Title: Glenn Owen = James Flame? Dead or Alive?

Article:

Is James Flame Glenn Owen? Over the past few months many questions have arisen based around these two men, most notable is the question of Glenn Owens whereabouts. Did he really die lying on a table in the middle of a castle out in the world somewhere? Well these are questions nobody really has the answer to at the moment. Many theory’s have arisen over the past few months, and some of them are really worth looking into.
      Hordriss ? Just who is this guy ? Over a month ago now SFT was visited by a mysterious character called Hordriss. Like all wrestlers we are told he sent in an application, had a tryout and was given his first match. In his first match he won comfortably, but that was when things really began to get interesting. Hordriss is indeed an old man, and when he started talking about looking for someone, a few people began to realize things. For a start he was far too wise, even for an old man, and indeed his ways seemed to resemble those of our Co-Owner Shadow. Indeed there were many rumors flying around that Hordriss was indeed Shadow in disguise, as we still to this day have not seen the face of Hordriss. But only a little time after we saw Glenn Owen lying almost dead in the castle of Hordriss, and apart from a few visits, nobody has seen him since. He is of course presumed dead.
      Now could this really be possible? It’s no secret that Glenn went through many changes in his life. From a simple British Badd Ass, to a leader of The Immortal Outlawz to SFW/SFT World Champion. Glenn just about did it all. Indeed to this day he still holds the longest World title reign in SFT history with a reign just under 2 months. What makes this even more impressive is the fact that he simply gave the title away to Fox, his greatest enemy, even though at the time he was touched by practically nobody on the roster. Could a man like this really just lay down and die without a trace? Maybe Glenn has changed a lot in his time, and after his title reign he did indeed become SFT Ambassador, the creator of Holy Wars 2 and went on to have a memorable match with Shadow, a match in which Shadow openly admits was the hardest match he has ever had in his long… long wrestling career. Maybe all of this was the reason Glenn could not live anymore. Maybe *** in the end the darkness really did just take him over that he fought against for so long, and now is resting in the same place as Legion.
      But all of this is no good without us seeing something with our own eyes. This brings me to another point, who really was Hordriss? It has been suggested that it was Glenn’s father, or maybe it really was Shadow ending his best friend in a silent but honourable way. Who knows? But then, there are some clues…
      What of the re-appearance of James Flame. This surly can not go without looking at more closely. James Flame was the reason Glenn came to SFW in the first place. It was indeed James Flame that propelled The British Badd Ass to fame in such a short time. However, long ago, a theory was cooked up. One which till this day is still in a few people’s minds for those who have been around long enough. Is Glenn Owen really….. James Flame? It sounds daft I know. But just look at the facts. The British Badd Ass as a rookie took over from James Flame The Immortal Outlawz and straight away gave them just as much as James Flame ever did. James & Glenn were best friends, and each one to the present day will defend the other till the death. James Flame had his last match in his long career when The British Badd Ass practically had his first. Add to that the fact that nobody has ever seen them both around at the same time, and that The British Badd Ass seemed to have a far greater knowledge, and certainly skill than any rookie could possibly ever dream of. Is this just all a co-incidence? Or have we indeed been fooled by the original master mind of SFW, the man who’s wrestling record will truly never be beaten again. James Flame in his prime was the greatest ever. For those of you who don’t remember, he is not lying when he said he held every single belt in SFW all at the same time…. For months. He was a legend in every possible aspect, but of course these days he is looked upon as a has been. Is someone with this much talent and history really the sort of person not capable to pulling of such a stunt. It’s been rumoured that James Flame wanted to start all over again and see if it was himself who had the impact, or just his name. With that thought, we have to admit that The British Badd Ass practically took off where James was left. Could Glenn Owen really have been his other character ? Is it possible that for all this time, James Flame has indeed been doing what he always says he could…. Beating anyone who dares get in his way.
      Well, these are questions that have yet to be answered, and maybe we will never know the answers. But the questions will still remain. Whatever we know, find out or happens, it’s worth remembering Glenn Owen for what he did. To this day his wrestling record really is matched by nobody in SFT history. , and when we sit down and remember the true… true greats of SFW/SFT, Glenn’s name will forever be mentioned. He had a long, great career as The British Badd Ass, and as Glenn Owen, he simply had an even longer one. When you think the only man to ever beat Glenn Owen were Shadow & Legion, that is not a bad record at all. He was a man that believed in pure wrestling, simply as that. He had his own ways of doing things, and he has stood up to SFT management and staff in the past Nemours times defending the rights of his friends, and wrestlers, and what he believed to be the correct way of doing things. He needed not titles or fame, he was just himself, but that alone made him an idol to so many. Whatever has happened to him, we hope he remembers us the same way we remember him.
