Posted: February 27, 2010
HWA Championship Wednesday is in the history books and we now look ahead to next Wednesday March 3rd and the HWA’s next live event at The Sorg (65 S Main St) in downtown Middletown!
All tickets for our Wednesday night events are only $5. And the action gets underway at 7:30 PM!
Signed for this week’s event…
THE IRISH AIRBORNE (DAVE & JAKE CRIST) vs. THE INTERNATIONAL RIOT SQUAD (KADEN ASSAD & RON MATHIS)
Things got very personal between the teams of Dave & Jake Crist (The Irish Airborne) and Kaden Assad & Ron Mathis (The International Riot Squad) when they both got involved in each other’s business this past Wednesday, including Assad and Mathis costing Airborne the HWA Tag Team Titles.
This coming Wednesday it won’t be about title shots or championships, it will be very, very personal.
A SPECIAL SKILLS EXHIBITION with KID FABULOUS and his trainer AMERICAN KICKBOXER
Back on February 17th, American Kickboxer showed up at The Sorg and offered to take Kid Fabulous under his wing and teach him what he needed to know to defeat Tarek The Legend.
Now this Wednesday, after two weeks of intensive training with both Kickboxer and Necro Butcher, Kid Fabulous is ready to put on a special skills exhibition… something tells us Tarek The Legend will be watching very closely.
“THE MADNESS” CHRIS HALL vs. SHAWN BOND
It will be power against power when “The Madness” Chris Hall goes against the muscle of King Vu’s Court, Shawn Bond!
The experience edge goes to Hall in this one, but the numbers game could cost him as Bond will no doubt have the Court in his corner.
HWA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION JON MOXLEY vs. “THE SOUTHERN ANGEL” KYLE HAVEN – NON TITLE MATCH
Jon Moxley is anxiously awaiting his next challenger for the coveted HWA Heavyweight Title, but this Wednesday a young rookie will have his chance to go toe to toe with the best the HWA has to offer as “The Southern Angel” Kyle Haven has the biggest match of his young career against “The Most Dangerous Man in the HWA” Jon Moxley.
HWA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE NOBLE BLOODS vs. TERMINAL VELOCITY – NON TITLE MATCH
Lord Matthew Taylor and Sir Chadwick Cruise will not put their newly acquired titles on the line this coming Wednesday when they step into the ring with the newest team in the HWA, Terminal Velocity (Dameon Daniels & Aaron Xtreme) stating that the team of Daniels and Xtreme have not earned a shot at the belts.
For fans who were at the show last week, many would question the way the Noble Bloods earned those titles.
KING VU vs. SID FABULOUS
Last week was a rough week for both King Vu and Sid Fabulous.
Vu tapped out in the middle of the ring in what could have been his last chance at regaining the HWA Heavyweight Title while Jon Moxley is champion and Sid Fabulous had to say goodbye to Kid Fabulous and the team of Utterly Fabulous as they agreed to go their separate ways.
Now it is a fresh start for both men when they step into the ring this Wednesday!
ALSO SCHEDULED TO COMPETE: HWA AMERICAN LUCHACORE CHAMPION JESSE EMERSON, DUSTIN RAYZ and more!

Results – HWA: All or Nothing – 1/29/10
Posted: January 30, 2010
On Friday January 29th, the Heartland Wrestling Association returned to downtown Cincinnati for HWA All or Nothing and it was a night to remember!
The show featured seven matches and a who’s who of wrestling talent appeared on the card. Andre Hart welcomed us to the show, playing the “special host” of the evening. After spending a few minutes talking to the crowd, he introduced commentators Ryan Campbell and Chris The Brain, along with ring announcer Parker Riley who got the action underway! The first match of the night was between The Noble Bloods and Utterly Fabulous, with Tucker Carson as the referee. The Noble Bloods weren’t in a joking around kind of mood and seemed determined to take out recent frustrations on Sid and Kid Fabulous. Matt Taylor and Chad Cruise would take turns beating down Kid Fabulous, never allowing Kid to tag in his partner. Matt and Chad really seemed to be on their A game, flawlessly executing their game plan to cut the ring in half and isolate Kid in their half of the ring. Kid struggled for well over five minutes to tag in Sid, who was in his corner desperately hoping for the tag. The Noble Bloods, with Shawn Bond in their corner, played the numbers game and everything appeared to be working in their favor. While Chad was beating down Kid, Sid was able to tag in behind Chad’s back, came in the ring and rolled him up for the surprise win! The crowd exploded as Utterly Fabulous danced their way to the locker room, leaving The Noble Bloods in utter disbelief standing in the ring!
