I don't know how many of you get/read these, but the latest DGUSA/WWN Live newsletter has a small trivia section about the ECW Arena. In the midst of your standard fun facts was this: Now, I am quite familiar with XPW. It's this "Wicked Hanuman" that I'm clueless about. A quick Google search netted me the following: - The promotion seemed to be filled with CZW outcasts, random indie guys (Christian Faith and Vincent Nothing) and Test, for some reason.
- The main event was Raven versus Super Leather (Corporal Kirschner)
- There is more than one blog post that says the promotion's name is "insulting to Hindus."
So I ask: Who were these guys, and why are they in the same category as XPW? To be completely honest, I'm half tempted to order the DVD just to see how bad it is. |

I assumed from the name it'd be a heel Indian wrestler. No idea.

Raven versus Corporal Kirschner is a main event in every company.

When the ONLY thing somewhat related to the promotion is a MySpace page that hasn't seen a comment in 4 years.....I don't think it counts as a "promotion" anymore.

I want to see a Wicked Hanuman. Could be a fun gimmick.

They only had one show ever to my knowledge. I went to an ROH show at the armory and the Hanuman People had put flyers on all the cars. That's the only reason I'm aware of their existence

From what I remember, some guy had a bunch of money to run a show and it was hyped as the next big indy fed, only they ended up running one show.

Someone should post a screen cap of the lower thirds from the DVD. They had a hanuman graphic.
