WEEKEND RESULTS, NEWS & NOTES

Honky Tonk Man and Eugene won their respective matches in Heavy on Wrestling in Superior, Wis., on Saturday.

The masked high-flyer Fire Ant won the Chikara Pro “Young Lions Cup” tournament over the weekend. If you re-read any of my Chikara Pro DVD reviews, you’ll see that I’ve written a lot of positive comments about Fire Ant in the past two years. Congrats to him on winning this tournament.