The second match of the night was for the American Luchacore Championship. Jesse Emerson was making his first title defense after only winning the title two nights prior. His challenger would be former champion Aaron Williams – the man who never actually lost the title. Brandon Tolle would be the referee and the match was contested under Luchacore rules. The crowd was split as to who to cheer for in the beginning, with both men getting nice reactions. The match was very evenly contested with both men seeming to have each other scouted well. The early going saw lots of mat wrestling, quite back and forth, until a low bridge by Aaron to the action the to the floor. The action picked up following a dive by Aaron to the floor and this is when the intensity level of the match picked up. After brawling on the floor, the match returned to the ring where the pace and intensity continued to escalate. The match crescendoed towards its dramatic final moments, where Jesse was attempting to close things out with his Alabama Slam finisher but Aaron was able to counter. A series of near falls for both men kept the crowd on their edge of their seats and when Aaron hit a top rope frog splash, the audience thought it was over, but Jesse kicked out at the last possible second! Aaron missed a kick, flew off the ropes and was caught by Jesse for the Alabama Slam for the win! Jesse went for a handshake post match but in a surprising turn of events, Aaron refused and walked away. This begs the question: Why Aaron? Hopefully we get answers in the near future as to why Aaron acted the way he did.
Match number three was a four way dance between Tarek The Legend, Chris “The Madness” Hall, Shank Barzini and “New Attitude” Ron Mathis. Tucker Carson would ref this wild affair and it was not an enviable task to say the least. Ron Mathis started things off by slapping Madness, who proceeded to press slam Mathis high in the air. It was here, less than a minute into the match that all control was lost over this contest and the action sprawled out all over the ringside area. Mathis and Shank’s issues are well documented and these two never disappoint when they get their hands on each other. Madness and Tarek don’t seem to mind hurting anybody and were both going full force for the duration of the contest. Early on, Shank dove over the top taking out Madness and Tarek. Mathis slid in the ring and then dove on top of all three opponents. Tarek would make in into the ring next, setting up a chair and spring boarding off the chair over the top rope, taking out his foes. In the most shocking moment of all, Madness would rise to his feet first and not to be outdone, Madness dove over the top taking all three opponents out! After everyone got to their feet, the brawl continued. Mathis perched himself on the top rope, as Shank and Madness cut him off. They were attempting a double suplex as Tarek climbed up behind Mathis and hit a sunset flip on all three men! The crowd was standing in unison at this point, waiting to see what else these men could pull off. Each man would make pinfall attempts, each broken up by someone else. Madness got a near fall on Mathis, followed by getting a near fall on Shank. With both Mathis and Shank laid out, Tarek picked his moment perfectly, hitting Madness and pinning Shank for the win!
The fourth match was for the HWA Heavyweight Title. King Vu’s entrance was like something out of a Hollywood red carpet event, with The King’s Court making royal entrances, complete with a lady dropping roses, two gladiators protecting the Court and The King’s Court dressed in designer threads. Vu made his way out, boldly telling the crowd that he was leaving as champion again. Jon Moxley came out next, looking focused and ready to defend his title. Senior official Joe Kopasz would be the ref for this historic title match after after he gave his instructions, the match was underway. King Vu and Mox proved quickly that while they made a good team, they make better enemies. Vu tried to force Mox to kiss his hand, to which Mox replied by spitting in Vu’s face. There would be no stopping these two warriors from here as they tore into each other with a ferocious intensity. There was nothing pretty about this match folks as Mox and King Vu seemed hell bent on destroying each other. They traded punches, kicks, chops and even punishing submission holds in their respective quests to leave as the Heavyweight Champion. The dramatic conclusion of this match saw King Vu nearly ripping Mox’s head off with a lariat before climbing to the top rope. Mox caught Vu and knocked him down, got a near fall which he turned into a STF. Vu escaped and again nearly ripped Mox’s head off with a lariat. Vu made a mistake here though, playing up to the crowd, which gave Mox a chance to roll Vu up for the winning pinfall! Jon Moxley is still the HWA Heavyweight Champion!
