PWO TV Online #111 – Two Titles Decided; Two Participants In Doubt
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA-skoeCz-U
PWO Title: Johnny Gargano vs. Jason Bane vs. Marion Fontaine vs. ???Matt Cross???
It’s a match that has been anticipated for countless weeks, but is now amidst more controversy than ever. Gargano has fought injuries, particularly to his neck, as well as burnout in his efforts to remain PWO Champion and also fulfill his other wrestling commitments across this world. Fontaine claims to have the inside track on the way to beat him, and a rumored business relationship with his #1 fan Aaron Maguire could provide the final nail to Gargano’s coffin. Meanwhile, Bane has been more focused on PWO gold than ever since pinning Raven, and as for “M-Dogg 20” Matt Cross, well… he’s nowhere to be seen. Attempts to reach Cross have been unsuccessful and he is listed as “in doubt” for this scheduled match. This is unlike Matt, who values to the PWO Title more than perhaps anyone. Could recent rumors be an indication of his whereabouts? PWO officials and reporters are pursuing this story and hope to have an update on the broadcast!
PWO Tag Team Titles: Homeless Handicapped Connection vs. Sons of Michigan
Guest Referee: Ben Fruith
With “Amazing” N8 Mattson intimating he is STILL not returning to PWO to join his partner and apprentice, “Big Bear” Benjamin Boone, one might feel Boone is at a disadvantage facing both “Handicapped Hero” Gregory Iron & partner Hobo Joe. However, Boone has spent months bullying and berating Fruith, forcing him to do all his chores, dirty work, and demeaning tasks such as holding the ropes. Boone has demanded that Fruith “do the right thing” and stated Fruith WILL help bring gold back to Michigan whether he likes it or not. Fruith is torn between the intimidation of Boone and the loyalty towards his friends HHC, who only ask for Fruith to call it fairly and give them a fighting chance. Can Boone manipulate authority in his favor? Either way, Ben Fruith has a difficult decision to make with the fate of the PWO Tag Team Titles in his hands.

PWO #2: Bane Runs The Gauntlet
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6e3YxHTQ2c
In looking back on the history of PWO TV, there are many peaks and valleys. One of the more dubious incidents of very early PWO was the destruction of our ringside broadcast table, leading to audio issues over the next two weeks of broadcast, and thusly the re-dubbing of commentary. While it was less than perfect, it showcased the sacrifices willing to be made to help build PWO and make the best possible scenario out of a problematic situation.
Meanwhile, on the card, Jason Bane makes his PWO debut, running the proverbial and literal “Gauntlet” as he battles a very young Bobby Beverly, Benjamin Boone, and The Canadian Bad Boy. Bad Boy also treats us to a unique dance party, and Josh Prohibition goes one-on-one with Hobo Joe.
We also catch up with “M-Dogg 20” Matt Cross and “Fabulous” John McChesney. A week ago, their main event match was ruined thanks to an unprovoked attack by Josh Prohibition & Johnny Gargano, upset over being omitted from the main event. This week, Cross & McChesney are on the same page and on the hunt for Gargano & Prohibition.

This Saturday Night! Stipulation revealed! Final Challengers for the Wildcard!
With only a few days to go before the C*4’s biggest show ever, we have a few small announcements to make as we round out the card.
First off – the stipulation for Josh Alexander and Mike Rollins’ final confrontation – a “No Escape” Chain Match! Neither man will be able to run, or escape as they will be connected by the wrists by a twelve-foot section of steel chain! The only way to win will be by pin-fall or submission, and furthermore NBA members Rahim Ali and MVP will be barred from ringside!
This will certainly be a war – and one where we will finally see a winner.
“No Escape” Chain Match – MVP & Rahim Ali banned from ringside!
“Psycho” Mike Rollins
Vs.
“Ronin” Josh Alexander
Lastly before Saturday, we have the final two participants in the will be competing in the Wildcard Number Contendership Six-Way… Two men who know a thing or two about “Level”-ing up…
“Hacker” Scotty O’Shea – a young man who has become quite the fan favourite in C*4… Having not found much success as of yet in terms of wins, O’Shea is certainly looking to turn things around on Saturday night!
Player Uno – one of C*4’s most popular stars, and one of the inspirations for the “Level Up” event name itself. Uno has been racking up wins since being the man who was pinned by Stupefied last June, and losing his chance at becoming C*4 Champion. Determined and ready, Uno has a lot to gain from a win on Saturday night!
