Full report
The signature event of Pro Wrestling Ohio every year is “Wrestlelution”, and this year’s installment is officially in the books. An afternoon of drama, emotion, triumph, and defeat. For all involved it was truly “A Defining Moment”.
PWO Champion Johnny Gargano attempted to unleash a year’s worth of hell in one night upon challenger “M-Dogg 20” Matt Cross in a hellacious war that saw the two men battle through a sea of people throughout the entire Nautica Pavilion. Johnny Gargano’s attempts at replicating his dive from a 25 foot balcony the prior year were thwarted by the uncanny aerial abilities of Cross. Matt defied gravity in several ways, not only scaling up the balcony to thwart Gargano, but risking life to tightrope walk across the edge as well, not to mention climbing the support poles of the Nautica Pavilion itself! After a wild brawl, broken tables, shattered bodies, and an ending that quite simply has to be seen to be believed and brings new meaning to “split-second timing” as Gargano literally took out his challenger in mid-air and mid-rotation. Thanks to the sadistic and vile nature of the “old” Johnny Gargano, the “new” Johnny Gargano achieves closure and restores his reputation.
Sex Appeal have spent much of the entire year out to prove they are better than the likes of Gregory Iron & Hobo Joe, The Homeless Handicapped Connection, in every way – physically and mentally. Stepping into this No-disqualification war, Bobby Shields & Bobby Beverly had no issue unleashing their ugly side to prove the dominance and superiority. Iron & Hobo held their own in a wild bloodbath that saw the supposed perfect looks of Beverly and the already war-torn flesh of Iron both bleeding heavily. Hobo & Iron were still very much in the fight with the odds even for the first time until Shields motioned for the arrival of Nicki Valentino, with handcuffs in hand. With an apparent goal of repeating the savage attack they inflicted on Iron & Hobo a few weeks beforehand, they were soon thwarted by an ace up the sleeve of the Homeless Handicapped Connection. Professional wrestling’s only one-legged wrestler, Zach Gowen, emerged through the curtain prepared to even the odds for his fellow underprivileged friends. Gowen eliminated Valentino through the use of his cane, and then unleashed a breathtaking moonsault onto a helpless Beverly. In the confusion, Shields was the one who ironically became handcuffed, allowing a measure of retribution for Hobo Joe. With Zach Gowen keeping the odds fair, Iron & Hobo were finally able to prove themselves and capture the PWO Tag Team Titles, showing that even the most superior of athletes can be bested on any given day.
“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan brought the stars & stripes and his trusty 2×4 to Pro Wrestling Ohio in an attempt to beat some respect into “Megastar” Marion Fontaine. Fontaine was cautious and looking to pick his perfect opportunity, and it soon became apparent why. The Megastar, after besting Duggan for several minutes, looked to eliminate the legend with Hacksaw’s own 2×4! Fontaine’s plans were thwarted and it was “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan with his hand raised, and Marion Fontaine who now has to find another way to show he is the alleged biggest star in PWO.
Raven wheeled in a shopping cart full of violence and brutality, with Agent Aaron Maguire and Mr. Brinks following closely behind, preparing for the $100,000 Bounty Raven’s Rules match against PWO’s Most Dominant Man, Jason Bane. As trash cans, golf clubs, metal trays, chairs, and other implements of destruction became involved, the tide turned multiple times. Raven’s mission of ridding PWO of Bane to collect the $100,000 from Maguire proved to be more difficult than first expected. Involvement from Maguire and Brinks as well aided the cause, but Bane continued to kick out of every pinfall and survive. Even The Raven Effect/Evenflow DDT was NOT enough to keep Bane down for three! Jason Bane persevered, and after numerous attempts, finally hit the Baneline to secure the pin on Raven for three. Maguire, incensed his biggest investment to date hasn’t paid off, verbally berated Raven in the center of the ring, but soon found himself in the middle of a very angry Bane AND Raven, and facing one of the most painful and humiliating moments of his life.
PWO Television Champion “Omega” Aaron Draven knew he had to pin the man who had not been pinned in nearly two years in order to keep the title he covets so dearly. Draven attempted to use speed and his death-defying arsenal to weaken Boone, but it only went so far. After several minutes of Boone demonstrating frightening power and dominance, and sheer determination, Boone motioned for Sons of Michigan lackey Ben Fruith to get involved. However, moments earlier, Fruith had been physically and verbally manhandled by Boone following Fruith’s loss to Portia “Dr. Monstrous” Perez, a match made by Boone himself, where Fruith refused to strike a woman. Fruith, however had no issues about striking Boone, as a retaliatory slap from Fruith brought a roar from the crowd. As Fruith stormed out of the arena, Boone was left a on his own, and the miscommunication allowed Omega to recover and achieve the near-impossible. After a breathtaking 450 splash, Omega Aaron Draven has pinned Benjamin Boone.
The first of two six man tags saw The Ninja Elite Squad, Michael “The Bomber” Façade, Louis Lyndon, and Flip Kendrick, unite to take on Shiima Xion’s hired guns The Gambino Family, and their partner… Nicki Valentino? While The Gambinos and Sex Appeal have done business in the past, it appeared this partnership did not mesh very well. As Marshall “The Bull” and “Nice Guy” Mickey looked to attack and assault at the request of Shiima, still at home recovering from injury, Valentino however seemed to not hold up his end of the bargain, and was perhaps more focused on his necktie than with the job at hand. After The Ninja Elite Squad had gained full control and had The Gambino Family on the outside, Mickey & Marshall chose to save the job for another day, and leave Valentino to the proverbial wolves. “Late Nite” Nicki had a long night on the receiving end of NES’ best before being finished off by Flip Kendrick. But what will happen when Shiima Xion comes back?
Elimination rules were in effect in the battle between former Clash teammates Ernie Ballz and Brian Bender as they battled to determine who truly led their former tag team to prominence. After Ernie, Eric Ryan, and Corey Winters had eliminated The Puerto Rican Wrecking Crew, the ego of Ernie Ballz took over, as he seemed to be dictating Eric & Corey’s every move, or at least attempting to. Though Eric Ryan had things well in hand, Ernie’s distraction led to Bender eliminating Ryan. In a shocking turn of events, Krimson appeared following Ryan’s elimination. While it was unsure his motives, he sprayed Ryan with that mysterious red mist, before carrying Ryan off over his shoulder. But why? Meanwhile, Corey Winters had had enough as well, and abandoned his team leader leaving Ballz vs. Bender one-on-one. After several minutes of Ernie’s brains vs. Bender’s athleticism, Brian Bender emerged triumphant as the sole survivor.
Krimson’s scheduled bout with Super Hentai did not take place due to a last minute family emergency with Hentai, however Krimson was on hand to hint that he may know a little more about this emergency than meets the eye. It seems Krimson has taken his professional crusade against the wrestling business an extra several steps, and is stepping into personal lives as well. As Krimson described this issue with a sadistic grin, Michael Façade made his second appearance of the evening, this time to stand up and fight in honor of a man who spent many years training and mentoring him, Super Hentai. With Façade taking Hentai’s place, Krimson was able to unleash much of his pent-up fury, though The Bomber pressed on utilizing his remarkable aerial skills. With Krimson’s growing power and Façade already fatigued from one match earlier in the evening, Krimson uses the “Witch’s Wheel” to win once again.