After intermission, referee Brandon Tolle came out for the next match between Dustin Rayz and Tim Donst. Donst recently has been shunned by the HWA locker room and Rayz feels he’s been disrespected by pretty much everyone lately, so this winning this match would go a long way in helping out both men. The crowd was behind Donst and Rayz spent the early going toying with Donst, leaving the ring and taking his time to get back in. Dustin’s mind games didn’t seem to affect Donst too bad, as he appeared focused on his matchup. Donst offered a handshake to which Dustin responded with a slap to Donst’s face. Donst, although angry, stayed on course and wrestled his style of match instead of letting anger dictate the tempo. Rayz also stuck to his plan of keeping Donst grounded and subtle cheap shots to attempt to rile up both donst and the fans. Dustin settled into a grrove mid way through the match, using leglocks and even a modified camel clutch to control Donst on the mat and his trademark spin kicks when the action was off the mat. Donst stayed in the match though, fighting back with a German suplex into a bridge which got a near fall. Donst’s comeback seemed to be in full force when Dustin pulled a fast one, getting a sneaky pin with his feet on the ropes to win the match. Both men fought a hard match and Tim Donst has to be begging for a rematch after this one.
The sixth match of the night saw Jack Verville upset Kadan Assad. Senior official Joe Kopasz was in charge of the match and the crowd chanted “USA” directed at Kadan for almost the entire match. Verville, a fast, exciting young wrestler, showed explosive quickness and displayed genuine toughness in this match. Kadan controlled most all of the match, seeming to enjoy taking his time beating Verville down for most of the match. Kadan more than once brought his flag into the ring, which nearly encited a riot among fans. The crowd support for Jack Verville seemed to keep him alive during the worst parts of Kadan’s vicious assault on him, including when Kadan had a modified camel clutch applied. The crowd expected that to end the match and when Verville managed to escape, he made several fans for life. Kadan’s frustrations took over here, distracting him and Jack took advantage, rolling up Kadan for a quick pin!
The main event of the evening was a four team Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match for the HWA Tag Team Championship. The Hybrids, The Naptown Dragons and Aeroform all wanted to be the team to take the gold away from reigning champions, Dave and Jake Crist – The Irish Airborne. The Airborne received a heroes welcome as they made their way to the ring. Allow me to apologize ahead of time for not being to do justice to this match. With eight wrestlers fighting all over the building, it was impossible to keep track of every devastating move that was inflicted throughout this war of a match. Longworth Hall – the building the show was held in – is the proud new owner of several holes in the wall as bodies were flying every which way and destroying everything in the wrestler’s path. Tables were smashed, chairs broken over wrestlers heads, ladders used as impaling devices – this was the most brutal match to ever take place in the state of Ohio, the Midwest, the country – ANYWHERE! Early in the match, several wrestlers made their way up to the balcony and while no one was thrown over, it wasn’t for lack of trying. After nearly twenty minutes of mayhem, which saw two HWA referees and several more officals get taken out, Jake Crist climbed the ladder and had the gold in his reach and was able to grab one of the two titles hanging from the ceiling! The crowd exploded, thinking The Irish Airborne had retained, but with no ref, Donovan of the Hybrids tried to take the title from Jake. Senior official Joe Kopasz came out and saw the two men fighting over the title and made his official decision – the match would restart with The Irish Airborne and The Hybrids to determine a winner! While the members of Aeroform and The Naptown Dragons weren’t happy with the decision, fans certainly were as they got to see more of this epic encounter. The fight resumed between the two teams with Jason destroying Jake with a chair. Dave made his way back into the ring to help his brother, only to be double stomped by The Hybrids – stealing an Airborne trademark! The Hybrids set up a table in the corner while Jake set up the ladder. Jake and Dave took out Donovan with their version of the double team double stomp through a table! Jason goes for the save before getting taken out by Dave. With Jake climbing the ladder and both Hybrids knocked out, their manager Danny O’Brien climbed the ladder trying to stop Jake Crist from reaching the gold. Dave drilled Danny with a chair shot to the back and Danny fell off the fifteen foot high ladder through the table left setup in the ring! Jake Crist reached the gold and The Irish Airborne win! Winning would not be enough though, as Dave Crist decided that Danny O’Brien needed to go through another table! Jake jumped off the ladder, destroying Danny with a flying elbow, crushing the table! Will Danny O’Brien ever be seen in the HWA again? After what the Irish Airborne did to him, I’m not expecting to see Danny for a long, long time. A fantastic conclusion to a fantastic night!

Already signed for this week’s show…
TIM DONST vs. DONOVAN CAIN
Tim Donst made a shocking return to The Sorg this past Wednesday when he attacked his former manager, Danny O’Brien.
Donst, who had not appeared on an HWA event since Halloween when he came to the aid of Jesse Emerson in a tag team match against his former Crusade running buddies, The Hybrids, and then paid the price when The Hybrids and O’Brien assaulted him after that match.
Donst got a piece of O’Brien last week, this week he’ll have the opportunity to get his hands on one half of The Hybrids, Donovan Cain!
