Woonsocket Native Crowned New Showcase Pro Wrestling Champion

The hometown hero was crowned the champion of Showcase Pro Wrestling last Saturday.

The rookie Aaron Cole, known as DJ AC, defeated former champion Sensational Scott Levesque.

Levesque called out Cole for being disrespectful and said that “nothing good has ever come from Woonsocket” and that “DJ AC was a prime example of what is wrong with the city,” according to a press release.

Levesque then challenged Cole to a title match with intentions of defeating him in front of his hometown and family.

Cole rolled out of the way when Levesque climbed to the top of the rope for a third knee drop. He used the ropes as momentum and dropped Levesque to the mat with a “tornado elbow” to the head.

Cole pinned Levesque 7:35 into the match and wrestlers poured into the ring to congratulate him after he was crowned champion.

Cole will wrestle for various promotions for the next few weeks. He will defend his title on Friday, Feb. 6. at Showcase Pro Wrestling, 126 Main St.
