This Week in HWA History: Feb 25th - Mar 2nd
Welcome to another week in HWA history as we exit February and head into March and the coming of spring! Lots of great action to get to this week so let’s dive right in with the match of the week from … WCW?
Match of the Week: Shark Boy vs. Jeremy Lopez (WCW Saturday Night, Feb. 26th, 2000)
Yes, I know this is not an HWA match but it still features an HWA star in action during the dying days of WCW. I’m going to try to incorporate more little hidden gems like this in this section going forward.
