CAN MARION FONTAINE BACK UP BIG WORDS AGAINST HACKSAW JIM DUGGAN?
www.PWOwrestling.com
In the fall of 2007, as Pro Wrestling Ohio came into formation, “Megastar” Marion Fontaine was one of the first men to join this soon-to-be elite roster of young dreamers looking for glory. With his colorful trunks, funky music, ample mustache, and loud, colorful personality, Fontaine was immediately looked at as the feel-good, light-hearted, entertaining member of the PWO roster. Someone who can make you forget your problems, suppress your concerns, and enjoy his unique style and undeniable presence.
As time went on, Fontaine was clearly a hit within PWO, and amongst the fans, so Fontaine’s already ample personality was built upon even further. With the addition of characters like Macho Grosh, Noj the Samoan, and Kid Cupid, “Fontaine’s Freaks” was born, a collection of social outcasts and sideshow-like attractions that brought a very different element to pro wrestling TV, and was heralded by many as among the promotion’s most entertaining staples.
However, towards the end of 2009, Fontaine’s Freaks had seemingly run its course. Personal, family, and health issues led to the departure of all of Marion Fontaine’s sidekicks, leaving “The Megastar” a man alone. Though rather than move on and embark on a new chapter in his career, Fontaine decided to dwell on the past. Apparently channeling months of building anger and frustration, Fontaine delivered several very public, scathing, and unprofessional tirades toward PWO management, questioning them for their “genius marketing ideas” and for taking the best wrestling in PWO, himself, and saddling him with a group of freaks Fontaine claims to have never wanted anything to do with. Fontaine has publicly insulted and defamed PWO as a whole, not to mention everyone in it. Fontaine has taken the past three years of effort and sacrifice by PWO in investing their time in him and re-payed it with nothing but scorn and malice. Promising to expose the lies and the wrongs perpetrated by PWO, Fontaine has cried “conspiracy theory” and has convinced himself PWO is denying him opportunities because of the way he looks or acts. But one rant too many against Pro Wrestling Ohio and those in it may have led to Fontaine sealing his own fate.
“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan is one of the most beloved, revered stars of all time. With his trademark 2x4, American flag, and shout of “Hoooooooooo!”, few have built up such a rapport with their fans than Hacksaw. Originally rising to prominence in Bill Watts’ Mid-South Wrestling promotion, Duggan debuted with the World Wrestling Federation in 1987 and almost immediately rose to become one of their most popular attractions. Memorable battles with men such as Andre the Giant and Ted DiBiase, as well as anti-American such as Iron Sheik and Dino Bravo only added to this man’s appeal. In 1994, Duggan migrated to WCW, not losing a step, and even pinning Steve Austin to win the WCW United States Title. In the late 1990s, Duggan began a battle of another kind, as he was stricken with stomach cancer. Undeterred, Duggan used the same fighting spirit he had demonstrated all his career, to not only beat the cancer completely, but make a full comeback to professional wrestling, including a number of matches and appearances in the WWE throughout the past several years.
On Sunday afternoon, August 1st, “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan takes this same competitive spirit with him into Pro Wrestling Ohio. After meeting all of his great Cleveland fans, “Hacksaw” will bring his 30 year career filled with tradition, patriotism, and pride into battle against a career now filled with selfishness, paranoia, and ego on Marion Fontaine. If Fontaine can defeat this timeless legend, all his claims could be held as true, and he will catapult to the top of Pro Wrestling Ohio. But what becomes of Marion Fontaine if he doesn’t succeed? Where will his next step be if his chance to prove he is the best in PWO ends up unsuccessful? It’s “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan vs. “Megastar” Marion Fontaine in a pivotal moment for both men THIS Sunday at the Nautica Pavilion at PWO Wrestlelution 3!
