I’m sure y’all noticed the picture of my Cousin Candace and OSW superstar Chris “The Hammer” Walker, which was taken about five years ago. Well, as usual, I do have a modus operandi for posting this photo in today’s blog post: Today is Chris Walker’s birthday, and seeing as how I am a huge fan of his, I decided to celebrate Big Homey’s birthday in this very special blog post.
So, here’s the story on the OSW superstar affectionately known as Big Homey: He was born and raised in Okolona, Mississippi, and he is also a Rust College alumnus... imagine that, y’all—my favorite wrestler is a fellow Bearcat! Anyway, his career began in the Ol’ Skool Wrestling promotion at the Homecoming 2007 pay-per-view, when he defeated the dangerously cunning Derrick Mercy. Almost immediately, the OSW SuperFans jumped on the Big Homey bandwagon. I can tell you that I grew to like Big Homey because of the fact that he is a native Mississippian, but also, he is the same true-to-life, down-to-earth good guy off-screen as he is on screen.
Big Homey’s first championship was the OSW Tag Team Title, which he won twice with fellow Rust College alum Ken Rivers. The held the title for three months until they dropped them to Team Syko. After a failed attempt to regain the straps in a rematch, Walker and Rivers went their separate ways. The following week, Big Homey decided to fully embrace his singles career, and in doing so, he debuted two new moves in his arsenal: the Misunderstanding Lariat and the “Mind Over Matter” diving headbutt. However, it was at Homecoming 2008 that Big Homey cemented his status in the OSW, when he forced the 6’5” 450-pound Mastodon to tap out to the Rust College Rack, thus winning his first OSW Intercontinental Championship. The Hammerman went on to defend the I.C. Title for five months straight, before dropping it to Max Mayhem at SummerSlam 2008. This loss notwithstanding, Big Homey continued to show that he was definitely a force to be reckoned with.
Some fans believe that 2009 was Big Homey’s year, as he found himself a love interest in one Summer Reign, and later went on to win the 2009 King of Ring, thus renaming himself the “Big Ol’ King.” After an injury sidelined him in August 2009, Big Homey made his return to the OSW in October 2009 and emphatically declared that there was one big championship that he was looking for—the OSW World Heavyweight Title, which at the time was held by R.C. Longhorn. Well, it took some serious dedication and stamina, but eventually Big Homey became the #1 contender to Mr. Longhorn’s title at Homecoming 2010, and he finally achieved his crowning achievement! Incidentally, Big Homey debuted a new finishing move called the “Crowning Achievement” in order to win the biggest match of his career and his first OSW World Heavyweight Championship.
If today’s blog post is not an inclination that I am a big ol’ fan of Big Homey, then I don’t know how to convince you… hahaha! One thing is for certain however—whether he has the gold or not, you just can’t stop “The Reign!”
Hugs & Kisses,
