Brown’s Bob Golic to Appear at PWO: Wrestlelution

Comments Off

Professional wrestling has always seemed to see involvement by athletes from other sports fields who are drawn to the one-of-a-kind action and entertainment that wrestling provides. Here at Pro Wrestling Ohio, it’s no different, as we are pleased to announce the involvement of legendary athlete Bob Golic at “PWO Wrestlelution 2: A Coming of Age” as a very special guest ring announcer!

Bob Golic immortalized his name in the NFL, serving as one of the most memorable defensive tackles of the 1980s. Originally drafted by the New England Patriots, Golic reached his highest degree of fame as a member of the Cleveland Browns for seven of his total 14 seasons in the NFL. As a Brown, Golic was a three-time Pro-Bowler, and a major part of the Cleveland Browns’ domination of the AFC Central and appearances in numerous AFC Championship Games.

After retiring from the NFL, Golic kept busy both in and out of the sports world. Golic became a noted reporter and radio host in Cleveland, as well as Los Angeles and Great Britain as well. He’s also currently an extremely popular radio personality based in the Akron area, and has also opened his own business, “Bob Golic’s Sports Bar & Grille”, located at 1213 West 6th Street. Beyond that, Golic has been seen in a variety of other locations including as a recurring character on the popular television series “Saved By The Bell”, a spokesman for the NutriSystem diet plan, and even appeared as a broadcaster for the ill-fated XFL.

Golic’s athletic credentials aren’t just limited to football either, as Golic was an NCAA All-American amateur wrestler in 1978.

Golic is reportedly very excited to be a part of “PWO Wrestlelution 2” and serving as a guest ring announcer. What impact will Bob Golic make in Pro Wrestling Ohio? Will anyone attempt to cross his path? We will answer these questions when the legendary Bob Golic enters a PWO ring on August 9!

In addition, PWO has learned that live music will return to Wrestlelution, as a live band will be on-hand to perform during intermission! Also, rumors state Pro Wrestling Ohio has been contacted by some unlikely parties, and there may be a few surprises on hand to witness PWO Wrestlelution 2 themselves!

Current Wrestlelution 2 card…

PWO Championship Match: Josh Prohibition vs. Johnny Gargano
Will Josh kill his creation or can Gargano prove he is as good, if not better, than his ego-maniacal teacher?

PWO Tag Team Titles: Greg “The Hammer” Valentine & Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart vs. The Clash

Maguire cost Bane the PWO Title, and Hobo his money and his friend, will Maguire succeed in his “hit list” or can Bane and Hobo survive an attempted whacking?

6:30 PMto10:30 PM

Black Diamond Wrestling returns to “The Dawg House” in Bridgeport, OH on Saturday August 8, 2009. Doors Open at 6:00 PM with the action scheduled to start at 6:30 PM. Tickets are only $8.00 (advanced) & $10.00 (at the door). Don’t miss the best wrestling the Ohio Valley has ever had to offer, and see the fallout from BDW’s recent “6th Anniversary” event!

Heavyweight Title Match: Jason Gory (c) vs. Jason Cage
BDW Heavyweight champion Jason Gory and the challenger Jason Cage are certainly no strangers in the ring together. The two have had countless battles in and out of Black Diamond Wrestling, and have even teamed together on several occasions. Now the two will collide in the ring once again, in what promises to be a great contest. Jason Cage picked up a big win at the past BDW event with Ryan Mitchell to become the new Tag Team champions, will Cage add another title to his current BDW resume, or will Gory continue to reign supreme???

10,000 Thumbtack Match: Bulldozer vs. Ric Rumskey
Bulldozer has been on a rampage as of late in BDW, from attack police officers to attacking WWE’s own former Diva Search contestant Sara Brooks. One guy who seems to have had enough of seeing this is “Ruthless” Ric Rumskey. At the past show Rumskey built up the courage to confront Dozer, and even go as far as to challenging him to a 10,000 Thumbtacks match. Bulldozer accepted and now for the first time in Black Diamond Wrestling history, a “10,000 Thumbtacks” match will take place. The rules to the match are like any other match, but the ring will be covered in 10,000 flesh piercing thumbtacks! This will be a tough challenge for Rumskey, and the fans are questioning whether or not Rumskey can put the big man Bulldozer down and into the tacks?

