Saturday July 12th is the day every AAW star and every AAW fan has had circled on their calendars all year. Saturday night AAW presents the 4th annual "Scars and Stripes". This is the show where issues and feuds will end and new ones will begin. This years Scars and Stripes promises to be the most emotional and riveting show in AAW history as a star says goodbye and a young man looks for redemption and his second AAW Heavyweight title. Let's take a closer look at the card that is highlighted by a double main event.
MAIN EVENT- AAW HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE
JERRY LYNN (c) w/ Jim Jesus
vs
TYLER BLACK
Throughout 2008 Tyler Black has scratched and clawed his way back to this title shot. He has put to rest the demons of his feud with Marek Brave after defeating him last month in the "Stairway to Hell" match. He has one last man in JJ Inc to defeat and that man is the AAW Heavyweight Champion Jerry Lynn. Lynn has held the title longer than any other champion and has gotten past every challenger put in front of him with the help of Jim Jesus and JJ Inc. In April JJ Inc held a beaten Tyler Black as Lynn slapped him in the face and proclaimed "You will never get this title from me because wrestling is MY life!". At the close of last months show Black called Lynn's integrity into question when he said to beat him Lynn will have to be the champion he "used" to be. For Black, he must defeat the man he looked up to for so many years and for the champion he will have to dig down deep and pull out his best effort in years to turn back the challenge of one of the fastest rising stars in the industry. The stage is set for what may be the most exciting AAW title match in history!
MAIN EVENT- FAREWELL MATCH- LAST MAN STANDING
"The Gold Standard"
ERIC PRIEST
vs
"The Miracle Man"
CHANDLER MCCLURE
Emotions will be running high as Eric Priest steps into the ring for the final time to seek revenge on the man who has cost him not only the AAW Heritage title but also his shot at the ultimate goal of the AAW Heavyweight belt. McClure has been a thorn in Priest's side ever since recovering from his various "injuries" earlier this year. His interference cost Priest his one year win streak and the Heritage title in February. Priest got a measure of revenge when he posed as the "Golden Vampire" and defeated McClure in May. The issue looked to be over as Priest focused on Jerry Lynn. "The Gold Standard" had already announced he did not have much time left in the business and needed the AAW title to complete his career. That dream was taken away from him when McClure and his new protégé Jordan McIntyre cost Priest the title which leads to this match on Saturday night. Priest demanded McClure face him one last time and McClure accepted adding the "Last Man Standing" stipulation. Look for both men to pull out all the stops in this one as the match will go on until one man cannot answer a ten count. Priest has promised that not only will his career come to an end on Saturday but McClure's will as well. Win, lose or draw Priest's legacy in wrestling has been cemented but the "Gold Standard" wants to prove to himself and everyone else that his body can make it through one more match.
AAW HERITAGE TITLE
KROTCH (c) w/ Nikki
vs
JIMMY JACOBS
Last month Krotch once again defied the odds and walked out of the Eagles Club with the Heritage title. Jimmy Jacobs started the evening by confronting the legend himself Terry Funk. After an altercation in the ring Funk returned later in the night to nail Jacobs with a DDT and allow Krotch to cover him for a three count. Krotch's night was not over as the match was a three way dance and he still had to defeat his old rival Arik Cannon. After Joey Eastman and Nikki both got involved Krotch was able to pull of the upset and pin the "Anarchist" to become the new Heritage champion. The party may be over for the youngster now as Jacobs has immediately used his return match clause and will meet the new champion at Scars and Stripes. Jacobs has promised that not only will Krotch's title reign be the shortest in AAW history but he will also be punished for humiliating him last month.
ADRENALINE OVERDOSE WILL DEFEND THE AAW TAG TEAM TITLES
Bryce Benjamin and Shane Hollister stepped up to the plate last month when Dash Phoenix was injured at the hands of the Northstar Express and Joey Eastman and defeated them to become the new AAW tag team champions. Saturday night this exciting young team will put the belts on the line for the first time and have an open contract. The tag team division is deep in AAW and whoever is awarded the title shot will be ready. Expect the kind of great tag team action AAW has become known for in this one.
GRUDGE MATCH
JOSH RAYMOND
vs
SILAS YOUNG
A highly anticipated rematch of the "Fate of Eight" finals as the man formerly known as Josh Abercrombie does battle with the highly talented Silas Young. Raymond has done a complete turn around since using a low blow to defeat Silas and earn an AAW title shot whenever he chooses. After a vicious attack on Silas the rematch has been signed. Both of these men are now in a position to cement themselves as main eventers in AAW and this match may be the show stealer. Their match at the Fate of Eight was an excellent contest and now that it has become personal this match will definitely be more intense.
LEATHER STRAP MATCH
THE PHOENIX TWINS
vs
THE NORTHSTAR EXPRESS w/ Joey Eastman
A long standing feud between two of the top teams in the country comes to a head this Saturday. After the Twins dropped Joey Eastman as their manager and humiliated him, Eastman had been plotting for retribution. Last month the Twins were ready to cash in their title shot when they were attacked by the NSE and whipped with Eastman's leather belt. Dash Phoenix was then held by Corbin and Cruz as Eastman gouged his eye with the belt buckle. Now these four men meet in a leather strap match with the Twins looking to settle the score once and for all. Both teams want to get back in title contention but you have to wonder if the injury to Dash Phoenix will give the Northstars the advantage in this one.
