IWTV “Class of ‘22” 

Wrestival Day 2 7pm

We have a solemn ten-bell salute for Jaysin Strife before we go on the air. 

It’s time for the IWTV supershow and there’s a LOT on the line tonight. We crown a new IWTV champion tonight in a gauntlet of former champions and current challengers. We have the quarter and semi finals of the T4 Summit to crown IWTV’s first tag team champions. Just added is a wild throwdown between the Northeast Beast Alec Price and the Duke John Wayne Murdoch. Larry Legend is our announcer! Let’s goooooo! 

Match 1: Violence is Forever (Kevin Ku & Dominic Garrini) vs MSP (Aiden Aggro & Danger Kid) (T4 Summit Quarterfinals)

This is a hell of an opener but I have my bets on the outcome here. Dom grapples Danger down past but it’s too close to the rope. He gets a kimura…again the ropes are too close. Dom gets careless and Aggro tags in. Ku tries to save it but he gets bulldogged onto his partner. Backpack senton onto VIF! The tide quickly turns with a double kick to Danger Kid. Ku stomping a mud hole. Apparently rope breaks are a ten count for these matches? TIL! Ku with a stiff kick to the spine. Danger with an up kick and tag out! Aggro handling VIf with a double dropkick for two! MSP wants the finish but Dom intercepts Danger. Waterfall of big shots and everyone’s down. Ku caught with a chokeslam backcracker! Dom saves it but he’s quickly exited from the ring. Ku escapes and Dom starts throwing big hits! lungblower! Aggro eats a chasing the dragon and Danger can’t make the save! 

Winners: Violence is Forever

Match 2: Culture Inc (Eli Knight & Malik Bosede w/ Nick J Holiday) vs C4 (Cody Chhun & Guillermo Rosas)

Eli and Cody kick it off. The crowd seem partisan for C4 but Knight is trying to show why they might be on the wrong side of history. Culture with a sunset flip into a bomb to the knees. Rosas hanging with Bosede and lands a wicked dropkick to get the advantage. C4 doing what they can to keep him isolated on their corner. Bosede feigns injury and hot shots Rosas. Guillermo is in the wrong damn corner. Rosas with a sunset flip escape and gets Cody in there. Body splashes for everyone. Culture taking it back. Cody almost eats a jackknife pin but Rosas makes the save. Running powerbomb to Eli! Eli cuts off Cody on the top, hard shots to the back! Cody crotched on the rope as Ref Gina is distracted. Rock bottom/flatliner combo to Cody and Culture Inc advances!

Winners: Culture Inc

Match 3: Miracle Generation (Dustin Waller & Kylon King) vs To Infinity and Beyond (Colin Delaney & Cheech) 

Cheech and Colin instantly start cheating to keep Dustin on the backpedal. Waller proving more than capable of staying ahead and gets Kylon in there for a huge cannonball/northern lights. Wheelbarrow splash to Colin! Kylon unloading on Cheech, he gets caught in an apron electric chair and Cheech back suplexes him out of it. Jeeeesus. Kylon getting double teamed, 2InB using the 10 count to its full advantage. Kylon getting brutalized until he can escape to Dustin. Waller going hard on Cheech, finlay roll! Kick out! Flash tries a 450 but he tweaks his leg. He gets caught in. An electric chair cutter! Kylon makes the save! Dustin fighting two on one but that knee is a liability. But he will NOT quit.

Match 4: Brandon Kirk(c) vs Bobby Orlando (for the American Deathmatch championship & Danny Havoc Hardcore Championship) 

Deathmatch Bobby?!?!? Kirk gets Bobby Junior and Orlando has to save his son and get him to the corner! Bobby slam! He tries a backflip but Kirk pops him up and kicks him down. He punts Bobby Junior! What a heel! Kirk tries ripping Bobby’s jaw off. Kirk throws Bobby across the ring as he tries for a bulldog. Bobby hitting some dusty punches! Flying cross body for two! Sunset flip bomb for two! Bobby reverses a ripcord to a backstabber! Kirk with a reversal to a falcon arrow facebuster for the win! This was a fun match and should have been just that…but putting the deathmatch and hardcore belts on the line set an expectation for this contest that wasn’t met.

Winner: Brandon Kirk

Match 5: Alec Price vs John Wayne Murdoch (No DQ)

The ring has plunder and NOW we’re getting the violence??? Lol. What. I’m not sad about this match but it makes the last one even sillier.

Match 6: Violence is Forever (Kevin Ku & Dominic Garrini) vs Brick City Boyz (Victor Chase & JCruz) (T4 Summit Semifinals)

Brick City is one of two teams repping Wrestling Open in the semis and they absolutely blindeside ViF. Ku eating double teams and his ring jacket isn’t even off. Brick City stomping all over Ku. Taking out the ribs. Dom wants to break this up but Cruz is good at baiting the ref to keeping him back. Ku gets the banana splits.

Match 7: Culture Inc (Eli Knight & Malik Bosede w/ Nick J Holiday) vs Miracle Generation (Dustin Waller & Kylon King)

Dustin’s knee is gonna be a factor. Culture thinks he will NEED a miracle to stay alive…and they go right for that leg. Kylon is helpless to assist and Dustin is taking a prolonged beatdown.

