Heavy On Wrestling held an event in a new venue, Grandma's Sports Garden, this past Thursday night in Duluth, MN. Also new for HOW was a custom made title belt. The belts middle piece has the words "Undisputed champion" and "Heavy On Wrestling". The the two pieces next to the middle has the Minnesota state outline.

David Sabick presented the new HOW title belt to HOW champion Benjamin Sailer. Mitch Paradise came out to challenge Sailer for the title.

Nikki Mayday & Heavy D defeated Ann Brookstone & Heather Zumhofe in an inter gender tag team match. I thought Heavy D would have changed out of his tux for this match but he did not.

Mitch Paradise w/The High Rollers (Mago & STX) defeated Brody Hoofer. With the High Rollers getting involved as much as they did Hoofer really didn't stand a chance against Paradise.

"Wild" Bill Irwin & "Rock N Roll" Buck Zumhofe defeated Shimdog & Horace the Psychopath.

The next match was called "Tag Team Turmoil" which was pretty much a tag team gauntlet match. The first two teams were The Barking Spiders, Clutch & Ox and The Northstar Express, Darin Corbin & Ryan Cruz. The Northstar Express got the win when ref Rob Page DQed The Barking Spiders for using a chair. The chair was never actually used but Page still called for the DQ.

The next team up in the gauntlet was Heavy D & Nikki Mayday. While Heavy D was distracted with fans at ring side Darin Corbin hit Mayday and got the 3 count on her.

Up next for Darin Corbin and Ryan Cruz were Cpl. Julio Julio & "The Law" Mark Barker. Julio and Barker got the win to move on in the gauntlet match.

F1rst Wrestling returned to their home base, First Ave, this past Saturday for an event titled "Holiday Havok". It was cold outside as well as inside the night club.
In the opening match Udo defeated "Playboy" Pete Huge. After the match Huge left his manager/valet Allison Wonderland.

Horace the Psychopath came out and demanded that Arya Daivari come out for a match. Daivari came out but said Horace first had to beat the 5-0 to get a match with him. Horace pinned both Rob Justice and Mark Barker to get a match with Daivari.

Venom defeated The Prophet.

"6% Body Fat" Rob James came out and issued his '6% challenge. This time the challenge was a pose down. Answering that challenge was Black Hogan! After two poses James attacked Hogan. This was only Hogans second time in the ring.

Arik Cannon came out to save Black Hogan and that lead to the next match. Rob James defeated Cannon after Cannon missed his glimmering warlock. James continued to punish Cannon after the bell so Black Hogan came back out to give James the big boot and leg drop combo.

Arya Daivari came out and talked about how bad Christmas is. This brought out Santa Claus and his ginger bread man helper. Santa and GBM toss presents out to the crowd then Santa gave a present to Daivari. The present was a chain with a dog collier on each end and it was from Horace. After Daivari but his collier on Santa revealed that he was really Horace and the next match started.

Arya Daivari defeated Horace the Psychopath in a dog collier match. Referee Ricky Reed stopped the match because Horace was bleeding too much. Blood was actually streaming from his forehead like a fountain. That was probably the grossest thing I ever saw in a pro wrestling match. Referee Rob Page came out and re stared the match and Daivari won this time with a roll up.

There was a thousand dollars on the line in a TLC match between the Northstar Express and Midwest Ground & Air. After Nate Bash put Ryan Cruz through a table on the outside of the ring and Benjamin Sailer put Darin Corbin through a table inside the ring Sailer climbed the ladder and took down the case with a thousand dollars in it. Bash & Sailer tossed some of their winners in to the crowd.

F1rst Wrestling Minneapolis, MN 3/20/2009

F1rst Wrestling returned to First Ave in downtown Minneapolis, MN with a card named Minneapolis Massacre. I missed the last F1rst Wrestling card that was held at the West St. Paul Armory at the end of January as I was on vacation.

