Supercard Thursday... Great Championship Wrestling!!!

Today -- GCW will be running at the GCW Arena in Phenix City, AL.

It was less than one week ago that Micah Taylor was able to defeat Cru Jones, Johnny Swinger, and Bull Buchanan in a 4 Way match, to win the GCW's top honor. Now Jones' tag team partner Shaun Banks receives a title shot against Taylor. Taylor's road has been a rough one since rejoining the ranks of NWA GCW and Banks hopes to end the week long celebration that Micah and his wife Tracy have been enjoying.

From the fall out of the 4 way match, Bull Buchanan and Johnny Swinger will finally have an opportunity to clash for the first time all year. Swinger as champion ducked Buchanan left and right. And the first time they battled was in the Four Way. But their unfinished business comes to a head this Thursday.

And finally the big re-match from the "Fred Ward Memorial 08" The "80's Guy" John Bogie and Kareem Abdul Jamar defend the titles against the former champs, the Merchants of Death. Will the path of destruction from the MOD lead them to a second tag title reign, or will the team of Bogie and Jamar extend their reign.

All of this comes to a head, tonight!

GCW's final card for the Fred Ward Memorial '08

NWA Great Championship Wrestling has quickly become one of the most talked about promotions in the Alliance. GCW manages to combine a wealth of talent from across the world. Sonny Siaki, Bull Buchanan, Johnny Swinger, Micah Taylor and a new breed of wrestlers like Cru Jones, Scotty Beach, J-Rod, and Shaun Banks. And this Sept. 4th, GCW promises to deliver on the biggest card of the year.

Cru Jones, GCW Heavyweight Champion will do battle against Bull Buchanan in a violent clash. Buchanan has patiently waited for his opportunity at the title. Little did Buchanan know that the champion would come after him. Jones and tag team partner Banks beat down Buchanan and used a rope to hang them. The match has been signed to give Bull that opportunity for redemption and a chance at glory, in a Bull Rope Match.

The fire that burns inside former NWA United Nations champion Micah Taylor is intense. Swinger has taken everything away from Taylor. His aspirations for a GCW Heavyweight title and more importantly the love of his life, his wife Tracy Taylor. Since June, Swinger has found ways to punish Taylor for his pursuit of the Heavyweight Title. In the ALL or NOTHING match-up, Micah will team up with Diane Hewes (50% Owner of GCW) against Johnny Swinger and his manager Quentin Michaels (also 50% owner of GCW.) If Micha and Diane are victorious he wins the freedom of Tracy and 100% ownership returns to Diane Hewes. If Swinger and Michaels are victorious, Tracy and Micha will become the property of Swinger and Quentin will become the sole voice of power in the GCW.

Also on the card will be a match up between the new GCW Tag Team Champions the Merchants of Death against John Bogie and Kareem Abdul Jamar, with the stipulation that the Fans pick the stipulation. J-Rod also puts his Interstate Championship on the line in a First Blood Match against former Tag Team Champion Shaun Banks. Scotty Beach will challenge "Mean" Mike Stratus and if he's victorious he'll get 5 Minutes of Revenge against his nemesis Princeton Gainey, who has been verbally attacking Beach for weeks.

Plus Sonny Siaki will be in attendance. And now that his opponent David Young has parted ways with GCW, what will Siaki's role be at this event? Whom will feel his wrath?

Main Event announced for Fred Ward Memorial 08

From NWA GCW

In light of the events that took place this past Thursday in Phenix City, Great Championship Wrestling has announced that the main event of the Fred Ward Memorial will be Cru Jones versus Bull Buchanan in a Bull Rope Match for the GCW Heavyweight Title.

For those of you who missed it, GCWACTION.COM will have footage later this week of last Thursdays massacre by Cru Jones on Bull Buchanan, which lead to this monumental main event match being signed for September 4th at the Fred Ward Memorial.

Things are heating up at the Great Skate Plex. In July Cru Jones, 1/2 of Hot Like Lava, parlayed his Tag Team Championship success into a one night tournament to determine a new number one contender. Not only did Jones defeated Scotty Beach, but he also defeated tag team partner Shaun Banks and David Young before becoming the number one challenger to Johnny Swinger. Staying Hot, Jones ended up defeating Micha Taylor in a triple threat match against Taylor and Heavyweight Champion Johnny Swinger.

In between trips to Pro Wrestling NOAH, Bull Buchanan teamed up with Scotty Beach and defeated the champs, Hot Like Lava.
