PRO WRESTLING OHIO DEBUTS SATURDAY NIGHT OCTOBER 20
The evolution of professional wrestling in Ohio continues. In the wake of uncertainty, a new force has emerged. A force that is young, fast, fresh, and determined above all else to leave its mark. A force full of hungry young athletes desperately craving the attention and adulation of a national television platform, and who will risk it all to gain and keep it. A force on the cusp of realizing a rich potential and making a major statement. This force is simply known as… Pro Wrestling Ohio. The new home for the best and brightest professional wrestling talents in the state of Ohio and beyond is PWO. The new home for the most exciting hour of wrestling on television will be PWO on STO. A new beginning, a new journey, and a new dynasty will commence on Saturday night, October 20th with the official launch of Pro Wrestling Ohio.
BE A PART OF PRO WRESTLING OHIO’s DEBUT SHOW!
Westside Metals and Eastside Metals Corporation proudly presents the debut live event for Pro Wrestling Ohio: Saturday night, October 20! 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. This WILL be the very first television taping for Pro Wrestling Ohio on Sports Time Ohio so this is your chance to be featured in millions of homes throughout the state of Ohio, and countless more on a nationwide basis on select systems. Be sure to bring your signs, banners, and enthusiasm and help kick off the PWO era in style. Tickets are only $15 front row, $10 General Admission in advance, $12 GA the day of the show. For more information on October 20 and PWO, please visit www.pwowrestling.com or www.myspace.com/prowrestlingohio.
TALENT CONFIRMED FOR PRO WRESTLING OHIO
The Pro Wrestling Ohio management team is feverishly at work negotiating with and signing only the best wrestling talent in the state of Ohio and beyond to ensure that the level of competition in PWO is far superior to that of any other wrestling promotion in recent memory. The following is only a small sample of the top-notch caliber competition that will be regularly seen on Pro Wrestling Ohio broadcasts and live events.
Josh Prohibition - One of the most famous wrestlers to emerge from the Cleveland area in quite some time, Josh has plied his trade all over the world on numerous continents, perhaps most notably capturing a great deal of both attention and championship gold north of the border in Canada. Whether in tag team or individual competition, the outspoken, controversial, and oftentimes offensive Prohibition can back up everything he says, and is best known for finishing opponents with the “Drunken Driver"
“M-Dogg 20" Matt Cross - Josh Prohibition’s equally well-known counter-part, M-Dogg and Josh have found themselves as both allies and fierce rivals several times over their careers. Dubbed “The Innovator of Aerial Insanity" due to his wide array of breathtakingly dangerous high-risk moves he’s mastered, M-Dogg has also had international success in numerous countries, and is also a current stand-out in the Ring of Honor promotion. There is not much M-Dogg cannot do, and no title he can’t challenge for.
Jason Bane - The most physically intimidating member of the PWO roster, Bane stands in at nearly 6’8" tall and weighs in excess of 300 pounds. Bane has been the proverbial brick wall, nearly unmovable and unstoppable throughout his entire wrestling career. A man who has made examples out of several former and current national stars, Bane’s dominance in the ring is usually topped off by a near-decapitating “Baneline" that few, if any, have recovered from.
Johnny Gargano - A true prodigy in every sense of the word, the brash and arrogant youngster has already amassed a staggering list of accomplishments in just two years of ring time. Whether it be wins over men like Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin, or the major championships he’s already held around the northeast, Gargano truly has proven himself to be wise beyond his years. However, with young success, comes a growing and oftentimes uncontrollable ego, and Gargano’s attitude, overconfidence, and on some occasions downright immaturity have proven to be this young prospect’s major flaw.
Cronus - A man who is silent but deadly, a man who lets his actions speak louder than his words, Cronus may seem calm and serene, but inside him is a ferocious mean streak just waiting to be unleashed. With the body of a Greek God and the strength of a modern-day Atlas, Cronus may just end up as the man to beat in PWO. And with his impactful variation of the F-5 as the main staple of his offense, that feat is no doubt much easier said than done.
