[EWAPublicity]

The Eastern Wrestling Alliance returns to the Orange Armory, located at 141 E. Main Street in Orange, MA, on Saturday, 1/19/07 with a 7:30pm belltime. Tickets are available for $12 in advance at Bruce's Browser in Athol, MA, or $15 at the door. In the main event, "The Duke of Elegance" Don Chesterfield, accompanied by Steven Marriott, takes on the near-400lb. monster Brian Milonas. The former compatriots relationship deteriorated over the last year, culminating in a locker-room emptying brawl to close the November show in Orange after Chesterfield had inadvertently caused Milonas to lose to EWA Heavyweight Champion Maverick Wild. As the two were held apart by fellow wrestlers, their voices were heard quite clearly, and next Saturday night we will find out just who is the baddest man in the EWA?

EWA Heavyweight Champion Maverick Wild has held onto his title, undettered, since winning a battle royal to determine the champion in March of 2006 (the titles had been vacated following a one-year period of inactivity by the promotion, automoatically violating all champions 1x/365 day title defense clause). Standing across the ring from him next Saturday night will be a man coming off of two consecutive singles victories, over Kid Krazy and Frankie Arion, the one and only Mikaze. Don't miss your chance to see Maverick Wild take on Mikaze, next Saturday night!

The recently formed combination of Dr. Reginald Heresy and Kid Krazy have set their sites clearly on the EWA Tag Team Titles, and are on a hot streak. Looking to slow them down next Saturday, and reuniting for the first time in nearly 2 years, will be the A-list, Mark Bourne and Andre Lyonz! A formerly heralded team in several promotions in New England, the A-list has individual interest in the match as well. Lyonz steps out of retirement to face former EWA Tag Team partner Dr. Heresy, and Kid Krazy's battles with Bourne (then wrestling as the Mighty Mini) in EWA rings have been very intense, historically. What will happen when these four personalities share the ring next Saturday? Be there!

Also next Saturday night, Makua looks to continue on his successful comeback trail after his sabbatical to win ABC's Fat March, as he takes on "The Nicest Guy Evah" Mike Nice. The ever-popular Chunky but Funky will take on the debuting team of Sledge and Barricade. Also in action, Psycho, The Alumni Club and much more! Do not miss your chance to catch the EWA live along with the rabid fans in Orange, next Saturday night!

I'll be there. Will be AWESOME to see Andre back in the ring, and Mark. Looks to be a fun time. if I can find an easier way to get to the show than that winding route 2

Plus, Mikaze vs Mav, and more. Looks to be a rootin tootin good time.

[FlairFanatic]

I thought andre has a career ending injury?

[indymark666]

JUST LIKE JOSE PEREZ DID...LIKE MANY HAVE SAID BEFORE YOU NEVER RETIRE FROM PRO WRESTLING ALL TOGETHER

[GrayGhost]

Jose's was not career ending. Andre had serious knee surgery, and like Amazing Red, Im not expecting a big bang comeback. I havent seen Mini (Mark) in a long time either, and that tag match is very old school EWA, w Krazy adn the Good Doctor. Will bring back memories of some of my favorite indy shows in Sourbridge

[jd]

No way! These guys were the best team ever! Mini hasn't been wrestling much lately so I wonder if they will be rusty? Whatever, this is good news for the local indy tag team scene.

Make sure they come out to Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall.

Me too. But the A-Team used to come to the ring to that song and it was a great entrance for them.

I guess after the promoter of Powerhouse said you couldnt come to the show and interview him and get in for free, you decided to go to EWA instead. The funny part was you expected to interview the POwerhouse promoter and attend for free after all the bad things you said about them on here. Typical ghost

WHAT? hehe. I was never offered a comp or anything for PHW. Im going to EWA because its a strong card, and Im interested in a couple of matches a LOT, as well as the rest of the card. END OF STORY.

Don't make me prove that you contacted the promoter of Powerhouse Wrestling about coming to the show. And that you asked to interview him. I never said you were offered a comp, but you were looking for one with your recent request to come to the show and interview the promoter. Stop playing dumb.

