RESULTS!!!! 5-7-2023 ********************************* GNW ON TOUR #135 AMSOIL ARENA, Duluth, Minnesota ATTENDANCE: 7,143 ************************************* The Amsoil Arena was rocking tonight with a great night of GREAT NORTH WRESTLING!!!
The Dirty White Boy, Tony Anthony was victorious over THE BOOGIE WOOGIE MAN, Jimmy Valiant! This was a physical and exciting opening match. Valiant with the crowd clearly in his corner, started out like a house on fire! He was bringing the pain, until DWB decided to bail, and Valiant followed him. On the outside, Anthony used the guard rail to his advantage (no DQ), dropping Jimmy throat-first on it. Then he threw the gasping Valiant into the steel steps! After barely beating the ten-count back into the ring, Anthony finishes a gassed BWM with a FALLING FRONT SLAM. Time: (10:10).
Adrian Adonis easily defeats his opponent, Brian Adias. He took his time doing it, even pulling Brian off the canvas twice negating the 3-count. ADONIS angered the crowd as he played with Adias like a cat toys with a mouse. Finally he uses GOODNIGHT IRENE to end Brian's suffering. Time: (12:07) (DUD).
In a hard fought tag-team battle The British Bulldogs take down Ole and Gene Anderson in an epic contest! Both teams hammered each other back and forth throughout this competitive bruhaha! Davey Boy Smith was isolated early from his partner and took a beating. After finally tagging The Dynamite Kid, things turned for the Bulldogs. They were able, to tag out, keepng fresh the rest of the match, and double-teamed both of the Anderson brothers effectively. In the end the Bulldogs pin Gene after a devastating TOWER OF LONDON! BULLDOGS (2 tokens), MN WRECKING CREW (3 tokens) Time: (14:49).
**********INTERMISSION**********
Arn Anderson and Wahoo McDaniel started off the second portion of the card, with a war! The dislike these two have for each other permeated the entire arena! It was brutal and the crowd loved it!. After Arn careens headfirst into an empty corner, Wahoo levels him with a RUNNING SHOULDER TACKLE for the 1....2.....3! Time: (9:56).
**GNW INTER-STATE TITLE SHOT MATCH** The Crusher gets a shot at the Inter-State Title with a rousing victory over former I.S. champion Austin Idol! The Crusher brawled his way through Idol, despite all of Austin's antics and devious tactics. It took 2 CRUSHER BOLOS to put Idol to the mat for good. Time: (10:31).
****GNW INTER-STATE CHAMPIONSHIP***** Newly crowned INTER-STATE CHAMPION, Angelo Mosca successfully defends his title (2nd defense). The Great Muta didn't make it easy for King Kong tonight in Duluth! The agile Asian early on, made Mosca look foolish and slow. Chops, kicks, flips everything Muta tried seemed to work. Finally an enraged Mosca turns the tide with sheer brutality! He just beats the hell out of Muta for nearly 8 minutes! Muta mounts a comeback, but falls short when Mosca catches Muta diving out of the corner, powerslams him, then goes for the cover. After barely kicking out of the pin attempt, Muta finally submits to the MOSCA SLEEPER. Time: (16:20).
Brian Sager: Another great night of action wraps up here in Duluth, thank all you great fans for coming out tonight, drive home safely...GREAT NORTH WRESTLING heads to The Rough Rider Center in Watford City, North Dakota, for GNW ON TOUR #136, a fundraiser for the Watford City H.S.

I'd like to say that Jack Brisco will get his heart punched, but I'd probably be wrong. He's one tough SOB(Son Of a Brisco)!

RESULTS!!! 5-10-23 ********************************** GNW ON TOUR #136 7PM Rough Rider Center, Watford City, North Dakota ATTENDANCE: 3,200 (SOLD-OUT) ************************************************ It was jammed to the rafters, as Watford City and the surrounding area came out to support Watford City High School's boys and girls HOCKEY, with a great night of GNW action!!
Stan Stasiak blasted his way past fan favorite, The Mighty Igor. Igor was able to control things early with his awesome strength. But the crafty Stasiak was able to pull out the victory. After nearly submitting to Igor's BEARHUG, Stan mounts an offensive, using a barrage of fists, and then his crippling HEART PUNCH to down the Polish powerhouse! Time: (10:05).
