With just four weeks before what will surely be a historic and emotional end to
promoter Norm Connors’ 16-year professional wrestling career, and the official
announcement of the new owner of IWC that will carry us all into 2010 and
beyond, the International Wrestling Cartel returned to the Court Time Sports
Center in Elizabeth, Pa as tensions hit a new peak at the fifth annual November
Pain spectacular.
International superstar and IWC Champion Shiima Xion is on a collision course
with former best friend and current bitter rival “DeeeLicious” Jimmy DeMarco,
stemming from Shiima’s growing jealousy over DeMarco overtaking him as IWC’s
most popular attraction. Shiima’s insecurities have led to the destruction of a
friendship, the formation of a bounty, and a countdown to arguably the most
anticipated title match in IWC history when Xion defends against DeMarco in
Elizabeth on December 12. However, Shiima had one final test before Dr.
DeeeLicious, that in the form of 5-time former champion Dennis Gregory, weeks
away from a life-changing event of his own, as he returns to Iraq to serve our
great country in battle. That didn’t stop Gregory from waging war with Shiima,
in an effort to bring the title with him overseas, much as Shiima had done in
the past under very different circumstances. The champion dug deep into his bag
of tricks to protect the title, blinding Gregory with hairspray to earn a cheap
disqualification loss, and retaining his title. A post-match assault by Shiima
and his “Chosen Ones” of Ray Rowe, Shane Taylor, and IWC Tag Champions Irish
Airborne was thwarted by DeMarco and, of all people, “Fabulous” John McChesney.
However, McChesney showed no respect or remorse for his former leader, slapping
Gregory in the face. McChesney and Gregory finally settle their rivalry 18
months in the making on December 12 in one of the most dangerous matches in
existence - a Texas Death Match!
As for DeMarco, he had one step before he reached December 12 as well, as “The
Whole Shebang” tried to collect Shiima’s bounty by eliminating Pittsburgh’s
Perpetual Pervert himself. Gargano shined on the mat, but DeMarco’s well-rounded
and unorthodox nature was enough to survive the former Super Indy champion,
knocking Gargano loopy with a mid-air C4 to gain the victory and momentum
leading into “A Call to Arms” weekend. DeMarco immediately made motion to his
waist to signify he wants to IWC Title, and based on his actions on this night,
DeMarco showed how seriously he is taking this battle, and the personal and
professional ramifications surrounding it. DeMarco & Shiima both started in IWC,
have called IWC their home for their entire careers, and are best friends turned
hated enemies. Never has an IWC title match taken place on such a huge stage
featuring two men who are bona fide IWC originals, and everything that IWC has
come to stand for. Will Shiima Xion achieve personal peace of mind by
eliminating the man who has never been kept down and proving that he truly is
the best wrestler in IWC today? Or can Jimmy DeMarco finally stand up and get
the respect and attention he deserves, and become perhaps IWC’s most unlikely
champion ever? One of these men will be the face of a company leading into 2010,
and the only way to find out who is to be there live on December 12.
Super Indy champion Super Hentai and recognized top contender, Justin Idol of
Sexual Harassment, stole the show in the eyes of many in a classic and physical
rematch of their Super Indy 8 final round encounter. With both men completely
fresh and having weeks to prepare for one another, a stark contrast from their
prior meeting, both pulled out all stops to emerge on top. It was Super Hentai
who survived this war of attrition, and showed why exactly he is synonymous with
that championship and the true Super Indy Innovator. It’s very fitting that the
Norm Connors era of IWC has an opportunity to end with the Super Indy
Championship being around the waist of the man who embodies that division more
so than anyone. But it’s far from a sure thing…
Michael “The Bomber” Façade bested Jason Gory in a battle to determine the top
Super Indy Title contender for “A Call to Arms” weekend. With Super Hentai
watching on guest commentary, both of these two athletes whom Hentai had a major
hand in the training and development of pulled out all stops to prove themselves
worthy of championship opportunity. Façade came up big with the Arashikage
Driver, earning him the chance to step into Super Indy immortality against the
man that made it famous. Can The Bomber tag his first IWC singles title? As for
Gory, he was met by former partner Shiima Xion who had some very harsh words for
his former Babyface Fire tag partner. Shiima gave Jason Gory a lot to think
about and contemplate. How will Jason Gory respond?
Tag team champions Dave & Jake Crist partnered with Family-turncoat Viki Gambino
to oppose 5-time IWC Tag Champions Mickey & Marshall Gambino and their mystery
partner for this inter-gender tag match, and everyone underestimated how apropos
the word “inter-gender” would be in this situation. The brothers Gambino were
joined by… “Erica Xtasy”, who coincidentally was the same height, weight, and as
we eventually found out hairstyle, as her “brother” Eric. The psychological
games led to “Erica” scoring the win for its team, but the celebration was only
momentary. While The Gambinos and Sexual Harassment no doubt have mutual disdain
for the way the Crists have acquired and retained their titles, when it comes to
which team is more deserving of unseating Irish Airborne, all bets are off.
However, it is Mickey & Marshall who have been given the opportunity, and the
stakes will be raised December 12, as the losing team must leave IWC! Can The
Gambino Family add to their storied tag team legacy and avenge the betrayal of
their sister Viki? Or can Irish Airborne keep the luck of the Irish in tact?
The ever-intense and frighteningly powerful Jon Bolen scored a victory over the
very game young veteran Kato but using the “Meltdown”, but following the bout
was ambushed by Ray Rowe‘s hired gun “Notorious“ Shane Taylor. An enraged Bolen
had to be forcibly restrained from charging after the 375 pounder, however,
“Fabulous” John McChesney was more than happy to step up to the plate and do
battle in Bolen’s place. McChesney defeated Taylor, gaining a measure of revenge
for the actions of Shiima Xion and his chosen ones toward McChesney over the
past several months. Meanwhile, Ray Rowe had his work cut out for him as well.
With the impending threat of Jon Bolen no doubt on his mind, Rowe was defeated
by former multiple time TNA World Tag Team Champion “Super Mex” Hernandez. It
was a night of mixed emotions of both of IWC’s two most intimidating stars. Now,
on November 12, IWC’s too baddest dudes mix it up as Jon Bolen goes one-on-one
with the “Suplex Machine” Ray Rowe!
Jimmy Vega$ is IWC’s first ever two-time heavyweight champion and over the past
few years has made a number of appearances in IWC, more so recognized as part of
IWC’s past. However, based on recent events, it seems like this young veteran is
hell-bent on a comeback and to be recognized just as much for being a part of
IWC’s present and future as well. Vega$ made an emphatic return to IWC singles
competition with a victory over the young and impressive Logan Shulo with the
patented Cha-Ching Slam. Can Jimmy Vega$ re-emerge as an IWC championship
player? And what will happen when Jimmy Vega$ and The Sandman meet for the first
time in years next month at “A Call to Arms” weekend?
All this and so much more leads us into December 11 & 12, “A Call to Arms”
weekend, inarguably one of the biggest extravaganzas of IWC history and with so
many unanswered questions. What impact will TNA World Heavyweight Champion “The
Phenomenal” AJ Styles make? What havoc will the Blue World Order unleash onto
the weekend? What will “The Franchise” Shane Douglas say? Who else from IWC’s
past may be in attendance? What will Norm Connors say in his final ever
appearance inside a wrestling ring, and who will he say it to? What will Shiima
Xion and Jimmy DeMarco do to become the absolute best in this region? And most
importantly… who in the world is the new owner of IWC? All of these questions
will be answered December 11 & 12. It’s a can’t miss event, it’s a weekend-long
celebration, it’s the end of an era, it’s A Call To Arms! |
