IZW Show Report For 9-5-09
Posted: Sep 10th 2009 By: CMBurnham
After a wild brawl between BLK-OUT and Revolution the week before, Commissioner Steve O was unhappy with both teams. A video was shown to start the night featuring a meeting between the teams arranged by Steve O himself. He brought both teams to IZW sponsor Julio?s Mexican Restaurant where he explained that their behavior was unacceptable and had to stop. But it didn?t take long for all four wrestlers to attack each other again, fighting all over the restaurant. As a result of their recent actions, Steve O banned both teams from the building for the night.
With less than two weeks to go before September Slam, the guest announcer for the evening was set to be former Oklahoma Senator and IZW fan Sam Helton. But when Helton said he was glad to be able to give the fans a rest from Steve O?s mouth, the Commissioner tried to send him away. The Wrecking Ball Shane Rawls and Bad Brad Michaels came to the ring during the argument and were soon followed by the Awesome One Kevin Morgan. The Winner Blake Albright then came to the ring. Steve O announced a tag match where if Morgan won, Helton would be allowed to announce. If Rawls and Albright won, Helton would not only lose the chance to be the announcer, but he would be banned from IZW for life. Morgan introduced his partner, Ky-ote Joe. Morgan and Joe picked up the win, allowing Sam Helton the chance to be the guest announcer. With Morgan facing Rawls and Joe facing Albright at September Slam, each wrestler had his sights set on his future opponent.
Steve O was angered by what had happened and told the Heavyweight Champion Aaron Neil that he would be defending his belt that night. He had handpicked his opponent but he wouldn?t reveal who it was. All members of Impact, Inc. then came to the ring. Johnny Z said that Bernie had figured out how to win and then showed the video of what occurred at the end of the show two weeks ago. The video showed Bernie D coming to the ring with a chair during Johnny Z and Aaron Neil?s preview match. After looking at Aaron with chair in hand, he appeared to change his mind and targeted the prone Johnny instead. Bernie banged the chair on the mat and yelled for him to get up, but when Johnny stood and saw Bernie, Bernie turned around and struck Aaron in the head with the chair. Johnny then forced the referee to count the pin. He held the belt high as the video cut. Johnny told the crowd to etch that in their memories because it was a look into the future. He said he would take the belt from the paper champion and then allowed Bernie D to speak. Bernie revealed that in the video, he actually was planning to hit Johnny Z with the chair. But he then realized where his bread was buttered and he knew to fall in line. He said he is a winner, not a loser, and winners belonged to Impact Inc. Impact Inc said that they were going to ?re-boot? Bernie and give him a chance to avenge his first loss in his losing streak from weeks ago. Bernie D then said he would prove that he is a winner.
John O?Malley faced Brandon Groom in a match where if O?Malley won, the # 1 Contender?s match for the Impact Division Title between Austin Tacious and Groom at September Slam would be made into a Three Way Dance with O?Malley. Groom?s ribs were still taped up for this match. O?Malley was able to get the pin after striking Groom in the injured ribs with his brass knuckles, setting the Three Way. Austin Tacious then came to the ring to begin a double beatdown. But when he raised O?Malley?s hand, he got hit with the knuckles. In a later interview backstage, O?Malley took the microphone from Ryan Ragsdale and said that from now on, it?s about hurting people. It?s about the pain. The stage is set for an intriguing match at September Slam.
Bernie D came to the ring with Impact Inc to face the Gifted Eric Rose in a chance to avenge his prior loss. Johnny Z was able to assist Bernie with a Sky High to give him the win. Johnny Z then attacked Rose, but didn?t see Carnage come up behind him. Carnage went for the chokeslam but Johnny was able to run away. Bernie was successful in his first attempt at proving that he is a winner.
The main event featured the Real Deal Aaron Neil defending his title against Steve O?s handpicked opponent. Steve O said the man would hurt Neil, and revealed him to be a man by the name of Wage, who came to the ring with a chain. The match was a hard-fought struggle between the two. Wage looked strong but Neil was able to retain. Impact Inc then came out to attack Neil. Blake Albright held Neil while Johnny charged him with the belt. But Neil moved out of the way and Johnny struck Albright in the head. The Real Deal attacked Johnny, but he was able to run away for the second time in the night. Steve-O then foolishly jumped on Neil. Unexpectedly, guest announcer Sam Helton grabbed the Commissioner and threw him out of the ring. The Real Deal then grabbed a microphone and told Johnny that it didn?t matter what he did, ?Come September Slam, nothing will stop me from tearing you apart!? As September Slam nears, animosity is growing on all fronts.
