Comments:
Shane Ballard
is a huge fan of the Hardy Boys of the WWF because,
as he says, "we have the same style." When the two teams
collided at The Galaxy Theater, fans were treated to
an incredible showdown between two of the most talented
teams in the country.
A veteran
hockey player at the junior level, Shane Ballard was
drafted by the Maple Leafs and was also a state champion
high school wrestler.
His
UPW experience means "being part of a family" and he
hopes to make the big-time and wrestle in front of 20,000
fans every night.
Like
Edge of the WWF, his hockey background has served him
well when he has to go into the corners of the squared-circle.
Look for this guy to be dropping his gloves on Monday
night television someday.

Comments:
Shannon, like brother Shane, is the consummate professional
in the wrestling ring.
A former
hockey player, this musician (member of the band Synthetic
Mary) enjoys the "unity, togetherness, and striving
for the same goal" that UPW offers to its family.
He's
a huge fan of the Los Angeles Kings and carbo loads
with Italian food whenever he gets the chance. In addition,
his high school and college wrestling successes have
prepared him well for life in the ring with the greatest
athletes in the world.
Look
for this member of the Ballard Brothers to be receiving
several ten-minute misconduct penalties in the future,
especially after the Ballards well-received WWE tryout
match!
