Results – HWA at The Sorg Opera House – 7/29/09
Posted on July 31, 2009 by V.L. Stricklett
The fourth floor ballroom of The Sorg hosted another night of HWA wrestling action…
Chris The Brain conducted an interview with the man who is now the longest reigning HWA Heavyweight Champion in history, Jake Crist.
Jake talked about the milestone and his opponent for later in the evening, Ala Hussein, before the interview was interrupted by King Vu and his Vu Love Connection.
Vu got in Jake’s face and issued a challenge to the winner of the Jake/Ala match to meet him with the title on the line at HWA Road To Destiny on Saturday Night August 22nd in Norwood.
Two of the best in the HWA competed in the opening match of the evening as HWA American Luchacore Champion “Astonishing” Aaron Williams and “The Most Dangerous Man in the HWA” Jon Moxley fought to a twenty minute time limit draw.
King Vu made his presence felt, this time in an official capacity as he squared off with one half of Utterly Fabulous, Sid Fabulous.
It was obvious that not only did Vu want to beat Sid he wanted to put him out of action the same way he did Ryan Campbell a week earlier. Fortunately for Sid, V-Rad was watching and when Vu continued the punishment after the bell, V-Rad showed up and issued a challenge to the self-proclaimed King.
Vu said he would accept any challenge and just like that an impromptu match began.
V-Rad put up a fight, but he too succumbed to the raw power and the animalistic offense of King Vu, making Vu 2-0 for the night.
Vu’s henchmen, The Love Connection (Matt Taylor and Chad Cruise with Shawn Bond in their corner) were in tag team competition with the team of Hardcore Religion.
The Love Connection used the numbers advantage through out the match, eventually causing Beech to snap and bring out the leather strap he’ll be using on Friday in his match with “The Madness” Chris Hall, to clear the ring and forcing the referee to disqualify the team of Hardcore Religion.
Then in the main event of the evening, HWA Heavyweight Champion Jake Crist defeated Ala Hussein in another successful title defense. But the real story was what happened after the match…
King Vu showed up with Matt Taylor, Chad Cruise and Shawn Bond armed with steel chairs. Vu and Ala then proceeded to destroy Jake Crist inside the ring, with Vu delivering a series of big splashes while Ala held the champion down. Meanwhile, The Love Connection were fending off Aaron Williams, Ron Mathis, V-Rad and Sid Fabulous who were trying their best to get in the ring and help Jake.
The Psycho Circus nearly came early as the carnage continued, finally HWA President Tim Tatum showed up and threatened Vu and The Love Connection with suspensions… but the damage had been done. Jake Crist needed assistance leaving the ring, clutching his ribs and having trouble breathing.
The early diagnosis is Jake has severely bruised ribs and he is not scheduled to compete at Friday’s Psycho Circus or next Wednesday’s A Fight at the Opera event.
