Great Lakes Wrestling

[holland227]

New LOW Fed Settings:

1. Wrestlers will be held up to their potential. A wrestler who does not hold to their potential will be released and required to earn their return to the federation.
Example: Buddy Rogers is required to stay at the top of the card. He is a Main Eventer
Example: George South will not be penalized for losing to top stars, but will require to but on good matches with wrestlers of his caliber

2. In order for a new wrestler to make it to the federation, there will be an open tournament that is limited to 6 wrestlers. There will be Three, One on One Matches, then either a Triple Threat or Three Way Dance Match. The Winner of that tournament will get a try out match against a current roster wrestler who has the same star power as they do

3. Wrestlers will have to follow a rigorous schedule, being required to be up to par at every event. Any Wrestler found not up to par will be given one night off and then the next event if he is still not up to par or out of shape he will be sent to a development area to train and condition himself, then be required to enter the next tournament to get back to the tryout match to get their spot back. (Any Wrestler sent to development is automatically entered into the tournament, not having to wait behind others)

4. Wrestlers will be held accountable for their real life events.
Example: If a Wrestler is in trouble with the law, That Wrestler will be given the oppertunity to make amends but will be required to be off the camera while the ordeal is being taken care of

5. After every show their will be a chart rolled upon for 3 random wrestlers, with outside the ring events. The Wrestlers are chosen at random and could be chosen 10 times in a row or never. The outside the ring events can impact positively or negatively towards the wrestler. Wrestlers are accountable for their outside the ring events.

6. All the LOW Titles (With the exception of gimmick titles, ie. Hardcore, Deathmatch, etc) will be contested under 2 out of 3 falls unless the match is inside a steel cage, ladder match or any other speciality.

7. Except for rare occasions, Tag Team Wrestlers are Tag Team Wrestlers. Tag Wrestlers will hardly ever wrestle in a singles match unless that match is a title match or a singles match against a member of an opposing tag team they are feuding with.

8. Financial situations. Each wrestler will be paid for their appearance. Their pay will be calculated by how well they perform, their status on the card and in the federation, if they are champions, and any other factors that impact their status.

9. The federation will be run in the Great Lakes area, however their will be a few areas outside the territory that we will visit for specality shows. Also we have an open invitation to other wrestlers in other territories to send their very best to a speciality show in our federation.

10. Traveling champions. We allow champions from other territories to enter our to make rare defenses of their titles as we can send our champions out to other territories to defend their titles.

Great Lakes Card #1
Gund Arena
Cleveland Ohio

Match #1 The Armstrongs vs. The Valentines
In the first match of the Great Lakes LOW promotion The Valentines and The Armstrongs had a great match that lead to The Valentines winning with the Atomic Skullcrusher!

Match #2 Chris Candido vs. Bob Orton Sr.
In what became a better match than it looked, Orton Sr and Candido had a nail biter but in the end Orton shocked Candido with a flying cross body for the pinfall.

Match #3 Konnan vs. The Mountie
In a quick match Konnan looked to have it wrapped up with two 187's and a few pin attempts but the referee got sandwiched between the two men and went down leading to The Mountie Recovering and hitting Konnan with his Shock Stick for the victory

Match #4 Nick Bockwinkel vs. Savage T
As expected Savage T was just no match for Nick Bockwinkel. Bockwinkel put him away, after a brief rally, with a crossbody

Match #5 Buddy Rogers vs. The Missing Link
The Missing Link took it to Buddy Rogers looking to have an upset in the making, however the match spilled to the floor and the referee got caught up trying to get out of the ring, Buddy Rogers laid on the ground outside and laid a chair across his chest. The ref saw this and called for the bell. Rogers got up and ran out immedately. That Rogers pulls out a sneaky one.


* A wild start to Great Lakes Federation. A DQ in the main event will shadow this decent event. We will be headed to Michigan for the next Great Lakes show. We will be stopping by The Arena Gardens in Detroit

* We will see our other tag teams in action as The Killer Bees will take on The Hennigs. With The Hennigs vicious past can The Bees stand a chance

* Don "The Rock" Muraco will be taking on The Greek God Jim Londos. Muraco is running his mouth, stating that he will be the golden boy of Great Lakes and is the best looking ever. Londos has decided to put him in his place.

