The referee stopped the match until Tillet determined he could continue. Later in the match, the roles reversed, with Fuller falling from the ring, but Tillet did not offer the same courtesy in return, instead attacking Fuller, leading to the win. J.C. Dykes managed the Infernos. When Mario Galento challenged J.C. Dykes to their match, Dykes accepted only if Galento promised to leave if Dykes won.

NEW EPISODE OF PWO TV 5/4: GARGANO SPEAKS ON IRON ATTACK
Pro Wrestling Ohio airs the most action-packed sixty minutes in wrestling on the official television home of the Cleveland Indians, Sports Time Ohio! PWO provides a steady stream of action with new episodes premiering bi-weekly, and several rebroadcasts scheduled in the interim so fans have multiple chances to catch PWO TV. Sports Time Ohio is available in over 4 million homes on cable television throughout Ohio and into parts of Western Pennsylvania. Sports Time Ohio is also available NATIONWIDE to satellite dish subscribers of both DirecTV and Dish Network. If you are a dish subscriber and do not have Sports Time Ohio on your line-up and want to be part of the PWO experience, call your satellite provider today and request Sports Time Ohio be added to your line-up, as STO may only be available on select satellite sports packages depending on your location in the United States. For more information on PWO TV's availability, visit http://www.pwowrestling.com or http://www.myspace.com/prowrestlingohio.
Upcoming airtimes:
Sunday night, May 4: 11:00 PM & 3:00 AM
Sunday night, May 11: 11:00 PM & 3:00 AM
Friday night, May 16: 3:30 AM
Currently scheduled for this premiere broadcast:
Johnny Gargano Speaks Out On Attack on Gregory Iron
On the last broadcast of PWO TV, Johnny Gargano was responsible for the most reprehensible and offensive act in PWO history, as he perpetrated a savage assault on Gregory Iron, after months of being unable to best the inspirational superstar physically or psychologically. After the attack, Iron was hospitalized for three days before being sent home where he has been quiety recovering. Greg suffered another severe concussion, and at this point his career is very much in doubt. Greg has said that through turbulent life, the one thing he’s always had to count on to escape and cope has been professional wrestling. Now, it seems that Gargano may have sadly taken away the only thing Gregory Iron has ever had to count on in his life. This weekend, Gargano speaks out on the incident for the first time ever. Will the often-obnoxious prodigy offer a humble apology and express regret? Or does Gargano still stand by his sickening actions? And what role does Josh Prohibition play in all of this?
Vincent Nothing vs. “Megastar” Marion Fontaine
Vincent Nothing has channeled his aggression and newfound mean streak into an impressive string of in-ring showings in recent weeks. Marion Fontaine has continued to climb the ranks of PWO, along with his unusual advisor known as Macho Grosh. Fontaine’s recent run-ins with “DeeeLicious” Jimmy DeMarco have produced quite a bit of uneasyness between the two, but Fontaine hopes to put that behind him and continue his ascension. Who will continue on the path to the top?
“Bloody” Morty Rackem & Matthew Justice: Cut Throat Training
On our last broadcast, Morty Rackem finally found a tag team partner worthy of accompanying him into battle, someone with the potential to be even greater than Rackem’s former partner. That man is Matthew Justice, one-half of The Socks of Justice, who seems to be fed up with the oddball antics of Chuck “White Socks” Johnson and is dead-set on being taken seriously and hitting that next level. That started when Rackem & Justice made the challenge to Virus & Virus Grande for a Ladder Match, where the winners would gain full possession of Rackem’s swords, which V-Squared stole several months ago. This week, Rackem prepared Justice for battle, and our cameras were on hand to document it. Rackem puts Matthew Justice through Cut Throat Training!
