RESULTS!! GNW ON TOUR #216 ********************************* 2/25/2024 Mankato Civic Center Arena, Mankato, MN Attendance: 4,941 *Mankato Record* (previous record 2,200 KATO Ballroom max.) ******************************************** It wasn't a sell-out, but the largest crowd ever in Mankato witnessed a great night of GNW action!!
Angelo Mosca was tonight's labor for HERCULES. Hercules Ayala rises to the occasion with a hard fought victory! He kicked out of 2 BIG NASTY ELBOWS, and made KING KONG submit as well. AFTER Angelo crashed knee-first into an empty turnbuckle, Ayala went to work on Mosca's leg. Eventually after taking a copious amount of punishment, Mosca submits. Time: (8:51).
Hacksaw Duggan was "en fuego" tonight in front of the crazed GNW hometown faithful! The enigmatic Chris Colt did his best to throttle the "Tough Guy", but it just wasn't in the cards for him tonight. Duggan after a slow start, quickly found the road to victory. He pins COLT after a FLYING SPEAR! Time: (9:25).
Former GNW Tag-Team Champions The Flying Redheads (Lyons/Bastien) took another step towards regaining the belts, as they defeated the hated (but also former champs) THE HEART-STOPPERS (Baker/Stasiak). Stasiak and Ox were brutal in the beginning, and it looked like a short night was in store for The Redheads! After escaping Baker's clutches, Bastien was finally able to tag Lyons. LYONS charged in and had both Heart-Stoppers confused and heading for higher ground. Once the two brutes entered back into the squared circle, the match changed dramatically! Bastien and Lyons were able to start working like a team, slowly dissecting their slower and larger opponents. In the end, Lyons applies his SLEEPER on Stasiak (getting the "W"), as Bastien dropkicked Baker over the top-rope and onto the floor! Time: (12:44).
**********INTERMISSION**********
Bobo wins again, hoping the powers that be here in Great North Wrestling are taking notice! Tonight Brazil defeats the always tough, always conniving Dirty Dick Murdoch in front of the Mankato crowd! Murdoch went down, but he did so, punching,kicking, biting and screaming! They brawled all over the ring...and outside of it as well! The crafty Brazil used his COCO BUTT in short rapid-fire bursts to keep his crazed opponent loopy, then pinned the Texan after a devastating BIG HAMMER PUNCH! Time: (18:06).
Big Samoa Joe gets another impressive win in his ledger this evening over grisled veteran "CRIPPLER" Ray Stevens! Stevens knew if he had any chance, he needed to strike early and often. He bum-rushed Joe and soon had him on the mat, negating the big man's size advantage. But Ray's battle strategy quickly dissipated as the match wore on. Stevens seemed to gas himself trying to keep Joe off his feet. Once he got to his feet, the night was essentially over for the gritty Crippler. Ray inevitably submits to a REAR NAKED CHOKE. Time: (10:26).
**NO DQ FINISHER ONLY MAIN EVENT** The last time these two clashed it ended in a DOUBLE DISQUALIFICATION, both men bloody and battering each other's brains in! TONIGHT there would be a winner as Sgt. Slaughter once again met the monster known as MENG! MENG wanted no disqualification. ...and it was granted.....THE SARGE requested a must win by finisher clause....and it was granted. The end result was Slobber-knocker of epic proportions! They hammered each other from one end of the MCC, to the other. No usable weapon was spared, no devious tactic was over-looked, the hatred for each other was palatable! Meng crashed Slaughter through not one but 2 tables during this melee. Slaughter bounced MENG'S skull off the arena floor with a PILEDRIVER! Both men tasted plenty of steel (via ringpost and steps) and were bleeding profusely. This one had to end by TONGAN DEATH GRIP or COBRA CLUTCH only and neither man was even attempting their signature move! ONLY after Meng dived off the ring apron, hitting the floor as Slaughter rolled out of the way, did the SARGE instinctively get to his feet and apply THE COBRA CLUTCH. ....sealing the victory as the crowd cheers wildly! Time: (18:47).
