The Megafreak - (Inducted 1999)

From a Lost Island in the Pacific

On March 23, 1999 BACW was just starting out and was billed as an uncensored federation. With little or no regard for taste, religion, or sympathy, wrestlers from all around the world flocked to get a glimpse of its risky nature.

Within this flock of rookies, was a seasoned veteran who took the time out of his day to raise the bar in the ring. His name was Edgar Morbis and he controlled a man/monster named The Megafreak. The father of this damned freak of nature was a skinny deranged man who's ringmaster's outfit mimicked something out of a bizarre twilight zone novel. The dynamic was simply, Morbis was the brains, while his over 400 pound drone was the brawn. In the ring, there wasn't anyone who was even close to his strength. Outside the ring, his intellectual power overwhelmed. The Megafreak had little wrestling ability but his power was unmatched. Punches and kicks had little or no effect on this mammoth individual and at our very first pay per view entitled "The Grinder", he dominated the first blood battle royal. When it was all said and done, The Megafreak was crowned our first world heavyweight champion. After winning the title, Morbis was quick to take the claim of champion overshadowing the hard work of the child-like drone, but then again, we aren't really sure if the Megafreak was even aware of what was going on. Some think his only purpose in life was to protect his father figure. Get in Edgar's way, and you would face the wrath of his bastard child.

Although The Megafreak lost the title the following month in a historic “Burnt to a Crisp” match, it was the drama of that match which turned this independent federation into an over night success. But it wouldn't be until September 2, 1999 that Morbis and his Freak would taste the world title gold again. After ripping people up on the circuit like Darrel Besolve, Big Dawg, and the rest of the BACW roster, The Megafreak had finally defeated a red hot Michael “Snake Eyes” Cavenaugh for the world title ending Cavenaugh brief one month reign. Cavenaugh was devastated and as his troubles grew with Mr. Batee, The Megafreaks's time in the BACW was coming to an end too.

With tensions high in the air, Karl Fletcher would be the next person to unseat the Freak and by this time, Edgar Morbis was sidelined with a serious injury. Without someone to guide the Freak through the ranks of the ever growing BACW, The Megafreak disappeared without a trace. Some say, Mr. Batee is still in contact with this legendary monster and will one day bring him back to WeWA in an apocalyptic return that just may destroy either the Monster or Mr. Batee himself.

The Megafreak & Morbis were years ahead of their time but stayed in the BACW because they were needed. Once the promotion took off, it's funny how they both disappeared but as we sit here today thinking about how the Freak's legendary status came to pass, it was the wrestlers who truly made his performances spectacular. Morbis pulled together the federation like a magnet to steel and to this day, we all still feel a sense of his legacy lingering throughout our great halls. Cheers Freaky, one day will we meet again, but until then, we will honor your sacrifices here respecting the time spent in our ring.

HAVOK - (Inducted 1999)

Manager: Senior Cactus, Homeless Bob, Liz
From: Atlanta, Ga.

Weighing in at 298 pounds, this 6'7" hard-core nightmare was named HAVOK and there was a good reason why. He was one of the only superstars to dominate the ring with an extreme flare never again duplicated. In fact, Havok was the only major superstar to leave BACW without ever claiming the world heavyweight champion. Throughout his career, Havok’s feuding with Mr. Batee and stubborn way of life made him an outcast, someone who Batee just kept tabs on. One day Havok was talking to a cactus, the next he was bring homeless people into his interviews. Constantly breaking into Mr. Batee's home on a monthly basis, it was apparent the BACW couldn't control the hard-core nut.

Like The Megafreak, Havok won his world hard-core championship at The Grinder in 1999 and never looked back. From March 29, 1999 until July 1, 1999, Havok simply beat people up in the most violent fashion he could think of. Havok was the BACW's poster child and a symbol of hard-core wrestling. Combined with his Hannible Lector like thinking, the youngsters of the BACW were easy pickings for his sophisticated style of wrestling. Beating people to a pulp was his job, and while here, Havok claimed the names of Jeremy Knyte, JP Havic, Mike Johnson, Jack Kraven, and even Edgar Morbis. When people faced Havok, it was a blood bath that usually ended up with Havok getting the upper hand. Some even say it was the beating Havok gave Morbis that lead to the exit of the Megafreak.

Then July 1, 1999 the unthinkable happened. Mr. Batee, who was fed up with Havok's domination of the wrestling scene and constant abuse of the WeWA Executives, finally answered Havok's challenge for a match. Mr. Batee was retired for a long time, but couldn't take Havok's bad mouthing him any further. Havok was delighted but something happened during the week leading up to that match that would change the BACW as a whole for a very long time. Mr. Batee took the life, and steam from Havok's sails defeating him clean 123. Havok's cold heart was torn out and his motivation to compete in the BACW nullified. Mr. Batee had crushed Havok's spirit grinding his pride into the mat with a dazzling performance showing the rest of the federation that the owner was not just an owner, but very capable of wrestling too. When the battle was over, it was clear to everyone. Mr. Batee, was a better wrestler, and Havok would have to live with that for the rest of his life.

In a series of back room arguments, Havok eventually left the BACW disgruntled and bitter. Havok left, but when he did, the hard-core lunatic took a small piece of the BACW's heart with him. Mr. Batee was quick to think about the other wrestlers in his arsenal and digging into his bag of talent, Michael “Snake Eyes” Cavenaugh was reborn.

Havok was entered into the BACW of his own free will and when you looked through all the bullshit and smoke, it was his hard work and unique interviews that brought credibility to the BACW giving the younger rookies a champion to be proud of. Havok was a leader who wrestled on his own terms and because of this, the executives here in WeWA admired his will to win. Havok never won another title in BACW, but to hold a belt for four months without a loss is something only a few wrestlers can be proud of. Havok did return to WeWA for a brief stint but left within a month after a series of losses and lack luster performances. BACW had grown up and Havok wasn’t prepared. Havok, we dedicated this space for you because you simply deserve it!
