Alamo Pro

Alamo Pro
In the fall of 2002, cult hero, Tyrant Slim, had a falling out with Wrestling from Texas owner, Tex McCullaugh, and was kicked out of the federation. Looking for revenge, the nomadic Slim, decided to play off his local fanbase, and form his own wrestling federation. An independent based out of East Texas, Alamo Pro never stood a chance. Slim has no head for business, a self-destructive attitude, and questionable reputation... he hired similarly blacklisted friends, and frequently didn't pay off venues, and had to improvise. The federation lasted two years before Slim sold it too the first big fed willing to give him a world title. Still, in those two years, AP managed to capture the minds of Texas fans, while setting the indy world on fire. Best known now for its surreal booking, violent fights, and memorable feud with BIG CLASH as cross-promotion with the IWA Hyper Fights, at the height of its success, Alamo Pro managed to get 30,000 fans in the Astrodome.

Remember
Alamo Pro's first Pay Per View featured heavy support from the IWA Hyper Fights organization. Having a running feud with the national federation BIG CLASH, as part of a working agreement with IWA, BIG CLASH sent one of its stars, Splatterizer to the event. Despite being a midcard talent in his own federation, Splatterizer was given top billing main eventing as an outside monster, taking on the equally scary Chief John Razorback in a Texas Death match. Given the BIG CLASH ties, this actually drew in respectable numbers, which were horrified when, after winning, Chief John Razorback SCALPED Splatterizer. Taking a lot of skin with the hair, all with sadistic glee, this was interpreted as both amoral and slightly racist, and cost Alamo Pro its PPV deal. In the top of the card, LOADED defended his sherif badge against Paco. The Long Horn Devil made his debut destorying Texas Vet, "Tumbleweed" Bill Stokes. Tyrant Slim surprisingly started the show with Rio Grange, in a match that quickly went to a count out. Cameras followed the two men brawling throughout the card, in a bloody brawl, that was supposed to set-up the main event to the next PPV... if only they hadn't been cancelled.

Revolution Road
Thanks to publicity from the IWA Hyper Fights, Alamo Pro landed a closed circuit television deal for their second would-be "PPV."

The Stars At Night II
Still running strong on the IWA heat, the main event of this show paid off Hyper Fights 23, in which Alamo champ LOADED was going to team up with rival TYRANT Slim to take on his arch-enemies the AWE-I super heel team of the Outcasts. Sadly the Outcasts violently beat LOADED, and while defeated by Slim in the main event, revenge was called for. Drawing a gate of 20,000 people to the Sun Dome, it was Alamo Pro's biggest show to date, with Fans clamouring to see LOADED team up with TYRANT Slim to murder the Outcasts. They did. Long Horn Devil defended the Sheriff badge against "Tumbleweed" Bill Stokes.

The Stars At Night III
TYRANT Slim, Chief John Razorback, and "Tumbleweed" Bill Stokes defeated "Genocide" Jack Barton, Splatterizer, and MetalDragon in a Texas Death match. Despite the epic feud of Slim and Barton, the main focus of the advertising came from Razorback being put in the ring with Splatterizer a second time. During the match, Razorback and Splatterizer brawled throughout the crowd... Slim got the pin on Barton, as Razorback came into the ring. Razorback tried to scalp BIG CRASH's world champion, Barton, but TYRANT Slim stopped him... the former friends got into a violent brawl, which ended with Razorback scalping Slim instead! A subsequent riot got the promotion banned from the Sun Dome, despite the improved gate of 24,000. LOADED defended his Alamo Pro title against Six Shooter, while Long Horn Devil retained his Sheriff Badge against Paco.

Dancing In the Wind
The two former friends, and Texas Legends, battled it out infront of over 30,000 people at the Astrodome in a LYNCHING match. The recently scalped TYRANT Slim came out on top, defeating Chief John Razorback. "Tumbleweed" Bill Stokes defeated Long Horn Devil to win the Sheriff Badge. Guest star, Brian Calypso defended the IWA Hyper Fight title against Rio Grange, winning with the Star Buster. After the event, TYRANT Slim riding high on the success, sold the rising company to the IWA, for promises of a contract with the larger federation.
