RTGA vs. Fils Arabe at Brazzaville Departmental Championship in Talangaï. Catch congolais

In a bout from Sunday, March 3, 2024 in Talangaï, Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo, RTGA Du Pouvoir Lion puts his Championship of the Congo on the line against Fils Arabe. This bout features a clash between the two popular pro wrestling styles in the Congo. Classic style and catch fetiche, sometimes known as Congolese style. The video features RTGA making his way to the ring through the big crowd that has gathered, a ceremony where RTGA relinquishes the Brazzaville Championship prior to the match, and a visit with a hurting Fils Arabe following the match. RTGA relinquishing the Brazzaville Championship is a pretty big deal in this video. RTGA had been reigning as both Champion of Brazzaville and Champion of the Congo simultaneously and, from the digging I have done, it appears as if he is the only wrestler to ever hold his city’s top title and the country’s national championship at the same time. As part of the annual departmental championship, where the top champion of the city is decided, the reigning champion must relinquish and then regain the belt after defending it in challenge matches throughout the year of their reign. In the case of RTGA, since he is already reigning champion of the Congo, he was removed from the field of this year’s departmental championship and has therefore officially ended his reign as double champion without losing the title belt.
