PWU TV Episode 1 Review; 10/27 & 11/3 Tickets On Sale Now
ProWrestlingUnplugged.com
Pro Wrestling Unplugged's Power Surge TV has made Wednesdays the new night for wrestling on TV!
Broadcasting on Comcast Philadelphia channel 66 and Comcast Lower Merion channel 98, new episodes of Power Surge TV air Wednesdays at 8 pm. PSTV is also simulcast on ProWrestlingUnplugged.com for free all week long.
>From the debut episode you can still catch until next Wednesday on ProWrestlingUnplugged.com:
• For our new fans, Power Surge TV started with a special video introduction to the stars of PWU.
• A rivalry building since PWU's "Moore Than Enough" (available on DVD from PWU's Pro Shop) exploded onto Power Surge TV as Violent J of The Insane Clown Posse, 2 Tuff Tony, and Corporal Robinson (aka The Hatchet Boyz) were selected by the fans to face The Thomaselli Brothers (Sal, Vito, & Brandon). The triple teaming tactics of The Thomaselli's and the fan supported insanity of The Hatchet Boyz lead to a new level of chaos. Chair shots, Violent J flying from the top rope to the floor, a Flaming Fist, & more all led to a conclusion as insane as the match itself!
• A special Detox highlight reel was aired showing off the aerial excellence of the XFC Wrestling Training Center graduate.
• Too Cold Scorpio sat down with Nate Stein to answer questions about his start in wrestling, travelling around the world, wrestling some of the best wrestlers there have ever been, and being in Pro Wrestling Unplugged.
• In a Platform Steel Cage Match for the PWU Tag Team Titles, champions All Money Is Legal (K-Murda and K-Pusha) defended against The SAT (Joel and Jose Maximo). The SAT had been on a path of destruction trying to regain "their" tag team gold - breaking the wrist of referee Derek Sabato, breaking the ankle of Missie Sampson, and injuring the ribs of referee J.W. Modina. But locked inside a steel cage, it became more about the gold. Both teams wanted each other's blood. From two of the most innovate tag teams in wrestling, locked inside a steel cage with platforms in each corner, it was one of the highest and hardest impact matches that you must see to be believed.
• Power Surge TV hosts Dan "The Phan" Cowhey and Jake Black looked at the history of the first three holders of the PWU World Heavyweight Title - "The Notorious 187" Homicide, "The International Superstar" Trent Acid, and Too Cold Scorpio.
• In your main event: Joey Matthews took on Trent Acid. Matthews started by calling Acid "jealous" of his accomplishments threatening Acid he will "beat some respect into him." Acid had a response though, "Yeah, I am bitter. Because frankly, you're just a Backseat wanna-be rip-off," promising Matthews a beat down. These two went at each other full steam ahead as soon as the bell sounded. The action stayed intense in the ring, turned vicious when both men spilled out of the ring, and showed the determination of both men to stay at the top of the ranks of Pro Wrestling Unplugged.
See the action of PWU Power Surge TV's debut episode right now on ProWrestlingUnplugged.com until next week's next action filled episode.

PWI names 21 Quebeckers to PWI 500
Including 16 IWS Regulars
With IWS Blood, Sweat and Beers at the Medley merely days away, the wrestling bible, Pro Wrestling Illustrated, released its annual list of the best 500 wrestlers on the planet this week, the PWI 500. Quebec had a record number of wrestlers on the list, 21, including 16 International Wrestling Syndicate regulars.
Recognized for their wrestling ability were the following: Kevin Steen (IWS), El Generico (IWS), Sylvan Grenier, Max Boyer (IWS), Viking (IWS), Jake Matthews (IWS), Dru Onyx (IWS), Sexxxy Eddy (IWS), Dan Paysan (IWS), Franky the Mobster (IWS), Bishop, Beef Wellington (IWS) (not the deceased Bif Wellington of Calgary), Player Uno (IWS), Chakal, Jagged (IWS), Tank, Justin White (IWS), MVP (Ottawa’s Michael Von Payton not the WWE’s MVP, both made the list), Pierre Carl Ouellet (IWS), Shayne Hawke (IWS), and Shane Matthews (IWS).
Being named one of the top 500 wrestlers in the world is always an honour, but this year more Quebeckers made the list than ever have before. In fact according to Pat Laprade, editor of the Quebec Wrestling Almanac, 21 Quebeckers on the PWI 500 more than doubles the best showing by Quebec on the list and even that would be going back to the mid 90s when the PWI 500 was still young.
So how do we celebrate this recognition that some of the best wrestlers in the world come from La Belle Province, something which most of us knew, but that the world is just starting to recognize?
Let me suggest two ways:
First, go out and buy a copy of the PWI 500 magazine. Its official release date is June 25th, but it can be found now on the shelves of most large magazine stores. If nothing else it makes a great autograph book. Even a confirmed psycho grump like “Paranoid" Jake Matthews can probably be persuaded to sign the magazine that lists his name as one of the best in the world.
Secondly, come see IWS Blood, Sweat and Beers this Saturday. Scheduled to wrestle are 14 of the 21 Quebeckers who made the PWI 500 list. In addition, Team 3D, the team formerly known as the Dudleyz, will be appearing, as well as the Briscoe Brothers who are invading Canada to get some payback on Team Steenerico (Kevin Steen and El Generico) who have been making their lives miserable all over the Northeast. Needless to say, all four of those men are on the PWI 500.
My math is a little rusty, but 14 plus 4 equals 18, which begs the question why my boss, PCP Crazy F’N Manny is bragging that he is going to try and push the number of PWI 500 members at Blood, Sweat and Beers up to an even 20?
We have always bragged at the IWS that the best wrestlers in the world show up for our Medley shows. This time around, we have proof.
