Scheduled for this episode:

PWO Championship: Josh Prohibition vs. Gregory Iron
Just two weeks removed from one of the most opportunistic and undeserving championship victories in recent memory anywhere, Josh Prohibition’s already-contracted match with “One Armed and Dangerous” Gregory Iron has been confirmed as now being a PWO Championship Match. Prohibition had been obsessed and consumed with the PWO Title for many months, before challenging and defeating prior champion M-Dogg 20 Matt Cross moments after Cross’ victory over Prohibition’s partner Johnny Gargano. Gargano is expected to be in Josh’s corner as Prohibition is challenged by a very gutsy and game young athlete. Iron has overcome and surpassed expectations before, and holds victories over some of PWO’s elite. But with the experience and deviousness of Prohibition, and impending issues with Jimmy DeMarco, can the “Crippled Crusader” pull of the biggest win of his career. And how far will Prohibition go to retain the title it took him nearly one year to acquire?

Matthew Justice w/Morty Rackem vs. “Big Bear” Benjamin Boone
After months of disagreements between the duo known as Pirate Justice, this week’s match-up for Matthew Justice seems to have “Bloody” Morty Rackem’s fingerprints all over it once again. Ben Boone has been on an absolute tear ever since aligning himself with “Amazing” N8 Mattson and leaving Ohio to move to Michigan. It seems Rackem requested this match-up for Justice as a way to “teach Matt a lesson”. However, Justice has stared into the face of Rackem, and all of his opponents, and refused to change his ways or compromise his beliefs. Will Justice survive “Big Bear” Ben Boone, and what is next in the ongoing saga of Pirate Justice?

Michael Cash Talks To Hobo Joe
Our esteemed broadcast colleague Michael Cash catches up with a recently made-over Hobo Joe, complete with new suit and clean-shaved face after the advice from Aaron Maguire. Maguire’s attempts at buttering up his friend Joe, have yet to result in Maguire gaining any money from Hobo’s recent lottery winnings, meaning Maguire is still in debt, and in danger of being on the receiving end of a Gambino Brother “hit”. Hobo will be joined by good friend and tag partner Bobby Beverly as he addresses the fans and discusses his recent life-changing experiences. Will Aaron, The Gambinos, or anyone else make their presence known?

Super Hentai Speaks
The internationally-traveled, Japanese-trained controlled frenzy known as Super Hentai addresses his issues with Morty Rackem from two weeks ago, and his personal vendetta with Johnny Gargano. Who, if anyone, will be able to slow down Super Hentai?

New Rock Show
Ernie Ballz & Brian Bender have angered, annoyed, and offended… well, just about everybody, with their overbearing talk segment The Rock Show. Who will they attempt to torment this week?

All this and more! If you don’t get Sports Time Ohio, call your cable or satellite provider and demand it!

PWO: Two New Videos Added to YouTube.com

Pro Wrestling Ohio adds two new news-worthy clips from recent episodes of PWO TV to our online video library!

PWO: Josh Prohibition’s Opportunistic Title Victory

Josh Prohibition had been consumed with the PWO Championship ever since being defeated by M-Dogg 20 Matt Cross to become the first champion last August at “Wrestlelution”. Johnny Gargano, Prohibition’s student, partner, and ally for the entire history of PWO, had earned a shot at the championship. With Prohibition by his side, would Gargano be able to unseat the “Innovator of Aerial Insanity”? Watch as Josh Prohibition sneaks in the back door, capitalzes on opportunity, bypasses the PWO Championship Committee, and ends up with the PWO Championship… perhaps, at the expense of everyone. Even Johnny Gargano.

Hobo Joe & Aaron Maguire Shopping Spree

Life-long underachiever Hobo Joe saw his life change forever when he found a lottery ticket worth $25,000. However, when former power-agent and now also homeless Aaron Maguire saw Hobo’s less than wise spending habits, he decided to show the Dumpster Dweller how to handle his money. Aaron Maguire helps Hobo Joe upgrade his image, but with a life-threatening debt looming in his near future, does Aaron want more than just the happyness of his friend?

