-The following announcement was made on the newly revamped GCW.Com. Stay tuned to the new GCW.com for all late-breaking Global Championship Wrestling news, results, images and show updates!
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS- Amanda Wallace had a startling announcement to submit to GCW.com on the day of it's relaunch. Today, GCW.com learned, as the world is doing at this very moment that Continental Heavyweight Champion, Shia Storm, has retired from the sport of professional wrestling.
"It's just another sad case of personal life interfering," Miss Wallace said in her official statement, before continuing with the following announcement.
"While it is unfortunate that GCW has lost it's Championship holder, it also bears fact that the show must go on. Therefore, at GCW Exodus on February 8th, there will be a one night tournament. In this tournament, the GCW Titans will fight in single-elimination matches until there are two men left standing in the end. Those two men will be named the new Number One Contenders for the vacated Continental Heavyweight Championship, and will headline GCW Absolution at the end of January, with the Championship on the line!
Just who will be in the tournament? That will be for the GCW Titans to decide. No one shall be exempt. If you want to start off 2009 as the GCW Continental Heavyweight, well, to condense the name, the GCW World Champion, as it will be changing its name as well, show up, make your statement, then win your matches. It's as simple as that."
This blockbuster announcement is sure to raise the excitement level that is being felt for the start of the new season, as anybody, it seems, new or old, could possibly become the new GCW World Champion! Stay tuned to GCW.Com for more future updates, and see you all for the official start of our season, February 8th!
