PWL News and Information - November 4, 1999.
The next major PWL show will be the second annual THUNDERCAT MEMORIAL SHOW.
This card will take place Friday night, November 26, at Browns Grounds
in St. Louis. Here is the card, announced today by the PWL's Gene
West:
-
World heavyweight champion RONALD McDONALD defends the title in a steel
cage bout against former cham-peen FAT ALBERT.
-
World tag team champions HAARLEM HEAT will have their toughest title defense,
taking on Puke Cup champions JOE THE GIANT and THE TERROR.
-
North American heavyweight champion COOLEROY battles HUMAN TORNADO and
former champion M. KLEATS in a Three-Way Dance.
-
World cruiserweight champion DUH CHEE defends that belt against STARSHINE
HIPPIE.
An eight-team tournament will decide the first PWL North American tag team
championship. First round matches are:
-
THE NEW ORDER vs. THE TANGLEFEET.
-
THE PILLARS OF PAIN vs. NC-17.
-
THE SEXECUTIONERS vs. THE ILLUSTRATORS.
-
THE THUNDERFEET vs. THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS.
In other matches at TMS:
-
SETH invites any and all wrestlers (PWL or not) to be his victims in a
no-holds-barred Seth Destroys You Invitational. Seth will do his
best to defeat all wrestlers that dare to challenge him. Seth will
be declared the winner when one minute elapses following a wrestler's defeat
in the ring. Seth has not said what he will do if somebody defeats
him. Either we've booked a Seth win or we haven't figured it out
yet. You decide.
-
The Women's and Midgets' World title will be defended as well. Women's
champ URSA defends her title against DARK ANGEL, and Midgets' champion
CAP'N CRUNCH takes on longtime former champion MASCARITA DIABLO.
In other news...
-
Many of the wrestlers' contracts will be up in the days following TMS.
An indication of may be leaving could be who loses at TMS, but we could
throw you a curveball or two in there.

The PWL recently introduced its Spanish-language wrestling show, PWL
Lucha Bombastica. Check the PWL Media page for dates and times
the show airs in your TV market.

The PWL is trying several makeover attempts with the former members of
the Fat Albert Gang. FAT ALBERT, of course, needed no change, except
for his babyface turn this year. MUSH MOUTH has had great success
in his role as M. KLEATS, including a run as NA champ (and maybe more in
the future). BUCKEY and DUMB DONALD were re-made as the SEXECUTIONERS,
and they should be getting a higher profile as a results of the North American
tag team championship being created. OLD WEIRD HAROLD has had limited
exposure as OWH, and he and the PWL are working on a new gimmick.
In addition, BILL, RUSSELL, and RUDY are working with the PWL Suits, trying
to find gimmicks and angels that will suit them. The PWL has had
much help from MONDO MBAMBA in working out new looks for them. Mbamba
himself is transforming from his angry militant gimmick to that of a crowd-pleasing,
jive-talking, yet still dominant, manager. Early indications are
that it should be a success, as fans have actually cheered Mbamba during
breaks at PWL events and functions.

COSMIC MONSTERS INCORPORATED are no longer in the PWL, and they are missed
by the Suits and the folks in the locker room. If anybody knows what
became of PLAGUE, STRIKE FORCE, VENOM, ELIZA BLADE, and KHAINE, please
let us know via the e-mail address on the PWL Main Page.
-
THE SCOOBY-DOO GANG are still not in the PWL, and they probably never will
be. Just thought you'd like to know.
-
Some friends of the PWL are now running a real (yes, REAL) radio
station in St. Louis. It's called St. Louis 1680, and much
of its programming has a wrestling flavor to it. The PWL is working
out deals to run some form of PWL programming on the station. It
is real, mind you, but like the fake stations on the Media Page, if you
do happen to pick up St. Louis 1680, we would all be very interested in
hearing from you.
That's all the news for this time out. Hopefully there will be additional
updates leading up to the THUNDERCAT MEMORIAL SHOW. However, you
know how erratic the PWL is, so don't be surpised if nothing or anything
or everything happens between now and Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks
a ton for stopping by PWL ONLINE!
