For months now Ashton Amherst has been claiming
that he is the 'Best In Pittsburgh' and now has
added gold around his waist after defeating
champion JR Mega and Mad Mike in a three way
dance to win the PWX Brass Knuckles
Championship.
Amherst has been dominating PWX in recent
months, not by wins and losses, but by the
amount of attacks he and his own army 'The
Overlooked New Youth Movement' have conducted.
Top PWX star after top PWX star have been
subject to an attack as Amherst has successfully
created the chaos he has been seeking.
Now with gold around his waist once again,
Ashton has stated that he will take a boring
championship like the Brass Knuckles Title and
make it the most sought after title, not only in
PWX, but all of Pittsburgh!
The main event at The
Wrestleplex this past Saturday saw two of the
most popular wrestlers in Pro Wrestling eXpress
today Brandon K and Heavyweight Champion Stryder
deliver in a huge way!
PWX Heavyweight
Champion Stryder was seeking the chance to croos
the 1 year mark as champion, but he had a very
tough test in former three time heavyweight
champion Brandon K. K was the winner of Burgh
Brawl 16 thus earning the title shot as a
result.
K and Stryder put on
what many are saying was a wrestling clinic as
the two men proved why only PWX can deliver the
biggest bang for ther best price. These two men
went move for move and counter for counter for
over ten minutes as the crowd was chanting K's
name for half of the match and Stryder's name
for the other half. People were literally on the
edge of their seats as it appeared each man had
the other defeated only to see each man come b
ack for more again and again!
Ultimately, the match
saw a shady ending as the entire Steele Corp hit
the ring and attacked both men. Steele Corp
leader BC Steele boldly proclaimed that his men
were now all equally focused on bring the PWX
Heavyweight Title to Steele Corp as well as
ending the legend that is Brandon K in PWX.
Steele has publicly shown his despisal of K's
loyalty to Pro Wrestling eXpress saying that he
does not 'get' the fans infatuation with K only
being able to be seen in a PWX ring. The
interesting part of this is the fact that BC
Steele and his entire Steele Corp can also only
be seen in PWX in the entire Pittsburgh area.
Anyone who missed the
classic contest between Stryder and Brandon K
surely missed what type of top notch homegrown
talent PWX has to offer. This saw a battle
scarred veteran like Brandon K against a true
young star in Stryder in a perfect mix of past
and present.

Pro Wrestling eXpress
returns to The Wrestleplex (2125 Beacon Street,
McKeesport, PA 15132) on Saturday, April 14th
with a belltime of 7:30pm.
This is the final event before the huge Burgh
Brawl event and this is sure to be a wild and
intense night as rivalries, vendettas, and
championship races all come to a head!!
Ashton Amherst and Mad Mike each finally get
their shot at the PWX Heavyweight Title against
champion Stryder as it was Scottie Gash who
threw a monkey wrench into the title match at
the last event with some underhanded tactics.
Now, who will walk into Burgh Brawl the PWX
Heavyweight Champion?? Will Scottie Gash try
anything new to get under Stryder's skin?
Current PWX Brass Knuckles Champion JR Mega will
face Brandon K as their rival counterparts will
face one another in a match as well as Jason
Cage will meet Ryan Reign. Cage and Mega have
been embroiled in an ally/rival feud that has
Cage seeking a shot at winning the Brass
Knuckles Title while Mega has everyone totally
confused as to what he is going to do next...
Meanwhile, K and Reign are in a bitter feud that
is sure to explode this Saturday night!!! Will
these two matches intertwine as heated rivalries
come to a head??
Crusher Hansen has now gone through two members
of Steele Corp enroute to his getting his hands
on former manager BC Steele and now he seems to
have even shown one of Steele Corp's members the
light as Jack Pollock has defied his peers and
boss BC Steele and now has been hearing The
Wrestleplex filled with chants of "Jack". This
Saturday will see Crusher and Jack face off
against two of the top members of Steele Corp in
Dash Bennett, the man who turned his back on
Crusher months ago, and current PWX Three Rivers
Champion Chris LeRusso (the self-proclaimed Mr.
Wrestlepex). Can Crusher get through two more
members of Steele Corp and continue his quest to
get his hands on BC Steele? Can Crusher trust
Jack Pollock?
The monster Dean Radford is now a huge fan
favorite!! How? His ability to slam the 450lb
monster himself Shane Taylor followed by his
near destruction of PWX Three Rivers Champion
Chris LeRusso amd finally his ability to nearly
stand up to 5 men from the youth movement known
as O.N.Y.M.. Now Radford will step into the ring
against Ashton Amherst's right hand man Payton
Graham. Graham has not been pinned since
beginning his singles career last October and
now has the backing of the only true youth
movement in the enitre area.... the O.N.Y.M..
Can Radford be the first to pin Graham? Or will
the O.N.Y.M. make all the difference yet again
and lay out another one of PWX's best?
It was Scottie Gash who laid out his own partner
The Blue Dragon in the Lethal Lottery tag team
tourney back in early March. Now Gash returns to
PWX after a month long absence and he has to be
looking to cause even more chaos than previously
before as he wants his Heavyweight Title shot
with the stipulation of his choosing. The
Championship Committee will not yield to Gash
and chaos has ensued. Now The Blue Dragon has
signed the contract to face Gash to attempt to
exact some retribution for Gash's actions at The
Lethal Lottery. Will Dragon gain revenge? or
will Gash continue to hold PWX events hostage
with his unpredictability?
Shirley Doe and Apollyon(The Order Of Total
Oblivion) have been on a patch of destruction in
recent months having injured Tony Hansen, thus
eliminating the team of The Hansen Brothers, The
2nd Blue Dragon, thus eliminating the team of
Double Dragon, Paul Atlas and Troy Lords, thus
eliminating that entire team, and Big Poppa
Gator, currently one-half of the tag-team
champions. Gator has not been seen in PWX for
awhile now and rumors are rampant that Gator may
have suffered a career ending injury at the
hands of Doe and Apollyon. The tag team titles
are still around the waists of The Iron City
Monsters(Beast and Gator) thanks to Beast
stepping it up and some assists from old friends
and some leadway at the hands of Championship
Committee member Quinn Magnum. But now, it is
defend or lose the titles time for the Monsters.
