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.
