RESULTS!! GNW ON TOUR #230 ****************************** 4/11/2024 Butte Civic Center, Butte, Montana Attendance: 6,484 ************************************** It was a highly successful evening for the BAD GUYS of GNW, as the Butte Civic Center crowd witnessed an epic night of Great North Wrestling action!!
Fit Finlay bested High-Flyer member Jim Brunzell in a very competitive opening match. It went back and forth at first, with a slight tip in Brunzell's favor. That soon turned, as Finlay takes Jim outside the ring for a good thrashing. Then he tosses his opponent back into the ring pinning him after a Finlay Special/TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER combo. Time: (7:02).
Bob Armstrong started out red-hot in his match against Nord the Barbarian, but eventually he too, falls in defeat tonight in Butte. Nord absorbs everything Bob dishes out even kicking out of a pair of GEORGIA JAWJACKERS! Bob however couldn't kick out from John's heavy, heavy LEG DROP. Time: (5:10).
In the "Battle of the Brutes", Big John Studd and Samoa Joe put on a rousing and physical tour de force! These two behemoths hammered away at each other, as the crowd squealed in delight! Heavy punches, and powerful kicks were felt by both competitors. Tonight belonged to Studd as he catches Joe with a big boot to the mush, then follows up with a spine-cracking BACKBREAKER for the 1,2,3.Time: (8:36).
**********INTERMISSION**********
The night didn't get any better for the fan favorites after the intermission as the HEELS kept on winning. This time it was a cocky Curt Hennig who steals the victory over Eddie Guerrero! Guerrero made Henning look clumsy and slow, using a variety of aerial maneuvers and high impact offensive beels and tosses. After Henning re-enters the ring, having left it to gather himself for a bit, he uses a low-blow to get his offense started. After Eddie kicks out of his HENNIG PLEX, Curt drives a running knee lift to Guerrero's chin and covers him for the pin. Time: (11:56).
Ray Stevens was in no mood to be messed with tonight as he tore through the high-flying islander Jimmy Snuka in front of a stunned Butte Civic Center crowd! The Crippler was meaner and nastier than ever, and never let up on The Superfly. After a brief offensive period from Snuka, Ray took back the momentum after an outside melee where he slammed Jimmy on the arena floor before tossing him back into the squared circle. Back inside it was all Stevens. He bodyslams Snuka and finishes him with his patented BOMBS AWAY from off the top turnbuckle! Time: (13:29).
**GNW WORLD TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP** No matter who won tonight's MAIN EVENT it was a clean sweep for Great North Wrestling HEELS tonight in Butte Montana. The Mongols squared off with the GNW WORLD TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONS THE HEART-STOPPERS (Ox Baker and Stan Stasiak). It was a brutal match to say the least, totally lacking in polished tag-team wrestling, but rife with entertaining brawling action. Bepo and Geeto did not take a step backwards in retreat but matched Baker/Stasiak blow for blow! An ugly brawling free-for-all and the crowd in attendance loved every second of it. Most of this match took place on the outside of the ring, and eventually THE MONGOLS were disqualified by the referee for using their chains to bust open Stasiak as Baker lumbered around the ring to get to his partner on the other side. All 4 men proceeded to battle all the way to the locker-rooms! WINNERS BY DQ AND STILL GNW WORLD TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONS OX BAKER AND STAN STASIAK the HEART-STOPPERS! Time: (10:44).
Brian Sager: That's a wrap Butte Montana, what a night! We look forward to returning very,very soon! Next up is GNW ON TOUR #231 April 14th 7pm from The Minot-Dome in Minot, North Dakota! Until then stay safe fans, and good night from all of us here at Great North Wrestling, WHERE THE ACTION NEVER STOPS!!

