A look at young Nigerian pro Hardman ahead of his Pro Wrestling Africa debut set for Christmas Eve
“My time to reign supreme has come” – De Hardman
*Promises his opponent a tough bout*
A hardman according to the Oxford dictionary simply means a tough, aggressive, or ruthless man while Urban dictionary describes a hardman as generally someone who isn't afraid to speak up for his beliefs or even fight if it comes to it and all those describes the Nigerian Hardman who depicts the word in every sense of it having paid his dues as a hardman in the Nigerian pro wrestling circles.
De Hardman who was nurtured by the legendary Jimmy Palm “The African Dream,” the head coach who also runs the African Wrestling Organization (AWO), has been trained to a standard. The young and talented Tochukwu Johnson, Hardman’s real name, is a great Nigerian skillful grappler who has plans to reign supreme in the world of Nigerian, African and even world professional wrestling among the meanest, toughest and the roughest in the industry as that has made him to focus on traveling to Nepal in the coming year first to compete briefly before hopefully storming WWE in the USA to enable him to wrestle among the who is who in the world market of the professional wrestling industry.
The Abuja based, young, skillful, stylish, and well rated superstar who hails from Abia State in Nigeria has his name as Tochukwu Johnson. He has been residing and competing in Abuja, the federal capital territory of Nigeria and he is preparing and getting set to participate in the Pro Wrestling Africa End of the Year Pro Wrestling Extravaganza 2023 scheduled to be held at the Wrestling Arena of the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos on Sunday 24thh December, 2023.
Participating wrestlers have been engaging themselves in a war of words and they are indeed serious about dethroning each other to reign supreme as the wrestling champions under the Pro Wrestling Africa (PWA) banner. Noble talents from the African Wrestling Organization (AWO) would also be competing under their separate stables during the timely Christmas Eve Bash championship. Apart from De Hardman, who has vowed to reign supreme at the Christmas Eve bash, other well rated and talented wrestlers that would be showcased that same night are: Mr. Sharpman, Jimmy Palm Jnr, 6.5, USA Bing of Democratic Republic of Congo, Black Heritage, Eagle De Great Nail, Rodrick Fred, Alexandra De Queen and Blaze for the ladies category amongst others.
‘’I will definitely reign supreme come 2023 Christmas Eve night. I have done it before and I will definitely do it again and again. Professional wrestling is my business. Professional wrestling is my passion. I sleep, eat and drink wrestling. I have been a wrestling talent as a kid, I have a list of my favorite talents and Roman Reigns stands out among them all. He is my role model and I am proud of him.” Roman, whose real name as Leati Joseph Anoa’i, is an American professional wrestler, actor, and former professional gridiron football player.
I want to thank and appreciate the management of Pro Wrestling Africa (PWA) and the African Wrestling Organization (AWO) for deeming it fit to come together to run this show. There is strength in unity and I can say that again.
