HONKY TONK MAN MATCH OFFICIALLY SIGNED FOR MARCH 11

Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling returns to the famed Turner’s Hall, located at 7325 Guthrie Ave. in Cleveland, on Sunday afternoon March 11. Doors open at 2 p.m. for our recently-altered belltime of 3 p.m. This WILL be a taping for CAPW TV on Sports Time Ohio, so bring your signs, banners, and enthusiasm, and be prepared to have your image available in nearly 3 million homes in the state of Ohio, and nationwide on select systems. Tickets are available in advance at any of our ticket outlets, and also at the door the afternoon of the event. Get ready for three solid hours of the best professional wrestling in the area: Cleveland All-Pro Wrestling.

We can now confirm our first official match, a very special attraction, has been signed for that afternoon:

The Honky Tonk Man vs. Lord Zoltan
It will be a rare “Legends Match” as two timeless greats step foot into the ring at one time. In one corner will be the legendary Lord Zoltan, whose in-ring career spans over 30 years and is still going strong. Zoltan is one of the most well-known names in independent wrestling in the Ohio/Pennsylvania area of all time and it’ll be a rare treat to see him step into a CAPW ring on March 11. However, his opposition is someone also very familiar to fans from the past and present alike. The man who holds the record, which still stands today, for the longest WWF/WWE Intercontinental Title reign (14 months), and that record can only belong to one individual…the man who says he’s cool, he’s cocky, and he’s bad: The Honky Tonk Man! HTM invades CAPW but will encounter something he rarely sees anymore…someone who can match, if not surpass, Honky in experience.

UPDATE IN CAPW TAG TITLE CONTROVERSY

Many of you will recall the events that unfolded surrounding the CAPW Tag Titles at our last live event early this month. Irish Airborne, scheduled to challenge Tag Champions Faith in Nothing, were unable to appear that afternoon due to some very suspicious transportation problems. Q & A, who were not scheduled to appear, did in fact show up, complete with gear, and a suspicious smirk and cocky swagger. With the Airborne eliminated from the picture, Q & A replaced them as #1 Contenders, and defeated the champions via disqualification. Q & A have claimed they deserve another championship opportunity as a result of defeating the champs, however reports say an angry Irish Airborne still lay claim to the shot, and blame Q & A for sabotaging the Airborne’s scheduled title match earlier this month.

When confronted about this issue earlier this week, CAPW management made their official ruling on the matter. Since both the Airborne and Q & A were promised title opportunities following their draw in January’s #1 Contender’s Match, the only fair decision is to grant The Irish Airborne their rightful opportunity at the gold, especially considering the dubious methods Q & A allegedly went through in order to get their opportunity bumped up a month. Faith In Nothing WILL defend the Tag Titles against Irish Airborne on March 11 whether Q & A like it or not.
