This thing reminds me of that terrible promotion that signed wrestlers to contracts, promised a bunch of industry changing benefits and never ran a single show.

“I’ve always prided myself on having the balls to say what I feel is right and wrong about the wrestling business. What comes out of my mouth is the gospel truth. And the business is full of chicken shits and cowards. H2 was created so no one could censor Ted Hart. Due to my comments on the internet radio show, I’ve been censored. Public notice yestyerday that Ted Hart has lost his position in H2 and for all you internet loving retards, Ted Hart is H2 and because all you ungreatful mother fuckers thought you were so smart. How smart are you now? H2 is over! You cannot demote Vince McMahon. You’re not going to demote Ted Hart. All I tried to do is give you another show and entertainment. But, you poo poo on me, so now I am making GBS threads on you. Now H2 is demoted to MLW status. And tell the world that my special guest will be accompaning me to the ring whether or not the world like it. Do any of you smarks remember the word “Matrats”? Check tomorrow. There will be no more H2.”

On June 26, 2004 for the first main event in the history of H2 Pro-Wrestling, two of the people's greatest will wrestle to determine who the best truly is. The grounds for this battle will be a one-on-one best of three match series where the winner will be the next in a long line of Opera Cup championship winners, which includes: Jim Londos (1933 winner), Ed Don George (1935 winner), George Lurich (1915 winner), Stu Hart, and many others. The second match of a possible three match series will occur July 31st back at the Roxy in Boston, MA.

In addition to winning the Opera Cup, the winner will receive a check for $2,500 (USD) and ranked the number one seed for the heavyweight championship tournament held later this year.

The competitors for this one-on-one encounter will be determined by you, the fan via fan votes. The two H2 superstars with the most votes will be signed to compete for the above prize. Starting May 27th and ending on May 30th at midnight, fans can e-mail H2 Pro-Wrestling at: Opera.Cup@H2Wrestling.com to decide who will battle to claim the rights as the best in H2. Note: You may only pick from the active list of H2 Superstars on the H2 roster page:

About the Opera Cup:
Held annually for nearly 50 years at various turn-of-the-century opera house locations from New York City to Boston, the Professional Wrestling Opera House Cup was a grueling multi-day tournament that was based around a complicated round robin system (which H2 hopes to bring back down the road). The best of the day competed in the tournament and would often be an entree to more success, including the World Heavyweight Championship of the day. For years the cup has sat in the attic of the Hart Mansion in Calgary until the tragic passing of the last cup recipient, Stu Hart (1948 winner). Ted Hart inherited the Opera House Trophy Cup upon the passing of his grandfather. Inspired by the legends whose names are immortalized in plaques on the sides of the cup, Hart has donated the cup to H2 Pro-Wrestling to reignite the spirit of the greats who preceded today and tomorrow's greats.

The Professional Wrestling Opera House Cup is dedicated to the great men who have fought valiantly before us to ensure our passion, professional wrestling be cemented and respected in the annals of time.

Was the Opera Cup a real thing or did Teddy make the story up?

Jesus! Jesus Christ! Say his name! Jesus! Jesus! Come down now!

Selling the wolves to a charnel house and then breaking a leg so as to not even be around as it slowly disintegrates was perfect. I can't wait to see how Davey Richards owns himself next.*

* "can't wait to see" is a figure of speech, I will not be following Davey Richards' path of humiliation, I will be waiting to hear about it.
