Fascinating idea. I feel like a round-robin tournament is also a good way to introduce the first few shows. It gets the World Championship off to a head start. So far, so good. I'll be watching.
North Pro #1
January 20, 2024
Keystone Centre
Brandon, Manitoba
The first show in North Pro kicks off with a sell-out crowd. Orlando Jordan stands in the ring with a microphone and welcomes everyone to the show and says that there is a huge night ahead of us with lots of surprises in store including the first matches in the North Pro Championship tournament. He announces that he has been elected as North Pro Matchmaker and that tonight kicks off with a tag team match featuring The Bollywood Boyz against Flip Gordon and Samuray Del Sol!
------------
THE BOLLYWOOD BOYZ (HARV AND GURV SIRHA) DEF. FLIP GORDON AND SAMURAY DEL SOL
via submission (8:08)
A great back and forth highflying match to open the first North Pro show sees both teams get a fair amount of offense until Gurv manages to lock in the Cloverleaf on Gordon, forcing him to submit.
Following the match, The Bollywood Boyz get on the microphone and introduce their associate…MAHABALI SHERA who comes to the ring and grabs the microphone from Harv and introduces the collective but says that they do not need a name as their ring work will do the talking and they will win things fair and square.
------------
Orlando Jordan appears on the video screen and announces that the next match will feature two of North Pro’s newest signings…Leon Ruff and…Mustafa Ali!
------------
MUSTAFA ALI DEF. LEON RUFF
via submission (12:16)
Another highflying showcase between two fantastic talents and new signings to North Pro. Ruff gets several near falls on Ali but in the end, Ali manages to lock in the Koji Clutch to get the pinfall victory.
Ali demands a microphone and cuts a promo saying that he was disrespected in the United States and if Canada decides that they want to disrespect him, they will feel his wrath. He says that tonight is just the beginning and that Mustafa Ali will be a household name and will be the #1 signing in North Pro history.

NORTH PRO CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT ROUND ROBIN #1
JEFF COBB DEF. SHAWN SPEARS
via pinfall (5:14)
Cobb dominates Spears from the opening bell, battering him and throwing him all around, showcasing his superior strength. Spears tries to fight back into the match but Cobb takes him on a Tour of the Islands to get the pinfall and all important 3 points in the championship tournament.
------------
MAIN EVENT
NORTH PRO CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT ROUND ROBIN #2
ERIC YOUNG DEF. DIRTY DANGO
via pinfall (10:28)
Two veterans going at it in the first match of Group A is an entertaining affair for the fans here in Manitoba. There’s a few comedy spots from the two men but Young suddenly gets serious when two masked men emerge from behind the curtain. Young gets vicious and begins to batter Dango and hits him with The Edge of Sanity to get the pinfall victory and earn 3 points in the championship tournament.
Following the match, the two masked men enter the ring and stand on either side of Eric Young before removing their masks revealing Axel Tischer and Killian Dain. Young demands a microphone and says that they are here to bring some sanity to North Pro before throwing the microphone to the ground.

North Pro #2
January 27, 2024
Keystone Centre
Brandon, Manitoba
The second show in North Pro history kicked off in the Keystone Centre once again but this time, Mustafa Ali opened the show decked out in a suit. It is clear that Ali is overjoyed at the fact that he is in North Pro and that Canada has welcomed him as their own but his promo quickly devolved into insults being thrown at the fans in attendance. Ali made it clear that he will not take any disrespect and that he is Canada’s greatest son. The crowd was not too pleased with this and were elated when the trio of Mahabali Shera, Harv and Gurv Sihra interrupted him.
On the ramp, Shera declared that he and his brothers in arms will not allow anyone to slander the audience and that Ali has already proven that he’s all talk. Ali reminded him that he got a victory last week over Leon Ruff and would gladly kick Shera’s ass all over the arena. Shera agreed to a match against Ali in tonight’s main event.

NORTH PRO CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT ROUND ROBIN #3
QT MARSHALL VS. SHAWN SPEARS
Spears looked to rebound here after his embarrassing loss last week against Jeff Cobb and seemed more evenly matched against Marshall. Although not the greatest match, both men showed why they have a place in this tournament and Spears managed to rock Marshall before hitting the C4 to get the victory and the all important 3 points in the tournament.
Winner of the match by pinfall: Shawn Spears (8:22)

Winner of the match by pinfall: Shawn Spears (8:22)
The video screen lit up with a video of three men in a dark room and it is soon clear that these three men are Eric Young, Axel Tischer and Killian Dain. Young stated that he knew he needed his friends because he knew this place was going to be insane. The promo continued with Young promising that he was going to become the first ever North Pro Champion and that the three of them will bring just a little bit of Sanity to North Pro Wrestling.
SAMURAY DEL SOL VS. FLIP GORDON
After losing in a tag team match last week, both men had something to prove with this match and prove it they did with both flying around the ring. “The Mercenary” quickly took control over the match after hitting a secret low-blow on Del Sol. Gordon proceeded to show no mercy over his opponent who he would finish off with the Star-Spangled Stunner.
Winner of the match by pinfall: Flip Gordon (11:49)
Gordon would proceed to get on the microphone where he would make it clear that he is on a mission and that mission is to show that the Board made a mistake when not including him in the championship tournament and that he is determined to go through every single member of the roster until he tastes gold.

NORTH PRO CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT ROUND ROBIN #4
ALEXANDER HAMMERSTONE VS. DIRTY DANGO
Dango’s last chance to secure some much-needed points in the tournament got off to a rocky start as Hammerstone used his power to throw Dango around the ring. Dango tried his hardest to fight his way back into the bout but was promptly planted with the Nightmare Pendulum by Hammerstone and getting pinned meaning that he will finish last in Group A.
Winner of the match by pinfall: Alexander Hammerstone (6:33)

Winner of the match by pinfall: Alexander Hammerstone (6:33)
The video screen once again lit up with a video package of sorts which hyped the coming debut of one of the hottest commodities in wrestling today and showed blurred highlights of said superstar. A voiceover made everyone aware that this man would no doubt dominate North Pro and be on top in no time.
Following the prior video package, Jeff Cobb appeared on the screen in an interview pit with Sean Mooney who announced himself as North Pro’s backstage interviewer which garnered a large pop from the crowd in Manitoba. Helms quizzed Cobb on his thoughts on the championship tournament and Cobb simply stated that he has yet to show Canada how dominant he can truly be but that will come in time.
MAHABALI SHERA VS. MUSTAFA ALI
Shera surprisingly came to the ring without reinforcements, making it clear that he wanted to do the honorable thing. Ali, on the other hand, came out of the gate with dirty tactics, poking Shera in the eye. The two fought back and forth with Shera using his size to his advantage, tossing Ali around the ring. Ali once again used dirty tactics when he hit Shera with a low-blow that went unnoticed by the referee. Ali attempted to get Shera to submit to the Koji Clutch but was unable to get it locked in. Shera fought away from Ali and managed to hit Sky High to get the victory.
Winner of the match by pinfall: Mahabali Shera (15:34)
As Shera celebrated his hard fought and first win in North Pro, Ali collected a steel chair from ringside which he very promptly used to clobber Shera in the back. The Bollywood Boyz attempted to make the save but Ali also laid them out with the same chair. The show closed out with Mustafa Ali standing tall over Shera and his boys.
