RESULTS!!!! 3/13/2023 ********************************* GNW ON TOUR #119 The WINGS Event Center, Kalamazoo, MI ATTENDANCE: 6,300 (SOLD-OUT). ****************************************** Here are the results from another awesome card of Great North Wrestling matches in Kalamazoo!
Mr. Fuji proved to be too much for Cowboy Scott Casey in the opening match. The veteran from the Orient, used some crafty chops and kicks, along with a few "cheats", to dissect Mr. Casey tonight in Kalamazoo. Fuji gets Scott to surrender after a prolonged FUJI NERVE GRIP. Time: (11:15). Stan Hansen wasted no time tonight, as he entered the ring like a big ol' TEXAS TORNADO...and flattened Tracy Smothers! Hansen made short work of his young opponent never breaking stride or slowing his tempo! He pins Tracy's back to the canvas after a reverberating POWERBOMB. Time: (5:00) (DUD).
Brad Armstrong made a pretty good accounting of himself, but still comes up short against Rowdy Roddy Piper. Piper was his usual sneering, ego-filled self, and used his wits to eventually defeat a very game Armstrong. After taking advantage outside the ring, The "Rowdy One" uses his trusty SLEEPER and gets the win. Time: (13:04).
**********INTERMISSION**********
In a tag-team classic, the Fantastics pull out a much needed win over The Rock-n-Roll Express! Both teams "wowed" the crowd in this one with a clean match , full of quick tags and high-flying double-team action. In the end Rogers and Fulton keep Gibson from tagging out and pin him after a FULL PRESS SLAM + SPLASH double-team finisher. Both teams shook hands afterwards, in a very classy gesture of mutual respect. Time (15:21).
Arn Anderson look nigh unbeatable tonight as he defeats Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant, in an entertaining match! Of course Valiant didn't just lie down for Arn, and gave "Double A" all he could handle! Finally after a few stiff forearms upside Valiant's noggin, gave Arn the window of opportunity he needed to use his GOURDBUSTER on the fan favorite. Valiant (4,tokens), Anderson (1,fatigue). Time: (11:49).
**NON-TITLE ........NO DISQUALIFICATION** GNW WORLD CHAMPION Dusty Rhodes and Superstar Billy Graham bring down the house tonight in Kalamazoo! This match had it all! Both men were determined to bend the other man to their will! Outside and inside they made war, both men were bleeding before it was over. Graham nearly makes Rhodes pass-out using his FULL-NELSON, but somehow Dusty managed to break it and keep on fighting. "Big Dust" gets the hard fought win after giving Graham a PILEDRIVER on the floor, and then tossing him in the ring for an ELBOW DROP and the cover, for the 1..2..3! Time: (20:38).
Brian Sager: Another great card comes to a close....next up is GNW ON TOUR #120 from the UW-MILWAUKEE PANTHER ARENA on March 16th....we are just 18 days away from GNW THAW BRAWL 2, our next big PPV EVENT, live from the Xcel Energy Center in St.Paul, Minnesota be sure to get those tickets...they are almost gone!.........THINGS ARE HOT HERE IN THE GREAT NORTH, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE MATCHES. ......GOOD NIGHT FANS!!!

RESULTS!!!!! 3/16/2023 ********************************* GNW ON TOUR #120 UW-Milw. Panther Arena, Milwaukee,WI ATTENDANCE: 10,377 ***************************************** UW-Milwaukee's Panther Arena was the latest stop for GREAT NORTH WRESTLING......and what a night of action was witnessed by the great fans of Milwaukee!!
Tom Prichard tangled with Mr. Saito in a very good match to start off the festivities in Milwaukee. In a back and forth match, Prichard made quite the impression on the veteran from Japan. In fact Tom frustrated Saito so much that he got disqualified for refusing to release a choke hold! Time: (11:31).
Our second contest featured two hard-nosed ring warriors, Nikolai Volkoff and Dirty Dick Murdoch. After using his fists to dominate most of this physical confrontation, Murdoch somehow manages to lose to the big Russian. In the blink of an eye, Nikolai catches a charging Murdoch, and gets a the pin after a THROAT DROP ON THE ROPES. Time: (9:18).
