Results – HWA: Trouble in Paradise – 7/18/09
Posted on July 20, 2009 by V.L. Stricklett
The Norwood Recreation Center played host to HWA: Trouble In Paradise this past Saturday night, here’s what went down…
The night kicked off with Matt Taylor defeating young Dylan Bostic in the opening match.
Next up, Dave Crist battled Jason Lyte but after interference from Tim Donst caused Dave to lose to Lyte, Dave would then find himself in a second match against Donst.
Once again outside interference would cost Dave the match, but this time from an unlikely source… fired HWA referee, Danny O’Brien. Who we later learned is now the licensed manager of Tim Donst and The Hybrids!
Tag team action was up next as V-Rad and Jesse Emerson got a measure of revenge on JT Stahr and “The Madness” Chris Hall much to the delight of the crowd in Norwood.
“Rookie Sensation” Ryan Campbell and “Astonishing” Aaron Williams hooked it up for the HWA American Luchacore Title in a match that saw Campbell push himself to new limits but champion Aaron Williams would be the man to come out on top in this hard hitting, highly competitive match.
Jon Moxley answered and won Kaden Assad’s open challenge ending Assad’s “win streak” after just one match.
Mixed Martial Arts and Pro Wrestling collided when Norwood’s own Dominique Steele defeated one half of the HWA Tag Team Champions Donovan Cain by TKO in the third round of the special exhibition bout.
“Sweet Sexy Sensation” Andre Heart made his final HWA appearance in Norwood serving as the special ring announcer for the main event match… and what a main event it was.
For nearly thirty minutes “Deja Vu” Richard Phillips and the HWA Heavyweight Champion Jake Crist took it to one another with the richest prize in the HWA hanging in the balance. Vu came close, maybe closer than anyone in defeating Jake Crist, but in the end it was Jake Crist pulling out the victory just as he has done for more than a year.
After the match, Andre Heart praised both men. Deja Vu then wanted to share a few words when he was interrupted by Matt Taylor.
Taylor voiced his displeasure with Andre Heart for abandoning The Love Connection. Jake Crist heard enough of Taylor and shut him up with a superkick… but then the unimaginable happened as Deja Vu delivered a Stank Line to Crist. Andre Heart immediately got in Vu’s face and after Vu claimed he had no problem with Andre only Jake, he delivered a Stank Line to Andre as well.
It looked like Matt Taylor was about to get more of the same, but instead Deja Vu shook the man’s hand and the two left the ring together in what was a surreal moment.
