Superstar

**Superstar** (stylized as Superst★r) is a wrestling stable from WATW (Wrestling Around the World) which was active between 2013-2015. The genesis of the stable came after Jesus Christ Jr. vacated his half of the WATW Tag Team Championship to join Damage Inc. His tag partner The Best Ever chose to find a new partner to team with going forward. Initially picking Big Brick Wall, he ended up teaming with Starsmile after Wall was injured during a match. The stable eventually grew beyond the trio to include Sara and newcomer Tyler Johnson. The group would split officially in June 2015 when The Best Ever assaulted all of them out of frustration from losing the WATW Solid Steel Championship.

## History

### Solid Steel Champion, Disbandment (2014-2015)

At WATW Livin' With the Ladders 2014, The Best Ever defeated Erik The Sword in a ladder match to win the WATW Solid Steel Championship. At the time, Erik was undefeated in singles competition and, despite not pinning or submitting the champion, The Best Ever began bragging that he ended the undefeated streak.

At WATW Slamfest 2015, The Best Ever arrived with the rest of the group to lament not having a match before challenging anyone in the back. When nobody appeared, he moved on to challenging people in the crowd, specifically stating that "it didn't matter if you were a wrestler or not". This produced the recently retired Irish Fool to the ring who, after taking out Tyler Johnson and Starsmile, began brawling with The Best Ever. A referee ran down to ring the bell and after about 10 minutes, Irish Fool pinned The Best Ever to win the Solid Steel Championship.

On the episode of Mayhem after Slamfest, The Best Ever came out with his stablemates to challenge his title loss the previous night. Irish Fool agreed to put the title on the line where regardless of the result of the match, Fool would retire afterwards. The Best Ever would defeat him to reclaim the Solid Steel Championship. He and Irish Fool would shake hands after the match but after Fool left, the lights went out. When they came on, The Disciples (who had been on the shelf since March of that year) were in the ring. They proceeded to dispatch the entire stable swiftly. Big Dad Sinister produced the Keys of Destiny (which he was given by The Grinder back in February) and cashed them in on The Best Ever, defeating him for the Solid Steel Championship.

In the weeks following, The Best Ever began acting cryptic and depressed. He would challenge Big Dad Sinister to a rematch which would end up being a coffin match at WATW Hot as Hell 2015. Big Dad SInister would win the match after Starsmile and Sara were handcuffed to the ring post by NDK. The following night, The stable came out for a "town hall", wherein The Best Ever arrived with his depressive demeanor. After a moment though, The Best Ever returned to his cocky heel antics, showing that he was back to normal. This seemed to be a facade though as over the course of the promo, he complimented each member of the stable in the ring before attacking them viciously, beginning with Tyler Johnson before moving on to Starsmile. He faced off with Sara who, after realizing what was on The Best Ever's mind, slapped him across the face. The Best Ever responded *Big Booting* her before performing his finishing move *The Best Ever Bomb* on her. This would be the last time the full group would be united, although the core trio of The Best Ever, Starsmile and Sara would be seen together in backstage skits years later.

### Feuds and Reunions (2017-Present)

In the months following the breakup of the group, The Best Ever contended for and eventually won the WATW World Championship from Jayden DC. After losing the title, he began turning face, cemented by a feud with Erik the Sword and Damage Inc. In January 2017, The Best Ever was campaigning for a rematch but on an episode of Mayhem, he was confronted by a returning Starsmile. The Best Ever attempted to be diplomatic but was eventually attacked, establishing Starsmile as a heel.

They had a match at WATW Resurrection 2017, during which Starsmile attacked The Best Ever's leg with ferocity to the point that he could no longer stand. Starsmile had the match won after hitting his finisher *The Star Destroyer*, but he insisted on attempting to obtain a submission victory instead with the Sharpshooter. After multiple attempts at applying the hold, Starsmile gave up and tried to hit his finisher once again. This opened the door for The Best Ever to make a comeback and, with the assistance of the ropes, hit a brainbuster to get the win.

A rematch would be held under Submission Only rules the following month at WATW Prison Break 2017. The match at this event was more even but at the end, The Best Ever won once again, this time with the *Cloverleaf*. The feud would end at this point, but they would meet again in the finals of the Fight 4 Gold Tournament at WATW Fight 4 Gold 2017. Once again, The Best Ever would emerge victorious with the Brainbuster. Afterwards, Starsmile shook his hand, officially ending their feud and turning Starsmile face.

As they were both faces, they rarely interacted again on television. In 2021, they would meet again in the same block of the Round Robin version of the Fight 4 Gold tournament. In the first match of their block, The Best Ever would defeat Starsmile. However, The Best Ever would be defeated by Gede and Johnny Anderson while Starsmile would remain undefeated for the rest of the block, meaning that Starsmile moved on to the finals instead of The Best Ever. Starsmile would go on to win the whole tournament. The Best Ever took exception to this, saying that since he beat Starsmile, he should contend for the title at Slamfest instead. The two battled at WATW Pearly Gates 2021 with the title match on the line and this time, Starsmile won the match with the *Sharpshooter.* In a moment mirroring their match at Fight 4 Gold 2017, The Best Ever shook Starsmile's hand.

The two would reunite under ***SuperStar*** name for the first time since 2015 at PCWA/RWF/WATW Crossfire 2021, where they would be defeated by another reunited team in Suicide Solution.