Whether the Monsters show up or not, the titles
will be on the line meaning that Doe and
Apollyon could possibly become champions without
even having a match. The MOnsters are two of the
most popular wrestlers in PWX today as they
strike fear in everyone they face, but they have
been very quiet regarding Gator. Can The
Monsters shut all the rumors and defend the
titles successfully? or will Doe and Apollyon
win their second tag titles as a team?
Dont forget this Saturday, April 14th with a
7:30pm belltime at The Wrestleplex(2125 Beacon
Street, McKeesport, PA 15132) is 'When Worlds'
Collide"!! Check out www.prowrestlingexpress.com
for all the latest info!
Next up is the 8th installment of our post-event
feature, "After The Bell". The latest episode
features the stars of PWX discussing what
happened at March 17th's "St. Patrick's Day
Destruction" event,
and the upcoming "The Ides of March"
event on March 31st!
Next up, BC Steele and Jack Pollock sit down for
a pow-wow at a local eatery...
It was over a week ago we announced that fans
will now be able to choose the stipulations for
Brass Knuckles Title Matches in the future. The
first of which will take place this Saturday
night, March 31st! Brass Knuckles Champion JR
Mega will defend his title against Jason Cage,
and you, the fans, will have the opportunity to
choose the stipulation right here on
prowrestlingexpress.com! You can vote here
below, on our main page, or on the "Events" page
under the Brass Knuckles Title match!
The PWX Brass Knuckles Title has always been a
championship that has featured a stipulation to
it, making it a truly unique championship within
Pro Wrestling eXpress for the past 12 years.
For years, the champion was allowed to name the
stipulation to his own title match. Just last
year, and one other time in the past, the title
went under 24/7 rules.
Once 2012 began, it was promised that the PWX
Championship Committee would add new rules to
the title in how the championship is defended.
The Championship Committee has announced the new
rule and current champion JR Mega was informed
of this new rule after the last live event.
Beginning on the Saturday, March 31st live
event, at The Wrestleplex (2125 Beacon Street,
McKeesport, PA 15132...belltime 7:30pm), the PWX
Brass Knuckles Title will be defended by a
stipulation chosen by the FANS!! Fans will be
able to go our website at
www.prowrestlingexpress.com and vote on the
stipulation they wish to see the Brass Knuckles
Title defended with.
JR Mega has been said to be furious over the
fact that his fate could be decided by the fans.
You can vote for the stipulation at
www.prowrestlingexpress.com beginning in the
next couple of days, so be sure to keep checking
in and cast your vote!

the issues today.
Next up is the 7th installment of our post-event

6th
installment on YouTube! In this episode, The
Order of Total Oblivion map out their plan for
PWX, Dash Bennett wants to end Jason Cage's
career, Dean Radford talks PWX history, and
Benjamin C. Steele gets serious!
Also in the latest episode of "After The Bell",
we see Ashton Amherst on the phone with someone.
He mentions how PWX Tag Team Champions Gator &
Beast, the Iron City Monsters, stuck their nose
into his business as he attacked Klubber
Korbelic with his bat. In respose to that,
Amherst challenged them to a match, and hired
"Notorious" Shane Taylor as his back-up! Will we
see new PWX Tag Champs? How will the monsterous
Gator & Beast deal with somebody equally as
monsterous and twice as mean in Shane Taylor?
In a related note,
we are aware of the issues with our front page,
and are working to get it resolved immediately.
It seems every time the PWX Web Staff removes
the video, it is placed back in the same spot.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may
cause.
We're back with Episode
7 of "The eXpress Lane"
with Marcus Mann, the official Podcast of Pro
Wrestling eXpress!

Extravaganza Night" event!

If that wasn't enough, PWX's event wrap-up show,
"After The Bell" is now available with it's 5th
installment on YouTube! In this episode, Blue
Dragon gives his thoughts on Shirley Doe,
Photo-Op and System Elite have words after their
tag match, and much more!
We have the final 3
matches to announce for Saturday's big "Fan
Extravaganza Night" at the PWX Wrestleplex!
A huge tag team match has been signed as Ryan
Reign & Chris LeRusso of SteeleCorp will take on
PWX Heavyweight Champion Stryder and Crusher
Hansen. After February Fury 2012, Hansen is
itching to get his hands on SteeleCorp. For
weeks, Benjamin C. Steele claimed he had Crusher
in his back pocket once again. Instead, it
turned out to be a ruse all to get into the head
of Hansen while Dash Bennett was in fact the man
joining the group. In joining the group, Bennett
and the rest of SteeleCorp laid Hansen out in
the middle of the ring. Meanwhile, Stryder's had
his hands full with SteeleCorp as well. At
FebFury, Stryder took on Reign. Earlier in the
evening, Reign & SteeleCorp took Stryder out as
well, but he was able to overcome the odds and
defeat Reign in the main event. Soon after,
Stryder was attacked by a group of young
athletes including Payton Graha, Photo Op, and
System Elite. Will that have any bearing on this
match, or Stryder's condition going into it?
In what is sure to be a violent battle, PWX Tag
Team Champions the Iron City Monsters will
defend the titles against the Shirley Doe
Experience! At February Fury, Gator was
apparently taken out by Doe & Apollyon, as well
as Troy Lords & Paul Atlas, as seen in a clip on
the latest "After The Bell". As a result, he was
sent to the hospital, just like Blue Dragon #2
and Tony Hansen before him. Doe & Apollyon have
strewn injured bodies along their warpath, but
Beast & Gator will not go down without a fight!
Who will emerge with the Tag Team Titles after
this extreme encounter?