Heavy On Wrestling brought in the Iron Sheik for an autograph/photo session before the first bell and at intermission. The Iron Sheik got on the house mic at intermission and told the fans what he thought of Hulk Hogan.
In the opening match The Junk Squad defeated 101 Proof in a tag team contest. As you can see in the photo here Pete Huge of the Junk Squad got some help from his valet Allison Wonderland. Venom was pinned by Huge after Wonderland kicked him in the balls. Huge was suppose to wrestler two roller derby girls after one of them hit him in the balls last time at First Ave but the roller derby girls could not appear at F1rst Wrestling by orders of their league officials. Something about roller derby being above pro wrestling.
In the next match Udo defeated The Prophet, Pierre Abernathy and Gary J in a 4 man match. This was my first time seeing Abernathy and J. I believe they came up from the St. Louis area.
Brody Hoofer defeated Thoruf Marius in a falls count anywhere match. There were no introductions for this match as the wrestlers started fighting back stage. These two big men took this match all over First Ave, the even went into the woman's bathroom. Hoofer finished off Marius with two chair shots to the head and a body slam on the stage.
In the battle of former friends Arik Cannon defeat Cody O'Neill. After his lose O'Neill challenged Cannon to more more match. That match will be O'Niell's last match ever. O'Neill has some nagging injuries so he wants to hang up his boots for good.
Midwest Ground & Air kept their unbeaten in Minnesota streak alive by once again defeating Northstar Express. Towards the end of the match Nate Bash climbed off of Darin Corbin's shoulders and on the the the stairways. From there Bash jumped down on to Corbin and Ryan Cruz.
The main event on this night was an Extreme rules match between Rob James and Horace the Psychopath. This was a very brutal match with thumb tacks, barb wire baseball bats, barb wire chairs and a flaming table. Well, it would have had the flaming table if they hadn't used a fire proof table. After trying to lite the table on fire unsuccessfully Horace put a barb wire wrapped chair on the table and power bombed James through it to get the 3 count. This was a very bloody and brutal match.

F1rst Wrestling Minneapolis, MN 1/9/2009

After a four months F1rst Wrestling returned to First Ave in downtown Minneapolis this past Friday night with a card titled 'Enter Sandman'. With a name like that it can mean only one thing, an appearance by former ECW champion Sandman.
In the first match of the card the New Generation defeated the Northstar Express. These two teams have had many matches in the past as they have fueded since 2004. After Aaron Corbin and Cody O'Neill hit the move in this photo O'Neill pinned Ryan Cruz.
Venom pinned Udo after a muscle buster like move.

Rob James challeneged 'any fat slob in the building'. Instead of some fat slob some skinny farmer guy answered James' challenge. SFG didn't stand much of a chance against James as James got the 3 count on him in just a few minutes.
After beating SFG Rob James called for another challenger. Kamikaze Klecker came out to accept that challenge. Klecker got the win over James after a moonsault.
Midwest Ground & Air defeated The Junk Squad. Right before this match Jaw Braker and Tiki Torture, two members of the Minnesota Roller Girls, came to the ring to promote there up coming event. The Junk Squad came to the ring and Pete Huge got on the mic and told the Roller Girls to get out of the ring. Nate Bash & Benjamin Sailer then came out to start the match. As Sailer and Chris Jordan fought out side the ring Huge hit Bash with a low blow. It looked like the Midwest Ground & Air MN undefeated streak would end on this night. Rollergirl Jaw Breaker got in the ring and gave Huge a low blow. Bash rolled Huge up and got the 3 count.

HOW Superior, WI 11/15/2008

Last Saturday night Heavy On Wrestling presented 'Have a Funkin' Nice Day' at the Mertz Mortorelli Gym on the University Wisconsin Superior campus. This card featured two hard core legends, 3 former WWE wrestlers, a former WWE diva, a former ROH champion, a former WCW womans wrestler and many of the top wrestlers from Minnesota.
In the opening match Nate Bash defeated Austin AriesMikey of the Spirit Squad defeated Dickie Rodz by tap out. This was my first time seeing both of those guys. Rodz looked a lot like Bret Hart with his pink and black tights and long dark hair.
Cherry defeated Ann Brookstone and Daffney in a womans 3 way dance. Heavy D refed this match while drinking beer! Cherry got the three count when she pinned Brookstone.
Arya Daivari defeated Brody Hoofer, Joey Envy and Venom in a tables elimination 4 way match for the #1 contender to the HOW championship. The tables in this match were some of the toughest tables I've ever seen. It took two spears from Hoofer to put 300 pound Venom through the table. With Envy eliminated Daivari tried to win the match with a magic carpet ride with Hoofer on the table but the table didn't break. All it did was injure Daivari's arm. Daivari was able to win as he pushed Hoofer off the ring apron on to a table but that took two tries as well.

The Highlanders defeated the Northstar Express.
The Black Stallion defeated Thoruf Marius when Bad Boy Brian turned on Marius and gave him a low blow.
For the main event HOW brought in Mick Foley and Terry Funk as special guest referees for the first HOW championship match. Before the match started Foley asked that the wrestlers give the refs a reason to get physically involved in the match as he was sure that the fans didn't come to see him and Funk just be referees.
Benjamin Sailer defeated Arik Cannon to win the HOW championship. Cannon gave both Funk and Foley plenty of reason to get physical during the match. The Northstar Express came out to help Cannon but Foley and Funk chased them to the back. While the refs were busy Cannon gave Sailer a ddt on the ramp way and that made Sailer bleed so much he had a crimson mask. After an appearance by Mr Socko Sailer hit a german suplex for the three count.
