RESULTS!! 1/13/24 ********************************* GNW ON TOUR #201 Little Caesars Arena, Detroit, Michigan ATTENDANCE: 10,328 **************************************** It was ACTION! ACTION! inside the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit , Michigan Saturday night as Great North Wrestling came to the "Motor City"!
The Great Malenko held out on the dirty tactics as long as he could in his opening match against Pepper Gomez! These men wrestled neck and neck as the crowd watched on in approval. In the latter stages, however a frustrated Malenko tried to cheat his way to the victory! The stubborn Gomez decided to oblige Malenko with some shortcuts of his own, and the crowd roared its approval. This one goes the distance as the bell rings with both men trading fists in the center of the ring. TIME LIMIT DRAW (15:00).
It was THE MOONDOGS getting the win in tonight's tag-team feature, over the largest team currently here in Great North Wrestling YUKON GOLD (Yukon Eric/Moose Cholak). Moose and Eric's superior size and strength dominated the match, and the Moondogs struggled for the most part. In the end after a 4-man fracas in the ring SPOT konks CHOLAK in the head with THE BONE (no DQ) and pins him, as Rex keeps Yukon Eric too busy to make the save. Time: (9:12).
Rocky Johnson had a fairly easy go of it as he defeated Frenchy Martin (debut). Martin was quick to go the illegal route, but the popular Johnson was just too much for FRENCHY to handle tonight in Detroit. After a series of dropkicks, Rocky pins Martin with an impressive FLYING BODY PRESS! Time: (7:48).
********INTERMISSION********
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST, in Detroit as The JUNKYARD DOG wins over the big bad Barbarian, John NORD! Nord was unhinged (as is his way) and he took it to JYD right from the opening bell, nearly pinning him after a POWERSLAM! JYD (2 fatigue) manages to kick out, but still received quite the beating from Nord. After the two men inadvertently crash heads, the DOG was first to his feet, and mounted a huge comeback! With the fans behind him, he finally puts The Barbarian (3 tokens) down for good with his BIG THUMP. Time: (8:58).
Oh it's true, it's DAMN true, Kurt Angle has arrived here in Great North Wrestling! The Olympic superstar wins in his debut over a fellow Olympic standout strongman KEN PATERA! In this highly competitive and physical match it was agility that bested brawn. Angle makes Patera submit with a textbook ANKLE LOCK. Time: (10:23).
***GNW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP*** Tonight's Main-Event event did not disappoint, as GNW WORLD CHAMPION John Tolos (his first defense of 2024) was truly tested by challenger Jerry "The King" Lawler! It was physical and it was a real brawling affair as well! Both men dealt the other massive amounts of punishment and PAIN. The ring veterans warred on the floor as well as in the squared circle. After over 20 solid minutes of back and forth action, Tolos catches Lawler with his Corkscrew, out of nowhere for the 1,2,3! In a show of despicable sportsmanship, Tolos put the boots to Lawler, then tosses him out onto the floor, before grabbing the title belt and exiting. Time: (21:46).
MEAN GENE: Loads of terrific action here in Detroit tonight! We thank all you wonderful fans for coming out this evening, please travel safely home tonight! Great North Wrestling will be at The Armory, in Minneapolis, Minnesota next....for ON TOUR #202....bell-time 7PM on Tuesday January 16th! Until then SO LONG from Detroit from all of us here at Great North Wrestling, WHERE THE ACTION NEVER STOPS!!!

RESULTS! GNW ON TOUR #202 *************************************** 1/16/2024 The Armory, Minneapolis, Minnesota Attendance: 8,643 *************************************** Here are the results from this tremendous card in Minneapolis!!!!
The self-proclaimed "Working Man's Team", Al and Don Greene were all business and no play, in their match against The GUNNslingers, Billy and Bart Gunn. In an efficient and effective display of teamwork, the Greenes kept the explosive GUNNS, on the defensive and on the mat. After a sound all-around beating of both Billy and Bart, AL does the honors pinning Bart after a DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE. Time: (9:51).
Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka took the Armory by storm tonight, with a solid win over a cocky and overconfident Val Venis! After Val fails to humiliate Snuka verbally, the Superfly explodes with a very physical rebuttal! He manhandled Venis nearly the entire fracas (except for one brief offensive from Val) , then took to the rafters, pinning Venis with a spectacular SUPERFLY LEAP!!!. Time: (7:41).
In a good old-fashioned, tooth and nail, down and dirty dogfight, Hercules Ayala survives a physical confrontation against the always tough Dirty Dick Murdoch! The crowd was into this one, from bell to bell and it was epic! Murdoch took Herc outside the ring for more than one brutal beatdown, but Ayala would not yield! After a huge in-ring comeback by Ayala (where he worked heavily on Murdoch's left leg) HERCULES gets the mean old Texan to submit after a prolonged FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK. Time: (11:10).
