Another amazing night at New South Wrestling last night as 'Americana' delivered everything that was promised!  A hard hitting technical main event featured New South Champion Baron Black successfully defending against Independent stand out Fred Yehi in one of the top five New South matches in the promotion's history.  It was announced that the Main Event of the New South 2nd Anniversary Show will be a STEEL CAGE MATCH for the New South Championship as the champion Baron Black defends against the #1 contender and his #1 rival Odinson!  Also the first ever New South Tag Team Champions will crowned in a Ladder Match as the Monarchy (Prince Apollo/AJ Gray) take on The Dumpster Divers (Cabana Man Dan/Dump Sanders) and the Violent Gentlemen (Scott Morgan/Ayden Andrews).  The Violent Gentlemen made their debut at 'Americana' earning 8 points in the standings of the Southern Grand Prix and the respect of every fan at the Civic Center in Hartselle, Alabama.  For more info on the New South 2nd Anniversary Show and all things New South, follow them on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/NewSouthprowrestling/

Pics from Saturday night's OWO SuperShow featuring Scott Steiner!

OWO SuperShow returned to Amory, Mississippi on Saturday night headlined by "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner & "Bad Attitude" Tony Dabbs taking on the "Hollywood Clique" (Neil 'the Real Deal' Taylor & Cameron Valentine) w/"Hollywood" Jimmy Blaylock.  A great night of action once again from OWO.  Locals to Legends.com was sad to learn that Cameron Valentine suffered a neck injury during this match and everyone here at the site wishes him a very speedy recovery!