CHALLENGE MATCH
EGOTISTICO FANTASTICO
vs
RYAN BOZ
This match came about after a confrontation in the lockeroom a few weeks back. Boz warned Ego if he had a problem with Jimmy Jacobs we would have to go through him. Ego later cost Boz his match in the "Fate of Eight" tournament and now these two will go one on one at Scars and Stripes. Both men have looked impressive as of late and Ego will need to use his speed and agility to combat the size and strength of the monstrous Boz.

Currently scheduled for this premiere broadcast:
Johnny Gargano vs. Super Hentai
The once-disturbed Gargano was back to his cocky self in recent weeks, assuming he had permanently rid the wrestling world of his inspirational adversary and the only man to truly get the best of Gargano decisively in PWO to date, Gregory Iron. However, over the past month, Gargano’s world has come crashing down around him again. Iron made a shocking return from the crowd, swearing vengeance on the man that nearly ended his career forever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOVcxlIbPuk). After signing a waiver to be legally allowed to compete again, Gregory Iron made a most dangerous challenge for August 3rd at PWO Wrestlelution - a Last Man Standing Match. Gargano has promised to formally address the challenge this week on PWO TV, in addition to battling high-flying veteran Super Hentai, a man no stranger to STO audiences and hoping to make a big impact in his PWO debut. Will Gargano accept Iron’s challenge and attempt to finish what he started? Will Gregory Iron get the opportunity to make Gargano feel the same pain Iron himself had felt? And who, if anyone, will be the Last Man Standing?
Comments from “M-Dogg 20” Matt Cross and Josh Prohibition
PWO’s television cameras are on location as we catch up with the two men slated to compete in the first-ever PWO Heavyweight Championship Match on Sunday, August 3 at Wrestlelution. Our crew travels to the home of “M-Dogg 20” Matt Cross, intensely training for his PWO return after a lengthy hiatus and numerous international tours. Josh Prohibition will also have comments relating to his former long time friend and tag partner. This issue is deeply personal between the two, and spans nearly a full decade. Who really was the star of the team? Who carried who? What does M-Dogg have to say about Josh’s repeated assaults on him during the early weeks of PWO? And how does Josh feel about his old rival returning with both vengeance and championship gold on his mind? Both men speak out very candidly this week.
Cronus w/Aaron Maguire vs. Matthew Justice
Just days away from the official contract signing between Cronus and Jason Bane for their epic Wrestlelution showdown to determine who the most dominant man in PWO truly is, Cronus steps into battle with one of PWO’s brightest rising stars, Matthew Justice. As one-half of the newly-branded Pirate Justice along with “Bloody” Morty Rackem, Justice has found his true niche and with PWO’s King of Cleveland Ladder Match just weeks away, Justice is surely looking to test himself. And if there’s any man as threatening as falling off a 15 foot ladder… it is indeed Cronus. Will Jason Bane or any of the Ladder Match participants play a factor?
V-Squared vs. Hobo Joe & Bobby Beverly
Virus & Virus Grande return to the ring for the first time since their brutal Ladder Match with Matthew Justice & Morty Rackem. However, with the stakes raised further for a Triple Threat Ladder Match August 3 at PWO Wrestlelution featuring V-Squared, Matthew Justice & Morty Rackem, as well as Vincent Nothing & Jake Crist, the pressure is on the Viruses once again. This week, they face PWO’s resident dumpster dweller Hobo Joe and the promising rookie Bobby Beverly, who are in preparation for a wild and crazy Wrestlelution encounter of their own. Will V-Squared send a message to their Ladder Match counterparts? Will V-Squared be able to avenge their loss to Pirate Justice on August 3?
Benjamin Boone in action
Sources close to young Benjamin Boone say the PWO rookie feels misunderstood, taken for granted, and not taken seriously. After a disappointing loss to Mike Tolar last month, it seems Benjamin Boone has rededicated and re-focused himself and rumors say he will make a shocking challenge that will change the way people look at him forever. Boone will also see action as well. How will he fare and what bombshell will he drop on PWO?
The Wrestlelution Control Center
PWO’s play-by-play broadcaster Joe Dombrowski catches you up to speed on all the hot news and rumors leading into the biggest event in PWO history, Wrestlelution: Sunday, August 3 from the Plain Dealer Pavilion in Clevleand, Ohio with a 3:00 pm belltime.

PWO WRESTLELUTION IS COMING!
In October of 2007, a new age began in Ohio professional wrestling. With the platform of national television at their doorstep, a roster of young, hungry, and capable athletes set out on a course to prove themselves. A course to begin carving their legacy, forging their reputations, and solidifying their abilities.
Through the next eight months, great sacrifices were made. Blood was shed, bodies were hurt, wills were damaged but did not break. All with the goal to reach the pinnacle of their profession, the height of their careers, and inch their way closer to the next level. On August 3, they will arrive.
Sunday afternoon, August 3 at the Plain Dealer Pavilion in Cleveland, Ohio, the best athletes in the region converge for PWO’s ultimate proving ground. Nearly one year of hostility, resentment, aggression, and hatred will be unleashed. It is a night of closure. A night of finality. A night for the most vital questions to be addressed and answered. Who is the Most Dominant Man in PWO? Who are the true kings of Cleveland Ladder Matches?
Who has the drive to stand up to one of wrestling’s most heralded legends and survive? And who will achieve the ultimate prize of being called the first-ever PWO Champion?
August 3, the bad blood and ill-will reaches its culmination. The hatred and contempt can be contained no more. For these great athletes, it is time to not only rise to the next level, but surpass it. Some will stand triumphant, some will fall, some will achieve their dreams, carve their legacy, forge their reputations, and solidify their abilities for years to come, but all will meet their Wrestlelution.
