Price of Glory Card Rocks Coldwater!

An enthusias himtic crowd of 50 fans were treated to a wild night of action at The Michigan Sports Camp presntation of "Moment of Truth. The evening featured a four man "chaotic tournament," and a title defense by P.O.G. champ, Jimmy "The Hype" Shalwin.

The opener featured Louis Linden squaring off against Mr. Nifty, who was accompanied by "The Believers," Mike Musso, and Russ Jones. After ten minutes of spirited action, Linden won with a Moonsault and Press, but that wasn't the end! All three of the heels confronted Linden and tried to recruit him to join the "Believers."

He declined to "drink the Koolaid,"--I'm not using a metaphor! Mr. Nifty and his associates had a jar of Koolaid.

Next up was the first match of the Chaotic Tournament, Jack "Chill" Verville, faced Jonny Lawless in a "submissions count anywhere" match. After spirited action, in and out of the ring, Verville gained the nod by forcing Lawless to tap-out with a choke.

Before the next bout Hardcore Harry, the Chaotic Champion, was interviewed and asked whether he would accept the challenge of "Hardcore Harley." He quickly agreed to a match on the next P.O.G. card.

The 3rd bout of the evening saw A. J. "Pace" Picante face Sean Tyler( I think that was his name, I couldn't quite catch it over the crowd noise!)Tyler won, but both men stayed in character, told a story, and got the crowd involved!

Last match of the first half of the show was match number two of the Chaotic Tourney. Champion Hardcore Harry lost his title to Max "Gameboy" Morrison in a Hardcore match after "The Believers" forced him to drink the Koolaid (seriously).

After the intermission, $Dollar$, and Noah Lott faced off against "The Believers," in a "Number One Contenders Match." Dollar and Lott won with a "Noah's Arc, and a moonsault and body press by dollar. Both Musso, and Jones of The Believers got in plenty of offense in a losing effort.

In the final bout of the Chaotic Tourny, Morrison defeated Jack verville in a "Power Glove" match, in which the glove played no role at all! Though the Koolaid once again did.

In a very good face vs face match, Keith Creme won over Ryan Epic in an "old school" scientific match which featured lots of chain wrestling.

The main event saw Jimmy "The Hype" Shalwin put the P.O.G. title on the line against Jamie Eternal. Shalwin was, of course, accompanied to the ring by the "Belivers," who were soon ordered to the back by the referee.

The match itself was a kind of plodding affair (or as my wife described it: a "bitch slap" contest!). Shalwin's comedic touch helped, but the styles of these two did not make for much excitement. Max Morrison snuck the Koolaid to Shalwin, who spewed some into Eternal's face, but apparently swallowed some himself, as he collapsed outside the ring. This gave Eternal the win--but not the title! Anybody besides me see a rematch coming up?

Next P.O.G. Card: March 21st "Resurection"
