Wrestle4Hope was launched in 2008 as a non-profit fundraising campaign headed by then WWC promoter Jeremiah L. Young and Ohio referee Steve Helpenstine to raise funds to send 7 Year old Ryan Nolder to China in order to get a surgery to restore his eye sight. The event featured TNA stars Abyss and Shark Boy and raised enough money to allow us to report that Ryan got that surgery and now has 20% more vision in his eyes.

Then Wrestle4Hope was joined by third board member Marty Mastin in 2009 and began its relationship with The Cancer Care Club. An event featuring Shark Boy and Eugene scored huge in the Aberdeen area, enough so they wanted to do it again!

Now on November 27th, Wrestle4Hope welcomes WWE Legend and self proclaimed “Greatest Intercontinental Champion of All Time” The Honky Tonk Man to Aberdeen, OH for a fundraiser for the Cancer Care Club. Honky Tonk Man is best known for his time in the WWF/WWE feuding with the likes of Jake “The Snake” Roberts, The Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan as well as his tag team with Greg “the Hammer” Valentine in the 1980s.

Honky Tonk Man then went on to wrestle for WCW in the mid 90’s before returning to the WWE for many appearances, most recently feuding with Santino Marella.

Soon after that, Sgt. Ledbetter came to the ring for his match and snatched the mic away and started berating the crowd as usual. After this, his opponent was announced as Dewey Brown. These guys worked a good match in the blazing heat, even though the sun was setting in the west. But all it took was Ledbetter capturing Dewey in an airplane spin and a neck breaker to garner the 1-2-3.

Next out was the tag team Purple Reign, though only The S.I. was working this singles match. His opponent was announced to be the DWA Internet Title holder, Virus. This was a match-up of two of the best high-flyers on the DWA roster and they showed it in the sweltering heat this night. Even PT attempted to get a few licks in as well but Virus was able to overcome it all and by using his famous double stomp off the top rope, captured the pinfall to retain his title.

“The Colonel” Jonathan James made his way out, to the dismay of the crowd, and was in a visible bad mood. He has for months now, tried to rid the DWA of his main nemesis, Evan Da Malice. He told the crowd that the events of last year’s fair would not be repeated and about the upcoming Street Fight and mentioned that neither Shomari nor “The Showcase” were there that evening, “But I always have a plan,” he told them. He had purchased the services of a man who was going to soften up Da Malice for Shomari and called to the ring, Abdullah the Butcher Jr. After “The Frontman” was introduced, the match began but did not bode well for The Colonel as the use of a chair backfired and Evan picked up the win.

To say James was livid would be an understatement. He promptly fired his charge and told the fans that like he said earlier in the night, he always had a plan and called more men out. As Purple Reign and Ledbetter emerged from the back, James climbed into the ring and stomped onto the Butcher, releasing a mountain of anger upon him. Security surrounded the ring as all 4 attacked the big man and this enabled an elderly fan to slip in with a chair and began swinging it, striking the security guys and James. The Sheriff’s Dept. quickly subdued the man and pulled him away. The Colonel flew into a rage about the lax security again and lit into DWA founder Johnny Diamond. By this time, Da Malice came back out and had Brown and Virus with him. Colonel asked why he was there and that his team could beat those three easily. As Evan made a challenge, James’ new army circled around and began to leave until Diamond said that there WOULD be a 6-man match as the Main Event.

Once order was restored, the 6-man match began as Dewey and PT were the first ones in. Though each man entered the fray at one time or another, Brown and PT worked most of the match. Ledbetter and Purple Reign cut Brown off from his teammates for most of the contest as they took turns slaughtering the kid. But once Dewey was able to make a tag, it was a donnybrook that ended when Ledbetter and Purple Reign walked away and was counted out. So the victory was given to the team of Dewey Brown, DWA Internet Title holder Virus and “The Frontman” Evan Da Malice.

