CWE Returns to Youngstown, Ohio on Friday, February 20!
by CWE Staff
Championship Wrestling Experience returns to The Wedge in Austintown , Ohio live Friday, February 20th, 2009 as it presents its second event of the year, Battle Lines. Tickets are $10 in advance from Havana House in Niles or The Wedge box office, and doors open at 6:30 pm with the wrestling action starting at 7:30 pm. Fans in attendance will see the fall out from CWE’s last event, Two Years Later, which saw Shiima Xion retain the CWE Undisputed Title, as well as end the two year undefeated streak of Patrick Hayes. Now, onto the matches!
SHIIMA XION DEFENDS THE UNDISPUTED TITLE AGAINST ASHTON AMHERST !
Shiima Xion accomplished on January 16th what no one else including Jake ?The Snake? Roberts, Johnny Gargano and Eddie Kingston could do : pin Patrick Hayes. En route to the pin, Shiima had to overcome the interference of Hayes? associates Krystal Frost and Shiima Xion. He did those things with the help of former foe Johnny Gargano. Amherst , on the other hand but in the same capacity, did what few others in the country have done, and pinned Raymond Rowe. He needed the assistance of Big Dom and Chris LeRusso to do so, but nonetheless, he did it. CWE officials had to jump on the opportunity to make this match happen. Will Shiima again make another first by being the first man to pin Ashton Amherst’s shoulders to the mat, or will Ashton prove to not only Shiima, but everyone else, that he really is that good? In addition, where will Patrick Hayes and Johnny Gargano fall into the equation? We saw at the end of the last event, that whatever problems existed between Shiima and Gargano are now water under the bridge, and they seem to be united against a common foe. One can only imagine the mental capacity Hayes is in after not only losing his undefeated streak, but also not capturing the title. Time will tell how all of this will play out.
STRAIGHT JACKET MAFIA DEFEND THE TAG TEAM TITLES AGAINST BOUNCER AND TUFF TINA!
Benjamin C Steele went to CWE management and whined, cried, and begged to get his team, Straight Jacket Mafia, into the Tag Team Title match at Two Years Later. His pleas were successful, and the team made the best of the opportunity by pinning Matthew Justice to become the brand new CWE Tag Team Champions. Earlier in the night, they cost the LA Gunz the victory in the ten man tag, and in the Tag Team Title match itself, Benjamin C Steele proved himself to be a huge distraction, causing the Franchise Players to chase him around the venue while his team took advantage of Justice for the pin and victory. The Straight Jacket Mafia are making no friends in the tag ranks, and not only does that include LA Gunz and Franchise Players, but it also now extends to The Bouncer and Tuff Tina. Dahmer needed to use a spike to disorient The Bouncer in the ten man tag to eliminate him. This ultimately did not sit well with The Bouncer, who demanded, and was granted, a CWE Tag Team Title shot. Bouncer has had his fair share of partners in the CWE, forming teams with Kurt Fury, Bill Hyatt, and The Creep. This time he called upon the other member of Klub Xtreme, Tuff Tina, to be his partner. Tina is undoubtedly one of the toughest women in the game, and proved that by exchanged blows with Dahmer in January. Will this match be more of BC Steeles interference, or will The Bouncer and Tina walk away with the titles around their waist?
RAYMOND ROWE SQUARES OFF WITH KEVIN BRADWAY!
Raymond Rowe was robbed in January in his match with Ashton Amherst. He did regain some sort of revenge. Chris LeRusso interjected himself in the match, and ultimately led to Ashton rolling Rowe up and getting the three count. After the match had ended, as Dom, Ashton, and LeRusso were celebrating, Rowe got off the ground. Upon seeing the monster awoke, Dom and Ashton left the ring, leaving LeRusso alone with Rowe. While LeRusso tried his best to get away, Rowe was able to hit him with Death Rowe, twice, and leave him unconscious in the ring. Kevin Bradway has been running around the locker room and telling anyone within an earshot about how he is the toughest guy in the CWE. Bradway is fresh off of a victory, being the sole survivor in the ten man tag at Two Years Later. Bradway left an open challenge backstage at Two Years Later to anyone who wanted to challenge him for the Toughest Man in CWE title. This challenge was quickly accepted by Rowe, angry off of his earlier loss. This could indeed be a very scary match for Bradway. There’s a few things you don?t want to do in life. You don?t spit in the wind, you don?t tug on Supermans cape, and you don?t step into the ring with an angry Raymond Rowe who wants revenge on whomever he can get his hands on.
FA?ADE ENTERS LAST, BUT ALSO MUST FACE RYAN MITCHELL!
