The Latest News...
Palmdale, CA. - Last month "Cast Iron" Cothern defeated Simon Lotto to win the vacant Pro Wrestling Uprising World Heavyweight Championship. He soon went on the road and is currently defending the strap in his home state of Oklahoma. When he returns to Southern California in March, if he is still the champion, he will have an entirely new task ahead of him. Numerous challenges have been thrown down, and Cothern will have his hands full if he wants to hold on to the PWU World Championship.
"Big Nasty" Jason Watts - Recently won and unified the splintered EPIC WAR Championship. Currently holds numerous titles in SoCal, including the XZW Championship. The 2007 SoCalUncensored Rookie of the Year wants to have a breakthrough in 2009 and he sees the PWU World Title as a step in the right direction.
Justin Ryke - The controversial rulebreaker lost the IWL title in December. Since then, he has announced his intentions of winning the PWU World Championship. He is currently the number one contender to the title. He can be a tad...unbalanced... and he is always unpredictable. Cothern needs to keep his eye on this one.
Simon Lotto - Feels that Cothern cheated in the PWU World Championship match and has demended a rematch. The tape is being reviewed by PWU officials and a ruling will be made shortly. The referee's decision is final, but the PWU Championship Committee may rule that Cothern must defend the title in a rematch with Lotto.
As if that isn't enough, wrestlers from around the world are challenging for the strap. We have received calls and emails from promoters in Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, Mexico and Canada. The Pro Wrestling Uprising World Title is quickly becoming one of the most prestigious belts in independent wrestling today.

Tulsa, OK. - PWU World Heavyweight Champion “Cast Iron” Cothern is not popular with Oklahoma wrestling fans. In fact, “The Mucker” is pretty much despised over in Sooner Land. After his January 10th title defense in the 3-Way Dance with Shane Morbid and Eric Fantabulous, CM Burnham wrote the following review of the match in his “Ringside Review” column.
“Cast-Iron Cothern and Shane Morbid got a little taste of what it would be like to be in the ring against each other when they were part of a triple threat match against Eric Fantabulous. Fantabuilous was far from it, Cothern looked like a beached whale (in other words, normal) and Shane Morbid beat the crap out of both of them, but wasn't able to pull out the win. He did, however, cause some dental damage to Cothern, which is good. Maybe next time there can be some brain damage included. Well, some MORE brain damage as Cothern and Boss are already deficient in that area, obviously.”
It seems that “The Gentleman Thug” has a lot to overcome if he wants his title reign to last. He can’t let these kinds of reports to get to him as he gears up for his upcoming matches against Shane Morbid, Justin Ryke and EPIC WAR Champion “Big Nasty” Jason Watts.
