The Pieman Simon Glieman first entered the MWF at the 1997 Summer Showdown as a member of Dr. Destruction's Majority of Superiority. Teamed with the Menace in a losing effort against Masa Sushi and Mr. Hiamoto the Orient Express.
Titles Held
None
Greatest Match: 8/29/98 teamed with brother Hyman vs. Beach Crew Big
Kahuna & Beach Blanket Bobby. This match was the MWF tag tournament final
of MWF In Your Face 3 : Revolution Calling 98 . The tournament had seen both
teams advance in impressive fashion to face each other to decide the new
MWF tag team champions. After a hard-fought contest by both teams, the Piemen
were ultimately defeated by Beach Crew, but they showed their respect for
each other after the match by congratulating them in good sportsmanlike
fashion.
Favorite Match: 5/16/98 teamed with brother Hyman vs. Meankind &
DeathMask. This match became the debut match for Simon and his brother Hyman
as they formed the Piemen tag-team. With the arrival of brother Hyman to
help Simon with MWF matters, it bouyed his confidence, and translated this
into their first tag-team victory.
Toughest Opponent: Choppah Harley. Formed a short-lived tag-team with
Choppah Harley in one of Simon's early MWF matches as Flour and Gory as they
faced and were defeated by the Coalition. During an autograph session, Choppah
brutally assaulted his former tag partner power-bombing him thru the autograph
table. Simon faced Harley many times following the incident, but could never
achieve a 1-on-1 victory over him.
Most Hated Opponent(s): Kingdom of Karnage. Stemming from the infamous
autograph table incident, Simon enlisted the aid of the MOS to face Choppah
and his biker gang called the Kingdom Of Karnage. The KOK used brutal
triple-teaming tactics to defeat Team MOS in a 6-man match at KOTR 97. The
typically subdued Simon found himself violently attacking the gang after
the match, however, and in essence, the KOK had succeeded in lowering Simon
to their dastardly level.
Favorite Manuever: "Pie-cutter". This full-nelson reverse-russian
legsweep combination has become a feared finishing manuever in the MWF. With
the full-nelson applied, there is no way for an opponent to stop his face
being driven into the mat. Simon executes this singly or in cooperation with
his brother Hyman with devastating results.
Scouting
Report
Strengths
: Personable. Loves wrestling as much as pie-making. Loves
travelling to new towns, meeting the fans, and enjoying life.
: Pie Cutter. Whether performed as his personal finisher or
in a double-team version with his brother Hieman, this full-nelson reverse
Russian legsweep is an effective finishing move.
: Hyman Glieman. Career has been energized as his brother travelled
from Germany to aid Simon in his MWF battles.
: Eager. Wants to become a top-notch wrestler. He always arrives
early for shows and watches all the other MWF superstars in action to try
and learn from them.
Weaknesses
: MOS. Was one of the first MOS recruits of Dr. Destruction,
but his jovial attitude and wrestling style does not seem a good fit for
the more harder-edge members of the group. At times seems to more often become
the butt of MOS jokes than a valued member of that fraternity.
:Gullible. Makes friends so easily that sometimes he cannot
tell whether or not he is actually being used. Choppah Harley, for example,
was a man that Simon trusted, but turned on him when they lost a tag-match.
: Lacks Killer Instinct. One of the last true "nice-guys" in
the business that does not realize that more often than not, the nice guys
do finish last.
Career Bio
The Pieman Simon Glieman first entered the MWF at the 1997 Summer
Showdown as a member of Dr. Destruction's Majority of Superiority. ("In Germany,
we watched the MWF for years, and Dr. Destruction was a wrestler that seemed
to always be cheated out of victories by wrestlers who seemed to be on TV
all the time. So, when Dr. D sent out the call to bring in hard-working craftsmen
to be trained to wrestle to join the MOS, I knew I could do it! I am a great
pie-maker and very proud of my work. I also love the MWF, so I had to join!
Now I am doing all of the things I have dreamed to do! I love the USA!"),
Teamed with the Menace against Masa Sushi and Mr. Hiamoto the Orient Express.
The newcomer Simon was pinned, however, and became the first recipient of
the Express's new finishing manuever, the Sushi-flip. ("My first MWF match!
