In case you have not noticed, the Midnight Sensation (Sam Shields and Chris Rockwell) are not your everyday normal guys. They claim to be from space, the Triton moon specifically. Everything they do is unorthodox. Despite this, you cannot deny their talent and ability. On Sept 24th at the 44th Anniversary of the ECWA in Newark, DE, they get another shot at the tag titles and champions Fusion DS (Matt Saigon and Damian Dragon), this time in a ladder match!!! All four have experience in ladder matches. Both teams want the Unified ECWA/TWA Tag Team Titles. Is the third time a charm for the Sensations? Do not miss this Ladder War!!!

Here is the Introducing article from the Wrestler (Sheamus cover)/Inside Wrestling (Mr. Anderson cover) magazine VOL 42 on sale Aug 30, 2011. It is a 2 page feature article on ECWA Mid-Atlantic Champion “Heart Killer” Chris Wylde. Congrats to Chris and many thanks to PWI magazine!
“Pitbull” Tim Richards issued a challenge to meet Bazooka Joe for Sept 24th and has asked ECWA owner Mike Tartaglia to make the match. Richards and Revolution attacked Tagtaglia one year ago at the beginning of the NEW ERA, with Richards spearing Tartaglia. While Tartaglia’s attitude has changed drastically in the last year, surely Richards is not on his Christmas card list considering the attack last September. Will Tartaglia grant his request? Stay tuned!
UPDATE…
ECWA Owner Mike Tartaglia finally answered Tim Richards’ challenge in an exchange over FACEBOOK. Here it is…
Tim Richards:
Tick Tock Tick Tock…. Still waiting boss… I’m not getting any younger, and you’re not getting any balder….

Michael Tartaglia:
Listen Richards, I didnt even know who you were! Zanolle had to remind me that you wrestle for ECWA! I dont like you or Bazooka Joe especially since you are both from Delaware but I am going to make this match. But since I am giving you something, I want something in return. So I ll tell you what, wash that scraggly, dirty, filthy, bug infested hair of yours because if you lose, we are going to cut it and make a wig with it!

Tim Richards:
Fine. Settled. Done. Blog it up let it be known, I dont care what the stipulation is, as long as I make Bazooka Joe and the rest of the ECWA roster and fans sit up and take notice that I’m not playing any more, and will be my time in the spotlight and I am not letting it go.

Bazooka Joe hardly has any hair! If Bazooka Joe wins, he gets DJ Hyde in a match next show! If Richards wins, I will give him a Mid Atlantic Title match in the near future!

So it is set…
Bazooka Joe vs. “Pitbull” Timothy Richards
*If Richards wins, he gets a Mid-Atlantic Title shot; if he loses, he gets his hair cut and Bazooka Joe gets a match ECWA Commissioner DJ Hyde!!!
With DJ Hyde out of the country on Sept 24th, Richards has made a bold challeneg to face Bazooka Joe. Richards figures if he can defeat Joe, a former ECWA Heavyweight Champion, it would greatly rise his stock in the ECWA. Will owner Mike Tartaglia grant the match?
Richards prepares to slam Damian Dragon hard to the mat!
Bazooka Joe is NOT HAPPY that DJ Hyde pulled a fast one on him, backing out of their match when Hyde knew full well he had a UK tour scheduled. It may not have been the wisest thing to do, challenging Joe in his current state of mind. If the match is made, don't be surprised to see Joe take his frustrations out on Richards!
2011 ECWA Super 8 Champion, ROH Contract, and now ranked #99 in this year’s PWI 500!
This has been quite the year so far for Tommaso Ciampa.
Don’t forget, Tommaso returns to the ECWA on Sept 24th for the 44th Anniversary of the ECWA at the Boys & Girls Club in Newark, Delaware, but this time he is coming for the oldest championship in U.S. independent pro wrestling, the ECWA Heavyweight Title, currently held by “Greek God” Papadon! If Tommaso wins, he is the NEW ECWA Champion; if Papadon wins, he gets an automatic spot in the 2012 ECWA Super 8 Tournament! If Papadon wants that spot, he is going to have to beat Tommaso, as he will not that earn the spot if he gets himself disqualified or counted out!
Wii 2011 be the YEAR of PROJECT CIAMPA?
Don’t miss out and be there for the SUPER 8 CHAMP vs ECWA CHAMP!

Who would have thought that the unlikely, makeshift team of Damian Dragon and Matt Saigon would have defeated one of the best teams in the Northeast, “The Best Around,” Bruce Maxwell & TJ Canon, on January 30, 2011 in Voorhees, NJ for the TWA TAG TEAM TITLE?
Dragon & Saigon, now known as FUSION D.S., took the Cinderella story a step further when the defeated “Midnight Sensations” Chris Rockwell & Sam Shields for the vacant ECWA TAG TEAM TITLES on May 7, 2011 in Newark, DE to become new and first-time ever ECWA/TWA UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!
Winning and unifying both championships was an incredible feat in itself for the new combination, but today FUSION DS has finally arrived as a team and silenced the critics. Today, FUSION D.S. was ranked the #10 team in the WORLD by Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) Magazine!!!!!!!!!!
ECWA and TWA are extremely proud of Dragon and Saigon and grateful for what they bring to the programs and the promotions. They both are talented inside the ring and model roster members outside the ring. They both have paid their dues and have earned and deserve each and every accolade bestowed upon them.
Celebrate FUSION D.S. and their story, DREAMS COME TRUE!!!
And, many thanks to PWI Magazine!!!
*Make sure you check out FUSION D.S. on Sept 24, 2011 in Newark, DE at the 44th Anniversary Show of ECWA at the Boys and Girls Club as they defend the Unified Tag Team Titles against the Midnight Sensations in a Ladder Match.

Dragon and Saigon win the TWA Tag Team Titles from the Best Around in Voorhees, NJ Jan 30, 2011
Aden Chambers was injured at the MCW show on July 31st. He has a leg/hip injury and he will be out for a while. We at the ECWA want to wish Aden a full and speedy recovery and look forward to his return when he is well. We were really looking forward to his participation in the 4-way encounter for the ECWA Mid-Atlantic Title on Sept 24, 2011 at the 44th Anniversary show w/ Chris Wylde (c), Kekoa and Bobby Shields (more on this match to come). Aden had also recently talked about wanting another shot at Ace Darling and Shawn Patrick too! It will be a while before we see the return of ECWA’s Grandslam Champion, but when he does return, it will have been worth the wait!
