HAGERSTOWN, MD - Rocky’s Pizza has been voted number one in Hagerstown for their famous pies, but now they are known for another reason; professional wrestling.

When you see the father-son tag team, they are usually tossing pizzas. However, they tossed their opponents around a wrestling ring.

“I was really nervous about it. I was facing a guy who is 6′5″ and an ex-WWE guy, so I wasn’t taking him very lightly, that is for sure. I was very nervous, but I was very prepared,” said Vinnie Schiano, Di Cola, Owner of Rocky’s Pizza.

Vinnie and his son, Cocky Rocky, took on the hated team of Corporal Punishment and Gusten Uberstud. Now, Cocky Rocky is no new name in the ring. But, his father has only been training for the past two months.

“I was really thinking about protecting my father at all costs,” said Cocky Rocky Dicola, NWL Wrestler.

It was his fatherly instincts that got Vinnie in the ring and the support of the crowd that kept him going.
 
“It was so exciting to hear my family yelling because it gave me more power and more strength to go on with it. I was scared at first when I got in there, but then I just heard the fans going off and I said to myself, ‘I know I can do this,’” said Schiano Di Cola.

“When we won the match, the last thing I said to my dad was, ‘I love you man, thank you.’ It really meant a lot to me to share that with my father. A lot of people I know would love to do it, but I’m glad to say I got to do it,” said Di Cola.

Having the father-son duo step into the ring is part of what the wrestling organization is all about. Not only do they entertain their audience, but it’s good family fun at the same time.

“We keep it as clean; good versus evil without all the dirty things and the bad words and the gestures that you will see at a lot of these other places,” said John Rambo, NWL Instructor.

The winners couldn’t let their opponents go home empty-handed. Fans got to smear some of the famous Rocky’s Pizza in the losers’ faces. After the win, Vinnie said he plans on continuing his training as a professional wrestler.
