Veljumin Rippa
Career Highlights

Veljumin came to America after living with his Swedish father, an engineer, who had found true love in their home country. Veljumin came to America in search of training to achieve his one dream - to become the greatest wrestler in the world. He tried MMA, boxing, and even ping pong when first arriving in the staes. Nothing was catching his interest. So he decided to move to out-of-the-way Telluride, Colorado and take the job as a desk clerk at the local bowling alley. He was beginning to accept his place in the world.

It was at Snow Drop Lanes where Veljumin met Ruby, the woman who would introduce him to wrestling, a regular who had a 275 average and one hell of a right-hook. With her he started down a path of high-flying, rough-and-tough brawling that is his life today. She enchanted him and got him a gig as a guest wrestler in the local VFW show that was being put on by the church. It was more than anybody in that lineup signed up for. As Veljumin threw his third victim into the crowd, the entire production cast and crew came storming down the aisle to rush the ring. Fifty-nine people in all. Veljumin injured 32, totally knocked 15 out, and sent 7 innocent fans to the hospital from fear that they were witnessing the Holocaust come to life.

It was here and now that Ruby sent the footage in, or she didn’t, but either way - PRIME officials came knocking. They said that with some time and proper training Veljumin might someday hoist a title above his head. Ecstatic and overjoyed, Veljumin began chanting about a World Championship. It became apparent to Veljumin exactly what he had to do.
