This Week in HWA History: Dec. 10th - 16th
Welcome to another edition of “This Week in HWA History”! This week we’re covering Dec. 10th - 16th as we move along through December with results leading into the big year-end World War 3 shows and really, really fun match of the week featuring a current WWE star, a current NJPW star against two former ROH stars!
But first a bit of housekeeping …
I mentioned on Twitter/X the other day that going into 2024 I have two new goals for this project.
1) Compile a list of all HWA matches available on YouTube and organize them into a spreadsheet
2) Compile results from the 2001-02 HWA developmental TV run.
I’ll update these goals here in the newsletter and on Twitter as necessary and once the list is built, I’ll try to start incorporating links in the weekly newsletter or have them available for everyone to access. More to come on both goals after the first of the year!
But now, let’s jump into the match of the week!