In a first time ever match, Dean Radford will
take on PWX Three Rivers Champion "First Klass"
Brandon K! Radford has only had 2 matches in PWX
thus far, and both times he has proven to be a
force to be reckoned with. He bullied Jimmy
Nutts and threw him around the Wrestleplex like
a ragdoll. At February Fury, he attacked Chris
Taylor from behind. How will Radford react when
he's across the ring from Brandon K for the
first time ever? And what kind of condition will
K be in after what he's had to endure the last
few events? In January, he was thrown off the
stage through a table. At February Fury, he was
attacked by Chris LeRusso during his match with
Ashton Amherst. Will he be at 100% for his match
with Radford? And how will this effect his 30
minute Iron Man Match with LeRusso next weekend?
Cost to attend the 'PWX Fan Extravaganza Night'
event is only $2.00!! OR you can receive FREE
ADMISSION if you pay for your ticket in

Pro Wrestling eXpress'
huge "Fan Extravaganza Night" will take place
THIS Saturday Night, February 18th 2012 at 7:30
PM! Three more big matches have been announced
for this special night!
Payton Graham will take on the popular Blue
Dragon!
Graham has come out show after show placing his
picture on the wall next to all of the PWX
'Circle Of Respect' (PWX's local version of the
hall of fame) claiming that he belongs in the
COR and will take his picture down only after
someone is able to pin his shoulders to the mat
for a 3 count. So far, no-one has done that as
Graham has faced the likes of Jay Flash, Jack
Pollock, Crusher Hansen, Ryan Mitchell, Jimmy
Nutts, and Jon Burton. Only the returning Jason
Cage has been able to gain a win over Graham and
that was via a countout. Now how will Graham
fair against the masked Blue Dragon who has had
alot of success in a PWX ring?
Blue Dragon is a tough competitor that has
enjoyed a win streak nearly a year long in years
past as well as reigning as the Three Rivers
Champion. He has wrestled mainly in tag-teams in
recent years having won the tag titles with
fellow BLue Dragon 2 as a part of Doouble Dragon
and most recently with the upstart rocker
youngster Travis Fame. Dragon has the tools to
beat Graham, so it begs the question of Can
Dragon be the man to finally shut Payton Graham
up?
This big triple threat match will feature
Scottie Gash v Dash Bennett v Jason Cage. All
three men involved in the match have had their
own PWX headlines in recent weeks as Gash has
boycotted his own Heavyweight Title Match at the
last event and it is rumored that he has been
ordered to wrestle on this event by the
Championship Committee, including Krystal Frost.
Gash has proven in the past that he can be a
real problem both in and out of the ring when he
is forced to do something his ego takes a
bruising on.
Dash Bennett has stated for months that Crusher
Hansen was turning his back on the fans when all
along it was Bennett who was the man doing the
turning. Bennett tried to drag Hansen's
reputation through the mud to the point that
Crusher blindly agreed to a tag-team match at
the last show that ended up being a total setup.
Bennett is now proudly a member of Steele Corp
and is once again going by the moniker 'Greatest
American Villain' after turning his back on all
of the PWX fans.
Jason Cage just made his return to PWX at the
last event and has now stated that he will
wrestle for PWX exclusively in the Pittsburgh
area. Cage made a big return by being the first
man to place a stumbling block in front of
Payton Graham's quest to be a part of the
'Circle of Respect' by not being pinned in any
of his matches. Cage appreared to have the
pinfall when Graham left the ring and the match
taking a countout loss. Cage also has made it a
point to declare war on Steele Corp making it a
very impactful return to PWX for sure.
For the first time in several years, JB Destiny
will be in singles action in PWX for "Fan
Extravaganza Night"! His opponent that night
will be PWX Brass Knuckles Champion JR Mega!
There is no word on whether Mega's title will be
on the line that night.
Destiny made his return to PWX after several
months' absence less than 2 weeks ago at
February Fury 2012. His former tag team
championship partner Beast was in need of a
partner, and JB stepped up! The duo appeared to
still have the tag team chemistry, as they
picked up the win over the Shirley Doe
Experience and Troy Lords & Paul Atlas. It's
always a treat to see this Circle of Respect
member on the rare occasion he steps between the
ropes, and February 18th will be no different!
Mega is on a roll in PWX. Since he snuck up on
Chris Taylor at Christmas Chaos to win the Brass
Knuckles Title, he has managed to escape with
the gold at every event since. As the man the
fans love to hate, Mega will step into battle
this Saturday at an experience disadvantage, but
will his momentum help carry him to victory?
More matches will be announced very soon for Saturday's event!
Cost to attend the 'PWX Fan Extravaganza Night'
event is only $2.00!! OR you can receive FREE
ADMISSION if you pay for your ticket in
advance(at the ticket counter) for our normally

Scottie Gash was set to get get exactly what he
wanted...a match for the PWX Heavyweight
Championship aginast current champ Stryder on
the live event Saturday, February 4th at 7:30pm
at The Wrestleplex (2125 Beacon Street,
McKeesport, PA 15132).
However Gash sent this video to Pro Wrestling
eXpress pulling out of the match and claiming to
boycott PWX until his demands are met. Gash is
referring to the stipulation that he won at a
tag team match in January. Upon winning thsi tag
team match, Gash was awarded the right to name a
stipulation for a title match at date to be
chosen by him. Gash turned in his stipulation
for the event this Saturday, but rumors have it
that the stip was so ridiculous that the PWX
Championship Committee UNANIMOUSLY agreed to not
allow Gash to have that particular stipulation.
Hello PWX fans! We're here with a big news
update: PWX has added 5 new dates to the live
event schedule for 2012! This news was announced

from the PWX Scouting Department. The new
signee's name is not being released at this
time, but rumors have it that this man is a
former champion in the area and will be making
his PWX debut. Who could this possibly be?!
--The other big news story is that Championship
Committee members Shawn Patrick & Quinn Magnum
have finally agreed on something! This Saturday
night, New Year's Knockout will be under NO
RULES! Nobody is in charge, any weapon can be
used legally, and anything can happen! This will
surely be a chaotic night as PWX kicks off 2012
with a bang!
