RESULTS GNW ON TOUR #224 ********************************* 3/20/2024 Denny Sanford Premier Center, Sioux Falls, SD ATTENDANCE: 6,389 ************************************************ OLD becomes new again as Great North Wrestling crowns NEW champions tonight in Sioux Falls!!!
Frenchy Martin continues to climb in the GNW rankings, winning his match against Tito Santana. While Tito's wrestling ability was superior to Martin's, in the end power was the deciding factor! After using his strength and power to wear down Tito, it was Frenchy's PILEDRIVER that finished Santana off. Time: (7:45).
High Chief Peter Maivia made a statement tonight in his Great North Wrestling debut, inside The Denny Sanford Premier Center Arena in Sioux Falls! He did this by convincingly defeating the always tough always competitive Hercules Ayala. It wasn't an easy task, but the island warrior Chief not only puts the stubborn Hercules down, he gets him to SUBMIT via a STANDING BACKBREAKER! Time:(9:26).
Eddie Guerrero and Bulldog Don Kent squared off in a very exciting match! Kent's rough-house style vs Guerrero's agile and impactful offense, was pure wrestling gold to the appreciative crowd! Kent's knuckles and brawn worked for a while, even getting him a pin attempt or two. But the resilient Eddie bounces back and in a fury pulls out the victory! After a flying head-scissors, Guerrero uses his electrifying FROG SPLASH for the 1,2,3. Time: (10:04).
********INTERMISSION********
As the crowd settles in for the second half of this epic evening, they are treated to a chaotic but entertaining tag-team fracas between THE MOONDOGS (Spot/Rex) and THE BOYS (Golden Boy Paul Christy and Nature Boy Roger Kirby). It was a fun, wild and wooly free-for-all! Spot and Rex were as ruthless as ever and Spot nearly pins Kirby with a powerslam, but Christy makes the save! Paul and Kirby double-team Rex until Spot intervenes, and all four men wind up outside the ring! There REX is disqualified for wielding the dreaded MOONDOG bone putting it upside Kirby's head! Time: (11:40).
The night continues to roll up tonight's main-event with another doozy of a confrontation as crowd favorite HACKSAW DUGGAN faced the merciless MENG! MENG tried to bum-rush Duggan early, but Jim was still holding his 2x4, and Meng thought better of it. When the bell sounded the gloves were off and the fireworks erupted. Soon Duggan was busted open and Meng was in full beast-mode. Jim tried valiantly to make a comeback, his last gasp effort was ended with a Meng thrust to the throat, and 2 SAVATE KICKS thrown in to seal the deal! WINNER by pinfall MENG! Time: (8:18).
**GNW WORLD TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP** It was nearly two years ago that the HEART-STOPPERS (Baker/Stasiak) were on top of the tag-team scene here in Great North Wrestling! Tonight in Sioux Falls they achieved their second reign as World Tag-Team Champs, defeating Harlem Heat w/Sister Sherri! Booker T and Stevie Ray were firing on all cylinders and it looked like it might be a short night for Ox Baker and Stan Stasiak. But after 2 successful pin saves (one by Baker, one by Stasiak) the tide turned and THE HEART-STOPPERS fired back! STAN nearly pins Booker T after a double-team beatdown, with a shoulder breaker, luckily Stevie Ray made it just in time for the pin save! Both teams battled each other in and out of the ring avoiding disqualification in the process! Back to the ring the action goes and an OX BAKER HEART PUNCH lays out Booker T, as Stan keeps Stevie Ray from making the save! THE WINNERS AND NEW GNW WORLD TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONS, Ox Baker and Stan Stasiak, THE HEART-STOPPERS! Time: (16:35).
Gene Okerlund: Man that is a match that will certainly be a MATCH of the YEAR 2024 candidate for sure! Congratulations HEART-STOPPERS may your 2nd reign be long and prosperous! I'm glad I got to fill in for my colleague, Brian Sager, who had some personal business to attend to this evening. Rest assured he will be back on the road with GNW ON TOUR at our next stop ON TOUR #225, in Sioux City Iowa's Tyson Events Center, 7pm on March 23rd. GOOD NIGHT FANS. ....from all of us here at Great North Wrestling, WHERE THE ACTION NEVER STOPS!!!

