PWO FIRST DVD RELEASE AVAILABLE NOW: PWO TV VOL. 1

Since its inception in October of 2007, Pro Wrestling Ohio has redefined how the state of Ohio views independent professional wrestling and has grown to become one of the fastest rising promotions in independent wrestling today. Now, for the first time ever, you can re-live how it all began, as PWO announces the official first release in an on-going series, PWO TV Vol. 1. Witness the inception, witness the initiation, witness the events and carnage that started it all, as they unfolded, as PWO proudly presents its first two television episodes available in DVD format for the very first time!

Re-live the historic first ever match in PWO history as Morty Rackem leads The Cut Throat Crew into a fast-paced, action-packed, adrenaline-fueled tag team encounter with V-Squared: Virus & Virus Grande. It was the match that ushered in the PWO era and showcased the unpredictable non-stop action that was to come!

Re-live the shocking conclusion to the first ever meeting between the egomaniacal prodigy and future of Cleveland wrestling Johnny Gargano as he collided with the inspirational cerebral palsy and near-fatal concussion survivor Gregory Iron. It was an altercation that led to some of the most personal and chaotic moments in PWO’s short history, and you can see here how the animosity began!

Witness the in-ring collision of two of the fastest-rising highly-touted stars in independent wrestling today, “M-Dogg 20” Matt Cross and the “Fabulous” John McChesney. See the jealous rage of Josh Prohibition & Johnny Gargano lead to an anger-driven manhunt by McChesney and Cross throughout the entire building!

Plus: Josh Prohibition steps into the ring with Hobo Joe! The 6’8” 300+ pound Jason Bane attempts to run a 3-man gauntlet! The Indestructable Cronus debuts with agent Aaron Maguire! And special interviews, vignettes, personality profiles, and the bizarre story of the formation of The Socks of Justice!

PWO DVDs are ON SALE NOW at www.pwowrestling.com and at all PWO live events! Re-live the start of a new era and begin your PWO DVD collection today!
