyler

FFP Diamonds is the name given to the female part of the FFP roster. Even though these Women are beautiful they are also strong, athletic and competitive. The females of Full Force Pro are also not afraid to mix it up with the male contingent of the roster as the girls have proved over the last few months of the women’s division coming into full force.

A lot of people from different federation's state that women shouldn't wrestle, but time and time again the women in this corporation known as FFP have shown just why those people who have said that women should get out of wrestling exactly why they are in this profession. The most beautiful women on television are not in the sport as eye candy, they are in it for competition.

So let’s take a look at the Women on this roster and see what they have to say, I was lucky enough to get a chance to talk to each of the girls one to one to gain an insight into these fascinating women who come from all walks of life

Before getting in the ring Brandi Moore was a model, but she would shrug off the dumb model image any day and she made her debut with FFP and has fast risen to the top, she has a head for business and her eye on the prize: “I actually made my debut here in FFP as a manager for Logan Christopher. Logan ended up being a loser, and I dumped his ass for Caleb Newstead. Newstead was one of the best the FFP had to offer. He's a future Hall of Famer here. I have tried to talk him into coming back. I've actually done quite well for myself here! I know I'll get into that Hall of Fame that Matt Kraven is talking about. I'm the Commissioner; I was the Women's Champ, the Diamond Champ, part of the Women's Tag Champs, and currently a Tag Team Champion”
She knows what the fans want and proudly claims: “I think most people that have problems with girls in the ring, are the guys that are insecure, and know that we can take the spotlight from them. For example, look at me! Every night that I go out there, the fans would rather see me, than Daniel Matthews, Caleb McCarthy, or Devon Thomas.”
And in typical Brandi style she has no worry about stating her views: “The Diamonds aren't like the Divas. They aren't like the Knockouts. The Diamonds are bigger and badder. And although I may have lost my Diamond Title to Veronica, I still say that I lead the group, because of my hot ass body, and my kick ass abilities! FFP is going to just get bigger and bigger, and a lot of that, is because of the Diamonds!”

Courtney Bell grew up around wrestling, her father being a wrestler then later starting his own school and company back in London, she always knew she was destined o be in the ring: “It’s in my blood. My dad used to wrestle; he opened his own company when I was younger. Both my brother and I trained in all sorts of actives as kids, while training to step into the ring I also trained as a ref which got me involved in matches then I soon started wrestling matches” She packed her suitcase and headed out across the pond to see what she could achieve in America: “I ended up in ECFW, I met Dita there and I spent a lot of time in low card matches and I worked some matches as a ref, I also got some great tips fro Kitten Charrington. She was a hell of a wrestler, she’s retired now but I’ve never seen anyone move like her in the ring, she pushed all the ECFW girls to the limit and taught me how to get myself up to a really high standard and believe in myself”
While she could have taken the easy route and just worked for her father Courtney wanted the challenge of working somewhere else even if it was met with a few negative views: “My family knew that it was very likely I would be a wrestler. The only problem with my career choice is I’m not working for my father… But I wanted to find other places to work. My husband isn’t exactly a fan but that won’t be a problem for much longer!”
Within her first month with FFP She has already made her mark: “I can’t believe I’ve already been a champion… It’s crazy, and I have the honer of being on the staff, Working for Matt I get the chance to suggest matches and try to make the fans happy by listening to them and giving them something they want to see”

Growing up with a love of wrestling Veronica Cline knew she was destined to be I the ring: “I knew it was something I wanted to do. Seeing those older wrestlers in the 80's, was so awesome. It was bigger than life. From about the age of 5, I wanted to be a wrestler. And I never really pictured myself becoming a women's champion, although I always wanted to wrestle against Sensational Sherri.”
With a great teacher she focused and paid attention to every lesson taught: “I trained with Daniel Matthews, the FFP World Champion. Like I said, I had always wanted to be a wrestler, but didn't get to get into training until years later. I trained with Daniel, and also with FFP original Patrick McCoy.” And it has paid off; Veronica is the Diamond Champion and has plans to keep hold of that title for a long time Like a lot of girls she has met with criticism in the ring but will go out of her way to shine: “Oh yeah, I'm sure we've all gotten that. But we prove them wrong all the time. I may not like Brandi, but her and I are proof that we can do it just as well as the boys. Our ladder match at All Torn Up was incredible. And that bitch busted me open”
Veronica admits her family worry about her but she will keep doing what she loves “When I got hurt, my parents were really scared for me. My dad tried to talk me out of wrestling anymore, but I stuck with it. My parents were also pretty scared after Matt Kraven superkicked me a few weeks ago. But I finally came back and took that title that I've worked so long and hard for” and she is a great supporter of those girls around her: “The Diamond Division is definitely on the rise. Keep an eye on us, because we will outshine anyone you put in front of us!”