RESULTS!! GNW ON TOUR #225 ************************************** 3/23/2024 Tyson Events Center, Sioux City, Iowa Attendance: 5,142 *************************************** Not even a freak early Spring snow shower could keep the Sioux City GNW fans from coming out to the Tyson Events Center Arena for a stupendous card of wrestling action!!!
Kim Duk was our opening match winner, as he defeated Bob Armstrong! Bob used his grappling skills to tie-up Kim for a good while, before DUK was able to mount enough martial arts offense to eventually weaken Armstrong. Kim wins by pinfall after executing a textbook double arm suplex. Time: (8:28).
THE HANDS OF STONE, rule the day over THE CLAW in Sioux Falls as Ronnie Garvin beats the dreaded German big Baron Von Raschke! Raschke brutalized Garvin at the start of this one and soon Ronnie was in the vice-like grip of the Baron's CLAW! The big German must not have had it cinched in because Garvin was able to get to the ropes forcing the break. A groggy Garvin was able to clear the cobwebs and stormed his way back! After a couple of back body drops, Ron blasted Raschke with THE HANDS OF STONE and the Baron was finished for tonight! Time: (7:56).
The masked menace The Grappler, was no match for Blackjack Mulligan in our 3rd feature of the evening! He did attempt to take down the big Texan, but alas MULLIGAN was tougher than a "Two Dollar Steak" with the crowd spurring him on! Mulligan makes his opponent submit after a prolonged Trapevius CLAW. Time: (5:49).
********INTERMISSION********
In a classic match-up between former GNW WORLD Tag-Team champions THE BRITISH BULLDOGS downed the rugged and nasty VACHONS in a pier-six slugfest! Mad Dog and The Butcher made the Brits abandon their high impact/double team driven offense, forcing them brawl it out with them instead! Tonight however Dynamite and Davey Boy were prepared to fight, and fight they did! This match spilled to the outside several times, and the action was intense! During one of the many 4-man in-ring battles, The Dynamite Kid was able to pin The Butcher (they were the legal combatants) after a FLYING CROSSBODY BLOCK from the top turnbuckle! Time: (18:27).
Sgt Slaughter after taking a tremendous beating from Big John Studd, continued his winning ways tonight in Sioux City! Big John hammered THE SARGE right from the opening bell, then tosses him out onto the arena floor! For a good period of time STUDD kept Slaughter from getting back into the squared circle punishing him on every attempt. Finally after the referee threatened disqualification, John allowed his battered foe back into the ring! After kicking out of 2 Studd pin attempts, the stubborn Sargeant started to show signs of life! After a big bodyslam, the two behemoths double clotheslined one another! As the referee was administering the 10 count, Slaughter manages to roll over onto the prone STUDD and gets the 1,2,3! Time: (9:48).
**GNW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE SHOT** Bobo Brazil reaches the summit tonight in The Tyson Events Center, earning his 1st GNW WORLD Title Shot! His always tough opponent and a former Inter-State Champion himself Curt Hennig was on his game tonight! He used his speed and agility to keep Brazil on his guard, and off balance. But the crafty and powerful veteran of many ring wars, absorbed the punishment and struck back at just the right time! Hennig telegraphs a body drop, and Brazil comes off the ropes, kicking Curt right in the head. Hennig wasn't able to shake off its effects, and Brazil took over from there. He drills Curt with 3 rocking COCO BUTTS and a leg drop for the victory! Time: (14:47).
Brian Sager: The action just keeps getting better and better here in Great North Wrestling! Thank you awesome fans for braving the crappy weather and coming out to support us tonight. We have just 1 more ON TOUR stop before the huge PAY-PER-VIEW event GNW THAW BRAWL 2024, taking place March 31st from The Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul!

RESULTS!! GNW ON TOUR #226 Steele County 4-H Fundraiser ************************************ 3/27/2024 Owatonna High School Gym, Owatonna, MN Attendance: 4,600 (SOLD-OUT) ********************************************** GNW ON TOUR #226 was a huge success, as the Steele County 4-H'ers, and GNW sold out the Owatonna High School Gym to witness an epic card of wrestling action all FOR A GREAT CAUSE! (all show proceeds went to pay for routine maintenance of the Steele Co. FAIRGROUNDS, buildings and upkeep of the grounds). HERE are your results !!
