South Street Riot were a Tag Team formed in July 2005 in the CWO (Championship Wrestling Organization) by Wulf Erikssen & Dave Vincent. It's current members are Wulf Erikssen & Maurice Pascal, with Dave acting as a manager. This team is currently signed to THW (True Honor Wrestling).
Background[]
In July 2005, Dave Vincent debuted in the CWO as Dagenham Dave. He joined CWO regular, "Bar Room Hero" Wulf Erikssen in forming a new tag tem, the South Street Riot. They were instantly thrown into a rivalry with Gold Kard, who Wulf was currently feuding with. One of their first acts as a team in the fed was to sabotage Gold Kard's "wedding" to Jennifer Falconi, where they invaded the arena with a sewage truck, which they proceeded to spray the guests with. This event also triggered a long term rivalry between the South Street Riot and The Falconis. This new rivalry led to the boys earning their first CWO gold, the World Tag Team Titles, in the August of the same year, defeating the Falconis for the belts.
However, soon after this, Dave received terrible news. His grandfather, Danny, was terminally ill. Torn between his love for his family, and his love for his job, he requested a leave of absence from the CWO, which was granted. Both he and Wulf left for Britain. Unfortunately, Danny passed away on Boxing Day, 2005.
February 2006, Wulf and Dave returned in a shocking fashion when they controversially saved one of their old enemies, Brent Alles, from President Foley's lackeys. Joined later in the month by Surge, these four men formed the "Enemies Of The State", a stable dedicated to disrupting President Foley's reign as CWO President. During this stint, the South Street Riot won the International Tag Team Titles.
In July '06, Dave was sensationally revealed as being the traitor with the "Enemies Of The State", and turned heel, joining President Foley's "The Future" stable as "Corporate Hero" David Vincent. The character proved unpopular, and in September of that year, David again asked for a leave of absence, this time to conduct a tour of Japan, and to give the fans time to forget the "Corporate Hero" persona. The company agreed, allowing Wulf the time off the accompany him.
May 2007, both men reappeared at the May-Hem PPV, revealing themselves as the true identities of the masked wrestlers "The Union Jacks". Both men quickly entered the Tag Team title race, strangely allying with their former rivals the Falconis to fight the more pressing threats from the Hell Risers and the Fighter Jets. This culminated at the Inferno PPV, where the South Street Riot won the CWO World Tag Team Championship in a 20-Minute Four-Way Tornado Tag Iron Team Match.
In September 2007, South Street Riot suffered two calamities, as first they lost their Tag Titles to Bad Weather, but also Dave was dealt a career ending knee injury. Angered by his partners crippling, Wulf is hitting out at the rest of the CWO, more angry than he's ever been. Dave's future is currently undecided. The CWO collapsed shortly after this incident, and both men took time off from the industry.
In July 2009, at THW Honor Role, the South Street Riot returned. Dave, still battling with his career-ending injury, now managed the team, consisting of Wulf and a new partner, newcomer Maurice Pascal. Wulf had been signed to the promotion for some months previous, and debuted his protege, Maurice, at this event. They were successful in their debut, defeating the team of Jay Combs & Kylie Moore.
