CLPW returns to Harvard IL on 1/23/10

To the entire CLPW Village, we are only 2 more days until THE CAGE MADNESS invades the stratford in Harvard, IL. Two days until the historic return of Joey "The Pitbull" Cece! Two days until young Jason Kross successfully defends his Pro-X Championship. Two days until CLPW's first ever female triple threat match with the lovely December, Juliet the Huntress & a mystery gal. Two days to settle a rivalry between Johnny Armonni and Nick H. Two days until CLPW finally crowns Tag Team Champions in a steel cage. Two days until two Chicago Land area Legends Frank "The Tank" Melson squares off against "The Diceman" Ronnie Vegas with special guest referee Diamond Dallas Page. Finally, two days until CLPW will hopefully get rid of Kermit the Frog and the WI Buffoon Howie for good.

The only stalking going on will be that fedora wearing, viagra popping goof that will be driving poor Ms. Midnite crazy.

On a serious note, the wrestling community lost a few great people on both the national and local scene. The CLPW Village as a whole mourned the passings of ex-WWE great Ludvig Borga, the mother of CLPW great Ronnie Vegas and the honorable Ed Chuman from NWA Midwest. Those three helped to create good times for us wrestling fans. We will honor them by creating a historic wrestling night on January 23rd in Harvard, IL. On The Mat will be there to capture this great evening on film. Let all of us show up to the Stratford as one big giant family. We are the CLPW VILLAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only one day until OUR CLPW CHAMP retains his title and turns his challengers and detractors (and you know who you are!) green with envy.
I bid you all adieu for now, as I must make the long journey to an undisclosed planet to make final preparations for THE CHAMP's victory party.

If you haven't checked out my pro wrestling column in Thursday's (1/21) SouthtownStar yet, the article on Page 11 of Fifty-Two Weekends (the newspaper's Thursday entertainment magazine) features information on CLPW's Saturday (1/23) show in Harvard.

You can check out the online version of the article at:

I'm also looking for comments on my "Elaborating on Entertainment" blog topic titled "From the Readers: Pro wrestling vs. MMA and boxing" at:

blogs.southtownstar.com/entertainment/2010/01/from_the_readers_pro_wrestling.html

A few notes about using the "Leave a comment" feature on the blog:

-- While there is a field asking you to provide your e-mail address, that e-mail address will not be shown to the public once your comment is posted.

-- The grey Captcha box sometimes trips up people because it's hard to see and very particular about the characters being typed in exactly. To be on the safe side, you should copy your text elsewhere before hitting the Submit button in case the Captcha kicks out your comment.

-- If you've used the "Leave a comment" feature correctly, you'll get a message saying that your submission is pending approval. Note: I approve all non-spam comments as soon as I see they have been submitted.

Greetings earthlings! I have returned from the udisclosed planet, which will host OUR CLPW CHAMP's victory party after his successful title defense, and am pleased to report the gala should top the one that celebrated THE CHAMP's title win. For those not on the exclusive VIP invitation-only guest list, you should be jealous! I now must bid you adieu once more to set up flares near the Stratford to guide the arriving starships from the far reaches of he solar system, carrying the CHAMP's numerous fan club memberships.
