Warfare 31/05/06

The news that the whole world has been waiting for finally was confirmed tonight. Matthew Mercy said he was too busy in "Hollywood" doing promotion for his latest film role, but he did send a pre-taped video package where he gave the world his answer to Dean Roberts' challenge...and that answer was no! Towards the end of the show, Dean Roberts walked out to the ring and adressed the situation with the crowd, telling them that he had thought that Matthew Mercy was made of sterner stuff that that, and that he reiterated his challenge one last time. He said he would be waiting on Impact...but he didn't have to wait that long. From out of nowhere, Matthew Mercy snuck through the crowd and blindsided Dean, battering him again. As the show went off the air, Mercy stood over the bloodied Dean and said the words everyone had been waiting for..."I accept the challenge".

In the main event of the evening, Randy Orton and Peter Turner got a victory over Shawn Michaels & Jay Reso when Turner shockingly got the pin on Michaels after smashing him with the ring bell.

In other matches, Matt Morgan & Triple H advanced to a Heat Wave title shot against Chris Kanyon & Kurt Angle by defeating Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho when HHH pinned Benoit. After the match, as the losers regathered their composure they were attacked by William Regal and Finlay and did an almighty number on them.

Shelton Benjamin pinned Charles Haas in a hard-fought match-up, but he had to hold onto the ropes for the leverage to gain the three count. Barabus Lashley eased his way to a win over Rhino and Abyss pinned Phil Jackson.

In other news, new IWF Diva Krissy Vaine made quite an impression on the Big Gee, but Gee's lady friend Torrie Wilson was far from impressed and told Vaine in no uncertain terms that she should keep her hands off "her man". Colt Cabana of the Second City Saints was interviewed backstage by Sam Wyness, but he seemed unsure as to whether the team had a future or not considering CM Punk's recent singles success.

MATCH RESULTS:
Abyss pinned Phil Jackson
Matt Morgan & Triple H defeated Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho
Shelton Benjamin pinned Charles Haas
Barabus Lashley pinned Rhino
Randy Orton & Peter Turner defeated Jay Reso & Shawn Michaels

Action 28/05/06

The Road to Heat Wave continued on this week's action as some of the hottest up and coming stars in the business were showcased.

In the main event, United Kingdom Tag Team Champions MNM defeated the crazy Bang Gang when Johnny Nitro pinned Loco Delgado.

The manaical Oleg Prudius (accompanied by Nikita Koloff) destroyed Burchill in a brutal match. Afterwards it seemed as if Burchill was suffering from a concussion.

In other action there were wins for Lance Storm (over Jeff Jarrett) and Mark Jindrak (over Chuck Palumbo).

MATCH RESULTS:
Oleg Prudius defeated Burchill
Lance Storm pinned Jeff Jarrett
Mark Jindrak pinned Chuck Palumbo
MNM defeated The Bang Gang

Impact 26/05/06

Dean Roberts returned to the IWF for the first time since SSS and confronted Matthew Mercy with a challenge, a challenge which could put both men's careers on the line at Heat Wave...if Mercy accepts!

As the show was coming to a close, Dean Roberts made his way to the ring, having discharged himself from hospital and he begged Matthew Mercy to face him in the ring "like a man!" Mercy came put but said he had nothing to prove against a "broken down, worn out loser" but Dean replied that he had one thing in mind that he was sure would tempt Mercy into the ring one more time...a "Loser Must Retire" match between the two at Heat Wave. The crowd went nuts, but Mercy, after pondering the suggestion, merely turned around and left. What will happen between these two...will Mercy accept the challenge?

In the main event of the evening, Shawn Michaels was given the opportunity to take on the World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton in a non-title match and thanks to some distraction by guest colour commentator Jay Reso it looked like Shawn may get the win, but he didn't count on the returning Peter Turner, who shocked the world by running in and costing Michaels the match. Turner then stated he wanted Micheals one-one-one at Heat Wave.

Eric Bischoff also annoucned a four team tournament to declare the number one contenders to the tag team titles...but there was a twist. Bischoff said he was naming eight men, who would be drawn at random to make teams. The draw was done and the opening matches were held. The team of Matt Morgan & Triple H defeated Kane & Rob Van Dam, when HHH pinned Kane, in one match, whilst in the other, Chris Jericho & Chris Benoit defeated Abyss and Phil Jackson when Jericho made PJ submit to the Lion-Tamer.

James Gibson defeated Eric Young after the interference of Cruiserweight Champion Rick Shaw in an exciting match. Afterwards Young was livid, but Shaw was laughing away. In the other match of the evening, European Champion Paul Wardle defeated Finlay by Disqualification when William Regal interfered.

In other news from the show, the women of the IWF were in a uncharacteristically sharing mood, as all of them struggled to digest exactly what Matthew Mercy had done to Annalise Roberts on Warfare. We were also notified that Annalise has indeed suffered a broken leg and will be out indefinately.

We also saw Torrie Wilson and the Big Gee getting rather friendly with one another. Is true love in the air?

MATCH RESULTS:
Chris Jericho & Chris Benoit defeated Abyss & Phil Jackson
James Gibson pinned Eric Young
Triple H & Matt Morgan defeated Kane & Rob Van Dam
Paul Wardle defeated Finlay by DQ.
Randy Orton pinned Shawn Michaels

Warfare 24/0/5/06

The wrestling world was abuzz after Super Schiznit Sunday and Matthew Mercy made his intentions pretty clear on this historic edition of Warfare.

Mercy kicked off the show with an in-ring interview where he claimed that his intereference in the main event of SSS had virtually finished Dean Roberts' career and that if Dean had the guts to show up tonight, he'd put the final full stop on it. However, as Mercy knew full well, Dean was hundreds of miles away under hospital supervision and was never going to be in attendance. Unpreturbed though, Mercy had other plans for the evening.