Tiger Conway Jr. was very impressive as he notches another big GNW win, this time over the maniacal Isaac the Impaler! Isaac jumped Tiger before the opening bell could ring, with a vicious barrage of punches stomps and a big powerslam! Tiger managed to kick out, then used his agility and speed to forge a solid comeback. As Conway Jr. was about to close things out, ISAAC resorted to using a FOREIGN OBJECT to get DISQUALIFIED. He continued to assault his opponent until...Greg Gagne and Jim Brunzell rushed to Tiger's aid, and Isaac beats a hasty retreat to the back. Time: (6:37).
THE HANDS OF STONE triumphed in Owatonna, as Ron Garvin takes down Bobby Duncum in front of the energized Sold-Out crowd! Duncum was mean and ornery, and really put a beating on Garvin in the early stages of the match. But Ron was a tough nut (too tough)for Duncum to crack tonight. After kicking out of a Duncum bulldog (for the second time) Garvin fought his way back! He drops Bobby to the canvas with THE HANDS OF STONE for the 3-count! Time: (8:43).
Our tag-team feature was a really interesting affair full of physicality and strategy as Sputnik Monroe and The Great Malenko squared off against Bob Armstrong and Tito Santana! Bob and Tito started out on fire and Monroe/Malenko looked very out of sync. Quick tags and high impact moves kept Armstrong and Santana riding high for a good while. But The Great Malenko used a trip (from the outside on the floor) on a speeding Santana off the ropes, and Monroe was able to capitalize on his opportunity! Soon the duo double-teamed Tito, keeping him from tagging a fresh and ready Armstrong. After two kickouts by a weary Santana, Malenko uses his RUSSIAN SICKLE to finally pin Santana as Monroe snuffed out Bob's pin-save using a knee lift. Time: (9:17).
********INTERMISSION********
After the intermission, KEVIN SULLIVAN and HIGH CHIEF PETER MAIVIA clashed in a real barn-burner! It was a brutal crowd-pleaser! Maivia came into this one,ready to rumble,and Sullivan was totally shocked as Peter thwarted every vile attack attempted by The Taskmaster! Maivia even survived the vicious TREE OF WOE, and nearly pinned Sullivan after a running powerslam! The back and forth salvos launched by both men were rife with impact and brutality! The match spills out of the ring onto the floor, the crowd roaring in sadistic glee! Neither man cared to heed the refs warnings, and both were DISQUALIFIED while brawling out on the floor! DOUBLE DISQUALIFICATION!! Time: (10:51).
**NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH** Sgt. Slaughter in his last test before his THAW BRAWL, Loser Leaves GNW for 1 year MATCH vs Meng, had his hands full in tonight's outing against one-half of The GNW WORLD TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONS. .... The Heart-Stoppers's OX BAKER! It was a back and forth, tooth and nail slobber-knocker! Ox was twisting every body part on the SARGE, biting and stomping on him as well. Slaughter toughed it out and fired back, nearly knocking Ox's teeth out with a jaw-busting series of right hands! Ox used a clubbing forearm to drop Slaughter to his knees and went for his dreaded HEART PUNCH. A nearly depleted Slaughter dropped and rolled out of the ring to avoid the OX's finisher. Ox follows and quickly tosses him back into the ring. He whips Slaughter into the ropes and readies another HEART PUNCH, but Sarge ducks under and applies his COBRA CLUTCH to a wide-eyed OX who is unable to break it! Baker is forced to tap out! Time: (12:47).
***STEEL CAGE MAIN EVENT*** Our main-event was also a massive battle between to physical and bitter enemies....Baron Von Raschke and Jerry "The King" Lawler inside a STEEL CAGE! It was a violent and bloody melee, as these two went at it non-stop from bell to bell! Lawler at one point pulled the strap down and knuckle busted The Baron until he was covered in crimson! Raschke brutalized Lawler's noggin on the steel, until it shined in RED! Neither man was focused on winning, just destroying one another. After what seemed like an eternity of violence, The Baron decides to end the festivities....and the big German applies his BRAIN CLAW! Lawler struggled mightily against it, but finally he succumbed. THE BARON wins and leaves the arena proclaiming "THE KING IS DEAD" dat is all da PEEPLE NEED TO KNOW!....Time: (19:42).
