November Pain served many purposes on the road the most historic weekend
in IWC history: “A Call to Arms” weekend at the Court Time Sports Center on
December 7th & 8th. It will be a tribute to spirit, it will be controlled chaos,
and most of all it will be a celebration of IWC’s past, present, and future.
One purpose served is we now know all three titles will be defended at A Call to
Arms 4. After Dennis Gregory’s cheap win over Chris Hero, putting his feet on
the ropes to capture the winning pinfall, Gregory was introduced to his opponent
for the December supershow weekend: newfound #1 contender Ray Rowe, who ended
his series with “Havana Pitbull” Ricky Reyes earlier in the night after a
brutally physical match-up that saw Rowe literally knock Reyes out with eight
consecutive brutal German suplexes. Rowe and Gregory went nose-to-nose and the
announcement would have an extra twist… To keep the competitors in the ring, and
perhaps more importantly to keep the rest of Dennis Gregory’s War Machine out of
the ring… the title match would be contested inside a 15 foot high steel cage!
The #1 contender to the Super Indy Title was also determined. After John
McChesney got himself cheaply disqualified in his match with Troy Lords earlier
in the night, ending with a disgusting beat down of Balls Hot, before, of all
people, Super Hentai, led a locker room revolt to make the save, The Fabulous
One could look ahead to his next top contender. It was former champion “Sweet &
Sour” Larry Sweeney who outlasted both previous top contender Davey Richards,
and Justin Idol who made his first venture into IWC singles competition after
growing increasingly frustrated with the lack of seriousness and focus from
Sexual Harassment partner Eric Xtasy. After the match, Sweeney’s focus shifted
to not only gaining his Super Indy title back, but revenge. Revenge for being
screwed out of the title, and revenge for being busted wide open by McChesney
and Dennis Gregory last July. Sweeney demanded that his Super Indy Title
opportunity with John McChesney… be contested inside a steel cage as well.
Sweeney’s wish was granted and the match was confirmed for December 8.
Without question, the most personal and violent rivalry in IWC right now was on
display when Mickey & Marshall Gambino entered their element, a streetfight,
against the two men whose careers they attempted to end in a couple of violent
“hits”, Shiima Xion & Jason Gory, Babyface Fire. BFF started the match on fire,
seeking revenge against the Family, but with Jimmy DeMarco, Viki Gambino, and
flunkies Flexor & Ferrari close by, the numbers game soon become an issue. The
numbers game, plus the usage of chairs, metal trays, and even thumbtacks led to
another dominant Gambino showing, however following the match, the Gambinos’
dastardly tactics came back to haunt them. An overly cocky Jimmy DeMarco stayed
in the ring taunting a fallen Shiima & Gory with the same tazer he used on Jason
Gory in Gory’s home, but BFF recovered and held DeMarco hostage with his very
own tazer until The Gambinos would agree to give BFF the tag title match they so
desperately craved… inside a steel cage! The Gambinos had no choice but to
accept, and DeMarco ended up tazed regardless, as Gory & Xion took great delight
in exacting a small measure of revenge. Now the faction that deserves to be
locked up for their recent actions, will be locked inside 15 feet of steel with
their one-time victims. Gambinos vs. Babyface Fire for the IWC Tag Team Titles!
We also saw the return of a bona fide IWC legend: the longest reigning IWC
Champion in history, the incomparable Shirley Doe, who joined longtime friend
Super Hentai and Delirious, a friend of Hentai’s dating back to their time
together training under former NWA World Champion Dory Funk Jr., in their war
with the one-time Unholy Alliance, now-dubbed War Machine of “The Shooter” Brent
Albright, “Fabulous” John McChesney and Doe and Hentai’s former tag partner
Sebastian Dark. While it seems that Hentai and Troy Lords still have difficulty
trusting one another and uniting together after the wars they had throughout
2006, Hentai knew he could call on Shirley Doe to help fight off a group each
man had once devoted their lives to before it turned into a glorified Dennis
Gregory support group. Shirley Doe’s return did not disappoint, scoring the
winning pinfall for his team after a top-rope huracanrana and Sillyhead 2. Doe’s
return marks another major addition to a growing list of individuals becoming
increasingly fed up with Dennis Gregory and his War Machine.
We also saw the return of Eric Xtasy’s “All Male Revue” interview segment with
special guest… Bubba the Bulldog. After some good-natured fun by Eric, Bubba
very quickly got down to business. When faced with the news that “The Franchise”
Shane Douglas was making his IWC return for “A Call to Arms 4” on December 8,
Bubba was enraged. Bubba is the man responsible for ending Shane Douglas’ IWC
career in the summer of 2004, and issued a very passionate warning and threat to
The Franchise, claiming that he was more than prepared to do it once again. The
bad blood between Bubba and The Franchise clearly hasn’t subsided despite the 3
years Douglas has been away from IWC rings, as Bubba’s repeated claims of being
Pittsburgh’s best wrestler would no doubt be up for debate with the former World
champion Douglas in the house. The latest Bubba/Franchise collision is
inevitable and on December 8th it should be a confrontation that will not soon
be forgotten.
Also on the show, Eric Xtasy & Justin Idol were victorious over upstarts Johnny
Gargano & Michael “The Bomber” Façade with their patented Rose Creeper maneuver.
Earlier in the night, Eric had attempted to reason with Justin Idol, to explain
he was ready to be the serious and focused athlete Justin wanted him to be all
along, so Sexual Harassment can finally climb the ladder and become tag
champions. The team looked good tonight, but is Eric ready to stay focused on
his goal for the long haul? And is Justin Idol satisfied enough to halt his
plans of singles competition and continue on as a part of the Sexual Harassment
dynasty?
We also saw a milestone reached in IWC, as the first one-on-one women’s contest
in IWC history took place, which saw current SHIIMER champion Sara Del Rey
defeat a very accomplished athlete in her own right, and the personal translator
of Delirious, Daizee Haze. Daizee brought the fight to Del Rey, but Sara was
able to defeat her with the Royal Butterfly hold into a suplex. Hopefully, this
is the first of many women's matches in IWC! |
