Donovan Astros ends Ravager's epic title reign!
In a stunning match-up, Donovan Astros defeated Ravager tonight, July 31st, to become the new NAPW Champion. Ravager had held the title from February 5th, 2007 and had racked up a record 10 title defenses.
The champion entered the match-up with several broken ribs, a good-bye present from Jade and Karnage one week before this contest. Yet there was no quit in Ravager as he and Astros went toe to toe. Despite being bloodied both on the forehead and internally, evidenced by the blood coming from the mouth, Ravager kicked out of the Astrocide to the shock and delight of the Calgary fans. One Last Resort later, and the champion retained for the 11th time.
Or so the fans though.
Astros himself summoned up an incredible will to win. He caught Ravager going to the top rope with devastating shots to the injured ribs, and then was able to connect with a sickening top-rope Astrocide. And that was enough to finally put away Ravager and end his epic title reign. Fittingly, the Calgary fans chanted "Thank You, Ravager!" after the contest was concluded.
As NAPW Champion, Ravager came to define NAPW's hard-hitting, competitive style with tenacity, honor and integrity. What kind of champion will Donovan Astros be? Only time will tell, but the measuring stick for NAPW champion has been set forever high by Ravager.
Astros now takes the NAPW title overseas, where it will be defended as part of ECFW's world tour. Astros can make his mark early, by successfully defending the title around the world and making it the NAPW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP. Stay tuned.
