*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*

 

Dru Onyx Prepares to Invade: Britain Braces for Bajan Bomber

 

 

Dru Onyx will be flying to Britain next week to tour Britain with NWA (UK) Hammerlock. The former IWS champion will have a unique opportunity to prove why he is considered one of Canada’s best heavyweights on the world stage. NWA (UK) Hammerlock is Britain’s finest promotion for technical wrestling, and through its ties with the National Wrestling Alliance is part of a proud hundred year tradition of grappling excellence, stretching from current NWA World Champion, A. J. Styles, to the first undisputed World Champion, Karl Gotch, who won in 1908.

 

The six foot two inch, 325 pound Dru Onyx was trained by Quebec wrestling legend Marc "Le Grizzly" Pilon and made his professional wrestling debut, June 12th, 1999. Dru was born in the Barbados, grew up in Chomedey, Laval, Quebec and presently makes his home in the West Island of Montreal. Here in Canada, the Butcher from Barbados wrestles under his real name Dru Onyx, but while wrestling abroad he will be saluting his heritage by wrestling under his family title SoA, the Spirit of Allah.

 

Dru Onyx was in a feisty, combative mood when I sat down to speak to him about his upcoming trip. As Onyx ran his conditioning drills in the IWS training facility, he dismissed the notion that he should be intimidated by his leap to the world stage.

 

“Those chumps at Hammerlock won’t know what hit them. If they only knew how bad it was going to be they would be on the phone right now to Heathrow: ‘Stop the plane from Canada! Send it back! Don’t let it land! The Bajan Bomber is on it! Don’t let that monster off the plane!’ Because once I am off the plane and through customs, it is too late. People are going to get hurt. People are going to suffer.”

 

Dru Onyx is an ambitious man who clearly knows that this is a great career opportunity for him.

 

“You know why they call it a stepping stone? Because I am going to be stepping, and those English punks are going to end up with tomb stones!”

 

Known in Canada as a man who takes the craft of wrestling seriously, Dru Onyx has declared that this trip will be a ‘working vacation’ for him.

 

“See, I don’t wrestle for the money. I don’t wrestle to win. Don’t get me wrong. I hate losing, but I really wrestle because I like making people suffer. So this is perfect for me. I get to visit a new country, see the sights, meet some interesting people... and hurt them. I am going to Jolly Old England, because there are bones for me to break, and women for me to take!”

 

NWA (UK) Hammerlock is know world wide for training excellent technical wrestlers. Onyx reportedly has been brushing up on his grappling technique, but he insists that he is not worried by the reputation of NWA (UK) Hammerlock’s finest.

 

“Yeah, I’ve heard the stories. In Britain, people are born to wrestle, bred to compete and trained to win. So, I’m looking at this as a learning opportunity. I’m going to go toe to toe with the best wrestlers in Britain and I’m going to learn them that if you put the Bajan Bomber in an arm bar, I will rip your arm off and beat you to death with it. You call yourself technically born? You say you were technically bred? You face me, you’ll end up technically dead!”

 

While at press time, Dru Onyx does not know who his opponents in Britain will be, he is unconcerned. He doesn’t feel that he needs to prepare for any one opponent to be ready for him.

 

“Ready for those chumps? I know what I’m going to be facing. I’m going to get in the ring against some short, skinny, snaggle-toothed, knock-kneed, too stupid to come out of the rain, crying for his mama punk who is going to take one look at me and say his prayers while he fills his drawers. Ready for them? They are not ready for me! How do you prepare for 325 pounds of Canadian Mean? How do you get ready to face a man who lives to hurt people?”

 

Normally belligerent, Dru Onyx turns downright hostile when asked to predict his win-loss record while on tour with NWA (UK) Hammerlock.

 

“Let me tell you something. When you get in the ring with Onyx, you had better not be thinking of winning and losing, you had better be concentrating real hard on ways to keep breathing. After a Dru Onyx match, the announcers don’t talk about victors and the vanquished, they announce the survivors and the casualties!”

 

Dru Onyx will be appearing with NWA (UK) Hammerlock on the following dates and at the following locations:

Monday, October 27th, at the Winter Gardens in Margate, Kent;

Tuesday, October 28th, at the Civic Hall in Bedworth, Warwickshire;

Wednesday, October 29th, at the Castle Hall in Hertford, Hertfordshire;

and Friday, October 31st, at the Civic Hall in Grays, Essex.

 

All of us at the Internet Wrestling Syndicate would like to wish Dru Onyx the best of luck on his trip, only we are not entirely certain that he is going to need it. In fact, we would invite him to break a leg, if we were not convinced that he already intends to break a leg - someone else’s leg - during his trip. Instead we would like to wish the best of luck to Dru Onyx’s opponents, or as we call them in Montreal, victims. We hope that they have a lot of luck and bandages, lots and lots of bandages.