Later on, Dean's wife Annalise had a shot at the Women's Title against Alexis Laree and looked on the verge of taking the title...until Mercy stook his nose in. His distraction was enough for Alexis to take the win, but after the decision was one of the most shocking moments in IWF history as Mercy brutally destroyed Annalise, leaving her lying in a pool of her own blood with a suspected broken leg. We can only imagine what might happen next.

In other news, Jay Reso and Randy Orton set the scene for their World Title match at Heat Wave with a contract signing. Reso laid on the barbs thick, but he was left prone on the floor following an Orton RKO.

In matches, new World Tag Team champions Chris Kanyon & Kurt Angle continued their uneasy alliance as they defeated former champions America's Most Wanted in a brutal Steel Cage match. Kanyon & Angle continue to gel as a team, but it is clear that the mutual trust is still missing.

Chris Benoit went to a stiff no-contest with William Regal after the tough Irish bastard Finlay interfered. After the match Regal and Finlay seemed to be in cahoots and have planned the whole thing.

The night opened with new UK Champion CM Punk defeating former champion Shelton Benjamin in a great match-up. Shelts was less than pleased with yet another loss to Punk though and continued the onslaught after the bell until Colt Cabana made the save.

And in the other match of the evening, Triple H pinned Phil Jackson.

In other news, footage was shown of the Big Gee and Torrie Wilson on their date, which had seen the two grab invites to David & Victoria Beckham's World Cup Party. We also saw Canadain Cruiserweight Eric Young attack World Cruiserweight Champion Rick Shaw AGAIN before being ordered out of the arena by IWF Commissioner Eric Bischoff.

MATCH RESULTS:
CM Punk pinned Shelton Benjamin
Chris Benoit went to a no-contest with William Regal
Alexis Laree pinned Annalise Roberts
Triple H pinned Phil Jackson
Chris Kanyon & Kurt Angle defeated America's Most Wanted

HEAT WAVE 2006 PREVIEW

HEAT WAVE 2006
Sunday 25th June 2006
JJB Stadium, Wigan

LOSER RETIRES MATCH:
Vs
Matthew Mercy Vs Dean Roberts

For 11 years there has been one question. Who is the better man? Well now is the chance for the final and definative answer. Following on from Matthew Mercy's shocking return at Super Scihznit Sunday, where he cost Dean Roberts his World Title opportunity, this is the match that will end the rivalry once and for all. The loser will never wrestle in the IWF again. Will Hollywood superstar Matthew Mercy finish off his career-long rival, or will the Icon Dean Roberts have the last laugh. Quite simply, this is a match that you cannot afford to miss.

UNIFIED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE:
Vs
Randy Orton Vs Jay Reso

Randy Orton may have been seen as lucky to escape from Super Schiznit Sunday still as the World Heavyweight Champion, but that he did. Jay Reso won the Elimination Chamber match to be officially declared the number one contender and thus get his first ever shot at the World title. Can Orton pull another big win out of the bag or will Reso grab the gold in his first attempt?

WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES:

Vs
Chris Kanyon & Kurt Angle Vs Triple H & Matt Morgan

The unlikely pairing of Chris Kanyon and Kurt Angle were forced to team together at SSS and won the Tag Team Titles. Although the duo have made their dislike for each other perfectly clear, their competitive juices have made them quite the champions. However this is their biggest test yet as the imposing team of Matt Morgan and Triple H stand in their way. Four former Unified World Champions meet in what is sure to be an epic battle.

WORLD CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE:
Vs
Rick Shaw Vs Eric Young

Shaw has been the most dominant Cruiserweight Champion of modern times, but Young's cocky and brash style has made people sit up and notice and many believe that this could be the night that Shaw comes unstuck. Shaw disagrees, but knows that he will have one hell of a fight on his hands if he is to remain the Champion.

STRONG STYLE TAG TEAM MATCH;
Vs
Chris Benoit & Samoa Joe Vs Finlay & William Regal

The IWF has been invaded by some of the toughest competitors on these shores and four of them meet in this special strong style tag team challenge. Neither team will concede an inch and this promises to be brutal, bloody and memorable.

Vs
Shawn Michaels Vs Peter Turner

Turner's return to the IWF was a huge surprise, but he made his intentions very clear from the onset by targeting The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels. Micheals has made it clear that he's nobody's stepping stone, but Turner sees this as the first step along his path to becoming the World Champion.

SIX MAN TAG TEAM ACTION

Vs

MNM & Shelton Benjamin Vs Second City Saints & Charles Haas

Six of the most impressive up and coming superstars in the IWF meet in this six-man encounter. European tag team champions MNM team with Shelton Benjamin to take on the Second City Saints and Charles Haas. Benjmain wants revenge on CM Punk, who took his UK title from him at SSS, but all six men have been drawn into this all-out war.

Super Schiznit Sunday RESULTS

So it was time for the IWF's first ever "interactive" PPV, Super Schiznit Sunday. But what had the fans decided for the evening? Well we'd find out in due course. George Minister and Mike Sanders were your commentators, and esteemed IWF commissioner Eric Bischoff was your compere for the evening...