Gregory Iron - Perhaps the most inspirational athlete on the PWO roster, Gregory Iron has overcome more odds and obstacles in his lifetime than most can even fathom. From being born with cerebral palsy, to a troubled childhood, to a career and indeed life-threatening injury mere weeks ago, Iron has fought through it all and come out a stronger and better human being because of it. He’s not the biggest, or the toughest, but he may just have enough guts, determination, talent, and luck to surprise even his harshest of critics.
Many, many more names will be added to the PWO roster in upcoming weeks. Stay posted to this website, www.pwowrestling.com, and to the official PWO MySpace (www.myspace.com/prowrestlingohio) for all the late-breaking news and information.

NCW sent this in:
A match between Andrew Bates and referee "Pistol" Pete McGraw has been officially signed for NCW's November 3rd show in York, Pa at York County Tech.
On Monday, August 27th 2007, NCW officially signed a match between "Master" Andrew Bates and referee "Pistol" Pete McGraw to take place during the November 3rd show for NCW at York County Tech. The Match has been titled by NCW Matchmakers as the "Respect My Authority" Match.
The 2 individuals in the match have been the center of legitimate controversy over the past several months stemming from an incident in a Reading nightclub. This incident, where Andrew Bates allegedly struck referee Pete McGraw with a beer bottle, was apparently the result of numerous incidents between the two at various wrestling shows, as well as numerous encounters at any place the two were required to be within a 10 mile proximity of one another.
McGraw, not a licensed wrestler at this point, will have to apply for the proper credentials to wrestle on the event. McGraw has stated he could care less about this as he feels the paperwork he signed to face Bates is "his license to pay the receipt" he owes Bates.
NCW Officials did not want this match to even take place because of the worry both McGraw and Bates would take their hatred to levels way beyond the boundaries of any kind of safety. Andrew Bates was also very hesitant about signing on for the match, claiming that McGraw was not a wrestler and just some referee who thinks he's something he's not. Bates also complained that all of the NCW referee's would be biased for "their boy" and "fellow crony", and in no way could he get a fair match.
UPDATE...
Problem solved ! McGraw has been officially licensed by the PA State Athletic Commission, to take part in this match as a wrestler, and NCW went out and signed a "TROUBLE SHOOTING" referee to officiate this grudge encounter !!!
Former Penn State University Wrestling Kingpin, & Red Lion Area Senior High Varsity Wrestling Coach, All-American BIFF WALIZER has signed to wear the stripes on Nov.3rd & act as trouble shooting referee for this big, big match !
Walizer is without question, a legitimate tough guy, with an incredible background.
NCW bookers have stated " A guy like Biff, is exactly what we need in this match." "He will control the actions and emotions of these 2 hated rivals, he'll take no guff, and we feel that with his local ties he'll also end up being a box office attraction"
Credentials you say ? You want Credentials ?
Biff, was a 4 year starter at PSU, where he earned the distinction of All-American his senior year. He finished his college career with an incredible 101 wins. This came after a storied high school career which saw Walizer win four District 6 Tournament titles from 1991 to 1994 and four Northwest Regional Tournament titles. He earned two titles at the PIAA Championships, winning at 125 in both his a sophomore and junior years, followed by a 4th place finish in 130 weight class as a senior. Walizer finished his high school career with a 137-7 record.
Biff now heads into his ninth season as Head Coach for the Red Lion Varsity Wrestling Team, bringing with him a 98-44 record, and he is set to add to these credentials as he takes a foray into the world of Mixed Martial Arts !!!!
Other accomplishments include..
1990 USA Cadet Freestyle champion
1996 USA University Freestyle champion
1995 USA FILA Junior World Greco-Roman champion
1999 NCAA Division I All-American
2000 District 6 Hall of Fame inductee
Biff joins a star studded card, headlined by "The Living Legend" Bruno Sammartino, as well as Missy Hyatt, Adam Flash, "Dirty Deeds" Darren Wyse, The Hungarian Barbarian & so much more.
