MAY 24: CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDER MATCH SIGNED!
Over the past several weeks, it's been heavily rumored behind the scenes that PWO management have decided the time is right to introduce an official PWO Heavyweight Championship and crown a recognized titleholder. Upon hearing the rumors, the first man to claim himself deserving of the championship was the crafty Josh Prohibition. Although conniving and immoral, it is tough to argue Prohibition's claims, as he boasts a near flawless record in his PWO career. One man who did take exception however, was "Deviant" Michael Hutter, who handed Prohibition his very first PWO pinfall loss at our last live event. Hutter balked at Josh's claims, and a physical altercation took place behind the scenes, a fracas that will soon be broadcasted on PWO TV on Sports Time Ohio.
As a result of the incident, PWO officials have decided to sign a monumental match in the evolution of PWO. Josh Prohibition will meet the only man to have pinned him, "Deviant" Michael Hutter, live May 24 at PWO's next television taping at the Masonic Temple in Lakewood, Ohio. However, as an extra added stipulation, the winner of this match will officially qualify for the very first ever PWO Championship match to be held this August at the Plain Dealer Pavilion! Only one of these athletes can move on to the first ever PWO Title match. Who will it be? And will any news be delivered regarding the other participant to be involved in the title match this August? The only way to find out is to join us live in Lakewood on Saturday, May 24!
Doors open at 7 p.m., with a scheduled 7:30 p.m. belltime. This event emanates from the lavish Lakewood Masonic Temple, located at 15300 Detroit Ave. in Lakewood, Ohio. Tickets are only $15 front row, $10 General Admission in advance, $12 GA the day of the show. Tickets are ON SALE NOW at http://www.PWOwrestling.com. This show is proudly sponsored by Westside Metals Corp. and Eastside Metals Corp.

Upcoming airtime:
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!

THE WRESTLING COMMUNITY BRACES ITSELF AS JAMIE DUNDEE'S MOUTH PREPARES TO OPEN...AGAIN.
Though there are not many bright lights on his wrestling past, Jamie Dundee became shoot interview gold as one of the most outspoken and controversial figures. His clips have become legendary on YouTube and the wrestling community made a vocal plea to the producers at KayfabeCommentaries...get him on YouShoot. Their plea has been answered.
Today KayfabeCommentaries has opened the floodgates and invited submisisons for the next edition of the show, which they admit was chosen simply by the amount of written requests for Dundee. "It's the American way, I suppose," said Sean Oliver, KayfabeCommentaries co-owner. "We began tabulating requests for YouShoot guests since the show is truly conducted by the public. And from day one, Jamie Dundee's name has come up."
Video emails and emailed text questions are welcomed as Dundee has agreed to answer anything and everything the public wants to know. Visit http://kayfabecommentaries.com/you_shoot_info.html for more information.

Two men who have been butting heads and grinding egos - setting off sparks - will put everything up for grabs at IWS Freedom to Fight 2008: their title belts, their reputations and their self-respect will all be on the line and only one man will walk away the winner.