--The big main event signed for New Year's
Knockout is a tag team match with championship
implications. PWX Heavyweight Champion Stryder
will team up with Chris LeRusso to take on
Scottie Gash & PWX Three Rivers Champion Brandon
K, collectively known as Excellence Personified!
At Christmas Chaos, Shawn Patrick made this bout
after the end of the big Christmas Chaos Match.
Scottie Gash had Stryder in a crossface, but
meanwhile Brandon K pinned interim-Three Rivers
Campion LeRusso to win the title. Gash &
Brandon, who have history as former NWA North
American & PWX Tag Team Champions, haven't
teamed since Gash's shocking turn on Stryder in
November at Fan Appreciation Night. Some are
saying the duo aren't on the same page, and the
ending to Christmas Chaos may be an indicator of
that. But on the other side of the ring, Stryder
& LeRusso aren't exactly the best of friends. To
add to this, the winners of the match will get
to choose the stipulations to their title
matches when Stryder defends against Gash and K
defends against LeRusso! Which team will come
out on top in this one?
--How did Benjamin C. Steele get his hands on
the contract of Morgan Rockafeller?? Poor
Morgan...
--At Christmas Chaos, JR Mega took advantage of
the 24/7 Wild West rules of the PWX Brass
Knuckles Title and pinned Chris Taylor as he
made his entrance to win the title. Now, Taylor
will get a rematch against JR Mega at New Year's
Knockout this Saturday. Unfortunately for him,
it will be in a triple threat match also
involving Mega's tag team partner Ashton
Amherst! Will Taylor be able to overcome the
odds and regain the title?
--"The Future" arrives on January 14th as Calvin
McGrath returns to PWX! This monster powerhouse
has made his mark on PWX in the past, and has
been signed by the Scouting Department to return
this Saturday night! How will this effect the
PWX roster, especially with no rules?
--With The Shirley Doe Experience injuring PWX
stars left and right, Crusher Hansen & Dash
Bennett have stepped up and agreed to take
things into their own hands. Doe & Apollyon took
out Hansen's brother Tony, as well as one of the
Blue Dragons, and Crusher & Dash have had
enough. Will they be able to stop the path of
destruction the Experience have left in their
wake?
--Payton Graham is on a mission to prove he
belongs in the PWX Circle of Respect. In
addition to tacking his own picture on the
Circle of Respect wall at the Wrestleplex, he
mocked Mad Mike at Christmas Chaos. Now, he'll
have his chance to prove he is among the elite
in PWX as he takes on Ryan Mitchell! A win here
for "Platinum" Payton could very well back up
his case that he is as good as he says he is.
But to do that, he'll need to defeat one of the
fastest rising stars in PWX history, a former
PWX Heavyweight and Three Rivers Champion, 2009
Sean "Shocker" Evans Tournament winner, and one
of the most popular wrestles in PWX! Will he be
able to topple the "Steel City Prodigy" and earn
his right among the upper echelon of PWX?
--Since his return to PWX, Jon Burton has had it
out for Shawn Patrick. The Championship
Committee member forced Burton out of PWX under
unscrupulous circumstances, and now "Big Homey"
is back and wants revenge... or at least, an
explanation! On Saturday night, Burton plans to
call out Shawn Patrick and confront him in front
of the PWX crowd! Will he finally get the
explanation he deserves?
--SteeleCorp member Ryan Reign is looking to
make 2012 his year. His first step is to make a
name for himself against Mad Mike! Reign has a
big task ahead of him as Mike is not only a
locker room leader and one of the most respected
veterans in PWX, but is also the angriest
wrestler on the planet and a PWX Grand Slam
winner! If there's one man in PWX to make
yourself a name off of, it would be Mad Mike..
but Mike is one man you do not want to make even
angrier than he already is!
--Stay tuned this week for the PWX 2011 Year End
Award ballots!
--In a non-title match, PWX Tag Team Champions
the Iron City Monsters will take on the new team
of Travis Fame & Blue Dragon. Fame & Dragon
actually requested this match to see how they
would fare as a team in the PWX tag team
division. Meanwhile, Gator & Beast have had eyes
in the back of their rather large heads, as
there seems to be a target on their back as of
late. Not only have they been attacked by The
Shirley Doe Experience, but theteam of Paul
Atlas & Troy Lords seemed to have their number
at Christmas Chaos. Will the Iron City Monsters
bring a big W the City of Pittsburgh is looking
for? Or will this be the start of an "Excellent
Adventure" for Dragon & Fame?
--Don't miss New Year's Knockout, THIS
Saturday Night, January 14th, 2012, at the PWX Wrestleplex!
There will be no rules, so anything can
happen!!! The card is as follows...
PWX Heavyweight Champion STRYDER & CHRIS LeRUSSO

-Thanks for reading this edition of "Hot News"
and we all hope to see you at The Wrestleplex
on
Saturday night!!!
It has just be learned that Blue Dragon #2 of
the tag-team Double Dragon is out indefinitely
with an injury at the hands of The Shirley Doe
Experience at the Christmas Chaos live event on
Saturday, December 19th.
Shirley Doe and Apollyon viciously attacked both
Blue Dragons as they made their way to the ring
for their match in the PWXmas Tag-Team Title
Gauntlet match. Doe then took it upon himself to
injure Blue Dragon #2 as Apollyon and Blue
Dragon #1 fought in the ring. Travis Fame came
to the aid of Blue Dragon #1 and now it appears
as though these two men will attempt to make a
go of it as a team while Blue Dragon #2 heals.
As was stated earlier, the newly formed PWX
Scouting Department has already made it's first
acquisition and it is a huge one!
'The Future' does indeed arrive in PWX on
January 14th as 'The Future' Calvin McGrath has
signed to compete full time in PWX and will make
his first appearance at our first live event of
the year on Saturday, January 14th at The
Wrestplex(2125 Beacon Street, McKeesport, PA
15132) with a 7:30pm belltime!!
