Bronson bombs
in squared circle

A 2-on-1 match, a Bombing raid and an interference-aided win.
Another night of NWA/WOWF wrestling took place Saturday night in downtown Union City.
In what was supposed to be a tag-team match, Joseph Bourne had to take on the EMTs and fought hard only to lose.
Bull Bronson successfully defended his NWA Mid-South heavyweight title by defeating Tornado but then kept dishing out Bull Bombs on Tornado until The Fabulous Rocker hit Bronson with a chair to end the assault.
“The Golden Boy” Greg Anthony got some outside interference from Jeremy Moore to pin “The Trendsetter” Jon Michael.
Other matches saw Moore defeat Derrick King and Rocker beat Chad Williams.
This week’s main event will feature an NWA mid-South title match between Bronson and Rocker.
