Leo Garibaldi lasted the required time limit he had to meet in his match with El Mongol in order to face Jack Crawford. There were two referees for the match between Enrique & Ramon Torres and Lars & Gene Anderson. The Andersons had been the reigning Southern Tag Team Champions since they defeated the Torres’ on April 28, 1967, in Atlanta, and had been billed as World Tag Team Champions since April 28, 1967. In the program for this card, Paul Jones reported that he was attempting to sign a rematch between Lou Thesz and Gene Kiniski for the latter’s NWA World Heavyweight Title based on the match held in Atlanta on April 14, 1967, stating that Thesz had agreed to waive his purse if the match took place.

NWA Upstate Update
NWA Upstate Owner Attacked!
Late last Friday night, NWA Upstate and Empire owner Hellcat was randomly attacked and suffered a serious leg injury. Although it hasn't been confirmed, it is rumored that 2CW wrestlers orchestrated the attack. Despite the attack, it hasn't taken "The Boss" long to respond as he has challenged 2CW to face Upstate on his turf AND on his terms and 2CW has accepted. So...

If you think what I did to John McChesney was bad you wait and see what I'm going to do to AJ!!"
With those STRONG words from the red hot Havana Pitbull, we can only assume that this match on Saturday May 17th, just may be THE MOST PHENOMENAL MATCH IN NWA UPSTATE HISTORY!!

SANDMAN TELLS TALES OUT OF SCHOOL
The dvd series YouShoot has become a place for the more provocative figures in pro wrestling to spout off freely, in response to questions from the public via webcam and email. And though maybe none of the two prior guests have gone too far...maybe the third guest has. Today marks the release of YouShoot: Sandman from KayfabeCommentaries, and maybe also marks the end of a few of Hak's friendships.
The series is designed to allow the wrestling public to have their way with an outspoken wrestling star. The agreement between talent and producers is that the star agree to answer ANYTHING. Sandman upholds the deal. And in the process reveals secrets and, in some cases, potentially hurtful revelations. There are a few moments when Sandman cringes and curses as a sensitive question about a co-worker is read--the implication being he will now have to confirm the story, in detail.
KayfabeCommentaries co-owner Sean Oliver says that he wrestled with editorial responsibility with this release. "The run-time on the raw footage was far too long, so we knew there would be some editing. The question became, 'do we cut for content, or do we cut questionable, offensive material?' And ultimately, we cut for content and did not steer away from anything that might be too harsh."
Oliver says the guests agree to answer anything, and every answer is only as valid as the guest's recollection. "The reality of the series and any interview really, whether it's on a KayfabeCommentaries release or on CNBC, is that it is impossible to confirm or verify the recall of another individual's experience."
Hak addresses the old ECW roster with very poignant stories that relate to originality of that product, but also airs a fair share of their dirty laundry. Some of the content is quite intense and, at times, degrading. Hak moves on to play a couple of the 'games' that YouShoot has become known for. The disc runs 140 minutes, complete with a gradual progression of intoxication as Sandman drinks throughout the disc.
"Half of what went into his mouth that night wasn't even shot on tape," Oliver remarks. "Which may have greatly contributed to what came OUT of his mouth that night." The disc is available today at http://www.kayfabecommentaries.com.

NEW EPISODE OF PWO TV 5/18: PROHIBITION & GARGANO vs. BANE & HUTTER
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 18: 11:00 PM
Friday night, May 23: 3:30 AM
Sunday night, May 25: 11:00 PM
Currently scheduled for this premiere broadcast:
Josh Prohibition & Johnny Gargano vs. Jason Bane & Michael Hutter
Recently, PWO fans were horrified as they witnessed Johnny Gargano commit the most heinous and vicious assault in recent memory, when he violently attempted to end the career of Gregory Iron, an incident Gargano’s running buddy Josh Prohibition was quick to gloat about and upload onto the internet (a link to the footage is here but viewer discretion is advised: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOVcxlIbPuk). Perhaps no one outside of Greg’s immediate family were more offended by this assault than “Deviant” Michael Hutter, who along with M-Dogg 20, befriended Iron in recent times. Hutter let his temper get the better of him at the time, but now he’s finally officially signed his PWO contract and is prepared to make his in-ring debut - at the expense of Gargano and Prohibition - and he’s not coming alone. Will Hutter and locker room enforcer Jason Bane beat some respect and sympathy into Gargano and Prohibition or will this duo’s heinous crimes go unpunished?
Rematch: Vincent Nothing vs. “Megastar” Marion Fontaine
A few weeks ago, Vincent Nothing scored a decisive submission victory over Fontaine, thanks in large part to outside interference from the perverted and downright creepy “DeeeLicious” Jimmy DeMarco, who has had issues with Fontaine since he first stepped foot in PWO. However, this week, Jimmy DeMarco has been BANNED from the building, and security will be circling the building to make sure he does not try to enter. Can Marion Fontaine finally focus on the task at hand without having to worry about being the target of Jimmy DeMarco? Can Vincent Nothing continue his winning ways? And what about the rumors that Vincent Nothing has been outspoken regarding the ladder match that will air on the next episode of PWO TV?
Cronus’ Path of Destruction Continues
Since day one in PWO, the indestructible Cronus, along with agent Aaron Maguire have left a trail of victims week by week. Cronus is scheduled for action this week, will anyone be able to pose a threat? And will we learn any new information on the pending confrontation between Cronus and Jason Bane. Bane has lobbied for the match ever since Maguire made the challenge on behalf of Cronus, however ever since that day Maguire has postponed the match time after time, claiming “the money isn’t right”, and even going as far as to take out a restraining order against Bane. Will we get any closer to seeing Cronus finally collide with Jason Bane.
The Clash vs. Bobby Beverly & Benjamin Boone
Ernie Ballz & Brian Bender hoped to be the stars of the PWO television broadcast when they introduced a new segment called “The Rock Show”. However, after just one week on the air, PWO management deemed it a disaster and promptly canceled the broadcast. Rather than accept the blame, Ballz & Bender have turned their anger toward the show’s rather dubious guests: the foul-smelling cult hero Hobo Joe, and the young rookie Bobby Beverly. This week, one of those men, Beverly, stands up for himself and takes the fight to The Clash with the help of his training partner Benjamin Boone. Will The Clash succeed in humiliating Beverly again or will PWO’s young lions succeed in cancelling The Clash permanently?
All this plus much more!
Remember, Pro Wrestling Ohio is only available on Sports Time Ohio! If Sports Time Ohio is NOT part of your DirecTV or Dish Network package, no matter where in the U.S. you are, call your satellite provider today and demand STO! Check local listings or www.sportstimeohio.com for times!

It was a high-risk death-defying adrenaline-feuled war that raised the bar for ladder matches in the state of Ohio, and solidified all four athletes as major players. And the only way to see it is on PWO TV at the end of the month!
