H2O Wrestling’s Unlucky 13 Tournament & the New H2O Danny Havoc Hardcore Champion
On February 17th, H2O Wrestling hosted Causing Havoc, featuring the Unlucky 13 Tournament. A tournament in which Bam Sullivan would defend his H2O Danny Havoc Hardcore Championship throughout. In an interesting turn of events, the Championship would change hands in the Semi-Finals, as Jimmy Lyon would defeat Bam Sullivan in an Unhealthy Choices Deathmatch to become the new H2O Danny Havoc Hardcore Champion. In victory, Jimmy Lyon ended Bam Sullivan’s second reign with the Championship at 203 days in his eighth defense as Champion.
If Jimmy Lyon wished to leave the H2O Wrestling Center as Champion, he would have to defeat fellow finalist: Neil Diamond Cutter, in an Electrified Lighttubes Deathmatch Finals. Ultimately, it would be Neil Diamond Cutter who would win both the Unlucky 13 Tournament, and the H2O Danny Havoc Hardcore Championship as he defeated Jimmy Lyon. In victory, Neil ended Jimmy Lyon’s reign as Champion in his first defense after mere minutes as Champion; making Jimmy Lyon officially the Shortest Reigning Champion in the title’s history. Congratulations to Neil Diamond Cutter for both accomplishments on the night!