RESULTS!! GNW ON TOUR #231 ******************************** 4/14/2024 MSU Dome, Minot, North Dakota ATTENDANCE: 5,551 ********************************** Minot was on fire Sunday night as Great North Wrestling made a stop in Minot!!
THE RAGING BULL, Manny Fernandez ran rampant in the MSU Dome as he took down the enigmatic Chris Colt! Colt made a good accounting of himself, albeit in a losing effort. Fernandez tags Colt with a FLYING BURRITO for the win! Time : (10:23).
The One Man Gang made one huge impression on the Minot crowd as he literally crushes the always tough Hercules Ayala! Ayala did his best to take the big man down, but in the end OMG was just too much for ol' HERC tonight. After tossing Ayala around the outside of the ring, GANG nearly broke the ring with an incredible 747 SPLASH that pancakes AYALA into the mat! Time: (6:47).
In our rousing tag-team feature, The British Bulldogs clashed with The Working Man's Team Al and Don Greene. It was a tussle that couldn't be decided within the 30 minute time-limit! Both teams battled hard, and the match was loaded with great teamwork, and offensive and defensive strategy! The BRITS were all impact and quickness, while The Greenes showed their toughness and grit. This match ends as all 4 men were going at it tooth and nail in the center of the ring.(Bulldogs 3 fatigue,Greenes 3). 30 MINUTE TIME-LIMIT DRAW.
***********INTERMISSION**********
The Great Malenko was the victor in our first match after the break, defeating Rocky Johnson in a very good match. Johnson nearly pinned Malenko after a FLYING CROSS BODY off the ropes, but The Great One manages to get a foot under the ropes,forcing the break. They fought back and forth, until Malenko drops Johnson throat first on the top-rope (no DQ). Then it only takes a bodyslam to keep Rocky's shoulders to the canvas just long enough for the 3-count. Time:(11:19).
***GNW INTER-STATE TITLE SHOT MATCH*** Ilio DiPaolo will get another shot, (his second) at the Inter-State Championship, by virtue of his impressive win over Ron Garvin. The "Hands of Stone" landed but obviously DiPaolo didn't get the full effect, as he was able to kick out at two and a half! The stubborn Italian used leverage and skill to beat rugged Ronnie. After being the first to get up from a massive double clothesline, Ilio mustered up enough strength to defeat Garvin after his textbook AIRPLANE SPIN! Time: (8:47)
****GNW INTER-STATE CHAMPIONSHIP**** Tiger Conway Jr. scratched out an impressive 2024 so far, even defeating Blackjack Mulligan in the last INTER-STATE TITLE SHOT MATCH. But tonight ends in disappointment for the electrifying youngster! Newly crowned GNW I.S. Champion Kurt Angle made a human pretzel out of his over-zealous challenger. Angle easily countered Conway's offensive assaults and wore the young man down quickly. After a resounding German suplex, Kurt gets the pinfall victory with an OLYMPIC SLAM. Afterwards both men shake hands as the crowd applauds both men on their tremendous efforts. THE WINNER AND STILL GNW INTER-STATE CHAMPION---KURT ANGLE! Time:(9:58).
Brian Sager: Another excellent night of wrestling, thank you Minot for your hospitality! Great North heads home to MANKATO MINNESOTA for ON TOUR #232 live and in person at The Mankato Civic Center, 7pm APRIL 17TH! GOOD NIGHT FANS...TRAVEL HOME SAFELY WE WILL SEE YOU NEXT TIME with more GREAT NORTH WRESTLING, WHERE THE ACTION NEVER STOPS!!!

Yukon Eric and Yukon Moose Cholak (aka. YUKON GOLD) defeated THE MOONDOGS in tonight's tag-team feature. Spot and Rex were up to their devious tricks, but Eric and Moose literally squashed all their plans! Eric submits Spot after a lengthy and painful body-scissors! Time: (9:53). **

Angelo Mosca vs Jimmy Snuka (No DQ) These two have a true dislike for each other and have been bashing each other all over the territory! Tonight it was NO DISQUALIFICATION and it was epic.

Time: (13:10). 2.5*
