Meet Your Champions
Twisted
HIW Heavyweight Champion
For years, Twisted has been one of the most dangerous and unpredictable forces in High Impact Wrestling. Known for his brutality, mind games, and refusal to back down from violence, Twisted carved a path through HIW with one goal in mind — championship gold.
That goal became reality when Twisted defeated longtime rival Smiling Jack Wells in a brutal championship battle to become the NEW HIW Heavyweight Champion.
Now aligned with The Directive under the leadership of Shaggy “The Shaggster” England, Twisted stands at the top of HIW with power, chaos, and destruction backing every move he makes.
With Earnest Olsson joining The Directive and The Valhalla Wrecking Crew standing beside them, Twisted’s reign may only be the beginning of a dangerous new era for HIW.
“The Nightmare has become champion.”
Earnest Olsson
HIW Tucson City Champion
Known throughout HIW as “The Northman,” Earnest Olsson built his reputation through discipline, resilience, and pure domination inside the ring. A warrior with unmatched toughness and intensity, Olsson became one of the most respected competitors in Arizona wrestling while holding the HIW Tucson City Championship.
But respect only gets you so far.
In a shocking turn that stunned the HIW faithful, Olsson revealed his allegiance to The Directive during the HIW Heavyweight Championship match between Twisted and Smiling Jack Wells. After weeks of tension and manipulation surrounding Shaggy “The Shaggster” England and The Directive, Olsson showed the world his true intentions when he helped Twisted secure championship gold.
Now standing alongside Twisted as part of The Directive, Earnest Olsson has embraced a more dangerous path—one fueled by power, violence, and control.
And with championship gold already around his waist, The Northman’s reign of destruction is far from over.
JMP
HIW Ever-Ready Champion
A new era has begun.
After a hard-fought battle, JMP finally climbed the mountain and dethroned Mateo Gemini to become the NEW Ever-Ready Champion.
Known to the fans as “The Big Stepper,” JMP has earned every ounce of this moment through heart, grit, and pure determination. Drawing inspiration from legends while carving his own path, JMP represents what it truly means to be Ever-Ready — never backing down, never quitting, and always rising to the occasion.
With the crowd firmly behind him and championship gold now around his waist, JMP steps into this reign with momentum on his side.
One thing is clear…
All he does is win.
