PWO Returns to Cleveland, OH on 12/05/09
Posted on November 25, 2009 by V.L. Stricklett
PWO Live will return to the Cleveland area on December 5, 2009…however due to an unforeseen building issue, PWO regrets to inform you that it will not take place at Lincoln-West High School. However, PWO fans, and especially members of those surrounding communities, fear not, as PWO has secured a brand new venue for Saturday night, December 5 right down the street!
PWO’s final television taping of the year will now take place at the Hispanic UMADAOP Youth Center (formerly St. Michael’s Gruss Hall), located at 3115 Scranton Road, Cleveland, Ohio, 44109. This venue is only four blocks away from our original home, on the southeast corner of Clark Ave and Scranton Rd, right next to GAS USA, so anyone already planning on attending our great card will still have a convenient and accessible locale.
Belltime is still scheduled at 7:30, and this card will still feature a loaded line-up, including the three championship matches we broke the news on earlier this week, and much more! Tickets for this event can still be purchased on www.PWOwrestling.com for only $10.00, and tickets will also be available the day of the event at the door. This is just a reminder of a small sample of what you will see live December 5, with more to be announced at the end of this week -
MIKE TOLAR RECEIVES REMATCH AGAINST PWO CHAMPION JOHNNY GARGANO!
Collegiate All-American and self-proclaimed “Greatest Thing Going Today” Mike Tolar narrowly came up short in his first attempt at the PWO Championship, however Tolar has done anything but accept the loss in stride. Tolar has spent a number of days petitioning PWO management for an immediate rematch, claiming that he was unfairly victimized by the outside interference of Ben Fruith of all people. Fruith has spent much of the past year as Tolar’s gullible lackey, not realizing he is being used, and it seems Tolar has used this convenient relationship to his benefit again, claiming Fruith jumped into the ring WITHOUT Tolar’s permission with the intent of assaulting Gargano. Tolar also claimed that he himself, ever the gentleman, attempted to calmly ask Fruith to please leave the ring, and in the ensuing confusion Gargano suckered Tolar from behind to cheaply retain his championship.
Anyone watching that match knows that story is far from true, and Tolar has only himself to blame for both Fruith’s involvement and the eventual loss, but after a lengthy meeting PWO officials conceded and granted Tolar his rematch. Gargano, who has vowed to be a fighting champion, shown by already granting an eventual title match to M-Dogg 20 Matt Cross in the future, was quick to accept this challenge as well. Will Gargano be successful for a second time against arguably the best pure athlete in PWO today? Or can Mike Tolar achieve what he believes to be his destiny and truly prove his status as “The Greatest Thing Going Today”?
CLASH DEFEND TAG TITLES AGAINST DEBUTING PUERTO RICAN WRECKING CREW
Ernie Ballz & Brian Bender, The Clash, have been the team to beat in PWO in 2009, and as we head toward the end of the calendar year, new challengers are emerging for the Clash’s crown. The Puerto Rican Wrecking Crew, Luis Diamante & Isaac Montana, have amassed a dangerous and formidable reputation for themselves in a variety of smaller regional promotions over the past several years, to the point where PWO officials feel they will be worthy challengers to the brazen and boisterous Clash. The Clash have been on a roll, not only dividing & conquering the legendary duo of Greg “The Hammer” Valentine & Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, but narrowly squeaking out another victory when Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake attempted to use their own dirty tricks against them. The Clash have not only been good, they’ve been lucky, a dangerous combination. Will The Clash get their comeuppance against the Puerto Rican Wrecking Crew? Can Diamante & Montana score a big win as proud representatives of the entire Latin American community? Or can The Clash find a way to survive still PWO Tag Team Champions?
PWO TV CHAMPION OMEGA AARON DRAVEN vs. BOBBY “THE BODY” SHIELDS
The gutsy and tenacious thrill-seeker of PWO, Omega Aaron Draven, has been fighting badly injured ribs since the summer, and though he overcame the injury to miraculously become PWO’s first TV champion, Draven’s luck soon ran out. Omega refused to rest his injuries, continuing to work through them at a feverish pace, until they became too severe to tolerate, and doctors forced Draven to stay out of action for several weeks until he was 100%. As a result, PWO granted Draven a slight extension in his mandatory title defense window, which upset his top challenger, Bobby Shields of the superficial super-group Sex Appeal. The Body has been looking for a conspiracy as to why his title match was pushed back. Shields claims he was 100% ready, focused, and more beautiful than ever, as it isn’t fair that the match be rescheduled to a later date. After scoring the winning pinfall for his team at Wrestlelution 2, and emphatically winning his match with Ben Fruith, few can argue Shields’ preparation. Will Shields make Sex Appeal just a little bit better looking by adding gold or can Omega Aaron Draven, finally 100%, harness the same energy and guts and courage that led him to the television title in the first place?
Plus:
- “PWO’s Most Dominant Man” Jason Bane has a $10,000 bounty placed on his head to go to anyone who can eliminate him from PWO. How will Bane respond and who will attempt to collect the bounty?
- M-Dogg 20 Matt Cross will be in action just days after returning to the U.S. after his tour of Australia where he competed on live events headlined by iconic figures such as Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan. What impact will M-Dogg make?
- Gregory Iron is scheduled to appear, but what condition will he be in after the 3-on-1 assault from Sex Appeal recently on PWO TV?
- Plus: Bobby Beverly, Nicki Valentino & Dawn Decadence of Sex Appeal, “Big Bear” Benjamin Boone, Hobo Joe, Matthew Justice, and many more!
