Bryan Danielson to Appear at HWA: Road to Destiny

It is the Heartland Wrestling Association’s summer time extravaganza and for the second straight year it will be hosted at the Donald E. Prues Center in Norwood, OH on Friday Night August 20, 2010!

This year’s HWA Road To Destiny will be the biggest in history with all three HWA championships up for grabs, and a special appearance by Bryan Danielson aka RAW Superstar Daniel Bryan.

HWA Road To Destiny will have a special 7:30 PM Bell Time. Only a handful of tickets remain as of Tuesday August 17th, remaining tickets will be on sale at our Wednesday Night August 18th event at The Sorg.

Now a look at this year’s HWA Road To Destiny card…

This year’s HWA Road To Destiny will be headlined by an independent wrestling dream match as the recently dethroned Jon Moxley goes on one one with a man many consider the best wrestler in the world, Bryan Danielson.

This promises to be an epic confrontation between two phenomenal athletes and a main even you will not want to miss.

The monster Gerome Phillips will defend his HWA Heavyweight Title at HWA Road To Destiny against “Psycho Shooter” Drake Younger.

Phillips has been an ultra-violent wrecking machine but will he be able to destroy Drake Younger, a master of ultra-violence!?

Younger is no stranger to gold in his travels around the world, but could be getting his first taste of HWA gold on August 20th!

The HWA Tag Team Championship is currently vacant.

HWA President Tim Tatum has ordered a Four Way Elimination Match will take place at HWA Road To Destiny to fill the vacancy.

Three sets of former HWA Tag Team Champions (The Irish Airborne, The Hybrids & The Noble Bloods) and the current OCW Tag Team Champions (The Heat Seekers) comprise the field of four teams that will compete to become the new HWA Tag Team Champions.

It will be champion against former champion when Ron Mathis will defend against the man he defeated to become HWA American Luchacore Champion in controversial back in May, Jesse Emerson.

Emerson earned the rematch by outlasting five other competitors in a Six Pack Challenge and if that match was any indication, Emerson is both physically and mentally ready to challenge Mathis and regain the HWA American Luchacore title.

But give the devil his due, Ron Mathis has had a great deal of success in thwarting challenger after challenger by any means necessary and beating him is easier said than done.

The last time these two met in Norwood nothing was settled, but at HWA Road To Destiny things could come to a brutal end when American Kickboxer 2 and Tarek The Legend collide in a Taped Fist Match!

This one will be a hard hitting contest to say the least…

Dustin Rayz took full advantage of “The Madness” Chris Hall’s open challenge and stacked the deck against the powerhouse in this 2 on 1 match.

Will Hall be able to overcome the odds? Or will the cunning of Dustin Rayz reign supreme?

Chikara Superstar Tim Donst will make a special appearance at HWA Road To Destiny and he hand picked his opponent for the evening, Chrisjen Hayme.

Hayme has only appeared in the HWA once before, but is a regular with Insanity Pro Wrestling, where he’s building up quite a reputation.

Two HWA fan favorites will meet in this special added attraction when Sid Fabulous goes on one one with Shank Barzini.

Sid has been on a real roll in Norwood, in fact he is undefeated in Norwood in 2010, however Shank Barzini has a great deal of potential and the mentoring of “Bad Attitude” Brian Beech!

HWA Returns to The Sorg Opera House on 8/18/10

Just 48 hours before HWA Road To Destiny, the HWA’s weekly tradition continues at The Sorg (65 S Main St – Middletown, OH 45044) on Wednesday Night August 18th!

Bell time is 7:30 PM and all tickets are only $5!

A most unique match has already been signed for this Wednesday…

SID FABULOUS vs. “THE BUTCHER” JEREMY MADROX – HAIR vs. MUSTACHE

Two weeks ago, Madrox and running buddy Ron Mathis cut some of the hair of Sid Fabulous. That incident lit a fire under Sid, who went to HWA officials and demanded a match with Madrox, where he’d put his long blonde locks on the line IF Madrox put his trademark mustache on the line.

Madrox obliged and now one of the two will be receiving a free makeover this Wednesday in Middletown!

JON MOXLEY vs. HWA AMERICAN LUCHACORE CHAMPION “RELENTLESS” RON MATHIS – NON TITLE MATCH

48 hours before the biggest match in his HWA career, Jon Moxley will step into the ring with the reigning HWA American Luchacore Champion Ron Mathis in non-title action.

THE IRISH AIRBORNE vs. DUSTIN RAYZ & AARON XTREME

The Irish Airborne are looking to make history on Friday Night in Norwood, but they will be severely tested this Wednesday Night when they take on the tag team combination of Dustin Rayz and his protégé Aaron Xtreme.

Buckle your seat belts for some fast paced tag team action this Wednesday at The Sorg!

LOUIS LYNDON vs. TAREK THE LEGEND

Louis Lyndon will be back in HWA action this week and his opponent is none other than Tarek The Legend.

Tarek will have to deal with American Kickboxer 2 on Friday, but on Wednesday he’ll have his hands full with another martial arts expert in the form of Louis Lyndon.

THE NOBLE BLOODS vs. “THE MADNESS” CHRIS HALL & “SOUTHERN ANGEL” KYLE HAVEN

The combination of Hall and Haven proved to successful this past Wednesday against the debuting Smokin’ Aces, but how well will they fare when they step into the ring with the former HWA Tag Team Champions The Noble Bloods this Wednesday Night at The Sorg?

Lord Matthew Taylor & Sir Chadwick Cruise will be in the zone as they are looking to regain their HWA Tag Team titles on Friday Night, but if they look past Hall & Haven they could be in for quite a surprise.

JESSE EMERSON vs. “THE HOMEWRECKER” DYLAN BOSTIC

Jesse Emerson will be looking to bounce back from a controversial loss last week to Jeremy Madrox, by defeating young upstart, Dylan Bostic.

Will the self-proclaimed “Homewrecker” wreck Jesse’s plans? Or will Jesse go into his HWA American Luchacore Title Match on Friday with a win?

Former HWA Star Lance Cade Passes Away at 29

We are sad to report that former WWE superstar Lance Cade (real name Lance McNaught) was found dead today. He was 29 years old and leaves behind two young daughters.

Cade was trained by former WWE superstar Shawn Michaels in late 1990’s at Michaels’ wrestling academy in San Antonio, Texas. He was released from WWE after an incident on an airplane where Cade took too many painkillers and went into a seizure. He was brought back to WWE developmental last year but was never used on television and was released again earlier this year.

Cade spoke openly in several interviews about his struggle with sleeping pills. He had been working for independent promotions and in Japan over the past year.

WWE.com confirmed the reports, posting this message:

“World Wrestling Entertainment was informed Friday morning by Lance McNaught’s father that he has passed away of apparent heart failure. WWE extends its deepest condolences to the McNaught family.

Mr. McNaught was under contract from March 2003 to October 2008 and performed under the name “Lance Cade.” He returned to FCW, WWE’s developmental territory, in September 2009, and was released in April 2010.”

“Lance Cade” is currently the top trending Twitter topic in the United States.
