INTERNATIONAL WRESTLING CARTEL


February 23rd, 2006
While sitting in the balcony of the Court Time Sports Center watching the main event of "Accept No Limitations 2", as a member of the IWC locker room, I had to stand and applaud. "Mark-out", if you will. See, I couldn't have been more proud of Dennis Gregory, Jon Bolen, and Dean Radford. Those three men combined to gain some revenge on the Unholy Alliance. Sure, Shirley Doe may still be the reigning IWC world champion, but that WILL change on March 18th at the "Road To Super Indy V", when Sterling James Keenan WILL win the title.

I've heard talk that Gregory will be next in line for a shot at the strap. Maybe at Super Indy we'll see Dennis Gregory challenge SJK for the belt. Keep in mind, Keenan won the IWC title from Gregory on November 11th, 2003. This time, the roles just may be reversed. However, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

After a big win over Ray Rowe Saturday night, Sterling is on a roll as he goes to "TRTSI5". Is it his time? I'd like to think so.

On a personal note, when I asked Sterling why he hadn't returned any of my calls or emails, he told me he has been busy. I can understand and respect that. Regardless, all of our hope is riding on SJK on March 18th. It is time for Doe's reign to end.

I had predicted that Larry Sweeney would walk away with the Super Indy title. Looking back, I truly believe that if it weren't for Jason Gory, Sweeney still would have. I have to give Gory credit, though. No one ever suspects anything from the referees. Gory was wise enough to take advantage of Sweeney at an opportune time in order to win the ICW/ICWA Texarkana Television title. Regardless, McChesney proved his talent by pulling off an impressive win. Now, it's smooth sailing for Fab to remain SI champ for a year. Well, except for that Low-Ki thing.

Speaking of Gory, how great was his match with "Double C" Claudio Castagnoli? Both men have improved so much, and this match highlighted just how true that statement is. It is unfortunate, however, that after an incredible performance, Gory's trickery earlier in the evening came back to bite him when he was attacked by Sweeney afterwards. Regardless, a piledriver ON THE FLOOR is a little excessive, don't you think?

It was an honor to be able to witness Milano Collection AT against KUDO in person. Granted, it would have been great to see Delirious thrown into the mix, but things happen, and I highly doubt that anyone was let down by the match these two international superstars provided.

The Gambino's streak continued with a huge win over the "Superfriends", Shark Boy and "Wonderman" Glenn Spectre. There is something to be said for not only being a regular team, but also a tag team of brothers.

My personal pick for match of the show is one that I was highly looking forward to, the clash between Shiima Xion and Troy Lords. I have gone on record of saying that Troy Lords will be the 2005 Super Indy tournament winner. If Shiima can hold "Balls Hot's" shoulders to the mat for three seconds again on the 18th, that dream will be over.

I do have to admit, I was highly entertained by Shiima and Maverick's entrance.

The situation between J-Rocc-Ray Rowe and Dirk Ciglar-Jason Cage is far from over. Mark my words.

Last, but not least, what happened to Jesse Titan Mark?? I understand doing what you have to in order to get noticed, but snapping at the promoter in the middle of the ring is not the best way to go about things.

That is all. I'll see you all next Thursday!
