CONCLUSION OF THIS PAST SUNDAY’s PWO TV NOW ONLINE!
To anyone who may have been wrestling with the mania of a major wrestling PPV super card this past Sunday night, and missed the first-run showing of PWO TV, the conclusion is now available online, featuring the closing moments of the Johnny Gargano vs. Marion Fontaine PWO Championship bout, as well as the ensuing chaos resulting from it.
Over the past several weeks, the matches of PWO Champion Johnny Gargano have been noteworthy for the growing number of title contenders making their way to ringside to scout the PWO title picture. Now, well over ten men have laid claim to the #1 contendership, and many of them were on hand at the conclusion of this episode of PWO TV.
Top title contenders “Amazing” N8 Mattson, “Big Bear” Benjamin Boone, “PWO’s Most Dominant Man” Jason Bane, “M-Dogg 20″ Matt Cross, Sex Appeal’s Bobby Beverly, and “Handicapped Hero” Gregory Iron all surrounded ringside to watch Gargano defend the PWO Title against “Megastar” Marion Fontaine just two weeks before a tournament to crown the next #1 Contender for the title was set to begin.
The title match saw both athletes battle to a definitive conclusion, but afterward it was mass chaos! Watch as all of PWO’s top title contenders battle for supremacy, while champion Gargano takes a terrifying look into his future.
And remember to catch an ALL NEW episode of PWO TV this coming Sunday night! Check back for more info!
HOT NEWS STEMMING FROM THIS PAST SUNDAY’s PWO TV
This past week’s edition of PWO TV gave us numerous questions, discussion points, and news stories. Here are the top headlines coming out of the weekend -
Who Attacked Bobby Beverly?
Two weeks ago, Bobby Beverly was found unconscious in the back of the building, the victim of apparently some sort of assault. This week, Beverly spoke out on the issue, stating he was hit from behind and didn’t see a thing… however was quick to point the finger at arch-rival Gregory Iron as the perpetrator! PWO’s “Handicapped Hero” responded quickly, stating if he were to attack Bobby he would do it face-to-face, as evidenced by their altercation in the middle of the ring three weeks ago. This fact seemingly eliminates Greg as a suspect, but if this is the case, who attacked Bobby and why?
Main Event Ends In Mass Chaos
Our main event of PWO Champion Johnny Gargano vs. Marion Fontaine turned ugly when a slew of would-be title contenders crept to ringside to scout the championship match, just two weeks away from the start of a PWO Title #1 Contender‘s Tournament to determine the next challenger. After the bout, all control was lost, and Gargano was left looking into a very frightening future.
Krimson Claims His Latest Victim
Krimson disposed of newcomer Chest Flexor in quick and violent fashion, adding to his list of victims. Krimson has tortured and tormented many of PWO’s young athletes as revenge for what Krimson feels is unfair treatment to him from the professional wrestling business. Who is Krimson’s next victim and who can stop an entity filled with such hatred?
Sex Appeal Face A New Threat
Matthew Justice defeated Sex Appeal’s Nicki Valentino via disqualification, however when the superficial supergroup attempted to gang up on Justice afterward, Michael “The Bomber” Façade came to Justice’s aid. Façade & Justice have a pact to watch one another’s backs, but after Façade’s recent pinfall win over Sex Appeal’s Bobby Shields, could Façade & Justice be in line for a shot at Sex Appeal’s PWO Tag Team Titles?
Omega Wants Orange To Be Gold Again
Aaron Draven made it clear that just because he’s lost two straight matches to PWO TV Champion “Amazing” N8 Mattson, he isn’t going away. Omega is PWO’s first ever TV Champion, and its clear despite the numerous bumps on the head, and very puzzling way of thought, the TV Title is Aaron’s everything. Will Omega have another shot at wearing the gold around his orange waist?
PWO WEB EXLUSIVE MATCH! PUERTO RICAN LUIS DIAMANTE VS. CHEST FLEXOR
Now added to PWO’s YouTube account, an exclusive match just for YOU fans of PWO Online, as we present to you a contest NEVER aired on PWO TV.
