This Week in HWA History: Oct. 29th - Nov. 4th
Happy Halloween!
Welcome to a super spooky edition of This Week in HWA history! This week we round out the month of October and look at some Halloween themed cards and roll into the first few days of November which featured a big event at the Red Barn Flea Market in 2003 and the final match of one of HWA’s original stars in 2000.
Before getting into the match of the week and everything else, here’s a few housekeeping news and notes!
*Keep an eye on your inbox for a Substack exclusive post coming on November 1st diving into Buckeye Pro Wrestling (BPW). This is the first in a future series of Substack exclusive posts where the notes and results will not be shared on Twitter like I do with the HWA results.
*The History of HWA will also be expanding on social media in November as I’m looking at setting up Facebook and/or an Instagram page and will also be creating a History of HWA account on BlueSky. Watch this space for more details.
Now, with all of that out of the way, there’s lots to get into this week so let go straight into the match of the week!
