Entry number 6 in the 2014 ECWA Super 8 a unique attraction
Few things in independent wrestling are more storied or important than the annual East Coast Wrestling Association Super 8 Tournament. The eight tournament is single elimination and is in year 18 of showcasing the top young stars in today’s independent scene. A list of past participants reads like a who’s who of notable wrestling stars such as WWE’s Daniel Bryan, Christian, the Hardy Boys, Xavier Woods, Austin Aries, and Christopher Daniels. Over the years thousands of fans have came to witness the next phase of history and who will become the next breakout performer. This year is no different than any other year… the field of eight are being planned… and the first 2 entrants have been announced. We also will have a special guest host this year… last year’s Super 8 winner Damian Dragon who has since retired from the wrestling business.
The tournaments unique hard hitting fast paced style lead to the creation of Ring of Honor and has also lead to dozens of copy cat tournaments looking to bottle up the lightning that was created back in 1997. But there is only one original tournament that showcases wrestlers that are upcoming and the next break out star who could be on a television screen near you very soon. To this day, to get an invitation is considered a high honor and a signification of pure talent.
On Saturday April 5, 2014 at the Greater Newark Boys & Girls Club in Newark, Delaware the fans will witness the greatest happening in indy professional wrestling! Here’s a look at the man selected to be the sixth entrant into the tournament:
‘The Ringmaster’ Oliver Grimsly
Quite possibly the most unique, bizarre man to ever take part in the Super 8 Tournament. He’s wrestled in places like CCW, Qwest Pro, and most notably MCW. Called ‘The Ringmaster’ because of his circus leader look he often times loves to have fun with the fans by bringing balloons to the ring with him. A fast paced technical style wrestler he’s the true definition of an underdog with his smaller size who will look to surprise the other entrants who take him lightly. One of his favorite tactics is to psyche his opponents out by talking to them and the fans during his matches which tends to anger his opponents. He can use his ring intelligence to take advantage easily as he loves to play possum before often landing the deciding blow for a victory. Will Grimsly be only looking to have some fun with the ECWA fans and take the intensity of the tournament for granted? Or will he shock everyone by having some of his trademark never say die attitude? One things for certain the ECWA fans are in for a treat seeing this interesting new entrant in the tournament.
Grimsly looks to prove everyone wrong in the ECWA arena come April 5! If you’re a fan of independent wrestling you won’t want to miss this amazing night. More names will be announced over the coming weeks along with more attractions coming for the Tournament day itself.
