A Spectacular Explosion!

They tried so hard to be, well, “Spectacular.”

Brady Pierce with brothers Rush and Rolando Freeman had looks, fan support, dance moves and more — yet somehow never quite lived up to their name. Unable to gain consistent momentum (or victories), and marred by incessant bickering between the Freemans, The Spectaculars imploded at NWA 75.

“I am sick of being laughed at by others,” said Pierce, who turned his back on the Freeman brothers during the Austin Idol National Battle Royal.

“Even Rolando considers Rush the weak link, so why should I feel any different?” Pierce asked, “It’s time to cut the dead weight. The Spectaculars are dead!”

While some undoubtedly see Brady’s point, others see it differently. Those close to the situation say Rush suffered silently between two, ever-growing egos for months.

“Those victories over Matt Cardona last summer made Rolando utterly unbearable,” one source confided. “His ego went through the roof — and his big mouth has caused so many problems for The Spectaculars they might have otherwise never had.”

Meanwhile, Pierce’s acting career has taken off. A role in the highly-anticipated Von Erich bio pic Iron Claw boosted his self-confidence, making him less interested in the trio…especially if they aren’t winning.

Indeed, the only member who does not have projects outside The Spectaculars to focus on is Rush. More importantly, some say, Rush has shown the group complete dedication — possibly far more than his partners from the beginning. Now he’s an unexpected lone wolf.

At Samhain, Rush is forced into battle against his long-time best friend. On Oct. 28, live in Cleveland, OH, and worldwide on pay-per-view, Rush faces Pierce in a “Loser-Leaves-NWA” match — with Rolando as special guest referee.

“It’s not what I want to do, but it’s what I have to do, especially if I want a future in the National Wrestling Alliance — and I do!” says Rush.

“At the end of that match, someone is leaving NWA,” he goes on. “And it’s either going to be me…or my best friend.”

“This really is a no-win situation for Rush,” the source says. “No matter who walks out victorious, he’s going to be nursing a broken heart for a long time to come.”