*********INTERMISSION*********
Just back from his year-long banishment from GREAT NORTH WRESTLING, the ever popular BOBO BRAZIL triumphs over Chris Colt tonight in The Armory! Colt tried, but a stoked Brazil was going to make sure his first match back was a WIN! After a dominating preformance over his out-matched opponent, Brazil uses his COCO BUTT and knocks COLT out cold! Time: (7:29).
***GNW INTER-STATE CHAMPIONSHIP*** Inter-State Champion Curt Hennig barely escapes with his title intact tonight, in his defense against Sargeant Slaughter! The big soldier was on his game, and Hennig was not ready for it. SARGE (2 fatigue) was nearly pinned by Curt after an early HENNIG PLEX, but Slaughter powered out! A frustrated Curt took The Sarge out to the floor.....BIG MISTAKE! After a huge altercation on the outside, HENNIG goes for a steel chair and gets DISQUALIFIED! Hennig quickly scoops up his belt and books to the exit! A slightly dazed and bloody Slaughter gets his hand raised in a hollow victory, (title doesn't change hands on a countout or DQ) Time: (14:42).
**GNW WORLD TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP** Harlem Heat (w/Sister Sherri) failed tonight in their attempt to regain the gold from reigning champions THE FLYING REDHEADS! Bastien and Lyons, were firing on all cylinders, and used their speed and teamwork to perfection, avoiding the POWER of Stevie Ray and Booker T (at least for the bulk of the match). After a 4-man in ring skirmish, LYONS uses a ROLLING REVERSE CRADLE to just barely pin Booker T. (HEAT 3 tokens, REDHEADS 1.) Time: (16:33).
Brian Sager: Minneapolis, we hope you enjoyed yourselves tonight, and we look forward to returning very, very soon! Great North Wrestling travels to The Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, IA Jan.18th bell-time 7PM...this is your humble host Brian Sager saying GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY. ....THINGS ARE HOT HERE IN THE GREAT NORTH, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE MATCHES!!!!!

RESULTS! GNW ON TOUR #203 ************************************* 1/18/2024 Wells Fargo Arena, Des Moines, Iowa Attendance: 7,013 ************************************** It was a crazy night in Des Moines, here are the results.....
Samoa Joe had little resistance from his opponent Kim Duk tonight in the opening match at the Wells Fargo Arena. The big, tough Korean just couldn't put enough offense together against big Joe to get his shoulders to the mat. Joe however didn't have the same problem, and makes Kim tap out at the (7:10) mark. with his REAR NAKED CHOKE.
Much the same result in our second contest, which featured Big John Studd vs Bobby Fish. Fish was outweighed, out-powered and totally in over his head. Studd toyed with his prey (Fish), pulling him up from the 3-count on more than one occasion. Mercifully perhaps from boredom Studd (0 fatigue) pins a flopping FISH (4 fatigue) after an uneeded big elbow drop. Time: (7:26).
Next up, was our tag-team feature, a very competitive and entertaining match between THE MOONDOGS (Spot/Rex) and the exciting team of Greg Gagne and Jim Brunzell aka THE HIGH-FLYERS! The edge in speed was the difference tonight as The High-Flyers eventually win the match. After a hot tag, Brunzell comes in and cleans house, dropkicking Rex to the floor, then Jim pins Spot after a little assist from Gagne as they execute a perfect DOUBLE DROPKICK for the 1,2,3! Time: (10:40).
********INTERMISSION********
Things really kick into high gear after the break as Kurt Angle and Stan Stasiak battled it out in a highly competitive contest. Stasiak attacked his opponent early, and delivered some big damage to Angle. Kurt was able to avoid THE HEART PUNCH, then makes a huge comeback! The crowd cheered loudly as Angle unloaded the offense on a stunned Stasiak. After an impressive lesson in "suplex 101" taught by Kurt, Angle finishes off a weary Stan "The Man", with a devastating OLYMPIC SLAM. Time: (9:58).
In another physical and brutal affair Greg "The Hammer" pounded out a hard fought victory over Dr. Death Steve Williams! These two tough as nails, ring veterans went toe to toe and blow for blow! Just when you thought one guy was finished, they fought their way back to even ground. After an outside melee, Valentine slams Williams headfirst into the ringpost, then piledrives him on the floor (no DQ)! Valentine nearly wins by countout, but Williams is able to roll into the ring negating the referee's count just in time! But there is nothing left in the Dr.'s tank. After receiving some added punishment from VALENTINE, Williams is pinned after a shoulder-breaker.Time: (11:32).
