IWF Winter Warfare Weekend Events January 20-21 at West Paterson, NJ
Torres, Steeler, Rivera, Durnin & Camacho to Defend Their Titles


(WEST PATERSON, NJ)- A historic milestone is upon us as the Independent Wrestling Federation begins its 10th year of producing live events. In a few short days, the IWF rings in the new year with Winter Warfare Weekend on Saturday, January 20, 7:30 pm and Sunday, January 21, 4:00 pm at IWF Centre, 32 Willow Way, West Paterson, NJ.  Here's a preview:

Day one January 20 is highlighted by a double main event as Commissioner Rich Ross hosts a $5,000 Bounty Battle Royal featuring The Masked BoneCrusher and all the IWF stars. After Ross was controversially re-elected to office in November, he unceremoniously banned his nemesis Fred Sampson for life. Sampson's protege from IWF Wrestling School, Masked BoneCrusher, arrived on the scene shortly thereafter. Ross has been hell-bent on revealing the identity of the mysterious man. In this every man for himself brawl, if Masked BoneCrusher loses or is unmasked, he is also banned for life. However, if he wins, Sampson can return to IWF action.

The second main event is an IWF Heavyweight Title Match as former American Champion Justin Corino challenges IWF Heavyweight Champion Tony Torres of Latin Revolution with Eloy Fiesta. Corino, who battled Torres to a double count-out in the semifinals of December's Tournament of Champions, gets his rematch for the top prize in the IWF. Can Justin capture the gold on behalf of the United States, or will Torres keep the gold within the grasp of Latin Revolution?

In a rematch from December's Tournament of Champions Final, Kevin Knight tangles with the 2006 Tournament Champion Travis Blake with Rich Ross. The bad blood between these rivals has escalated even further after Blake assisted fellow Ross Family associate Franciz in seriously injuring former IWF Champion Shawn Donavan on the Eruption Webcast.

The IWF Tag Team Titles are on the line as champions Burnin' Mike Durnin and Steve Camacho with Jana, defend against Outlaw Shane O'Brien and Aaron Stride with Rich Ross. After Stride suffered an embarrassing loss to Jana on the Eruption Webcast, Ross raised the stakes to the maximum to ensure his men secured a rematch for the gold. If Durnin and Camacho win, SOB and Stride get their heads shaved. If SOB and Stride win, they win titles and Jana becomes their personal valet for 60 days.

In a rematch for the IWF American Title, champion Chris Steeler meets the 340-pound mastodon Franciz. Franciz, in unlawful possession of the title belt that he stole in November, issued a challenge to Steeler on the Eruption Webcast. Steeler, back in action after being injured by Franciz, accepted the invitation from the mastodon as he looks to regain possession of the belt that is rightfully his. There is also $5,000 at stake in the Franciz BodySlam Challenge offered to anyone who can lift the unstoppable force off his feet.

The IWF Junior Heavyweight Title is up for grabs as former three-time Junior Champion Dangerous Dan McGuire looks to regain the title for a record fourth time from current champion Antonio Rivera of Latin Revolution with Eloy Fiesta. Rivera, who won the belt last month in the first round of the Tournament of Champions, looks to extend his reign.

In a tag team encounter January 20, the rookie duo of Rey Calitri and Daniel Schwartz has accepted the challenge from Tommy Trouble and Frank Scoleri.

Day two Sunday, January 21 features tag team warfare as Justin Corino and Dan McGuire unite to battle Tony Torres and Antonio Rivera of Latin Revolution with Eloy Fiesta.  Based on the outcome of their singles title matches from the previous evening, Corino and McGuire could enter this contest as the Heavyweight and Junior Champions respectively.

In a return grudge match from November's Thanksgiving Thunder, Kevin Knight collides with Franciz of The Ross Family.  The corrupt commish has announced he will appoint a special guest referee to maintain order in this heated rematch.  Franciz could very well be the American Champion should he claim the title the previous evening.

Chris Steeler tangles with rival Travis Blake with Rich Ross.  It was at Thanksgiving Thunder when Steeler won the American Title from Blake, and now Travis is out for revenge.  If Chris retains the gold on Saturday, the belt will be up for grabs in this bout

In tag team action, Mike Durnin and Steve Camacho with Jana face Tommy Trouble and Frank Scoleri; while the rookie duo of Rey Calitri and Dan Marques look to make their mark against Shane O'Brien and Aaron Stride with Rich Ross.  Based on the outcome of the Tag Team Title Match from the previous evening, which of these bouts will be for the titles?

Rich Ross, already banking on the fact that The Masked BoneCrusher will lose the $5,000 Bounty Battle Royal and be unmasked the previous evening, has already planned a Farewell Ceremony.

Also appearing January 21 are debuting IWF Wrestling School students Nick Gregory and Jason Roberts.  Much more to be announced, so check back soon for updates.