HWA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION JON MOXLEY vs. DUSTIN RAYZ – NON TITLE MATCH
The newly crowned HWA Heavyweight Champion Jon Moxley can’t concern himself with his first title defense on January 29th against King Vu in downtown Cincinnati when he steps into the ring this Wednesday with the cunning Dustin Rayz.
Rayz says its his time to shine in the HWA now that he is out from under the shadow of The Irish Airborne and there’d be no better way for him to shine than by taking it to the top dog in the HWA, Jon Moxley!
But Moxley may be more dangerous than ever, especially after he was unceremoniously dumped from Royal Violence last week after he and King Vu lost the HWA Tag Team Titles to The Irish Airborne.
HWA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE IRISH AIRBORNE vs. UTTERLY FABULOUS – NON TITLE MATCH
The Irish Airborne did it again… last week at The Sorg, Dave and Jake recaptured the HWA Tag Team Titles for the fifth time when they defeated King Vu and the HWA Heavyweight Champion Jon Moxley.
This week they will take on Utterly Fabulous in non title action! Utterly Fabulous has been on quite the roll, with Sid Fabulous being crowned the first annual HWA Mega Bowl Champion and Utterly Fabulous picking up a win over The Noble Bloods last week. Can the dancing duo keep their momentum going and score a win over the champs?
All this plus… King Vu, Jesse Emerson, Ron Mathis, The Noble Bloods, Shank Barzini, Kaden Assad and more in action!
Results – HWA at The Sorg Opera House – 1/13/10
Posted: January 18, 2010
This past Wednesday January 13th, the HWA returned to The Sorg Opera House for its weekly show, the second of 2010.
Chris The Brain welcomed everyone to the show and then brought out his special guest, Dustin Rayz. Chris asked Rayz why did he turn his back on his now former friends, The Irish Airborne. Dustin replied by saying his friendship with the Crist Brothers transcends wrestling. Dustin said he grew up with Dave and Jake. They were inseparable, that he was practically the third brother. They broke into wrestling together and envisioned themselves on top of the wrestling world together. Dustin said that when he left HWA last year he had no plans to come back. That chapter was closed until Dave called him needing his help. Dustin returned to the HWA not because he wanted to but because his friends needed him to. Upon returning he realized things had changed, that it was more about green hair and goofing off than wrestling. Dustin said he would no longer stand in the shadow of the brothers Crist – its now Dustin Rayz time to shine.
After delivering his heated and emotional interview, Dustin Rayz stepped in the ring for one on one action against HWA rookie Kyle Haven. Haven has yet to earn a victory in HWA but continues to improve each week and fans are taking notice. Dustin insulted “The Southern Angel”, calling him “Cowboy” and asking where his lasso was. The bell rang and they tied up, with Dustin taking an upper hand. The match would last nine minutes and most fans seemed impressed that Haven lasted that long with the veteran. Haven got in his share of offense, which seemed to only anger Rayz more. Dustin would get the win after hitting Kyle with “The Catalyst”. Haven landed right on his neck and laid in the ring motionless for several moments after the match. Medical reports later that night indicated that Haven was ok, just a slight stinger.
The second match of the night featured Ron Mathis against lightweight sensation, Aaron Xtreme. After Aaron entered the ring, Mathis grabbed the microphone and after telling a fan to “educate his ugly children”, he reminded Aaron that it was him, Ron Mathis that ended the career of Brian Beech just a few weeks ago. Mathis told Aaron he had two choices: leave the ring now or wind up like Brian Beech. Aaron Xtreme seemed to be on his way to the back when he thought better of it and attacked Mathis as the bell rang. Aaron started the match off fast and furious with lightening quick offense, including a series of kicks and a spinning headscissors. Mathis would rebound with a stiff elbow to Aaron’s face. Mathis controlled most of the next seven minutes with his trademark offense but Aaron Xtreme was not going down without a fight. He pulled off several nice counters and managed to keep Mathis on his toes. Mathis would not be denied victory and wound up winning the match by submission. After the match Mathis was ready to inflict more damage to his fallen opponent but out of nowhere came Damien Daniels for the save, chasing Mathis out of the ring and saving Aaron.
Danny O’Brien, a paramount orator if there ever was one, came out to address the crowd. Danny mentioned that his team, The Hybrids, aren’t part of the upcoming American Luchacore Title Tournament and that Tim Donst will be. Danny called this an injustice and then pulled out a list of 201 reasons why Donst shouldn’t be a part of the tournament but The Hybrids should be. As Danny began to read his list, Tim Donst came through the crowd in street clothes and snuck up behind Danny. Danny turned around and Donst lifted Danny straight in the air and hit “From Dusk Til Donst”, one of the most breath taking finishers in all of wrestling. Danny was knocked out cold in the middle of the ring. Donst left the ring and headed towards the locker room, where The Irish Airborne and Jesse Emerson stood, blocking him. They told Donst that he needs to prove himself before he’s welcome back.
