Joe Alonzo is a name that resonates within the professional wrestling circuit, known for his tenacity and willingness to put his career on the line. This article delves into the biography of Joe Alonzo, highlighting his career, notable matches, and contributions to various wrestling promotions.
AAW Career and the "Hair vs. Career" Match
Joe Alonzo not only saved his career but also ensured his opponent’s kid returned home with a brand new haircut. Former NWA Junior Heavyweight Champion Joe Alonzo put his career on the line in a match this past weekend. The match was promoted as “Alonzo’s AAW Career vs. Stevie’s Hair.” Unfortunately for the six-year-old kid, his father failed to send Alonzo packing out of the AAW.
A valiant Stevie responded by hitting Joe with a flurry of slaps to loud cheers from the crowd. However, that was just about all the offense he could muster. As Joe and his lackey tried to whip Chuck Smooth with a pair of kendos, Colt Cabana rushed to the ring to make the save.
It appears that Joe Alonzo’s future with AAW is intact following his win over Chuck Smooth.
