Rainmaker turned on Magic Man causing Magic Man to loose the match. Magic Man was held in the chair by Ryan Cruz and Mikey Wipeout as Paradise cut his hair.
Before the main event there was a poetry contest. Rick was pick from the crowd to read his poem against Billy Blaze’s poem. The fan were then asked which one they liked better.

CM Punk VS Daniel Bryan

This Sunday at the WWE Over The Limit PPV the WWE champion CM Punk will take on the challenge of Daniel Bryan. To promote that match this week WWE.com posted a story about the history between Punk and Bryan. That story included photos I took for Pro Wrestling Illustrated back in 2004. The match took place at the St. Paul Armory for Ring of Honor when Bryan was then know as Bryan Danielson. No titles were on the line in that match on April 23 but Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat was the special guest referee. Bryan won that match when he made Punk tap out. Will he be able to make Punk tap out again this Sunday?
CM Punk spent his first few years in pro wrestling in Steel Domain Wrestling which held most of its card in West Saint Paul, just down the road from where this ROH card took place.You can watch this match at ROH’s web site which I’ve linked here. Look for me at ring side, I'm the one in the red shirt.

PTW Bloomington, MN 4/27/2012

Prime Time Wrestling was back at the Bloomington Knights of Columbus for their monthly show this past Friday night.

The first contest of the night was an arm wrestling match between The Brauler and El Bano. The contest ended when The Brauler poked El Bano in the eye. I think The Brauler was really intimidated by El Bano’s Over the Top hat. Some guy from the I.N.S. came in to the ring to announce that El Bano did not have a green card so he was taking El Bano back to Mexico. The PTW commissioner got in the ring and asked the I.N.S. guy if he could pay El Bano’s bond to keep him in the country until next months card when they will have a looser get deported match.
Magic Man defeated Chris Dorrian after Dorrian hit his head on the ceiling beam.
Magic Man thought that his match with Dorrian was so easy he challenged the next wrestler who walked out of the locker room. Magic Man was so confident that he could beat anyone that he said he would cut off his hair if he lost. Mitch Paradise was the next wrestler to walk out. Magic Man changed his mind about wrestling Paradise right then but said he would wrestle him next month if Paradise beat The Executioner. Paradise did beat The Executioner by tap out.
The Black Stallion defeated Robbie Thunder with Lilly. Thunder got some help from Lilly but she got a little too involved while she was on the ring apron when The Black Stallion pushed Thunder into her.
PTW champion Lenny Lane pinned Renny D. Lanes feet were on the ropes and ref Rob Page did not see it. Page should really go to a doctor to get his eyes checked.