Madison Skye might be a tattoo artist who started as a manager but she stepped out of Hunters shadow and has found her place in the ring: “Honestly, I planned on only being a manager, but I think I've surpassed what I would have expected - even in my wildest dreams. Television Champion. Never would have thought I'd be called that. It's amazing. Other plans are maybe Hunter and myself winning the Tag Titles. And of course, Hunter becoming World Champion.”
The redheaded firecracker may have faced negative comments but she will go out of her way to make sure everyone sits up and pays attention: “The typical stuff, like how girls don't belong...but I think for the most part, I've really showed everyone that girls can go in there and whoop some ass too. Look at me, I won the Television Title. And the final two fighting for it were women!”
Madison notes that she’s not the “normal pretty girl look” but she’s proud to stand out from the crowd and notes the Diamonds don all follow the crowd: “Look at me. I'm obviously not into the whole tits and ass thing. But there are girls like that. The Diamonds however, don't seem to be as much into that, with girls like me, Veronica, Dita, Lexi, and of course, Psychotica. I think that the Diamonds here aren't your typical bunch of girls with blonde hair and big fake boobs. We're here to compete. And if you want to see girls going at it 100%, putting everything on the line, just keep your eyes on myself and Psychotica. We are bound to lock horns again, and when we do, it's going to be brutal”

When Dita Morgan ran away at 15 while on holiday in Ibiza she got more than she barged for “I worked in clubs, I was a dealer and drug runner, then I became a manager for a guy who I worked in the club for, things with him got too much… I left for America and didn’t look back”
Dita Morgan gained fame as a tabloid princess which distracted form her ring career but she wants to change that view: “ I made a lot of mistakes in my past… I was always labeled the party girl… People say, 'Oh, she goes out and she parties'. No, we are just going out and having fun… But sometimes I guess it’s too much fun… I don't care what they're trying to say and I don't care what they're trying to do, they can write about the life and when they do it's all a bunch of lies! I’ve put up with that for so long now it is just a part of every day now… With me it's all fine until I see a cover with a line that crossed mine; it’s just a misconception of me, an imitation of what the writers think that I am… Everything I do or say is always taken in the wrong way”
She knows this has caused her set backs but she is determined to make everything right: “I did my time… Cirque Lodge, a drug rehab, alcohol and addiction treatment center in Sundance, Utah… I was there for 45 days, I’m clean and sober now, on probation and I’ve done community service. I’m rebuilding my life now and I want to prove I can work hard… And stick to my goals.” But she knows it won’t be easy: “Yeah, it will be a lot of work to make it in America and FFP, but you know you can't expect for things to just happen without working. I left school when I was 15, and I've been working on this pretty much ever since. And it took me seven years to get where I am and it wasn't easy, you know. Well, it wasn't that hard either but.. it was.. yeah. It wasn't easy-peazy, but I will make it here, I will prove to everyone I can work hard and put my troubles behind me! I’m doing this for me, I haven’t seen my family in years so I’m doing everything for myself!”

Bad girl Samantha Fox might have hidden her love of wrestling growing up but she made sure before she stepped into the ring she was taught by the best: “I actually was a graduate of the infamous Hart House aka "The Dungeon" in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Believe me when I tell you this: The "Dungeon" really owns to its name--the staff there takes you to the full potential. Graduation day was one of the greatest moments of my life--next to my sweet sixteen, my first license and my twenty-first birthday, of course! I started down the path of the independent circuit after that” She is one who won’t shy away from controversy and is proud to be a women in the ring: “I think there's always going to be some controversy regarding gender inequality not just in wrestling, but in any occupation. Men who want to be nurses are frowned upon by their peers and women who wants to enter construction, for example, are usually met with skepticism by the opposite sex. As far as me being in the ring, yeah, I've heard the hecklers and there isn't a day where I can rest peacefully without someone mentioning that wrestling isn't something women should do. Either we're not tough enough, or we should do something more in line with our femininity like being a secretary or something like that. As far as perceptions go, we're not seen for our talent, but as sex objects; it's almost nerving. Like I always say, I want to prove to everyone that I'm more than just a pretty face; I can wrestle just as good as the men.”
Samantha knows she has talent and isn’t shy expressing that: “Men bow down, ladies back up, and divas step aside...the Halifax Hellcat has arrived! To all the Diamonds in Full Force Pro, I hope you gals' are ready because the future is here and there's no challenge I won't undertake and no opponent I won't face in order to become the greatest acquisition this company has ever seen. To the guys, I may not be the biggest or the strongest, but I'm pretty fast, and speed trumps them both any day of the week. Just don't be surprised if you happen to lose to me--it's only because you weren't expecting it.”

