Do you know who else Nanook had, that is a keyword right there, had, as a client?
I know, I know.
Nanook had the former, longest reigning WhirlWind Wrestling champion…..
What was that?
Wow, you asked a question without swearing. I’m so proud of you. WhirlWind Wrestling was, very good, you spotted that keyword again, Was a promotion out of Mexico that was around for, it felt like years to be honest but it was 7 months, roughly. Give or take a month. It had just one championship belt. 3 people held that belt and the longest reigning champion was a dude named Double J Joe Jones. 18 years in the sport. Countless titles, countless promotions and countless injuries, boy friends, stuff like that. Joe got his break being his dad’s manager towards the end of his career in St. Louis. After words, Joe moved on to Philly and finally got his break. He had to overcome some hurdles, which when you finally meet Joe, you’ll understand them. The wrestling world was a different world 18 years ago. People, promoters, wrestlers and fans tend to be more open minded these days. In short, all you need to know about WW LLC is that Joe was the best champion they had, was a huge player there, resurrected his career there and Nanook tried to get Bester signed there, but couldn’t. There was just so much space in the locker room, only just so much money to go around. For what its worth, Bester did sign with WW LLC, right before the company went belly up. More on that later.
Early in Joe’s career, He meet Nanook and was one of the first to sign on with him. They had a big run in NY, Philly, Vegas, Tennessee, West coast to name a few places without naming places. But they had a falling out. Joe got hurt a couple of times and was on the shelf. Nanook had to keep it going, signed other talents and started focusing on them. Then as you guess, Nanook screwed Joe over on a deal. Even though Joe expressly didn’t want to resign with a company, Nanook went ahead and made the deal anyways.
It should be noted at this point, Joe was looking to take a breather. He was getting married, which didn’t happen. He had to go back under the knife to clean up some stuff so that extended his time out of the ring. Joe was also thinking about moving on and looking elsewhere. It got ugly between them. Once close friends were now bitter enemies and stuck in the middle was Bester, whom Nanook just signed. Throw in that Nanook, allegedly, didn’t get Joe and his little buddy James Kelloggs, who you will meet later on, their releases, their former employer was now suing for breach of contract that neither Joe or James knew they had and yeah, It got ugly. Meanwhile Bester was doing just fine for himself despite not having the career that Joe had. It’s not really Bester’s fault, he was just caught in the middle of this pissing match between Joe and Nanook.
And then they find themselves in Mexico…...
For reasons unknown, Nanook and WW LLC couldn’t agree on a deal even though Bester was pretty much at every show, and is a big draw in his own right. Neighter side could come to terms on a deal that worked for either side. To try and drum demand for Bester to be shown on WW LLC TV, Bester would work dates in and around Mexico at little indie shows. And that my friends is where everything went down hill for Nanook.
It was at this one show in a high school gym that Bester was introduced to Lucha Libre. He was given a mask in the locker room, talked into wearing it for this tag match and that is all it took. Yes, everyone knew who was under the mask, he was booked as Bester for crying out loud. But what started out as a gag, turned to be his life….
Bester would not let go of the mask. He embraced the Lucha way with a passion. Giving himself this alter ego, a new name and coined himself the SuperHero of Pro Wrestling.
Okay, okay, you got me. Bester didn’t/doesn’t call himself that. That is what the fans and the media call him.
Bester started calling himself Orgulloso Guardian Del Arcoiris, or Defender of the Rainbow. This of course, made Nanook irate. He was working so hard to get Bester signed, he failed to see what was right in front of him. OGDA. That is who WW LLC wanted to sign, that is who WW LLC wanted at their shows. They could care less for Bester. It was OGDA or nothing.
It did end up happening in the end, perhaps it was just too late for the company. In Mexico, there wasn’t a bigger star in the sport than OGDA. Several small indie shows benefited for booking OGDA, but WW LLC was not one of them…..
Coming Soon.
OGDA to WW LLC

Santa Catarina, Mexico
Pato’s school….
Friday night……
It’s a busy, jam packed, sold out show for some of the finest local lucha in Mexico today at Pato’s school. Nanook, Bester’s agent, manager, head of training and best buddy is sitting on the pull out bleachers that are bolted to the wall. He is on his phone and some masked guys do all sorts of flippy shit in the ring, all to a huge pop, a big as a crowd of 162 people on hand can muster. It’s bigger than normal and the reason for this big crowd, is for living legend and Mexican wrestling icon, El Maestro de spots Jose Hernandez, now in his 60’s, El Maestro is on hand for a meet and greet. Everyone is so geeked up for this. Lots of old faded El Maestro de spots tees in the crowd tonight.
But that is not why Nanook is there tonight. He’s on hand for 2 reasons.
One. Bester has a match, a tag match in the main event as he teams up with a dude named Peter Nuevo…...yup, just Peter Nuevo and the kiddies, they love Peter Nuevo. They will be facing a high octane team called Un Paquete Negro de Balas. They sound like badasses don’t they?
Two. The 4g wifi.
Nanook is thumbing his way on his phone as he hits up google, visits the Whirlwind Wrestling website to join the WW Inner Circle Fan Club. After entering in his credit card info, twice, guess who is a new member of the hottest fan club in wrestling! If you said Nanook, you would be correct!
Nanook “There we go….now you can’t stop me from getting into Threads of Disloyalty. (laughs) Fucking Joe, think you’re so smart. Just for that I hope Samantha neuters you.”
Scrolling through the site of this exclusive fan club, Nanook finds:
Tickets
Nanook “Yeah that’s what I’m talking about!”
He clicks on the link and it takes him to a new page on his phone. There he is given a option. To buy tickets for Threads of Disloyalty or to be on the super early bird list for the event following ToD. Naturally Nanook clicks on tickets for ToD.
Everyone around him, in the gym, they are fixated on the match at hand. Only Nanook is on his phone and he’s busy buying tickets for another wrestling promotion. How ironic. After a couple of seconds Nanook is on the screen where he can buy some tickets.
Nanook “Yes! Now I can get in the damn building, get Bester a try out and get him signed so I can get paid. Then I can have him take out fucking Joe and Bester can take his spot, where he should be along.”
One minute later, Nanook “buys” tickets for ToD……
Or so he thought.
Nanook “The fuck? Due to the high demand, there is going to be a lottery for tickets? What? Are you serious? I did all of this bullshit and I still might not get in?”
“Mister Nanook! Look!”
As Nanook is reading the email he just got, which informs him that the day of the show, there will be a lottery to see who can get tickets and at that time, your credit card will be charged. If you are not selected, you will be given a weighted advantaged in having your name selected for the next event, but you are not guaranteed to win tickets.
Bester has snuck out from the back during the match that is going on in to see Nanook.
Nanook looks up and there is Bester in a hoodie, wearing a white mask with a rainbow going across his forehead. You can’t see his face, or the huge smile underneath his mask, but you know he is smiling ear to ear.
Nanook “The fuck?”
Bester “Mister Nanook! Naughty word!”
Nanook “Bester? What is that?”
Bester “My mask! Tonight I will be Orgulloso Guardián Del Arcoiris!”
Nanook “The what?”
Bester “Isn’t it awesome? I’m so happy right now. I’ve got to go. We’re on after El Maestro De Spots! Take care Mister Nanook. Bye bye now!”
And like a rainbow in the night, Orgulloso Guardian Del Arcoiris is gone. Nanook still can’t believe what he just saw…..
In fact he is so flabbergasted, he has forgotten about the ticket lottery.
I know, I know.
“I don’t fucking care at this point.”
Nanook had the former, longest reigning WhirlWind Wrestling champion…..
