- Xion pinned Marconi (pulling the trunks)
- Hayes pinned Xion (Pick-Me-Up – fireman’s carry into double knee strike)

Hayes and J-Rocc battled outside when a fan in a Mushroom Head mask threw powder into Hayes’ eyes. He unmasked to reveal “TheeStar” PJ Kinney. J-Rocc hit the One-Hitter Quitter for the victory, which Waylon reluctantly counted.

J-ROCC is the King of Cleveland!

7. In a steel cage match, John McChesney pinned Ray Rowe to retain the Firestorm title and force Rowe to leave town
- Death Rowe (Ray’s own finisher), then Superkick

Rowe thanked the fans and his fiancée Samantha Anne, and said they were moving to Texas to live their dreams and start a family.

The fans chanted “THANK YOU RAY!” Firestorm co-owner JC said this chapter of Firestorm’s history (The Chapter of Rowe) is finished. The first was The Chapter of The Deviant (Michael Hutter, now in FCW as Derrick Bateman). What will unfold in the next chapter of Firestorm Pro Wrestling?

Updated Card-List of Participants

“KING of CLEVELAND” on MARCH 19

King of Cleveland will be a history-making night in Firestorm Pro Wrestling. Fans will enjoy a one-of-a-kind 30-man battle royale, and Ray Rowe will either regain the Firestorm title or leave the Cleveland wrestling scene.


“Big League” John McChesney goaded Rowe into a title shot on Feb. 5 and walked away as the two-time Firestorm champion. Rowe, still bent on revenge for McChesney’s horrendous attack on his fiancée, Samantha, in December, has put his career on the line in the rematch…which will take place in a steel cage!


“Kegstand” Patrick Hayes has reclaimed his spot as the No. 1 contender to the Firestorm title, but he can’t see his way to the gold because he is blinded by his desire for revenge against the wrestler formerly known as Starless.

Now known as “TheeStar” P.J. Kinney, the reinstated villain will do anything to take down one of the men he perceives as the “chosen favorites” of Firestorm co-owner JC.

However, revenge will have to wait for both men, as Kinney has produced a doctor’s note claiming that Kinney suffered a broken rib while battling “Bloody” Morty Rackem.

Instead, Hayes will battle Bill Collier, who was previously declared the No. 1 contender but was unable to make it through the snowstorm to claim his title shot in February. Hayes and Collier will battle to determine the true No. 1 contender.

Rufio will make his singles debut in Firestorm after his longtime Cut Throat Crew partner, “Bloody” Morty Rackem has taken his talents to Florida. The popular Rufio will take on Rocky Reynolds from Erie, Pa., who will be making his Firestorm debut.


Club DB (Justin, CJ, and Brosa) has dominated the Firestorm tag team scene and maintained a stranglehold on the tag team belts. They were scheduled to battle Matthew Justice & Nicky Valentino in a non-title match.

However, Valentino is sidelined with a hernia. Instead, The Aftermath will team for the first time with his brother, Ares, to battle the Pittsburgh party posse. Now that Aftermath has finished his war with “The Big Daddy of Destruction” J-Rocc, he can take aim at the tag team titles with his brother.

Justice will still compete in the King of Cleveland match, while Valentino does live color commentary with Jeff Gorman.


Gorman’s usual partner, Machine Gun Kelly, has a special assignment: interviewing Firestorm Pro Wrestling’s only two-time champion, “Big League” John McChesney on a live version of his controversial Internet talk show, "The Shootout."


Sassy Stephanie has dominated the female competition in Firestorm. She will try to keep her undefeated streak alive when she faces county gal Brittany McCoy.

Will we see interference from Team Big League members Collin Ta This and Notorious Shane Taylor? If so, will Brittany’s cousin, Jedediah McCoy, be able to stop them?


Shiima Xion totally disrespected one of the most successful wrestlers to come out of Cleveland in the last two decades, Lou Marconi, in November.

Marconi responded by locking him in the crossface and refusing to let go when Xion was in the ropes, costing Marconi the match on a disqualification.

The rematch will be a battle for respect and a valuable prize: the No. 30 spot in the King of Cleveland match.


“King of Cleveland” will be a 30-man, Royal Rumble-style battle royale with a twist. The Final Four will do battle elimination style until one man is crowned King of Cleveland!
