IZW Show Report for 10/03/09

Posted: Oct 8th 2009 By: CMBurnham

After an unforgettable September Slam on September 19th, IZW has kept the surprises coming. In the wake of their brutal Three Stages of Impact match, tag team champions BLK-OUT came to the ring to discuss what they would be doing next. A tournament to determine new number one contenders for the tag team titles started the week prior with Nemesis defeating the Sanders to advance to the semi-finals. BLK-OUT would be facing the winners of the tournament, but they were then joined by Revolution as they spoke. However, Sensational Seth Allen and the Great Dane Griffin only wanted to show their respect to BLK-OUT for being, in their words, the best team they?ve ever faced. Revolution extended their hands and after some thought, Jermaine Johnson said that their words seemed true and shook Revolution?s hands.

But this was disrupted by Impact Division champion Randy Price and Austin Tacious. Price told the two teams that this business isn?t about respect, it?s about the money and his new partner understood that. Allen replied by saying, ?This business isn?t about the money, it?s about the passion.? Price and Tacious wanted in the tag tournament and challenged Revolution, who accepted. The match started with Revolution attacking both men and throwing them to the outside. But when Allen turned around, he walked into a superkick from Griffin. Price then took advantage and got the pin. Allen was left alone in the ring. When he got up, understanding he had just turned on, he rushed to the back after Griffin. A video was shown of Price and Tacious running into BLK-OUT backstage. Price said ?this tagging thing? was simple and challenged BLK-OUT to a title match later that night. BLK-OUT had no problem accepting. ?Arrogant Money? appeared strong for a new pairing, giving it their all against the champions. But while the referee was distracted, Price hit Johnson in the head with his Impact Division title. Tacious then hit him with the Seed of Perfection for the win. The crowd was left speechless as Arrogant Money were crowned the new IZW tag team champions. Where does this leave BLK-OUT and what will happen with the tag tournament?

Later, Johnny Z came to the ring, saying he wanted answers from former partner Johnny Z about the knife in his back. Bernie came out wearing an ?Impact Inc Sucks? shirt. Bernie said that there was a knife is his own back first. He said that a few weeks earlier, Johnny had put his hands on him when he slapped him, taking his dignity, and no one does that. He had wanted revenge, but knew he had to be patient, finally making his move at September Slam. Johnny wasn?t only angry about the betrayal, but also about not winning the IZW title from Aaron Neil. Bernie challenged him to a match at Halloween Hangover on November 7th. Johnny thought about this and said that he did want to hurt Bernie, to end his career?but why wait? In a move that stunned everyone, he fired Bernie D. Johnny ordered security to remove him from the building. But after he was dragged up the ramp, fighting all the way, Johnny said that he wanted him taken out the front door. Bernie was enraged, but was then taken out the front. Is Bernie gone for good? Will a match between him and Johnny Z ever happen?

After Dane Griffin turned on his Revolution partner Seth Allen, a video was shown of Allen relentlessly attacking Griffin backstage. It took the whole locker room to pull them apart. Dane turned on Seth for quitting in the ?I Quit? match at September Slam, even though he did it to protect Griffin. The two wanted a match, with the loser having to leave for good. Steve O made the main event official ? Allen versus Griffin in a ?Loser Leaves IZW? match. After tagging together in numerous states, both wrestlers went full-tilt to put on a hard-hitting, memorable contest. But the referee was knocked down at one point. Allen then hit his flatliner, but the referee could not count the pin. Then bad Brad Michaels came to the ring and gave Allen a superkick of his own. Griffin then hit the K-9 to seal the victory.

Michaels grabbed a microphone, telling Allen that he quit on him when the two of them were the Old School Assassins seven years ago, and he quit on Griffin at Setpember Slam. He said that though he managed the Wrecking Ball Shane Rawls, he had room for the ?future Hall of Famer? Dane Griffin. He finished by declaring, ?The Revolution is dead, welcome the Revolutionary Dane Griffin.? After Michaels and Griffin left, the locker room emptied in support of Allen. They gave him a final farewell, lifting him on their shoulders while a ?Thank you Seth? chant rang loudly from the crowd. Sensational Seth Allen will be missed in IZW. With new tag team champions, Bernie D getting fired, and the loss of Allen all in one night, you can never tell what to expect from IZW on any given Saturday.
