This Week in HWA History: Dec. 26th - 31st
Welcome to another holiday edition of This Week in HWA History! For this special edition, we’re covering the week between the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, Dec. 26th - 31st. There were only a handful of events, mostly the annual World War 3 shows.
Since the results section is pretty light, I’ve picked out two matches of the week from the annual World War 3 shows in Dayton, including one of Jon Moxley’s early matches!
As a reminder, the next edition of this newsletter will be the New Year’s edition that will come out on January 1st. The usual Sunday issues will resume on January 7th.
And now … onto the matches of the week!
