Some 10 years after retiring from the
hurly-burly world of American professional wrestling, Mr X -
the mysterious reporter from Taxi Globe – suddenly found
himself in the centre of an intriguing comeback centred
around Dial-a-Cab!
Mr X was long suspected as being one and the same person as the
notorious former Call Sign columnist, Big Al – something the
Big One always denied – and Taxi Globe’s other chief
gossiper, Lana Sherif. Rumours later surfaced connecting all
three with the current Editor of Call Sign, Alan Fisher.
Alan has always denied knowing anything about Mr X, Big Al
or Lana Sherif.
However, a message was sent to Call Sign’s Editor asking if he knew
anyone who might know the whereabouts of Mr X, to contact
former DaC security guard Loli Tshikeva. Editor Al contacted
Mr X within hours…
When security guard Loli Tshikeva worked at Dial-a-Cab, it would
have been difficult not to notice the fact that he was built
like a brick wall! He had arrived in London from his
hometown of Kinshasa in the African State of Zaire at the
age of 31, having previously been Zaire’s amateur wrestling
champion. It was not unusual for Loli to fight in the
national stadium in front of huge crowds of over 100,000!
But why did he wear a mask…?
Well, his father was involved in a plan to get rid of a dictatorial
African President and was mysteriously killed in the
process. Loli swore revenge against the secret service
organisation that he claimed had murdered his father.
He claims that he took revenge, but will not speak about it.
During his time at Brunswick House, he got talking to fellow
security officer of the time Joe Mensah (now in our IT
department) – who also originates from Zaire. He told Loli
that he suspected it was a DaC driver who was writing a
regular American pro-wrestling column in Taxi Globe under
the name of Mr X and who seemed to have many wrestling
contacts.
Loli contacted Mr X and was put in touch with a group who
promoted pro-wrestling in Kent. |
MR X RETURNS FROM THE ABYSS
To Help DaC’s Big Papa
T…!

Mr X with wrestling manager Bobby 'The
Brain' Heenan He went
for a training session and was taken on immediately. Loli
accepted on the condition that he could wear his mask, as he
did not want to be recognised by a former Congo security
agents who he suspected was still looking for him. He now
wears his mask constantly, wrestling under the name of Big
Poppa T…
Big Papa’s strength is phenomenal, but not surprisingly he is very
bitter and this is reflected in his wrestling. On one
occasion he broke his opponent’s leg and was fined because
he refused to apologise. He is the current European champion
and considering his frightening persona, is very popular
with fans. But he told Call Sign:
"I appreciate what Mr X did for me, but I do not care whether
people like me or not, I must always win – there is no other
way. But now I must |

spread my wings and take America
just as I have captured Europe…"
So Big Papa T came back to Dial-a-Cab to search for Mr X,
hoping that the man of mystery could help him get a place in
an American wrestling organisation. Following Editor Al’s
intervention, Mr X mysteriously appeared and promised to try
to help. He contacted an old friend in Florida, who in
return has spoken to the former manager of Hulk Hogan –
Jimmy "mouth of the South" Hart. Time will tell whether DaC
are to be linked to a future wrestling world champion!
"It doesn’t matter whether it is the WWE, TNA or any other
organisation, I will tear them all apart," Big Papa T
told us. "The question is whether they will want me to go
and upset their cosy applecart!"