Luis Diamante has made an impact as one-half of the Puerto Rican Wrecking Crew as a top contender to the PWO Tag Team Titles along with partner Isaac Montana, but how will Diamante fair in his PWO singles debut against Chest Flexor?

Is Johnny Gargano becoming overwhelmed? Or can he balance his priorities and continue writing the wrongs and being a champion to be proud of?

Three Shocking New YouTube Videos From PWO
Posted on January 18, 2010 by Joe Dombrowski
Pro Wrestling Ohio is hitting the road! PWO debuts in suburban Youngstown with a special Sunday, January 24 live event at the Eastwood Expo Center in Niles, 5555 Youngstown Warren Rd Niles, OH 44446. This event will have a very special and noteworthy 5:00 pm belltime. This WILL be a TV taping for PWO TV on Sports Time Ohio, so bring your signs and be ready to be seen nationwide!
So many issues and altercations will come to a head this weekend, and we at PWO have added three new videos online, via our account at YouTube, to help set the stage for another monumental live event.
Bobby Beverly Confronts Johnny Gargano
On the January 3, 2010 episode of PWO TV, Johnny Gargano was set to discuss an upcoming title match against Mike Tolar, when he was interrupted unexpectedly by the self-proclaimed sexiest man in PWO, Bobby Beverly. Along with fellow Sex Appeal members Dawn Decadence & Nicki Valentino, Beverly made his intentions clear to add his name to an ever-growing list of hungry and worthy contenders for Gargano’s PWO Championship. However, Pro Wrestling Ohio’s “Whole Shebang” had a unique response of his own, and sent Sex Appeal’s superficial insecurities into overdrive.
Beverly competes in the biggest match of his career THIS Sunday afternoon in Niles when he challenges Johnny Gargano for the PWO Championship. Can the newly-crowned tag champion Beverly become Pro Wrestling Ohio’s first dual champion and also prove himself as the next rising young star and successor to Gargano’s throne? Or can “The Whole Shebang” turn away another worthy challenge from a rapidly growing list of contenders?
Jimmy DeMarco – No Dreams, Only Motives
Jimmy DeMarco made his return to Pro Wrestling Ohio after a six month absence, sneaking into the building disguised under a mask, and attacking two of PWO’s elite stars – “M-Dogg 20″ Matt Cross and PWO Heavyweight Champion Johnny Gargano. This random act of violence only served to raise questions – Why M-Dogg? Why Gargano? And why now? On the January 17, 2010 episode of PWO TV, we got a sneak peak into the psyche and thought process of Jimmy DeMarco.
DeMarco’s treacherous path to the PWO Championship could begin this Sunday, as he battles “M-Dogg 20” Matt Cross in a #1 Contender’s Match. Will Cross officially become next in line to the title he was screwed out of nine months ago or will Jimmy DeMarco get his opportunity to make PWO’s biggest stars, and all of their fans, suffer?
Krimson’s Second Chilling Message
Two weeks after first interrupting Pro Wrestling Ohio programming, the man now known only as Krimson made his presence known once more on the January 17, 2010 episode of PWO TV, and once again issued an ominous and dark warning of the misery and inner turmoil that he appears ready to unleash onto everyone in Pro Wrestling Ohio. After ten years of tireless work and sacrifice, it seems something inside this once-outgoing and successful man has snapped. What does the future hold for Krimson in PWO?
Krimson’s first opportunity to unleash his menacing mind games is this Sunday, as Krimson makes his PWO in-ring debut. What can we expect from someone clearly so vengeful and sinister? Krimson feels the wrestling business has done nothing but tease him, torment him, and alter his mind. Is this Sunday in Youngstown the day that Krimson turns the tables?
It’s the best of PWO, CWE, and CHIKARA, all packed into one live event for one low ticket price! Tickets are only $15 front row $10 General Admission and are available locally at Havana House, located at 5801 Youngstown Warren Rd, Niles, OH 44446, and also available online at this direct link – http://www.pwowrestling.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=22&osCsid=5le95bu2lgv61ttm7n6p8is167
Don’t miss the first PWO live event of 2010, and first PWO live event in the Youngstown area! With your support, PWO can make Youngstown a regular stop on its ever-growing travel schedule!
