From the Desk of Tod Gordon: PWU Crazy Upd8 6/16
ProWrestlingUnplugged.com
For the last two years, The Crazy 8 has been the signature event of PWU. Both times the match was fought over a title, with the winner having to retrieve the belt from the ceiling of the arena.
We at PWU have decided that tradition is one that should continue.
Therefore, rather than a tag team grudge match, this year's mega match will be for the Pro Wrestling Unplugged Heavyweight Championship. It will involve
current champion DEVON MOORE, the new fan favorite DETOX, and former PWU Heavyweight Champion, TOO COLD SCORPIO.
Watch the short video on ProWrestlingUnplugged.com showing the past two Crazy 8 matches, and let your imaginations go wild as you picture Scorpio swinging from those ropes and scaffolds as he tries to regain his title.
In addition, our other main event will be what I believe is the first ever tag team IRON MAN MATCH pitting the SAT's and AMIL as they attempt to finally end this war once and for all.
We will be releasing more information later this week regarding other matches, our first ever tailgate party, and the names of some Superstars who will be debuting June 16th.

Jimmy Olsen vs. Brodie Lee, for the last time?
Upstate officials have been looking to sign this match since what went down at the Anniversary show in the War Games cage match when Brodie Lee won the NWA Upstate World title from Jimmy Olsen in controversial fashion. Seemingly Brodie did not think Jimmy Olsen deserved another one on one rematch and it was unsure if it would happen. Then in a turn of events, Jimmy was able to get a win over Brodie less than 2 weeks ago in the form of a tag team match (Jimmy Olsen & Shark Boy defeated Brodie Lee and Sweet Lou) at the Spring Spectacular event in Watkins Glen, NY.
This gave Jimmy the leverage he needed and now the champion is furious he has another loss in the books to his former friend. Now with both men wanting revenge and to prove once and for all just who is the better man, they have agreed to face off again. So at Continuing The Tradition 07', it is now official: Brodie Lee and Jimmy Olsen will go one on one Saturday June 9th at the Dome Arena for the NWA Upstate World title! But after talking with each man about this match they have come to an agreement on a few stipulations, as if the stakes weren’t high enough. The first being that the loser cannot get another title shot as long as the other is champion. So with it being the last match between the two, Upstate wants to ensure that there is a clear winner and loser. Therefore there will be absolutely no outside interference, no countouts, no time limit, and no DQ’s – the match can only end by pinfall or submission.
Knowing the history between these two, what they’ve done to each other in past matchup’s, and just how big this match is now with the stipulations there’s no telling what lengths they will go to in order to come out the winner in the final showdown. The only way to see it is to be there live Saturday June 9th @ the Dome.We will have some comments from these 2 men about the match at www.nwaupny.com and more news on the rest of the event in the coming weeks.

Championship Wrestling Experience presents "Culmination" on July 20!
Written by CWE Staff
Ladies and Gentlemen, we now have Mothers Day Meltdown in the books, and we are ready to move on to crown the first CWE Undisputed Champion.
So that leads us to the next event. The big one. Culmination. July 20th. This will be the semi-finals and finals of the CWE Unsiputed Title Tournament. 4 men. 1 belt.
Semi-Final Matches:
Chris Hero v Claudio Castagnoli . These men have traveled the globe together, and they know each other as well as any other two wrestlers could know each other. They have won tag team gold in virtually every promotion they competed in as a team [at the same time]. Now they will go up against each other one on one. Both men are two of the most popular wrestlers in the CWE, so it will be interesting to see who's side the fans will take.
Eddie Kingston v "Sweet n Sour" Larry Sweeney. These two as well have an extensive history together. Sweeney and Kingston trained together, but Sweeney developed a better than thou ego, and alienated most of his fellow wrestlers. They have fought since in some of the most hard hitting matches on the east coast.Kingston doesn't care what anyone thinks about him, and Sweeney seems to love the fans' disdain.
The winners of those two matches will meet to determine the first ever Championship Wrestling Experience Undisputed Champion!
But that's not all. As announced at Mother's Day Meltdown we are proud to announce:
That's right! TNA X-Division Champion Chris Sabin will be making his CWE debut July 20th against "MDogg20" Matt Cross! This should be a huge match! Cross has traveled all over the globe and taken on many opponents, but this very well might be Cross's toughest match-up to date. As soon as this announcement was made there was a rumbling of discontent. We can't say who it was at this point and time, but what we can say is that someone may be out with some interesting comments to make about this match-up.
Also, due to a confrontation backstage at Mother's Day Meltdown, which can only be seen on CWE home video, Culmination will see a long awaited one on one match between Johnny Gargano and Patrick Hayes. Both of these young guns are undefeated in CWE competition, but that will ultimately end on July 20th. This will be a man not to be forgotten.
Lastly, we have just got word that sooner rather than later we will have an opponent for the debuting bad-ass Raymond Rowe. Rowe has been on a path of destruction throughout NorthEast Ohio and Western PA over the last several years, and he is coming July 20th to begin his quest in the CWE ring!
We will have much more in the coming weeks, but for now we encourage everyone to pre order their tickets at our website www.championshipwrestlingonline.com so that they can get the best seats in the house. Front row seats are only $20, second row $15, and general admission just $10! Don't miss your chance to be part of this history making event Friday, July 20th, 2007 and the Jewish Community Center in Youngstown, Ohio!
