[LucharesuFan619 0]

IPW Hardcore and NWA Florida Wrestling came together at the Florida WrestlePlex on a rainy Saturday August 2, 2003 to host “Total Domination.” There were many surprises during the show, many that helped shape the card for IPW’s 5th anniversary show: Reign in Blood II, which will be held on Saturday August 16, 2003 in the Pinellas Expo Hall. On to the results from a hard hitting show:

 

Fritz brought his client referee Billy the Kid to the ring to officiate a cruiserweight contender’s match between Sedrick Strong and “Mr. 630” Jerrelle Clark. Both men had control of the contest but neither could get the pin. Clark hit a 420 splash but Strongs legs were in the ropes as Clark went for the pin. Sedrick came back with a spear to Clark’s body but could only get a two count, but he caught Clark with the “Muscle Buster” for the win. Both competitors shook hands after the hard fought contest.

 

A rematch from “Collateral Damage” saw the Midnight Freebirds (Havoc & Naphtali) take on Pat Powers & Pat McGroin of Double Deuce Inc. (with Uptown Frankie Capone & Cannon.) Due to their actions in the previous contest, referee Richie Rich ordered Capone and Cannon banned from ringside. Havoc and Naphtali took it to Powers early on. They had control until Naphtali went for an Irish whip and he met McGroin’s knee which landed in his back.

 

Naphtali repaid McGroin by getting him in a “Tarantula.” Powers broke it up and then he and McGroin assaulted Naphtali for several minutes, but they couldn’t finish the self-proclaimed heel off. Havoc got back in the match and helped Naphtali wear down the Pats. Victory looked to be with the Midnight Freebirds as Naphtali rolled up McGroin but Powers had Havoc’s shoulders on the mat at the same time. Referee Richie Rich counted both pins and declared the bout a draw.

 

A table was set up in the ring as fans witnessed the signing of a contract for an August 16th match between Mikey Tenderfoot and his hated rival Rod Steel of the Alliance of Defiance, who came to the ring with the new Florida Unified Heavyweight champion, Scoot Andrews. Before Tenderfoot made his way to the ring, Andrews told the crowd his title match later in the evening with Lex Lovett would only be for the IPW World title.

 

"Hot Ass” Amy Love came to the ring with a USPS box addressed to the AOD c/o the Florida WrestlePlex. Inside it was a knee brace, could it be from…..? Tenderfoot made his way to the ring and the overanxious Steel singed the contract and insulted Tenderfoot. Mikey got the microphone and told the crowd and Steel that he didn’t read the fine print and he had signed a contract to face Tenderfoot in an “I QUIT MATCH!!!”

 

Mikey tried to have a match tonight but Andrews tossed powder in Tenderfoot’s eyes, blinding him long enough for Steel to put Tenderfoot through the table with a “Sky High.” Lex Lovett came out with a chair, running off the AOD from doing further damage to the fallen Tenderfoot. Lovett told Andrews he didn’t send the knee brace and he didn’t care about which title was on the line, he was coming for Andrews.

 

Next on the show was a three way dance between Pretty Fly (with Bolles Azoles & Austintacious), Hotshot (w /Ipuna) and Chasyn Rance (with Mister Saint Laurent). Even referee Billy the Kid had someone at the crowed ringside, his manager Fritz. Hotshot and Fly used their size to try and wear down the quicker Rance. Rance fought back and almost had victory by hitting Fly with a springboard elbow, but only got a 2 count. Hotshot was taken out of the match as he got into a fight with Azoles. This left Fly to get the victory by pinning Rance who was rolled up as he went to hit Fly with a “Dudley Dog.”

 

Next was a rematch of sorts from “Collateral Damage” as “Suicidal Tendencies” Sean Allen (with Dennis Allen) took on the vastly popular Navy Seal. Sean and Dennis used every dirty trick they knew but could get Seal’s shoulders to the mat for the three count. Seal fought back and had victory in hand until Dennis entered the ring and the Allen’s went for a double team clothesline, but Seal countered with a clothesline of his own. Seal scored the win with a modified “Razor’s Edge.”

 

IPW Hardcore champion Mideon made his return to the WrestlePlex to defend against the #1 contender, Chaos. Mideon used Chaos’ own blade to cut the challenger’s forehead open. He then used a chain to open the wound up and tried to cut off his air by choking him out. Chaos fought back with several shots to the groin, then used his wrist tape to try and choke the champion out but could only get a 2 count.

 

Mideon fought back with several right handed fists and headbutts, but he missed a second rope splash. Chaos hit a DDT which brought the hardcore beast, Kubiak out to fight his hated rival. An attempted double team backfired and Chaos scored a pin over Mideon to become the New IPW Hardcore champion.

 

Kubiak was not done as he joined Mideon in double teaming Chaos. This brought out the returning NEW JACK! During the brawl, Kubiak and New Jack broke the TOP ROPE OF THE RING!!! New Jack got the microphone and asked Chaos to team with him to take on Mideon and Kubiak at the August 16th anniversary show. New Jack told the crowd he had become a resident of Tampa or "What You White People Call a Floridian" and to notify the local police departments that he was in town. The IPW staff quickly repaired the ring and the rest of the show went on without a bottom rope.