First up was the Cruiserweight International Challenge. The results of the IWF.com vote were as follows;

The Great Sasuke 45%
Eric Young 29.65%
Super Crazy 25.35%

Rick Shaw Vs The Great Sasuke ( * * * ) - This was an entertaining way to kick off the show and although Sasuke in reality got less than half the total vote, he did seem a favoured choice from the fans in the arena. The action certainly was good, although it was drastically clear that Sasuke has lost a little of his edge since his heyday. Still there was enough hot moves on display to mean that this was a well received show opener, including a Sasuke Special (cartwheel plancha) for which the crowd popped huge! In the end though it was Shaw who went over, finishing off his opponent with the Shaw Thing for the 1-2-3. Shaw and Sasuke shook hands afterwards and all was well with the world....well at least until Eric Young ran to the ring, obviously upset that he hadn't got the vote, and obliterated both of them. Which can only presumably mean that he's sticking around. A great little opener all round.

After this match we were then treated to the six divas in the PIck Your Fantasy Tag Team Match walking onto the rampway for no other reason but to find out what the IWF fans had chosen for their outfits! The results of the IWF.com poll were as follows;

Sexy Secretary 42.55%
Nurses 29.65%
Schoolgirls 27.8%

So Sexy Secretary's it was and the girls went off backstage in order to get changed. We were then informed that next up was Charles Haas Vs Lance Storm in their special grudge match and Eric informed us that the IWF fans had voted as follows;

Submission Match 69.35%
Ladder Match 27.85%
Flag Match 2.8%

Lance Storm Vs Charles Haas (Submission Match, * * * 1/2 ) So a submission match it was (funny that UK fans weren't all that bothered about a Canada Vs US Flag match huh?) which seemed to suit both men. Indeed whilst the two made little bones about their new-found hatred for each other, this was a straight down the middle technical delight....which naturally didn't go down all that well with the crowd. Which kind of made for a strange atmosphere. The match itself was very good, and indeed did eventually drag the crowd into it towards the end, but for the most part few people actually cared. Which was a damn shame (and also rather worrying for the two men concerned) as both men put forward supreme performances. In the end Storm took the dukes with his Canadian Maple Leaf finisher, but where either men goes from here is open to question.

Then we saw who would get to go on a date with the dapper looking Big Gee; the votes were as follows;

Torrie Wilson 39.95%
Stacy Keibler 30.75%
Jackie Gayda 29.3%

So much to her delight it was Torrie, and we were told we would see footage from the date on Warfare.

After that it was time to get to the Pick Your Fantasy Match...

Melina, Alexis & Lisa Marie Vs Annalise, Christy & Carina ( * 1/4 ) - Seriously, come on. Tight skirts and high heels were never going to be conducive to a great match were they? The women tried their best (with both Christy and Carina showing commendable fire for their in-ring PPV debuts) but really they were hampered right from the start. Still, in the end, Annalise got the pinfall for her team which, we were informed out of nowhere of, entitles her to a shot at Alexis Laree's Women's Title on Warfare...presumably without the dress-up!

And so it came time to see who was going to be the man chosen to face World Champion Randy Orton for the World Title in the main event of the show. All three men were stood backstage awaiting the verdict from the fans...the verdict which came out as follows;

Dean Roberts 49.15%
Kurt Angle 30.95%
Chris Kanyon 19.9%

Chris Kanyon immediately stormed off with a face like thunder but Kurt had the graciousness to offer Dean Roberts the best of luck. Dean was then interviewed by tonight's backstage interviewer of choice Sam "Beauty & The Geek" Wyness. He thanked the fans for giving him this opportunity and said he would do everything within his power not to let them down.

America's Most Wanted Vs Chris Kanyon & Kurt Angle ( * * * 1/4 ) - Of course with Dean in the main event it meant that Angle & Kanyon got the consoloation prize of a shot at the World Tag Team Champions America's Most Wanted. Kanyon didn't seem at all interested in the prospect of this match but he and Angle had some words in the middle of the ring whilst waiting for AMW to appear and they shook hands which seemed to indicate that the two would give it their best. And give it their best they did. Whilst never really reaching the heights that this may have done under better circumstances (insiders state that the wrestlers only found out about this match the moment that the fans did) this still showed that these four men are great workers. As you would expect, the superior experience of being a team held AMW in good stead and they started off the match with a bang. The challengers rallied though and soon began to control things themselves. The interesting storyline of the match seemed to be Kanyon's internal fight over whether he was going to desert Angle, but in the end he "did the right thing" and actually led his team to victory as after Angle had taken care of Chris Harris with the Angle Lock, Kanyon hit the Kanyon Kutter on James Storm to wrap up the 1-2-3 and win Kanyon & Angle the world tag team championships! A great match, but the result was a bit of a shocker. It remains to be seen where all four men go from here.

So next up was the battle of the Monsters as Kane and Abyss squared off against each other. The IWF.com vote was as follows;

Tables Match 46.55%
Inferno Match 43.35%
Chain Match 10.1%

Abyss Vs Kane (Tables Match, * * * 1/2) - Was this the greatest techincal match you will ever see...? Of course not, but is was a very strong and brutal anything goes Table match. Both men set up some insane looking stunts and the idea behind the match was that the winner was the first man to put his opponent through a table...which gave the loophole that if you put yourself through a table (ie, your opponent moved before you connected) then the match continued. And yes, we got that scenario a couple of times, once when Kane's leg drop hit nothing but bare table and another time when Abyss' big elbow hit nothing but wood. In the end though it was Abyss who prevailed as he hit the Black Hole Slam on Kane through a table to wrap up a hard fought, and often thrilling, battle.

