Currently scheduled for the next premiere broadcast:

BANE PLANS TO CONFRONT CRONUS & AARON MAGUIRE
In each of Bane’s last two matches on Sports Time Ohio, we have seen the appearance of two very unwanted visitors: the indestructible Cronus, along with his money-hungry agent Aaron Maguire. Maguire’s message was clear: He takes objection to Bane’s claims of being the most dominant man in Ohio, instead of his unstoppable monster Cronus. Maguire has laid out an open challenge to Bane on two occasions, but both times has not stuck around to follow through on them. Bane has promised to be in attendance this week and to personally seek out and confront both Cronus & Aaron Maguire in the broadcast. Will Bane find what he’s looking for? Will Aaron Maguire let his charge Cronus stick around long enough for confrontation this week? And who truly is the most dominant man in Ohio today?

N8 MATTSON vs. JUSTIN IDOL
The Michigan elitist Mattson has been quick to boast about never being pinned in a PWO ring, however his opponent this week is gracing a PWO ring for the very first time. Justin Idol has made quite a reputation for himself in the tri-state area, capturing numerous championships over the past several years. This week, Idol makes his way to PWO in an attempt to prove himself to a new crop of competition. Will Idol be able to silence the loudmouth from Michigan or will N8 Mattson add another amazing feat to his list of accomplishments?

GREGORY IRON vs. MATTHEW JUSTICE
The positive wave of momentum for Gregory Iron continues as he heads into battle against his friend and one-time tag partner, Matthew Justice. However, with mounting concerns by doctors fearing Iron is showing lingering post-concussion symptoms, and mounting threats by jealous and insecure rival Johnny Gargano, is Iron pushing himself too far too fast too soon? Matthew Justice, one-half of the Socks of Justice, will use his daredevil skills to try to keep his winning ways as partner Charles “White Socks” Johnson recovers from lingering injuries. Will Iron be able to continue the upward momentum or will Justice finally end his good luck?

JIMMY DEMARCO vs. MARION FONTAINE
When the bizarre “DeeeLicious” Jimmy DeMarco made his PWO debut a few weeks ago, he set out to make a statement, a very physical and painful statement. However, when Marion Fontaine came to the aid of DeMarco’s fallen opponent, the self-proclaimed “Prime Minister of Perversion” DeMarco took exception. This week, DeMarco meets Fontaine one-on-one in a match of two very unique personalities.

DEBUT OF THE ROCK SHOW
Ernie Ballz & Brian Bender of The Clash have promised to debut the newest, most exciting segment in wrestling today, something they call “The Rock Show”. They promised it will put any and all other past wrestling interview segments to shame and feature only the biggest stars being asked the probing questions. What major league star do The Clash have lined up to join them in their debut broadcast and what could possibly unfold with The Clash in control of an entire segment of PWO TV?

Plus: “M-Dogg 20” Matt Cross, “Bloody” Morty Rackem, and more!

Tune in the weekend of March 22 for all this and more! Remember, Pro Wrestling Ohio is only available on Sports Time Ohio! If Sports Time Ohio is NOT part of your DirecTV or Dish Network package, no matter where in the U.S. you are, call your satellite provider today and demand STO!