 

AOD member Agent Steele came to the ring with Scoot Andrews but minus the lovely Sexretary Tiffany. Steele told the fans that Tiffany was not in the building as she was occupied with “domestic duties.” He also told he crowd that his scheduled opponent JR Ryder or as Steele called him “JR Rider from North Carolina basketball fame” was not in the building either due to a shoulder injury.

 

Steele decided to host the “Agent Steele Rookie Challenge.” This brought out a very large masked man whose body tattoos made him look an awful lot like….nevermind. The masked man and Steele took it to each other throughout the match. The masked man hit Steele with the “Malicious Intent,” the finisher of….nevermind. This brought Rod Steel and Roderick Strong to the ring to help beat down the masked man. Lex Lovett came to the ring with a folding chair to save the masked man from certain doom.

 

“Uptown” Frankie Capone and the rest of Double Deuce Inc. came to the ring to take on fan favorite Comic Book Guy Anderson, who came with Lennox, Pretty Fly, “the Godfather” Mark Zout and “the Great Zoubolski” Job Zout. Both groups tried to help their man out during the contest. CBGA had things under control until an attempted corner shoulder tackle of Capone turned into a shoulder tackle of the ringpost.

 

Capone immediately went to work on the injured left shoulder. CBGA was able to get his second wind back but it was shut down by the “Markfather” who in trying to help CBGA get the win, cost him the win by kicking him in the face instead of Capone, who then rolled up the knocked out CBGA for the win. CBGA and Zout had to be separated by their fellow comrades after the match.

 

“The Rat Magnet” David Babylon came to the ring to take on the new IPW Television champion “the Modern Miracle” Steve Madison with his never at a loss for words manager “the Hardcore Giant” Ron Niemi. Niemi thanked the crowd for braving the weather and coming to the Plex and show why IPW is the King of the Florida Indies. He then guaranteed Madison would walk out of the ring with the TV title. Both men traded chops and forearms trying to gain an advantage. Babylon got control for a few moments with high flying moves but couldn’t secure the three count. Madison fired back with a sick Axe Bomber, a back breaker and brainbuster to the get the victory and retain the IPW TV title.

 

The former Florida Unified Cruiserweight champion Justice came to the ring to challenge the new champion, Roderick Strong. Strong came to the ring with new ring attire and a new mean streak. He dipped into has bag of backbreakers early by hitting Justice with a half-nelson backbreaker. Justice came back with a tornado DDT but Strong countered with two backbreakers and a straight jacket camel clutch. Justice came back with several martial arts kicks and punches to the champion’s body but Strong snuck in a flipping Canadian backbreaker. Strong was able to hold onto the titles by hitting Justice with the C-X.

 

The NWA Florida/IPW world tag team title war continued in the form of a six man match between the Vandalz (Johnny, Rick & Tommy) and the Shane Brothers and the “Hardcore Giant” Ron Niemi. Niemi played hit and run throughout the entire match.

 

The six man bout was turned in to a 3 on 2 match as the Shane’s turned Johnny into a lawn dart by Press Slamming him onto the rampway. While Johnny was taken to the back for medical assistance, the Shane’s then attempted to injure Tommy. Tommy survived several near pins and was able to tag Ricky in, who took his anger out on all three members of 911 Inc.

 

This was stopped as the Shane’s hit Ricky and Tommy with a double team chokeslam. Johnny re-emerged from the locker room with a great size reducer, a folding chair. He tagged Mike and Todd in the back and saved the worst blow for Niemi who was hit in the back of the head, knocking him out. This allowed Johnny to pin Niemi and get the win for the Vandalz. Ron Niemi’s evening ended in a trip to the St. Pete General emergency room for 11 staples to close a large wound on the back of the head.

 

The evening’s main event saw the New IPW World champion Scoot Andrews (with Agent Steele) defend against the man who felt he was robbed at “Collateral Damage,” Lex Lovett. Both men used their technical skills to try and get control of the bout. Lovett got control by attacking Andrews’ left arm, but Andrews got control back with a sit-out powerbomb. Steele took some free shots at Lovett as Andrews distracted referee Richie Rich.

 

Andrews hit a leg lariat but only got a two count. Lovett countered an Irish whip and slid into an armbar submission, which Andrews did not submit to. An attempted top rope head scissor by Lovett was countered by Andrews into an “Alabama Slam.” Lovett recovered to slap on a crossface submission but didn’t get Andrews to tap as Andrews held his arm up before the third fall. Andrews got to his feet and hit a second sit-out powerbomb for a two count. Andrews again tossed Lovett to the outside so Steele could do more damage.

 

Andrews countered an attempted armbar by Lovett into a double arm second rope slam for a two count. Lovett caught Andrews off guard and hit the champion with a rolling neckbreaker, which also did damage to the already injured left arm. Lovett reapplied the armbar, which made Andrews TAP OUT!!!! Lex Lovett wins the IPW World title!!! His celebration was cut short by Agent Steele, who blindsided Lovett. This brought out the mysterious masked man with a folding chair.

 

The masked man hit Steele with the chair and then turned his attention the injured Andrews. The masked man removed his mask to reveal he was ANTONIO BANKS!!!! Banks repaid Andrews for injuring his knee three months ago by attacking Andrews’ arm with a severe chairshot, which made Andrews scream out in anguish and pain. Banks then handed the IPW World title belt to the new champion LEX LOVETT!!! Andrews left the WrestlePlex still the NWA Florida champion but also with a large ice bag on his injured left forearm.
