RESULTS!!!!! 1/7/2023 ********************************* GNW ON TOUR (96) Wells Fargo Arena, Des Moines, IA ATTENDANCE: 9,954 ****************************************** The first title change of the new year, happens in Des Moines!!!!.....what a card chock-full of the action you demand from Great North Wrestling.......
Mr. Saito in his debut, pulls out a victory over the always tough, and underrated Tony Marino. After a good back and forth match, Saito uses a ORIENTAL LEG SWEEP + MIDDLE ROPE KNEE DROP, and gets the 1....2....3. Time: 10:47
What this matched lacked in "polished" wrestling, it made up for in physical brutality. The Crusher and Adrian Adonis left it all in the ring. You could hear the chops and punches, even over the roar of the crowd!...after a CRUSHER BOLO fails to pin Adrian, the Crusher slaps on his CRUSHER NELSON....and Adonis after an extended amount of time, reluctantly submits..Time: 11:13.
The Rock-n-Roll Express win via the back door, in their match with the Koloffs (in their debut) IVAN/NIKITA. The big Russians had their way with Morton and Gibson. ...but just couldn't get a clean pin. All four men end up on the floor where IVAN gets disqualified for using a chair on Gibson. ...the Russians continue the carnage and leave the "winners" lying in a heap on the floor. Time: 8:00 (DUD).
*******INTERMISSION*******
AFTER the potty-break and or BEER RUN...the action heated back up with Tracy Smothers taking on top 10 contender Tully Blanchard. In an even move for move contest, this was as good as it gets. Unfortunately the edge in shady behavior, of course, went to Blanchard. After several "questionable" shortcuts, Tully (3 tokens) uses his SLING-SHOT SUPLEX (and a pull of the trunks) on a weary Smothers (3 tokens)....for the pin. Time: 15:46.
****GNW INTER-STATE TITLE SHOT**** In another very good match, Muraco and Wrestling II battle for a shot at I.S. champion RODDY PIPER. Both men being former I.S. Champions themselves, knew the stakes were high. Muraco used his size and strength advantage to wear down II. But the clever Wrestling II countered with his unique escape abilities and wrestling knowledge. After a brief offensive burst late in the match Wrestling II catches Muraco with a dead-on MILLION DOLLAR KNEE LIFT......for the win and the date with Piper. Time: 16:32.
**GNW WORLD TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP** In a weird alternate reality scenario for Jim Cornette and his Midnight Express (being CHEERED)...the Express dethroned THE HEART-STOPPERS (Baker/Stasiak) as the crowd went wild. Eaton and Condrey showed their consumate double-teaming skills on the former Champions. They negated the HEART-STOPPERS strength and size with fast tags and precise double teams. Baker and Stasiak looked a bit tired and slow tonight, but that is no excuse in wrestling. In the end the Express pins Stasiak after the ROCKET LAUNCHER, when Baker fails to make the pin save. Time: 13:56.
Brian Sager: Another great night of GNW action!!!....congratulations to The Midnight Express!!!!.....the NEW GREAT NORTH WRESTLING TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!...next GNW heads to the AMSOIL ARENA in Duluth, Minnesota for ON TOUR (97) on 1/10/2023...bell-time 7PM.....Good night from Des Moines. ....THINGS ARE HOT HERE IN THE GREAT NORTH, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE MATCHES!!!!!

Really, you couldn't ask for a better scenario for a Koloffs debut against the RnR. Ricky and Robert get the technical win but the Koloffs administer the beat down. Nobody loses anything and the stakes have been instantly established: the Koloffs aren't just trying to win, they're here to crush the American spirit.

RESULTS!!!!!! 1/10/2023 ********************************* GNW ON TOUR (97) The AMSOIL Arena, Duluth, Minnesota ATTENDANCE: 7,389 ******************************************* It was a terrific Tuesday of wrestling action in The AMSOIL Arena in Duluth!!!
The Boogie Woogie Man started the night off with a solid win over young Tom Prichard. Prichard makes a terrific showing but, Valiant was dialed in for victory. He avoids a Prichard dropkick, then nails the downed Tom with a BOOGIE WOOGIE ELBOW. Time: 11:08.
Austin Idol and The Super Destroyer waged war in Duluth!....Both men were at their physical best and traded blows, kicks and matched each other move for move. At one point Super D charges the turnbuckle, and leaps, but Austin vacates in the nick of time. SD's knee is injured, and Idol went to work on it. Eventually Super Destroyer submits to Austin's LAS VEGAS LEGLOCK. Time: 14:21.
The "Mormon Giant" made his presence in GNW known by dismantling rugged veteran WAHOO MCDANIEL in grandiose fashion. Don Leo Jonathan quickly dispatches McDaniel after a short beatdown, pinning Wahoo with a ROLLING BACKSPLASH! Time: 8:00 (DUD).
******INTERMISSION*******
Ray Stevens entered the ring with victory on his mind for his GNW debut. Unfortunately Barry Windham had other ideas. The "Crippler" tried everything legal and illegal in his arsenal, but Windham took it all and dished it right back. Windham (4 tokens) seemed to be about ripe for pinning, but ducks a clothesline from Stevens (3 tokens)....and locks on a SLEEPER for the win! Time: 15:33.
***WORLD TITLE SHOT MATCH*** Tonight Superstar Billy Graham laid claim to another shot at the top of the GNW mountain, with his victory over Dick Murdoch in Duluth. The former World Champion (Graham) was tested by top the 10 contender and respected "Tough Guy" from Texas. As the crowd spurred these two on, it was a brutal and physical tour de force by both competitors. In the end Graham slams Murdoch outside on the floor (no DQ)...injuring Dick's back....shortly thereafter Superstar uses his BEARHUG, and Murdoch gives up. Time: 11:36.
****GNW INTER-STATE CHAMPIONSHIP**** Roddy Piper is STILL the reigning Great North Wrestling Inter-State Champion! He successfully defends the belt against the formidable challenge of Mr. Wrestling II. Wrestling II, controlled the early action and nearly pins Piper with a sunset-flip. Piper powdered out of the ring , to regroup and slow II's momentum. After an eye rake, and a thumb to the throat, the match swung in Roddy's favor. Soon Piper was unloading huge amounts of pain and anguish on his opponent. Wrestling II only makes a weak attempt to rally back. Piper locks on his SLEEPER....and it was "Lights Out" for the masked veteran. Time: 17:41.
Brian Sager: How about that wrestling fans!!!....thank you so much Duluth for inviting us back here! Next up is GNW ON TOUR (98) , January 14, 7PM from the iconic Helena Civic Center, Helena Montana, bell-time 7pm. Good night. ....THINGS ARE HOT HERE IN THE GREAT NORTH, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE MATCHES!!!!!
