Back Story:

 

The WWE decides to cut some of the wrestlers on the roster whom they don’t have anything creatively for. Dustin Rhodes, Lance Storm, Chris Kanyon, Ultimo Dragon, Rob Van Dam, Tommy Dreamer, Sean O’Haire, and Hurricane were all released by the end of February.

 

Many of the wrestling insiders began predicting where we might be seeing these talented individuals. Ultimo Dragon was assumed to be heading back to Japan after his unsuccessful showing with the WWE. Rob Van Dam most likely heading away from the spot light to his comic store. Tommy Dreamer was probably going to head to Ring of Honor and help the federation grow.

 

What was speculated never occurred though. The only clue was Lance Storm’s website giving the story of “I’m currently have my schedule full for at least the next two years. As to what, you’ll just have to wait and see on March 6th, 2004.”

 

With that cryptic response came light of a new federation. This federation was lead by Jacob Lieberman, and they apparently had a show on DirectTV called “Rage” on March 6th, 2004. And so the wrestling world became a flutter with the wonderful news that this new wrestling federation, International Wrestling Association, was in town.

Side Note: This is not a replacement of my Ultimate Championship Wrestling Federation (UCW). This is just another one I'm doing up because I felt like it. Hence the title "More Fun~!" This diary is just for fun, probably won't be as wonderful as my other one, but you should be able to enjoy it.

 

This Cult federation of 80 PI and 2 million dollars, has a TV show on Saturdays, Late Evening. That about covers it. Actually I did this up last night, so it hasn't effected my other diary in the slightest. And won't effect my other diary period. Just think of this as something a little extra inbetween my other diary.

(Side Note: Cruz’s new gimmick got a positive result which always good. So our first quarter final match up will pit Rob Van Dam against Hurricane. Should be an interesting match up, that’s for sure.)

 

 

A video is played. Sean O’Haire comes out and talks about how everyone sins anew every day and it doesn’t bother them at all. But it’s not like this video is telling you anything you didn’t already know.

Overall: 69

~ Chance Beckett and Rob Van Dam worked very well together because of their similar styles.

 

~ The Briscoes are a hell of a tag team because their skills are so alike.

 

Lance Storm:

~ I’d like to work at some point with Hurricane if that’s possible.

[Guest The Last Free Voice]

looks interesting. Juggleing two may be hard tho. I'm having trouble with one. Which is updated, btw... I lookforward to teh next show...

[Guest Real F'n Show]

man you are going to be so busy with these, but that's for you to worry about

I'm loving it so far

[Lightning Flik 0]

Took me till my second show to realize that I had totally forgotten to change from CZW to Dames. I'm such an idiot.

 

Oh well. Shall be GOODNESS~! soon. At least I hope to bring some to this diary.

 

And yah, keeping these two diaries are "tough"... As tough as I write one up, then follow it up with a slab of the other. It tastes funny though, I gotta admit, as I've got to remember that with IWA, I've got superstars who like are somebodies.

 

Whereas UCW is like nobodies I'm rafting up.
