While July 16th will be Adam Cole’s ECWA Delaware debut, ECWA fans are very familiar with Cole from his unbelievable showing in the Super 8 Tournament on April 30th, where he defeated Sami Callihan, his hated rival, in the first round and Austin Aries, former 2-time ROH Champion, in the semi-finals before succumbing to Tommaso Ciampa in the finals.

The ECWA fans are not the only ones familiar with Cole, so is his scheduled opponent, the wildly popular Kekoa the Flyin’ Hawaiian, who also has been making a great impression on the ECWA fan base of late. In fact, it was a match between Adam Cole and Kekoa from several years back that first brought Kekoa to the attention of ECWA management.

The real question though, is which Adam Cole will show up in Delaware? Will it be the mild-mannered, smiling, crowd favorite seen in ROH and the Super 8 & TWA in New Jersey? Or will it be the pompous, underhanded “Panama City Playboy” that holds the CZW Junior Heavyweight Championship in CZW? You have to consider the fact that D.J. Hyde, the owner of CZW, is the current ECWA Commissioner. But you also have to consider the fact too, that CZW fans are “counter-culture,” where the villain is celebrated and the hero is despised.

Either way, be sure to make it to the ECWA July 16th, as Adam Cole vs. Kekoa the Flyin’ Hawaiian will surely be a wrestling classic!!!
