This Week in HWA History: July 9th - 15th
Welcome to another week of HWA history! Several title changes, a boatload of results, and a really cool match of the week this week!
Match of the Week
This week’s match is from the July 12, 2011 HWA Adrenaline event in Hamilton, Ohio featuring Chris Hall against Gerome Phillips. It’s not the best quality as footage from this era is hard to come by, but it’s still really cool to see that a fan filmed this and it’s still floating around on YouTube 12 years after the fact.
