IWC’s Revengeance 2, October 29 in McKeesport Pa, was
meant to be headlined by a fantastic competitive IWC Title defense,
with our longest reigning and most respected champion to date SHIRLEY
DOE defending against top contender STERLING KEENAN. What we got
instead, was the IWC fans, locker room, and promotion as a whole
stabbed in the back by its very conscience & lifeblood. During the
championship bout, SEBASTIAN DARK & HENTAI made their way to
ringside, seemingly to help Sterling defeat their frequent rival Doe.
Speculation had run rampant for weeks that there was a third man
conspiring with Dark & HENTAI throughout the kidnapping of DEAN
RADFORD and beforehand. Just when we thought we’d found the final piece
to the puzzle, Dark & HENTAI shocked us all again, pummeling
Sterling with a chair, before handing the steel weapon off to Doe, who
finished the job in merciless fashion. The dazed referee was revived to
count the fall to ensure a successful title defense for Doe, but the
major story was Shirley Doe revealing his true character…Doe was the
third man in the Dark/HENTAI equation.
After a continued attack on Sterling that only ended when Doe, Dark, and HENTAI were run off by a slew of IWC wrestlers as well as THE SANDMAN, Doe took the microphone and verbally cemented what we had already seen. The hard-working respected champion/mentor of the locker room was all an elaborate façade.
“Do you want to know why I’ve been beating these guys up for the past 2 years? Because I’ve been their boss!” Those chilling words from Doe puts into perspective exactly how far back this plan stretches. In retrospect, the careers of all 3 men have seemingly revolved around each other in recent memory and we now know that it’s been no coincidence. Dark & HENTAI’s recent tag team rampage. Doe’s heartfelt words to HENTAI during his supposed retirement ceremony. Dark “blinding” HEN

with alcohol. Dark’s seemingly endless
wars with Doe. Dark’s initial IWC debut injuring Doe’s knee, and the
first man through the curtain to save Doe: HENTAI. Doe & HENTAI’s
blood-filled rivalry and Texas Death Match. Have the seeds been planted
since day 1? Back when the initial Doe/HENTAI rivalry
escalated, Doe had just returned from a lengthy suspension from IWC.Did Doe decide then and there to plot the destruction of IWC to teach them a lesson for reprimanding him? It’s frightening to think that all the violence, all the carnage, and all the disgust these
3 have
had
for each other over the years…was perhaps all premeditated and done
with a collective future goal in mind.The question now is can the IWC roster rebound from such a crippling blow?

Dean Radford & The Sandman. After Sandman’s traditional
booze-induced ring entrance, pro wrestling’s original beer-swilling,
foul-mouthed, anti-authority SOB marched into battle. Dark & HENTAI
had their work cut out for them but ensured they had momentum on their
side leading into the main event, pinning The Sandman with one of the
most tainted and illegal pinfalls ever. With both Dark & HENTAI on
top of Sandman, and a
handful of tights as well, Dark
& HENTAI add another well-respected star to the list of individuals
they’ve defeated.
SHANNON
MOORE came into
McKeesport looking to prove what
he can do shackle-free. Now as “The Prince of Punk” and embracing the
“2 B Me” philosophy, Moore was indeed his own man, but was opposed by
someone who’s been on an absolute roll in 2005, Super Indy champion
“Fabulous” JOHN McCHESNEY. Moore had an impressive showing, and even hi

McChesney with his signature move the Mooregasm, but not even that
could keep the champion down. McChesney displayed his unbelievable
resilience, fought back, and trapped Moore into a pinning predicament
following a huracanrana to retain his title.

of the reigning champions TRACY SMOTHERS, and his partner for the
night, the returning SPYDER NATE WEBB. It was another unforgettable
entrance by Webb, complete with a rendition of Billy Joel’s “The Piano
Man” and of course plenty of dancing from Webb & Smothers. Once the
bell rang however, “Nice Guy” Mickey and Marshall “The Bull” made sure
the match was all business. Already no-doubt agitated over not
receiving a tag title shot on this 
night,
The Gambinos effectively took their
anger out on their opposition, pinning Nate Webb following The Curse of
the Gambino. Following the match, Smothers blamed his partner for the
loss and guaranteed that next time he was in McKeesport “Everybody
dies!”

LORDS’ newfound

the back by J-ROCC this past summer. However, despite being battered,
bruised, and bloodied by the end of the match, somehow Xion found a way
to hit From Lust 2 Dust to get the win. Lords had solidified himself as
a potential major player in singles competition, showing he can hang

“DeeeLicious” JIMMY DEMARCO, cousin of the Gambinos. The much more
powerful, more experienced J-Rocc had the situation well in control
when he let his ego get the better of him. Rather than hit the One
Hitter Quitter to finish Demarco, he instead chose to slap him around
and toy with him. Finally after J-Rocc was ready to finish him off,
Demarco trapped him in a crucifix, rolling him over to score the upset
win. An irate J-Rocc attacked Demarco after the m

recognition of that belt is very highly in doubt. With that in mind,
imagine the surprise of Sweeney when Gory hit one of his many
innovative high-impact moves, Trepidation, to score the pin and win the
title! Gory celebrated the victory throughout the night, including at
our merchandise tables during intermission. It was at said tables where

that questionable altercation, an outstanding night for both men.
