Over the next month, amongst everything else that is going on in IWC, there are two items in specific that will be brought up more than most.

Low Ki, and the Super Indy tournament.

When you think of these two items together, you instantly have to think of CJ Sensation.

At the first Super Indy tournament on March 22, 2002, Low Ki and CJ Sensation faced off in one of the most legendary matches in IWC history.

CJ Sensation had been in the business for several years before that point, and had been involved with a number of big names beforehand- Jim Cornette, Samu, former NWA World Champion Mike Rapada, Shane "Hurricane" Helms, and so on. However, the match against Ki would undoubtedly be his biggest test.

CJ's original opponent in the tournament was to be Devil Bhudakahn. I was actually with CJ when he was told that his match had changed. Jake Garrett was the one to inform him of the change, and that he instead would be facing Ki.

When asked his memory of that precise moment, CJ had this to say, "I think that would have been a great match as well because of our past history. Devil is a very talented worker and I am glad to have been able to get the chance to wrestle him, but I am also very glad that promoter Norm Connors had enough faith in me to put me up against Low Ki."

A lot of people kind of ribbed CJ about this match, but everyone knew how big of an opportunity this was for him.

However, CJ knew that he was facing an uphill battle.

"My memories from finding out that I was working Low Ki would have to be first and foremost that this guy is going to kick my face off from which everybody knows he did."

Oh, yes. Everyone that saw that match definitely remembers the kick that bloodied up CJ's mouth, and knocked him loopy.

"After the one kick in the face through the ropes, I don't remember much from that point forward."

I was fortunate enough to ride with CJ to the show. Picture this- CJ, Dean Radford, indy ref Harold Potter, and myself going to Super Indy 1 with the new N'Sync CD blaring in the car. Sad, but true. When we pulled up to the light on Rt 48 in Monroeville, CJ reached over and shut off the CD. The rest of us all exchanged looks, not sure what was happening. All I know is that for the last several minutes of the ride, everyone sat in utter silence. After arriving at the building, we got out of the car, CJ grabbed his bag, and walked ahead of the rest of us without saying a word.

"As we got closer to the building I remember thinking that this could be the biggest night of my career, so I just wanted that silence to prepare myself mentally for what was about to take place in what I feel may have been one of my best matches."

There was a definite buzz in the building when the announcements began for the Ki-Sensation match. What followed was an incredible and memorable contest. Ki would go on to win the match, but fall in the semifinals to Christopher Daniels.

"I feel that I hung in there with him and did the best that I could on that night and even though I fell short I don't think many people would disagree that I gave every ounce of my heart and soul for that match and for the great fans of Pittsburgh Indy Wrestling, because without them, we would be nothing."

Low Ki is one of the biggest names in independent wrestling. Super Indy is one of the most prestigious tournaments in the business. Super Indy is also the biggest show of the year in Pittsburgh indy wrestling. Seeing how serious CJ took this one match shows just how big this tournament truly is.

Since then CJ Sensation unfortunately went on to suffer a broken neck on July 4th, 2003. He continues to referee in IWC to this day, and actually made his IWC officiating debut at Super Indy 3. Last year, he came face-to-face with Ki in the opening round, and the finals as well. I will never forget the stare-down the two had following Ki's defeat at the hands of "Fabulous" John McChesney.

In only a matter of days, Ki and McChesney meet for the Super Indy championship once again. In one month, the Super Indy tournament will have its fifth winner.

And CJ will be right in the middle of it all. He'll be officiating at both events, but will he ever suit up for in-ring action again? Well, first things first.

"I would just like to thank everyone that has been involved in my career and put up with me when I thought I was better than what I was. Even though I may have broken my neck, the saying goes, NEVER SAY NEVER!"
