This upcoming Saturday night, November 17 in Wittorf, Germany, I’m scheduled to put my recently won DWA World Heavyweight Championship on the line at an annual German event called Harley Night.
Challenging me will be former DWA World Champion from several years back, Joe E. Legend. Joe also happens to be Canadian, just like myself, and in the latter half of the ’90s he briefly wrestled for WWE as Just Joe.
I know Joe from my early beginnings in pro wrestling, going back to my sophomore year in the business. It was the year 1995 and Joe took the Greyhound bus down from Toronto to rendezvous with me in Sudbury, Ontario to drive onward to Winnipeg, Manitoba to wrestle for Tony Condello’s IWA. On that same tour were Ultimo Dragon from Japan, Chris Jericho, Sexton Hardcastle (WWE’s Edge), Lance Storm, Bad News Allen and former AWA World Heavyweight Champion, Rick Martel. It was a star-studded tour to be sure, and it was a crash course for a green boy like myself back at that time.
Joe Legend is a veteran of the ring wars, just like myself, here 23 years later. How ironic, that we meet under these circumstances now this coming weekend at DWA’s Harley Night!
Be that as it may, Joe E. Legend is in for the fight of his life in one week’s time. He’s a former DWA World Champion and I plan on making it stay that way.
