SIGNED MATCHES –
ALL WEEKEND LONG – 8 MAN SINGLE ELIMINATION #1 CONTENDER TOURNAMENT
Over the past several months, countless individuals have stepped forward and laid claim to the spot of #1 contender for the PWO Championship and currently titleholder Johnny Gargano. Gargano has done his best to handle this mounting pressure, though it is clear the stress involved in being such a marked man would be enough to lead anyone to the breaking point. However, PWO management has selected the 8 men deemed most worthy to challenge for the PWO Championship and has placed them in a weekend-long single elimination tournament, with the winner to challenge Gargano in our final Live TV Taping of the weekend on Sunday afternoon. The first round matches and tournament brackets are as follows –
?M-Dogg 20? Matt Cross vs. ?Megastar? Marion Fontaine
Cross attempts to earn the title shot promised to him by Gargano last fall, while Fontaine looks to avenge months of alleged repression by PWO management.
?Big Bear? Benjamin Boone vs. Michael ?The Bomber? Fa?ade
Boone is unpinned in over a year as a ?Son of Michigan?, while Fa?ade took Gargano to his limit in a recent non-title outing
?Amazing? N8 Mattson vs. TBA
Mattson has momentum as TV Champion, but the disadvantage of not knowing his opponent until the weekend comes!
?PWO’s Most Dominant Man? Jason Bane vs. Sex Appeal’s Bobby Beverly
Bane looks to overcome an evil agent’s malicious bounty and use it as motivation to go to the very top, while Beverly looks to add to his current Tag Title, and possible collect a bounty in the process.
Plus: The Semifinal and Final rounds!
FRIDAY: LADDER MATCH FOR #1 TV TITLE CONTENDER – OMEGA AARON DRAVEN vs. MICHAEL ?THE BOMBER? FA?ADE vs. MATTHEW JUSTICE
Three of PWO’s thrill-seeking daredevils do battle to earn a shot at PWO TV Champ N8 Mattson. Justice & Fa?ade have taken each other to the limit before in a wild altercation, and have earned mutual respect for one another, but its all out the window with a title shot at stake. Aaron Draven was PWO’s first TV champ and craves one more shot to recapture the belt from the man who defeated him twice. Which man will not just win, but survive?
SATURDAY: 20-MAN GAUNTLET MATCH
Its one of the most beloved and unpredictable matches in wrestling. Two men start the match, and at equally timed intervals another joins the fray until all 20 have entered the match. Elimination occurs when a wrestler is thrown over the top rope and both feet hit the floor. PWO’s biggest and best will all be entered. Who will be the last one standing?
SATURDAY: BONUS HARDCORE RULES MATCH – WILL NOT AIR ON PWO TV!
As a special added attraction late into our Saturday night tapings, we will present a special no-rules anything-goes hardcore rules match exclusively for those fans in attendance that evening! Due to the risk of violence, this match will NOT be shown on PWO TV and the only way to catch it is to be there live! Comes as you want, bring what you want, wear what you want!
SUNDAY: PWO CHAMPIONSHIP: JOHNNY GARGANO vs. TOURNAMENT WINNER
If Johnny Gargano can make it to March 21 as PWO Champion, he will defend the top prize in Pro Wrestling Ohio against whomever is victorious in the PWO Title tournament. With 8 very different, very diverse, and very determined athletes to train and prepare for at once, can Gargano possibly have the focus necessary to overcome whomever his opposition may be? Gargano’s greatest test as champion is undoubtedly coming March 21.
PLUS: Throughout the weekend, see all the rest of your favorite PWO stars, in addition to the names listed above, including PWO Tag Champions Bobby Shields, Nicki Valentino, and Dawn Decadence of Sex Appeal, ?Handicapped Hero?