Calvin McGrath is a physical marvel, with a
chiseled physique, and has a great track record
of success in every promotion he enters holding
championships virtually everywhere he goes.
McGrath competed in early 2011 for PWX, but not
on a fulltime basis, but he is now signed and
ready to go. McGrath has already gone on record
of saying that he is ready to take PWX by storm
and will look to dominate the competition from
the very start!!
Be sure to check out www.prowrestlingexpress.com
for all of the latest info and more on the PWX
Scouting Department's signing of Calvin McGrath!
In addition, the first two episodes of the PWX
internet podcast 'The Express Lane' hosted by
Marcus Mann is up and available for free
download on Itunes!!
Pro Wrestling eXpress is
happy to announce the formation of scouting
department as we search to expand our talent
pool as well as supplement our current talented
roster.
The department that has
been put together will begin searching for
talent from the surrounding area and all
throughout the tri state area and even beyond.
Any wrestler that would like to express their
desire to try and receive a chance to work for
PWX can also contact the scouting department a
nwaeast@comcast.net by sending in a brief bio
and any youtube videos of their matches they may
have.
PWX's scouting department
hopes to be able to bring in new talent for our
fans to enjoy and new talent for our current
roster to test their skills against. The scouts
have already formed a list of wrestlers that PWX
would like to bring into the promotion and an
announcement of one wrestler already signed to
come back into the PWX fold will be announced
very shortly!
We're proud to announce the premiere of The
eXpress Lane! The eXpress Lane is a brand new,
half-hour long podcast presented to you by PWX.
Our first episode is now available to stream
here on prowrestlingexpress.com. You can also
download the mp3 file direct to your computer or
mp3 player to listen to whenever you want! Click
HERE for the inaugural episode of The eXpress
Lane!
We also have several videos to present today!
Scottie Gash on Christmas Chaos
Robert Parker Williams talks Christmas Chaos and
his condition... sort of...
--Next Saturday Night is our annual PWX
Christmas Chaos event! It will take place at
the new Wrestleplex at 2125 Beacon St. in
McKeesport, PA, just across the street from UPMC
McKeesport Hospital. Have you seen the
Wrestleplex for yourself? It is a truely unique
building designed exclusively for wrestling!
Check it out!
--Scheduled for Christmas Chaos is our annual
Christmas Chaos match! This will feature six
competitors, three of which are PWX singles
champions. Or will it? PWX Three Rivers Champion
Robert Parker Williams suffered a broken sternum
at Fan Appreciation Night and we haven't heard
word on whether he is medically cleared to
wrestle or not. Despite that, PWX Heavyweight
Champion Stryder and PWX Brass Knuckles Champion
Chris Tayor will be competing in the match for
sure.
--There will be three matches to qualify
participants in the Christmas Chaos match as
well. "First Klass" Brandon K will take on
Ashton Amherst, JR Mega will face Dash Bennett,
and Ryan Mitchell takes on the turncoat
"Spotlight" Scottie Gash. Three of these
top-notch PWX performers, all former PWX title
holders, will advance to the Christmas Chaos
match, in which every singles title in PWX will
be up for grabs!
--Team Mega has vacated the NWA North American
Tag Team Championship, citing lack of
competition from the National Wrestling
Alliance. What's next for JR Mega and Ashton
Amherst now?
--Also signed for Christmas Chaos is the return
of Kingdom James! James left PWX in 2000 and has
not been seen in the company since then. A
former PWX Tag Team Champion on several
occasions, we don't have any word on what
Kingdom might be doing at Christmas Chaos or why
he's returning. However, we have heard a rumor
that one of his former Tag Team Championship
partners might have something to do with it...
--At the last PWX event, Fan Appreciation Night,
"Platinum" Payton Graham started a new path in
his career. He began the night by adding his own
photo to the PWX Circle of Respect wall at the
Wrestleplex. He then defeated newcomer Jack
Pollock, and in the process had three PWX
managers (BC Steele, Shawn Patrick, and Morgan
Rockafeller) scouting him. In his haste to make
a name for himself at the expense of the Circle
of Respect, he forgot that Championship
Committee member Quinn Magnum is a member of
that Circle of Respect. And so is his good
friend, Mad Mike! So now on December 17th,
Graham will have to take on the "angriest man in
wrestling"! Will that stop his Circle of Respect
quest in its tracks?
--Crusher Hansen has long been rumored to be a
long lost cousin of "The Lariat" Stan Hansen.
Crusher even adopted the signature Hansen Lariat
into his moveset several years ago. On December
17th, he will have to face somebody in PWX who
is becoming known for his hard hits and
decapitating lariat: "Notorious" Shane Taylor.
Taylor has branded himself the "new era of
badass" in PWX, and is looking to prove that
against Crusher. In this "Battle of the
Lariats", who will come out on top?
--Just where has Stacy Hunter been lately,
anyways?!
--Four tag teams will compete for the PWX Tag
Team Championship in the first ever PWX-Mas Tag
Team Title Gauntlet match! Current champions the
Iron City Monsters will be included in the
match, as well as the Shirley Doe Experience,
Double Dragon, and the team of Paul Atlas & Troy
Lords. The tag team title race is hot & heavy
right now. Beast & Gator, the Monsters, won the
titles at Fan Appreciation Night. Immediately
after, they were targeted by Atlas & Lords.
Throughout the course of the match, Blue Dragon
ran out and prevented Doe & Apollyon from doing
anymore damage than they already did on Tony
Hansen's knee. What will happen when these four
teams fight it out gauntlet-style on the 17th?
--Speaking of Tony Hansen, we have yet to hear
word on how his knee is or any timetable for a
return. We will keep you updated as we hear the
news.
--What would Christmas Chaos be without an
appearance from the man himself, Santa Claus!
