Charlie Velez

Charlie Velez is a former superstar of the Xtreme Hardcore Federation. He was not only known for his great in ring ability, but also his wide range of promos. Charlie would often cut promos that included his wife and the struggles that a young superstar has to deal with from being a 20 something married wrestler trying to balance out not only his marriage, his career, but also his young life.

The Begining: BDDWF
Charlie Velez joined the BDDWF with his young brother, Ryan Velez, in the September of 2001. Both were very young when they joined the BDDWF, Charlie being the oldest at the age of 18 years old. Charlie and Ryan would go under the name "The Real Deal", proclaiming that even at a young age, they were the "real deal" in tag team wrestling. The Real Deal would have some mild success before entering a feud with their exact other of The Dark Parade (which also consisted of a set of two brothers).

The Dark Parade would go on to defeat The Real Deal at one of the first BDDWF pay per views in a Hardcore Match, with the Dark Parade both sending Charlie through a glass table. This only marked the begining of the war between the two, as they would again be pitted against each other as the war between the BDDWF and the XHF would just begin.

On February 25th, 2002 the two teams would face off in a tag team ladder match for the XHF Tag Team Championship. In a match that would be earth shaking at the time The Dark Parade once again got the upper hand on The Real Deal, climbing to the top and grabbing the championship belts. Even though they lost, this marked a new begining for The Real Deal as they were given a new bit of respect from the crowd.

Under XHF Control
Because of the results of the main event of the Xtraction main event, the BDDWF was now owned by the XHF; thus making Charlie and his brother XHF Superstars. The Real Deal would continue to support the now dead BDDWF and fight against the XHF, as they would go on to face Rhein and Slain, the most dominate tag team and the "BDDWF" Tag Team Champions.

Things wouldn't be easy for them though, as they still continued their war against The Dark Parade, as well as Rhein and Slain having XHF owner, Mongo the Destroyer, on their side. Mongo would put the Real Deal in a "BDDWF" Tag Team championship match, but only if they were able to defeat two other teams before facing the champions. The Real Deal would go on to defeat Shock and Lance Storm and then Weirdo and The Warrior to go on and face Rhein and Slain later that night.

Rhein and Slain would not come to the ring alone though, as they were followed by their posse of Jazmine St. Claire and The ICP and when the opportunity arose and the referee was down, they would all come to the ring and beat on the Real Deal.

That day though The Real Deal not only had friends in the right places, but Slain and Rhein had enemies at the wrong time. As The Real Deal was being beat down, Destruction, Hanz, Tourtous Tom and Chris Benoit all came to the ring to help them, and with the sides even, The Real Deal would go on to win the "BDDWF" Tag Team Championship.

Their feud with The Dark Parade did not end though, when at the first Night of Champions they would face not only them, but Weirdo and The Warrior in the XHF's first Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match for not only The Real Deal's "BDDWF" Tag Team Championship, but also The Dark Parade's XHF Tag Team Championship. The Dark Parade would once again become victorious, leaving the Real Deal with not much left to do.
