Kevin Bennett Wins Smash Championship<\/h2>\n

It marks a long journey for the Buffalo native (and one of the infamous Buffalo Brothers<\/strong><\/a>), who debuted with Smash Wrestling back in 2015. The 8-year pro is also a regular with his hometown Empire State Wrestling (ESW)<\/strong> where he’s a former ESW Heavyweight Champion. For years now, Bennett and his faction, The Kevin Bennett Experience<\/strong>, have been one of the most hated villains in the company, and now the crooked MC is the top of the food chain in Toronto’s Smash Wrestling.<\/p>\n