Results – DWA in Sayler Park, OH – 5/23/09

The Memorial Holiday weekend meant that the stars of the Dynamic Wrestling Alliance were invading the Parkland Theatre in the community of Sayler Park,OH. The rowdy crowd was ready as DWA President Tony Baritone ran down a list of the matches and the stars appearing.

Once done, the first match was between The NightKrawler and “The Showcase” Beauregard Jefferson Davis, who was led by Colonel Jonathan James.The action was hot and fast, but in the end, Double J Enterprises prevailed as Davis hit NightKrawler with his airplane spin-into a neckbreaker and picked up the victory.

Next, “The Boss” called Princeton Travis to the ring to talk about his ankle injury. He told the crowd that he was attacked at the gym by an unknown assailant, though he had and idea about who it was. Travis was visibly down because the injury kept him out of the original main event against HEAVYWEIGHT champion, Phantom. After a few minutes, Malice and Natasha Rivers came out and Princeton was attacked by the co-holder of the TAG TEAM belts. Malice stayed in the ring as Travis was helped to the back and squared off against “The Fighting Irish” Ryan O’Brian. Deep into the match, O’Brian hit the ropes, only to be grabbed by Rivers. This distracted him long enough for Malice to be into position to hit him with a Reverse DDT and grab the tights for the win.

The third match saw the Royal Battler defeat “High Flying” Orlando Savage in a “Battle Royal Rules” match.

After Intermission, The Boss began an interview with Jordan Lachey, only to be interrupted by The Regulator. The Regulator ran him and the crowd down, saying it made him sick because all of the fans sent him letters and prayed for him to recover. He called Lachey a gutless coward and dared Jordan to hit him after slapping him a half-dozen times. Lachey turned the other cheek and left the ring as Regulator hurled insult after insult at him. A few moments later, Jordan walked back out and after acting as if he were granting Regulator’s wish, left the ring once again.

The fourth match was a tag team contest pitting The head of Double J Enterprises, Colonel Jonathan James and “Bulldog” Dan Hansen against Bad News. But when Bad News was introduced, only Pete emerged from the dressing room. While explaining that car trouble prevented Keith from appearing, the Colonel figured it was a trick and was checking under the ring. Jess Harley made her way to the ring to lend support to Pete soon before he hit “The Bulldog” with the swanton bomb. The count was broken up by James who bodyslammed News and splashed him. After pulling Pete off the mat on the two-count, The Colonel moved to yell at Harley, who then slapped James. This sent James to the center of the ring where he tripped up Hansen attempting to suplex News, who fell on top of the Bulldog for the win.

Next was another page in the book of the feud between “The Franchise” Damien Daniels and “Lightning” Tim Lutz. Midway through the match, Lutz hit the Blockbuster on Daniels but a few moments later, “The Franchise” reversed the momentum catching Tim in the Torture Rack and hit The Devil’s Backbone on him for the win.

This brought the fans to the main event with Jordan Lachey taking on “Canadian Destroyer” Bull Newlun. Lachey hit Bull with everything he had and Newlun took it, only to hit Jordan right back. At one point, Newlun knocked Jordan through the side door and almost over the railing. Near the end of the match, Lachey whipped Bull into the turnbuckle. As he charged, Newlun pulled the ref in front of him and Lachey knocked him down. Twice, Bull went for pins over Jordan, but the ref was still out. He grabbed his chain and drilled Lachey with it. He then hit The Bullseye as the ref was coming to and got the victory. Dave Michaels reminded the crowd that the DWA would be returning to the Parkland on Saturday June 27th as well as making their Price Hill debut the week before on the 20th at the Price Hill Community Center.

Results – HWA: May Day ’09 – 5/23/09

The Heartland Wrestling Association returned to the Norwood Recreation Center last night with a red hot wrestling show, both literally and figuratively.

The action kicked off with a high octane Triple Threat Tag Team match pitting Utterly Fabulous, The Entourage (V-Rad & The Madness) and Dave Crist & Aaron Williams against one another.

