Seymour Almasy
Career Highlights
2009 saw Seymour Almasy’s final appearances in both Primetime Central and one of its member feds, Sin City Championship Wrestling. For all of 2010, the return thought inevitable never happened. In fact, 2010 was the first year since 2003 in which Almasy never made an appearance on national television in a wrestling capacity.
Beyond only that, the improbable happened. A man virtually stalked by wrestling media for his entire career fell totally and completely off the radar screen. It was enough for many pundits to wonder if Seymour Almasy had actually, finally, willingly retired.
2011, however, sees the return of the Final Fantasy to in ring competition. As usual, there are questions swirling around Almasy: is, for example, this latest return borne not out of a desire for championship glory, but out of financial necessity? Those who know Seymour well claim his finances have always been in order, but far more intelligent men than he have lost fortunes in the past several years. Others speculate that Almasy may have a project on the horizon he wishes to plug. He has been rumored to have been working on his autobiography for years, as well as putting together a wrestling training academy bearing his name. The publicity PRIME could offer him for either exploit could well be more than enough to lure Almasy to the one company he publicly promised to never work for.
Or maybe it’s simpler than that. Maybe, after a year off, the wrestling bug bit once more, and with SCCW gone and GCW never friendly, perhaps the only place for Almasy to go was in fact Number One By Definition.
Making his return to PRIME on PPV in an interview with Angelica Brooks, Almasy soon find himself embroiled in the fires of the company's top competition, defeating Tom Walczak and Violence Jack before falling to the self-professed best wrestler in the world, Alexandra Pierce. During this run of time, Seymour also became notable for his assault of Jacob McKail.
Seemingly done for no reason, Almasy explained that the incident that had caused McKail to be blackballed from the sport hit close to home, as a former independent wrestler who had risen to prominence in that capacity. Vowing to make his "dream job" of PRIME a safer place, Seymour promised to eliminate McKail. The two men traded sneak attacks until Almasy got both a restraining order and Devin Shakur edicts preventing McKail from approaching him.
Almasy's early success (and sucking up to the boss) earned him a shot at Lindsay Troy's Intense title. Copious interference from the Codemaster and new heavy Thanatos resulted in Almasy lifting the belt from the Queen of the Ring.
With both Thanatos and the Codemaster at his side, and the Intense Championship strapped around his slender waist, one wonders the effort it will take to dislodge PRIME's newest champion.
