ECWA sent out the following:
The ECWA is proudly presenting the 19 Annual Super 8 Tournament on Saturday March 21, 2015.
The Super 8 has long been a tournament rich in tradition that’s allowed many men and now women to showcase their abilities to a wide audience. To say it’s etched in independent wrestling history is an understatement. Most of today’s wrestlers read about, went to, and dreamed about the Super 8 growing up… and they all want the honor to chase down that elusive golden trophy.
The names who’ve competed read like a who’s who of today’s wrestling superstars… names like Daniel Bryan, Austin Aries, Bobby Roode, both Hardy brothers, and Christopher Daniels. And that’s just to name a few.
This year’s field of 8 hopes to one day be considered in the same esteem as those names just mentioned. This tournament is about young up and comers getting their chance to showcase their talents…. It’s about veterans getting that last chance at glory… it’s all those things but who will be the next break out star? Who will the fans be able to say “I saw him before…?” Who will dominate the competition?
This offers a first look at this year’s field of 8 participants. Here’s a brief look at Corey Hollis and Napalm Bomb.
“The Original” Corey Hollis
The high flying Corey Hollis began his career running in 2009. Training under Will Owens, he immediately took professional wrestling by storm wrestling all over the country for companies like the NWA, Anarchy Wrestling, and even has had numerous stints in Ring of Honor. Hollis is known as the good ole country boy with a nasty attitude who isn’t scared to mix in a moonsault with his mat wrestling. A noted tag team specialist, Hollis is out to prove himself as a deadly singles competitor in this year’s tournament. And who can argue with someone who while isn’t the best known of the tournament, might just be the most overlooked man. Can he shock the competition with his trademark speed and high octane offense? Or will he crash and burn when the spotlight is brightest? One thing’s for certain, Corey Hollis is out to prove something and certainly won’t be an easy out in the quest for the Super 8 trophy.
Napalm Bomb
Trained by John Rambo and making his debut in 2007, Napalm Bomb is someone the ECWA fans are very familiar with. His impressive array of power AND speed makes him quite possibly the most dangerous man in the tournament. Napalm’s nasty attitude has grown from his involvement in groups like Black Wall$treet and the Legion of Destruction. Wrestling mostly for ECWA, MCW, and World Extreme Wrestling, the Bomb is a very overlooked talent capable of going toe to toe with just about anyone in the ring. In the ECWA, he’s physically dominated almost every man he’s stepped into the ring with… but having ability often times leads to cockiness and ego… and its cost him in the past. Can Napalm Bomb focus and make quick work of the much smaller men in this tournament? Or will he once again take his dominance for granted? Either way, Napalm Bomb will shock and awe the audience in attendance with his powerful offense. The Bomb is definitely one to watch as the tournament grows closer.
That’s your first look at this year’s crop of amazing wrestling talent. Still to come are looks at the remaining 3 participants and the 2 SPECIAL ECWA Championship matches that will take place at the Super 8 Tournament show!