The Noble Bloods with Shawn Bond, came out for the next match to take on Utterly Fabulous. Utterly Fabulous has made an effort recently to be more serious and its showed. It was just one week ago that Sid Fabulous won the first annual HWA Mega Bowl. This tag team match was very evenly contested the whole way through. The Noble Bloods took every short cut in the book – lots of double and even triple team maneuvers. Shawn Bond’s presence was definitely felt throughout the match. Sid and Kid Fabulous employed lots of unique, fast paced offense and also displayed a genuine toughness that their critics often felt was missing before. The match would last a little more than fifteen minutes and both teams felt victory in their reach at different points. The closing moments of the match saw Kid Fabulous in trouble, in desperate need of making a tag. Matt Taylor had him in the middle of the ring and was positioning Kid for a likely match ending move when Sid tagged Kid without Taylor seeing the tag. Matt hesitated, taunting the crowd and Sid surprised him with a roll up from behind to get the winning pinfall! The Noble Bloods stood in the ring in disbelief as Utterly Fabulous celebrated this huge victory.
Kadan Assad took on Jesse Emerson in the evening’s fourth match. Lots of taunting before the bell by both men. The crowd was fired up, solidly behind Jesse and showering Kadan with chants of “USA!”. Kadan tried to get under Jesse’s skin early, but provoking him and then leaving the ring. When they finally locked up in the ring, they engaged in a test of strength, which Jesse won easily. Kadan stomped on Jesse’s foot and launched into a vicious assault, with lots of kicks to the midsection, eye rakes and uppercuts. Jesse countered with a drop toe hold and whipped Kadan from one corner across the ring to another, connecting with a running clothesline and followed it up with a bulldog. The match would continue to go back and forth, with Jesse controlling and Kadan resorting to underhanded tactics to stay in the match. Ten minutes into the match, Kadan kicked Jesse, who landed on the ref. Kadan went to the outside and grabbed a chair, bringing it into the ring. Instead of using the chair, Kadan laid the chair in the middle of the ring, laid down next to the chair and pretended to be knocked out. Not wanting to get DQ’d for something he didn’t do, Jesse laid down as well! The ref awoke and seemed quite confused. Both men stood up and Kadan grabbed the chair, swung at Jesse and missed. Jesse hooked him with a backslide and got the win! Its worth noting that during this match, a crazed “fan” showed up in dirty, tattered clothing covered in stains. He stared at fans and the wrestlers alike but never got involved. He would stay at ringside through the next match.
The main event of the evening saw The Irish Airborne challenging HWA Tag Team Champions, Royal Violence for the gold. One half of Royal Violence, Jon Moxly, won the HWA Heavyweight Title the week before from Aaron Williams – the man that beat Mox’s partner King Vu for the Heavyweight Title at World War 3. Mox and King Vu seemed somewhat tense with each other the whole match, often yelling at each other during the match for little to no reason at all. That’s not to say that Royal Violence wasn’t playing to win though. As HWA fans know, anytime you get The Irish Airborne, King Vu and Jon Moxly in the same ring, you’re going to get a great match and this was no exception. Both teams were hell-bent on leaving with the gold and it resulted in twenty hard fought minutes. Throughout the match, Royal Violence seemed to get more and more upset with each other and their tags in and out often seemed very hostile. Both men wanted to win the match themselves and gave Dave and Jake all they could handle. Mox had a very submission heavy game plan, whereas Vu used his usual punishing power based offense. The Airborne were very quick with the tags and were on their game tonight in terms of teamwork and keeping their opponents on their toes. The end of the match saw Jake superkick Vu out of the ring. As Vu went to get back in the ring, Mox accidentally hit him. Mox then got knocked out of the ring himself. Jake lifted Vu on his shoulders – an impressive feat to say the least – and Dave double stomped Vu’s back from the top rope as Jake held him. Dave then laid on the mat with his knees in the air and Jake dropped Vu across Dave’s knees, enabling Dave to pin Vu. The Irish Airborne are the new Tag Team Champions! As the Airborne celebrated, a shoving match broke out between King Vu and Mox. Matt Taylor and Chad Cruise hit the ring, attacking Mox. They held his arms and legs as King Vu delivered not one, but two huge splashes to Mox. The beat down resumed until the locker room cleared, chasing off The King’s Court. The damage was done though – Jon Moxly was hurt badly. Will he ever be the same again?
