Old Brown Heineken is a wrestler in the NEFW who is known for following the rules. A rare trait indeed in these days. Which is why we like him so much.Sure, his language sometimes is hard to understand, but there are so many cussing and cursing idiots out there that he is a nice change of pace.
He is 2 m and 5 cm tall (about 6'9"), and weighs 139 1/2 kg (307 lbs), and each cm and gramm is in perfect shape. It's really a shame he wears the full-body gym suit when wretling - he seems to be well-built and I'd really like to see him in something less occasionally - like all the gals I know. But the suit fits perfectly with his name - it's the background of the label on a bottle Heineken Oud Bruin, which is a Dutch beer. Oud Bruin is a dark, sweet beer that is low on alcohol, just for the record. For those who like sweet, it's just perfect.
Old Brown Heineken has been around for quite a while. After wrestling in a few indies, he appeared in the LWA (Lambeau Wrestling Association) in 1996, feuding with the Austin Corporation. When that federation closed, he had an appearance in the ill-fated WWA which folded immediately due to squabbles between the wrestlers and the executives. From there, he went to the NEFW. The day he appeared, Mike Austin (from the Austin Corporation) took a powder and hasn't been seen ever since - looks as if he still was running scared :-) He had a major feud with the Rude Dude ending in a classic one-hour ironman match with the stipulation that the loser would have to apologize. Rude did, in a way, saying, "I'm sorry I underestimated you".
From there, OBH went on to win a few more titles, including three World Heavyweight Championships. The third one he won in the summer of 1998 during the Your Up 2 tour of Europe, in the Goffertpark in Nijmegen, NL. I was there with four friends and us girls were screaming our heads off when he pulled out his great finisher, the 'Final Call', a flying cross body off the top rope. And then all hell almost broke loose when a gopher came in and handed him a letter. Luckily, the people in the stadium didn't know what it was, but we all saw his face go hard and him walk off literally fuming.
That letter, we learned later, had been an eviction notice by one of the execs, a dipsh!t called Karen Flowers, who had intended that notice for a completely different wrestler. It was her incompetence that had the greatest wrestler the NEFW ever had fired with stips that were un-be-lievable. It was lucky for the NEFW that their tour then took them out of the Netherlands, otherwise the Dutch people might have forgotten their laws and handed out some justice à la Lynch.
You can imagine that my girl friends and me were really happy when we heard that he would be back in the NEFW finally, after it had been closed down for a few days. At least now there is once again someone who will see to it that the rules of the sport are enforced. And with his combinatoin of technical high-flying moves and power, he will certainly be one of the major players in the federation again, I'm sure.
And as we had hoped, the new executives were not totally insensitive. The "champion" of the NEFW at that time was Corona, but the executives accepted that he had a point when he said, "I never lost the belt, you never stripped me of the title, so technically, I am still the World Champion". They set a title unification match with the added stipulation that, should OBH lose, he'd give up all claims to being close top two years of a champion, whereas if he won, he'd be reibnstated and accepted as the longest-running NEFW World Champion. The match was hard-fought, but in the end justice (and OBH) prevailed.
By now, he has lost the title, yes, but he has held it for over two years, which is somewhat of a record all by itself.
Oh, one last note: I have seen him on the beach last summer, and yes, he really has nothing to hide under that gym suit of his. No, he is really yummy. :-) And when us girls flocked around him, asking him for autographs and asking him all kinds of things (I blush when I remember how stupid some of them were), he was a great sport, not at all stuck up.
Oh yes, for those that are interested, he is still unmarried and doesn't even have a girl friend - though he definitely isn't gay. How I come to know this? Hey, now, that's no business of yours...
So, for those that need to have wrestler's entrance musics, here
is his entrance 'music', which is just beer being tapped into a glass.
