To further honor our friend on Saturday, March 4th, the match between Qefka the Quiet & Billy Avery will now be a FANS BRING THE MUFFINS MATCH. Yes, you read it right.

"Thank You, Hogan" Thursday, February 2nd 2017 is a day that's going to hurt for a long time. Whether you're a new fan of On Point or have been with us since the beginning, there's a very good chance you ran into Kevin Hogan at an OPW event or any number of independent wrestling events in the northeast. Affectionately known as Whack Packer or the Muffin Man, Kevin touched a great many of people in the industry. Some members of the OPW family offered up these comments on social media: "Kevin Hogan was the indy version of the ECW fan, Hat Guy. Any & every show, everyone knew Hogan. Rest in peace, buddy." - Loudy "RIP to one of the most beloved independent wrestling fans, Kevin "Whack Packer" Hogan. A sad day for everyone." - Joey Janela "Heartbroken to hear about the loss of Kevin Hogan. One of the most universally beloved guys in the indie wrestling scene." - Gran Akuma "RIP Kevin Hogan. Unreal. As Tony Deppen just said to me, wrestling needs more guys like him." - Jeff Cannonball "Totally shocked & saddened by the passing of Kevin Hogan. Such a great human being & a lover of wrestling. The shows won't be the same without you man. Rest easy my brother." - Lowlife Louie "Still can't believe & very saddened that long time wrestling fan Kevin Hogan has passed. Truly passionate about wrestling & all around awesome person who put smiles on everyone's faces. Shows won't be the same anymore without you front & center with Cluck!" - Steve Scott "I'm saddened to hear that the wrestling community has lost Kevin Hogan. I'll miss seeing his face at literally every wrestling show." - Referee Dan Yost Throughout the day, OPW Management was trying to figure out the best way to pay tribute to a man who had such a positive impact on a lot of people. Late Thursday night, "The Bulldozer" Matt Tremont gave us the answer. "I know various promotions will be doing something special to honor Kevin Hogan for his years of support. After talking with Jim Molineaux at OTW & Jeff at OPW...at the next On Point Wrestling event in Williamstown, NJ on March 4th, we will hang a banner in memory of the "Muffin Man" in the venue. That banner will hang when On Point runs there every other month. And starting March 4th & going forward for all OPW LIVE events at OTW Arena, the venue will be renamed the................ 'Kevin Hogan Memorial Hall'. I'm going to reach out to his family so they can be present as well. Hogan's name will live on forever. A big thank you to Hogan for all his years of supporting professional wrestling, and all the local promotions in the area. Hogan was present for every On Point event since we started in 2013. This will be our small part in paying homage to someone that meant a great deal to so many people in the wrestling community." Please join us on March 4th in Williamstown, NJ as we say farewell to a fallen friend & bring down the house as he watches in a front row seat from up above. You're going to be sorely missed, Kevin. Rest easy.
