On August 16th in Jackson, NJ the new WORLD-1 champion was crowned as "Mr Wrestling 3" Steve Corino w/ Rob Dimension(Survivor) defeated Greg Spitz, The Beast and Gordon P Samsonite in a four way contest. On the very same show, Damian Dragon (WOW) made his debut with a huge victory that earned him a spot in the tournament. Dragon, is looking to not only defeat Corino, but to make his name well known by winning the entire tournament. Rob Dimension was quoted as saying, "Steve Corino is a proud entree and his first round opponent is Damian Dragon. Damian is a New Jersey mainstay and is an amazing competitor. He has speed, is young plus has a great variety of offensive and defensive maneuvers. While Corino has the poise and fighting spirit of the true competitor he is, this first round match up will certainly be a test. Corino's advantage will be his experience and ability to adapt in the blink of an eye. Keep in mind, we are in no way over looking Damian Dragon. If there is an upset to be on this card, it's this one. Steve is focused and determined. I will be, as always, in Mr. Corino's corner.This event is truly special for Steve, many that know him are aware of his love and admiration for Mr. Hashimoto. Winning the event named after, what could possibly be his greatest Boss, friend and mentor ever, will be a weighing heavily on Steve's mind. I am proud and honored to represent Mr. Corino in this event. I encourage you, wrestling fans, come out and show your support and attend this exciting night of WORLD-1 action."
Another first round match will see Havoc (WXW-C4) taking on WORLD-1 North American champion Alex Anthony (3K). Havoc, the mainstay of WXW-C4 Wrestling, and trained by the legendary Afa and Samu; is looking to make a major impact in the tournament by defeating the WORLD-1 North American champion in the first round. Alex Anthony on the other hand, is looking to continue his streak for 2009 and win the whole tournament. Anthony has defeated everyone that B4W officials have put in front of him and is undefeated in 2009. He told officials that winning the 2009 Hashimoto tournament would be the ultimate honor and achievement.
Ruthless Ryan Sawyer (3K) is looking to continue his path of destruction after breaking former partner, Kevin Payne’s leg back in June. He defeated the returning El Americano in a matter of minutes last week at Summertime Showdown and expects to do the same to Craven (PPW-Aus) and anyone else who stands in his way. Craven on the other hand is looking to make a big name for himself since coming to the United States. His loss to Steve Corino on Saturday night has done nothing but motivate him to meet Corino somewhere in this tournament and go on to prove himself to the crowd in Morganville NJ.
Current PPW champion, Erico (PPW) has big plans for his debut for WORLD-1 and was talking about it all weekend. Erico, has traveled all over the world and is ready to take on Sean Haze (Chikara), who made his WORLD-1 return last month. This has the potential to be the match of the night as these guys might have the most to prove on this night!
Two non tournament matches have been signed including Tommy Thunda and Chris Rockwell defending their WORLD-1 Tag Team titles against the super popular team of The Beast and GPS. After months of continually interfering in GPS’ business, both Rockwell and Thunda will have to put their championships on the line against him and the 400 pound Beast. Arguably the two most popular athletes in WORLD-1, Beast and GPS are untested as a team, and many wonder how they will fare against the similar duo of Rockwell and Thunda!
Also a mixed tag team match between Super Sweet and Roxie Cotton taking on Foxy Foxxy and Cory Kastle has been added!
The August 28th event, the Shinya Hashimoto memorial tournament 2009 will take place live at Langan Baseball (712 Ginesi Drive, Morganville NJ) at 7:30. Tickets are only $10 for this historic event and tribute to one of the greatest to ever step in the ring!