Fa?ade earned the spot that everyone within the CWE wanted, and that is the last spot in the now annual February Battle Royal. He earned this right by defeating Chris LeRusso, Marion Fontaine, and Ryan Burke. However, before he can enjoy the luxury that number carriers, Fa?ade must step into the ring against Ryan Mitchell. Mitchell is a relative newcomer to CWE, with his only appearance being his victory against Logan Shulo in January. His credentials speak for themselves, being trained by Dory Funk and Rocky Johnson, and being under WWE Development contract. We know the crowd is solidly behind Fa?ade, but the crowd just didn?t seem to give too much to Mitchell in his first appearance. This match will either be another step in Fa?ade’s road to the title, or this can be how Ryan Mitchell firmly establishes himself with the fans of the CWE.
LA GUNZ TAKE ON BAD TO THE BONE!
The LA Gunz quite possibly could have and should have been the guys walking away from the ten man tag with their hands raised. Due to the interference of Straight Jacket Mafia, this was not the case. There is a lot of bad blood between the two teams, stemming back to Lethal Dose last June. Now that Straight Jacket Mafia are the tag team champs, there could be more at stake for the Gunz. While they did want to challenge for the gold at Battle Lines, the team determined that they would profit more from finding others to beat up before going after the Straight Jacket Mafia. Bad to the Bone has not been seen in quite some time in CWE as a team. Moondog Scrap lost at Two Years Later to Hobo Joe after Joe tricked him into thinking he threw his bone into the audience. Scott Prodigy, Scrap’s partner, has made claims that the LA Gunz will not have similar luck with this thought process, and that he will be there to make sure Scrap does not get distracted.
LOGAN SHULO RETURNS TO BATTLE MARION FONTAINE!
?The Megastar? Marion Fontaine is back in the CWE, and has set his sights on going all the way to the top. Fontaine came close several times to winning the last seed in the battle royal, but came up just short in the end to Fa?ade. Logan Shulo made his debut in the CWE at Two Years Later, in an impressive outing against Ryan Mitchell. While Mitchell was victorious in the contest, Logan impressed CWE officials to the point where they signed him to a contract immediately. CWE officials seem to be very high on Shulo, and have taken a step outward in giving him this huge opportunity. Will the Megastar prove why he is the Megastar, or will Logan pick up his first victory in a CWE ring?
BATTLE ROYAL : FUTURE TITLE SHOT AT STAKE!
CWE fans know that At A Year Later, a battle royal was created, with the winner becoming the new CWE Undisputed Champion. Johnny Gargano fought long and hard that night, and last eliminated Patrick Hayes to win the gold. Happy with the response of the first battle royal, CWE management determined they would make this a yearly institution, and decided it would be held every February. While the amount of competitors has yet to be determined, the field thus far includes 20 competitors. They are [in no particular order]:
1. Patrick Hayes
2. Marion Fontaine
3. Ashton Amherst
4. Fa?ade
5. Flea
6. Axel
7. Sean Dahmer
8. Apollyon
9. Logan Shulo
10. Ryan Mitchell
11. Scott Prodigy
12. Moondog Scrap
13. The Bouncer
14. Tuff Tina
15. Hobo Joe
16. JC Slick
17. Raymond Rowe
18. Kevin Bradway
19. Ryan Burke
20. Gregory Iron
More may be added in the future, but even looking at that list of competition makes one wonder what direction the match will go in. Will Hayes use his undoubted anger to propel himself to victory? Will Fontaine be able to go all the way? Can Ashton prove that he is that good? Can the LA Gunz, Straight Jacket Mafia or Bad to the Bone put aside partnerships to be the last man left standing? Will Logan make his second appearance a dramatic one? Can Ryan Mitchell use all his credentials to win? Can The Bouncer use his experience to guide him? Will Tina prove that she is better than all the men? Can Hobo Joe live a real life rags to riches story? Can JC Slick overcome his underdog stature? Can Raymond Rowe suplex his way to the top? Will Kevin Bradway prove he is the toughest man in the CWE? Can Ryan Burke prove that heart can lead you to victory? Will Gregory Iron prevail in face of adversity?

IWC A New Beginning Wooo Results featuring “Nature Boy” Ric Flair
by Joe Dombrowski
www.iwcwrestling.com
IWC: A New Beginning Woooooo!
