This powerful Tag Team known as “Cold Cold World” had their in-ring debut on Future Stars of Wrestling’s 4/4/15 episode which is available on YouTube. I am loving their look as they make their way to the ring in matching white trunks, hoodies, and creepy facemasks that resemble the Stormtroopers from Star Wars (if the Stormtroopers had jacked up bodies and went around shirtless). Their two jobber opponents take one look at those swole bodies approaching the ring and begin performing push-ups to try to bulk up.
“Look at the SIZE of these two guys!” exclaims the match commentator (I think he was checking out the impressive bulges tenting the front of their white trunks when he said that.)
Are they actually going to wrestle with those freaky gasmasks on?
Following a brief and ineffective sneak attack from the jobbers, Cold Cold World take ownership of their ring.
Sure enough, they are going to fight with their masks on, which gives them an inhuman, sadistic appearance. They both remain in the ring and work together to utterly destroy their victims.
There is something so satisfying about a couple of brutes just unleashing their masculine power unabated and utterly squashing their victims.
One partner Irish Whips the other to Belly-splash Jobber #1 waiting in the corner. Jobber #1 is then shoved to the middle of the ring where he eats a huge white boot to the face.
The partners in Cold Cold World are known as Will Rood and Damien Grundy. They’ve been wrestling in various California indy promotions for the past several years. Since 2013, Rood and Grundy had called their tag team “Pretty Black and Jakked” — all three of which adjectives are accurate. If they stick with this creepier, scarier Cold Cold World gimmick, I think we will be seeing much more from these big brawlers. Plus, I’m a sucker for white gear, so I hope they stick with this color scheme.
Jobber #1 is next thrown out to the floor so that Cold Cold World can focus on the smaller, more naked Jobber #2. With Grundy holding his leg, Rood superkicks the victim in the face and the commentator shouts: “JEE-ZIS CHRIST!” when he witnesses the force of that kick.
Rood and Grundy both stay in the ring and use Double-Team tactics to utterly waste Jobber #2. The ref must be too intimidated to force them to obey the rules.
Here one partner hoists Mr. Sitting Duck up on his shoulders so the other partner can Flying-Clothesline his ass down to the mat. This kid is finished — pin him.
I liked what I saw and definitely want to see them wrestle again — especially if they maintain this dominant, unbeatable persona and continue to completely ignore the rules of Tag Team wrestling (and human decency in general.)
Their masks are a bit bulky to wrestle in, so — even though I love the masks — they might want to remove those gasmasks before each match to reveal matching white spandex masks underneath. Everything else is definitely working.
