Nearly a year has passed since Bob "the Beast" Sapp was defeated by "Super Dragon" Lee Wang Pyo in what was billed as a MMA style fight for the WWA Heavyweight Title. Pyo, defeated Sapp with an armbar submission. However at "Forever Hero 4" Sapp righted this wrong. Sapp defeated Pyo at the Olympic Stadium. Interestingly, Bobb Sapp wasn't the only non-Korean at the event. Nelson Creed and Kenny Lush (ECCW Wrestlers) battled for the WWA Korean Tag Team Titles.
Kenny Lush and Nelson Creed are both currently tearing up a storm in the WWA in Korea.
On Sunday, Oct 25 both wrestled great tag team matches at the Forever Hero 4 wrestling spectacular.
In the Semi-Main Event, Leatherface and Kenny Lush stormed the ring and dominated their opponents, both former professional sumo wrestlers, but were outdone when Leatherface blasted Lush with a closeline felt into the 100th row; fans were in awe of the two, but they ended up losing the WWA tag team titles in a major upset.
Nelson Creed Teamed with Bad Boy Hido (from Big Japan and W*ING Japan) to defeat Korean Olympic Legend No Gi Shin and his young tag team partner when Creed landed his final curtain frog splash. Leatherface, Creed, and Lush were all thoroughly booed by those in attendance. However, their in ring efforts and hard style left many spectators in awe and begging for more. All three have matches tommorow night. Kenny Lush and Nelson Creed will be teaming up to challenge again for the WWA Tag Team Titles. In the main event of the evening, Leatherface is wrestling Bob Sapp for the WWA heavyweight title. Carnage is expected.
The National Wrestling Alliance is said to be the largest governing body in profesional wrestling. The NWA's offices are represented in North America with promotions in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. There is also NWA Representation in Europe with NWA UK, NWA Ireland, and NWA France. The NWA's reach stretches as far east as New Japan Pro Wrestling and the World Wrestling Alliance, the NWA's Japanese and Korean memebers.
Although the connection between WWA and their American affiliate, Championship Wrestling from Florida seems a little suspect, it does look like the South Korean based profesional wrestling orginization is still promoting.
One of the last events of 2008 for WWA Korea was the battle between former IWGP Heavyweight Champion, and Kickboxer Bob Sapp. Sapp battled against WWA ace and reigning WWA Heavyweight Champion, Super Dragon. The results aren't readily available, so if anyone speaks Korean or know where to find the results, I'd greatly appreciate it. The match was contested under MMA Rules.
::: Update ::: The Fans of Sherdog released the results of this match, with Super Dragon retaining his title.
