On This Day Three Years Ago…

Refueled IV – June 14th, 2019
HOW World Title Match: Brian Hollywood vs. Halitosis

After both men struggle to their feet, Halitosis and Hollywood run at each other. The two men both go for spears, cracking their heads.

Joe Hoffman: Both men had the same idea!

Both men stagger and slump to the mat.

Benny Newell: WAIT A MINUTE!

Boettcher counts.

1

Joe Hoffman: HOLD ON!

2

Benny Newell: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

3!

DING DING DING

Brian McVay: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… AND NEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW HOW WORLD CHAMPION…… HALLLLITOOOOOOSISSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

The crowd roar in approval

Both men are out.

Benny Newell: THIS CAN’T HAPPEN!

Joe Hoffman: Both men attempted spears but Halitosis fell on top of Hollywood! In fact, Benny, I don’t think either man realizes what has happened yet!

Boettcher points at Halitosis and raises his hand in the air, confirming the decision.

Boettcher grabs the freshly polished, beautiful #97red leather and drapes it over the chest of Halitosis.

With the win, Halitosis became the first HOW World Champion of the Refueled era.  He would also go on to become the first two-time World Champion of the Refueled era later in the year and wrestling as Joe Bergman also won the tag team title in 2020 as well.

Brian Hollywood won the tag title with Darin Zion (The Hollywood Boyz) and also had a run with the HOTv title.

It’s only fitting that three years after Halitosis and Hollywood had their epic match in the finals of the HOW World Title Tournament in 2019, Joe Bergman (Halitosis) and Brian Hollywood do battle one more time this Sunday night at Refueled 100- the final Refueled show.