Jason Bane Comments on Temporary Order of Protection
On our last broadcast, the 6’8 300 lb. Jason Bane attempted to confront the 6’5 275 lb. Cronus and find out once and for all who is the most dominant athlete in PWO. However, Cronus’ agent dropped a bombshell: A Temporary Order of Protection! Maguire served Bane with papers that stated if Bane touches either Cronus or Maguire before an official match can be signed, he will be BANNED from wrestling in the state of Ohio for life! Bane will react and respond to this legal document this week, what will the angry giant have to say?
Mike Tolar vs. Justin Idol
Mike Tolar is a natural athlete, born and bred. A high school, collegiate, and professional athletic standout, Tolar has the credentials to go all the way in PWO. Meanwhile, Justin Idol is a young veteran with a track record a mile long, who made a huge mark in PWO with his victory over Michigan elitist N8 Mattson a few weeks ago. These two stars will collide this week, in an extremely important match for bragging rights and rankings.
Plus so much more!

Currently scheduled for this premiere broadcast:
Johnny Gargano Speaks Out On Attack on Gregory Iron
On the last broadcast of PWO TV, Johnny Gargano was responsible for the most reprehensible and offensive act in PWO history, as he perpetrated a savage assault on Gregory Iron, after months of being unable to best the inspirational superstar physically or psychologically. After the attack, Iron was hospitalized for three days before being sent home where he has been quiety recovering. Greg suffered another severe concussion, and at this point his career is very much in doubt. Greg has said that through turbulent life, the one thing he’s always had to count on to escape and cope has been professional wrestling. Now, it seems that Gargano may have sadly taken away the only thing Gregory Iron has ever had to count on in his life. This weekend, Gargano speaks out on the incident for the first time ever. Will the often-obnoxious prodigy offer a humble apology and express regret? Or does Gargano still stand by his sickening actions? And what role does Josh Prohibition play in all of this?
Vincent Nothing vs. “Megastar” Marion Fontaine
Vincent Nothing has channeled his aggression and newfound mean streak into an impressive string of in-ring showings in recent weeks. Marion Fontaine has continued to climb the ranks of PWO, along with his unusual advisor known as Macho Grosh. Fontaine’s recent run-ins with “DeeeLicious” Jimmy DeMarco have produced quite a bit of uneasyness between the two, but Fontaine hopes to put that behind him and continue his ascension. Who will continue on the path to the top?
“Bloody” Morty Rackem & Matthew Justice: Cut Throat Training
On our last broadcast, Morty Rackem finally found a tag team partner worthy of accompanying him into battle, someone with the potential to be even greater than Rackem’s former partner. That man is Matthew Justice, one-half of The Socks of Justice, who seems to be fed up with the oddball antics of Chuck “White Socks” Johnson and is dead-set on being taken seriously and hitting that next level. That started when Rackem & Justice made the challenge to Virus & Virus Grande for a Ladder Match, where the winners would gain full possession of Rackem’s swords, which V-Squared stole several months ago. This week, Rackem prepared Justice for battle, and our cameras were on hand to document it. Rackem puts Matthew Justice through Cut Throat Training!
Jason Bane Comments on Temporary Order of Protection
On our last broadcast, the 6’8 300 lb. Jason Bane attempted to confront the 6’5 275 lb. Cronus and find out once and for all who is the most dominant athlete in PWO. However, Cronus’ agent dropped a bombshell: A Temporary Order of Protection! Maguire served Bane with papers that stated if Bane touches either Cronus or Maguire before an official match can be signed, he will be BANNED from wrestling in the state of Ohio for life! Bane will react and respond to this legal document this week, what will the angry giant have to say?
Mike Tolar vs. Justin Idol
Mike Tolar is a natural athlete, born and bred. A high school, collegiate, and professional athletic standout, Tolar has the credentials to go all the way in PWO. Meanwhile, Justin Idol is a young veteran with a track record a mile long, who made a huge mark in PWO with his victory over Michigan elitist N8 Mattson a few weeks ago. These two stars will collide this week, in an extremely important match for bragging rights and rankings.
Plus so much more!
