Pro Wrestling Ohio airs the most action-packed sixty minutes in wrestling on the official television home of the Cleveland Indians, Sports Time Ohio! PWO provides a steady stream of action with new episodes premiering bi-weekly, and several rebroadcasts scheduled in the interim so fans have multiple chances to catch PWO TV. Sports Time Ohio is available in over 4 million homes on cable television throughout Ohio and into parts of Western Pennsylvania. Sports Time Ohio is also available NATIONWIDE to satellite dish subscribers of both DirecTV and Dish Network. If you are a dish subscriber and do not have Sports Time Ohio on your line-up and want to be part of the PWO experience, call your satellite provider today and request Sports Time Ohio be added to your line-up, as STO may only be available on select satellite sports packages depending on your location in the United States. For more information on PWO TV's availability, visit http://www.pwowrestling.com or http://www.myspace.com/prowrestlingohio.
Check your local listings for exact airtimes for NEW PWO TV this weekend!
Currently scheduled for this premiere broadcast:
GREGORY IRON vs. “DeeeLicious” JIMMY DEMARCO
PWO’s most inspirational story thrives on as the cerebral palsy and near-fatal concussion survivor Gregory Iron valiantly marches into battle against the self-proclaimed “Prime Minister of Perversion” Jimmy DeMarco. DeMarco has recent made Marion Fontaine the target of his abuse, but tonight will set out to crush the dreams of Ohio’s most unlikely star. Will DeMarco be successful? Will doctors’ recent concerns over potential long-term damage to Iron’s head stemming from his last concussion hold true? And what response, if any, will Iron have to the ominously threatening comments from Johnny Gargano made on our last broadcast?
JOHNNY GARGANO IN ATTENDANCE: WILL HE CARRY OUT HIS THREAT?
On the last broadcast of PWO TV, we saw a very different side of Johnny Gargano. The usually loud, obnoxious, overbearing Gargano was subdued, isolated, and borderline maniacal. It was a new side of Gargano, as his inability to eliminate Gregory Iron from his career, and life, have seemed to drive him nearly over the edge. Gargano stated if Gregory Iron ever said or did anything to Gargano again, Johnny would do something that everyone, perhaps even himself, will regret. Will Gargano’s insecurities over being bested by a “freak” and a “cripple” finally push Gargano too far?
JOSH PROHIBITION vs. HIROMI HORIGUCHI
PWO’s most obnoxious antagonist Josh Prohibition steps into action against an internationally-renowned star in Hiromi Horiguchi, competing in his very first match on US soil. Horiguchi has had success in Japan, as well as Canada, and has all the tools to go very far, being a top student of the legendary Ultimo Dragon. Will Horiguchi’s US debut be a success or will Josh Prohibition send the international star packing?
MORTY RACKEM & ??? vs. V-SQUARED
“Bloody” Morty Rackem has been in search of a new partner to sail the high seas with ever since Virus & Virus Grande eliminated his former partner from professional wrestling. Rackem has signed on for a tag match with V-Squared this week, but has he found a partner? V-Squared have been able to stay one step ahead of Rackem for weeks upon weeks now, always escaping with Rackem’s most prized possession: the heirloom swords that V-2 stole a few months ago. Will Morty Rackem finally find a partner prepared to march into battle with him? Or will V-2 send the swashbuckling superstar back to square one?
CRONUS w/Aaron Maguire vs. CHUCK “White Socks” JOHNSON
The indestructible Cronus, along with loudmouthed agent Aaron Maguire have spent several weeks calling out the 6’8 300 lb. Bane on claims of who truly is the most dominant man in PWO, and all of Ohio. Bane has seemed more than ready for the challenge, but whenever it seems Bane and Cronus are finally about to settle their issue, the annoying Maguire interjects, claiming the money isn’t right for such a high-profile clash. Rumor has it Maguire has spent the past two weeks preparing some sort of surprise for Bane. Will these two monsters cross paths and, if so, what does Maguire have up his sleeve for Bane?
Plus: Comments from the debuting Lionel Knight and so much more!
Tune in the weekend of April 19 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! Check local listings or www.sportstimeohio.com for times!