Main Event: IWTV Independent Wrestling Championship Gauntlet

Alex Shelley and Hot Sauce Tracy Williams start us off! let’s start careful…both of these guys have a long way to go if they’re gonna get their belt back. Trading in the graps, Sauce escapes a cravat, working to a kimura but we get to the rope. Sauce traps the leg in a modified death lock, will Shelley tap? At least half the crowd wants that. He armbars and slams Shelley into it. Alex traps the arms into a modified octopus! Sauce escapes, hard stomps to the ankles! Williams applying a lot of torque on the feet. Shelley tries to escape and winds up in a crossface. Alex is out but eating a ton of chips in the corner. Ref shiny shoes backs him off and Shelley swarms. Right into a motor city stretch! Sauce fights it off to a rear naked choke! Shelley with a surf board stretch! Sauce grabs a heel hook! Alex kicks free! Sauce unloading some vicious chops! Alex kicks the arm out. Sauce with a hard shot to the mid section but may have knocked himself silly in the process. Hard kicks to the death. Sauce with a big lariat! He tries a piledriver but his arm won’t hold it. Shelley trapped in a sleeper but Shelley tweaks the arm again. Sauce rolls him up….Bridging pin…Hot Sauce advances!!!

AC Mack is in next and swarms right on Williams. Flatliner before he gets the swat vest off. Hot sauce kicks out. Mack running his mouth and choking the former champ on the top rope. He kicks out the leg. “You shoulda stayed down!” Meteora in the corner! Dropkick to the back of the head! Sauce kicks out again. He blocks the Mack 10 and almost sneaks the pinfall. Crossface! Mack won’t quit! He nails the Mack 10 and Williams is done.

Next up is WARHORSE!!!!!! He’s in full slim Jim attire. He wants that sponsorship! Mack is weathering the storm of a very energetic warhorse. Huge lariats and back elbows. Mack slips a suplex but Warhorse can’t be hurt by a turnbuckle to the cranium. Mack resorts to just poking him in the eye. Mack runs for cover when it looks like a sharpshooter is coming. Hard chops around the ringside. Ten punches in the crowd! Round the world dropkick! Warhorse misses and apron dive…double throat chop and Warhorse gets posted. He gets run into our VERY dangerous stairs. Owwwww. Mack wants a faster count out but Warhorse makes it back. Mack stomping in the corner and whipping his opponent around. Mack tries a headbutt? Poor fool. Warhorse is banging heads. Spinebuster! Flip to the floor! Double stomp off the apron! Lariat!!!! Kick out! Mack with a spinaroonie but warhorse gets the sharpshooter on! Mack taps out!!!!!

Adam Priest is up next to tangle with the ruler of all a**. Mack comes from behind and low blows Warhorse. He hits a Mack 10. Mack and Priest share a hug as AC leaves. The Southeast is clearly aligned here. Priest stepping on Warhorse’s hands and plants him with a ddt for the quick finish. Who’s next?

Trish Adora steps up to the plate! This is a proper square off. Priest is ready to make Worcester sad. Adora is cautious as she wraps up the legs…Priest deadlifts her but Trish gets the ropes. Priest needs a little walkabout. This is slower than it should be. Trish getting wrapped up on the bottom rope. Priest says he can work any style and offers a hand, Trish with a headlock takeover! Priest has this slowed to a crawl and he works this Uber technical chess match. He tries to toss Trish over the top rope, guts her to the floor. Slide out and takes her over to the wood. Trish manages to throw him nuts first into the post! There’s some hope of shutting down the Southeast after all? Back body drop to the apron! Trish jacks up the arm of Lriest on the top rope! He has a target on that limb but he’s still throwing chops. Priest catches an up and over and kicks her blatantly between the legs. Yeow. There’s no DQ but Trish is clearly hurting. He takes a single leg crab, transition to a STF to a crossface…Trish makes the rope! Priest throwing kicks and trying to land that ddt…Trish with a northern lights! Kick out! Body slam and Priest heads up to the top…knee drop fails! Trish hits a German! Kick out! Trish avoids the ddt again, big boot! High angle German! Trish kicking out the arm! Senton! Kick out! Trish stomping a hole through his chest. She’s going for cattle mutilation…Priest springs free! Hard stomps! He’s slapping her like a taunting fool might. She jump ms and locks in a kimura! He falls forward and gets the pin while holding the rope with his free hand. How did shiny ShoES MISS THAT?!? 

Priest is weary and has Hoodfoot in his path now. This goes right into a brawl. Hoodfoot almost one punch KO’s him but Priest kicks out at the last second. Atomic drop! Brain buster! Priest gets a foot on the rope! Cactus clothesline! It’s a fight now! There’s fighting by the fire door, Priest coming back to life but the fight spills out the door. They get back in and Priest is a bloody mess. Priest rolls in and kicks Hoodfoot back…he gets a count out elimination?!?

Our last hope is the Bulldozer, Matt Tremont. Priest is running red right now as Tremont makes his entrance. He attacks right at the entryway and they spill into the back. Back into the chairs and a bloody Priest is unloading on a now bloody Tremont. This is a back and forth fist fight. Tremont lays out Oriest with a right and he cracks his head on a chair. Hard back body drop to the floor. Old any style is in deep waters and major trouble. Tremont drags him back into the ring to throw more hands. Heavy elbow…kick out! We’re headed up top…Tremont dropping headbutts but Priest knock him back. Leg drop! Kick out! We got more chairs setup, Priest slammed through them. Tremont picks him up and hits a massive sitout powerbomb for the win!

Winner (and new IWTV Independent Wrestling Champion): Matt Tremont
