A CALL TO ARMS 4 REMATCH - IF TEAM VEGA$ WINS, CJ SENSATION IS REHIRED
TEAM HENTAI vs. TEAM VEGA$

This match all comes down to respect. And two men who have a very different version of who they see as the most important wrestler in IWC history.

Jimmy Vega$ is a numerous-time holder of the IWC Heavyweight title, and in his major stint in this company wrestled noted competitors such as Jerry Lawler, The Sandman, CM Punk and Chris Candido. Vegas is also one of the largest men to compete in IWC, and well known for his tremendous strength. His teammates comprise a cast of characters who embody his lack of respect for others: the hardcore "Bastard Son of 1,000 Corpses" Sebastian Dark, Cleveland's Shane Taylor, "Snapshot" CJ Sensation and the debuting Kato.

Dark has no respect for IWC or anybody in it. Several times, he's been on a team wreaking havoc across the promotion: the War Machine and the Unholy Alliance. Taylor was brought into IWC as the latest protege of J-Rocc in the Cleveland Mafia, but that alliance was short-lived as he, along with Ray Rowe and Ricky Reyes, beat down J-Rocc & BabyFace Fire, attacked IWC promoter Norm Connors, and began anew in IWC. Kato is one of the most outspoken and controversial wrestlers in Pennsylvania. Usually based out of central PA, Kato is a wily -and unusual- veteran who knows every trick in the book, and will use it to his advantage. Meanwhile, Sensation is not even a current member of the IWC roster! He was fired in September by IWC founder Bubba the Bulldog for claiming to be 16-year-old teen sensation Miley Cyrus' boyfriend, a claim that is not only unfounded and disturbing, but also a little illegal. But he hasn't been able to let go of IWC. He constantly runs in from the crowd, having bought a ticket to get into the event, and attempts to disrupt the show. This is his chance to earn a spot on the roster again. If Team Vega$ wins, Sensation earns his job back in IWC!

On the opposing side, we have Super Hentai, known as the first IWC Super Indy champion and, while small in stature, perhaps the biggest name in this company's annals. Hentai brings with him Michael "The Bomber" Façade, rookie sensation Logan Shulo, high-flying Jason Gory and the returning Dean Radford, one of the most popular men in IWC history. Intriguingly, Hentai has trained or had a hand in training every man on his team. Façade and Logan have had an incredible series of matches lately, taking each other to their limits, with each man picking up a victory. Gory is a former 2-time IWC Tag Team Champion with current IWC World Heavyweight Champion Shiima Xion and is looking to make his name in singles action once again, while still supporting his championship partner. Radford is a name from IWC's past. A former IWC Heavyweight Champion, Radford will go down in IWC as one of the most popular wrestlers in the company's history. His unique style of power and agility made him stand above the pack, and there has been nobody like him in IWC since his departure to Arizona in spring of 2007.

At stake? Bragging rights. And the chance for CJ Sensation to return to IWC. The last meeting between teams captained by these men saw Vegas kick out a pin attempt of 9 other men, only to schoolboyed by Hentai. What will this encounter contain?

IWC TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
SEXUAL HARASSMENT vs. IRISH AIRBORNE
The Irish Airborne have arrived in IWC. Although so far unsuccessful in the win/loss category, the Crist brothers have infuriated IWC fans like nobody else before them, and they were instrumental in an IWC Tag Team Title change.

Their debut in November saw the Crists get under the skin of the IWC crowd. But they seemed to be more focused on the fans than the match, because they were able to be defeated by then-former IWC Tag Team Champions Sexual Harassment. The next month at December's A Call To Arms 5, Airborne were inserted into the IWC Tag Team Title match between champions The Gambino Brothers and Harassment. In the match, Airborne were pinned once again by Harassment, once again seemingly distracted by the IWC fans instead of focusing on the match.

Apparently upset that they were defeated twice by Eric Xtasy & Justin Idol, they attacked Harassment during the main event three-way dance for the IWC Tag Team Titles against the Gambinos. If it weren't for the interference of the Gambino cousin Jimmy DeMarco, Harassment would have lost the match. But thanks to a C4 by Jimmy D, Harassment are now 2-time IWC Tag Team Champions!

