MEGA DEFENDS THE ECWA HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE ON SPETEMBER 18th AGAINST "A-LIST" ANDREW RYKER
In January 2010, "A-List" Andrew Ryker and MEGA had a confrontation in the ring that resulted in an impromptu match between the two. Ryker did not even have his wrestling gear on. After a back and forth battle, MEGA defeated Ryker, scoring a huge win for himself. Months later, MEGA went on to realize a dream when he won the ECWA Heavyweight Championship from Bazooka Joe.
Unbeknownst to many, Ryker went to ECWA founder and then promoter Jim Kettner to plead his case that the loss to MEGA should be voided as he never had a contract signed for the match and he never had time to prepare either. Ryker did make known though that he wanted an official match with MEGA in the future, this time for the ECWA Heavyweight Championship! Despite Ryker's questionable tactics, Kettner agreed to both requests as he could not argue that the January match was not signed and sanctioned and also believed that Ryker was a worthy contender.
Kettner never had the chance to make the match before he decided to retire from the ECWA in August. When Kettner turned over the reigns to new ECWA promoter Mike Tartaglia, one of the stipulations was that Tartaglia honor the promise he made to Ryker. Tartaglia had no qualms about that request, and in fact thought that such a championship match would be a great way to kick off the New Era in the ECWA on September 18, 2010 in Newark, DE.
The match is officially signed and sanctioned, MEGA will defend his ECWA Heavyweight Championship against "A-List" Andrew Ryker with his ever present personal ring announcer Arthur Avalon by his side. Will MEGA continue to live the dream? Or will Ryker turn that dream into a nightmare? Come on out September 18th to find out.
ECWA FAN'S DREAM MATCH AS THE LOGAN BROTHERS DEFEND THE ECWA TAG TEAM TITLE AGAINST THE HEAVYWEIGHTS
The Logans Brothers, Matt, Bryan & Nick, have had a successful, but tough year in 2010.
Bryan suffered a leg injury that kept him out of the Tri-State Wrestling Alliance (TWA) Team Title Tournament in June. Nick, who took Bryan's place, teamed with Matt in the tournament also suffered a leg injury after their semi-final win over Rob Eckos & Billy Bax when Eckos & Bax attacked Nick out of frustration over their loss. An injured Nick went to the finals with Matt, but ultimately lost to the current TWA Tag Team Champions "The Best Around" Bruce Maxwell & TJ Cannon as Maxwell & Cannon were fresh and injury free and received a second round bye into the finals while the Logans had already had two tough matches. The war between the Logans and the Best Around continues in the TWA today.
If that was not enough, Nick Logan received an serious neck injury in the ECWA at the Super 8 on July 10th in a match where he and his brothers defeated the West Coast Wrestling Association and walked away with the ECWA Tag Team Titles and the ECWA Mid-Atlantic Title. Nick did make a successful return in August and defeated Aden Chambers, although not without difficulty as it seems his neck is still not 100%.
The Heavyweights have been sidetracked a bit as of late. Dan Eckos made a great showing in singles matches in the Super 8 and also in August against Chris Wylde and Andrew Ryker. Also, in August, Sean Royal's makeshift team with Jason Leigh ended in disaster as Leigh seemingly out of nowhere turned on Royal and the fans and professed his hatred for the USA and his new kindled love for Canada.
Royal and Eckos have now rededicated themselves to tag team wrestling while the Logans return to the ECWA having put their feud with WCWA behind them. New ECWA promoter Mike Tartaglia saw this as a great opportunity to kick off the New Era in the ECWA on September 18, 2010 in Newark, DE by giving the ECWA loyal fans a DREAM MATCH between two of the most popular teams ever in the ECWA. For the first time ever The Logan Brothers will meet the Heavyweights for the ECWA Tag Team Titles on September 18th. Be there to witness it live!!!
