Upcoming airtimes for new episode of PWO TV:
Saturday night, December 29: 12:00 midnight; 1:00 am
Sunday night, December 30: 10:00 pm
Currently scheduled for the broadcast:
Josh Prohibition vs. “Megastar" Marion Fontaine
Josh Prohibition and Johnny Gargano proved to be a very successful duo on our last broadcast of PWO TV, when they used their skill, resourcefulness and a little chicanery to down the team of “M-Dogg 20" Matt Cross and “Fabulous" John McChesney. With no one having heard from either Cross or McChesney since the loss a week ago, one has to wonder if Prohibition & Gargano have successfully eliminated two of their most threatening rivals. This week, Prohibition enters singles competition against one man who’s no stranger to threatening rivals, Marion Fontaine. While Fontaine may be undersized and outmatched on the surface, the Megastar has a heart and athletic prowess that more than makes up for any physical shortcomings, as evidenced by Fontaine taking the monstrous Cronus to his absolute limit on our last broadcast. Will Prohibition be able to continue his winning ways or will the tenacity of Fontaine win out? And what about Fontaine’s apparent manager… “Macho Grosh"?!?
Jason Bane vs. “Amazing" N8 Mattson
He is already on his way to establishing himself as the most dominant man in the state of Ohio. He’s at least 6’7", he’s at least 300 lbs. and he is an absolute wrecking machine named Jason Bane. In his PWO debut, Bane quickly disposed of three different men in a gauntlet match, and now has his sights set one-on-one. N8 Mattson is a physically impressive star from the Michigan area, part of the “Michigan Invasion" tag team which stresses anyone from their home state is superior to all others. Will Michigan win out this time or will the huge Jason Bane continue his stretch of domination?
“Bloody" Morty Rackem vs. Virus
Our debut broadcast of PWO TV featured a fast-paced, action-packed, high-flying showcase of two amazing teams: Virus & Virus Grande, collectively known as V-Squared, and “Bloody" Morty Rackem & “Ruthless" Rufio Rapier, collectively known as The Cut Throat Crew. After V-Squared cheated to come out on top, and The CTC retaliated by commandeering V-Squared’s car, PWO management wanted to bring you a special return bout this week, but apparently an incident has occurred to prevent that. Rumors state that an altercation occurred between V-Squared and Rufio Rapier in an undisclosed location that left Rufio with career-threatening injuries. Not only that, but sources also indicate that V-Squared made off with the Cut Throat Crew’s priceless heirloom swords. How will Morty Rackem react to his fallen partner and will he be able to survive Virus one-on-one and retrieve the prized swords he holds in such high regard?
Tune in the weekend of December 29th for all that 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!
And for those of you who missed last week’s broadcast, be on the lookout for a special rebroadcast this weekend! Check local listings or www.sportstimeohio.com for times!

Knight and 16 of his graduates performed on WWE Raw and SmackDown television and pay-per-view events, including former IWF Champion Damian Adams, former IWF Champion Fred Sampson, and former American Champion Travis Blake.