So next up it was time to see which THREE opponents would be facing Shelton Benjamin in the Four Corners match for the United Kingdom Title. Eric Bischoff informed the fans that the IWF.com vote had gone as follows;

CM Punk 19.25%
Chris Jericho 18.85%
Booker T 14.5%
Chris Benoit 9.85%
Johnny Nitro 8%
Mark Jindrak 6.85%
Sean O'Haire 6.25%
Rob Van Dam 5%
Rhino 4.5%
Joey Mercury 3.25%
Colt Cabana 2.55%
Edge 1.15%

Shelton Benjamin Vs CM Punk Vs Chris Jericho Vs Booker T (* * * 1/4) - Well whilst it wasn't a shock really to see Jericho and Booker getting spots (no matter how little the IWF does with those two they always make an entertaning part of the show with it), it was perhaps a huge surprise that CM Punk not only made the top 3, but got the most votes out of the lot of them. Considering that once again this four man match was as much of a surprise to the wrestlers as to anyone else this was another quality match-up. Jericho & Booker were a hoot and Benjamin and Punk showed a chemsitry as well. And for all of those who questioned whether or not the whole "interactive" idea would mean anything, well you got your answer in this one as CM Punk actually took the pinfall win over Benjamin which made him the new United Kingdom Champion!

So Elimination Chamber time, which was hastily lowered into position as we saw more clips of how the Gee's date was getting on...But before all that, Eric Bischoff annoucned the results of the Elimination Chamber poll. And remember, only the winner and the losers of this poll would get a fixed draw (as 6th and 1st in accordingly - which is an idea that isn't as illogical as you may have first thought if you think about it)...the rest would be injected into the match at random. Anyway, the IWF.com poll vote was as follows;

Jay Reso 27.65%
Shawn Michaels 25.95%
Triple H 19.85%
Phil Jackson 10.05%
Paul Wardle 8.5%
Matt Morgan 8.0%

Elimination Chamber Match (* * * *) - So we knew that Matt Morgan was first into the Elimination Chamber, but who was the unlucky person to be drawn second...? None other than the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels. So here is the way that the match went...

Entrant 1; Matt Morgan
Entrant 2; Shawn Michaels
Entrant 3; Paul Wardle
Entrant 4; Phil Jackson
Phil Jackson eliminated (pinned by Paul Wardle)
Entrant 5; Triple H
Entrant 6; Jay Reso
Matt Morgan eliminated (pinned by Shawn Michaels)
Shawn Michaels eliminated (pinned by Triple H)
Triple H eliminated (pinned by Jay Reso)
Paul Wardle eliminated (pinned by Jay Reso)

WINNER OF THE MATCH: JAY RESO

The match itself was very good indeed and played out to some intense reactions from the crowd. As far as they were concerned the right man won too and Reso got a rousing reception from the crowd. The one "downside" of the match was the quick burial of Phil Jackson, who may be paying for one to many indiscresions. Still, Jackson aside, all the men involved looked good and should all benefit in one way or the other.

After all that what could possibly be next...? Well it would be none other than the debut of the beast Barabus Lashley. The hype for his arrival has been pretty good, even if the choice of opponents wasn't exactly awe-inspiring. Still, the IWF.com voters made this of it...

Brian Kendrick 78.25%
Ray Gordy 13.85%
Matt Hardy 7.9%

Barabus Lashley Vs Brian Kendrick (Sq...but a great one) - Did the IWF fans vote for Kendrick because they were solidly behind his chances of pulling off one of the biggest upsets of the year, or did they pick him because of the liklihood of Barabus killing him? Who knows... But at least Kendrick did his best to put Lashley over as a killing machine. Lashley absolutey smashed the poor lad before finishing him off with "The Dominator". Whatever your thoughts on the reasonings, there is no doubt that this was one impressive debut.

Randy Orton Vs Dean Roberts ( * * * 3/4 ) So, finally we got to the main event of the evening, and the atmosphere was quite something. Say what you want about the International Wrestling Federation "leading" the fans to this match but this really was storytelling at its finest. The young, ruthless and fighting champion against the ageing lion who was possibly on his last title chance. Orton was superb and Dean played his role to perfection...and the shocking ending was off the scale! Dean looked in control but as he went for the Scolarship, Orton tried to counter it but in the melee the referee went down. Roberts hit The Scholarship but there was no-one to count the pin. As Orton slowly staggered to his feet, Dean decided to hit the move again but no sooner had he done so than a hooded figure hopped over the guard rail and absolutely smashed into Dean, really knocking seven bells out of him and opening up a huge gash on Dean's face with a series of brutal Steel Chair shots. Then, in a moment that will be with this viewer forever more, the man slowly removed the hood to reveal....MATTHEW MERCY!!!!! The crowd went ape as Mercy made his way back through the crowd and Orton slowly got to his feet, just as the referee was stirring and got the pinfall victory.

Thoughts on how the show would go were mixed prior to the event, but on the whole this proved to be an entertaning and unique event with a lot of great stuff going on. Still whatever else happened it's the closing moments that will go into folklore. Matthew Mercy's return was as brutal as it was unexpected and ended a great show on a high note. Who knows where it will go from here.

Action 21/05/06

The last stop before SSS recaped most of the feuds leading up to the big show and was the last chance for the IWF fans to be swayed in terms of voting at SSS.

In matches, SSS ballot opponents Ray Gordy & Matt Hardy battled, with Gordy taking the pinfall win. Finlay pinned Jeff Jarrett and the European Tag Team Champions MNM went to a no-contest with Sean O'Haire & Rhino when a whole host of wrestlers involved in the UK Title Sweepstakes at SS got involved.

Match Results;
Ray Gordy pinned Matt Hardy
Finlay pinned Jeff Jarrett
MNM went to a no contest with Sean O Haire & Rhino

Impact 19/05/06

The final prime time stop before Super Schiznit Sunday gave the fans plenty of opportunity to consider just how they should vote for the ballot!

