Atomic Championship Wrestling (ACW) will be hosting a pro wrestling seminar featuring the one and only, former WWE superstar Manu!
Due to health related issues, “Nature Boy” Buddy Landell will not be appearing but we were able to secure the services of Manu!
The seminar will take place at 2 p.m. on May 22, 2010, the afternoon of ACW’s Fourth Annual Anniversary Show.
The cost for the seminar is $20 and is for those serious in learning wrestling from one of the all-time greats. Those who are interested in attending the seminar must commit to paying the $20 to Twisted Tate. There is no backing out, as this is a golden chance to be up close with this young superstar!
Your attendance at the seminar is totally separate from any participation in the Anniversary Show – in other words, just because you pay to come to the seminar doesn’t mean you are booked for the Anniversary Show.
We are looking to get approximately 20 in attendance for this rare opportunity to learn from one of the rising young superstars in pro wrestling with a long family history – MANU!”
For more information, contact Twisted Tate or Heavy D via text, cell or Facebook.

WFX Wrestling’s signature broadcast WFX Overload premieres in primetime on America One starting Friday Night, June 4th at 9:00pm EST.
Here’s all the details:
http://www.americaone.com/shows/showpage.php?ProgramTitle=WFX%20Overload
and…
WFX Wrestling is currently based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada but they are in the process of opening up a U.S. office in Texas and moving their headquarters to that location.
They’re also planning an international tour later this year–as well as a major PPV. It’s pretty amazing that they’ve been able to stay under the radar this long.
WFX Wrestling boasts many superstars on their roster such as Mr. PEC-Tacular Jessie Godderz from CBS’ Big Brother, Christopher Daniels, Charlie Haas, KIP (formerly known as “Bad Ass” Billy Gunn), U-Gene Dinsmore, Jonny Fairplay, Hardcore Holly, Tajiri, Bushwacker Luke, Sabu, Gangrel, and “The Living Legend” Larry Zbyszko.
Other superstars that are rumored on their way in include Shelton Benjamin, Buff Bagwell, Sid Vicious, Trevor Murdoch and Lance Cade.
The surprising news is that ever since they signed Mr. PEC-Tacular Jessie Godderz as a Headliner back in March, WFX’s mainstream popularity has substantially increased and that looks to be the primary impetus for their latest television exposure.
That seems to be making a huge difference in how potential television outlets are viewing WFX as opposed to other organizations.
And here’s all of the info on WFX’s other television contracts that go onto effect this month:
Their main website is:

WFX Wrestling looks like they’re on their way up while TNA looks like it’s reached it’s peak and is starting to decline…rapidly.

Pro Wrestling Ohio TV airtimes this week –
Sunday night, May 23: 10:00 PM & 3:30 AM
Wednesday night, May 26: 4:00 AM
Friday night, May 28: 2:00 AM
Scheduled line-up –
PWO Title #1 Contender Tournament Final – “M-Dogg 20” Matt Cross vs. “Amazing” N8 Mattson
After a weeks-long war of attrition, only two title contenders remain from the original field of 8, with the winner to be next in line to challenge PWO Champion Johnny Gargano for Pro Wrestling Ohio’s top prize. N8 Mattson is still the reigning PWO TV Champion and looks to become PWO’s first-ever dual champion and solidify the dominance of The Sons of Michigan. M-Dogg Matt Cross looks to FINALLY achieve a goal he has been fighting to attain for over a year – a shot at the title he once wore so proudly but was screwed out of so heinously. N8 has been looking on at Gargano title defenses for months. M-Dogg has been chasing a PWO Title shot for over a year. Will Gargano battle Michigan’s finest or will Gargano’s promise of and M-Dogg title match finally be granted by PWO management after this tournament final? Who will move on to challenge Gargano, and will they be the next PWO Champion?
Bounty Match: Jason Bane vs. Brian Bender
Bane continues to be a marked man thanks to Aaron Maguire’s ever-growing bounty, and this week former Clash member Brian Bender attempts to collect. Bender and former championship partner Ernie Ballz have been embroiled in a weeks-long debate over whom truly carried their Clash tag team. While Ballz has attempted to prove his point by guiding a new tag team, Eric Ryan & Corey Winters, Bender has attempted to prove his point by battling PWO’s most dangerous athletes, including Krimson, and now PWO’s Most Dominant Man, Jason Bane. This bounty has only motivated Bane, helping push him to get in the best shape of his entire career. Can Bender end Bane’s career and become a rich man overnight? Or will Aaron Maguire’s plan be thwarted again?
“Big Bear” Benjamin Boone vs. Isaac Montana
“Son of Michigan” member Ben Boone may still be unpinned, but suffered a painful countout loss this past week to send him packing from the PWO Title Tournament. This week, Boone attempts to take out his frustrations by digging his claws into Isaac Montana of the Puerto Rican Wrecking Crew. Will Montana end Boone’s unpinned streak or will Boone take out his frustrations?
Women’s Action: Portia Perez vs. Sassy Steph
Our format sheet says “Portia Perez”. Our eyes tell us we’ve seen Portia Perez in recent weeks on television. However, according to this young woman, her name is not Portia. It is “Dr. Monstrous” and she is a superhero. Yep. A superhero. In a poorly constructed children’s costume that does as little as possible to conceal her identity. After being unable to score a win in PWO, Portia disappeared for a number of months, announcing she would “call a close friend”. What we got is Dr. Monstrous. We’re not sure the details, and if we are actually supposed to believe this gag, but Sassy Steph, making her PWO return after an over two year absence, has the task of figuring out how to conquer our apparent newfound hero. Does Por—er, Dr. Monstous really possess powers not of this Earth. Or perhaps more accurately – does she think she does?
