WEEKEND RESULTS, NEWS & NOTES

In AAW in suburban Chicago, Tyler Black defeated Jerry Lynn to capture the heavyweight title. Eric Priest, who has wrestled for perhaps 10 years, including a few jobber spots in WWE, lost in a last-man-standing match to end his wrestling career. Priest came from the same camp as CM Punk, Colt Cabana and others, and he was always a talented individual, and he will be missed in the Midwest wrestling scene. This is what the AAW webpage had to say: After the match a bloody and emotional Eric Priest bought his wife into the ring and thanked her for all the weekends he was gone. He then thanked everyone in AAW and all the fans as his professional wrestling career came to an end.

The team of Delirious & Hallowicked were winners in the main event of the Chikara Pro show on Sunday in the former ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Penn. Also on the show were Claudio Castagnoli and Mike Quackenbush. Results are below. Learn more at www.chikarapro.com.
