IWS - "Scarred for Life 2003" Thoughts

[Guest gangsteruwa]

I posted almost this exact thing on a different message board, but thought I'd share with everyone here. The group is called IWS (Internet Wrestling Syndicate). They are based out of Laval, QC, and you can get more info at http://www.syndicatewrestling.com/ They should have a detailed recap up within the next few days.

 

This isn't a bunch of results, just my thoughts on my first live IWS show.

 

First thing I noticed was the production value. It's quite amazing to go from a fed that has all the lights on, a cheap sound system, no lighting effects, no screens, no anything...to seeing an IWS show. It's so professional looking it's unbelievable.

 

Every single match on the show was very good. The only fuck up I noticed was when one of the guys from Extreme Evolution (I haven't seen them before this match, so I didn't know who was who) tried to hit Beef Wellington on the head with a vase, but it didn't break at first. It was still really sick, and they eventually went back and broke it, which was also very sick. So it wasn't even a moderately bad fuck up.

 

Random thoughts:

Kurt Laudardale, while comedic looking (he reminds me of baby huey), is actually quite impressive, and I enjoyed his handicap match against Darren Knife and Jeff Jonhson (I think).

Some English speaking Canadians hate the French Canadians.

El Generico is the shit. OLE!!!

Hi-5 are great heels.

Damian and Viking (The Syndicate de lutte d'internet) vs. The Flying Hurricanes was really good. I couldn't tell you if it was as good as their match at Blood, Sweat and Beers, but it was amazing.

The promos by The Syndicate de lutte d'internet (a.k.a. Angry Aryans), Fred La Merveille (a.k.a. Wonderfred), and Latino Mysterio (a.k.a. Little dude in a mask ) had the greatest promos that I didn't understand in the history of wrestling.

The Nightmare Tag Partners match was a great match. Lots of sick spots and very good wrestling.

My first time seeing Barbed Wire and Light tubes live made me go . Evil Ninja's back was torn to shreds.

Dru Onyx is very good, especially considering how big he is.

My friends + Alcohol + Evil Ninja = Magic Ninja

Canadians are very nice...even to stupid Americans like me.

 

Overall an excellent night of wrestling. I highly suggest anyone in the area (or outside for that matter) that hasn't already gone, go see them.

*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*

 

Even Darkest Evil Can’t Vanquish Onyx

 

Onyx fought off three men in front of a capacity crowd at Le Skratch in Chomedey, Laval, to successfully defend his IWS Heavyweight title last night. In theory, Onyx was only supposed to face Evil Ninja in the main event. In practice, the IWS heavyweight champion was forced to confront the combined forces of the so-called “Fan Favourites”: Arsenal, Evil Ninja and TV’s Iron Mike Patterson.

 

In the opening bout, Darren Knife and Jeff Johnson resumed the match that they had begun at Freedom to Fight, only to be interrupted by the Career Killer Kurt Lauderdale. Kurt dominated and was poised to win the three way match when Hi-5 got into a ringside scuffle with Elsa Bangz and accidentally distracted the referee from his three count. Darren Knife and Jeff Johnson took advantage to combine forces for a quick roll up and pin of Kurt Lauderdale at 4:56.

 

The scheduled match between Los Latinos and le Syndicat de Lutte Internet was threatened when Latino Kid was stopped at the border. Viking Villeneuve and Damian DuBois graciously offered to postpone the match until the next show, Hardcore Heat, July 12th. When Latino Mysterio agreed, Viking and Damian attacked, destroying him with Le Tueur des Policiers. Afterwards, they issued an open challenge that was answered by the Flying Hurricanes. In a hard-hitting match-up, Takao face planted his own partner with the Unpredictable Motion on top of Damian and Viking for the pin after 7:00 of action. But the leader of the SLI, Fred le Merveille came to the ring and protested that since Viking and Damian did not understand the English count of One, Two, Three, the pin was illegal in Quebec. A flash roll-up and quick count of “Un, Deux, Trois,” gave the victory to le Syndicat de Lutte Internet.

 

Fred le Merveille announced that he had used his influence with the front office to book him in a match with a man who spoke neither English nor French: the Tijuana native El Generico. The Latin Luchador showed an impressive array of offensive moves brutally battering Fred both inside and outside of the ring. After a brain buster and a 450 splash, El Generico was poised for the victory, but Damian and Viking pulled the referee out of the ring. Fred quickly rebounded to win the match with his “101” swinging Pedigree at 15:28.

 

The IWS tag team champions, Hi-5, defended their titles against the most hard core tag team in Canada: from CCW in Quebec City, Xtreme Revolution. Despite protests by Beef Wellington and Kid Kamikaze that they weren’t hard core wrestlers, the challengers Nightmare Manson and Crazy Crusher brought barbed wire boards to the ring. The brutal match that followed left all four men bleeding and saw Beef Wellington sacrifice his beloved Titanic poster when he stapled it to Nightmare Manson’s face. Despite being blinded by the poster, Nightmare Manson was able to combine with Crazy Crusher to hit the Revolutionizer, their devastating double team vertaebreaker. When Crazy Crusher pinned Kid Kamikaze, however, Beef Wellington blind sided the referee and tricked Crusher by loudly counting the pin himself. As Crusher mistakenly raised his hands in triumph, Beef ambushed him with his E. Coli straight jacket pile driver for the win at 13:00.

 

Earlier in the night, Commissioner Joseph FitzMorris announced that Arsenal’s spot as number one contender would be up for grabs in the Nightmare Tag Partners match that pitted the team of the Green Phantom and EXcesS69 against Arsenal and the Triple X Sex Exxxpress, Sexxxy Eddy. With a title shot on the line, the tag match quickly became a free for all. The desperate battle demonstrated just how badly each man wanted a shot at Onyx’s title. In the end, confusion reigned as Green Phantom pinned Eddy with a top rope Phantasm while EXcesS69 simultaneously pinned Arsenal after 18:08. As senior IWS official P-Nut argued with rookie referee Mop, Arsenal declared that the controversy left him still as the Number One Contender.

 

In the main event, Onyx fought off a sword waving Iron Mike Patterson, a dagger wielding Evil Ninja and a chair swinging Arsenal to defend his heavyweight title. After suplexing TV’s Iron Mike Patterson and spearing Arsenal, Onyx finished off the Evil Ninja with a Sidewalk Slam into a board of light tubes at 15:14. After his victory, CFL prospect Adrien Kellman from the University of Manitoba and Nubis recording artist Kez from Boston joined Onyx in the ring to celebrate his victory.

 

The next IWS show is Hardcore Heat, scheduled for July 12th, at Le Skratch, 965 Cure Labelle, Chomedey, Laval, Québec. Tickets are twelve dollars at the door.

IWS is an extremely good product, probably the best unknown promotion in NA. If certain things pan out, you'll see a LOT more IWS coverage on TSM.
