Afa the Wild Samoan Devastated About Luna Vachon's Passing
It was a very sad moment in my family this morning when I received news that we lost Luna Vachon, who I referred to as "My Angel". I remember when she was just in a young girl at 13, traveling with her family. She was good friends with my kids, they all grew up on the road together. We shared so many good times, and I was so proud of her and her career and accomplishments in this business. We remained close for over three decades, and she was very important in my life as well as in my family's life. She always referred to me as "Papa Samoa", and I was proud to call her my "daughter". Whenever she had problems or would get in trouble, she would always call me to alert me before it hit the Internet. One of the times that I can remember with a smile is when she beat up the tour leader in the Bahamas, and at 2:30 a.m. my phone rang and the first thing she said was "I'm sorry Papa, but...I did something you're not going to like." When I asked what she did, she replied "I beat somebody up. Well I AM part Samoan!" and laughed.
I'm one of the very few people who she listened to, which is why she called me when she'd get in trouble. Although she went through a hard life, she was always able to pull herself together. When things started to fall apart, she would always have me to call on.
My love and prayers go out to Luna's mother and the entire Vachon family, her sons, the wrestling world, and everyone who knew and loved Luna. I will personally miss her, and am so sad that she has left us so soon. But like all the others, I know she has a place up in Heaven.
Have a safe trip, my daughter...

WXW Referee Kevin Grogan Breaks Records in Triathlon Race!
Sunday, May 23rd was the second stop of three in the Surf Coast Trifecta Multisport Series.

Grogan, who also won the overall title at the Cocoa Beach Triathlon (Series Race #1) in mid April, covered the course (a 20 mile bike followed by a 6.2 mile run) in a blistering 1:30:50. Grogan's time was a new course record and bested the next closet competitor by over six minutes in a field of close to 250 athletes. With Sundays win, the WXW's Grogan is very close to claiming the Series overall title & also claiming a nice chunk of the $3,000 Series prize purse. The final race is the Dad's Day Triathlon in Melbourne on June 20th.

Full Results of X-Treme War!
WXW April 10th, 2010 XTREME WAR RESULTS
PACKED HOUSE AT THE THE MINNEOLA RECREATION CENTER!
FIRST ANNUAL XTREME WAR BATTLE ROYAL BRINGS ONE OF THE BIGGEST SURPRISES IN WXW HISTORY!
RULES CHANGE ON THE FLY IN THE XTREME WAR!
NEW CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION CROWNED!
1) SPECIAL ATTRACTION: Winner is the No. 30 Entrant into XTREME WAR, the loser enters at No. 1.
Richard J. Criado, "The Perfect Creation" def. C.J. O'Doyle
Perfect Creation grabbed the mic after the bell rang and told CJ that he wanted to be the first entrant into XTREME WAR to prove a point, and laid down so CJ could pin him. CJ didn't want to do it, and looked to the crowd who encouraged him to do it. As CJ bent over to make the cover Creation rolled up CJ into a tight pin and got the 1, 2, 3! PC dove out of the ring as CJ tried to grab him. CJ received an ovation and he came to grips with the fact that he would have to be No. 1 and go through 29 other men if he were to win the XTREME WAR!
2) MIXED TAG TEAM MATCH: WXW Ladies Champion KIMBERLY & ELF def. The Puerto Rican Hound Dogg & ZOE
3) Gu$ Money def. Sean Maluta to become the NEW WXW Cruiserweight Champion
Sean got the belt and congratulated Gus. As Gus turned around, Sean attacked Gus, viciously beating Gus down. Sean Maluta has turned his back on his fans, as he was loudly booed all they way to the back.
4) WXW Tag Team Champions The Hatchet City All-Stars and The European Union (Neil Faith & Adam Windsor) fought to a double count out.
5) WXW TV Champion Kid Breeze def. Brett Thunder to retain the title
Kid Breeze was able to retain his belt, but only after inference from SEAN MALUTA! It now appears Kid Breeze and Maulta are working together as the distraction caused by Sean allowed Breeze to hit his devastating Inziguri kick to get the pin.
6) NON TITLE - HARDCORE RULES
WXW Heavyweight Champion DYLAN NIGHT w/Candi def. Nick Folie
The hardcore specialist Nick Folie was in his element in this match against the WXW Champion Dylan Night. Folie brought chairs, ladders, and table laced with BARBED WIRE! Amazingly Dylan was able to withstand most of the attacks Folie could muster, and finally dropped Folie onto the table to get the pin! Folie put up a very surprising performance against the WXW Champion, perhaps even surprising himself!
INTERMISSION

Nero and PC were going toe to toe in the corner, when the ref stepped in and got nailed by PC in the back of the head! PC low blowed Nero, and left the ring to get a chair. PC entered the ring and was about to nail Nero with it when C.J. O'Doyle came out and grabbed the chair from PC, hit him in the gut with it, placed it on the mat and delivered his Diamond Cutter to PC on the chair! Nero got up and covered Perfect Creation for the 1, 2, 3 to win the XTREME WAR!
Nick Nero, WXW ROOKIE and Wild Samoan Training Center graduate, defeated the 14-year veteran Perfect Creation in one of the biggest upsets in WXW History! Nero is now the No. 1 Contender to the WXW Heavyweight Title! WXW Champion Dylan Night came out to "congratulate " Nero with a mocking applause to end the show.

RIP Former Wild Samoan Training Center Student Chris Kanyon
I was very sad to hear the news today that one of my kids, my former student Chris Kanyon, passed away. Chris trained at my Wild Samoan Training Center with his good friend Billy Kidman, and the two of them went on to make me proud. I have wonderful memories of the times that we had barbecues, award banquets, and the time he spent with me at my home in Pensacola, FL. The wrestling world will miss him, and especially me and my family.
Another good one leaves us way too soon, but I know he is being welcomed in Heaven by all of his wrestling peers who have gone before him. My deepest condolences to his family, friends, and fans.
God bless,
Afa the Wild Samoan
