From AWA World-1 South Promoter Jody Peterman:

As many of you know Ronald James Niemi was born in the U.P. of the State of Michigan. Most can tell this by his obnoxious accent. The military brought Ron Niemi to Tampa, Florida and ultimately his family brought him to Savannah Georgia.

From his IPW Hardcore and NWA Florida days Niemi rarely if ever played a role in bringing any Georgia Legends to wrestling shows he was involved with or promoted. Niemi laughed at people like myself for bringing in the old school wrestling legends considering it a waste of money detesting the Southern Wrestling style.

After Niemi moved to Savannah he has consistently complained of being asked questions by old school wrestling fans in the Savannah area if he knew Georgia Legends like Wildfire Tommy Rich and the Gold Boy Chic Donovan.

Niemi was raised on AWA Wrestling from Green Bay Wisconsin. He despised southern wrestling preferring wrestlers like the Crusher, Dick the Bruiser, Nick Bockwinkel, Buddy Rose, Col. DeBeers, Jake "the Milkman" Milliman and "The Thumper" Frankie DeFalco.

On May 3 2008 "HARDCORE GIANT" Ron Niemi brings his AWA Legends Jake "The Milkman" Milliman and Frankie DeFalco to Cordele, Georgia. Milliman and DeFalco have faced AWA and WWE superstars all over the world and have been the AWA World Tag Champions for a short time before being stripped of the titles by the AWA Board of Directors.

A few of Milliman's accomplishments include:

Milliman defeated Todd Becker at SuperClash IV on April 8 1990. However his most famous match was one with Col. DeBeers known as the "Great American Turkey Hunt". The match was part of the AWA Team Challenge Series where the wrestler who got a stuffed uncooked turkey off of the topof a pole first would win. In what was considered at the time a major upset Milliman took the turkey from DeBeers when the referee's back was turned and was declared the winner. Milliman also participated in the final match in the TCS. That match was a royal rumble-style battle royal featuring Brad Rheingans Col. DeBeers The Trooper The Destruction Crew (Mike Enos & Wayne Bloom) the Texas Hangmen and others.

Milliman again came away with the win by eliminating DeBeers at the end winning the Series and a $1,000,000.00 check for his team Larry's Legends.

Niemi has demanded a tag team match with his men against Tommy Rich and the "Gold Boy" Chic Donovan and the AWA has granted this match that will be billed as AWA Legends v. Georgia Legends.

Niemi declares that his men will destroy Rich and Donovan and after they do he will declare that old school southern wrestling is DEAD!

Bell time is 7:30 pm on May 3 2008 at the Crisp County Middle School Auditorium in Cordele Ga. Stay tuned as more matches will be announced soon.

JAKE THE SNAKE ROBERTS RETURNS TO UXW!

Throughout his career he was known for his promos and his dark charisma, his extensive use of psychology in his matches, and has been credited for inventing the DDT, though that has been challenged. He is also credited with training the wrestlers Diamond Dallas Page and Raven, as well as teaching much about wrestling psychology to his on-screen enemies, Steve Austin and the Undertaker.

Jake Roberts has feuded with some of the biggest names in the history of this sport like Andre The Giant, The Macho Man Randy Savage, Ricky The Dragon Steamboat and so many more and now the Snake returns to UXW where he has defeated King Kong Bundy and a bloody beating in his last UXW appearance.
