Has 2011 been the year of BOOM BOOM?
In a year when Colt Cabana wins such covenant championships like the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship, the JCW World Championshit, and even recently winning a championship title in Chile, could the year of 2011 be Colt Cabana’s? Cabana recently won a championship that has always had a special place in Southern California, the APW Internet Championship. That title has been worn by some of the best in SoCal, Super Dragon, Bryan Danielson, TJ Perkins, Christopher Daniels and B-Boy. Along with his recent appearances for Wrestling Revolution Project, the Art of Wrestling Podcast, and all the name dropping he’s getting from CM Punk, 2011 has been a stellar year for Cabana.
The Lebel Family to be inducted into the NWA Hall of Fame
The next inductees into the NWA Hall of Fame are actually a family entry Aileen LeBell Eaton and her sons, Mike and Gene LeBell were a California promotional dynasty! “Lady Aileen” got into boxing and wrestling promotion alongside her second husband, outlaw promoter Cal Eaton. When Cal passed away, Aileen ran the company herself, becoming such a major figure in the boxing world she was featured in an article in Sports Illustrated and was the first woman inducted into the Int’l Boxing Hall of Fame! At the same time, she promoted regular wrestling events at the Olympic Auditorium in L.A. Her sons Mike and Gene took over the wrestling promotion and were responsible for the famous Blassie-Tolos feud talked about in Freddie Blassie’s bio and the influx of lucha talent like Mil Mascaras. “Judo” Gene is perhaps the greatest U.S.-born martial artist and judoka and refereed the historic match between Muhammed Ali and Antonio Inoki! The NWA Hall of Fame has a family-sized spot reserved for Aileen LeBell Eaton, Mike LeBell, and Gene LeBell!!