This is the first time in over two years that WWE Monday Night RAW has emanated from The US Bank Arena in Cincinnati, OH and it is sure to be one amazing night of action. Come see all of your favorite WWE Superstars, including John Cena, “The Viper” Randy Orton, “The Rated R Superstar” Edge, Chris Jericho, “The Worlds Strongest Man” Mark Henry, Sheamus, Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson), Ted DiBiase, The Miz, John Morrison, The Hart Dynasty, R-Truth, Evan “Air” Bourne, Eve, Maryse…and of course, The Nexus!

RCW World Heavyweight Champion, Judas Thorn has always proven to be one of if not the most dominant forces in all of RCW. Last time at Injection 8, Thorn was bloodied by his former tag-team partner, Juggulator. For the first time in RCW, these two will battle it out in the squared circle not just to settle a score, but for the RCW World Title. Juggulator has always been known as RCW’s Tag-Team Wrestler. He has held belts with every partner he has ever had. He left no secrets at Injection 8 when he turned his back on both Trik Nasty and Judas Thorn but the fans as well. Can Juggulator become the RCW Champion or will Judas Thorn continue to rule. This match will be brutal and you can only see it on August 21st at the YMCA.

New RCW North American Champion Flash Fury may have come back too quick from his serious leg injury earlier this year. Fury broke his leg and required extensive surgery. However, nobody can keep Flash Fury down as he is set to take on Randy “The King” Allen. Allen is known to work the leg as he is an expert on the Figure-Four Leglock. Allen promises to not only take the North American Title from Flash but to end the career of Fury if he gets in the way.

“American Idol” Dirk Extreme is said to be losing his mind since losing his match against his trainer Al Snow at Injection 8. Extreme was humiliated and since turning his back on the fans of RCW last year he does not seem to be able to get his mind together in the ring. Extreme was slated to face Trik Nasty, but Nasty cannot make the event due to prior commitments. Extreme’s new opponent remains a mystery and The Phoenix, Al Snow, loves a good mystery. Who will it be…..we’ll find out on August 21st

The Tag-Team Champions Metal Mayhem are in for a challenge as RCW and Wrestle Ohio have been searching for the best tag-team competition in the area. Last time it was Adrenaline X this time it’s THE Black Irish Saints. One member of the BIS has already been a RCW Tag-Team Champion in the past. “Dangerous” Damien Kass, “DDK”, is all too familiar with RCW Gold. Kass and his partner Devlin Anderson have been wreaking havoc across the Ohio Valley for the last couple of years. Do they have what it takes to capture the RCW tag-team titles? We are betting this match will turn out to be one heck of a fight!

Speaking of Wrestle Ohio…their main protégé’, Nikita Allanov, is claiming he is the best all around wrestler that RCW has ever seen. He says he will dominate until he gets the Gold. “The Black Superman” Onyx is unable to be at Gold Rush, but we are told that Onyx wants to shut up Allanov once and for all. Allanov welcomes the challenge but will set his sites this time on “Freebird” Bryan Cross. Cross has been making waves in RCW this last year and has come a long way. Can Cross shut down Allanov before Onyx gets a chance too? This match can set a statement for either’s RCW career.

How about a huge return to the ring at Gold Rush? Former RCW World Champion, Max Power, will be returning to the ring for action for the first time since 2004! It’s a new era of RCW. Will Power fit in? What kind of ring rust will he have? What kind of shape is the former champ in? Corey Mason better know the answers to these questions as he will face a monster in Max Power. Mason is wily though and has proven he can play great mind games. Can’t wait for this one!

Don’t miss RCW: Gold Rush at the air conditioned YMCA on Saturday August 21, 2010 with a 7:30 PM belltime. Get your tickets at Jackson Valero’s Mom’s Pizza, Jackson YMCA, Portsmouth Pizzeria, Front Row Video of Portsmouth, Castle Comics, or on www.rcwonline.com.

RCW: The Revolution Continues!

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!

For more information, check out HWA’s official website at www.hwaonline.com.

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?
