PRIME TV airs every Sunday at 10PM on SportsTime Ohio with recent episodes showcased on Youtube.com/PRIMEwrestlingTV Here's what's on tap for the next new episode...
PRIME Champion Krimson vs. Rickey Shane Page When Commissioner Vic Travagliante assumed power, he immediately gained grandiose visions... such as a supergroup aligning The Megalomaniacs & Dead Wrestling Society. When that involved Krimson surrendering the PRIME Title & all of his own macabre visions for it, talks broke down and FAST. Vic responded by immediately deeming Rickey Shane Page the #1 contender and granting him a championship match. These are two of the most physical athletes PRIME has ever seen, and both have an uncharacteristically high tolerance for pain. What must these two men do to one another to keep the other down with something as prestigious as the PRIME Championship at stake?? This will be a match not soon forgotten by anyone who witnesses it.
PRIME TV Championship: Facade vs. Matthew Justice The now-ironically dubbed "One Man Militia" has been rewarded quite handsomely for allowing The Megalomaniacs to assume power at "Pressure Rising" -- including being deemed #1 contender to the TV Title. Sensing a pattern here? Facade has now usurped his predecessor as longest reigning TV Champion in history, but with an entire crooked regime against him, could those days be numbered? Facade has always marched to the beat of his own drum and, more often than not, seen great success from it. Will it happen here? And what is this yet-to-be-revealed "signing bonus" Justice received upon joining The Megalomaniacs??
Nicki Valentino vs. Aiden Veil Valentino was sent to find Krimson on PRIME TV #181 and... let's just say that didn't work out so well. It's back to the drawing board for Mr. "Old School Muscle" as far as trying to impress his boss and gain membership to The Megalomaniacs. How will Valentino fare against 21-year-old upstart Aiden Veil? Still a PRIME rookie, Veil has seen his stock rise after a recent win over Bobby Shields and tough battle with The Dead Wrestling Society. Can Aiden add to his resume or will Valentino start to build his bridge to Megalomania?
Plus: "World's Most Huggable Wrestler" Bryan Castle in action; We hear from The Handicapped Heroes Gregory Iron & Zach Gowen, The Sons of Michigan, "THE BEV" Bobby Beverly and more!

Legendary Tennessee wrestling promoter Jerry Jarrett returns to Charlotte next month to induct the Rock-n-Roll Express, Midnight Express and Jim Cornette into the Hall of Heroes.
The former wrestler-turned-promoter ran the Memphis territory when Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson were paired together and formed one of the most popular tag teams in the history of wrestling. He also made Cornette a manager a while after his mother, Christine Jarrett, had started him in wrestling as a photographer and ring announcer.
"Jerry Jarrett opened wrestling in Louisville," said Cornette. "In doing so, he was directly responsible for me becoming a fan, even before I ever dreamed of being in the wrestling business. He is a booking legend. We all spent years learning the business in his company."
The sixth-annual Hall of Heroes dinner and awards ceremony takes place Friday night, August 2 at the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Fanfest Weekend in Charlotte.
Others to be honored for their lifetime accomplishments include Magnum T.A., Les Thatcher, Danny Miller and Lars Anderson.
The awards ceremony follows a wonderful dinner buffet that begins at 6 p.m. Many of the honorees, presenters, and featured guests from the weekend will be on hand to share in this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
This event has sold out each of the previous four years. Very few seats remain for this year's dinner and awards ceremony, so get your tickets now if you want to be part of this memorable evening.
One of the all-time greats, referee Tommy Young will again be on hand to meet and greet fans at next month's Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Fanfest Weekend in Charlotte.
Regarded as one of the best to ever don the stripes, the veteran of more than two decades inside the squared circle looks forward to seeing everyone in Charlotte.
In addition to Young, other featured guests to recently confirm their appearances in Charlotte include Tommy Angel, The Assassin, Susan Green, Rocky and Don Kernodle, Moondog Rex (Randy Colley,) and Bill and Randy Mulkey.
PRO WRESTLING STAR "M-DOGG 20" MATT CROSS TO APPEAR ON NBC's "AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR" THIS WEEK
Matt Cross is quite possibly the most widely-known, well-traveled and successful U.S.-based pro wrestler to never have a full-time contract with a national wrestling organization.
Matt's conquering of professional wrestling & reality television continue this week, as Matt is scheduled to appear on the NBC reality series "American Ninja Warrior", a series which challenges people from around the world to complete a physically challenging, complex, and grueling obstacle course of unique stunts to win a grand prize of $500,000 and the honor of being called American Ninja Warrior. The website states you need "courage, determination, and heart" to succeed, all qualities Matt certainly has an abundance of.
The genesis of Matt's story comes long before he entered a wrestling ring. As a junior gymnastics champion, Matt Capiccioni was performing feats of athleticism that left many in awe. Over the next 14 years and counting, he was able to transition skills such as these into an amazingly successful wrestling career which has seen stints in Ring of Honor, Pro Wrestling NOAH, Xtreme Pro Wrestling, and MTV's Wrestling Society X. Matt has been the focal point of retail DVDs, been a character in a video game, and also competed in 17 different countries, from Egypt to Russia to performing on Hulk Hogan's 2009 tour of Australia. In 2011, Matt was named one of the cast members of WWE & USA Network's Tough Enough reality series. While many feel Matt was victimized by selective editing in the series, his appearance only strengthened his fan-base and loyal supporters. Matt currently continues to compete around the country and abroad, including PRIME Wrestling in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio.
"American Ninja Warrior" is set to air two episodes this coming week - Sunday night at 9:00PM on the G4 Network, and Monday night at 8:00 PM on NBC. It's not yet known which episode will feature Matt (both episodes will recap the Baltimore, MD try-outs Matt was a part of), so be sure to check out both airings!