Brian Sager: Thank you Owatonna, Minnesota....not only for coming out, but supporting the Youth of Steele County. ..the 4-H'ers! Next up for Great North Wrestling is our HUGE PPV EVENT GNW THAW BRAWL, March 31st, live 6pm from the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul!

GNW PPV RESULTS!!!! (PART 1) ************************************** GNW THAW BRAWL 2O24 3/31/24 The Xcel Energy Center, St. Paul, Minnesota Attendance: 18,327 ********************************************* Sunday night in St. Paul was alive with the sights and sounds of Great North Wrestling, as GNW'S THAW BRAWL took center stage, with an epic night of professional wrestling!!!
*8-MAN TAG-TEAM MATCH * The night began fast and furiously as The Moondogs (Rex/Spot) teamed with The Strays (Redd Dogg/Road Dogg) against The GUNNslingers (Billy and Bart Gunn) and The High-Flyers (Greg Gagne/ Jim Brunzell)! This one was action packed from start to finish! The difference in this one was teamwork, as The Gunns and High-Flyers worked better together than their adversaries. At one point it looked like The Moondogs/Strays were going to fight each other. Missed tags, refused tags it was ugly, while Greg,Jim, Billy and Bart were like a well oiled machine! After a barrage of high-flying impact moves, Gagne pins Rex after a sunset flip! Time: (11:16).
*2/3 FALLS NO DQ* THE PPV juggernaut Andre the Giant continues his winning ways in PPV events defeating Big John Studd in consecutive falls! Studd tried hard but ANDRE, with his throng of fans, urging him on was UNSTOPPABLE tonight in The Xcel Energy Center! He captures the first fall via BIG SPLASH, after pounding on Studd outside on the arena floor! (9:00). Studd never fully recovers and Andre continues to pound Big John in the second stanza. After a series of HEADBUTTS, The Giant uses a POWERSLAM for the win! (7:17) MATCH TOTAL TIME (16:17).
*GNW INTER-STATE TITLE SHOT* Get ready GNW INTER-STATE CHAMPION Ray Stevens, your next opponent has been chosen tonight at THAW BRAWL! Olympic standout Kurt Angle has earned his shot, beating "The Bad Man from Borger" and former GNW WORLD Champion STAN HANSEN. In a match full of twists, turns, brutality and skill that mixed into a mat masterpiece! Hansen had his chances but Angle kicked out several times along the way to victory! Eventually after ducking STAN'S LARIAT, Angle sweeps a big Hansen leg, and clamps in his ANKLE LOCK! It looked as though Hansen would rather have his ankle broken, than submit, so Kurt kept the pressure on until Stan screams in submission ! Time: (13:47).
**GNW WORLD TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP** THE WORKING MAN'S TEAM and red hot #1 contenders Al/Don Greene were thrown a curveball as Harlem Heat dropped the straps mere days before THAW BRAWL. The newly crowned GNW TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONS (2nd time) THE HEART-STOPPERS (Baker/Stasiak) were not what they had trained for. Baker and Stasiak's impromptu brutality and brawling were just too much for the Greenes. Ox battered the Greenes from pillar to post, tagging in Stan "The Man" intermittently so he could do the same! Clearly The Heart-Stoppers were the better team tonight. Baker didn't even need his HEART PUNCH, instead pinning a beaten Don Greene with a PILEDRIVER, while Stasiak continued to stomp a mudhole in Al. Time: (11:33)
PART II COMING UP!!!! ********INTERMISSION *************

GNW PPV RESULTS!!!! (PART 2) ************************************** GNW THAW BRAWL 2O24 3/31/24 The Xcel Energy Center, St. Paul, Minnesota Attendance: 18,327 ********************************************* GNW THAW BRAWL 2024 finished up as wild as it started out, to the delight of the loud and rowdy crowd......here's how the rest of this historic card played out........
*20-MAN CALL YOUR SHOT BATTLE ROYALE* (Winner gets his choice of TITLE shots, WORLD, Inter-State or GNW Tag-Team with partner of his own choosing).