Brian Sager: What a night of action, and what a way to break in our new Mankato home! We set a Mankato GNW attendance record, by over 2700 people thank you FANS!.....LaCrosse Wisconsin is next on GNW'S radar as ON TOUR #217 takes place at THE LACROSSE CENTER, 7PM on February 28th! Until then this is Brian Sager saying THINGS ARE HOT HERE IN THE GREAT NORTH, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE MATCHES. ....Good Night!!!

RESULTS! GNW ON TOUR #217 ********************************* 2/28/2024 The LaCrosse Center, LaCrosse, Wisconsin Attendance: 4,247 ********************************************* GNW was back at it, with a stop in LaCrosse! Here's how it all went down inside The LaCrosse Center Arena on Wednesday night!
Kevin Sullivan ran amok in LaCrosse, defeating a tough opponent in the crazy Bugsy McGraw. Kevin was focused on destroying McGraw, and didn't succumb to Bugsy attempts to distract him with his usual craziness. After punishing big McGraw on "The Tree of Woe", Bugsy is pinned by "The Evil One". Time: (10:17).
Frenchy Martin is no longer winless in Great North Wrestling! After several tough but close losses, Martin was all business tonight and upsets top 10 contender Tito Santana. Martin dominated the popular star from bell to bell, pinning him in relatively short order via PILEDRIVER. Time: (3:56) (DUD).
The Junkyard Dog continues to struggle as of late, dropping his match to the "Refined Ruffian" Lord James Blears! The monocled menace, following up on his somewhat successful outing against Tito Santana (Dbl. DQ), wins tonight's contest handily. After shrugging off 'Dog's early offensive assault, Blears was solid! After an outside skirmish, JAMES beats JYD back into the ring and uses his OXFORD LEG STRANGLE to perfection as JYD howls UNCLE! Time: (7:52).
********INTERMISSION******** Two of GNW'S strangest tag-teams clashed in LaCrosse tonight as THE MONGOLS (Bepo/Geeto) met THE MOONDOGS (Spot/Rex). It was a strangely entertaining encounter, and the crowd was torn on whom to root for. Biting, punching, choking, kicking and stomping with a few power moves mixed in, was just the right recipe for these brutish battlers. The referee certainly had his hands full, and surprisingly nobody was disqualified! The Mongols pull out the hard fought victory, When GEETO finally puts Rex down for the count with a Double Lunging Throat Thrust. Time: (9:37).
Superfly Jimmy Snuka is white-hot currently here in The Great North, as he notches a huge LaCrosse victory over a former GNW WORLD Champion, Stan "The Lariat" Hansen! Stan tried his best to intimidate and bully The Superfly, but the stubborn islander stayed on task. After using his conditioning to keep Hansen from winning by pin or submission, he started to tire the big Texan out...with quick, high-impact wrestling. After a series of nearly decapitating dropkicks, SNUKA takes to the heavens and pins Stan with a textbook SUPERFLY LEAP. Time: (13:31).
**GNW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH** CAN ANYONE DETHRONE JOHN TOLOS?? Since capturing the gold in December of 2023, it seems the answer is a resounding NO. The Golden Greek's recent victim was Rocky Johnson. Rocky provided some stiff resistance early, but Tolos was not shaken in the least. He managed to stop Johnson's dogged offense (low-blow, unseen by the ref ) and took things over from there. After beating Rocky severely on one of many outside brawls (predicated by Tolos), John uses a Corkscrew for the pin, and successfully defends the belt for the 6th time! (Tolos 2 fatigue, Johnson 4.) Time: (15:21).
Brian Sager: Another challenger, another win for World Champion John Tolos. That concludes tonight's card, thank you all for coming, please drive safely home. March 4th is the next GNW ON TOUR outing, taking place in the magnificent Tacoma-Dome, in the great state of WASHINGTON, bell-time 7pm! Good-night fans. .....THINGS ARE HOT HERE IN THE GREAT NORTH, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE MATCHES!!

