WAIT. ANOTHER JOE BERGMAN SIGHTING?
As we move to another backstage area, we can see Joe Bergman once again making an unexpected appearance at the PRIME show, one week after Joe retired from the wrestling industry after defeating Sage Pontiff at the PWA-02 event last week.
Joe is standing in front of the camera, looking calm and composed, dressed in a slightly formal outfit.
Joe Bergman: “I’m here at PRIME’s ReVival 30 for a couple of reasons. Firstly, to get under Lee Best’s skin.
Joe chuckles.
Joe Bergman: Secondly, I’m here to support Adam Ellis. Ladies and gentlemen, tonight is a big night for Adam. I’ve had the pleasure of mentoring this young and talented wrestler on his journey in the wrestling world. He has all the qualities of a future star in this business, and it has been my privilege to watch him grow and develop over the past four years. I can confidently say that he is destined for greatness.
He pauses for a second.
Joe Bergman: Tonight, Adam faces two-time Universal Champion Hayes Hanlon in a Tropical Turmoil qualifying match. A few weeks ago, Adam showed flashes of what he could become when he stood in the ring with Cecilworth Farthington and more than held his own against one of the top wrestlers in the world. Tonight, Adam will have to summon that type of performance once again against Hayes Hanlon.
Cut to a video clip of Adam Ellis walking towards the ring with his wife Ginny Van Lear…
…Adam’s wearing a pair of plain blue wrestling shorts. He starts forward down the ramp towards the ring followed by Van Lear, slapping the hands of the fans as he makes his down to the ring…
Joe Bergman: Tonight’s match is the biggest of his career… so far. He’s up against a tough opponent. Someone who’s been to the top here in PRIME. But I have every confidence that he’ll come out on top. I’m here to support him, and I know that he’s got what it takes to make it to the top.
Cut to another video clip of Adam- this time in action against Cecilworth Farthington at ReVival 26 in April…
… Farthington shoots up to his feet and brings Ellis with him. He grabs the man in a front face lock and tries to yank him over the top for a snap suplex. But Adam Ellis doesn’t budge. Farthington fires an elbow to the midsection of Ellis and tries again, but Adam doesn’t move an inch. Farthington tries once more, but Ellis fires an elbow into Farthington’s midsection this time. Ellis snaps Farthington over his head and sends the Financier to the canvas…
Joe Bergman: Adam Ellis has proven that he’s a force to be reckoned with. I believe tonight could be the night Adam takes the next step closer to realizing his dreams. But it won’t be easy. But the good thing about Adam is that he’s not just a wrestler, he’s an athlete. He has the strength, agility, and technical skills to take on anyone in this business. But what sets him apart is his heart. He’s got a fire in his belly that drives him to be the best and between myself, Charlie Blackwell, and his beautiful, but trigger-happy wife Ginny… Adam has a support system behind him to help drive him on. I’m proud to have been a part of his journey, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for him.