At the start of the match V-Rad extended his hand in a show of respect for Aaron Williams after their fight for the vacant HWA Cruiserweight Championship last Wednesday. This did not sit well with “The Madness” or manager Brock Guffman, but The Entourage managed to get past that and they came out victorious after “The Madness” delivered a vicious powerbomb to Kid Fabulous to pick up the victory.

JT Stahr made his return to the HWA with a less than warm reception. JT took several weeks off after his loss at HWA CyberClash 4.0 and he was looking to come back on the winning side of things. However that was going to be no easy task with Jesse Emerson staring across the ring at him.

The highly competitive match ended on a sour note as an undetected mule kick to the groin put Jesse down for the 1-2-3. Brock Guffman was now 2 for 2 for the night.

“Lightning” Tim Lutz ended his string of bad luck when he took down HWA newcomer Dameon Daniels in a special bonus match.

Chris The Brain acknowledged one of Norwood’s own, mixed martial artist Dominique Steele. Dom got a warm reception from his hometown fans, the same could not be said for CTB’s guests the HWA Tag Team Champions The Hybrids. The Hybrids demanded the time to air their opinions on what went down last Wednesday… Tim Donst being stripped of the HWA Cruiserweight Championship and the suspension of referee Danny O’Brien, but before they got around to that they insulted Dominique Steele in another class move by two of the three members of The Crusade.

The Hybrids eventually brought out Danny O’Brien, who inexplicably showed up in his referee’s uniform, and O’Brien even went so far to stay in the ring when the interview was over and attempt to referee the next match and get into it once again with the official assigned to the contest Brandon Tolle. This brought out HWA President Tim Tatum who told Danny if he did not leave the ring he’d make his suspension a permanent one.

“Deja Vu” Richard Phillips represented the U.S.A. against Iraqi native, Kaden Assad in a special match that had the crowd in Norwood visibly and vocally showing their patriotism.

In the closing moments of the match, Assad looked like he was going to earn his first victory in the HWA in a big way. Referee Brandon Tolle was knocked out momentarily after being caught in the cross fire, Assad went outside grabbed his Iraqi flag and struck Deja Vu with the flag pole, then he draped the Iraqi flag over Vu and went to cover him for the 3 count as Brandon Tolle was coming to but Vu kicked out at 2 and three quarters and from that point “The Double Dutch Bus” was seemingly impervious to pain.

Vu put Assad away with a thunderous leg drop and proudly waved the stars and stripes much to the delight of the Norwood crowd.

Next up, Ryan Campbell made his professional wrestling debut against the “Gangsta of Love” Andre Heart. While Ryan was most impressive in his first outing, the experience of Heart was too much for Ryan and the egotistical “Gangsta of Love” would come out victorious.

The HWA Tag Team Titles were on the line and Norwood nearly witnessed a changing of the guard for the second straight month.

Hardcore Religion was well on their way to becoming the champions and The Hybrids knew it as they appeared they were going to get themselves intentionally counted out as they made their way to the locker room, but there was a roadblock in their way… Dominique Steele stood in their way. More trash talking was exchanged and officials swarmed the ringside area to keep things under control, meanwhile Brian Beech launched Ron Mathis with a Rocket Launcher from inside the ring to outside the ring on to The Hybrids.

Donovan Cain of The Hybrids was now back in the ring where he tasted a Brian Beech superkick, knocking out Cain right in the center of the ring, Beech made the cover but all the referees were still on the outside. This was a window of opportunity for “The Madness” Chris Hall to show up and attack Beech, then pulling Cain on top of a prone Beech in time for the referee to make the count of three and The Hybrids retained the HWA Tag Team titles.

Then in the main event of the evening HWA Heavyweight Champion Jake Crist was set to meet Brock Guffman’s Mystery Man his title was not on the line, but his health and well being certainly were especially considering Guffman’s Mystery Man turned out to be the massive Osyris.

