WHO GETS THE SHOT?
Our special HWA Over The Top Thursday was an interesting
evening. We came into the event thinking we would know who would
challenge for the HWA Heavyweight Title at next month's HWA Road
To Destiny, but The Code had other ideas.
HWA
Heavyweight Champion Gerome Phillips was the proverbial one man
gang as he illegally entered the battle royal destroying
everyone in his path. Now manager Andre Davis stated on the
latest episode of The Pulse that there was nobody on the
independent wrestling scene who could challenge Gerome Phillips,
I know first hand after a conclave with the HWA Championship
Committee that a challenger has been named and will be announced
tomorrow night at The Sorg!
Let's hope
that tomorrow night's Six Pack Challenge will yield us a #1
Contender for the HWA American Luchacore Championship at HWA
Road To Destiny.
An eclectic
and talented group of individuals should make this a highly
competitive match and one that any of the participants whether
it is Tarek The Legend, Dustin Rayz, Jeremy Madrox, Jesse
Emerson, Chris Hall and American Kickboxer 2 has a legit shot at
winning.
We'll also
know who the winner of the Six Pack Challenge will meet for the
HWA American Luchacore Title, it will either be the reigning
champion Ron Mathis or his challenger tomorrow night, Sid
Fabulous.
Sid has had
Mathis' number on three separate occasions, but none of that
matters now, he needs to pull it together and get it done with
the championship at stake.
Mathis plays
the HWA American Luchacore rules like a fiddle, but given his
recent matches with Sid, there's got to be at least a little
doubt in the back of his mind that he can survive the challenge.
I'm an
anticipating the return of The Hybrids tomorrow night in
Middletown, as they prepare to be one of four teams going for
the vacant HWA Tag Team Titles at HWA Road To Destiny. Donovan
Cain and Jason Lyte have not appeared in tag team action since
March, and from the conversations I've had with Donovan, I can
tell you that they are more than ready to get back into HWA
action.
So ready in
fact that the former two time HWA Tag Team Champions have issued
an open challenge for any team to face them and I'm anxious to
see who steps up.
I'm also
anxious to see who else gets an invite to participate in the
Four Team Elimination Match next month in Norwood.
Even with only
50% of the participants announced in that Four Team Elimination
Match it is still hard to bet against The Irish Airborne, who
are now 3-0 since their reinstatement earlier this month, that
momentum could be stopped courtesy of The Code tomorrow night.
Dylan Bostic
disappointed a lot of the HWA fans who knew him from some of his
previous matches in the HWA when he took the low road in his
match with "Southern Angel" Kyle Haven.
Bostic
defeated Haven with a handful of tights, putting a black eye on
what was meant to be a good clean match between two young men
looking to climb the ladder of success in the Heartland
Wrestling Association.
From what he
said on The Pulse, I don't believe that Dylan saw the err of his
ways but this week he won't have the element of surprise in his
favor, Kyle Haven knows what he's getting into this time around
and will be looking to even things up with Bostic tomorrow night
at The Sorg.
