RESULTS!!! 1/3/2024 ********************************* GNW ON TOUR #198 Worthington H.S. Gym, Worthington, MN Attendance: 3,750 (SOLD-OUT) ****************************************** *FUNDRAISER: W.H.S. Student Computer Resource Room * ******************************************
GREAT NORTH WRESTLING opens up the new year with an action packed card in Worthington!
It was a successful debut for popular star Tito Santana, as he defeated Lord Alfred Hayes tonight in front of the SOLD-OUT Worthington crowd! Hayes gave Santana a bit of trouble in the early stages, but Santana was able to reverse his early mis-fortune, and pull out a hard earned victory. TITO uses a SMALL PACKAGE (on a reversal) to get the 1,2,3. Time: (8:22).
Meng and Hillbilly Jim battled in our second contest, a match of brutality (Meng), and raw strength (Hillbilly Jim)! In a real back and forth struggle the devious and violent MENG eventually gets the win via his TONGAN DEATH GRIP! Time: (9:23).
Bobby Duncum Sr. starts his new year out on a sour note, thanks to Tiger Conway Jr. Bobby pushed his size, weight and strength advantage and had Conway on his back several times in the match.Tiger (3 tokens) refuses to be pinned then rallies back! After whipping Duncum(2 tokens) into the turnbuckle, Tiger executes a BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX and gets the 3-count just before Duncum kicks out! An incensed Duncum took his anger out on Conway, attacking him from behind, then tossing him out onto the floor. Time: (9:47).
********INTERMISSION********
Two new tag-teams made their debut, as the Vachons (Mad Dog/Butcher) faced familiar foes (in a previous fed) The High-Flyers (Greg Gagne/Jim Brunzell)! These two teams dislike each other immensely, and this match was non-stop action from bell to bell. The crowd was heavily in favor of Gagne/Brunzell...but that didn't mean a hill of beans to the vicious Vachons! After being out-wrestled early, a quick double-team on Gagne gave the advantage to Mad Dog and The Butcher. They proceeded to stomp a mudhole in Gagne, keeping Brunzell outside the ring and frustrated. This one comes to an abrupt finish when Mad Dog PILEDRIVES Greg and gets the pin. They continued their assault on the downed High-flyer until Brunzell is able to get in and clear the ring, before checking on his partner. Time: (12:35).
This match barely gets started, before it ends, as JYD clashes with The Hammer, in front of a frenzied crowd. Valentine attacks JYD from behind as he made his ring entrance. They pummeled each other all way up to the ring, DOG headbutting Valentine and tossing him into the ring. The bell sounds and we are underway. It was short-lived though as soon both men were outside the ring battling on the floor ......AGAIN. As both men are trading heavy blows, the referee counts both men out! DOUBLE COUNTOUT. Time: (6:09).
***MAIN EVENT NO DISQUALIFICATION*** The Worthington H.S. Gymnasium shook to its very foundation, as Blackjack Mulligan and Big John Studd got it on in our MAIN-EVENT! It was an epic struggle between two of the biggest and toughest men in the sport. Each punch, stomp, chop and slam could be felt by the fans, even up in the nosebleed section. Mulligan was at his nastiest, and Studd was ornery as all get out as well. It wasn't pretty or scientific, but it was entertaining! Both men were bleeding as they fought outside the ring no less than 4 times. Mulligan bloodies Studd on a ringpost shot, Studd returns the favor, tossing the big cowboy head-on into the steel steps. After landing several heavy shots, Studd tosses Mulligan back into the ring, and goes in for the kill! He pins an exhausted Mulligan after two consecutive BACKBREAKERS! Time: (15:41).
Brian Sager: Thank you great Worthington fans, for inviting us to your town! On behalf of the PTO and the School Board, we thank you for generously giving to the students of this fine district. Great North Wrestling travels to Pocatello, Idaho next for a big HOLT ARENA show, Jan. 6th bell-time 7PM! This is Brian Sager saying GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY, from all of us at GREAT NORTH WRESTLING, WHERE THE ACTION NEVER STOPS!!!

RESULTS!!!! 1/6/24 ********************************* GNW ON TOUR #199 Holt Arena, Pocatello, Idaho Attendance: 9,678 ********************************** The weather was cold and frigid outside, but the wrestling action was hot inside the Holt Arena Saturday night in Pocatello!
Wilbur Snyder starts his 2024 campaign with a win in his ledger, as he defeated Al Perez. Snyder, a former GNW Inter-State champion, looked impressive as he out-wrestles Perez (3 tokens), using his vast scientific knowledge, and veteran experience. After a series of wear-down holds in the latter stages of the match, Snyder (1fatigue) gets Perez to submit, using his patented ABDOMINAL STRETCH. Time: (10:26).
HACKSAW DUGGAN stormed to the ring with the crowd cheering wildly in support......but BIG BILL MILLER wasn't intimidated in the least as the big man runs roughshod over and through a stunned Duggan! After a Duggan miscue (charging into a vacated corner), MILLER makes him pay! After an awesome display of power, Bill puts Hacksaw's shoulders to the mat for good using a POWERSLAM. Time: (9:39).
