SPW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
CHAMPION: Jethro Hawg
The road to glory began with the 2012 Red River Rumble followed by the 3rd annual Kerry Brown Memorial Tournament. Defeating Rob Stardom in the tournament finals also resulted in Jethro Hawg being crowned the new SPW Heavyweight Champion. After more than twenty years on the scene, Hawg felt that his time in SPW would be his swan song and looked forward with helping the next generation. The next generation is what pushed him outside his comfort zone and to another level resulting in one of the biggest moments of his career.
At only 16 years of age, Hawg wrestled regularly for the AWA at the Winnipeg Arena. When the WWF took over, Hawg wrestled for them too during a live event at the arena. He later spent much of his career travelling up and down the winter roads with Tony Condello on the now infamous “Northern Death Tours” with the likes of Lance Storm, Christian, Chris Jericho and Edge. Because of his unique personality, Jethro Hawg was featured on the CBC’s hit TV show “On the Road Again”, gaining national exposure.
Young at heart and in spirit, Jethro Hawg has proven that hard work pays off and in 2012 all that hard work has paid off in spades!

CHAMPIONS: Mike Mission & Cory Diamond

In one of SPW’s feel good stories of the year, Fletcher found great success as the inaugural SPW Hardcore Champion, a title he has now held on three occasions. Rechristened from Chip “the Kid” Fletcher to “Hardcore Kid” Chip Fletcher, he’s been in some intense battles with like of “Scarhead” Sydney Manson, Samuel and Kevy Chevy earning himself a reputation as one of the toughest, most hardcore men on the SPW roster. Whether he’s weileding a steel chair or a kendo stick, Chip Fletcher wears the SPW Hardcore Championship with great pride and honour. This is one guy you do not want to meet in a darkly lit, weapon filled alley.
