[Guest ChandlerBiggins]

Some updated news to report on AIW's Gauntlet For The Gold 3 on Sunday!

 

-Wrestling legend, "Southern" Tracy Smothers, has been added to the show. He'll be taking part in the VIP Autograph signing at 6PM. Will he have a larger role in the show? He has suggested some talent to AIW, and he'll be bringing them according to sources. A man that's no stranger to controversy, Smothers will surely have a lot to say and do on Sunday!

 

 

 

-AIW Home Video will be releasing "The Oncoming Storm" on Sunday. The show which was taped in April of 2007, in Youngstown, Ohio featured the AIW debut of "Havana Pitbull" Ricky Reyes, the AIW Return of "Sweet & Sour" Larry Sweeney and the first ever Tag Team Casket Match.

The show is being held in Brookpark, Ohio @UAW Local 1250, 17250 Hummel Rd, 7PM Bell Time on 2/24/2008.

 

Already Signed for the huge event:

 

-NECRO BUTCHER OUT, MAD MAN PONDO IN! MAD MAN PONDO VS. "THE PASSION" JOHN THORNE

Due to transportation issues, The Necro Butcher can't get revenge on Revelation 13's John Thorne. So Agent Aaron Bauer went out and signed Mad Man Pondo to "Oh Snap Inc" on the recommendation of Necro. Necro and Pondo have been both friends and enemies, and there's nobody that could replace the insanity of the Necro Butcher better than Mad Man Pondo. Pondo has been informed of the actions of Revelation 13 by Bauer and Necro, and he's ready to make their war his. With his trusty stop sign, and his legacy of violence will "The Passion" be able to survive Mad Man Pondo?

 

-30 MAN GAUNTLET FOR THE GOLD, The Winner will become ABSOLUTE CHAMPION!

Due to Steve Corino retiring with the Absolute Title, it was vacated and will be up for grabs in the Gauntlet. Last year crowned a new champ, and this year will as well. Somebody will leave as champ but who?

 

THE FIRST TEN SPOTS IN THE GAUNTLET ARE FILLED:

1. Sterling James Keenan

2. Dios Salvador

3. Matt "MDogg20" Cross

4. Eric Ryan

5. Hobo Joe

6. Luis Diamante

7. TJ Dynamite

8. Rebis

9. Johnny Gargano

10. Mad Man Pondo

 

-JOHNNY GARGANO ANSWERS TYLER BLACK'S CHALLENGE, JOHNNY GARGANO VS. JOSH PROHIBITION, FIRST TIME EVER!

After teasing Tyler Black for months via the Internet, Johnny Gargano made his AIW return at "Nightmare Before Xmas." He then defeated Tyler's "BFF" Shane Hollister. Gargano has one goal in mind, something that eluded him his entire AIW career and that's the Intense Title. But before he gets his shot, he faces one more road block. We didn't know who the mystery man would be until now, the man is Josh Prohibition. Josh took Tyler Black to the limit at "Nightmare Before XMas" and Tyler picked Josh because of that and how well he knows Johnny from working in other promotions as a tag team with him. Josh, who has same war brewing with Dios Salvador, who he trained, has his sights not only set on the "King Of Cleveland", but also on the Intense Title. Will this be too much for Gargano to overcome in his quest for the Intense Title?

 

-DIOS SALVADOR AND STERLING JAMES KEENAN BATTLE FOR SPOT NUMBER #30, LOSER GETS SPOT #1

After feuding for months over a shot at Steve Corino, due to scheduling mishaps, neither ever got their shot. But now they are being given a shot at possibly an easy win at the Gauntlet. These men will battle for the right to enter at Number 30. Dios won the number 30 spot last year, but failed to win the title. Could this finally be the year for Dios? Or will SJK be fulfilling the destiny of becoming AIW Absolute Champ? JUST ADDED: Not only will the winner be #30, but the loser will be #1. Obviously, it's in one's interest to win this match, as you have possibly 29 other men to beat by being #1. By being #30, a majority of people will already be eliminated.

 

-"THE PANTHER" TYRONE EVANS SAYS GOOD-BYE!

Signing with WWE this week, Tyrone Evans leaves Absolute Intense Wrestling. But he will return one more time to say good bye to the AIW fans. Tyrone has never been shy about his feelings or his disdain for the AIW fans. What could he have planned?

 

-CHRIS CRONUS CLAIMS HE WILL 'HURT SOMEBODY'

Chris Cronus, who since losing at Absolution 2 to "The Deviant" Michael Hutter has a new vision, that being of a Spartan Warrior, took Thrillbilly to the limit at "Tomorrow Never Dies" and destroyed Equinox at "Hell On Earth 3", has asked for a match where "I will hurt somebody bad". Who will be stepping up to fight Cronus?

 

-MATT "MDOGG20" CROSS'S OPEN CHALLENGE ANSWERED BY MATTHEW JUSTICE!

With his shocking return at "Nightmare Before Xmas" Matt Cross wants to return to the position he once was in, competing for both the Intense and Absolute Titles. Matt took close to a year off from AIW, and came back with a changed attitude and wants to regain the position he once was in. He asked for a match at the Gauntlet, and this match was filled by Revelation 13's member, Matthew Justice! Justice has been on a roll, being a former AIW Tag Champ and beating Hallowicked at Hell On Earth 3, will he be able to beat Matt Cross and move towards title contention?

 

-NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS FOR THE AIW TAG TITLES DECIDED!

With both of their partners unable to make this event, representing the Switchblade Saints, Matt Riot will battle 1/2 Of The AIW Tag Champs, Nick Belushi. If Matt is able to beat Nick, The Saints will be declared No. 1 Contenders for the belts.

 

-WOMAN STAR HAILEY HATRED DEBUTS!

AIW has never had a woman's match in their history, so why would Hailey Hatred be coming? What does she have to do with the show? I'm sure we'll know a lot more soon. But it will be very interesting!

-Absolute Owner Chandler Biggins brought out “The Panther” Tyrone Evans for his "good-bye." The crowd bombarded the ring with streamers with Tyrone came out. Tyrone talked for a long time about how he's wanted to give up wrestling due to himself and others but he's glad he hasn't. He talked about being homeless during most of 2006 and how signing with WWE is the greatest thing that's ever happened to him. Tyrone talked about how when nobody would book him, AIW always had his back.
