IWC presents A NEW BEGINNINGFriday January 20th, 2006
Court Time Sports Center
95 Enterprise Dr.
Elizabeth PA 15037
BELLTIME: 8:00 PM
After several venue changes in the last 12 months, IWC has actively sought out a regular venue to hold all it's events in 2006. Now, we are pleased to announce the search is over! IWC has signed a deal with the Court Time Sports Center in beautiful Elizabeth, PA. Located just minutes from Rt. 51, IWC will be holding monthly events at the Sports Center startng with A New Beginning on January 20th.
In the weeks leading to this event, IWC Promoter Norm Connors announced his plan to eliminate the Anti-IWC alliance of Shirley Doe, Sebastian Dark, and HENTAI. The plan is comprised of three parts:
SHIRLEY DOE is officially the longest IWC Champion in this company's history, holding the belt for over a year straight. During his two title reigns, he defeated such worthy opponents as Chris Hero, Eddie Kingston, Balls Mahoney, The Sandman, Tracy Smothers, Shiima Xion, Troy Lords, Sterling Keenan, and Steve Corino. Connors has decided that there is one man who hasn't faced Doe for that title. One man who has never been in the ring one-on-one with Shirley Doe. One of two men to hold the IWC Super Indy Title twice. The man who pinned Matt Hardy. The former 2-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion. The former 5-time TNA X-Division Champion. "The Phenomenal" AJ STYLES. Styles has never challenged for the IWC World Heavyweight Championship. This is his first oppertunity, because Norm Connors believes this is the only way to get the IWC Title off of Shirley Doe.
Connors' hired hitman, the monster ABYSS will take on "The Bastard Son of 1,000 Corpses" SEBASTIAN DARK! Dark is no slouch when it comes to brawling, as his now-infamous series with Shirley Doe proved how brutal he can be. But, does Dark have what it takes to defeat the 6'10", 350 pound Weapon of Mass Destruction?
HENTAI will take on the former two-time IWC Heavyweight Champion DENNIS GREGORY on January 20th at the Court Time Sports Center. At International Incident, Gregory swore to the IWC fans that, just like he fought for our country in Iraq, he'd fight for IWC against the Unholy Alliance. The former Super Indy and Tag Team Champion HENTAI will have his hands full as the entire IWC roster has had it out for him ever since he turned his back on the company and the locker room.
Also set for this huge debut card at the Court Time Sports Center, IWC's 2005 Wrestler of the Year "Fabulous" JOHN McCHESNEY defends his IWC Super Indy Title for the first time in 2006 against a man who has been on a roll as of late since setting out on a singles career... "Balls Hot" TROY LORDS! Lords has not only defeated his former tag partner J-Rocc, but also holds victories over Shiima Xion and Mineo Fujita as well! IWC officials have decided that due to his win streak, he'd be granted a shot at the IWC Super Indy Title!
The ICW/ICWA Tex-Arkana Television Champion "Sweet N Sour" LARRY SWEENEY defends his title against the recent thorn in his side, "The New Face" JASON GORY. The last time they competed in the Pittsburgh area at Revengeance 2, Gory pinned Sweeney to win the title, only to be caught by surprise during intermission and pinned by Sweeney, due to "24/7" rules. Then, as IWC traveled outside of Pittsburgh, Sweeney pinned Gory at Newville Knockout but got rolled up by Maverick afterwards and pinned for the title. Gory pinned "The Prophet of Profit" with a brutal QAS on the floor, only to be nailed with the title by Sweeney and pinned yet again. At Winter Bash 2005, Sweeney once again pinned Gory. Now, Gory wants one more shot. IWC officials have granted the 2004 Newcomer of the Year his title match in Elizabeth!
The very first Super Indy V Qualifier is set for A New Beginning! The first Filipino supermodel of professional wrestling, "The Virgin Slayer" SHIIMA XION, takes on one of the most popular stars in IWC, "Wonderman" GLENN SPECTRE! Xion and his manager/business associate/personal photographer "The Prophet of Profit" Chris Maverick were shocked and dismayed that Xion had to earn his spot in the annual tournament, claiming that after Xion's gutsy performance at Super Indy IV against "The Notorious 187" Homicide, he shouldn't have to earn his spot in the tournament. But, with all the talent itching to compete in this year's tournament, including Shannon Moore, Ricky Reyes, and Matt Sydal, Norm Connors scheduled several qualifying matches over the course of the next 3 events.
Also, Connors has come out and stated that he feels STERLING JAMES KEENAN is on shaky ground with IWC, and he has planned to test SJK's allegiance to the company. This week, he announced that Keenan will team with longtime rival DEAN RADFORD to challenge the IWC Tag Team Champions THE GAMBINO BROTHERS MOVING COMPANY . Norm feels that SJK loves winning titles because it improves his worldwide image. If he really wants to win the IWC titles, he'll have to cooperate with Radford and that will prove he's IWC through and through. SJK feels he doesn't need Radford, and Radford still doesn't trust Keenan at all. What would be the toughest title defense for the champions to date has turned into a question of whether their opponents will get along!
Plus, there are two special challenge matches stemming from events on the Revengeance 2 live event back in October. Fresh off his TNA debut, JON BOLEN will take on "The Big Daddy of Destruction" J-ROCC , while "Hot Property" JASON CAGE will try to extract revenge from BUBBA THE BULLDOG! At Revengeance 2, Cage was close to victory against Bubba when the 10-year ring veteran pulled out a sock full of quarters and cold-cocked Cage, drawing the referee's disqualification. Bubba continued to beat Cage down until Bolen ran out and made the save. J-Rocc ran out and aligned himself with Bubba, and joined in on a vicious attack against the two newcomers. Bolen was set for his match against Bubba & J-Rocc at Showdown in Utown 4, with his tag partner King Kong Bundy, but Bubba & J-Rocc were nowhere to be found. Now, Bolen and Cage get to finally take out their months of frustration on the "Big Daddy of Destruction" and the founder of IWC!
Plus, all the fun & surprises you've come to expect from IWC!