I honestly never requested an interview w the promoter. I may have PMd them and wished them luck on the show, or something, but I dont even see that on my PM list. Show me some proof Nef, please.

Well the proof is you PM'd them asking about coming to the show. When I first heard you had asked I was shocked, considering all you have said on this board about Powerhouse. I couldn't understand why you would be interested in doing an interview for a promotion you criticize all the time.

Have fun at EWA. I would like to be there to see Andre and Mini reforming their team but EWA seems to always run the same night as POwerhouse. Hopefully in the future they will have a date that doesn't fall on the same date as EWA is always a fun night and the crowd in Orange is always enthuasiastic.

[Backyard Mark]

Who cares whose dick The Gray Ghost is trying to suck this week. How about staying with the topic of the forum and letting EWA get some much deserved respect.

[GrayGhost]

Well. thats what I tried to do. The EWA is one of my first promotions on the indies I attended, and one of my favorites. IM very much looking forward to what looks to be a really fun show, w some top s helf matches.

[Mr 450 J Thunder]

Ok I can't double quote for shit, but when Backyard Mark said "who cares whos dick Ghost is trying to suck." ..... I found it very funny the first line of Ghost's next post was "Well thats what I tried to do."

Well, the last line of backyards was about giving the EWA much deserved respect. That was the one I was replying to.
See everyone Live in Orange..eh..this Saturday night for this event.

I hope EWA returns to Portland,ME in the future, because I go up that way every Summer, and would love to see some EWA action!

Maine is home to the toughest commission in New England, and they require an EMT, blood pressure and heart rate tests before the matches. It's very expensive state to run. EWA ran out of Portland soley because it was owned by Steve Ramsey, who lived outside of Portland and was also the most organized financial manager of a wrestling show I ever met. He had to have been, because they ran the Stevens Armory which had quite a price tag for rent. They ended up having to move to the Strive Center, which was actualy a small place with a rent not much less than the armory.

[GrayGhost]

I loved the EWA in Sourbridge. Especially the early days at the place across from the Big Bunny..hehe. Was great seeing guys like Ken Phoenix, Antonio, Romeo, Mav, Doc, Krazy, Frankie, Mini, etc. And Hastey, who kept going to the top, never hitting that move and always "hurting" the leg. I swear, he got caught more than Flair off the top rope.

It was a great time for me, esp when I was one half of the Larry Huntley fan club. All these were great times, and fun shows.

My favorite feuds both involved Mav too. He had a classic one w Doc, and another w Krazy, w that wild Iron man match.

Plus, who can forget the lovely Tanya, fooling "commissioner" Heartbreaker into signing for a HW title match vs Cueball, my Aim namesake.

I owe a lot of my indy fan years to three promotions really, in the early days. MWA, my very first indy show (Thx Shabba), Assault (Riders was still the "standard") and EWA. So, if any of the fans wanna blame someone for me being what I am, you can start with those three promotions.

[indymark666]

NOTICE GHOST THAT 2 OF THE 3 ARE DEAD (OR RENAMED IN THE CASE OF ACW AKA DPW) AND THE 3RD RUNS LIKE 3 SHOWS A YEAR WOW YOU SURE PICKED WINNERS IN THE BEGINING. EWA IS DEFINATLY GOOD THOUGH AND I USED TO MAKE THE TRIP TO MAINE ONCE EVER FEW MONTHS TO SEE THEM ESPICALLY DURING THE FULLER VS BOOKER FEUD WHICH WAS OFF THE CHARTS AT TIMES.

Are you somehow attributing their death to Ghost...'cause us poor underfinanced promotions take the E train out of business quite frequently, regardless of who supports or doesn't support them. There are more dead than alive...it's a rough road.

[GrayGhost]

Yeah, Mr Booker ( w Pristine Kristine, man, that woman's screams could break bulletproof glass) and Chi Chi Cruz amongst others too. So many memories. Far as "picking winners", I didnt know much better. MWA was by the advice of a fellow card show dealer, Joe (later to become Shabba), and I think he told me bout Assault running at the time outta the Meriden MIC. the EWA was a big on the NEI website, which is one way I heard bout them too.
