12/02 ACE STEEL Dibiase, Rory Fox,Ladder Royale!!

Review of my day on Saturday..

I left New Hampton early afternoon after attending my father-in-law's birthday celebration. We went up on Friday and had a great time. It was actually really tough to leave there because everyone up there is so fun to be around.

When I finally arrived in the land of cell towers I checked my messages. It was then I found out that Ace Steel and Mike Dibiase stranded in Central Missourie by 13 plus inches of snow. It didn't change the original show much at all. The 2nd Coming ended up facing the Star Bangled Bad A$$e$ instead of the Dibiases. I was bummed though because This is 3rd time I have had Ace booked in 5 years and it has never quite worked out. The last time was my fault though so maybe this was the weather's way of making us even. Plus both Mike and Teddy are just great to have around the locker room.

I get to Delta and find that Terry Garret has already set the entrance area and has all the chairs placed. Plus he sold tickets. He was a lifesaver on Saturday and I hope he realizes how much I appreciate his hard work.

Soon the ring got there with a full crew of guys flying high in the Tahoe. David, Ian, Bionic Ing, AL K Hall, and TS. That made for quite the load that of guys and a memorable trip for Ing. Taking out a bunch of cones due to the guy that was "paying attention to himself" was classic.

I took off with Steve to Sigourney to grab some things and talk over the show a bit. We came back and we unloaded my car and started getting everything prepped up. Destiny and I had a heated argument about who should get more of my attention him or the cheese. The cheese won out and there is even talk about putting a title on the nacho cheese down the road. It could happen.

My mom and dad arrived to lend their moral support. That and to take tickets, bring soda, help with concessions, and oh yeah, that moral support thing.

The show started a little after 6PM. There was a lot of late arrivals so the crowd was only about 3/4 what it eventually became at bell time.

Steve Shettler came out and made the announcement that due to all the recent controversy revolving around the tag team title situation, that he reluctantly had to make the decision to have the titles held up. The titles will be held up until January 27th when IPW returns to Delta with a one-night tournament to decide the new champs.

The first match was Latin Thunder vs TS Aggressor. During the early part of the match the 2nd rope of the ring broke. TS and Latin Thunder were already headed to the outside and the 2nd rope just snapped. While the fight spilled to the outside the bottom rope was moved to the middle bcoming the new bottom tha is normally the middle... got that? Anyway late the broken rope was fixed and put back in it's rightful place.. the bottom. The crowd was was way into this match and TS Aggressor picked up a big victory. Based on the stipualation that has become a yearly tradition in the first match of the evening, TS entered the Ladder Royale last and Latin Thunder entered first.

Winner TS Aggressor by pinfall


The 2nd match was Johny Fitness, wrestling in his frist match in Delta since dropping the IPW title, against Mr. Destiny. Mr. Destiny expressed his anger towards Steve Shettler about having to drop the titles based on a management decision. Steve was smart to not encite th big man any further. It is at this point that I have to say that I didn't watch too many matches all the way through. I was running around a lot of the time and would catch small parts. The crowd stayed hot for this match and both wrestlers were intense throughout. The end came when Destiny shoved Billy J multiple times due to his frustration with not being able to put Fitness away. Billy J eventually had enough and called for the DQ

Winner-Johny Fitness by DQ

Next up was the tag match between 2nd Coming and The Star Spangled Bad A$$E$. This could quite possibly be a preview of a match we will see next month in the tournament. The crowd was solidly behind SSBA. They were also solidly behind hating 2nd Coming. 2nd Coming came out victorious with the use of some underhanded tactics.

Winners 2nd Coming

Intermission

Matty Star defended his IPW heavyweight title against Rory Fox. This match had the crowd on the edge of their seats the whole time. I was in the back during a lot of this, but I heard later that the match was very srong.

Winner- Matty Star

The ladder Royal had WAY too many things going on for me to follow closely enough. That might have to be a job for someone else.
Supa Cito Kid lasted close to 20 minutes against all odds.
FOUR tables were destroyed during the making of this match.
Underdogg in front of a large group of supporters fought well against Vin Cross and Cordova, but was overcome by the large heel contingincey in the ring at the time.
Ian Wellington looked good, but suffered a similar fate as Underdogg.
Havyk and Max Force both carried their own tables to the ring.
Freak took a HUGE bump through a table on the outside. That was something.
Frosty and Billy J kept a close eye on the action which was no easy feat.
Montoya X tackled Cito with such force that the entire crowd let out a loud gasp.
There were a million other memorable moments, but I am nearing nap time.

The end came when Johny Fitness and TS Aggressor were both on top of the ladder and it tipped over. Fitness landed akward on his ankle and was hurt in the corner. This opened the window for AJ Smooth to climbe the ladder and when the #1 contender's match against Matty Star on January 27th. Afterwards Matty Star came out to congratulate Smooth. Smooth blew him off and then Destiny and TS came in to join in the two competitors. They wished Star luck and then turned and beat him down!!!! The crowd instantly became outraged. A hobbled Johny Fitness came over to check on the situation and was also attacked by TS and Destiny!! They worked over his already injured leg and required help to the back. Steve Shettler tried to regain control of the ring.. BIG MISTAKE!! Destiny and TS told Steve that nobody takes away their belts. They then put SHETTLER THROUGH A TABLE. The fans went bezerk at this point and chaos ensued. Staci Shettler came to ringside to check on her husband and got into a shouting match with TS. With Shettler unconcious on a broken table, TS and Destiny went back to work on Matty Star. AJ smooth came over to seemingly help out the over-matched Star, but then joined in on the action after a hug with Destiny and TS!!! It wasn't until many of the IPW superstars came down out of the locker room did TS, Destiny, and Smooth leave the ring. TS then got on the mic and announced the rebirth of the most devastating group in the history if IPW, The INHUMANE SOCIETY!!! There was a chorus of boos and insults as the crowd continued to jaw with AJ, TS, and Destiny. The show ended with me getting on the mic and apologizing for the actions of the Inhumane Society and wishing everyone safe travel home.

It was one of the more entertaining shows that we have done this year. The crowd was alive with emotion and that was great to see. I want to echo my thanks from my earlier post!! That was a great night...