They have requested a rematch against Dave & Jake Crist, and IWC promoter Norm Connors has granted it for January 24th!
Will history repeat itself? Or will the third time be the charm for Irish Airborne?

Also at A New Beginning WOOOOOO....

3. I want to meet Ric Flair, how do I do that?
As a follow up to question 2, here are the ways to meet Ric Flair in person:
     a. VIP tickets- either Ringside or GA.  Each VIP ticket purchased gives you the opportunity for ONE photo opportunity with Ric Flair and ONE autographed item.  The pictures from the PHOTO OPPORTUNITY will be taken with our digital camera, and then printed out and given to you. As you use your VIP ticket, it will be stamped and no longer valid for additional items.
     b. A regular RINGSIDE or GENERAL ADMISSION ticket can be purchased, but if you would like to meet Ric Flair, you must buy either an PHOTO OPPORTUNITY TICKET or AUTOGRAPHED ITEM ticket.  These tickets are available at $30 each, or 3 for $50, and can not be combined. You must have either a RINGSIDE or GENERAL ADMISSION ticket to buy a PHOTO OPPORTUNITY TICKET or AUTOGRAPHED ITEM ticket.
     **Please note: Ric Flair will be appearing during the wrestling event itself, but if you would like to meet him, VIP or PHOTO OPPORTUNITY OR AUTOGRAPHED ITEM ticket would be the only way to meet him.

4. I don't have a picture of Ric, but would like one to have signed.  What should I do?
Highspots.com will not only have the exclusive 4 dvd Ric Flair Shoot, but will also have Full Color Pictures to sell for you to purchase to have Ric Flair sign.  This will count as your one autographed item should you choose this option.

5. Can I bring children to the event?
IWC is a family friendly product, so children are welcome.  Usually, we would have a special children's ticket price, but due to the appearance of Ric Flair, no children's discount will apply to this show.

6. Okay, I have tickets, how do I receive them?
All tickets for this event must be picked up at the door the day of the event.
     -When you make your purchase either through the IWCwrestling.com or the highspots.com website, you should print out your PAYPAL receipt.  You will need this receipt to pick up your tickets at the door.  Sometime around January 19th, you will receive a CALL NUMBER from IWC promoter Norm Connors via email.  When you arrive at the building, present your PAYPAL receipt along with your CALL NUMBER to expedite your ticket pick up.
     ***Please note- those of you who purchased your tickets through Highspots.com using a Credit Card will need to present a PHOTO I.D. at the ticket window

7. What time should I arrive at the building Saturday, January 24th?
We ask that no one arrive at the building prior to 4:30 p.m.  At that point, you can begin to pick up your tickets.  The doors for the special VIP event will open at 5:40 p.m. The doors for the regular event open at 7:15 p.m.

8. How will parking be handled that day?
There will be plenty of parking available at Court Time Sports Center that day.  If you can carpool, however, it is recommended and appreciated.  Once the parking lot is full, parking will be available on Enterprise Dr. on the way up to the facility.  Attendants will direct you on where to park, as some of the local businesses have allowed us to use their parking lot as well.  If tickets continue to sell at the current brisk pace, we will open Additional Parking at the Central Fire Hall, which is located just up the street on Rte 48 from Enterprise Dr.  You will be directed their by attendants.  A shuttle will then be made available from the Central Fire Hall to Court Time Sports Center.

9. How long is the wrestling event?
The wrestling event should start around 8:00 p.m., and will be completed around 10:30 p.m.  We ask for patience if the Ric Flair signing has not finished, as the show may have to be delayed accordingly. Ric Flair will appear for an in ring promo as part of the wrestling event.  HE WILL NOT BE WRESTLING.

10. What else can I expect from this event?
     a. HAVE FUN- if this is your first time, this is a unique experience for ALL
     b. You will have the chance to meet all of the wrestlers at the event.  This is what makes us different from the other companies.  You actually get the one on one experience that other companies simply don't provide.
     c. Merchandise will be available from both IWC Wrestling and HIGHSPOTS.com.  The Special RIC FLAIR SHOOT DVD will be available that day from HIGHSPOTS.com.

11. I've never heard of IWC- who are you guys?
