EWA NEWS AND NOTES

Hey hey wrestling gurus.... Mark Madden here with a ton of wrestling news.

So... how about last Saturday's mega card? Well all I have to say is... the more you think you know the EWA... the more they go and change on you. Personally, I am glad for the PHOENIX. Here's a guy, who puts in 110% every night... to realize one dream... to be the world's champion. And finally... after 3 tries at the gold... he does it. Upending Pagan in a fantastic match... the PHOENIX wins his first world heavyweight title... and will now be the 'man'. I can't wait to see the PHOENIX in his new role as EWA World Champion.

Hats off to Stone Cold Steve Smith, as well. Smith, a former world tag team champion... is now the first ever EWA Commonwealth Champion, by winning the 20-man battle royal. Smith has also seemed to have a change of heart... admitting to the wrestling world that the new champ, PHOENIX, is his mentor. Smith now carries the weight of bring mid card status to main event status... as he carries the commonwealth represented title on in the EWA.

As for Scott Merrimac... he is the new Anarchist champion. Congrats to the Sensational One, for putting up an incredible effort against all odds. Merrimac, who will now feud with Terrorist who was stripped of the gold, has the dubious honor of holding what many experts call the 'sickest title in history'.

Finally... Dean Smith dropped the North American title to DARKNESS... in a major upset. DARKNESS, relatively new to the league, caught the No Gimmicks star off guard, and wrestled the North American title away from the superstar. This prompted a Dean Smith/Raven spouting match... as the Living Legend himself thratened to leave the FOD, for Waylon Mercy and the Lords!! What a turn of events! Things are definitely heating up here in the EWA, and come springtime, the wrestling should be as EXTREME as ever!!!

Also, President Brooks and Commisioner Nosworthy named Josh Kasten and Nick Young as the new brass for the EWA. Good luck, guys!!

For EWA News and Notes, I'm Mark Madden.
