“I will win the PWA cruiserweight wrestling championship title and present it to my Zimbabwean President, His Excellency, Emmerson Mnangagwa in commemoration of his 6 years in office as the president of the Republic of Zimbabwe. He has indeed done well as he chairs the national cabinet in the last 6 years and has been the chief commanding authority of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces. The President was installed on 24th November 2017 so if I win an African Wrestling championship title fight on the 25th November 2023 and present to the president as a sign of appreciation of his good governance and great leadership roles, I sincerely think that, that is on the right direction. He is indeed a worthy leader to be emulated by other youths” explained ‘’Stability the Man’’.
Seasoned and stylish “Stability the Man” who is the first male born and the second child in the family of six children boasted that he is battle ready to defeat TJ Tremor as has indeed contributed a quota to the development and upliftment of professional wrestling in Zimbabwe, a Southern Africa nation. Edward’s brother does domestic body building at the peak, so sporting activities runs in the family to an extent.
“I have what it takes to defeat South African born “The Dream Machine” TJ Tremor. Though he is currently on tour of Europe, I don’t have issues with that. No problem. I have what it takes to slug it out with him. I have also been training in the rain, in the sun, on the mountain top and even in the valley. I am not supposed to fight for the title now, but I thank the federation’s President Mr. Tapiwa who suggested I go for it so that Zimbabwe as a nation can also be represented in the world of African pro wrestling. I decided not to miss the opportunity then I indicated interest.
‘’I just can’t wait to win and present the belt to my President who has done well for the nation of Zimbabwe. It may not be easy achieving this project, but it is very possible. I also have plans to compete for the title in Harare, Zimbabwe as it will not be possible for anybody to rob me in front of my fellow Zimbabweans which can happen in any other parts of the world especially in South Africa where TJ Tremor hails from” explained the stylish grappler. “I need to fight and win at home, charity begins at home. No place like home. I am sure of victory at home. After clinching the title, I will present it to the president of Zimbabwe, His Excellency Emmerson Mnangagwa for his supportive roles to sporting events, good governance, peaceful initiatives and for all his efforts and plans to take the Republic of Zimbabwe to the next level” he concluded.
Pro Wrestling Africa the sanctioning African body is currently working round the clock to see to the success of the championship in Zimbabwe but the Zimbabwe Wrestling Federation in conjunction with Zimbabwe Boxing & Wrestling Board of Control should go into discussion with the sports management authorities in Harare so as to have a successful and hitch free championship.
According to Olusesan Olukoya the Secretary General of the Pro Wrestling Africa (PWA): ‘We at the Pro Wrestling Africa are set to revolutionize the African Wrestling to what is obtainable in the western world. We have the talents, the techniques, gimmicks, and basically, what we lack is the exposure to the international world of the game which we are currently taking care of” he narrated. “We have taken the African Pro-wrestling crusade to Benin Republic, Ghana, Cameroon, Burkina Faso and now we are set to storm Zimbabwe in Southern Africa in November towards the end of the year” he concluded.