Coming off a very successful run in a Midwest federation, Paul Christy and Roger Kirby were hoping to make an impression (in their debut) here in Great North Wrestling. BUT former GNW World Tag-Team champions THE HEART-STOPPERS proved to be too much for "The Golden Boy" Christy and "Nature Boy" Roger Kirby. Ox Baker and Stan Stasiak took some early licks from Kirby and Christy....then flipped their nasty switches from LO to HIGH.....and the beatdown commenced. STASIAK does the honors putting KIRBY down with a HEART PUNCH, as BAKER delivers one to Christy as he tried to make the save. Time: (9:20).
**********INTERMISSION**********
The always tough Irishman Fit Finlay, bashed his way past The always dangerous Dan Severn (in his debut), in a real pier-sixer! This was a very physical match, both men absorbing a huge amount of punishment. FINLAY was able to avoid being pinned on 3 occasions, on his way to victory. After a skirmish on the outside, (dominated by Finlay).....SEVERN gets pinned in the middle of the ring , by a Finlay TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER. Time: (8:56).
Pocatello caught BUGSY FEVER, tonight inside the packed Holt Arena! Bugsy McGraw locked up in a real slugfest with Baron Von Raschke! The unorthodox McGraw used his antics and strength to confound the big German from start to finish in this entertaining match! After an offensive rally BUGSY pins Raschke after a JUMPING SPLASH! Time: (11:02).
**GNW INTER-STATE CHAMPIONSHIP** Current Inter-State Champion, Curt Hennig continues to keep a death-grip on the title as he wins again, this time turning back the challenge of Ray "The Crippler" Stevens in a wrestling classic ! Stevens (3 tokens) gave the young champion all he could handle, but the resilient HENNIG (2 tokens) was able to rise to the occasion! After kicking out of a Stevens PILEDRIVER, Hennig uses a series of aerial moves setting up Ray for the coup de gras a HENNIG PLEX ! Time: (15:44).
Brian Sager: That concludes another evening of wild and wooly GREAT NORTH WRESTLING action! Next up is GNW ON TOUR #200, from The Resch Center in GREEN BAY WI, 7PM on Jan. 10th. .....until then this is Brian Sager saying THINGS ARE HOT HERE IN THE GREAT NORTH, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE MATCHES. ..GOOD NIGHT FANS!

RESULTS!! 1/10/24 ********************************* GNW ON TOUR #200 The Resch Center Arena, Green Bay, Wisconsin Attendance: 9,775 ************************************************ Wrestling fans from all around the Green Bay area, gathered to burn off some mid-week stress by attending an epic card of Great North Wrestling action!
Manny Fernandez was the first winner of the evening as he thwarts the debut of the wiley Englishman Lord James Blears. Blears used trickery and shortcuts to gain the advantage early on, but that strategy backfires miserably. It only made the Ragin' Bull angry and mean! After a barrage of slams and a clothesline, Manny finished Blears with a FLYING BURRITO! Time: (8:47).
Ilio DiPaolo was electric tonight in Green Bay, as he wowed the huge crowd in attendance with a variety of holds and high impact maneuvers! The cagey SPUTNIK MONROE however still managed to pull out a victory from the jaws of defeat! After dropping ILIO throat-first on the ropes (no DQ), it was a Monroe NECKBREAKER that ends DiPaolo's evening in the Resch Center. Time: (10:14).
Jon Moxley believe it or not, takes "The Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan to task tonight in a violent and physical mat classic. As much punishment Moxley received from the frenzied Sullivan, he gave back in return 10-fold!. In a bloody and brutal melee, Moxley pins Kevin, after Sullivan botches a back drop attempt and Moxley hits his REBOUND LARIAT for the 1,2,3. Time: (9:36).
*******INTERMISSION******* THE BRITISH BULLDOGS, Davey Boy Smith and The Dynamite Kid, start their new year with a bang as they defeated Bepo/Geeto (The Mongols) in an enjoyable tag-team contest. It was back and forth, the entire way until the BULLDOGS found their groove! As Dynamite flies in the ring to cut off Bepo, Davey plants GEETO into the canvas, with a pinning FISHERMAN'S SUPLEX. Time: (11:28).
**GNW INTER-STATE TITLE SHOT MATCH** Former Inter-State Champion King Kong Mosca was confident of victory in Green Bay, but SGT. SLAUGHTER was on a mission as well! In a real slobber-knocker the tough soldier defeats the monster tonight in the Resch Arena! They battled mostly on the floor with every available weapon they could get their hands on, amazingly avoiding disqualification or countout! After one of these brawls THE SARGE tosses Mosca back into the ring and uses a COBRA CLUTCH to wear big Mosca down, then a backbreaker drop does the rest! Time: (10:49).
**GNW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE SHOT** As if the previous match wasn't enough the rowdy and hoarse Green Bay fans watched yet another epic struggle between STAN HANSEN and JERRY LAWLER with a shot at GNW WORLD Chanpion John Tolos in the balance. Hansen a former GNW WORLD champion was looking to get "his" belt back, but he'd have to beat "The King" first...This ring war raged back and forth, the momentum switching like a metronome on turbo speed. They fought, they wrestled, they bit, kicked gouged and scratched,to the delight of the screaming fans! After piledriving Hansen, LAWLER climbed up to the 2nd turnbuckle....then crashed a 2ND ROPE FIST DROP squarely on Stan's noggin...then covered him for the ref's 3-count! Time: (16:40).
Brian Sager: Another amazing night of professional wrestling action! Thank you great fans for coming out on this cold and frosty Wisconsin evening! GNW ON TOUR appears next in Detroit Michigan's Little Caesars Arena for ON TOUR #201 JAN. 13TH!