Paul Orndorff and Iceman Parsons put on an entertaining match, in front of the appreciative sold out Watford City crowd. Back and forth these two went move for move. In the end it was Orndorff getting the win with his PILEDRIVER doing the honors. Time: (12:11).
The O.G.REGULATORS remain unbeaten (2-0-1) as they bested Red Berry's Fabulous Kangaroos (Costello/Heffernan). It wasn't easy but the rough and tumble cowboys (Watts/Ellis) get the job done. As Ellis charges to stop Heffernan, Watts uses his OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE to pin a weary Al Costello. Afterwards Red Berry interjected himself into the situation...and dined on the knuckles of Cowboy Bob Ellis, for his troubles. Time: (12:57). O.G Reg. 2 tokens,ROOS 3).
*****INTERMISSION*****
Ox Baker was his usual cantankerous self, but that didn't deter Jack Brisco from whipping his tail tonight in front of the roaring Watford City faithful! Baker clubbed and stomped, but Brisco was able to overcome all the obstacles put in his way tonight, submitting Ox with his FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK, rather quickly too! Time: (8:00) (DUD).
Diamond Dallas Page did his best to defeat Tully Blanchard, but it just wasn't his night. In a gritty and exciting match Blanchard comes out with a hard earned victory over the "former" Inter-State Champion DDP. Tully evades the DIAMOND CUTTER, not once.... but twice! After striking Page with a foreign object (no DQ), Tully uses his SLING-SHOT SUPLEX for the 1,2,3! Time: (14:57).
****NO DQ Falls Count ANYWHERE**** THERE are plenty of big, tough men in Great North Wrestling. ...but none are bigger than the two behemoths who collided in Watford City's MAIN-EVENT!!! DON LEO JONATHAN and ANDRE THE GIANT! It was a slobber-knocker of the highest order, and these two left it all in the arena. DLJ, even used his MORMON SWING out on the floor, but ANDRE somehow manages to kick out!! The battle raged all over the confines of the arena. ANDRE after smashing Jonathan repeatedly with a garbage can, pins The Mormon Giant on the floor outside the Men's Room with a SIT-DOWN SPLASH! Time: (17:46).
Mean Gene: Watford City, thank you so much for having us, we hope you enjoyed all of tonight's action! It was our pleasure to help the High School hockey teams get their new uniforms and equipment.

RESULTS!!! 5/15/23 ********************************* GNW ON TOUR #138 The OSHKOSH Arena, Oshkosh, WI ATTENDANCE: 8,815 ************************************ GNW received a huge Welcome Back from the great wrestling fans of Oshkosh, Wisconsin!!
Al Perez had a solid match in a victory over Hugh Morrus. Morrus had things going his way early, with a pin attempt on Al following an early POWERBOMB, but the gutsy Perez managed to get a foot on the ropes. Perez seemed to get better as the match continued, and Morrus began to tire somewhat. After taking Hugh to the mat and working the left leg, Perez's SPINNING TOE-HOLD eventually makes Morrus give up. Time: (11:27).
The Big Boss Man let his temper get the best of him in his singles debut against young Brad Armstrong! After doleing out a fair amount of punishment, the Boss Man was still unable to put Brad's shoulders to the canvas. He tosses Armstrong out onto the floor and continues to maul the youngster. He carries it a bit too far and Boss Man is disqualified when he puts Armstong through a table! Time: (9:44) (DUD).
The B&B DESTRUCTION CO. has arrived in Great North Wrestling!! Bad News/Brickhouse destroyed the Batten Twins in Oshkosh. This nasty new team beat the Battens nonstop from pillar to post. BRICKHOUSE used a back elbow smash to down Bart, while BAD NEWS used his GHETTO BLASTER to pin an unconscious Brad! Time: (6:00) (DUD).
*********INTERMISSION*********
The fans embraced "Capt. Redneck" Dick Murdoch as he got the better of The Super Destroyer! They cheered the big Texan on to a hard fought victory! Murdoch (3 tokens) looked like he was "toast" on several occasions, but Super D just couldn't put him away. Finally after taking things over after an outside of the ring melee, Murdoch uses his BRAINBUSTER to pin his masked opponent in the center of the ring. Time: (13:40).
