Great Lakes SPecial Report!
Ladies and Gentleman we were there when Jim Londos came out of jail and recovered his belongings. Jim Londos told our reporters that he still can't remember what happened that night. As Londos collected his belongings, there was a sealed note inside his pocket. Jim took it out and grew furious and outraged and threw it to the ground as he stormed out to his car to leave. Our camera caught the note on the ground.. they were divorce papers!!!! More on this when we get it folks!!!

Brad Armstrong was on a local radio station praising the Great Lakes Promotion.
Don Muraco held a press conference right after Londos got out of prison. Don Muraco called Londos a drunk and that his wife filing for divorce was a great thing for her. She needed to dump that loser. HE is a loser because Muraco beat him in their feud but when Londos gets back he will put him back in his place. Londos busted in the press conference carrying a Hawaiian Shirt asking Muraco why he found this at his house? Muraco tossed the podium on Londos and dodged out the back. Londos got up and followed him where Muraco got into a car with a blonde woman driving and got away as Londos was livid.
Buddy Rogers no showed an autograph session for the fans. Rogers called in stating that the fans weren't good enough to see him for free. Great Lakes fined him $1000 and told him that he would sit out Card #20

Masked Superstar and Curt Hennig were seen buddy buddy in a bar outside of Dayton. It was also rumored that Bobby Heenan was present but we could not get confirmation on that.
Team Extreme have been ordered to defend their tag team titles on Card #21 but they get to choose the opponents. Team Extreme chose The Valentines and it will be a hardcore match!
Buddy Rogers felt his suspension was a spit in his face and demanded a Heavyweight Title shot and it will be granted Card #21

It took all of Great Lakes Security to break these three up!

An exciting championship match. Both men gave it their all in this one. It looked like Buddy Rogers was about to become a 2 time champion but Bockwinkel rolled out of the Figure four and locked on a figure four of his own in the middle of the ring to get the victory and retain his title!

Nick BOckwinkel was on Local TV today proclaiming himself the greatest Great Lakes Champion to ever live. He states that no one will be able to take the title from him, not even Curt Hennig who faces him at Card #24 for the title!
The Armstrongs in Trouble? Sources close to the Great Lakes Promotion tell us Bob and Brad where seen at a local restaurant getting irate at some fan asking for autographs and Brad got in a heated exchange with the fans, and there was a scuffle. No charges filed and Great Lakes has no comment on the matter at this time
Larry Hennig is enjoying his vacation he is on. While his son Curt is charging towards a title, Larry reported that he is enjoying his much deserved rest in the Bahamas. Larry would not comment on when he will be back but he has said that he will be back!