PWO Breaking News: Jimmy DeMarco Returns
Posted on January 12, 2010 by Joe Dombrowski
This past Sunday night on Pro Wrestling Ohio TV, a mysterious masked man made his presence known in the PWO Television Title match between champion Omega Aaron Draven and challenger “M-Dogg 20” Matt Cross, not only disrupting our television program, but interfering in the proceedings as well, costing Matt Cross a potential victory and the Television Title, the springboard Cross desperately needed to gain an opportunity at the PWO Heavyweight Title he once wore so proudly.
Later in the night, during the PWO Championship match between PWO Champion “The Whole Shebang” Johnny Gargano and #1 challenger “The Greatest Thing Going Today” Mike Tolar, the ominous masked man appeared again. Apparently targeting Gargano, the champion was able to move in the nick of time, allowing the man of mystery’s interference to backfire and lead to a successful title defense for Gargano. Following the bout however, Gargano would be the recipient of the attack intended for him, as the unknown intruder blasted Gargano in the face with a steel chair and unmasked himself to reveal “DeeeLicious” Jimmy DeMarco.
Footage of this shocking event can be seen here:
Jimmy DeMarco departed Pro Wrestling Ohio six months ago abruptly under mysterious circumstances, and no one within PWO are quite sure where he’s been since. It appears that in his absence, DeMarco has been formulating a plan for how to wreak havoc on Pro Wrestling Ohio, targeting arguably PWO’s two most popular athletes in Gargano and Cross. Why exactly has Jimmy DeMarco chosen now to return? What are his motives? His intentions? His future goals? Our cameras caught up with DeMarco moments after his shocking return, and his very raw and emotional comments will air this Sunday night at 10:00 pm on Sports Time Ohio in a brand new episode of PWO TV.
PWO Special Report: Who is Krimson?
Posted on January 6, 2010 by Joe Dombrowski
On the January 3, 2010 episode of PWO TV, viewers witnessed a very unexpected and unsettling sight. A very ominous figure, after apparently apprehending a camera, delivered a cold and dark message to everyone watching.
This ten-year veteran of the sport seems to have been sent over the edge after a decade of constant sacrifices that he feels have not led to opportunities he rightfully deserves. It seems the rigors and stresses of the professional wrestling world have driven this man to a very dangerous and unstable state, and it seems he is not content keeping it to himself any longer.
Fans and insiders alike were quick to identify this menacing individual’s prior identity as Conrad Kennedy III, who previously competed on Sports Time Ohio for another wrestling organization, but has been largely unseen in this area for a number of years. While it is unclear what exactly took place to lead to such a harsh transformation of demeanor and personality between then and now, whether it be one singular incident or years of internal mental anguish and frustration, it seems that this man is now intent on making his problems everyone else’s problems as well. PWO is currently investigating this incident and hopes to have further details in the very near future.
What chaos will this man cause in Pro Wrestling Ohio? Who, and what, exactly is Krimson?
Video: “Omega” Aaron Draven Talks “Sex Appeal”
Posted on December 31, 2009 by V.L. Stricklett
“Omega” Aaron Draven, PWO’s resident thrillseeker and risk-taker, fought through injuries to his ribs, back, and head to become PWO Television Champion this past summer at “PWO Wrestlelution 2: A Coming of Age”. However, when Omega attempted to valiantly fight on and defend his crown, PWO doctors deemed him medically unfit to compete and forced his first title match to be postponed. This upset scheduled first challenger “True Talent” Bobby “The Body” Shields of Sex Appeal, who has stayed red hot ever since. Now, Draven is medically cleared and 100% physically for the first time in months, and seems to be in a very unique frame of mind. Here, in this PWO web exclusive not seen anywhere else, Aaron Draven analyzes Bobby Shields & the entire Sex Appeal faction in very unique fashion.
“Omega” Aaron Draven defends the PWO Television Championship against “True Talent” Bobby Shields of Sex Appeal this Sunday night at 10:00 pm EST on Pro Wrestling Ohio TV only on Sports Time Ohio!
