Southern Underground Pro “True Believers”
10/24/21 - Nashville, TN
Now Available on IWTV.live
SUP makes their grand return The Basement East with fans at ringside! Righteous Jesse is your announcer. The crowd gives him and SUP a good “Welcome Back”. Between a tornado and the pandemic, they haven’t been able to run in their home venue since 2019. Jesse is emotional in the moment but it’s well deserved as he announces that after the next SUP show, he’ll be leaving wrestling for a time to pursue other endeavors. Good luck, Jesse! He thanks the True Believers in the crowd that have been with them from the start. But now it’s time for violence. Dylan Hales & Johnny Mosely are on commentary. LETS GOOOOOOO!
Kevin Ku is out with the SUP tag belts. He acknowledges that his partner Dominic Garrini hasn’t been around for a while. This prompts the Lost Boys to make their presence felt. They wish they’d been announced for the show and felt they earned a tag title shot after their performances at the SUP studio shows a few months back. They jaw with Ku and attack him, prompting Dominic Garrini to run in and chase them off. He says he’s making his return to the ring just to shut the Lost Boys up. And that’s your main event tonight!
Suplex Science make their entrance and make sure Ku & Dom KNOW that they are looking for their chance at the belts too.
