Welcome wrestling fans to another edition of Brainwaves right here on HWAOnline.com!

I have some major news to break concerning the HWA Heavyweight Championship currently held by "King Vu" Richard Phillips.

Based on what happened this past Wednesday in the HWA American Luchacore title match, HWA officials have named "The Angelic Assassin" Aaron Williams the new #1 Contender to King Vu's championship and the two will meet on Wednesday Night November 25th (Thanksgiving Eve) at The Sorg!

If this past Wednesday was any indication that title match alone promises to be worth the price of admission  and King  Vu has got to be more than a little concerned that his title reign is in some serious jeopardy. After all, Aaron pinned his shoulders to the mat for the three count. That gives Williams a HUGE psychological advantage over the HWA's reigning monarch.

But Vu has more than Aaron Williams to concern himself with as Vu and his Royal Violence tag team partner "The Most Dangerous Man in the HWA" Jon Moxley will defend the HWA Tag Team Championship this Wednesday Night November 11th at The Sorg against former champions The Irish Airborne.

There is no denying the Irish Airborne's tag team credentials and they reminded everyone why they are the greatest tag team in HWA history this past Wednesday when they won a 4 Team Elimination match to earn the shot at Royal Violence.

This will be the first title defense for Royal Violence since they won the HWA Tag Team Titles from the Kosher Klub last month and it is without question one of the biggest tag team matches we've ever presented in Middletown and given the four men involved including the current HWA Heavyweight Champion and two former HWA Heavyweight Champions this one has all the elements of being an instant classic.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown... the dual champion King Vu is finding that out first hand.

If you were with us Wednesday Night in Middletown you heard about the first match announced for the HWA's Thanksgiving Eve Spectacular coming to The Sorg on November 25th... Team Bad Attitude vs. Team New Attitude in a classic tag team elimination match.

The situation between "Bad Attitude" Brian Beech and "New Attitude" Ron Mathis continues to escalate, but at this point neither man has been able to get the upper hand in this feud, perhaps it will be a different story after their night of tag team elimination warfare!

I understand both Beech and Mathis are currently choosing their team members. A suggestion for Beech... select Shank Barzini for your team!

Now I can't imagine anyone wanting to work with Mathis. Not only did he prove he can't be trusted when he stabbed Beech in the back, I know first hand from working with him on The Pulse what an unpleasant experience it is.

I understand there will be another tag team elimination match announced soon for November 25th. As always stay tuned to HWA Online for that info!

Speaking of tag teams... who could have predicted that Tim Donst would join forces with Jesse Emerson last Saturday in Norwood. Jesse was probably more shocked than anybody when the HWA's version of the Halloween Phantom unmasked and revealed himself to be Tim Donst.

If given the choice, I doubt Jesse would have called upon Donst's help, given all of the things Donst has done since his arrival in the HWA this past January, but you can't argue the fact that Donst did the right thing at HWA Fear For All.

Will we see an Emerson/Donst tag team in the future? Only time will tell.

But Donst is definitely going to need some help if he plans on going toe to toe with his former Crusade cohorts, The Hybrids.

It has been some time since we've seen the vicious side of Donovan Cain and Jason Lyte, but that definitely came out as they tried to take Donst out of action following the tag team match.

The Hybrids/Emerson & Donst match was just one of the highlights of another great show in Norwood last weekend as the HWA celebrated Halloween at the Donald E. Prues Center with HWA Fear For All. We've received a lot of positive feedback on the show and look forward to returning to Norwood on December 19th for our year end extravaganza, HWA World War III.

The HWA roster delivered as they always do. The costume contest was a lot of fun and I enjoyed interacting with our fans of all ages who participated in that. And as always the crowd in Norwood brought their energy and enthusiasm that make for such a fun atmosphere.

And it is the loyal fans in Norwood and Middletown along with the hardest working roster in indy wrestling that have allowed the HWA to carry on.

Two years ago when the HWA re-launched many predicted doom and gloom, many didn't think it would last but here we are two years later and we are still moving forward and still putting on the best shows we possibly can each and every time we go out there.

And that is why I'm so proud to be a part of the Heartland Wrestling Association.