**GNW INTER-STATE TITLE SHOT MATCH** Fit Finlay, who has been on fire of late, got his shot to go for the gold tonight in Des Moines! But his opponent the equally "Caliente" Tito Santana was the unstoppable force in tonight's match up. He absorbed quite the beating from the tough Irishman, and still rallied his way back to victory! So incensed by Finlay's cheating tactics, Tito nearly got disqualified himself. In the end Finlay was forced to submit to Santana's FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK! Time: (12:15).
***SPECIAL MAIN EVENT NO DQ*** Ox Baker collided with ANDRE THE GIANT in a match for the ages! Baker delivered as much pain, and punishment as he could, and Andre was bloody early! Baker was relentless, and you could hear his blows strike the Giant even above the roaring of the crowd! Suddenly ANDRE had, had enough, and unleashed his rage on Baker! They fought out on the floor, with Andre tossing Baker about the place like a rag-doll! Once back in the ring, ANDRE returns the favor and opens up Ox's noggin after repeated headbutts, the Giant keeping Baker from falling to the mat after each blow! Then as Baker drops straight to the canvas after being released by Andre, the Giant pulls him up and tosses him into the turnbuckle, and then SQUASHES him into the corner. After the Ox crashes once more to the canvas, ANDRE covers him for the pin!!!! Time: (13:22).
Brian Sager: THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! ......a great way to end an epic night of GREAT NORTH WRESTLING action here in Des Moines! GNW heads home to MANKATO, MINNESOTA next for ON TOUR #204, Jan. 21st 7pm at the historic KATO BALLROOM. .....THINGS ARE HOT HERE IN THE GREAT NORTH, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE MATCHES. .....GOODBYE FOR NOW FANS!!!

RESULTS! GNW ON TOUR #204 ********************************* 1/21/2024 The KATO Ballroom, Mankato, Minnesota Attendance: 2,500+ (SOLD-OUT) ******************************************* Growing pains, have forced GNW to find a bigger hometown venue! It was a bittersweet event inside the KATO Ballroom as we say goodbye to this historic city venue. It was a great night of action as Great North Wrestling bids farewell to the KATO.....(moving operations to the Mankato Civic Center Arena beginning in Feb. 7,200 seat venue.)
Korean martial arts expert, Kim Duk wins in the opening contest against a game Bobby Fish. Duk used his mastery of Judo/Karate and other assorted Oriental fighting techniques to school Mr. Fish. After taking over the match, (Fish started out well), Kim delivered a series of kicks and chops (chokes, gouges and pokes, too!) to turn the tide. But it was his TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER that finishes off Fish for the evening. Time: (8:25).
Baron Von Raschke scores a big win in his KATO farewell, defeating his nemesis and former a GNW Inter-State Champion, Wilbur Snyder. It was a classic pairing of science vs power and ruthless aggression. Snyder dominated early, turning and stretching the big German every which way! Raschke however was able to cheat his way (no DQ) into control of this match. He uses his BRAIN CLAW to put Wilbur down for the count. Time: (11:41).
In one heck of a competitive match Tito Santana remains undefeated here in GNW, by virtue of his hard fought win over the powerful HERCULES AYALA! An exciting match from start to finish, this one had something for every wrestling fan! Power, agility, strategy and skill were all on display. After a huge offensive by Hercules, he makes a mistake, and Santana seized the opportunity! AFTER a series of dropkicks, Tito (2 fatigue) uses a FLYING FOREARM, launching himself out of the corner, to take AYALA (3 tokens) to the mat for the 1,2,3. Time: (12:27).
*********INTERMISSION*********
Paul Christy/Roger Kirby score their first Great North Wrestling tag-team victory in a disqualification win over the dreaded MONGOLS (Bepo/Geeto). In a fairly even back and forth affair, both teams had chances to shine (and they did!) The bruhaha ends when Geeto refuses to release a CHOKEHOLD he was applying to a purple faced KIRBY, and the ref is forced to disqualify those crazy Mongols. Time: (9:26).
BOBO BRAZIL continues to make the best of his triumphant GNW return, as he soundly defeats "The Crippler" Ray Stevens tonight in Mankato! It wasn't easy by any means, but the popular Brazil does take the "W". After several battles out on the floor, (mostly won by Stevens), the action inside the ring belonged to Bobo. After delivering what seemed to be the 100th Coco Butt to a cross-eyed Crippler, Brazil pins Ray after a ring-shaking Bobo body slam. Time: (14:06).
