This Week in HWA History: Apr. 28th – May 4th

Happy Sunday everyone! Welcome to another week in HWA history as we exit April and head into May!

Site Updates
No site updates to report this week as I’ve been busy with work and other things. However, I’m still working on compiling more title histories and will have those up soon. My goal is to have all the title histories up by the end of May, which will complete phase 1 of this site.

Phase 2 will begin this summer as I want to reach out to former HWA personnel (wrestlers, announcers, backstage, etc.) and get their memories of the HWA. Not sure if this will be in written form, audio form or a mix of both but I’ll have more details on that once phase 1 is finished.

Happy Sunday everyone! Here’s what’s new this week on the site:

Site Updates
Yes! There are things to report this week!

* I added the HWA Heavyweight Title history and the histories for all the BPW titles (BPW Heavyweight and BPW Tag Team). I’m still compiling the histories for the HWA Tag Team Titles, HWA Cruiserweight/TV Title and HWA American Luchacore Titles. I’m aiming to have those up in the next few weeks.

* Three new matches have been added to the HWA on YouTube page … Reed Bentley & Lightning Tim Lutz vs. Brutally Handsome (Tom Bellman & Donny Redd) (HWA Hysteria, 3/19/11); Reed Bentley & Tripp Cassidy vs. Aaron McCormick & Doug Charlez (HWA Adrenaline, 8/9/11) and Reed Bentley vs. Jake Crist (HWA Adrenaline, 1/10/12). I’m always on the lookout for new matches to add to the page.

This Week in HWA History: Apr. 7th – 13th

Hi everyone! Welcome to another week of This Week in HWA History!

Yes, I know this is a day late but I’ve been so involved with watching a bunch of shows over the past few days that I never got around to posting this. There were a bunch of great shows that happened over the weekend including Action Wrestling’s DEAN~!!!, ROH Supercard of Honor, NXT Stand and Deliver, Joey Janela’s Spring Break, TJPW and of course WrestleMania itself! There was a match on WrestleMania Night 2 that had a pretty distinct HWA flair to it. LA Knight, who competed in HWA as Deuce and Dick Rick, took on AJ Styles, who had a handful of HWA appearances over the years. The match was good and I was excited to see LA Knight finally get a featured match at the biggest show of the year.

I haven’t done much in the way of updating the site either over this week but with the hoopla of WrestleMania dying down now, I can get back to more regular updates. My goal for this month is to get most (if not all) of the title histories up on the site and continue working through YouTube to find more HWA matches.

Speaking of matches, here are this week’s historical results!

Show of the Week: HWA Hysteria 2010

A new feature I’ll be starting up here over the course of this site will be the “Show of the Week” where I highlight matches and forgotten events from the archives. Some weeks I may have the full show, some weeks there may only be a handful of matches that I’ve pieced together. Regardless, it’s a chance to get some lesser known footage out there in front of people who may not have seen it.

First up in the series … HWA Hysteria 2010. Only three matches from the show have surfaced online. Here they are in the order they appeared on the card.

Ron Mathis vs. Shank Barzini

HWA American Luchacore Title: Jesse Emerson [c] vs. Dustin Rayz

HWA Tag Team Championship: The Noble Bloods (Sir Chadwick Cruise & Lord Matthew Taylor) [c] vs. The Hybrids (Donovan Cain & Jason Lyte)

Other matches on the card were:
*Jeremy Madrox vs. Sid Fabulous
*Kyle Haven vs. Jock Samson
*Tarek the Legend vs. American Kickboxer #2
*King Vu vs. “The Madness” Chris Hall in a No Holds Barred Match

Full results from the show can be found in the 2010 results section

Check back on Easter Sunday for the next update!

This Week in HWA History (March 24th – 30th)

Happy Sunday everyone! Here’s this week’s site updates and historical cards!

Site Updates
*Added multiple TV matches from 2001-02 to the HWA on YouTube page
*Corrected results from the 3/17/04 and 3/20/06 events
*Added BPW results to the results section

With the HWA on YouTube page up and going, my next priority is to compile the title histories over the next few weeks. I’m hoping to have all those up by the end of April. I’m also still sorting through an HWA playlist I’ve found on YouTube covering a lot of the 2011-12 Hamilton era. Will get those linked up on the YouTube page soon.

Once the title histories are online, then I can move onto Phase 2 of the site which is reaching out to people for Q&A’s or interviews. Currently making a list of who I could reach out to and what the best format would be. Maybe a podcast? Not sure yet. More to come as we get closer to summer on that but would love to hear some ideas!

Celebrating CyberClash

Today in 2006, the first HWA internet PPV, Cyberclash, took place from the HWA Arena in Cincinnati. I’ve seen the whole show once, when I had the DVD, but have not seen it since. Over the years, the whole show has become elusive to find but matches from it have occasionally popped up on YouTube. I’ve been able to locate four matches from the show and here they are in their entirety on this, the 18th anniversary of CyberClash!

HWA Tag Team Championship: Foreign Intelligence (Quinten Lee & Ala Hussein) [c] vs. TJ Dalton & Matt Dillinger vs. JT Stahr & Eric Darkstorm vs. The GP Code (Andre Heart & Deja Vu)

Best of Seven Series Match #7 Ladder Match: Crazy J vs. Lotus

HWA Heavyweight Title: Pepper Parks [c] vs. Jimmy Yang

Steel Cage Match: Jon Moxley vs. Cody Hawk

I hope you enjoy these long lost matches from the first CyberClash! If anyone out there reading this has the full show or any additional matches from the show, please feel free to reach out to me at historyofhwa@gmail.com and let me know!

This Week in HWA History (March 17 – 23)

Happy Sunday everyone! Welcome to the new version of “This Week in HWA History” here on The History of HWA. If you remember, I did this for just about a year over on Substack. While it got some traction, it didn’t do as well as I had hoped and when I launched this site at the beginning of March, it kind of made that redundant. However, with me getting more and more things up and running here at The History of HWA, I thought it might be beneficial to bring in back in a more abbreviated form. In this new version, I’ll hit on site updates and go through the results that happened during the week.

Site Updates

I’ve added a new page with links to any HWA footage I’ve been able to find on YouTube. I’m not sure how many matches are on there but I would say there’s well over 100-200 matches including the matches I couldn’t find exact dates for. I will add to this as I come across more matches. I’ve also found complete TV episodes from the developmental era that I’ll be linking to as well. For now, take some time and dig into tons and tons of HWA footage!

Site and Future Content Update – 3/9/24

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to check in briefly and kind of explain what I’m hoping to do with this site in the future. Behind the scenes I’m working on new sections for title histories and HWA on YouTube. Each one will take a bit of time because of the amount of content involved but once I get them to an acceptable point, I’ll slowly roll them out. For the title histories page, I’m starting with the HWA Heavyweight Title and working from there. For the HWA on YouTube page, I’m going through the old HWA official YouTube page and cataloging/linking all the matches on there.

As I get more and more content online with this site, I’ll put up blog posts like this just to let everyone know what’s happening.

Now, as for future content, I hope to eventually make this a living and breathing site regarding the history of the HWA. I’m thinking of eventually launching a podcast and reaching out to HWA folks for interviews, be it audio or written. I want this site to tell a story and that story can only be told by those who were there. That being said, I’m aiming for sometime in the summer to start reaching out to folks as my main focus right now is getting more historical content online, such as the title histories page.

Before I leave, just a quick note on about the History of HWA Twitter account. I will be starting up with the daily results and whatnot again soon.

Thanks for your continued support of this project and as always, please spread the word!