In the main event of the evening, the six men who will step into hell in the Elimination Chamber this Sunday night battled in a stellar tag team match which ended when Jay Reso got an important pinfall victory over former World Champion Matt Morgan.

In other matches, in a 12 man battle royale involving all those who are in the ballot for a shot at Shelton Benjamin's UK title at SS, Mark Jindrak took the spoils, last eliminating his former tag team partner Sean O Haire. Annalise Roberts defeated Melina by pinfall in a match which, as you might expect, featured run-in's by Alexis Laree, Lisa Marie Veron, Christy Hemme and Carina. And following on from his impressive debut on Warfare (pinning Dean Roberts nonetheless) Oleg Prudius easily defeated Burchill. Once again after the match Burchill was despondant and he told the world that they'd seen the last of Paul Burchill.

In other news the hotly anticipated Peter Turner sit-down interview aired. In it he admitted that there had been problems in the past between him and IWF management, but that he was only interested in what would happen in the future. He said that despite all his achievments in the world of wrestling there was still one thing which had alluded him...the World Heavyweight Title. And he said that is what he was here to claim! There was also a Bikini parade for the benefit of the Big Gee (oh and also for the benefit of the fans so they could get a better idea as to who they should pick for the Big Gee's date at SSS). According to the fans in the arena, Torrie was the winner.

And there was also one final chance for Kurt Angle, Chris Kanyon and (a banged up) Dean Roberts to sway the fans' vote prior to SSS. But Randy Orton now seemed unpreturbed, saying that he was more confident that ever about retaining his title...although the smile was wiped from his face when he was attacked by all three men and subjected to the Angle Slam, Kanyon Kutter and The Scholarship in quick succession.

Match Results;
Mark Jindrak won a 12 man battle royale (also including; Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam, MNM, Second City Saints, Edge, Booker T , Rhino, Sean O Haire)
Annalise Roberts pinned Melina
Oleg Prudius pinned Burchill
Shawn Michaels, Jay Reso & Phil Jackson defeated Triple H, Matt Morgan & Paul Wardle.

Warfare 17/05/06

In the final week before Super Schiznit Sunday the three men in the World Title Ballot were given a taste of what it will be like for the World Champion Randy Orton at the ppv as he chose their opponents in three seperate matches. The Cruiserweght Contenders at SSS got a chance to showcase their skills as did four men who will meet in singles matches at the show. And the six men who will walk into battle in the Elimination Chamber match got their chance to give their reasons as why the fans should vote for them to be the last entrant into the match.

Randy Orton delighted in being able to choose the opponents for his SSS challengers. For Chris Kanyon he chose The Big Gee and it was looking like Gee would take the fight and seriously weaken Kanyon's momentum going into SSS, but some timely distraction from Torrie Wilson, Stacy Keibler and Jackie Gayda meant that Kanyon was able to get the win. Kurt Angle was taken to the limit by his rough and ready opponent Finaly. The two had a brutal and hard-hitting match which Angle only just sneaked away from with the victory. But Orton was pleased that his possible opponent had had such a hard time. The biggest shocker though came as Randy introduced Dean Roberts' opponent...the physical phenom that is OLEG PRUDIUS. Dean couldn't believe it as Oleg, accompanied by his manager NIKITA KOLOFF , stormed down to the ring. Dean fought valiantly, but in the end the odds were too much; when the referee went down, Orton took that as his opportunity to strike, hitting Dean with an RKO. Angle and Kanyon both ran out in an attempt to even up the odds, but Orton and Prudius cleaned house before Prudius pinned a bloodied and battered Dean. With all three men who may oppose Orton at SSS taking a beating, it's advantage Randy so far.

In other matches, Eric Young won the Cruiserweight Showcase by pinning Super Crazy in a match also featuring The Great Sasuke. In the aftermath, Cruiserweight champion Rick Shaw attempted to shake Young's hand but merely got a slap across the face for his troubles. Six more men who may get a shot at Shelton Benjamin at SSS met in a classic tag team battle as the dream team of Rob Van Dam, Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit defeated Edge, Rhino and Booker T. And Lance Storm & Kane went to a no-contest with Charles Haas and Abyss in a wild encounter, which only makes the Storm/Haas and Kane/Abyss issues leading up to SSS all the more exciting.

In other news, the six man Elimination Chamber debate was turned on its head when a six-man tag match was announced for the upcoming episode of Impact. After weeks of women turning him down, The Big Gee suddenly found that he was irresistable to the opposite sex and Torrie, Stacy and Jackie all wanted him...the solution? Let the fans decide on his date at SSS!

Match Results;
Chris Kanyon defeated The Big Gee
Eric Young defeated Super Crazy & The Great Sasuke in a 3-way match
Kurt Angle defeated Finlay
Rob Van Dam, Chris Jericho & Chris Benoit defeated Edge, Rhino & Booker T
Lance Storm & Kane went to a no-contest with Charles Haas & Abyss
Oleg Prudius defeated Dean Roberts

Samoa Joe Signs IWF Contract

Today the International Wrestling Federation is proud to announce to their fans that the Samoan Submission Machine Samoa Joe has signed a deal with the promotion.

Joe started his professional wrestling career in September of 1999 as the first graduate of the UIWA's now-defunct West Coast Dojo where he was trained under the guidance of West Coast indy legend Cincinnati Red. He has wrestled all over the world and has gained a reputation as one of the hardest hitting wrestlers of the modern day.

"I felt the time was right to make a splash in the IWF" said Joe when we caught up with him today. "There comes a time when you have to push yourself that little bit further and harder and I firmly believe I can do that here in the IWF."

Action 14/05/06

With Super Schiznit Sunday only a week away, Action was another exciting step on the way to the IWF's first ever Interactive PPV...