THE night belonged to the big Texan, BLACKJACK MULLIGAN, who was the last man standing tonight in St. Paul! TIME :(26:11). ORDER OF ELIMINATION:
1.Tiger Conway Jr. by Baron Von Raschke 2.Sputnik Monroe by Kevin Sullivan 3.Baron Von Raschke by Samoa Joe 4.Fit Finlay by BJ Mulligan 5.Lord James Blears by BJ Mulligan 6.Hacksaw Duggan by Jimmy Snuka 7.Bobby Duncum by Hercules Ayala 8.Isaac the Impaler by Pepper Gomez 9.Pepper Gomez by BJ Mulligan 10.Hillbilly Jim by Kevin Sullivan 11.Bob Armstrong by Samoa Joe 12.Lord Alfred Hayes by Hercules Ayala 13.Samoa Joe by BJ Mulligan 14.Eddie Guerrero by Bobo Brazil 15.Great Malenko by Kevin Sullivan 16.Bobo Brazil by Kevin Sullivan 17.Kevin Sullivan by BJ Mulligan 18.Jimmy Snuka by Hercules Ayala
At [26:11] Blackjack Mulligan tosses Hercules Ayala over the top-rope and claims the victory!
*NO DQ, LOSER LEAVES GNW FOR 1 YEAR* The hottest feud in GNW so far in 2024 culminated in this knock-down drag-out coup de gras, between Sgt. Slaughter and Meng! This match definitely lived up to the hype! Both men had 1 victory each coming in, both of them were brutal slobber-knockers! Slaughter and Meng's hatred for each other could be felt, even in the rafters of the Xcel Energy Center! It wasn't a technically sound affair, but the brutality and physical punishment, more than made up for grappling imperfection. The crowd witnessed a free-for-all of carnage and mayhem! Meng nearly had the SARGE with his TONGAN DEATH GRIP, but somehow he managed to wrangle free, the crowd fueling Slaughter with their howling support! Sarge nearly decapitated Meng with his Slaughter Cannon, but the monster was able to kick out at two and a half! It went back and forth at a frenzied pace, each man trying desperately to finish off the other. FINALLY after a double clothesline, SARGE is the first to his feet, and cinches in his COBRA CLUTCH and the Monster Meng falls in defeat! Your winner SGT. SLAUGHTER, he banishes MENG from Great North Wrestling for a period of no less than 1year. Time: (14:44).
*** GNW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP *** Since late December of 2023, GNW WORLD CHAMPION JOHN TOLOS has ruled the roost here in Great North Wrestling! He has turned back challenger after challenger 6 to be exact,during his 107 day reign, quite impressive. TONIGHT a second generation legend GREG VALENTINE was victorious over The Golden Greek. The Hammer cashing in his CALL YOUR SHOT win from GNW'S WILD WEST SHOW, steps up to take the GOLD. Tolos started with the hot-hand early and punished Valentine with some vicious tactics. Greg was patient, and picked his shots carefully doing maximum damage each time. John nearly pinned Valentine with his FLYING KNEE SMASH, that rocked his challenger but good! Greg survived to fight on, and began his comeback! Valentine (3 fatigue) grounds Tolos (2 fatigue), and begins to weaken the Champion's leg. Then Valentine uses a prolonged FIGURE FOUR to force Tolos to submit. YOUR WINNER AND NEW GNW WORLD CHAMPION GREG VALENTINE!! Time:(17:43).
Mean Gene: The Hammer joins his father Johnny a 3-time GNW WORLD Champion on the list of immortality as the NEW Great North Wrestling World Champion, ending the distinguished and Longest Reign (so far) of John Tolos!!! What a great night of action, all of us here in Great North Wrestling are so glad you could join us, here in St. Paul as well as the rest of the world from their living rooms! GNW hits the road again, bringing you GNW ON TOUR #227 7PM bell-time from the OSHKOSH ARENA in Oshkosh, Wisconsin on APRIL 3RD 2024.

RESULTS!! GNW ON TOUR #227 ***************************** 4/3/2024 The Oshkosh Arena, Oshkosh, Wisconsin Attendance: 8,150 ******************************************* Back on the road again after GNW THAW BRAWL, Great North Wrestling lands in OSHKOSH B'GOSH with a stupendous 7 match card!!!