Despite the serious size disadvantage, Jake went head on with Osyris, but after several failed attempts to weaken the legs and take the big man down, Jake found himself at the mercy of Osyris, who at times seemed more hell bent on injuring the HWA Heavyweight Champion then he was actually pinning him.

As he has done time and time again, Jake Crist with his amazing conditioning and will to win managed to defeat Osyris through. But while he may have won the battle, Guffman was out to win the war as Osyris attacked after the bell. With a prone Crist in the middle of the ring, Osyris scaled the ropes and nailed Jake with a splash from the top rope.

Things could have gotten worse, but Jake’s brother Dave and Deja Vu showed up to prevent any more damage being done. As Dave tended to his brother, Deja Vu got up in the grill of Osyris and it appeared the two monsters were going to collide, until Brock Guffman pleaded with Osyris to leave the ring and fight another day as HWA officials held back Vu.

Results – HWA at The Sorg Opera House – 5/21/09

Just three days before HWA May Day, the HWA made their weekly stop at The Sorg Opera House for HWA May Day!

HWA President Tim Tatum kicked things off with two major announcements. The first after reviewing the tape from last week’s Tim Donst vs. Deja Vu match Tim Tatum suspended referee Danny O’Brien until he and the board of directors decided Danny’s future with the company.

Tim Tatum also announced that HWA Cruiserweight Champion Tim Donst decided to protest Danny’s suspension by not appearing at the show and fulfilling his contractually obligated title defense and by doing so, Donst had effectively broke the 30 day rule that states a champion must defend his title at least once a month. Tatum then stated due to that violation he was stripping Donst of the championship and the 4 Way Elimination Match that was originally set up to crown a #1 contender for the Cruiserweight Title would now fill the vacancy.

The 4 Way Elimination Match was set to be the opening contest but as Lightning Tim Lutz made his way to the ring “The Most Dangerous Man in the HWA” Jon Moxley appeared from out of nowhere attacking Lutz and demanding a match between the two be made. Officials tried to stop the carnage but Moxley continued his attack, eventually leaving Lutz unable to compete in the match he was actually scheduled to compete in.

The HWA Tag Team Champions The Hybrids bounced back from a disappointing week last week by defeating Kid and Sid Fabulous, better known as Utterly Fabulous in a non-title match.

Chris The Brain announced they were frantically trying to find a replacement for Tim Lutz for the Four Way Elimination Match.

Jesse Emerson tangled with Ala Hussein in the third match of the evening, with Jesse picking up the win as he heads into Norwood on Saturday night to meet the returning JT Stahr.

It was then time for the Four Way Elimination Match to crown a new HWA Cruiserweight Champion. The match would pit Neverland Ranch native Mr. Jacko against “The Gangsta of Love” Andre Heart (with Nevaeh in his corner) against V-Rad and… against doctor’s orders “Astonishing” Aaron Williams, whose right elbow was still heavily taped after Tim Donst and Jon Moxley nearly broke his arm in the All-Star Tag Team Match earlier this month.

The first elimination was Mr. Jacko who was taken out by Andre Heart.

Andre Heart and V-Rad then joined forces to double team Aaron Williams, making this elimination match a glorified handicap match. However Andre made a cardinal mistake when his opposition this Saturday in Norwood, HWA rookie Ryan Campbell showed up at ringside, distracting Andre and allowing Andre’s “buddy” V-Rad to sneak in, roll up Heart and eliminate him.

Aaron Williams and V-Rad would both impress the fans in attendance as the last two men in the match, Williams for competing at less than 100% and V-Rad for holding his own against one of the HWA’s top stars.

After several close calls, Williams would come out victorious making V-Rad tap out to the cross face, winning the HWA Cruiserweight Championship for a second time. Then in a something of a surprise, V-Rad gave Aaron’s the thumbs up sign as he returned to the locker room.

Up next the red hot combination of Hardcore Religion (Brian Beech & Ron Mathis) was in action against the team of Matt Taylor and Chad Cruise.

