D-Hoya made a triumphant return to the ring last night at NZWPW Bringing Down the House, defeating Ben Mana to advance to Power Play VII and compete for the right to train at Lance Storm’s Wrestling Academy in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Mana warned D-Hoya not to step in the ring with him, or he would end the six-time NZWPW Champion’s career once and for all. D-Hoya refused to be intimidated though and kicked the match off with some hard shots to Mana’s head.
The two men traded blows before Ben Mana scored an early advantage and knocked D-Hoya off his feet with multiple clotheslines. With Hoya grounded, Mana went after the former champ’s legs in an attempt to keep him on the mat.
When D-Hoya got back to his feet Mana whipped him into the corner and sent him crumpling back to the mat before removing one of the turnbuckle pads and whipping D-Hoya into the now exposed steel turnbuckle. The force of the blow rattled the ring and unhinged one of the turnbuckles in the opposite corner - detaching the top rope from the ring!
D-Hoya looked to knock Mana down with the Liquidiser but Mana scouted the shot, took Hoya to the mat and locked him into the Mana Stretch! D-Hoya was able to shake Mana off though and get back to his feet.
Ben Mana whipped D-Hoya into the ropes and lined up a clothesline for the former six-time NZWPW champ, but D-Hoya countered into a head-scissors before spiking Mana onto his head! D-Hoya then crawled on top of his downed opponent for the three count. With this win, D-Hoya advances to Power Play VII to compete for a place at Lance Storm’s Wrestling Academy.