Freedom to Fight Detailed Preview
No one can argue with Kevin Steen’s list of achievements; the titles that he has won (IWS Title three times, EWR title twice, PWG title, PWG Tag-team title twice, CZW Ironman title); his ability to have great matches with the best opponents (Pierre Carl Ouellet, Christopher Daniels, A. J. Styles, Samoa Joe, Austin Aries, Steve Corino, Alex Shelley, Petey Williams, Super Dragon, Roderick Strong, Chris Hero, Mike Quackenbush, Necro Butcher, Davey Richards, Chris Sabin, Matt Sydal, Ian Rotten, Jerry Lynn, Morishima and others.); or his status in Quebec (named Quebec’s best wrestler three years in a row).
The only thing is…
And I preface this by saying that this is going to read like sour grapes, the whiny ranting of a man with an axe to grind. But as Max Boyer would tell you, sometimes the grapes are SOUR.
The fly doing the back stroke in Max Boyer’s soup right now, that splinter right below the skin, is that Max has fought his whole life for a fraction of the chances that Kevin Steen was handed on a golden platter. Or as Max bitterly puts it, “Kevin was born on third base and acts like he hit a triple!”
They both started the race in the same place: students of Jacques Rougeau Jr. Max was the better student, the harder worker, the more complete athlete, but Kevin Steen was Jacques’ Golden Boy. Things didn’t change much in the IWS. Kevin’s first match in the IWS was against a man that many consider Quebec’s best pure wrestler: EXesS. Within less than a year, Kevin Steen was head-lining the IWS at the Medley (always the biggest IWS show of the year) and shortly after that, Kevin was IWS champion.
When Max came to the IWS, was he handed a match against the promotion’s best wrestler? No, he was shoe-horned into a try-out match with five rookies. Was he promoted to the main event once he showed how good he was? No, he was saddled with being one of Fred la Merveille’s goons. When Max killed himself in a 2005 Season’s Beatings Christmas match against Viking, he made Viking a star, but while Viking soared into the IWS main event and the IWS title, Max was left behind - mired in the IWS mid-card.
Hell, six days after delivering that painful star turn, Max proved that he deserved to be considered amongst the province’s elite when he fought (and WON) a pitched battle against Quebec’s best wrestler… Kevin Steen.
Inter-Species Wrestling Holiday Special, Dec 9, 2005, Valleyfield Quebec, wrestling trivia fans!
The man who lost that match, Kevin Steen, toured the world; the man who beat him, Max Boyer, was left behind, again.
It has taken two and a half years of training, of toil, of victory after victory for Max Boyer to prove that he deserves another shot at a man that he beat the only time that they ever wrestled one-on-one!
So, next Saturday, Kevin Steen, the man who makes his living rising to the occasion will be given another chance to come up big in a big match against a great opponent. And for Max Boyer, there is nothing at stake - nothing except to prove once and for all, Une Fois Pour Toute!, that he is the better wrestler, the better champion and the better man.
Champion vs. Champion; Title vs. Title; Gold vs. Gold; Steen vs. Boyer and there has to be a winner.
*****
There’s not really much else going on next Saturday, except – oh yeah – the two mastodons of the IWS will clash, as your Hardcore Hero, the Green Phantom will finally get his hands on “Paranoid” Jake Matthews, the man who attacked Phantom from behind last month with a shovel and stole the Phantom’s mask. Let’s be clear: Jake is CRAZY at the best of times, and the Phantom has never been the poster boy for Anger Management. If Jake’s plan was to drive the Phantom insane, well judging from the daily – sometimes hourly – e-mails, texts and phone calls that I have been getting from the Phantom, well Jake’s plan is working. Now why you would want to piss off the Phantom this much is one of those rhetorical questions that I am going to file under: “Jake is CRAZY”
On the other side of that scarred coin, one guy who is starting to make a lot of sense – and frankly, it is pissing me off – is the IWS’ most bitter man, Beef Wellington. After Jimmy K failed to show up for his scheduled title match against Kevin Steen at Scarred For Life because of a family emergency, Beef immediately demanded a match against the goth warrior, pissed beyond belief that Jimmy K would pass up the chance to fight for a belt that Beef has never been given a real chance to win.
Actually, I am not sure that Beef has even been given a chance recently to fight in a match to even qualify him for a title shot, which would help explain his crankiness.
Also scheduled to fight will be the trio of the Rock ‘N’ Roid Express, Twiggy and Franky the Mobster joined by Santino. Despite the presence on their team of Franky, one of Quebec’s best heavyweights, Twiggy, Franky and Santino will be seriously out-gunned by their opponents: The Untouchables’ Dan Paysan and Jimmy Stone joined by the bully Samson. The Untouchables will be looking to prove that they deserve a shot at the Rock ‘N’ Roid Express’ tag team titles, while Samson will just be looking for any kind of shot at anyone smaller than he is.
There will be other matches, but perhaps more important than that, I can announce that PCP Crazy F’N Manny, will be at Freedom to Fight to make a major announcement. Manny has been completely absent from the IWS offices since Kevin Steen beat him for the title in January at Praise the Violence.
Will Uncle Manny be flanked by the Sultans of Sycophancy, 2.0? I can confirm that Jagged and Shane Matthews will be at Freedom to Fight, also that they have been frustrated in their latest attempts to get yet another shot at the IWS tag team titles, largely because Manny has been MIA and no one else in the office will give them the time of day.
I am however required to mention that while I was writing this on Friday, Shane and Jagged texted me (well Jagged texted me - Shane is a luddite with stubby fingers) “We are at this very moment flying in first class on our way to sunny California where we will compete – NO! Where we will WIN PWG’s annual tag team tournament!”
And if you are wondering, no they did not win… anything. They did however get “Please Come Back!” chants. So, California, if you want 2.0 – TAKE THEM PLEASE!
I have no idea what Manny will be announcing, but we have already announced that the IWS will be doing an outdoor show as part of the Fringe Festival on Friday, June 20th (sponsored by City Styles and Adrenaline) and that we will be concluding our annual Summer of Violence with a show at the Medley on Saturday, September 27th. Look for more details soon!
