Cedric Alexander On Dropping Weight

Cedric Alexander who is now under WWE contract and expected to be one of the focal points of the Cruiserweight Division, was recently interviewed by the Charlotte Observer. He discussed dropping weight to be eligible for the Cruiserweight Classic:

“I thought I was in shape at 230. I do way better in this weight class. I felt lighter on my feet and my joints weren’t aching so much from carrying around so much weight. I was a whole different animal.”

He also discussed fans chanting “please sign Cedric” after he was eliminated by Kota Ibushi:

“That really threw me off. I was already full of emotion from wrestling Ibushi – who, ironically, when we were doing interviews (for the show) that is the guy I wanted to wrestle. When the brackets worked out, that was enough to make me tear up. But hearing the crowd… my trainer, George South, used to say, ‘Sometimes when you lose, you really win.'”

As seen recently on RAW Alexander may be entering a romantic storyline with Alicia Fox.

The following press release announces this year’s Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame class. In many respects this Hall of Fame is more legitimate than WWE’s:

Professional Wrestling has a rich history in Texoma, North Texas, Oklahoma, New York, Japan, Hawaii and around the World. Since moving to Texoma, increasing the awareness of the PWHF, we receive numerous notes from around the Globe from fans of wrestling. Here’s a tidbit from one of our many fans along the way…..

“As a child, I got into wrestling by watching WWF in the 80’s. It was the discovery of World Class that got me into the history of the sport. It was the wrestling magazines that got me involved in journalism as I wanted to write for those same magazines. All these years later and I still watch the current product, research and learn the history, and I’m still writing as well.”: ~ Michael McCurdy

Preserving the rich history of all Professional Wrestling, honoring & celebrating the Men & Women who put their lives on the line to entertain others is the reason the PWHF was organized.

The Induction Weekend of celebration activities will begin with a Comedy Show and Q&A on Thursday, May 18 th , Friday, May 19 th Wrestling Under the Stars with rising Indy stars and Saturday, May 20th including a trade show, Meet & Greet with past & current PWHF Inductees and legends ending with the Induction Banquet where Inductees will be presented with their PWHF custom ring, custom American Hat Co. hat with their name embossed in the band (just like the President-elect is being made) and their Hall of Fame plaque, like the one that will forever hang in the hall.
