NEW ECWA CHAMPION CROWNED, HELP ECWA & ALEX'S LEMONADE FIGHT CHILDHOOD CANCER JUNE 1, 2013 in NEWARK, DE
VsK UPSETS JOSH DANIELS TO WIN THE ECWA UNIFIED HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
After scoring a big upset at the YMCA in Carney’s Point, NJ in March 2013 by defeating Kekoa the Flyin Hawaiian, Ricky Martinez andApollyon to earn a spot in the 2013 Super 8, VsK returned to the YMCA on May 11, 2013 hoping to score yet another upset, this one the biggest of his young six year career, and win the oldest championship in independent professional wrestling.
The Y was hot both literally and figuratively, when VsK came back from a lot of abuse his leg suffered at the hands of the submission and technical expert, defending champion Josh Daniels, before he was able to mustered enough energy to thwart an superplex attempt by Daniels and then hit Daniels with his high velocity moonsault off the top rope for the one, two, three!!! Joel Blackhart, Daniels manager, fans and the locker room were in shock as Daniels has been at the top of his game and has much experience over VsK. Despite this advantage, VsK was able to channel his youth, talent, enthusiasm and a wealth of knowledge bestowed upon him by his trainer, 2004 ECWA Super 8 Quarter-Finalist Ricky Reyes, to earn himself this huge win and upset.
“Tonight is bigger than anything I have ever done in this business up until this point,” said the new ECWA Unified Heavyweight Champion. “To hold the same championship that was held by ChristopherDaniels, Amazing Red, Christian and so many more greats is an honor that intend to do justice by defending against all comers and the best of the best.”
The victory celebration didn’t last long for VsK though, as the following day his first title defense was announced. On June 1 inNewark, DE, VsK will defend in a Triple Threat Match against formerchampion Josh Daniels w/ Joel Blackhart and 2011 ECWA Super 8 winner & ROH star Tommaso Ciampa. Originally, Daniels was scheduled to defend against Ciampa, but Daniels demanded a rematch and Ciampa was signed to wrestle Daniels for the title. The Triple Threat Match was the only way to accommodate everyone involved.
