It’s fair to say that the Hardcore Wrestling Alliance is once more making waves in the wrestling world. Over the last two weeks, 3 of its superstars have been arrested including Co-Owner Wisdom Parker. Many outlets around the world are commenting on how the company is steadily moving away from the successful business model that kept it going these past 8 years, and reverting back to some of its more controversial ways that saw the company fold in 2015.

Matt Miller the premiere athlete in HWA is set to meet his greatest challenge yet. The infamous Asylum match has been for the company’s August ppv, Art of War. Miller, undoubtably a future champion who has led the company these past years is no stranger to highly competitive matches, but this brings things to a level he’s never gone to before. Miller’s been the target of unhinged veteran and superstar Maniac who has designs for chaos, but the bastion of HWA is standing in his way and will meet him in his own playground to preserve the integrity of what he has built.

With the HWA back in the spotlight, health experts are once again sounding the alarm on mental health, and wellness. From Chris Benoit, to Aaron Hernandez…experts have remarked on the correlation between contact sports and athletes experiencing cognitive impairment, depression, suicidal thoughts, PTSD, and moderate to severe brain damage. While seemingly high functioning, HWA’s own Maniac is known to have a history of mental illness, and reports surrounding the personal life of the late Eddie Phoenix suggesting his own apparent struggles have brought a renewed interest in the subject as it relates to professional wrestling.

Family members of the late Superstar Billy Graham have spoken out against HWA for what they feel was a deliberate snub to the later superstar. The company highlighted the death of Bushwhacker Butch in April, and most recently The Iron Sheik this past Havoc, but failed to recognize Superstar Billy Graham who passed away May 17. In a joint statement to NBC, they wrote… “We are deeply disappointed by the choice the Hardcore Wrestling Alliance has made in not recognizing one of the most prolific superstars in wrestling history, Superstar Billy Graham.” When noting that Graham’s death preceded the May 22nd Havoc where it was reported that the company did in fact have plans to pay tribute to the superstar but were sidelined by the pre-show altercation between Matt Miller and Maniac as well as subsequent, chaotic events. The family said. “They’ve had other opportunities since then, but still nothing, and it’s too late now. To hell with them!”
