The Wrestler of the Month for March is none other than former TNA X Division champion “Maple Leaf Muscle” Petey Williams. Upon the news of PPW most historic acquisition from pro wrestling’s proverbial free agent list, Williams immediately sought out PPW officials to become an official entry in this year’s Elite 8 Tournament. The rest is history.
Petey Williams defeated “the Man of Value” Jeff Brookes, “Grizzly” House Jones, 2009 Elite 8 Winner REV. Christopher Saint, and breakout star Ty Darious to become the 2010 Elite 8 champion thus cementing his spot at RESTROSLAM 2 where he’ll face off against the longest reigning Franchise Champion in PPW history, “the Franchise Player” Chris Korvis. Money, fame, glory, and the coveted Pure Pro Wrestling Franchise Championship will all be on the line as these two megastars collide for the most anticipated matchup that Pure Pro Wrestling has ever seen.
Upon being notified that Williams had been selected to be Wrestler of the Month, PPW’s Matt Burns caught up with the new number one contender and he had this to say.
“It’s a real honor to be selected as the Wrestler of the month for March. There’s a lot of great talent in this locker room and for me to be selected right out the gate is a testament to just how difficult it is to win the Elite 8. I’m just excited to be here competing with world class athletes and I look forward to seeing if the hype about Korvis is true. Like I’ve stated in the past, I’ve seen the highlight reels, watched the game footage, and I’m aware of what a man like Korvis is capable of in and even outside of the ring. But I will say this, Korvis has never went toe to toe with the Definition of Definition. Chris Korvis has never felt the effect of the Canadian Destroyer. Chris Korvis has never faced the caliber of talent that I am. Korvis if you’re paying attention I’ve got a message from you. You can run your mouth all you want, but when I hook up the Canadian Destroyer on you the only words coming out of your mouth are going to be “help me.” Korvis on Friday, March 26 I’m coming for you and that belt. I’m coming to prove to the PPW fans that there is no hype about Petey Williams. Fans are going to see that Petey Williams is the truth. And when the dust settles and it’s all said and done I will have my hand raised in victory and I will be the new Franchise Champion. It’s not a prediction, it’s not even wishful thinking; it’s a cold, hard fact. Chris Korvis I’m a heat seeking missile of pain and I’m coming for you!”