2nd Series “Diamond In The Rough” Battle Royal
The “Diamond In The Rough” Battle Royal series continues on, as 10 more BDW stars will compete in the 2nd Round Battle Royal. The first “Diamond In The Rough” Battle Royal that took place last month was won by Bulldozer, as he qualified into the final Battle Royal where there will be $5,000 on the line! Who will go on as the 2nd participant in the final Battle Royal?

Straight Jacket Mafia vs. Puerto Rican Wrecking Crew
At BDW’s 6th Anniversary event, the Straight Jacket Mafia (Apollyon & Sean Dahmer) squared off in the ring to defend their titles against the returning team of the Puerto Rican Wrecking Crew (Isaac Montana & Luis Diamonte). The Wrecking Crew made a strong return by dominating the SJM unlike any team in BDW before them, and going on to winning the BDW Tag Team titles from the Mafia. However, there were cheap tactics used by the Wrecking Crew in winning that match, and the SJM still hold a grudge about that loss. Now they seak revenge for the loss, and the rematch will take place August 8th!

Blue Dragon vs. Vinnie Stone
A grudge that has been going on for months now in BDW continues, as Blue Dragon takes on Vinnie Stone. Each time the two have been in the ring, the match turns into a war. At the 6th Anniversary event, Blue Dragon bloodied up Stone and the aggression has risen since. Now the challenge has been made and accepted, and the two will collide on August 8th!

8:00 PMto11:00 PM

It will be an HWA show like no other, when the Heartland Wrestling Association presents Drake Younger’s Psycho Circus, Friday Night July 31st at The Sorg Opera House (65 S. Main St – Middletown, OH)

Bell Time is 8:00 PM! All tickets are $10! All ages are welcome but there is a parental advisory in effect due to the excessive violence the night promises to bring.

Beer will be served for our fans 21 and older.

Drake Younger will be HWA President for a day as he has put together a night of hardcore action…

THE DRAKE YOUNGER INVITATIONAL
Six men will start but only one man will walk away as the winner of the first ever Drake Younger Invitational.

Three Qualifying Matches will take place with the winners of those matches advancing into a Fans Bring The Weapons Three Way Finale!

Qualifying Matches Include…

“RELENTLESS” RON MATHIS vs. THE JUGGULATOR – THUMB TACK MATCH!

DRAKE YOUNGER vs. CHRISTIAN FAITH – FOUR CORNERS OF FUN MATCH!

JON MOXLEY vs. SCOTTY VORTEKZ – DOG COLLAR MATCH!

VINCENT NOTHING vs. KING VU

With his size and strength Deja Vu has the ability to manhandle and maul just about anyone he is in the ring with, but that will not be the case at Drake Younger’s Psycho Circus when he takes on the powerhouse known as Vincent Nothing.

“BAD ATTITUDE” BRIAN BEECH vs. “THE MADNESS” CHRIS HALL – LEATHER STRAP MATCH!
The bad blood between Brian Beech and Chris Hall has been brewing all year long.

After Beech and his tag team partner Ron Mathis defeated “The Madness” and V-Rad in a Norwood Street Fight this past April it looked like the final chapter had been written in the Beech/Hall rivalry.

But “The Madness” had other ideas as he managed to stick his nose in Beech’s business time and time again only to escape before Beech could get his hands on him.

There will be no escape for Hall on Friday Night July 31st when he and Beech are bound together with a leather strap.

Plus…

HWA AMERICAN LUCHACORE CHAMPION AARON WILLIAMS vs. CHANCE PROPHET

and AN OVER THE TOP ROPE BUNKHOUSE STAMPEDE!