"The Man with the Cast-iron Stomach" puts it to good use in Oshkosh, as Pepper Gomez defeats Lord Alfred Hayes in the evening's opener! Hayes did everything within his power (legal and otherwise), but Pepper was able to "gut" it out! After trying a running headbutt right into Pepper's stomach (duh BIG MISTAKE), Hayes was nearly knocked unconscious. As the Englishman stumbled backwards Gomez added a wind-up punch to Alfred's chin and made the cover for the 1,2,3! Time: (7:06).
The robust and powerful Ilio DiPaolo notches another win in his ledger, this time over Fit Finlay in a very competitive match! Finlay tried his best to bully the stubborn Italian, but the hot-blooded DiPaolo gives it right back to the stocky Irishman! After a back and forth tussle, Ilio uses his patented AIRPLANE SPIN to finish off FIT in a match so competitive it nearly went the 20 minute time-limit! Time: (19:34).
In a clash of battle-scarred veterans MAD DOG VACHON wins in single's competition over High Chief Peter Maivia in a violent pier-sixer! Mad Dog, bit, choked, punched kicked and gouged his way to victory tonight in Oshkosh! Maivia didn't just lie down and take it either. He made a huge rally chopping and slamming Vachon repeatedly. After a timely thrust to Maivia's windpipe (unseen by the referee), Vachon puts Peter away after an excruciating backbreaker! (Both men were battered and bloody). Time: (7:45).
Former GNW Tag-Team Champions HARLEM HEAT are back in the win column, beating The High-Flyers (Gagne/Brunzell) in front of the rowdy Oshkosh faithful! It was a fast-paced ,quick tagging affair between to very accomplished and polished teams. The difference tonight however was the STRENGTH of Harlem Heat and the presence of SISTER SHERRI! Sherri jumped up on the apron, distracting the ref, while Stevie Ray and Booker T used a double-team clothesline and a piledriver from Booker to pin a beaten Brunzell. Time: (8:46).
**********INTERMISSION**********
In a much anticipated match-up of GNW superstars, Samoa Joe and THE SUPERFLY did not disappoint the huge crowd in attendance! It was a tidal wave of power and agility, that kept the fans attention from bell to bell. Samoa Joe outlasted Jimmy tonight and grabs the "W". A bloody Snuka misses a SUPERFLY LEAP, and ends up in the grips of Joe's REAR NAKED CHOKE. ...and is forced to tap out! Time: (11:31).
**GNW INTER-STATE TITLE SHOT** In one of the biggest upsets of 2024 so far, young Tiger Conway Jr. has earned a shot at the GNW Inter-State Championship! Tiger gets past big Blackjack Mulligan tonight in the Oshkosh Arena! Perhaps with a CALL YOUR SHOT victory in his pocket Mulligan was looking past his opponent tonight. He did punish Conway Jr. for a good while, but the resilient youngster was not to be denied! After escaping Mulligan's BRAIN CLAW, and ducking a LARIAT attempt, Tiger comes off the ropes and nails the big Texan with a FLYING HEADBUTT, then covers Mulligan just long enough for the 3-count! A stunned but impressed Mulligan shakes hands with Tiger after the bell rings. Time: (9:57).
**GNW INTER-STATE CHAMPIONSHIP** A NEW CHAMPION IS CROWNED TONIGHT IN OSHKOSH! Kurt Angle, fresh from his title shot victory at THAW BRAWL, makes good on his challenge as he takes down Inter-State Champion "Crippler" Ray Stevens! Stevens started out like a man possessed using every bit of his experience and trickery, to keep the Olympic standout on his heels or on the mat. But the well-conditioned Angle just kept bouncing back! Finally after an outside fracas, that busted both men open, KURT takes over and imposes his will upon Ray. Back in the ring after a series of German Suplexes, Angle plants Stevens into the canvas with a Powerbomb for the pin! The crowd goes wild as Angles hoists up the belt afterwards! Time:(16:42).
Brian Sager: As of late it seems that the Inter-State Championship is a slippery piece of hardware to hold on to! Congratulations Kurt Angle and good luck moving forward! Next for Great North Wrestling is a stop in Seattle, Washington's Climate Pledge Arena for GNW ON TOUR #228 bell-time 7PM on April 6th! 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 #228 ********************************* 4/6/2024 The Climate Pledge Arena, Seattle, Washington ATTENDANCE: 9,067 ************************************************ It was a "Villainous" night in Seattle, when Great North Wrestling made its return to the Emerald City!!!....over 9,067 roaring fans were in attendance for one HEEL OF A TIME!
