Marcus "SGA" Anthony - OVW Tribute - Ohio Valley Wrestling

http://leoweekly.com/news/learning-ropes

BY ANNE MARSHALL
Three battered men slide off a sky-blue mat like melted butter. Marcus Anthony, a Goliath in red spandex, just body-slammed them like a slugger in batting practice — wham, wham, wham — barely shrugging at their attempts to take him down.

A passionate crowd heaves with rage once a dainty hammer hits the bell, calling the match.

"You Suck!"

"Punk!"

Anthony puffs, flexes. Two sinewy mounds emerge on either side of his neck, creating a near-perfect triangle from the tip of his mohawk to his shoulders.

When Anthony's biceps pop, they're a mirror image of Ohio Valley Wrestling's logo — two curled, golden arms.

OVW is a wrestling promotion company. In 1999, it was tapped to become a kind of minor leagues for World Wrestling Entertainment (then World Wrestling Federation).

OVW moved to Shepherdsville Road, a pocket of the Buechel area sectioned off by working-class neighborhoods, open fields and industrial parks. In a collection of nondescript, toffee-colored warehouses, behind a lighting supply company, lies sacred ground for local wrestling fans.

It's here, underneath the lights of OVW's Davis Arena, where more than 100 WWE wrestlers have gotten their start, including current mega-star John Cena.

Tonight, the smell of popcorn drifts over a momentary lull in action. Giddy children recount each wallop, hurling invisible opponents over rows of aluminum chairs.

Donna Payton leans on her cane and hoists herself out of the front row, walking a few steps to the barricade holding back the crowd of about 60. Donna's sister, Mary, follows.

The middle-aged sisters, both with glasses and loose T-shirts, travel here from Elizabethtown religiously. A few dozen more fall into this category of super-fans — dolled-up teens, dressed-down families, lonely singles, and weekend-warriors who launch into trash talk with, "When I was wrestling ..."

Mary points to her sister.

"She's even had a heart attack here."

Donna nods and gives me a you-better-believe-it look......

WWE have signed this guy to FCW, looks like Big Zeke version 2.0 lol

[DarkMurderer38]

He showed like what, 3 simple wrestling moves in over 2 minutes of video footage? Blah, this guy sucks.

Muscle does not mean you have a shot at getting over. I hope this Puffman gets charisma and mick skills to even getting a chance to get over. In my book you should use your current add ons like the Rock to push these guys over when they leave AGAIN.

@DarkMurderer38 He can do a 450 splash

@Kiro7244 That would be a hell of a tag team.
