This past Sunday was a very special day at BWC. The ring was filled w/several BWC wrestlers all competing for the honor of having their name added to the prestigious Curtis Parker Memorial Cup. The last person standing at the end of the match would get bragging rights for the rest of the year. The Parker Cup is named in honor of Frank 'The Tank' Parker's father, Curtis. Curtis Parker was a huge fan & supporter of Boogie's Wrestling Camp. He did so much for the camp through the years & his memory will always be alive at the Boogieland Compound, especially on Parker Cup Sunday. I've always said that you never know what to expect at BWC & you never know when something extra special will happen. The ending of this year's Parker Cup Battle Royal was a perfect example of both of those statements in action. Senior referee Patrick Lancaster was stationed outside the ring for most of the match to officially eliminate a wrestler once they hit the floor. When the smoke cleared & only Shawn Cruz & Mike Mars remained standing in the ring, Patrick joined them inside the squared circle to better officiate the ending of the match. It looked like the bout could go either way as ring veteran Cruz did battle w/powerful new wrestling star, Big Mike. As the two competitors waged a war near the ropes, they ended up pushing each other over at the same time. At exactly the same moment, both wrestlers hit the floor. W/the last two wrestlers eliminated at exactly the same time, the only fair thing to do was to award the match & the Parker Cup to the last person standing in the ring. In this case that person was referee Patrick Lancaster. What a well deserverd honor for one of the elite officials in the business today. Congrats Patrick! Be back this Mon. for the next exciting Boogieland comic strip! I highly recommend a visit to the real Boogieland in person this Sunday or any Sunday, from 12 noon to 4pm. Admission is free!
