On April 30th, 2022, in the main event of the 2nd half of our debut doubleheader Blackout, Calvin Tankman faced off against Myron Reed, where the two long-time rivals and friends pushed it to the limit. After the match, while sharing a moment with two of the other NAP co-founders Chase Holliday and Shawn Kemp, Tankman declared himself the top dog in Indianapolis and put out a challenge to anyone person who thinks they can knock off his crown.

The challenge was immediately answered by not just one person, but a team of them, a team who had won their 3-on-3 tag match on the first half of the doubleheader. Three men synonymous with wrestling in the mid-Atlantic region but more specifically the Deadlock Pro Wrestling promotion in Diego Hill, BK Westbrook, and DPW World Champion Bojack all made their way to the ring and a staredown commenced.

The NAP trio of Tankman, Kemp, and Holliday have known each other for years and have tagged with each other before but never as a trio. Some would say that shouldn’t be an issues as they have years of trust and knowledge built up between them but experience as a team like the Highflying Star Machines have can’t be replicated. In addition to that all three of these men have wrestled each other in extremely heated bouts over the past few months and while everything seems okay on the surface there’s no accounting for feelings in the midst of battle and that could very well be their downfall

It’s also worth noting that while never during wrestling competition these men have met many a time before as the NAP trio are also roster DPW members with Kemp & Holliday competing as a tag team and Tankman as a singles competitor and a successful one at that. Tankman currently holds the DPW National Championship and has been called by management and fans alike as the “gatekeeper” of Deadlock Pro Wrestling a title that as DPW’s first and only ever holder of its top championship should go to Bojack.

Diego falls in support of his best friend Bojack as he looks to stamp the flag of the Star Machines at the very top of the NAP Mountain which leaves the last member BK Westbrook. BK while being a man who usually marches to the beat of his own drum has been uncharacteristically standoffish with his HFSM brothers, most notably competing in a heated tag team match in North Carolina against Bojack. And while his social media speaks in support of them being a cohesive unit his actions say otherwise.

Eyes all across the country are on this 6-person tag team match and with layers this deep who knows what may happen!

At our first event, the doubleheader of Wake Up & Blackout, these two both wrestled NAP founder Chase Holliday with Noctis coming up short in the evening show but influencing the outcome of the second show by distracting Holliday and allowing Bengston to gain the victory with his trademark pinning combination, the Waterloo Bridge.

Now with both looking to keep their spot on future NAP events, the Rudo Vampire Bloodhunter Noctis, and the ever-popular Polymath Prince Bengston. face each other in what’s sure to be a fast paced technical clash.