Beech and Mathis looked sharp and ready for their title shot at HWA May Day in Norwood as they defeated Cruise and Taylor, but an interesting note… Nevaeh spent a good portion of the match outside with a pen and paper apparently scouting at least one of the participants in the match.

Suspended referee Danny O’Brien came out to the ring to confront referee Brandon Tolle. He even went so far as to shove Tolle, but quickly exited the ring when he heard the entrance music of Deja Vu.

“Deja Vu” Richard Phillips blood was still boiling after the disastrous call made by O’Brien last week and unfortunately for “The Madness” Chris Hall he was directly in Vu’s path of rage.

The two bulls locked horns and while The Madness tested “The Double Dutch Bus” it was not his night and Vu came out the victor.

Then in the main event, HWA Heavyweight Champion Jake Crist battled his older brother Dave Crist.

It was a match the fans demanded via the HWA’s You Make The Match feature and after being postponed two times, the third time proved to be the charm for The Brothers Crist .

The match was exactly what you would expect an even contest between two of the HWA’s best… the action was so intense and so hard fought one referee was not enough, part way through both the Brothers Crist demanded Brandon Tolle be removed from the match and a special referee, the newly crowned HWA Cruiserweight Champion Aaron Williams stepped in for the remainder of the match.

The end came when Jake Crist delivered his patented double stomp onto Dave… and like everyone else he’s ever hit with the move, Jake covered Dave for the 1-2-3.

Results – OCW in Newark, OH – 5/09/09

The Real Deal Bryce Bennett defeated Max Fahrenheit.

Dusty Dillinger defeated Jason Dragon.

The Clash beat the Hi-Def Supernovas to win the OCW Tag Team titles.

Joe Joe Little downed Kaden Assad in a Flag on a Pole Match to win the OCW Ohio Heritage title. This match saw Big Guns Jeff Cannon turn the tables on Jeremy Madrox & Kaden Assad by attacking both men, when Assad attempted to burn the American flag.

PWO Crowns New Champion – Josh Prohibition

A blockbuster turn of events unfolded this past Sunday night on Pro Wrestling Ohio TV on Sports Time Ohio, as a brand new heavyweight champion was crowned… just not who we thought it would be.

Prohibition stood ringside as he watched his protégé of over two years, Johnny Gargano, challenge “M-Dogg 20” Matt Cross for the PWO Championship in a contest six months in the making. However, as the match progressed, Prohibition seemed to grow more and more concerned. After Gargano had taken Cross down with “Uniquely You”, it seemed a new champion was imminent, however Prohibition lept onto the apron and ordered Gargano to continue punishing the champion. However, once Gargano had finished talking to Josh, M-Dogg had just enough left in him to roll up his foe, retaining the championship.
An irate Prohibition, knowing he would not be granted a title match by management anytime soon, immediately challenged a fatigued and injured Cross to an impromptu match. A proud and gutsy M-Dogg accepted the challenge, but fell right into the trap of the fresh Prohibition, who defeated Cross with The Drunken Driver.

Prohibition has been obsessed with the PWO Championship ever since M-Dogg defeated him to become the first ever PWO Champion last August. Were the events seen on television this past weekend a spur of the moment reaction by Josh or were they the final steps of a months-long plot? Is this what Prohibition meant when he told Johnny that “we” would become PWO Champion? And how does Johnny Gargano feel about this?

The only thing for sure now is PWO officials have stated Prohibition MUST defend his PWO Championship June 5 in Norton, Ohio at our next PWO Live Event. As for his opponent? Tune in to PWO TV this Sunday night at 10:00 on Sports Time Ohio to find out, as Jason Bane battles Mike Tolar in a #1 Contender‘s Match.

