Pro Wrestling Ohio has added two new videos to YouTube, and this week they are extra-special features. Two brand new PWO video packages brought to you online fans exclusively, days before their official debut date on the July 26 episode of PWO TV on Sports Time Ohio. These videos set the stage perfectly for two of the biggest matches set for PWO Wrestlelution 2: A Coming of Age, to take place Sunday afternoon, August 9 at the Nautica Pavilion in downtown Cleveland, Ohio with a 3 pm belltime.

Without further delay, Pro Wrestling Ohio proudly presents these two brand new video packages:

PWO Wrestlelution 2 Dumpster Match Video History – Rags To Riches

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnZ80cFTnO4

When Jason Bane defeated Aaron Maguire’s charge Cronus last year, Aaron Maguire lost all his worldly possessions after investing every penny he owned into gambling on a Cronus victory. A now-homeless Maguire was befriended by the loveable Hobo Joe who helped Aaron adjust to his newfound lifestyle. But when the dangerous Gambino Family appeared to collect the rest of the money Maguire owed them, Aaron’s true self re-emerged, and when Maguire saw an opportunity to get back on top… he proved that friendship and loyalty are no match for the all-mightly dollar. Aaron Maguire took on two new clients, and began a "hit list" to get back at everyone he feels has wronged him over the past year. This video traces Aaron Maguire’s journey from the penthouse to the poorhouse and back again.

Aaron Maguire leads in Mickey & Marshall Gambino to battle Jason Bane & Hobo Joe in a Dumpster Match at PWO Wrestlelution 2: A Coming of Age! Anything goes and the only way to win is to place your opponents in a Dumpster and shut the lid!

PWO Wrestlelution 2 Video History: Gargano vs. Prohibition – A Coming of Age

However, this relationship soon was soon damaged beyond repair by jealousy, selfishness, and ego. This video package retraces the four year history of Prohibition and Gargano, and how they went from inseparable friends to bitter rivals.

Josh Prohibition defends the PWO Heavyweight Championship against Johnny Gargano in a No-Disqualification Match in the main event of PWO Wrestlelution 2: A Coming of Age, Sunday afternoon, August 9, 2009 at 3 pm from the Nautica Pavilion in downtown Cleveland Ohio.

IWA Puerto Rico 10th anniversary results Bayamon P.R. 7/18 by rocker2

In front of some 4,000 people at Pepin Cestero in Bayamon:

With “Moody” Hector Melendez and Axel Cruz in the house (IWA former long time announcing team.

– In a former IWA wrestlers Battle Royal, The Mummy was victorious!

– Wrestler/referee Pelayito defeated Anarchy

– The Crow won the Xtreme Combat match (X-division)with the action from this match being at a LUNACY level !!

-TNA KNOCKOUTS “The Beautiful People” defeated Paparazzi and Stephano with interference by Ramone and Barbie Boy (IWA resident Gay babyfaces). Stephano got major heat by grabbing The Beautiful People inappropriately.

India won the title of Miss IWA.

The World Championship match with Savio Vega challenging Joe Bravo for the title, ended when Bacano and Casanova interfered and split the back of Savios head open with the Dominican flag.

Sheepherder Luke Williams (IWA deputy of discipline) stepped in, threw out the match, and held up the World championship.  Luke was then beaten unmerciful by the Dominicans until Hurricane Castillo and El Niche came down to save him!

– The Arabs were crowned world champions in a 4 way tag match over Golden Boy and Chris Joel with help from Raymond Sales. Prior to that, Bryan / Chicano and Noel / Richard were counted out outside the ring.

10 Man tag

Los Boriquas:Savio Vega, Miguel Perez, Huracan Castillo, Lynx and El Niche vs. The Dominican Revolution: Joe Bravo, El Bacano, Eli Rodriguez, Dean Rose, and Balbuena with Puma Jr. in their corner.

Los Boriquas won the match when the Dominicans tried to use the flag for the win and this time it backfired on them

“El Mesias” Ricky Banderas defeated Dennis Rivera with a Frog Splash in, from what I heard, A TERRIFIC MATCH!! This is Ricky’s hometown and his presence was mostly responsible for the IWA increased attendance!

After the main event, Dennis’s partner Noel Rodriquez came down to the ring and turned on him!!!   The commissioner Edwin Vasquez came down and was able to stop the attack but, not for long! As he then turned on Dennis as well!

Savio Vega (Dennis older brother) then came down to the ring and tried to make the save but, was “thwarted”!

As the Dominicans and Malice were beating on the brothers, Ricky came to the ring with his special “El Miesas” chair (P.R. fans see this as lancelots sword) AND CLEANED HOUSE!!!

When the “smoke had cleared” and the only ones left in the ring were Ricky, Savio, and Dennis, Ricky forced the brothers to put the past behind them and to join forces and act like BROTHERS because the company and the fans needed them together!!!

Ricky then gave the brothers his word, that he would return to the wrestling company he started with when they absolutely needed him and the time was right!!!

I understand the place came unglued!!

Note:   Mikal Judas, former IWA Champion, was approached to appear at this show by Miguel Perez, but Perez failed to follow-up and confirm him for the date.  Judas is owed several thousand dollars by IWA.
