This episode of GMW-TV aired on March 28, 2002.
Starting off the show this week, Lou Bordeaux and Ron Lemieux welcomed new GMW President Sean O' Reilly to the program. O' Reilly commented on the fact that Maverick Wild and Alex Arion had a great match in the TV main event on last week's show, despite the match being cut short by the TV curfew. He continued by inviting both men out to discuss their match from the previous week's show. Wild and Arion then joined O' Reilly and at the President's insistence, Wild and Arion shook hands to cement their main event match coming up on April 27th in Littleton, NH at "A Fight at the Opera"!
Following a short break, "No Respect" Aaron Morrison and "Wrong Way" Johnny Royal came out for a brief interview. Morrison commented that his team should unquestionably be the number one contenders for the GMW Tag Team Titles currently held by The Egomaniacs. He rightly argued that of late they've defeated the Goodspeed's and haven't been able to get a match with Curry & Cruz, the current #1 contenders. Time will tell if these two do indeed get their chance to become the new GMW Tag Team Champions.
Next we saw a short highlight segment of a recent match between "Wrong Way" Johnny Royal and Mark Vincent. Vincent was declared the winner by DQ when Aaron Morrison jumped into the ring to attack him and then was joined by Royal! Johnny Curtis ran in to make the save and scattered Morrison and Royal. Following the highlight clips, the action in the ring was a tag match pitting the newly formed duo of Curtis and Vincent against Morrison and Royal. Curtis and Vincent put up a great effort throughout the match. In the long run, the experience and brawn of Morrison and Royal proved too much as Johnny Royal caught Curtis in his Olympic Slam, Aaron Morrison followed this with a tremendous leg drop from the top rope for the victory. Morrison and Royal once again solidifying their argument for being the #1 GMW Tag Team contenders.
Ron Lemieux then had an interview with "Irresistible" Jonny Idol and Mike Steele, The Egomaniacs...the current GMW Tag Team Champions. The Egomaniacs have held the titles (except for a short title reign by the Goodspeed's) for over two years. Without coming right out and saying it, they alluded to the fact that they are ready to dive headfirst into some singles matches with the elite of GMW, namely GMW Champion, Maverick Wild and GMW King of the Mountain TV Champion, Alex Arion. It may be just a matter of time until Idol and Steele lay claim to all of the GMW hardware!
The next match in the ring featured "Irresistible" Jonny Idol as he squared off with the always dangerous man from Little Tokyo, New York in Kid Mikaze. Both men turned it up a notch for this contest. Idol, who knew that he didn't have the luxury of his usual tag partner in Mike Steele to turn to for assistance. Mikaze who has been around GMW rings for about six months now and is ready to be the next big breakout star in Green Mountain Wrestling. Idol used his size advantage to his benefit as he continued to wear down Mikaze. The end for the Kid came when Idol planted him with an unbelievable tornado DDT for the pinfall victory.
Tarzan Taylor and Scott Dickinson then joined the program for an interview. Taylor is livid that he has been overlooked for a rematch against Maverick Wild. The former champ claims that "everybody in Green Mountain Wrestling is on notice" until he receives his return bout for GMW gold!
This week's TV main event saw former GMW Champion, Tarzan Taylor square off with Antonio Thomas. Thomas, who put up a great battle in the Slamtech Scramble recently at VindiKatioN didn't back down for one second against Taylor. After Thomas nearly won the match and scored a couple of near falls on Taylor, he fell victim to the Taylor Bomb finisher (a chokeslam into a sit out power bomb). Taylor however decided that Antonio hadn't yet had enough. He continued to abuse Thomas and then set him up and delivered a second Taylor Bomb. Out of nowhere, Jeff Goodspeed ran to the ring to help out Thomas. After Taylor and Dickinson cleared the ringside area, Jeff challenged Taylor to a match at the upcoming "A Fight at the Opera" as the show came to a close.