Lexi Dionysus she’s the sparkle in everything and new early on she wanted to be in the ring: “When I saw how crazy colorful people could be! My favorites were Doink the Clown, yanno, the scary evil version... and Goldust! They were sooo NEAT~!”
While she may be hyperactive and not need that coffee in the morning to wake her up but she uses her unique style and stepped into the ring: “Looked like a really neat-o way to uh.. Release the energy butterflies! I've been told I have enough energy to power Tokyo and Manhattan until the earth 'asplodes. Plus, it's like an aggressive dance! And I like dancing”
The dancing diamond had no problems convincing her family she should be stepping in the ring: “-Laughs- My older sister an' my big brother are wrestlers too! My sissy's actually about to be in a World Title match, and my brother just got taken out due to injury. =( But they both are really supportive of me getting in the ring too. I dunno what my mom or dad think of it. I haven't seen either of them in years..” Her view on the idea of female wrestlers being nothing more than T&A is clear: “I think it's gross. I know women have an aspect to them in this world that I don't fully understand...but I think that a girl can be a wrestler, and be pretty without be'in a...a..tramp. I think it's a load of..of JUNK! I still get called a ...um...really bad names, cuz I'm a girl who wrestles. People seem to think that I sleep with a lot o' dudes! But I don't. I don't wanna die! I think they just need to open their eyes and realize women can handle themselves perfectly well. If it came between my sister an' any of the dudes in UFC/MMA....I' pick my sissy hands down. She's...vicious.”
She also has a few words to say to the roster and the loyal FFP fans: “Love, peace, and respect, ladies and gents! And never forget your towel. Bad things happen if you forget your towel!”
And her plans for FFP?: “Spread the good cheer, and rise to the top of the flower patch”

The final Diamond I spoke to was a tricky one, I knew it would be hard to talk to Psychotica and she lived up to the reputation, It’s clear from the start she doesn’t want to do the interview and doesn’t make this easy. It’s clear she is used to being on her own without family support: “Family? My family disowned me the minute I stepped into the squared circle. Friends? I have a few and they support me in general not condone what I actually do. As I am out of control in my ring. Yes, I said my ring did I stutter? You know I am starting to get a little annoyed at this stupid game but Rena tells me I have to do this for the fans. Screw the fans!! I am not gonna do a damn thing for them but I will finish this PR crap. So continue on.” When asked about peoples negative views on women in the ring I’m met with a sigh and bored look: “Have I had problem being a girl in this business? No, but being a woman I sure the hell have and I can't stand those...a@@^&*es that say I could never make it. Look at me now? I am in the big leagues and you are where? As far as my view on women in the business? If they can take it then they belong here but if they can't then get the f out! That's my view.”
But as we move on to talk about her big break the look in her eyes changes to one of pride: “My first big break was in a federation known as Hardcore Heaven Extreme. I joined knowing what to except but not really. I had never fought a guy and they gave me a match against The Brutalizer. This man was insane and loved to hurt people. I was a little thrown off by him but... I then cleared my head and just went out there and fought him for forty-five minutes in a losing effort but I gained his respect as I refused to stay down or even submit. The match was stopped and I still walked away. Limping but I walked out bloody, battered, and bruised but with a whole lota respect for him and from him along with the fans.” After flipping the interview table Psychotica only has this to say: “Yeah, one last thing. If you think you have seen me at my best or worst? You haven't seen anything yet and remember I am heaven sent that's Heaven sent. FFP your days are numbered.”

So there you have it, an insight into the very different women, the Diamonds of FFP and as this goes to print the roster will have added new girls to the ranks. Whatever is said about these women it’s clear to see they are all determined to make a name for themselves and inspire a whole new generation of female wrestlers. These girls are on the rise, these Diamonds know what they want and they will get it!