The Four Corners Sweepstake for the United Kingdom title was announced, and six of the men involved in that ballot battled in a crazy six man main event. In the end, MNM & Edge managed to see off the Second City Saints & RVD when Johnny Nitro pinned Colt Cabana. Two of the men who are in line to face Barabus Lashley in his debut match at SSS also met, with Brian Kendrick taking the win over Ray Gordy.

In other action there were wins for Cruiserweight Champion Rick Shaw (over Gregory Helms) and Sean O'Haire (over Bill DeMott)

Match Results;
Brian Kendrick pinned Ray Gordy
Sean O'Haire defeated Bill DeMott
Rick Shaw pinned Gregory Helms
MNM & Edge defeated Second City Saints & Rob Van Dam

Impact 12/05/06

Just 9 days away from Super Schiznit Sunday, and the action was as hot as ever on Impact.

The three men in the World Title ballot, Chris Kanyon, Kurt Angle and Dean Roberts met in the ring for a face-to-face and give the fans reasons why they should be chosen to face Randy Orton. The three men ended up fighting, before Randy Orton came out and dropped a bombshell. He had persuaded Eric Bishcoff to let him choose opponents for the three men next week on Warfare...and to make it just like SSS he wouldn't be telling him who those men were until the night of the show!

In the main event, the four men who had previously qualified for the Elimination Chamber match at SSS were pitted against each other and Triple H teamed up with Paul Wardle to take on, and defeat, Jay Reso & Phil Jackson. The end of a thrilling battle came when Triple H finished off Jackson with the pedigree.

The two final men for the Elimination Chamber match at SSS were decided as we saw the final qualifiers. Matt Morgan defeated Chris Benoit in a bruising encounter to seal his spot in the Chamber, whilst Shawn Michaels pinned Rob Van Dam to take the 6th and final spot in the big pay-per-view match.

In an exciting Women's tag match, Alexis Laree & Melina defeated Annalise Roberts & Carina, after interference from Lisa Marie Veron. The 3-on-2 beating continued until Christy Hemme made the save. Shortly afterwards the "Choose Your Fantasy" six woman tag match was signed for SSS by Eric Bischoff. In other matches, Lance Storm went to a no-contest with Kane after both Abyss and Charles Haas got involved, and Finlay defeated Rhino by pinfall.

Eric also announced the International Challenge for the Cruiserweight challenge for SSS and said that the three men in that ballot (Mexico's Super Crazy, Japan's Great Sasuke and Canada's Eric Young would meet in a three-way match next week on Warfare. We saw clips from the press conference that announced that Beauty and The Geek's Sam Wyness has signed a contract with the IWF and we heard the news that the returning Peter Turner would be taping a sit-down interview with George Minister that would be aired on next week's Impact.

Match Results;
Matt Morgan defeated Chris Benoit (Elimination Chamber Qualifier)
Alexis Laree & Melina defeated Annalise Roberts & Carina
Lance Storm & Kane battled to a no-contest

Monty Brown Released

Today the International Wrestling Federation came to an agreement with Monty Brown to release him from his contract.

We wish him all the best in his future endeavours.

WARFARE 10/05/06

As we continue on the road to Super Schiznit Sunday, Warfare once again saw some huge news about the IWF's first ever Interactive PPV and a whole lot of other craziness.

The show kicked off with the three men in the World Title ballot at SSS in the ring, each with an opportunity to convince the fans that they were the men who deserved the vote! Things were soon interrupted by World Champion Randy Orton, who suggested that all three men should meet tonight in a three-way match to let the fans have a chance to see who deserves the vote. Eric Bischoff agreed that all three men would be in action tonight, but with a twist. Kurt Angle and Chris Kanyon would be teaming to take on Dean Roberts and...RANDY ORTON! It was hard to see who was more horrified by this announcement. And the match again ended in chaos as Angle & Kanyon once again couldn't get along, but they actually won the match as Orton RKO'd his own partner Dean, enabling Angle to get the pinfall victory.

In Elimination Chamber qualifiers heated rivals Phil Jackson and Paul Wardle both advanced to the SSS match, but not without help from some very unexpected sources. Kane, looking for revenge from Impact, helped Jackson to a win over Abyss, but later in the evening Abyss returned the favour, costing Abyss his match over Wardle. Eric Bischoff was so angry at both men's actions that he said that there was only one way to settle this...the two must meet, one-on-one at SSS, with the fans deciding the stipulation.

In other matches, Lisa Marie Veron and Carina went to a no-contest after Women's World Champion Alexis Laree interfereed, looking for pay-back after her non-title defeat to Carina on Warfare. However just as it looked as if Carina was in for a brutal beating, Annalise Roberts made the save and saw Laree & Veron off. World Cruiserweight Champion Rick Shaw defeated Bryan Danielson in a great match up to retain his title and United Kingdom Champion Shelton Benjamin pinned Chris Benoit, but had to cheat to get the win by using the ropes for leverage.

Plus, Charles Haas caught up with Lance Storm backstage and asked why Storm hadn't been on hand at Impact. Storm apologised and then shook hands with Haas but as Haas turned his back to walk off, Storm brutally attacked him and then mockingly wished his former tag team partner all the best. Later in the show, Eric Bischoff comfirmed that the two would meet at SSS, with the fans getting the chance to choose the stipulation! The Big Gee tried to get a date with Torrie Wilson but just like the past few weeks, he was turned down once again.

MATCH RESULTS:
Lisa Marie Veron & Carina went to a no-contest
"The Graduate" Phil Jackson defeated Abyss (Elimination Chamber Qualifier)
Rick Shaw pinned Bryan Danielson
Paul "The Phenomenon" Wardle defeated Kane (Elimination Chamber Qualifier)

Beauty & The Geek Star joins the IWF!!!

