Match 3 – HoodFigher Tournament

Participants have traveled from across the globe – and from beyond – to perform in the HoodFigher Tournament since 2010.  The inaugural champion was Juice Lee, defeating Santa, Sagat, Guile and surprise final entrant Sheng Long to have the chance of calling himself first ever Tournament Champion.

Drugz Bunny: The rabbit with a habit, from a left turn at Albuquerque, Drugz Bunny! Fan favorite of Oakland, the nation and the stars; the Bunny Club grows at a staggering rare! After spending 17 months as Golden Gig Champion, he finally relinquished the title under dubious circumstances after being pinned by 3 opponents at once last August. In October, he drew number one in the 30 Entity Rumble for the Gig, and almost won it nonetheless. Now back in the hunt, Drugz aims to prove he’s still the dominant force in Hoodslam by defeating 3 opponents in one night.

 

Brian Cage: Known as “The Machine” around the globe, Cage is the destroyer of Legends. Tearing through the likes of Alberto Del Rio, Rey Mysterio Jr and pretty much any indy internet darling you can think of, Cage is as imposing as they come.  He’s toured everywhere, been everywhere, worked everywhere BUT he’s no Hoodslam and wagon jumper, nor are we late for the Cage train; he’s CA family, and even performed at Hoodslam 2 at the Victory Warehouse in 2010.  No stranger to our strange land, Brian Cage looks to continue his complete dominance of wrestling by winning the accolade of Tournament Champion, all the while dazzling the crowd by living up to his mantra “GMSI” – “get my shit in”.

Shotzi Blackheart…Pizza Cat?

We reported on her entry in the tournament earlier, and immediately were sent this documentary style footage of New U members Brutal Rob Hands and Shotzi Blackheart training for the upcoming tournament this Friday. Things have taken a turn for the odd…

Match 2nd: HoodFigher Tournament

The yearly tradition is this Friday! Who will survive three grueling contests in one night to achieve victory? Whoever it is, they earn bragging rights for the year AND a shot at the Best Athlete in the East Bay Golden Fanny Packs Awards at first friday in January!

Zangev: Unlike the spelling of his name, none can deny the ultimate muscle power of the Soviet bear wrestling street fighter.  His piledriver is one of the most devastating maneuvers in the Hoodslam locker room, and he’s used it in Oakland since 2012 to achieve numerous victories. At multiple times he was within grasp of the Golden Gig, but to no avail. Lately, he has felt the cold shoulder from both his Street Fighter compatriots and Hoodslam originals. The Russian Lover is the most experienced of our 8 HoodFigher Tournament participants in Tournament battle.

 

Shotzi Blackheart: member of New U with brutal Rob Hands and their Coach, Coach Joey Nuggs. She made her wrestling debut in this tournament two years ago, making it to the semi finals. She also won the Kayfabe Memorial Tournament in April 2015, but never cashed in the trophy due to internal strife with her former squad, Stoner U.  We’d like to say she’s more focused now, but after being bitten by Intergalactic Ambassador Drucilla’s space kitty at Novembers Walking Phoenix event, she’s been…less than focused.

Match 1: HOOD FIGHER TOURNAMENT

This Friday is the annual tradition, and the tournaments opening round will be announced a match a day this week! The winner will be the SEVENTH Tournament Champion, and receive an opportunity at the Best Athlete in the East Bay Golden Fanny Packs at January First Friday!

Cereal Man : A visitor on our planet for almost two years now, this Super Hero and champion of balanced breakfast has learned a lot in his stay!  After being betrayed and beaten by Brittany Wonder multiple times, Cereal MAN finally found his fire and was able to defeat his former (?)crush/nemesis.  Last year he went to the finals vs PONG, could the momentum from his recent feud carry him all the way in 2016?

 

Sinn Bodhi:  Taking the trip from Freakshow Wrestling in Las Vegas to Hoodslam in Oakland, this killer clown is sure to make a lasting impression on newcomers.  The Warlord of Weird, Sinn Bodhi is no stranger to Hoodslam circles. He’s no stranger to any circle; you name it, he’s been there and done that.  Outwardly chaotic, internally disturbed, his experience and unique application of knowledge have kept him sharply on the keen edge of brilliance and insanity. There is no fear in his psyche, only the perpetually spinning cogs of a sado masochistic mental monster machine.