*In our Main Event we get some Japanese Flare as Giant Baba takes on South of the Border Konnan

After the Event incidents:

Bob Orton Sr. was heard around the locker room boasting about his win. He wants to be considered for a title shot or title run when the titles are announced. He was heard saying that if it didnt happen he will re-think his tenure here in Great Lakes

Nick Bockwinkel was on a local TV shot doing a spot promoting the Great Lakes Promotion. Bockwinkel Publically blasted Savage T, stating that he shouldn't be in the big leagues with his lack of ring skills. The Great Lakes Promotion has fined Mr. Bockwinkel $250 for his comments. Bockwinkel was unavailable to comment on his fine

After the event, Greg Valentine was pulled over on suspicions of DUI. After the tests came back negative, Greg Valentine was given a letter from the mayor offering his apologizes and offered to pick up Valentines Tab at the bar and offered the Great Lakes Promotion a free ad in the local paper next time they are in town.

In the battle for who is the best looking, "The Rock" Don Muraco pulled off the victory with an over the shoulder backbreaker after he used a few illegal choke holds to wear down Londos.

In what looked like a sure fire win for King Kong Bundy, Savage T actually got the submission victory after KJ Hill interfered and Savage T hit Bundy with a chair. The fans roared in delight as the underdog got the victory.

Match #4: Giant Baba vs. Konnan
In our main event we saw the match of the federation so far. Konnan's quickness vs. Baba's Power and it did not disappoint. With a ton of near falls and finishes the crowd was on their feet the whole match. It ended when Baba hit a back suplex after several Baba Chops to get the win.

Great Lakes Card #3
Conseco Fieldhouse
Indianapolis

Match #1: The Killer Bees vs. The Armstrongs
In what looked to be your average tag team match on paper, these 4 men gave us one hell of a match that had the crowd on its feet and we saw 11 near falls. We even saw a referee go down and have to be taken to the back for attention and a new ref brought out. In the end all 4 men tuckered out "Bullet" Bob got the victory for the Armstrongs and brought an end to this great match.

Match #2: The Missing Link vs. Bob Orton Sr.
Bob Orton Sr. again makes a case for wanting to be in the title race as he makes short work of Missing Link.

Orton is starting to gain some fans as he got some applause and he shook some hands as he left the ring

It seems these two had it out for each other as they quickly spilled to the ring and were both DQ'ed for brawling. They headed back to the backstage area where officials had to pull them apart.

This match looked to be all Mountie's but he got carried away and rammed Bundy into the guard rail which got him DQ'ed. Bundy gets the decision

Chris Candido has asked that his rematch with Nick Bockwinkel be in a steel cage. He was refused, telling him that the No DQ match was good enough but at the first PPV that we have he can get Bockwinkel in the cage if they are not satisifed with the outcome of their matches

The Missing Link is heard around the locker room talking about wanting to wrestle someone from another territory on our next card. We have contacted Brusier Brody out of Texas and the match will be a special attraction match for our next card!

Also the Great Lakes LOW Federation announces that the Killer Bees will return from injury for that card.

[holland227]

Jim Londos visits a local bar after the event and causes a ruckus which results in some property being destroyed at the bar. The cops arrive and offer to drop all charges if the Promotion pays $1000 in fines. Doing so keeps Londos around to wrestle.

Bob Orton Sr and Nature Boy Buddy Rogers get into a heated confrontation backstage of the event, each one telling the other that they will be the first champion. The Great Lakes Committee has decided that at the Superbrawl they will face off a match that will impact the Great Lakes LOW title.

Curt Hennig and Larry Hennig find out that their relative has passed away and must miss the next card. Therefore The Armstrong will instead face The Valentines as The Great Lakes LOW fed gives them the card off to take care of things
