News and notes from EFW Supercard 2008, and Card for EFW September House Show

EFW would like to thank all the fans that watched EFW Supercard 2008. A special thanks to Jack Spontane for providing the color commentary during the "Sport of Kings" boxing match.

Speaking of which, the boxing match featuring King Bryan and HS Jimmy was the first match of the card to reach 100 views on YouTube. Fans responded very well to this match as it offered something completely different to a traditional wrestling card. EFW has not ruled out using the Sport of Kings match in future.

Danny Young's return during the EFW LH Title match between Diamond Dave and Dylan Royal was a surprise to many, considering he had been out with a neck injury since February. His presence was not a main factor as Diamond Dave picked up the upset win over Dylan.

Pink Elephant is out of action with a broken rib after taking a sick Vanity Killer from Mike Envy with Steve Cabana holding the ring steps during the 3-way hardcore tag match. We hope that he recovers soon and will be ready to extract some revenge on the Rockstar Mafia.

By far the 2 out of 3 falls EFW World Title match between Casey Chase and Smitty was the match of the night. Certainly an emotional win for Casey who defeated the longest-reigning EFW World Champion Smitty to pickup his first world title and become only the second EFW Triple Crown Champion.

Card for EFW September House Show

EFW North American Title
Carlos Anderson (c) vs. Justin Springer

Due to the impromptu title change at EFW Supercard, Anderson will defend the title against the 3rd member of the Rockstar Mafia, Justin Springer. Springer was not at Supercard due to an arm injury sustained by Homeless Hank at the EFW J4 event in July. He is cleared to compete in this matchup.

Casey Chase vs. Don Rudy

Since winning the EFW World Title, Casey is seeking out to "burn his past" by removing himself from former friends and tag team partners. The first step? Taking out his former tag team partner Don Rudy. Rudy has not been highlighted a whole lot in the 3rd season of EFW, but a win against Casey will certainly bring him back into the title scene.

EFW Hardcore Title
Homeless Hank (c) vs. El Macho Lobsto vs. Warrant

Since Homeless Hank was not booked for EFW Supercard, he will be forced to defend against "The Crustacean Sensation" El Macho Lobsto and recent EFW Tag Team champion Warrant. The size advantage of Hank and Warrant could mean that they can single out Lobsto. Then again, Lobsto can use his speed to his advantage for a possible quick pinfall.

Rockstar Mafia (Mike Envy/Steve Cabana) vs. Sean Broman/Ocho Gato

The Rockstar Mafia as a tag team have been on a major tear in the tag team division going undefeated since the first EFW House Show in June. With the injury to Pink Elephant and Warrant involved in the Hardcore Title match, Broman and Ocho will combine to collectively attempt to break the undefeated winning streak of Mike Envy and Steve Cabana.

King Bryan vs. Dylan Royal

"Royalty versus Royal" is the nickname of this matchup. King Bryan will step back into a wrestling role taking on one of EFW's more exciting wrestlers, Dylan Royal. While a major contender in the Light Heavyweight division, Royal has had problems in the past defeating larger opponents.

Danny Young vs. Jamal Darnell

Danny Young is making his return since being out with a neck injury. Jamal Darnell wants to spoil the return party and utilize his submission-based offense for a possible tap out victory. Will a win here stir some trouble with the EFW LH Title picture?

EFW Debut Match
Kenzan Kotasu vs. Aura

Female Japanese wrestling import Kenzan Kotasu will be making her EFW debut against fellow female competitor Aura. Not much is known about "The Hydra", except that she tends to use a lot of technical moves and submission holds in her matchups. Can the rookie impress the EFW roster and secure a win?