CHRIS COLT back in somewhat familiar surroundings, wins in comfortable fashion over the dashing Latino Al Perez! Perez looked good in this one as well, it was an even match overall. After an eye poke and a standing dropkick stuns Al, COLT launches himself off the top-rope with a bruising ELBOW DROP for the pin! Time: (8:16).
Manny Fernandez had no answer for THE GREAT MALENKO tonight in Seattle! In a fairly physical and impactful match-up (as is expected from these two), tonight was Malenko's night to shine. The Great One escaped Manny's FLYING BURRITO en route to victory via his "specialty" THE RUSSIAN SICKLE! Time: (8:31).
Kevin Sullivan keeps tonight's evil winning streak alive beating Ronnie Garvin in a fast but brutal bruhaha! Garvin was tough as nails and Sullivan was on the ropes early! The tide of this one changes ,when Kevin drops down, avoiding a Garvin flying cross body, while pulling down on the top-rope, sending Ronnie crashing out to the arena floor. Garvin manages to crawl under the ropes, where Sullivan finishes him quickly with his DOUBLE FOOT STOMP, and the cover. Time: (3:36).
The "heel" deck surely was stacked in this violent and a entertaining clash of two real badasses ANGELO MOSCA and STAN HANSEN! The crowd cheered, not for any one individual but just to see violence untethered and raw! They crashed and bashed, inside and outside of the squared circle! Chairs, guardrails, turnbuckles even the arena floor were weapons of choice for both of these brawling brutes! After Mosca (2 tokens) misses with his BIG NASTY ELBOW, Hansen (2 tokens) rages back to win the day! He rocks King Kong with 2 big right hands, followed by a Borger body slam for the 1,2,3! Time: (9:03).
**********INTERMISSION**********
Rocky Johnson must have been suffering from jetlag, or maybe the EVIL was just too strong tonight inside the Climate Pledge Arena! He was the next victim of the evening as Big Bill Miller was a man on a mission! The big Dr. was all business, and business was GOOD! He smothered a sluggish (a rare occurrence for Johnson) Rocky from bell to bell! In nearly no time at all this match was over! Miller seals the deal after a perfectly executed Backbreaker! Time: (2:51). (Squash).
The Flying Redheads (Lyons/Bastien) looked like they would finally put a notch in the win column for the good guys, BUT The MONGOLS had other ideas! In a tag-team classic both these teams did what they do best! Bastien and Lyons had the quickness and agility, and The Mongols had brute strength and cunning! The crowd was on its feet the entire match! It had aerial assaults from Bastien/Lyons....and brutal double-teaming from Bepo/Geeto! In the end the Mongols used their power and some questionable tactics (unseen by the official) to get the duke! Bepo pins Lyons after a double-team clothesline, as Geeto keeps Bastien from making the pin save!. Time: (18:07).
***HANDICAP MATCH MAIN EVENT**** OBVIOUSLY nobody told Andre the Giant, that tonight was "HEEL NIGHT", or maybe the 8th Wonder of the World just didn't care! Big Andre ruins a perfect night for the baddies, as he crushes Nord the Barbarian and Val Venis in tonight's wild MAIN EVENT! Val certainly wasn't gyrating long before Andre put his big boot upside Venis's skull dropping him like a stone! Big Nord rushes in and hits the Giant from behind sending him down to one knee! The crowd roared as big Andre rises back up to his feet and CHOKESLAMS the Barbarian nearly through the mat, then slams the unconscious Val Venis on top of him. Andre then sits on his impromptu THRONE as the referee makes the 3-count! YOUR WINNER THE 8TH WONDER OF THE WORLD---- ANDRE THE GIANT! Time: (9:17).
Brian Sager: Andre avoids a shutout for the good guys tonight in Seattle! What a way to end this spectacular night of wrestling! Thank you so much fans for having us back to this great venue! GNW ON TOUR continues APRIL 9th in Duluth Minnesota's AMSOIL ARENA for GNW ON TOUR #229 bell-time 7PM!.....until then this is Brian Sager saying Good Night ......from GREAT NORTH WRESTLING, WHERE THE ACTION NEVER STOPS!!!
