MAIN EVENT: SOUTHLAND HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
BOBO BRAZIL (c) pinned PAUL ORNDORFF***** with a Coco Butt

Bobo was large and in charge in defending against Orndorff tonight. Nothing that Orndorff tried was able to derail the big man as Bobo ran through Orndorff and put him away with a pair of Coco Butts.

BOBO BRAZIL RETAINS THE SOUTHLAND HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

EpicDave: Congratulations to BOBO BRAZIL for retaining the Southland Heavyweight Championship! He looked tremendous tonight and there was nothing that Orndorff could do about it.

[EpicDave]

Thanks to neilybob for this week's insights.

Heartland Championship Wrestling: Patriot Championship Wrestling
December 23, 2023 (Card #1261)
Baltimore Arena, Baltimore, Maryland

EpicDave: Hey, fans! Welcome to Baltimore for tonight's exciting edition of Heartland Championship Wrestling. The men of Patriot Championship Wrestling have come to town to take Baltimore by storm with an incredible night of action. It's gonna be a throwdown Grudge Match in the Main Event when BRYAN DANIELSON & RICKY STEAMBOAT join forces against the diabolical duo of ARN ANDERSON & TULLY BLANCHARD. So relax, grab yourself a cold one, and enjoy the show!


SUPERSTAR GRAHAM*** defeated 'HACKSAW' JIM DUGGAN***** by submission with the Superstar Bearhug


NORD THE BARBARIAN & BORIS ZHUKOV defeated DOOM (BUTCH REED* & RON SIMMONS) by disqualification when Reed blasted Zhukov with a Steel Chain


KURT ANGLE defeated ANGELO MOSCA** by submission with the Ankle Lock


THE ROCK 'N ROLL EXPRESS (RICKY MORTON & ROBERT GIBSON***) battled THE MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS (CHRIS SABIN**** & ALEX SHELLEY) to a Double Disqualification after a Four-Way Brawl

EpicDave: What a crazy match! Those guys were all over the place- but it looked like Morton had Sabin pinned. Shelley hit the ring to make the save, and all four men wound up in a brawl. These teams both make every effort to play by the rules- but when the competitive juices run hot, anything can happen.


GRUDGE MATCH- NO DISQUALIFICATION:
MARK HENRY pinned THE SPOILER* with the World's Strongest Slam

Mark Henry made his return to the Heartland in dominant fashion, overpowering the Spoiler and putting him down in less than five minutes.

EpicDave: And that's why they call him the World's Strongest Man. Henry has been watching the back of 'HACKSAW' JIM DUGGAN, and that is an alliance that should benefit both those guys.


RICK RUDE defeated ED 'STRANGLER' LEWIS******* by submission with the Sleeper Hold


MAIN EVENT: GRUDGE MATCH- NO DISQUALIFICATION:
ARN ANDERSON*** & TULLY BLANCHARD defeated BRYAN DANIELSON***** & RICKY STEAMBOAT***** when Tully pinned Steamboat with a Slingshot Suplex

JUSTICE 4 ALL t-shirts filled the arena and the fans were revved up to see Danielson and Steamboat join forces. J4A didn't disappoint, getting off to a quick start as Steamboat took down Anderson and Danielson trapped Arn with the Cattle Mutilation. But Tully rescued Arn, then dragged Steamboat out to the arena floor and whacked Steamboat with a steel chair! Danielson dove into the fray and took down Tully, but Blanchard went into his trunks for a foreign object and opened a huge gash on the head of Danielson. Anderson alertly shoved Steamboat into the steel ring post! Steamboat was stunned, and Blanchard was able to plant Steamboat with the Slingshot Suplex and cover him for the pin.

After the pin, Blanchard came after Steamboat with the foreign object, but SERGEANT SLAUGHTER hustled to ringside and chased off Blanchard and Anderson before further damage could be done.


EpicDave: Wow! That was intense. JUSTICE 4 ALL has taken the Heartland by storm, but guys like Anderson and Blanchard aren't just going to roll over and give up. Steamboat and Danielson were both busted open in that match, and thank heavens that Sgt. Slaughter was on hand to prevent that situation from escalating. That sets the stage for the Six-Man showdown at the January pay-per-view where Steamboat, Danielson, and Slaughter with team up against Anderson, Blanchard, and JOHNNY VALENTINE. That match will escalate this situation into an all-out war! All right, fans- we're done here. Thanks for checking us out tonight! Heartland will be back on Wednesday night with action from Heartland Ladies' Wrestling. The ladies' will be taking their talents to Cleveland for a huge night of action, with Mistress of Mayhem Champion SARA DEL REY headlining the show with a title defense against PORTIA PEREZ. That's our show, and I AM OUTTA HERE!