Today the International Wrestling Federation announced that Sam Wyness, runner up in the recent Channel 4 game-show Beauty & The Geek, has signed a contract with the International Wrestling Federation. It is expected that she will be an on-air interviewer and is expected to make her debut at the Super Schiznit Sunday pay-per-view on May 21st.

"It really is an honour to sign with the IWF" said Sam at the press conference to announce her signing. "I met a bunch of the guys at the recent Soccer Six event and I'd already been in talks with the promotion, but the friendliness of the guys really sealed the deal for me. Dean Roberts in particaular was a really nice guy."

Dean even had a confession to make. "Dean said he'd watched the show and had actually cried during certain parts of it" said Sam. "I thought at first he was joking, but he was deadly serious."

We conctacted Dean this morning to ask for his comments and he admitted he found the whole thing very emotional. "Me and Gee both watched it actually. I was quite made up when Sam knocked Natalie out. At times though, it was a very emotional show." When asked about Sam's prospects in the IWF Dean was confident she would do well; "She's a natural. She'll shine for sure."

New IWF Signings

The International Wrestling Federation is proud to announce the following new signings to the company.

OLEG PRUDIUS

Oleg is a Russian born professional wrestler, with ample experience in the Baltic states. Standing 6' 6" tall and weighing in at 310 lbs he is one of the most physically imposing superstars ever seen in the IWF. Oleg has an amateur background and was the winner of the 2005 USA Open Heavyweight Sambo championship; he has also played professional American Football in Germany and was a member of the USKBA.
When we contacted Oleg today, this is what he had to say;

Это - удовольствие находиться здесь в IWF. Я долго хотел проверить меня во всем мире, и все самые большие и лучшие борющиеся суперзвезды находятся здесь в IWF.

Translated that is something like; "I have often wanted to test myself around the world, and the IWF has the biggest and the best superstars in the world."

PETER TURNER

In a day that many thought would never come, former IWF great Peter Turner has reached a deal to return to the IWF. It's been nearly 5 years since Turner was in an IWF ring but against all the odds Turner has struck a deal to return. "I've truly learned that this is a business in which you can never say never" said Turner when we contacted him this morning. "I've never stopped being a wrestler and have worked all over the world since leaving the IWF but recently I've begun to think that there is unfinished business that needs to be attended to!" When asked if he thought his previous acrimonious departures from the IWF would have a negative effect on his latest tenure he was adamant that it would not. "That was a long time ago. And if there was any underlying resentment on either side...well I wouldn't be sat here talking to you about a new contract. I think I can speak for both myself and the company at large when I say that we are only looking forward, not backwards."

KRISSY VAINE

The strongest IWF women's division we've ever seen has just got that little bit stronger...and HOTTER...with the news that Krissy Vaine has signed a deal with the company. Krissy has been involved with the wrestling business since 2001 as both a manager and a wrestler, and now is finally her time to unleash the force on the IWF. "I was always that the IWF is the place to be" said Krissy when we caught up with her "but it was only once I started training with Tully Blanchard and Rick Steamboat that I realised just exactly what I had to do to get myself to the dance." Now is her chance to prove she has what it takes!

SHINYA MAKABE

This tough and bruising Japanese wrestler has signed a full time deal with the International Wrestling Federation which will commence once his Japanese committments are finished.

Monty Brown Arrested

In the early hours of Monday morning (8th May), IWF wrestler Monty Brown was stopped by police and charged with being drunk whilst driving a vehicle.

At this point, no further details are known.

ACTION - 07/05/06

Action showcased some of the IWF's hottest up and coming talents this week. The Bang Gang (Loco Delgardo & Flavio Love) made their IWF debuts and defeated the team of Monty Brown & Burchill. After the decision, Burchill stormed out of the arena in a huff and would only say that "the time has come for a change."

In his return to the rings of the IWF Mark Jindrak pinned Batista and Booker T picked up a good victory by defeating "The Famous" Chuck Palumbo

In the main event, United Kingdom CHampion Shelton Benjamin successfully retained his title by defeating Matt Hardy.

Other celebrity teams include Coronation Street, Casualty, Football Legends and Beauty & The Geek.

Phil Jackson Statement

IWF Superstar Phil Jackson has asked that we publish the following statement from him on our website

Over the past few days there have been a number of reports in various news outlets regarding an incident involving myself over the MuscleMania weekend. Whilst I would catergoricaly deny the allegations made by certain parties I have to admit that my behaviour at the after-show party on Sunday night was unbecoming of my status as an IWF employee. I would like to take this opportunity to apologise unreservedly to anyone who may have taken offence at my actions and I would also like to take the opportunity to apologise to my family and friends who have been placed under unneccesary pressure as a result of my action.

The IWF today confirmed that Jackson has been fined a week's wages but is not subjected to any suspension.

IMPACT 05/05/06

Impact was as hot as ever this week with more BIG Super Schiznit Sunday news being announced by Eric Bischoff and the men involved in the main event ballot for the pay-per-view clashing in an awesome six-man tag match.

Eric Bischoff announced to the world that at Super Schiznit Sunday the Elimination Chamber would be unleased as six of the IWF's toughest superstars would clash in a match to decide who would get the World Title Shot, against whomever may be champion, at Heat Wave. And the fans could choose just who would enter the match first, and who would be the lucky man to enter the match last! BUT he announced that superstars would have to win qualifying matches over the next couple of weeks to make it onto that match.

In qualifying action, Triple H booked his spot in the Chamber by defeating Chris Jericho in a classic battle and Jay Reso booked his spot by defeating Edge.

