IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

CZW OFFICIAL SITE
CZW FORUM/Message Board

In the last couple days, exclusive videos have aired on CZWrestling.com from Danny Havoc, Ian Rotten, Nick Berk and of course Hollywood Dylan Summers showing their reactions coming out of March's "Lights, Camera, CZW..." event. This afternoon, Lobo viewed the corresponding videos and contacted CZWNews to make an announcement for April 5th's return to the New Alhambra.

"This situation is becoming more and more troubling for everyone involved here at Combat Zone Wrestling," said Lobo. "Dylan Summers and Nicky Benz have really gone beyond the boundaries of fair play when it comes to Danny Havoc, to the point where I'm disgusted that I used to consider Summers a friend..."

"I can't force Dylan or Nicky Benz to do anything," continued Lobo. "But, if they are going to show up at the New Alhambra and expect to get paid on April 5th, they are going to have to do it by facing Danny Havoc in that black and yellow ring."

With that, Lobo has ordered that on April 5th, the "Hollywood" Necro Butcher must come face to face with Danny Havoc in the CZW ring whether he likes it or not... or else his days as a paid member of the CZW roster will come to an end.

Stay tuned in the coming days to CZWrestling.com for more information on this apparent new matchup, and for a potential response from Nicky Benz as to the One Man Army's ruling. CZW returns to the New Alhambra on Saturday, April 5 and tickets are still available and can be purchased on CZW's website, or at the New Alhambra box office on the day of the show.- If you can't make the event April 5th CZW and Wrestling-Radio.com will be running a LIVE EVENT Chat and Results

Sunday night, April 6: 10:00 pm & 3:00 am

Currently scheduled for the next premiere broadcast:

BANE PLANS TO CONFRONT CRONUS & AARON MAGUIRE
In each of Bane's last two matches on Sports Time Ohio, we have seen the appearance of two very unwanted visitors: the indestructible Cronus, along with his money-hungry agent Aaron Maguire. Maguire's message was clear: He takes objection to Bane's claims of being the most dominant man in Ohio, instead of his unstoppable monster Cronus. Maguire has laid out an open challenge to Bane on two occasions, but both times has not stuck around to follow through on them. Bane has promised to be in attendance this week and to personally seek out and confront both Cronus & Aaron Maguire in the broadcast. Will Bane find what he's looking for? Will Aaron Maguire let his charge Cronus stick around long enough for confrontation this week? And who truly is the most dominant man in Ohio today?

N8 MATTSON vs. JUSTIN IDOL
The Michigan elitist Mattson has been quick to boast about never being pinned in a PWO ring, however his opponent this week is gracing a PWO ring for the very first time. Justin Idol has made quite a reputation for himself in the tri-state area, capturing numerous championships over the past several years. This week, Idol makes his way to PWO in an attempt to prove himself to a new crop of competition. Will Idol be able to silence the loudmouth from Michigan or will N8 Mattson add another amazing feat to his list of accomplishments?

GREGORY IRON vs. MATTHEW JUSTICE
The positive wave of momentum for Gregory Iron continues as he heads into battle against his friend and one-time tag partner, Matthew Justice. However, with mounting concerns by doctors fearing Iron is showing lingering post-concussion symptoms, and mounting threats by jealous and insecure rival Johnny Gargano, is Iron pushing himself too far too fast too soon? Matthew Justice, one-half of the Socks of Justice, will use his daredevil skills to try to keep his winning ways as partner Charles "White Socks" Johnson recovers from lingering injuries. Will Iron be able to continue the upward momentum or will Justice finally end his good luck?

JIMMY DEMARCO vs. MARION FONTAINE
When the bizarre "DeeeLicious" Jimmy DeMarco made his PWO debut a few weeks ago, he set out to make a statement, a very physical and painful statement. However, when Marion Fontaine came to the aid of DeMarco's fallen opponent, the self-proclaimed "Prime Minister of Perversion" DeMarco took exception. This week, DeMarco meets Fontaine one-on-one in a match of two very unique personalities.

DEBUT OF THE ROCK SHOW
Ernie Ballz & Brian Bender of The Clash have promised to debut the newest, most exciting segment in wrestling today, something they call "The Rock Show". They promised it will put any and all other past wrestling interview segments to shame and feature only the biggest stars being asked the probing questions. What major league star do The Clash have lined up to join them in their debut broadcast and what could possibly unfold with The Clash in control of an entire segment of PWO TV?

Plus: "M-Dogg 20" Matt Cross, "Bloody" Morty Rackem, and more!

Tune in the weekend of March 29 for all this and more! Remember, Pro Wrestling Ohio is only available on Sports Time Ohio!

IWF Heavyweight Title Rematch Tops March Madness Weekend:
New Champ Defends at Live Events March 29-30 in West Paterson, NJ

(WEST PATERSON, NJ)- The Independent Wrestling Federation returns with March Madness Weekend live events Saturday, March 29, 7:30 pm and Sunday, March 30, 3 pm at IWF Centre, 32 Willow Way, West Paterson, NJ. Here is a preview of the upcoming cards.