Old Saint Nick is reportedly a HUGE PWX fan, and
wants to come see all his great fans in
attendance! What will happen when Santa Claus
comes to town?!
--Don't miss Christmas Chaos 2011, next
Saturday December 17th at the PWX Wrestleplex!
The card is as follows...
Christmas Chaos Match:
PWX Heavyweight Champion STRYDER vs. PWX Three
Rivers Champion ROBERT PARKER WILLIAMS w/
Benjamin C. Steele vs. PWX Brass Knuckles
Champion CHRIS TAYLOR vs. ??? vs. ??? vs. ??? All PWX Singles Titles up for grabs!
Christmas Chaos Qualifier:
"The Spotlight" SCOTTIE GASH vs. "The Steel City
Prodigy" RYAN MITCHELL
Christmas Chaos Qualifier:
JR MEGA vs. DASH BENNETT
Christmas Chaos Qualifier:
ASHTON AMHERST vs. "First Klass" BRANDON K
PWX-Mas Tag Title Gauntlet:
THE IRON CITY MONSTERS (Beast & Gator)
w/ Klubber Korbelic [c] vs. THE SHIRLEY DOE
EXPERIENCE (Shirley Doe & Apollyon) vs.
DOUBLE DRAGON (Blue Dragon & Blue Dragon)
vs. PAUL ATLAS & TROY LORDS
"Notorious" SHANE TAYLOR vs. CRUSHER HANSEN
"Platinum" PAYTON GRAHAM vs. MAD MIKE
KINGDOM JAMES returns to PWX!
An appearance by SANTA CLAUS!
And much much more!!!
-Thanks for reading this edition of "Hot News"
and we all hope to see you at The Wrestleplex
next
Saturday night!!!
JR Mega & Ashton Amherst, collectively known as
Team Mega, have effectively vacated the NWA
North American Tag Team Championship, citing
lack of competition.
After PWX Fan Appreciation Night 2011, cameras
caught up with PWX stars about what happened
that night! This is PWX: After The Bell #2!
Ashton Amherst also sent this video to
ProWrestlingeXpress.com explaining why he didn't
show up for Fan Appreciation Night, and laying
out his plan of attack for December 17th, as he
takes on Brandon K!
As of midnight on Saturday November 19th, PWX
and Terry Ring will part ways. His final match
in PWX will take place that night as he defends
the Brass Knuckles Title against a fan-picked
opponent. Win, lose, or draw, this will be his
final match in PWX.
A change has also occurred with a recently
announced match. "The Next Trending Topic" Jack
Pollock will now take on "Platinum" Payton
Graham on the main event, rather than on the
pre-show.
UPDATE: As of midnight on Saturday November
19th, PWX and Kid Cupid will part ways.
The Uprising of Sean Reznikk and Thomas Adams
will not be in attendance at Saturday's Fan
Appreciation Night, nor in December at Christmas
Chaos. This puts their PWX roster status into
question.
Also, Shirley Doe contacted PWX officials and
informed them Chase Aaryons is no longer a
member of the Shirley Doe Experience. This puts
his PWX roster status into question as well.
Welcome to the first "Hot News" of the New
Beginning of PWX!
--The first news we have to report is the new
way you can access the PWX website. In addition
to
www.nwaeast.com and
www.nwaeast.org,
you can now visit us at
www.prowrestlingexpress.com! Hopefully this
makes your browsing experience that much easier!
--The biggest news we have is that Jon Burton is
back! Reportedly, "Big Homie" was set up by
Championship Committee member Shawn Patrick.
Burton was scheduled to take on JR Mega back in
September, but was unable to make it to the
event. The reports we heard indicated that Shawn
Patrick knew this information leading into the
event, and convinced another Championship
Committee member Quinn Magnum to make the match
a "Freed or Fired" Match, in which the loser
would be fired from PWX. Thus, when JB wasn't
there to compete, he lost via forfeit. Burton
showed up at the 17th Anniversary Show by
surprise. When he confronted Magnum about the
situation, Magnum offered him a new contract! We
don't have word on how Shawn Patrick feels about
the situation, but the Orange Dynamo can't be
too pleased!
--This Saturday Night is our annual PWX Fan
Appreciation Night event! It will take place at
the new Wrestleplex at 2125 Beacon St. in
McKeesport, PA, just across the street from UPMC
McKeesport Hospital. The Wrestleplex got rave
reviews after our 17th Anniversary Show, come
see it for yourself! Big props to the PWX team
for all their hard work in preparing the
building!
--Signed for the main event is PWX Heavyweight
Champion defending against the thorn in his
side, Ashton Amherst. After Stryder retained his
title in the big three-way ladder match at the
17th Anniversary, Shawn Patrick was livid. He
immediately made a match between Stryder and
Amherst, and since it's Fan Appreciation Night,
he ordered the match be a "Fans Pick the
Stipulation" Match! We here at
ProWrestlingeXpress.com feel the decision was
questionable at best. Do YOU think Amherst
deserves his title shot? Let us know on our
official Facebook page
HERE!
--After the success of our first Pittsburgh
Dream Match between Super Hentai and Chris
Taylor at our 17th Anniversary Show, PWX
officials were quick to sign another one for Fan
Appreciation Night, and it's a doozy! For the
first time ever, "First Klass" Brandon K will
take on Jason Gory! Trained by Shirley Doe &
Super Hentai, Gory is widely regarded as one of
the top high-flyers in the Pittsburgh area.
After capturing several titles in the area, Gory
expanded beyond Pittsburgh, competing for
Cleveland area promotions Pro Wrestling Ohio and
Firestorm Pro, as well as Dragon Gate USA and
EVOLVE in the NY/NJ/Philadelphia area. Now, Gory
comes to PWX to take on the best we have to
offer: Brandon K! Brandon is a former PWX
Heavyweight Champion, PWX Tag Team Champion, and
NWA North American Tag Team Champion, and his
previous ventures outside of Pittsburgh for WWE
and TNA have been documented at length
elsewhere. This will surely be one to watch this
Saturday night!