In the main event of the evening, Eric Bischoff forced Randy Orton to team with America's Most Wanted to take on the three men who could oppose Orton at SSS, Chris Kanyon, Dean Roberts & Kurt Angle. As you might expect though though, it was far from plain sailing. Orton made it clear he had no desire to team with AMW and their three opponents all had their minds on the fact that they were competing for the fans vote for SSS. In the end AMW finished Dean Roberts off with the "Death Sentence" as Kanyon & Angle started fighting amongst themselves.

In other matches, intereference by Christy Hemme enabled IWF newcomer Carina to defeat Alexis Laree in a non-title match. Charles Haas pinned Jeff Jarrett, but afterwards seemed upset that his former tag team partner Lance Storm hadn't been on hand to wish him luck. And Carlito got a shock pinfall victory over Kane after the monster Abyss interefered. After the match, Abyss knocked Kane out cold with the Black Hole Slam.

In other news, fans were given an update on JBL's condition. He was said to be stable, but it was now confirmed that he would have to undergo invasive neck surgery next week. The Big Gee tried to get a date with Stacy Keibler, but his efforts failed. Phil Jackson and Paul Wardle confronted Eric Bischoff and demanded that they be entered into the Elimination Chamber; Bisch said that they would have qualifying matches on next week's Warfare. And Sean O'Haire welcomed back his former tag team championship partner Mark Jindrak to IWF television.

MATCH RESULTS:
Triple H pinned Chris Jericho (Elimination Chamber Qualifier)
Carina pinned Alexis Laree
Charles Haas pinned Jeff Jarrett
Jay Reso pinned Edge (Elimination Chamber Qualifier)
Carlito pinned Kane
Randy Orton & America's Most Wanted defeated Kurt Angle, Chris Kanyon & Dean Roberts

New Tricks

Just a quick reminder to all the IWF fans out there that you can catch the Dean Roberts episode of New Tricks this Monday Night (8th May) on BBC1.

Dean stars alongside Amanda Redman, James Bolam, Dennis Waterman and Alun Armstrong in a brand new episode of this hit BBC comedy drama. Dean plays Paul Levesque a retired professional wrestler who may well hold the key to a 20 year old case. He also gets to spend a little quality time with lead detective Sandra Pullman (Redman) as they renkindle an old relationship.

"It was a great experience" said Dean. "The cast and crew welcomed me with open arms and Amanda was a real treat to work with. I've mentioned to Dennis that the next time we need a new theme tune for Warfare or Impact, I'll give him a call!"

Shep Oakwood Suspended

Mike "Shep Oakwood" Bucci has today been suspended from the IWF active roster, without pay, for 90 days.

The suspension serves until Tuesday 22nd August 2006.

JBL INJURY SHOCKER

It has just been revealed in the past hour by IWF medical officials that John Bradshaw Layfield suffered a serious neck and back injury during his match with Finlay on Warfare. The injury came when JBL fell awkwardly off the ring apron and fell head-first onto the concrete floor.

JBL was taken to the Local Hospital and although his condition is regarded as relatively stable, early indications are that JBL will have to undergo Neck fusion surgery and is thus looking at anywhere up to 12 months out of the ring.

We will update you on JBL's condition as soon as we hear more news.

Warfare 03/05/06

The first Warfare following MuscleMania is always a momentous affair, and this proved to be no different.

Randy Orton celebrated his ascension to the Triple Crown throne but his reign was ever so nearly a short-term one. As a result of winning the MuscleMania battle royale perennial IWF favourite Simon Starshot received one last chance to win the Heavyweight World title. But despite an almighty effort, Starshot couldn't upset the odds, and Orton hit the RKO to retain his World Title.

But Orton's fun didn't end there. Much to his disgust, IWF Commissioner Eric Bischoff announced HUGE plans for the upcoming IWF pay-per-view, to be entitled Super Schiznit Sunday. For the first time ever, the fans of the IWF will be able to vote on match stipulations and, in a unique turn of events, will be able to choose Randy Orton's opponent for the World Title. Bischoff informed the world of the choices; Kurt Angle, Chris Kanyon or Dean Roberts. What's more, the two men who don't win that ballot will have to team up to take on reigning World Tag Team Champions, America's Most Wanted at the show.

In other Warfare matches, European Tag Team Champions MNM carried on from where they left off at MM by defeating Gibson & Danielson in a thrilling match. IWF newcomer Finlay continued his impressive displays by defeating JBL via count-out. Shawn Michaels defeated Matt Morgan by DQ when Morgan went on a wrecking spree. Morgan was livid that he is no longer world Champion, but Eric Bischoff promised a HUGE announcement on Impact which would "create a path" for Morgan to regain the title. Abyss pinned Rob Van Dam in an entertaining "insane" style battle. And in his first singles match since the break up of the Alias team, Lance Storm pinned Matt Hardy, in match watched by Charles Haas. After the match, Haas got into the ring and shook hands with his former tag team partner and wished him all the best.

In other news, Vicky was spotted backstage looking very disconsolate but she was soon cheered up by a chance meeting with Jay Reso. Christy Hemme made her Warfare debut and got into a heated arguement with Women's Champion Alexis Laree. Dean Roberts & Chris Kanyon had an interesting talk as regards the Super Schiznit Sunday main event, and the Big Gee tried, but failed, to get Jackie Gayda to go on a date with him.

MATCH RESULTS;
MNM defeated James Gibson & Bryan Danielson
Finlay defeated JBL by Count-out
Shawn Michaels defeated Matt Morgan via DQ
Abyss pinned Rob Van Dam
Lance Storm pinned Matt Hardy
Randy Orton pinned Simon Starshot