RESULTS! GNW ON TOUR #218 ****************************************** 3/4/2024 The Tacoma Dome, Tacoma, Washington Attendance: 10,253 ****************************************** What a night in the Pacific NW for GREAT NORTH WRESTLING!!
Dr. Bill Miller was the victor in tonight's opener against the struggling (as of late) Wilbur Snyder. After failing to submit Miller with an early ABDOMINAL STRETCH, Snyder never got another chance to get the "W". Miller's power was the difference, after working almost exclusively on Wilbur's back, Bill gets Snyder to submit with his vice-like BEARHUG. Time: (9:56).
Jimmy Snuka continues his lucky winning streak in GNW with a disqualification win over Big John Studd! Jimmy was flying high, and Studd was on the defensive right from the opening bell! John weathered the aerial assault of Snuka, then after delivering some punishment of his own, he tosses the Superfly out of the ring. There he continues laying the pain to the popular Polynesian star, ultimately getting DISQUALIFIED for PILEDRIVING him on the floor! Time: (11:28).
Bobby Duncum was in no mood to dawdle tonight in Tacoma! In front of the large Tacoma Dome crowd, Duncum took Hillbilly Jim to task! Bobby never gave Jim any breathing room to use his tremendous power. Soon he has the Hillbilly hollering ENOUGH, submitting to a vicious HANGMAN'S NECKBREAKER. Time: (5:49).
********INTERMISSION********
It was a physical,competitive tag-team feature as The Boys (Golden Boy Paul Christy and Nature Boy Roger Kirby), clashed with Billy and Bart the brothers Gunn aka The GUNNslingers. In a fast paced back and forth wrestling exhibition, The GUNNS were a blazin', UNTIL Christy/Kirby took the fracas out to the floor, where they were DISQUALIFIED for refusing to follow the referee's instructions to bring the match back into the ring! Time: (8:49).
Samoa Joe and Ken Patera shook the pillars of The Tacoma Dome in a vulgar display of power! These two muscled each other to and fro, post to post and corner to corner! At one point Joe was in the clutches of Patera's FULL NELSON, nearly passing out! He fought his way back to consciousness and dropped to the mat, causing his head to crash up into Ken's chin, making Patera release the hold! Joe nearly got a pin after an arena shaking powerslam, but Patera kicked out just in time! After power-bombing Ken in the center of the ring Joe made sure the win was his pinning Patera after a SECOND ROPE LEG DROP. Time: (12:39).
***GNW INTER-STATE CHAMPIONSHIP*** Former GNW Inter-State Champion Curt Hennig, scratched and clawed his way back to contention only to squander his golden opportunity! Usually in these championship caliber match-ups, Curt stays focused and avoids ugly situations. But not tonight in Tacoma, as he loses his composure and the match. Inter-State Champion Dr. Death Steve Williams looked a bit road weary, and clearly wasn't in top form tonight. He did however have enough moxie to keep his shoulders off the mat. He had a couple of pin attempts himself, but nothing too convincing. The fight spills to the floor, where we had our 3rd DISQUALIFICATION match of the evening. A frustrated HENNIG was disqualified for repeated chair shots! YOUR WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION AND STILL GNW INTER-STATE CHAMPION, DR. DEATH STEVE WILLIAMS!! Time: (16:42).
Brian Sager: Looks like the DQ bug landed here in Tacoma! 3 in one night is very rare here in Great North Wrestling! But the action was fierce as usual! Great North Wrestling starts a small Canadian tour beginning in Saskatchewan on March 7th, at The Brandt Centre in Regina, bell-time 7pm. Good Night FANS we will catch you all again soon, thank you for coming out this evening....THINGS ARE HOT IN THE GREAT NORTH, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE MATCHES!!!!
