HWA fans entertained at Hoo Hoo Fest in florida
Wrestlers had fans cheering in support
Wrestlers from the Honour Wrestling Association (HWA) had their fans cheering and clapping in support during their show at the Hoo Hoo Festival in Florida.
The first match started off with a bang, as The Bandit came out to defend South Africa’s pride against his Spanish opponent, Cyclone.The referee, Eric Blignaut, had his hands full as Cyclone cheated and twisted the rules during the match. His antics also had the fans fuming. But, The Bandit made a great comeback, and outsmarted Cyclone to the delight of the fans. The match ended in a win for The Bandit, after he landed a superkick to Cyclone’s jaw, and pinned him.
The second match of the day was between Clive Rude and Gene the Rejected Clown. Even though Gene the Rejected Clown has tried many times to pass his exams to become a circus superstar, he failed to amuse Clive Rude in the ring, and paid dearly for it. Clive Rude tackled Gene the Rejected Clown with brute force, and was slamming and throwing him all over the ring. To the delight of his fans, Gene the Rejected Clown made several comebacks during the match, but this was not enough, as Clive Rude finished the match with a huge cradle suplex, resulting in him walking away with a victory.
The main match for the day was a cracker, as Hector Payne challenged South Africa’s own flying springbok, Steve Eden for the World Championship title. The fans’ cheers quickly turned into jeers, as Hector Payne hit Steve Eden from behind, before the bell even rang for the start of the match. The fans were fuming, as Hector Payne dug deep into his bag of dirty tricks to punish his opponent, even stooping so low as to hit Steve Eden with a chain.
However, Steve Eden did not stand for this, and he came back fighting, using his amateur wresting background to outwit his opponent, and he finished the match when he landed an elbow drop from the top rope, resulting in him retaining his title.
What will happen next? Will Gene the Rejected Clown take revenge on Clive Rude? Who will challenge Steve Eden next for the World Title?