In another highly competitive match, Antonino Rocca wins, despite a gritty and determined effort put forth by Hugh Morrus. Morrus (3 tokens) managed to nearly defeat Rocca (1 token) after using his NO JOKE, but Rocca manages a kick-out at 2 and a half. Rocca's superior conditioning earns him the win. He wears down his bigger opponent and gets the 1,2,3....with a ROLL UP after a series of DROPKICKS. Time: (13:59).
*******INTERMISSION******* The Brothers Anderson (Ole/Gene) bested the team of Paul Orndorff and Terry Gordy. It wasn't an easy win for The Minnesota Wrecking Crew, but a win it was! Orndorff and Gordy's power was on full display, and the crowd was into it big time. In the end though the teamwork of the Andersons was the difference. After punishing Gordy and taking him out of the equation, (tossing him out to the floor)...they used Orndorff's temper to their advantage.... after Paul charges in with a head of steam, they pin Mr. Wonderful after an illegal (unseen by ref) double-team. Time: (15:29).
***GNW INTER-STATE TITLE SHOT*** Freddie Blassie and Dory Funk Jr., were set to square off with a title shot on the line. But they decided it was more fun to beat the hell out of one another. In a slugfest....that ended up with a double disqualification, these two ended up trading chair-shots out on the floor! Time: (7:00) (DUD).
****6-MAN TAG-TEAM MAIN EVENT ***** (Blackjacks Mulligan/Lanza + Barry Windham) (Heart-Stoppers Baker/Stasiak + DLJ) It was an epic confrontation that rocked the arena from end to end! Both teams pounded away at each other the entire match. Mulligan nearly submits Stasiak with his BLACK GLOVE CLAW...but Ox Baker made the save just in time! BAKER got a 2.5 count on Lanza after a HEART PUNCH (Windham makes the save). With Lanza/Stasiak fighting outside the ring, and Mulligan/Baker trading blows inside the ring, DON LEO JONATHAN pins Windham(legal men) after a MORMON SWING! Time: (18:44).
Brian Sager: Thanks for coming great fans of MILWAUKEE. ...we will be back again very, very soon! GNW travels next to the TYSON EVENTS CENTER in Sioux City, IA for Great North Wrestling on Tour (121) 7pm on MARCH 19TH.

RESULTS!!! 3/19/2023 ********************************* GNW ON TOUR #121 The Tyson Events Center, Sioux City, IA ATTENDANCE: 9,301 ****************************************** As Great North Wrestling continues its March towards GNW THAW BRAWL 2023, April 1st, 4pm from the Xcel Energy Center in St Paul, ON TOUR makes a stop in Iowa!!!!
In the "Battle of the Claws" tonight belonged to Baron Von Raschke as he triumphs over Blackjack Lanza! The big German took his lumps from Lanza, and prevailed with his BRAIN CLAW stopping the big cowboy. Time: (10:21).
Ox Baker was unleashed in Sioux City! The 2022 GNW "Wrestler of the Year", picks up the "W" in a physical head to head slobber-knocker against Bob Orton Sr. In a back and forth BRAWL, Baker (1 fatigue) gets the pin when a devastating HEART PUNCH drops Orton (2 fatigue)dead in his tracks. Time: (9:53).
Mr. Wrestling II and his partner Scott Casey, suffered a terrible beating tonight, at the hands of THE LEGION OF DOOM! Hawk and Animal (under the guidance of Paul Ellering), took the fight to their opponents and never let up! After double-teaming Wrestling II and incapacitating him, they turned their attention to Scott....The Road Warriors use a DOOMSDAY DEVICE to obliterate Casey. Time: (8:00) (DUD).
The Destroyer gets a hard fought victory over Blackjack Mulligan in quite an entertaining match up. The masked man used holds and a strong ground game to keep the much larger Mulligan on the mat, and un-effective. Mulligan doesn't go down easy, but go down he does, and eventually submits to The Destroyer's FIGURE FOUR. Time: (13:04).
*******INTERMISSION*******
Barry Windham locks up with Col. Debeers in a dandy of a match. Debeers comes out fighting, and really tests Windham in this one. At one point the Big South African nearly pins Barry after a PILEDRIVER. Windham (2 tokens) manages to kick out (barely), then fights his way to victory, with the huge crowd cheering him on! He pummels the Colonel with right hands, and after a series of dropkicks, he levels Debeers with a LARIAT for the 1,2,3. Time: (12:26).