***STEEL CAGE MAIN EVENT*** No better way to close out an era in an iconic venue, than unleashing 2 masters of mayhem, inside a steel Cage! MENG and DUGGAN tore the place down! This was a physical and bloody war between 2 legit TOUGH S.O.B.'s! They didn't care about winning, as much as they wanted to inflict pain on one another! MENG went crazy at one point, nearly driving Hacksaw's head through the chain-link! Jim returned the favor using the lock and chain to bust Meng open! After what seemed like an eternity of brutality dished out by both combatants, DUGGAN (4 fatigue) hits MENG (3 fatigue) with a FLYING SPEAR, and gets the victory!!! Time: (23:09).
Brian Sager : I can't think of a better way to say goodbye to this awesome place! What a night of professional wrestling action! We aren't leaving this town, just getting a bigger place to play in....Thank you to the amazing facility and staff here at the KATO BALLROOM. ....it has been our pleasure to serve you ! Get ready fans as we cross town and christen our new MANKATO venue The Mankato Civic Center Arena....next month! Until then this is BRIAN SAGER saying, Goodbye for now fans, THINGS ARE HOT HERE IN THE GREAT NORTH, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE MATCHES!!!

RESULTS! GNW ON TOUR #205 ********************************* 1/25/2024 Wild Rose Casino Events Center Emmetsburg, Iowa Attendance: 2,250 (SOLD-OUT) ********************************* GNW rocks northern Iowa with a SOLD-OUT casino show in EMMETSBURG!!!
Tiger Conway Jr. wins a tough match against the sadistic "Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan in front of the SOLD-OUT crowd in Emmetsburg! Kevin was at his brutal best, and battered Tiger for the bulk of the match. Only a reflex action move garnered Conway the win. He ducks a Sullivan clothesline, then springs of the ropes and nails Kevin with a FLYING HEADBUTT for the pin! Afterwards an angered Sullivan pounds on Tiger until...Ilio DiPaolo and Tito Santana rush out from the back to chase him away. Time: (7:52).
Baron Von Raschke turns back a determined Dan Severn, in a back and forth brawl! Severn kept the Big German at bay with an assortment of moves and powerful strikes. The Baron at one point was so frustrated he almost left to the back. Thinking better of it he gets back just before the ref can count him out. Back in the ring the Baron rakes Severn's eyes, then goes to town on his temporarily blinded opponent. After big back body drop, Von Raschke clamps on his CLAW and puts Dan down. Time: (9:36).
Ilio DiPaolo lit up The Wild Rose Events Center, in a scintillating victory over big Bobby Duncum! DiPaolo was nearly flawless early on using tosses and dropkicks to thoroughly confuse Duncum. Bobby did get in his fair share of punishment as well, in a pretty long offensive burst, but the well conditioned Ilio was able to Weather the storm. In the end it was DiPaolo using his AIRPLANE SPIN to get the 1,2,3. Time: (10:16).
**********INTERMISSION**********
The breakneck action continued after the break as Stan Hansen battled the unpredictable Bugsy McGraw! You never know which Bugsy is gonna show up, tonight it was the serious gritty McGraw. Bugsy knew there's no playing around when you face "The Bad Man from Borger "! Bugsy was able to match Hansen blow for blow, the crowd urging him on. BUT after being tossed out of the ring onto the floor (headfirst), the direction of the match turned in Stan's favor. A bloodied McGraw crawls helplessly back into the ring where Hansen was ready to go in for the kill. He gets the 3-count after using his trusty LARIAT to nearly take Bugsy's head off! Time: (10:46).
**GNW TAG-TEAM NON-TITLE MATCH** The GNW WORLD TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONS, The Flying Redheads were lucky tonight that this was a NON-TITLE matchup. In a foreshadowing of what may happen on FEB.1ST'S PPV The Vachons, Mad Dog and Butcher destroyed the champs in front of the jam-packed crowd in the Wild Rose Casino Events Center! Lyons and Bastien were totally overwhelmed by the ruthless Vachons. Every attempt at a comeback by The Redheads, was quickly extinguished by the Mad Dog or The Butcher! This match ends when Mad Dog PILEDRIVES Lyons, and Bastien is unable to make a second pin save. Time: (12:37).
*GNW INTER-STATE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH* Tito Santana's undefeated run here in Great North Wrestling ends, as he fails in his attempt to defeat white-hot Inter-State Champion Curt Hennig! No matter what Tito tried, Hennig had the answer tonight in an impressive title defense. After a series of wear-down holds, Hennig (1token) pins a weary Santana (3 fatigue) striking him down with The Axe. Time: (21:33).
Brian Sager: Thank you great Iowa fans for coming out tonight! Great North Wrestling travels to Helena, Montana next for ON TOUR #206 from the Iconic HELENA CIVIC CENTER, Jan.28th, bell-time 7pm! Good-night fans, from all of us at GREAT NORTH WRESTLING, WHERE THE ACTION NEVER STOPS!!!
