The hard-hitting lead singer for the metal band, God&#8217;s Hate, just debuted for <strong>AAW<\/strong> <strong>Pro<\/strong> in May in the same city of Chicago. With so many of the company&#8217;s former top stars leaving for <strong>WWE <\/strong>in recent years,\u00a0such as <strong>Keith<\/strong> <strong>Lee<\/strong> and <strong>Seth<\/strong> <strong>Rollins<\/strong>, it was a perfect time to establish new main event stars. \u201cSuper\u201d <strong>ACH<\/strong> had reigned atop AAW Pro for over 200 days and defeated all comers like the <strong>WRSTLING<\/strong> faction (<strong>Jeff<\/strong> <strong>Cobb<\/strong>, <strong>David<\/strong> <strong>Starr<\/strong>, <strong>Trevor<\/strong> <strong>Lee,<\/strong> and <strong>Eddie<\/strong> <strong>Kingston<\/strong>) but Brody King was just too much power at the Logan Square Auditorium in Chicago.

Such promotions as <strong>Bar<\/strong> <strong>Wrestling<\/strong> and <strong>Major League Wrestling<\/strong>\u00a0have booked Brody King and the monster impresses more with every match. <strong>Pro<\/strong> <strong>Wrestling<\/strong> <strong>Guerilla<\/strong>\u00a0put Brody King against PWG champion <strong>WALTER<\/strong> this year and King almost walked away the winner of that war despite having over a decade less experience. Brody King was trained at the <strong>Santino<\/strong> <strong>Bros<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Wrestling<\/strong> <strong>Academy\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0has developed a persona that is all about violence, not just by way of hardcore wrestling but adapting to a supremely intense style. Now that Brody King is the AAW heavyweight champion going into the upcoming\u00a0<strong>Seize<\/strong> <strong>The<\/strong> <strong>Day<\/strong> event, fans can expect lots of dangerous piledrivers in the future.<\/p>\n<p>This is just the beginning for the thirty-one year old from Los Angeles, California. The smash-mouth champion aligns himself with <strong>Jimmy<\/strong> <strong>Jacobs<\/strong> in AAW Pro so it will be interesting to see if King feels he no longer needs Jacobs or if they remain a violent tag team. There will be many big title matches in the future for Brody King, what\u2019s exciting is many will be first time encounters. <strong>Jeff<\/strong> <strong>Cobb<\/strong>, <strong>Rey<\/strong> <strong>Fenix<\/strong>, <strong>Pentagon<\/strong> <strong>Jr<\/strong> and <strong>AR<\/strong> <strong>Fox<\/strong> all could be considered top contende\u2019s to the AAW Heavyweight Championship as \u201cThe Violent Artist\u201d stands atop AAW Pro. <strong>IMPACT Wrestling<\/strong> may come calling to Brody King in the very near future after this championship win considering Impact Wrestling just signed \u201cThe Smokeshow\u201d <strong>Scarlett<\/strong> <strong>Bordeaux<\/strong>, <strong>OVE<\/strong>\u00a0(<strong>Sami<\/strong> <strong>Callihan<\/strong>, <strong>Dave<\/strong> and <strong>Jake<\/strong> <strong>Crist<\/strong>)\u00a0 others from AAW Pro.<\/p>\n<h3>#AndNEW: WRSTLING&#8217;s Tactics Lead to Tag Team Gold for David Starr and Eddie Kingston<\/h3>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">AND NEW AAW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, WRSTLING! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheProductDS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@TheProductDS<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Madking1981?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@MadKing1981<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Photo by: Basil Mahmud <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Beezzzzy?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@beezzzzy<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AAW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#AAW<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AAWPRO?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#AAWPRO<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/professionalwrestling?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#professionalwrestling<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/redefined?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#redefined<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/chicago?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#chicago<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AAWCHICAGO?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#AAWCHICAGO<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/destinationchicago?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#destinationchicago<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/icSS9mG2aD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/icSS9mG2aD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; AAW Wrestling (@AAWPro) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AAWPro\/status\/1035577553908625408?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 31, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Chicago hosted AAW Pro for two consecutive nights as another championship changed hands over the weekend. <strong>The<\/strong> <strong>Besties<\/strong> <strong>In<\/strong> <strong>The<\/strong> <strong>World<\/strong> (<strong>Davey<\/strong> <strong>Vega<\/strong> and <strong>Matt<\/strong> <strong>Fitchett<\/strong>) lost the AAW tag team championships to <strong>WRSTLING<\/strong> (<strong>David<\/strong> <strong>Starr<\/strong> and <strong>Eddie<\/strong> <strong>Kingston<\/strong>) when <strong>Jeff<\/strong> <strong>Cobb<\/strong> carried <strong>Scarlett<\/strong> <strong>Bordeaux<\/strong> down to the ring to distract Vega and Fitchet.\u00a0<strong>Eddie<\/strong> <strong>Kingston<\/strong> claimed if they won the AAW tag team championships they would make a freebird rule for the titles, meaning any two of the four from the faction could now defend the titles.