Barry Windham (who faces Stan Hansen at MEMORIAL MAYHEM 2 in a LARIAT finisher match), kept himself sharp and used his LARIAT to defeat a game Terry Gordy. The big BAMM BAMM wasn't an easy win for Barry. After a couple of well-placed dropkicks to soften Gordy (3 tokens) up, Windham (2 fatigue) nearly takes his head off with the LARIAT for the 1,2,3! Time: (14:33).
**GNW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH** EVERY title defense since he recaptured the gold, has been a war for JOHNNY VALENTINE. Tonight was no exception as it was Roddy Piper's chance once more to attempt to dethrone the GNW CHAMP. It was brutal....it was at times even savage, the way these two to "rained" the violence down on one another. In the end a bloody VALENTINE still manages to hold onto the belt. He gets the job done with a vicious FOREARM HAMMER to the back of Piper's head, followed by an ATOMIC SKULLCRUSHER!! (Piper 3 tokens, Valentine 3). Next up for JOHNNY is his MEMORIAL MAYHEM 2 confrontation with FREDDIE BLASSIE! Time: (20:15).
Brian Sager: It was excitement-plus tonight in Oshkosh, we hope you fans enjoyed as much as I did! We promise not to stay away as long as we did this time!

RESULTS!!! 5/18/23 *********************************** GNW ON TOUR #139 The TACOMA-DOME, Tacoma, WA ATTENDANCE: 11,379 *********************************** As GNW continues to roll towards GNW MEMORIAL MAYHEM 2, on May 29th in Detroit, Michigan....they made a stop in Tacoma for a spectacular 6 match card!
Scott Casey tamed " The Wild Bull of the Pampas" Pampero Firpo. In a gutsy comeback, (he was nearly pinned 3 times), Scott manages to execute a timely BULLDOG for a quick pin! Firpo enraged, attacks Casey before leaving the ringside area. Time: (12:48)
In a classic match up of two veterans Jimmy Valiant "Boogie Woogies" out of the TACOMA-DOME with a hard earned victory over Ray "The Crippler" Stevens. In a back and forth affair, Valiant manages to kick out of a pin, after a devastating Double Underhook Suplex from Stevens. With the pro "Boogie Woogie" crowd powering him on, Jimmy puts RAY down for the count, after a RUNNING CLOTHESLINE, and a SLEEPER! Time: (10:36).
Jackie Fargo wasted no time dismantling his opponent THE TROOPER! FARGO was firing on all cylinders from the opening bell, much to The Trooper's chagrin. Jackie gets the 1,2,3 after several rights and lefts, coupled with his signature ATOMIC DROP. Time: (5:09) (DUD)
***********INTERMISSION*********** IN a visceral display of power and brutality, OX BAKER and STAN STASIAK (aka. The Heart-Stoppers)...notched an impressive win over The Rock-n-Roll Express!!! Proving they belong in the 4-Team title shot tournament at GNW MEMORIAL MAYHEM 2. Usually Morton/Gibson provide stiff competition whenever they are in the ring. This time not so much....Baker and Stasiak were on point, and able to turn back any resistance aimed their way by THE EXPRESS. Eventually Ox pins Gibson after a RUNNING ELBOW SMASH/LEG DROP combo. Time: (12:11).
Ed "Strangler" Lewis is the winner over BARON VON RASCHKE in a somewhat short but still contentious match in front of an approving Tacoma crowd. Raschke attacks early looking for a quick win, but Lewis had ideas of his own. After quashing the German's bid for victory, Lewis quickly slaps on his STRANGLER'S HEADLOCK, and The Baron is forced to submit. Time: (8:07) (DUD).
***GNW INTER-STATE TITLE SHOT MATCH*** Muraco and Rocca waged war for an I.S. Title Shot at MEMORIAL MAYHEM 2! In a tense and physical MAIN-EVENT that had the crowd roaring, ANTONINO ROCCA is the victor in this one! He manages to escape the THE HAWAIIAN HAMMER and THE ASIATIC SPIKE on his way to the winner's circle. He manages to subdue "The Magnificent One", after a series of dropkicks and a FLYING HEAD SCISSORS! Time: (16:51).
Brian Sager: Another great night of GNW action here in Tacoma! Next up is GNW ON TOUR #140, taking place on MAY 20th, from the Sioux Falls Convention Center, in Sioux Falls, SD. ...until then SO LONG FANS, THINGS ARE HOT HERE IN THE GREAT NORTH, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE MATCHES!!!!