Patriot Heavyweight Champion: BUDDY ROGERS
Patriot Tag Team Champions: THE FANTASTICS (TOMMY ROGERS & BOBBY FULTON)
North American Champion: SGT. SLAUGHTER


Commissioner/General Manager: TORRIE WILSON
Guest Interviewer: BILL APTER

[~KB~]

I've said it before and I will say it again, the sheer scale of this fed is absolutely EPIC!

Any time 'SUPERSTAR' BILLY GRAHAM wins is a GOOD day!

Teaming the two different generation DRAGONS is brilliant IMO. STEAMBOAT & DANIELSON

The only thing that would make this fed better is if you teamed RICK RUDE and MANNY FERNANDEZ - THE AWESOME TWO-SOME!!!

[barfly2021]

and then...JUSTICE 4 ALL!
yeah they lost, but Anderson & Blanchard had to work for it. if mot for Slaughter there would have been too less J4L. can't wait to see what happens next

[EpicDave]

Thanks as always to barfly2021 and to ~KB~ for the comments!

Heartland Wrestling Association:
Heartland Ladies' Wrestling
December 27, 2023 (Card #1262)
Wolstein Center, Cleveland, Ohio

The show opens with the tune, "Poison" by Alice Cooper playing overhead. VELVET SKY strides to the ring, dressed in orange and black, high-fiving the fans along the aisleway.

Velvet: Heartland- what is up?!??!? I am WIRED to be here! EpicDave and I are really not big Browns fans- but your boys are ROCKING it this year and the great fans of Cleveland deserve to enjoy the ride. But speaking of rocking it- the kickass chicks of Heartland Ladies' Wrestling are here to throw down tonight with the best wrestling on the planet. And we're gonna have a SWEET Main Event tonight when PORTIA PEREZ challenges SARA DEL REY for the Mistress of Mayhem Championship. Let's take care of business!


SHIRLEY BLACK** pinned CHRISTINA VON EERIE**** after a Clothesline

The return of Christina Von Eerie was off to a good start, until MSCHIF came to ringside accompanied by CHEERLEADER MELISSA. MsChif stared down Christina, while Melissa tried to keep the peace. The referee sent MsChif away from ringside, but Christina remained on alert. Christina lost her focus, and Black rallied for the win.


TASHA STEELZ & BIG SWOLE defeated THE HALE TWINS (SAGE** & BRIAR****) when Swole pinned Briar with Dirty Dancing


MS. FRANKIE JAY* defeated SAVANNAH EVANS* by disqualification after a brawl on the arena floor


JORDYNNE GRACE** pinned MASHA SLAMOVICH**** with the Grace Driver


THE HEX (ALLYSIN KAY & MARTI BELLE** w/Karlee Perez) defeated CORA******* & DEBBIE* COMBS when Marti pinned Cora after a backbreaker


HEARTLAND LADIES' CHAMPIONSHIP: #1 CONTENDERS' MATCH
KELLY KLEIN*** defeated DEONNA PURRAZZO*** by submission with the End of the Match

Velvet: Congratulations to KELLY KLEIN! She has earned a shot at the Heartland Ladies' Championship. And she definitely earned it! She held the Mistress of Mayhem championship for almost all of 2023 before Deonna beat her- but now Kelly has her revenge and she is going for the big belt! It will be Kelly Klein challenging NICOLE MATTHEWS for the title at our January pay-per-view!


MAIN EVENT: MISTRESS OF MAYHEM CHAMPIONSHIP
SARA DEL REY (c) pinned PORTIA PEREZ*** with the Royal Butterfly

There was no handshake to begin this match, but Portia brought the fire. Portia came at Sara with a barrage of dropkicks, which left Sara backpedalling. But Sara would not go down, and Sara responded with a massive boot to the chest which sent Portia sprawling. No matter what Portia tried, Sara had the answer, and after several minutes of action, Sara was able to trap Portia in the Royal Butterfly and slam Portia to the canvas for a clean pin.

SARA DEL REY RETAINS THE MISTRESS OF MAYHEM CHAMPIONSHIP

Velvet: Well, you can't blame Portia for trying- but I would have been shocked if she could have taken down Sara Del Rey. Kudos to Sara for keeping her championship tonight! That's it for tonight, Heartland- thanks for another awesome night of wrestling here in Cleveland! Would you believe that was our LAST show of 2023? Next time Heartland is on the air will be for the 2024 Buckeye Bowl on January 1! Thirty men will enter the battle, but only one man will win- and I can't wait to see who comes out on top. Come check it out!





Heartland Ladies' Champion: NICOLE MATTHEWS
Heartland Ladies' Tag Team Champions: MALIA HOSAKA & JAZZ (3)
Mistress Of Mayhem: SARA DEL REY

[barfly2021]