MICHAEL FACADE AND RYAN MITCHELL AIM FOR REVENGE ON PATRICK HAYES AND SCOTTIE GASH!
At “Path of Destruction II” at the beginning of the month, fans witnessed Ryan Mitchell win an 8 man gauntlet in a strong fashion. At the same event, Michael Facade did the unthinkable when he went to a time limit draw with Petey Williams. This has been the story for Facade this year; a constant upswing since winning the 2009 Battle Lines Battle Royal. At the same time, the same thing can be said about Hayes. Ater losing his undefeated streak to Shiima Xion at “Two Years Later”, Hayes went on a tear that eventually saw him defeat Xion and become the CWE Undisputed Champion. Hayes has always been notorious for having someone watch his back. First it was “The Deviant” Michael Hutter. Then it was Ashton Amherst. Now, it seems as if Hayes has against reached out, and this time, he pulled what surprisingly might have been his strongest asset to this date. Gash is a young veteran who has been through it all, and has stepped into the ring with many of the sports greats. Through his wily ways and his cheating abilities, Gash makes the perfect compliment to Hayes. Gash debuted last month, helping Hayes retain his title and taking out his rival Mitchell. Facade made the save for Mitchell, who he has had some problems with in earlier parts of this year. In a match with one another, Amherst helped Mitchell defeat Facade. This didn’t sit well with either one, specifically Facade, who did not believe that Mitchell didn’t know Ashton helped him. Will the at-odds team of Mitchell and Facade be able to stay united against the on-the-same-page duo of Hayes and Gash? We will find out May 29th!

COLIN DELANEY RETURNS TO CWE AGAINST RYAN BURKE!
For those of who remember those early days of the CWE, the name Colin Olsen should ring a bell. At “One Step Closer”, Colin and his brother Jimmy, collectively known as The Olsen Twins, made their presence known in the CWE. Just months later, Olsen had his childhood dream come true in a whirlwind kind of way, and became a WWE superstar! This caused the impressionable youngster who already had the beginning of a ego problem, to develop into a complete and total egotistical, self absorbed professional wrestler. CWE officials saw the opportunity to bring Olsen, who over the course of his tenure in the WWE changed his name to Colin Delaney to shed any possible comparisons to his humble beginnings. After a thorough decision process, officials then decided that someone who achieved a huge and recent accomplishment should deserve the match with Delaney. After May 1st, only one name came to mind : Ryan Burke. At “Path of Destruction II”, Burke defeated Raymond Rowe, albeit with the unwanted help from Kevin Bradway. At any rate, a win over Raymond Rowe was cause for celebration by the young superstar who had been awaiting his first big break in the CWE. In rapid fire motion, Burke was not only victorious over Rowe, but was also immediately notified he would be wrestling Delany on May 29th. Ryan Burke is definitely a superstar on the rise in the CWE, but we have it on good accord that Delaney wants to make an impact and is looking to stop Burkes momentum dead in it’s tracks.

SHIIMA XION AND JOHNNY GARGANO ASK FOR TITLE SHOTS! THE RESPONSE IS NO… AND YES!
Shiima Xion, who lost the CWE Undisputed Title to Patrick Hayes on March 27th, went to Nick from CWE and asked for his rematch. Shortly there after, Johnny Gargano, who lost the title to Xion last summer, entered into the conversation and asked for the title shot he never received. With all the controversy surrounding Hayes right now, and having more pertinent issues to handle, Nick told them individually that he would not be able to give them a title shot against Hayes. This did not sit well with either man, who have worked long and hard for opportunities. After giving it a second to think in, Nick responded to them that they could have a title shot – but they have to team together. Gargano and Shiima, who have for the time being put their issues with one another aside, looked at each other in confusion. Seeing that clarification needed to be made, Nick informed them that they could indeed have a title shot, but they would have to team together against the brand new CWE Tag Team Champions, The Franchise Players. Bobby Beverly and Jon Kronica, who make up The Franchise Players, have had a long road to those belt. After forming the team only six months ago, the team had to overcome a huge obstacle in the Straight Jacket Mafia and their menacing manager, Bejamin C Steele. After numerous attempts, the Players were finally able to achieve their goal of becoming champions in the CWE. However, I’m sure they would have never dreamed they would have to defend their titles against the last two CWE Undisputed Champions as a team. The Franchise Players are known to overcome obstacles like Steele and the Irish Airborne, but will that be enough to carry them past two of the CWE’s Undisputed Champions in Gargano and Xion?