--There are several "Fans Choose" matches at Fan
Appreciation Night, including several title
matches! PWX Three Rivers Champion Robert Parker
Williams and PWX Brass Knuckles Champion
"Showtime" Terry Ring will defend their newly
won titles against opponents chosen by the fans.
PWX Tag Team Champions The Hansen Brothers will
defend their titles against The Shirley Doe
Experience as well as the fans pick between
former two PWX Tag Team Championship teams: the
Iron City Monsters and Double Dragon! Fans will
also pick two participants in a one-on-one
match, basically creating a match on their own!
--Is there dissension in The Uprising? Payton
Graham had a singles match on the pre-show of
the 17th Anniversary Show, while Sean Reznikk
and Thomas Adams interrupted T. Rantula's Circle
of Respect induction, only to get waylayed by a
sign from Quinn Magnum. There was reportedly a
backstage altercation between Graham and Reznikk
while Adams stood by and tried to play mediator.
What is going on within the Uprising?
--Another match this Saturday night will be a
5-on-5 encounter between 5 of the best PWX has
to offer taking on 5 of Shawn Patrick's "chosen
ones". Patrick's team will be represented by JR
Mega, Shane Taylor, Devin Devine, Paul Atlas, &
Troy Lords. While we don't know who will
represent PWX just yet, Several people on the
roster have been put off by the actions of Shawn
Patrick and his followers in the last year, so
much so that it could fill up the team with at
least a dozen members! Who will be the chosen 5?
--A new match we have to announce will be a
pre-show match between Jay Flash and "The Next
Trending Topic" Jack Pollock. Pollock is the
newest graduate of the PWX Wrestling Academy,
the first of the New Beginning era. In addition
to training at the PWX Academy, he received
additional training from Lance Storm at the
Storm Wrestling Academy in Calgary, Alberta,
Canada! Will his match with Flash in fact make
him the "next trending topic" in PWX?
--Don't miss Fan Appreciation Night this
Saturday, November 19th at the PWX Wrestleplex!
The card is as follows...
PWX Heavyweight Title Match: STRYDER (c) vs. ASHTON
AMHERST w/ Shawn Patrick Fans Pick the Stipulation!
Pittsburgh Dream Match 2: BRANDON K vs. JASON
GORY
PWX Three Rivers Title Match: ROBERT PARKER WILLIAMS (c) w/

5-on-5 Elimination Match: JR MEGA, SHANE TAYLOR, TROY LORDS, PAUL
ATLAS, & DEVIN DEVINE w/ Shawn Patrick

-Thanks for reading this edition of "Hot News"
and we all hope to see you at The Wrestleplex on
Saturday!!!
Payton Graham def. Jay
Flash in a pre-show match
The first match to start off the new WrestlePlex
featured Uprising member "Platinum" Payton
Graham taking on former Shirley Doe Experience
member Jay Flash. Graham picked up the victory
with the Certified Platinum.
Jimmy Nutts def. Ryan Reign in the finals of the
Futures Cup Tournament
Once the actual show began, we determined the
winner of the Futures Cup, signifying that this
individual could very well be the future of PWX.
With help from a distraction by Terry Ring,
Benjamin C. Steele slipped Ryan Reign a roll of
pennies, which Reign used to get the win.
However, referee Ronnie Starks saw the pennies
and demanded the match be restarted. With that
Jimmy Nutts rolled Reign up in a small package
to get the win!
After the bell, Reign, Ring, Steele, and Robert
Parker Williams surrounded the ring ready to
attack... until Jon Burton made the save! He
said he had some friends willing to help, and
brought out former PWX Tag Team Champ QB Blitzz!
Blitzz then brought out Circle of Respect member
JB to help! With that, JB, QB, JB, and Nutts
cleared the ring of the Golden Reign trio and
stood tall!
Robert Parker Williams def. PWX Three Rivers
Champion Dash Bennett, Terry Ring, Travis Fame,
Devin Devine, & CJ Sensation
Eric Xtasy wasn't able to make the event due to
a family emergency, so instead, CJ Sensation
took his place! Sensation won the title last
year, and retired in February without ever
losing the belt. There was way too much action
to recap in this one, but it was all capped off
by Robert Parker Williams stealing the pin and
winning the title for the very first time!
Scottie Gash def. Paul Atlas & PWX Brass
Knuckles Champion Troy Lords in a handicap match
to win the title
People scratched their heads when Brass Knuckles
Champion Troy Lords offered Scottie Gash a
rematch for the title after practically stealing
a title win at the PWX Academy while Gash was
training a student, taking advantage of the Wild
West 24/7 Rules of the title. Lords' plan was
revealed at the Anniversary Show, when he
announced the match would instead be a Handicap
Match with Gash taking on both Lords and Paul
Atlas (with Shawn Patrick and Curtis Stevenson
at ringside). Gash attempted to even the odds
with his longtime manager "King of Rats" Damian
Stockholm at ringside with him! The two-on-four
advantage seemed to be too much, but while the
referee was down, Gash's Super Duper Cool Dudes
partner Justin Idol hit the ring and took out
Atlas & Lords! The advantage allowed Gash to hit
Gash2Sleep for the win and the title!
T. Rantula was inducted into the Circle of
Respect by PWX owner Jim Miller. But, after T's
acceptance speech, he was interrupted by
Uprising members Sean Reznikk and Thomas Adams!
Reznikk appeared upset that they weren't booked
on the show, but T and Jim were able to take up
time. When they were about to attack, the lights
went out and Quinn Magnum's music hit! Magnum
cleared the ring of the Uprising with a street
sign, and congratulated T in his induction!
The Iron City Monsters (Gator & Beast) def.
Armageddon (Rapture & Revelation)
Former PWX Tag Team Champions Armageddon were no
match for the newly-rebranded Iron City Monsters
in this one. Led once again by CK Fortune, the
Monsters made quick work of Rapture &
Revelation, disposing of them in about 14
seconds!