They hurt me with the sushi-flip, but I knew I could be a wrestler after
taking that! Dr. D was right!") Briefly teamed with Choppah Harley as Flour
and Gory in a tag team title match against the Coalition. ("When I met Choppah,
I offered him pie, and he offered me a beer. I did not drink, but thought
he was very nice.") Was severely beaten in this match and pinned by General
Nuisance. The following card, BattleBowl '97, arrived early to sign autographs,
but was savagely attacked by Harley who was incensed that they had lost the
tag title match. In a move that was voted the 1997 table spot of the year,
was power-bombed thru the autograph table by the brutal biker which launched
Simon into his first MWF feud. ("I thought he wanted Simon's autograph, but
he was only there to beat me up and make fun of me. It was not right. I tried
my best to win that match.") Tried to get revenge on Harley during the BattleBowl
Battle Royal later that same card after Simon had teamed with the Mountain
of Lust earlier and advanced to the main event battle royal but was eliminated
by Harley. ("It was called an anything-goes battle royal, but I did not think
that involved cheating to win. Choppah cheated, and threw me out.") At King
of the Ring 97, sought aid from fellow MOS members Sid and Notorious B.O.B.
against Harley's Kingdom of Karnage biker gang in a 6-man tag match. ("Dr.
D, the Great White Hunter and Meankind told me they were busier with more
important things, so I brought in Sid and B.O.B.") Although the K.O.K. scored
the victory by pinning Notorious B.O.B., Simon was able to put the pie-cutter
on Choppah outside the ring, low-blow Spike Harley, and body-slam Blaze Harley
thru the timekeeper's table and leave in a token of victory. ("They made
me very mad. I did not know my own strength. After the match, I wrote them
all letters of apology. I never heard back from them.") At WrestleMania 97,
was persuaded by fellow MOS member Wesley Kraven the Great White Hunter to
wrestle old friend and tag partner the Menace. Originally, the match had
been scheduled to pit the Hunter against the Menace 1-on-1 for the Menace
to reclaim the mask that had been stolen from him by Kraven, but the Menace
cited contractual clauses that he could not participate without the mask,
thus a legal notice had been served to the Hunter ordering the return of
the mask. Thus, the insulted Kraven enticed Glieman to wrestle in his stead
against the Menace. ("I did not want to wrestle my friend the Menace. The
Hunter made me do it.") The veteran Menace outwrestled the Pieman and defeated
him to close out 1997. ("After Menace beat me, a girl came out and beat him.
I was very depressed for a long time.") Resumed his own feud with Harley
and Kingdom of Karnage when 1998 began. At Spring Fling '98 was delighted
when his brother Hieman contacted him and joined Simon as a tag-team to battle
the Kingdom. ("I was very sad without Hyman, then he called and said he was
on his way! Simon was so happy again!") Seconded Hyman as he squared off
against Kingdom member Spike Harley who was seconded by Choppah. Pandemonium
broke out however between the two sides during the match and the result was
the dastardly Kingdom leaving the Piemen laying. ("He had never forgiven
me for beating him up at KOTR. Even though I wrote him and said I was sorry.")
Was scheduled to face Choppah 1-on-1 at Lunatic Fringe 98 in the war to settle
the score. Before that match, however, Simon seconded Hyman in a match against
Brother Fiend, who manhandled Hyman and left Simon nearly unconscious as
well. ("He was hurting my brother. I had to try to do something.") The
opportunistic Choppah made his way to the ring at this point, however, and
finished the job that Brother Fiend started handily defeating Simon. ("Why
did everyone hate the Piemen that day?") Wrestled more frequently as the
Piemen tag-team with Hyman, and began achieving instant success with an
impressive victory over DeathMask & Meankind. ("That was my first victory!
With Hyman by my side! I couldn't have been happier!") Were an entrant into
the MWF tag title tournament which came about when the belts were vacated
by the NWA's Brother Fiend and Bobo Bravado. Were scheduled to square off
against Choppah and Spike, but Spike apparently had bike problems and no-showed
the match. Choppah enlisted Phantom Shadow to stand in for Spike, but Phantom
ended up turning on Choppah, spooky-cushion-ing Choppah, Simon, and Hyman
before the Piemen were able to regroup and double-team and defeat Choppah
to advance in the tournament. ("See! The Piemen beat Choppah! Ha ha Mr.
Smarty-pants!") Went on in the tag tourney to defeat Magpie Magee and brief
Magee associate Chester Travalenee and advancing to the finals before coming
up short against the tourney winners Beach Crew Big Kahuna and Beach Blanket
Bobby. ("We almost became the champions! We tried, but Beach Boys beat us.")
After losing the match, howver, the Piemen congratulated the victors and
both teams celebrated to the delight of the fans. Simon and Hyman closed
out 1998 by teaming with Magpie Magee against the Reds and Chester Travalenee
following a falling out between the Magees and Chester. The Reds attacked
Chester after the match, however, and the Piemen made the save on Chester's
behalf. ("The Reds were mean to Chester just like so very many people are
mean in the MWF. We saved him! And now he can dance with us!") As always,
Simon Glieman anticipates an excellent 1999. With brother Hyman by his side,
the duo should try to position themselves once again for a MWF World Tag
Team title match.
