The Black Prince: Wrestling’s Most Mysterious Chiropractor or Just a Royal Pain
By Dorothy Cranial Crackerjack
In the whimsical world of professional wrestling, few characters are as delightfully enigmatic as The Black Prince, affectionately dubbed "The Regicide.” This gentleman hails from the picturesque grounds of Woodstock Palace in Oxfordshire, UK. His true identity remains a tantalizing mystery, giving rise to all manner of speculation. Could he be a scion of the royal family, a retired footballer with a penchant for mischief, or perhaps even a rogue of sorts? The imagination boggles!
Decked out in his signature black tights and boots, The Black Prince makes quite the entrance, his ensemble completed with a dramatic cape and hat, topped off by a rather dashing black eye mask. His villainous flair is only heightened by the jaunty strains of "New Recruit" by Eric Clapton that herald his arrival—a tune that surely raises eyebrows among the more genteel attendees.
Inside the squared circle, The Black Prince is a veritable whirlwind of aggression. A master of mayhem, he employs a repertoire of punishing moves that would make even the most seasoned opponents quail. With a heel hook here, an overhand chop there, and a dragon screw leg whip thrown in for good measure, he seems to relish in giving his adversaries precious little time to catch their breath. His signature flourish—a dropkick to the knee followed by the STF—has left many a challenger pondering the wisdom of entering the ring with him.
Recently, whispers have floated about suggesting that our masked marvel has taken to qualifying as a chiropractor. One can only imagine the curious implications of such a development! Will this newfound expertise enhance his already formidable abilities? Only time will tell. For now, The Regicide remains a figure of intrigue, captivating audiences and leaving rivals in delightful disarray, while the truth behind the mask dances just out of reach.

‘THE PILOT’ TV REPORT
(Taped 10 April 2021 at South Bulawayo Youth Centre, Zimbabwe)
[4] ALF’ SLEDGEHAMMER’ SALISBURY (Harare, Zimbabwe, 269lbs) v LAURENCE BROOKS (Rusape, Zimbabwe 195lbs) – Catchweight
The crowd erupted as national wrestling sensation ‘The Sledgehammer’ returned to the ring, the first time in Bulawayo in many years following his travels around the globe. He was no match for Laurence Brooks, despite having a comprehensive amateur background it was Salisbury who was able to use his considerable size advantage to restrict Brooks’ movements around the ring with a fierce headlock early on. Brooks only way into the contest was a dirty looking punch to the kidneys before pushing Salisbury out of the ring before pushing him face first into the rusty steel turnbuckle post. Salisbury was cut with a large four inch cash on the head and the blood was flowing freely. The referee was concerned and a medic was quickly found from the backstage area to check on the national hero – who was eventually deemed fit to continue. Salisbury was now in trouble, with impaired vision and the loss of blood impacting his balance and energy Brooks hit a nasty looking knee drop which opened the cut up even further. Brooks locked on a figure four leg lock and the crowd were on the edge of their seats as it looked like their hero The Sledgehammer was set to pass out, his face now covered with crimson red that was now causing a small puddle to form on the canvas. But The Sledgehammer had too much fight in him, he got the energy of the crowd behind him and he managed to reverse the hold, putting the pressure now on Brooks’ knee. Laurence Brooks though was able to scramble to the the ropes and the referee made Alan Salisbury break the hold. As Laurence Brooks got to his feet, he tested out the mobility of his left leg and pulled up his knee pad but before he knew what was happening Salisbury rocked him with an uppercut that sent him crashing to the mat, then a second before he lifted him onto his shoulder for a perfectly executed shoulder breaker. Brooks was in agony, the fans believing he may have separated his shoulder but there was no letting up from Salisbury who tugged him up by his arm and sent him across the ring with an Irish whip before almost decapitating him with a lariat, the bloody Salisbury then fell down on his opponent to cover him.
RESULT: Alf ‘Sledgehammer’ Salisbury in 14:51 following a lariat.

******************
Two really big shows that I hope you have enjoyed (plus a couple of episodes from The Compendium).
I’m loving the momentum we have at the moment and its great to see some nice things being said about us in the community as well. That is more a testament to you - the handlers than anything I cam writing.
We still have spots in the ‘Wild in West Indies’ show on 19 October, please DM if interested.
You will soon start hearing more about the Great Britain & Ireland Amateur Challenge More info can be found here - hrhgeorgevi.boards.net/thread/130/great-britain-ireland-amateur-challenge, please get in touch if you want to participate.
Keep an eye out for the first ever Rankings which will be released in the next few days. They have taken a while to compile and I have learnt a few lessons on the way. They are for fun and will be there to help drive the narrative, not necessarily to make decisions on bookings. It’s just another mechanic to help move us along. Sorry if there is a mistake in there, I’ll be better next month with a clean slate.
Once again thank you, please get in touch with feedback, ideas or questions.
