With the huge 2-day IWC World Heavyweight Title Tournament in Cheswick, PA at
the Steel City Con only 2 weeks away, everybody in IWC was on a quest to prove
that they are ready for the title this past Saturday night at Revengeance 5!
An old friend returned to Pittsburgh as Stevie Richards returned home. His
opponent was none other than the incomparable “Sweet N Sour” Larry Sweeney!
After the match opening “feeling out process” seemed to go Stevie’s way, Sweeney
went back to what he knows best: a strut off! Stevie seemed a bit unprepared for
the antics of the “Sweet N Sour” one, as he opted instead to pull a female fan
from the crowd and do a tango! Sweeney was able to control the majority of the
match, and thought he had things in hand when he hit the 12 Large Elbow. But
Sweeney, and even the IWC fans, were shocked when Richards kicked out! Sweeney
broke into his old bag of tricks and hit Stevie with the ‘68 Comeback Specia;.
But again, Stevie’s resilience pulled through, and he was able to kick out.
Then, out of nowhere, he nailed a Stevie Kick to Sweeney, only to see Sweeney
kick out as well! It took two more Stevie Kicks for him to be able to keep the
ICW/ICWA Tex-Arkana Television Champ down for the three count, and pick up the
win! After the match, Stevie showed his respect for Sweeney and the IWC fans,
and thanked them for such a warm welcome back.
The only gold being defended on Revengeance 5! were the IWC Tag Team Titles as
Sexual Harassment defended against The Best Around! Bubba the Bulldog granted
TBA the title match, giving new talent a chance to shine. They took their
opportunity and brought the fight to the champs. An incredible string of
double-team maneuvers ended with an assisted 450 by TJ Cannon. But Justin Idol
moved out of the way and rolled up Bruce Maxwell to pick up the victory! On
October 25th, Idol enters the IWC World Heavyweight Title Tournament with a
first round match against BabyFace Fire’s Shiima Xion. With Harassment able to
pick up two big wins over BFF this past summer, can Idol capitalize on that
success with a first round victory?
What is being touted by some as the match of the night is Dennis Gregory
battling Jimmy Vega$ for the number one seed in the IWC World Heavyweight Title
Tournament. These two former champions are no strangers to each other, as both
have been on opposite sides of the ring, as well as in each others’ corner.
Gregory was quick to point this fact out before the match, attempting to make an
alliance with Vega$. That alliance was short-lived as Gregory punched him,
sending Vega$ to the mat. The two men battled as old rivals would, knowing each
others next move and capitalizing on it. Gregory landed a breathtaking dive over
the top rope to the floor. They took the fight out of the ring to the IWC
entrance way. With the referee’s count drawing close, Gregory clawed his way
back into the ring to beat the ten count. As a result, the former 5-time IWC
Champion will enter the number one seed in the tournament, taking on number 16,
Logan Shulo.
Revengeance 5! also saw new faces hit IWC as former ECW star Colin Delaney took
on a rejuvinated “Fabulous” John McChesney. While Delaney is a fine competitor
in his own right, McChesney had one thing on his mind: IWC gold. With the
tournament right around the corner, McChesney picked up some much needed
momentum as he was able to put away Delaney with an Electric Chair Driver for
the win.
More new faces debuting for IWC came in the form of Cheech & Cloudy,
collectively known as Up In Smoke. They took on two established teams in IWC,
BabyFace Fire and the Gambino Brothers. BFF and the Gambinos picked up right
where they left off. The Gambinos attempted to take out Shiima Xion with the
help of their sister, Viki. But miscommunication between the team led to
Marshall clotheslining Viki off the apron, and being rolled up by Shiima Xion to
be eliminated first. With the match on the line and BFF having the momentum of
the first fall, Up In Smoke turned it up a notch. Hitting their signature
double-team maneuvers like Partly Cloudy With A Chance Of Cheech and their
double-team backfist/enziguri combo couldn’t keep the former 2-time Tag Team
Champions down, though. Gory was able to come up with the QAS on Cheech out of
nowhere, but Cheech rolled it over only to be met with the Bible Black double
knees by Shiima! That allowed Gory to roll Cheech back over and pick up the win!
Xion will enter the IWC Title Tournament against BFF rival Sexual Harassment’s
Justin Idol.
Logan Shulo began his night by telling the IWC fans he felt like he did not
seize his opportunity at Boiling Point 3 in his tournament qualifying match
against Troy Lords. That’s why he had a big match on his hands with Claudio
Castagnoli. Logan felt he had to prove himself against one of the best in the
world to really earn the spot in the tournament Bubba and promoter Norm Connors
have granted him. The more experienced Castagnoli planted Logan with the Ricola
Bomb to get the win, but Logan may have proven to his detractors that he
deserves his spot in the tournament. But he’ll have a mountain to climb as he
must take on the former 5-time IWC champion Dennis Gregory!
J-Rocc’s newest Cleveland monster, the 375 lb. Shane Taylor debuted for IWC
against “DeeeeeLicious” Jimmy DeMarco, but J-Rocc didn’t get the result he had
hoped for. J-Rocc & Taylor underestimated the heart and determination of Jimmy
D, who had the support of the IWC crowd behind him after his performance against
Mickey Gambino last month. As Jimmy hit the Candy Coated Cookie Cutter (or the
“C4?), his Gambino cousins hit the ring to beat down Shane Taylor, giving him
the DQ win. J-Rocc had to hold Taylor back on the outside of the ring, and took
his monster back to the locker room as the Gambino family bickered in the ring.
Jimmy exited as he spit a fan’s drink on his cousins.
Michael “The Bomber” Facade met with his mentor Super Hentai to determine the #1
contender to IWC Super Indy Champion Johnny Gargano. The student fought
valiantly against his teacher. Facade brought everything he could at the
first-ever Super Indy Champion Hentai, but Hentai’s experience seemed to win
out, as he was able to capitalize on a mistake by Facade to hit the double knees
off the top for the win. With both men entering the IWC World Heavyweight Title
Tournament in 2 weeks as well, does this win give Hentai a little added momentum
for his first round match against the debuting Sami Callihan? |