A record crowd flocked to the Court Time Sports Center to pay tribute to an incomparable legend and to see IWC’s finest bring in the future with the first IWC live event of 2009
After greeting hundreds upon hundreds of his fans for nearly three hours, the guest of honor, 16 time World Heavyweight Champion ?Nature Boy? Ric Flair hit the ring to address his fans. After some complimentary words for the Pittsburgh Steelers and a mysterious female driver named ?Tina?, Flair showed his respect and appreciation to not only the fans, but also the entire roster, praising their constant hard work. Ric Flair was truly all class and seemed to enjoy his return to Pittsburgh. After a classy, glowing endorsement for professional wrestling’s next generation, Flair’s legacy only continues to grow proving now more than ever that diamonds are forever? and so is Ric Flair.
From a legendary performer to a legendary beating, The Hollywood Balds survived, not a wrestling match, but a mugging, to defeat Mickey & Marshall Gambino. The brothers Gambino took Vendetta out early, seemingly breaking his back, and focusing all of their anger onto their cousin Jimmy DeMarco. DeMarco literally fought for his life, as The Gambinos refused to attempts pins, instead focusing on attempting to maim their own family member. Yet after three broken tables, four steel chairs, a ladder, and six badly injured bodies, Vendetta & DeMarco were miraculously left standing, leaving Dr. DeeeLicious with some choice words for promoter Norm Connors.
Connors claimed last month he ?groomed? Ray Rowe for the IWC Championship. Well, tonight, on arguably his biggest night as a promoter in his 15 year career, Connors literally gave Rowe the championship in his match with reigning titleholder Shiima Xion. After both referees had been knocked out, it seemed Norm was prepared to take charge himself. However, shockingly he attacked Shiima with the ring bell hammer, and claimed Shiima and DeMarco NEVER deserved to be competing in the finals of the IWC Championship and that it was supposed to be Ray Rowe. Rowe is the champion, but certainly not in a way he should be proud of, as on both he and Norm’s respective biggest nights, they each tarnish their reputations.
Despite over 200 fan requests for stipulation suggestions in the Dennis Gregory vs. John McChesney match, Gregory flat our refused to agree to ANY of them, instead demanding that he meet The Fabulous One one-on-one in a straight wrestling match. McChesney obliged, however in a show of hypocrisy, Gregory then in turn attempted to get his hands on any possible weapon he can find. Gregory ended up stealing a victory, but his actions in refusing to adhere to any stipulations prove what we?ve all thought? Dennis Gregory realizes John McChesney may be the only man in IWC good enough to beat him. This issue is far from over, as McChesney continues to attempt to prove the follower was always better than the leader.
New IWC Tag Team Champions were crowned as Irish Airborne defeated Sexual Harassment. Airborne were about to be the victims of a referee oversight for the second month in a row, as once again one of the brothers Crist had their feet in the ropes to break a pin. Once the referee was alerted, and the match restarted. Airborne used a cheap roll up with a pull of the tights. Airborne were almost cheated by one referee oversight, but weren?t afraid to use another to further their own personal gain.
Sweet & Sour Larry Sweeney hit the ring to boast about his accomplishments, including two Super Indy Title reigns, and demanded a Super Indy Qualifying Match right there and then. As luck would have it, a surprise was scheduled for the show and it was one Sweeney will never forget? former TNA X Division Champion ?Fallen Angel? Christopher Daniels. Not only did Daniels compete, but he emerged victorious over Sweeney with the BME – Best Moonsault Ever – apparently qualifying for Super Indy VIII this spring, and further driving a wrench in the plans of the man from Texarkana.
Current Super Indy Champion Delirious & personal interpreter Daizee Haze found themselves on the losing end in a mixed tag match-up against top Super Indy contender ?New Horror? Sami Callihan and his partner, former WCW Cruiserweight Champion and ?Scream Queen? Daffney. Rather than pin the champion, Callihan took the short route, sneaking up behind Daizee and suplexing her on the head before pinning her. Sami scored a big-time win but effectively made his score with Delirious personal.
A rematch of sorts from one-year ago as, only for the second time, IWC hosted a chaotic ten-man tag. Super Hentai performed in superhuman Herculean-like fashion, including moonsaulting off of a 15-foot balcony, in an attempt to lead teammates Michael ?The Bomber? Fa?ade, Logan Shulo, Jason Gory, and Dean Radford to victory. However, Jimmy Vega$ was able to avenge his pinfall loss of the prior ten-man and roll up the man who rolled up him a year ago, a gutsy yet hurt and fatigued Super Hentai in order to lead his team of Shane Taylor, Sebastian Dark, Kato, and CJ Sensation to victory, thus ensuring the re-hiring of the controversial Sensation.
In addition, four young men from North Carolina competed in a special attraction tag encounter. ?Asian Sensation? Mike Lee & Charlie Dreamer emerged victorious over Caleb Konley & ?Manscout? Jake Manning in a contest that admirably showcased four future stars merely beginning the long journey of their careers.