RAYMOND ROWE IS OUT FOR REVENGE AGAINST KEVIN BRADWAY!
If Kevin Bradways plan for 2009 was to anger a sleeping giant, I think he can consider his resolution completed. Kevin Bradway came onto the scene in 2009 claiming to be the toughest man in CWE, and further more, Youngstown. This did not sit well with Raymond Rowe, who has had a long history as being the litmus test for toughness. So, at “Battle Lines”, Rowe made a challenge to Bradway to back up his claim as being “the toughest man in Youngstown.” Unfortunately for Bradway, he was destroyed, and thus the story was over and Rowe was still the resident tough guy. Not in Bradways mind. During the Battle Royal at that show, Bradway took advantage of Rowe who had his back turned, and threw him over the top rope, costing him a future title shot. As Bradway celebrated, he was grabbed and tossed out, and immediately ran away from Rowe. Again, in Bradways mind, he was victorious over Rowe! The following month at “March Madness”, Bradway came out before his match and let everyone in the arena know that he ran Raymond Rowe out of the CWE. Then again, at “Path of Destruction II”, he got on the microphone and told the crowd that Rowe is still running from him, and he has truly proven he is the toughest guy in the CWE. He was warned before; don’t tug on Superman’s cape. As Bradway made it to be the final participant in the gauntlet match, the lights went out. When they returned, Raymond Rowe was standing in the ring behind Bradway, and scared him into Ryan Mitchell, who took advantage of the situation to win the match. Rowe had strong words for Bradway, and assured him that though he may not always win the match, he always wins the fight. Bradway again claimed a measure of revenge by inserting himself into Rowes match later in the night with Ryan Burke. As the referee had his back turned, and Ray grabbed him, Bradway went into his tights and pulled out powder that he then threw in Rowe’s face. This took Rowe out of his momentum enough to cost him the match with Burke. But more importantly, this made Rowe angry. You don’t want to see what happens when he’s angry. Kevin Bradway will find out on May 29th exactly what happens when Raymond Rowe is angry.

NICKIE VALENTINO, SHAWN BLAZE AND MARION FONTAINE EXPLAIN THEIR ALLEGIANCE!
At “Path of Destruction II”, Nickie Valentino and Shawn Blaze proclaimed that they were coming together to do something truly special with long time CWE superstar Marion Fontaine. This announcement was made to a loud chorus of boos, but Valentino continued through to announce his allegiance to his mentor, “Megastar” Marion Fontaine. This situation is one of the weirdest yet in the CWE, but the talent involved has promised to make a splash on May 29th. Their first challenge has gone out to none other than the LA Gunz, who were victorious over Blaze and his then partner, Marcus Knight, on the previously mentioned show. The Gunz have been one of the top teams in the CWE for well over a year now, and are finally getting in their groove. Once they have gotten into their groove, it will be difficult to find anyone who can best them. Will the newly formed tandem make it a successful debut against the Gunz, or will the Gunz continue on with their momentum, and move one step closer to establishing themselves as the top title contenders?

HOBO JOE TRIES HIS HAND AT MARION FONTAINE!
Hobo Joe has managed to become one of the most beloved characters in CWE history. As of late though, Hobo has grown increasingly frustrated due to his inability to win matches. There has been a shift in attitude with Hobo. His focus is there like never before. After losing his match to Moondog Scrap on May 1st, Hobo immediately found CWE officials and asked them to give him a shot at any other CWE superstar. Officials decided that they would give Hobo a shot, but let Hobo know that he will need to post a victory to remain on the active roster. Hobo has made a boisterous cl.. he will defeat Marion Fontaine on May 29th! The entire situation is just humorous to Fontaine, who just claims he has bigger fish to fry. Will this finally be Hobo’s time, or will Fontaine continue on his strong momentum into the summer? We will find out May 29th!