***NON-TITLE SEMI-MAIN EVENT*** Inter-State Champion Austin Idol knew he'd be tested tonight when he faced "The Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff, and was he ever. Ivan (with Nikita ringside) jumped on Idol early, tosses him out onto the floor where Nikita puts the boots to the champ but good. Austin is overwhelmed by both of the Russians, who only wanted to hurt him in this NON-TITLE match. The ref disqualifies IVAN, but they continued pounding on Idol. Finally security manages to intervene and the Russians go to the back, the crowd tossing debris at them. Time: (7:00) Idol wins by DQ. (DUD).
***HANDICAP MAIN EVENT*** ANDRE was in the house, and he was victorious over the team of Pampero Firpo and The Cuban Assassin. The evil duo did their best to slow down the GIANT, but he manhandles them.....and makes them suffer! Slams, leg drops....bearhugs...he was unstoppable. ...after avalanching both men the corner, he BIG SPLASHES both men, then piles them on top of one another and gets the pinfall on them both! Time: (14:55).
Brian Sager: That wraps up this magnificent card tonight in Sioux City! Great North Wrestling travels next to The Monument Arena in Rapid City SD, on March 23rd for ON TOUR #122....THINGS ARE HOT HERE IN THE GREAT NORTH, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE MATCHES!!!

Iceman King Parsons gets the better of Stan "The Man" Stasiak in our first match. Despite taking a fair amount of punishment from Stan, Parsons ducks a HEART PUNCH, and catches his opponent with a BUTT BUTT for the pin. Time: (9:47).
Don Muraco defeats Mr. Wrestling II in a fairly competitive confrontation. Both II (2 fatigue) and The Magnificent One (2 fatigue), had early chances to end the match. While going toe-toe with closed fists....Muraco rakes the masked man's eyes then delivers an ASIATIC SPIKE that crumples Wrestling II to the mat, and the pin follows. Time: (10:56).
Ray Stevens puts a hurtin' on Dutch Mantell, tonight in front of the rowdy fans in attendance. Stevens took plenty of shortcuts to slow Mantell down (avoiding disqualification)..then he puts Dutch's shoulders to the canvas after a well executed DOUBLE UNDERHOOK SUPLEX. Time: (10:31).
*******INTERMISSION*******
Red Berry's Fabulous Kangaroos (Costello/Heffernan) looked impressive as they get the victory over Los Vaqueros (Chavo Sr./Hector Guerrero )...in our first tag-team tussle of the evening. Back and forth the momentum went, until Hector takes a nasty spill over the top-rope to the floor. After that, the Aussie duo took control, and Heffernan pins Hector with his TIGER SUPLEX, as Costello cuts off Chavo's attempt at a pin save. Time: (15:02).
**WORLD TITLE SHOT MATCH** It was a reunion of sorts in this one, as one of the biggest feuds of 2022 re-kindles, with former World Champion Johnny Valentine taking on ROWDY RODDY PIPER! This one was wild and crazy from bell to bell! Physical, brawling mixed with great wrestling, and the big winners were the FANS! Valentine however outlasts Piper and punches his ticket to take on World Champion Dusty Rhodes at THAW BRAWL,2 on April 1st. He delivers 2 ATOMIC SKULLCRUSHERS to finally pin the stubborn Scotsman. Time: (19:31).
*GNW WORLD TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP* Tag-team Champions, Scott and Rick Steiner (in their last title defense before GNW THAW BRAWL 2), had little trouble turning back their challengers The GeSTOMPo (Raschke/Krupp) tonight inside the Monument Arena. The brothers were too quick, and agile for the brutish Germans in this one. Raschke and Krupp were rattled by the speed and high impact Steiner assault! In the end Rick pins Killer Karl Krupp with a BELLY TO BELLY, as Scott dropkicks a charging Baron (pin-save), over the top-rope!. Time: (12:39).
Mean Gene Okerlund: WOW....is all I can say....what a great night of wrestling from Rapid City!!!...GNW's SOLD-OUT THAW BRAWL 2...is now only 8 days away....but we have one more stop to make before then..........GNW ON TOUR (123) takes place on March 27th, from The Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Madison WI, bell-time 7pm!
