Since last newswire so much has happened!

Powerhouse Theo is the new AWF Young Lion’s Champion after defeating Scotty Club at Cardiff, NSW on 23 March with his sit down “Powerbomb”. Theo has been super impressive since joining the AWF, and his win cements him as a force in the promotion. Theo has a list of opponents such as The Captain, Dr Waxhead, Billy Flyswat and Massive Q all waiting in the wings for their shot at the championship. Theo’s “I’ll wrestle and beat anyone” attitude has served him well so far, and AWF wishes him a long and successful reign.

Steve Ravenous is the 2007 Australia’s Cup holder, after defeating Mark Hilton in the tournament final at Blacktown RSL on 14 April. Hilton was unable to thwart off the attack of interfering Platinum Players members JT Robinson & Kid Dynamite, and Ravenous gained the victory and claim to a future AWF Title Shot at his disgression. The next night in Wollongong however was a different story as Hilton and Ravenous faced off in a rematch, and when the Players gang tactics peaked, Hilton had enough and called for back up. Friends Massive Q and TNT entered the ringside area and evened the odds, with the finaly seeing Kid Dynamite hitting Ravenous with the Australia’s Cup by accident and Hilton scoring the pin.

This team rivalry will grow more at “Chaos in Campbelltown” with all combatants colliding in a big 6 way bout at Campbelltown Catholic Club on 19 May.

TNT has had an eventful last few months also. He won the AWF Championship on January 7 over Japan’s Cima, and then went on to defeat USA’s Steve Corino for the AWA World Title on 23 March. Or seemingly so, as the AWA result was reversed due to international paperwork problems. On from there TNT successfully defended his AWF Title against Steve Frost in Fawkner, Victoria on 13 April, however came out of the match with a bad wrist, that made it impossible to defend the title for the remainder of the weekend. TNT’s left wrist is currently in a cast and will be re-assessed on 26 April to see if it is broken. TNT has 90 days to sign for his next title defence, however seems positive that he will compete at Campbelltown on 19 May with or without a cast.