Day one on March 29 features a Double Main Event. In a return bout for the IWF Heavyweight Title, former two-time champion Tony Torres tangles with new champion Travis Blake with Commissioner Rich Ross. Blake upended Torres to capture the gold on behalf of The Ross Family last month at February Fury to end Tony's six-month title reign. Blake, a triple crown winner having held the Heavyweight, American and Tag Team Titles, looks to turn away the challenge of Torres who wants to claim the belt for a third time.

In an Intergender Tag Team Match, American Champion Kevin Knight teams with popular diva Jana to battle former Junior Champion Chris Steeler and flamboyant Cameron Matthews. Jana and Steeler battled for much of 2007 while the newcomer Matthews nearly won the title from Knight in January. Now these adversaries try to settle their differences in this encounter.

The IWF Tag Team Champions see singles competition as Justin Corino meets Biggie Biggs, while Frank Scoleri faces Mike Jenkins. How will the tag champs fare in one-on-one action against their arch-rivals?

In an IWF Junior Heavyweight Title Match, two-time champion Antonio Rivera squares off against challenger Evan Schwartz. Rivera reclaimed the gold last month from Steeler at February Fury, but Schwartz plans to make it a short-lived celebration as he attempts to win his first championship.

Rookie standout Kareem West faces an uphill challenge against the 340-pound mastodon Franciz with Rich Ross. In other action, its a battle of the big men as Portuguese powerhouse Dan Marques wrestles the rugged Bryan Harley. Also appearing are Barry Delaney and much more to be announced.

Day two on Sunday, March 30 begins with a special 3 pm bell-time and also features a Double Main Event. Ross Family and Latin Revolution members meet one-on-one as IWF Heavyweight Champion Travis Blake faces Junior Champion Antonio Rivera. It remains to be seen if either man will enter this contest with their title reigns intact.

In an IWF Tag Team Title Match, fun-loving Biggie Biggs and maniac Mike Jenkins...known affectionately as "Bigg Nuts" look to upend two-time champions Justin Corino and Frank Scoleri. In January at Winter Warfare, Biggs and Jenkins took the champs to the edge in a time-limit draw. Last month at February Fury, Biggs and Jenkins regained the number one contender's spot, and now hope to extract the belts from "Pretty Smart" duo.

The IWF American Title is on the line as champion Kevin Knight defends against Chris Steeler in their first-ever singles meeting. Knight took pleasure in Steeler's temper tantrum last month after losing the Junior Title. Now Steeler looks for more gold in attempting to end Kevin's seven-month reign.

In other action, Tony Torres faces Bryan Harley, Jana meets Franciz of The Ross Family, Kareem West opposes Cameron Matthews, while Jason Roberts with Miss Kristina grapples Evan Schwartz. Also appearing are Matt Bennett, Barry Delaney and much more to be announced. For information visit www.WrestlingIWF.com. Cards subject to change.

Looking ahead to next month, IWF presents the 11th Annual Anniversary Events Reckless Abandon Weekend featuring WWE Legend The Honky Tonk Man..."The Greatest Intercontinental Champion of All-Time!" The events take place Friday, April 18, 8 pm, and Sunday, April 20, 4 pm at IWF Centre, West Paterson, NJ.

Mamajuana, the 400 year old Caribbean cocktail and trusted aid of world-renowned playboy Porfirio Rubirosa has been recreated for a new age. It debuts today in the United States as MAMAJUANA ENERGY, a 2 oz. energy shot that provides an all-natural energy boost, increased stamina as well as the legendary virility qualities of the original.

When John Layfield, former World Champion WWE Superstar, Fox Business Financial Analyst and Texas-born entrepreneur, discovered the recipe a little over a year ago in the Caribbean, he immediately began work on bringing this small yet powerful concoction to the US and beyond. "I believed there was an opportunity to recreate it as an all-natural new age beverage that would taste good and add fun and excitement to people's lives" said Layfield, CEO of Layfield Energy, Inc. "With the launch of MamaJuana Energy, we're taking energy drinks to a new place."

To create a formula for distribution in America, Layfield partnered with Baywood International Inc. (OTC: BAYW.OB), a leading nutraceutical company focused on all-natural, herbal supplements and remedies. The result is a non-alcoholic drink with a hint of berry that can be enjoyed straight up or blended with rum, vodka or other spirits. MamaJuana Energy will be available at stores nationwide and online at www.MamaJuanaEnergy.com.

Layfield Energy is a targeted nutrition company offering MamaJuana Energy, a new energy drink for men that improves sexual performance, and 418 Energy, the first energy drink formulated specifically for golfers. MamaJuana Energy is available online at www.MamaJuanaEnergy.com and soon at stores everywhere. 418 Energy will be available in pro shops nationwide, with partners and information at www.TShotEnergy.com. Layfield Energy is based in Scottsdale, Ariz. and is a joint venture of Layfield, Inc. and Baywood International, Inc., a publicly traded nutraceutical company under ticker: BAYW.OB. The founder and CEO of Layfield Energy is John Layfield, a legend in sports entertainment and business.