PWO Wrestlelution 3: A Defining Moment is THIS Sunday at the Nautica Pavilion, 2014 Sycamore St, in downtown Cleveland, Ohio! Gates open at 2:00 pm with a belltime of 3:00 pm! Tickets are available at www.PWOwrestling.com/catalog or www.ticketmaster.com, All Ticketmaster outlets, The Nautica Pavilion, Pit Stop Donuts, and Crazy Dee’s Music. There will be nine stellar matches featuring “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, Raven, all the PWO stars, and live music courtesy of Relic. Portions of proceeds will go toward the Cleveland Athletic League. You’ve seen our beginnings, experienced our coming of age, now this Sunday, experience our defining moment as a company, it may be your defining moment as a fan! |

KRIMSON vs. SUPER HENTAI - THE FATE OF WRESTLING’s FUTURE DECIDED
www.PWOwrestling.com
Once, not too long ago, in a land not too far away, lived a man named Conrad Kennedy III. Privileged by nature, cocky by choice, this young athlete rose to prominence as one of the Midwest’s premiere standout athletes. Receiving praise and adulation from peers and superiors alike, the man dubbed “CK3” spent years competing against some of professional wrestling’s most well-known rising stars, and most timeless legends. While all roads pointed to a life of prosperity and glory, the proverbial rollercoaster began to turn south, and a startling transformation was about to unfold.
As time progressed, many of those rising Midwest stars hit new peaks and plateaus in their careers. Many were signed to contracts with global wrestling promotions. Some toured overseas and became international superstars. Some found happiness away from wrestling, and began a new journey as a husband and father. Through all the change, one man remained. As others moved on and progressed, CK3 was left wondering what was next. Seemingly overlooked by all the dreams he had chased for years, a new feeling started to form deep within the inner-reaches of Conrad Kennedy. A feeling of loathing, of disdain, or misery. A feeling of a lifelong ambition tarnished, dreams broken, aspirations turned to dust, a feeling of constant and unwavering sacrifice being rewarded with an eternal emptiness. It was within this feeling that the man we know as Krimson was born.
As time went on, the feeling increased, it grew more powerful, to the level of consumption. Now, the evil and hatred and dark borderline-demonic side had grown stronger than his prior identity. This man had become overtaken by a vile sense of loathing, and a disturbing love of the macabre. With that, PWO was about to be overtaken as well. Dark, foreboding, and ominous messages began to surface on PWO TV, from a mysterious man, cloaked in darkness and face paint, speaking in riddles and bringing impending doom. Once he arrived, spraying an ominous red liquid from his lips, he carried out every threat that was made. Young men were beaten, battered, and bloodied. Bones were broken, examples were made, and the careers and lives of several young athletes were derailed, either temporarily or permanently by Krimson’s vengeful acts. The mission was clear - to destroy the hopes and dreams of wrestling’s next generation, just as he feels the wrestling business had destroyed his. One by one, opponents cowered at the sight of a man who cared not about wins, losses, or titles, but only about leaving a lasting impression of agony and misery.
Super Hentai - a 12 year veteran who has seen as many years, miles, and wars as Krimson. Trained in Hayabusa, Japan, Hentai stresses a level of respect, control, and discipline that comes with the Japanese culture and style. Hentai treats professional wrestling as an art form, a sport, and a sacred ground. Throughout tours of Japan & Hawaii, countless regional titles, and matches against everyone from AJ Styles to CM Punk over the years, Hentai has remained consistently one of the tri-state area’s best competitors. Outside of competing, Hentai has been very active as a trainer and mentor to young aspiring wrestling stars as well. Men such as Michael “The Bomber” Façade, and countless others, have looked toward Hentai for guidance, moral support, advice, and knowledge. Hentai has worked tirelessly to help make sure wrestling’s next generation is poised to equal or surpass the level men like he himself have reached, and to ensure professional wrestling will thrive for many years to come.
It was not surprising when Hentai became the first man to vehemently speak out against the actions of Krimson and his path of destruction. However, many were surprised when Hentai went far enough to seek out Krimson in the catacombs of the building and confront him face-to-face. Each man traded games of one-ups-man-ship with one another physically and verbally, before Hentai finally issued a challenge to Krimson to fight him at PWO Wrestlelution 3. Krimson was more than willing to accept the challenge, seemingly taunting Hentai by producing a crudely-made makeshift Hentai mask that Krimson placed on his opponents, and even set on fire, burning it to ashes, a clear symbolism of what he’d like to do to Super Hentai and his legacy.
Sunday afternoon, August 1st, PWO Wrestlelution 3 plays host to two athletes with a stark contrast of viewpoints. One man wants to help professional wrestling grow and prosper, one man is intent on destroying it and all who are within it. A glimpse into our futures may reside within this match. Perhaps the only way Hentai can successfully protect the future of PWO’s young stars is to physically remove the growing cancerous entity inside it known as Krimson. Or will Hentai endure his own personal fiery hell and be reduced to dust… like the mask?