Brandon K def. Chris LeRusso
Brandon's "decade of dominance" was on the line
here, as K had been undefeated at all 9 previous
anniversary shows he had competed on. He had
refused to face LeRusso for weeks until LeRusso
finally made things personal and verbally
attacked K's family. With that, K brought in
some family to back him up at ringside: former
NWA Junior Heavyweight Champion and K's cousin,
Vince "Big Time" Kaplack! Kaplack's presence
played a part, as LeRusso was about to hit K
with a chair, Kaplack grabbed it away, allowing
K to roll up LeRusso for the win! The Kaplack
cousins celebrated with a stirring rendition of
"Jessie's Girl"!
Ryan Mitchell def. JR Mega
After months of not being able to get his hands
on JR, Mitchell finally had his chance at the
17th Anniversary Show. However, special guest
referee Scott Venom appeared to be paid off by
Shawn Patrick before the match with an envelope.
This allowed Mega to cut corners and try to
cheat to win. But Mitchell wouldn't stay down.
Finally, All Business Brant, Venom's former tag
team championship partner, hit the ring with an
envelope of his own. After opening it, Venom hit
the hissing DDT on Mega, which allowed Mitchell
to drop the big elbow for the win!
After the match, Ashton Amherst attacked
Mitchell. This led to Chris Taylor making the
save for his friend. But former PWX Tag Team
Champion Klubber Korbelic made his return,
apparently a hired gun for Team Mega! As he was
beating Mitchell down,
Big Playa appeared for the first time in over 12
years! Playa and Klubber went at it, until Super
Hentai hit the ring with a sign, chasing Klubber
and Team Mega off! Hentai and Taylor uneasily
shook hands before they were to meet later in
the night...
PWX Brass Knuckles Champion Scottie Gash def.
Tony Johnson
Terry Ring def. PWX Brass Knuckles Champion
Scottie Gash to win the title
During intermission, several PWX wrestlers were
ringside signing autographs and taking photos
with fans, including Scottie Gash & Damian
Stockholm. When Gash tried to make his way to
the back. he was attacked by Shirley Doe
Experience member "Iceman" Tony Johnson,
attempting to get the Brass Knuckles Title! Gash
was able to hit the Gash2Sleep to put him away,
but was then confronted by "Showtime" Terry
Ring. As Ring made his way to the ring,
Stockholm turned on Gash, throwing powder in his
face! Ring rolled up Gash for 3 and walked away
the NEW Brass Knuckles Champion!!
Mad Mike def. Shane Taylor
The "Battle of the Bad Asses" was exactly as
everybody expected... hard hitting, intense, and
brutal. Taylor dominated Mike for the majority
of the match like nobody we've ever seen. He
knocked Mike off the top rope when Mike was
going for his signature leg drop. But as he was
lining up "the angriest man in wrestling" for a
lariat, Mike ducked and rolled up Taylor for 3!
Taylor looked on in disbelief and the two men
stared down for several moments after the match.
The Hansen Brothers (Crusher & Tony Hansen) def.
PWX Tag Team Champions The Shirley Doe
Experience (Shirley Doe & Apollyon) in a no
rules match to win the titles
Something that hasn't been seen in a PWX ring in
several years is a brutal weapons match. These
two teams brought the weapons back to PWX in a
big way during this No Rules Match! Stop signs,
traffic cones, and baseball bats saw their way
into this match, which also spilled out to the
floor several times. Other members of the
Experience, Tony Johnson & Chase Aaryons,
attempted to interfere but were run off by
Double Dragon. With Shirley Doe out on the
floor, the Hansens hit the 3D on Apollyon on a
pile of street signs for the win and the titles!
Chris Taylor def. Super Hentai in a Pittsburgh
Dream Match
This is what most fans and experts are referring
to as the match of the night! Two of Pittsburgh
wrestling's biggest and brightest stars did
battle for the first time ever, and it was
everything everybody expected. Both men were
evenly matched, and it came down to a battle of
wills. Taylor attempted a superplex off the top,
but was thrown off by Hentai. Hentai went for a
sunset flip off the top, but only got 2. He
swung for the fences with a clothesline, Taylor
ducked and rolled Hentai up with a backslide for
the 3!
PWX Heavyweight Champion Stryder def. Ashton
Amherst and Patrick Hayes in a three-way ladder
match
The biggest night in PWX history was capped off
by one of the most incredible ladder matches the
company has ever seen! Ashton Amherst,
accompanied by Shawn Patrick and a surprise
appearance by Krystal Frost, took on Patrick
Hayes and PWX Champion Stryder. Amherst was
slammed onto the ladder so hard at one point,
the ladder broke and a gash appeared on his
back! But that didn't stop him from delivering a
huge fisherman buster to Hayes off the ladders!
All three men were down at one point, and Frost
got bold and attempted to climb the ladder for
Amherst herself! But she took too long screaming
at the fans and was caught by Patrick Hayes, who
delivered an incredible Pick Me Up gutbuster off
of the ladder! Hayes then ascended the ladder
and hit a huge frog splash onto Amherst! He was
then inches away from getting the title when JR
Mega appeared with a sign. Hayes countered by
dropkicking the sign into Mega's face. But the
distraction hurt Hayes' knee and kept him on the
floor. Amherst attempted to climb the ladder,
only to be tossed Stryder's rugby ball and
speared by Stryder, who came from the top rope
to the ladder! With Amherst down from the spear,
and Hayes' knee on the floor, Stryder was able
to climb the rungs and retain his title!
After the match, Shawn Patrick was livid and
demanded Stryder defend the title against
Amherst in a "Fans Pick the Stipulation" match
at Fan Appreciation Night on November 19th! In
addition, Hayes challenged Shawn Patrick to a
5-on-5 elimination match where the remaining 5
men in Patrick's camp (Troy Lords, JR Mega,
Shane Taylor, Paul Atlas, & Devin Devine) take
on 5 of PWX's best, headed up by Hayes!
