IZW Show Report For October 17

Posted: Oct 22nd 2009 By: CMBurnham

After Arrogant Money interfered in BLK-OUT?s tag title number one contender?s match with Nemesis last week, leading to new number one contenders in Nemesis, BLK-OUT started out the night by calling out Arrogant Money again. Jermaine Johnson and Montego Seeka were understandably frustrated and wanted their titles back. But Commissioner Steve O was the one to answer their call. Instead of giving BLK-OUT a chance at their titles, he told them they would have a match with Bad Brad Michaels? new group of the Wrecking Ball Shane Rawls and the Revolutionary Dane Griffin. Michaels? new group is a force to be reckoned with, but facing BLK-OUT is never an east task for any wrestlers. During the match, BLK-OUT hit a Tek-9 on Griffin. The referee then got involved with Seeka, telling him to leave the ring. While his back was turned, Rawls hit Johnson with his finisher and put Griffin on top of him for the win. After a tough month, where BLK-OUT heads from here is anyone?s guess.

New number one contenders Nemesis were to face each member of Arrogant Money in singles matches. Mr. Money Randy Price faced Crisstopher Crow in the first match, and Crow was able to pin Price with a quick roll up. Price wasn?t happy, but left saying that he still had his belts and that that is what matters. Later, Austin Tacious took on Rage Logan. After a series of impressive moves from each, the referee was knocked down, so Tacious grabbed his title belt and knocked Rage down. The referee got up to see both men down with the belt on the ground, and DQ?d Logan because he thought it was him who used the belt. Logan argued with the referee and so did Tacious, sticking with his story. They were joined by the other members of their teams and then broke into a fight. Nemesis was able to throw both men to the outside. The two teams will face off at Halloween Hangover for the tag team titles. Which team will leave with the belts?

In an interview backstage, the ?Hate Machine? John O?Malley said that he can?t decide what he likes more?winning titles or hurting people. He?s won every IZW title except the tag team titles but lately he has had no mercy for his opponents. Kevin Morgan came up to him and said that if he wants to hurt somebody, he can try hurting him. O?Malley accepted the challenge, slapped Morgan and left. The two big men faced off while the crowd looked on, anticipating the winner. But the Hate Machine pulled out brass knuckles and decked Morgan for the DQ. Will O?Malley continue his pattern of trying to hurt people?

The main event was the big steel cage match between Johnny Z and IZW champion Aaron Neil. The animosity between the two was palpable and it showed in their violent match. At one point, Neil threw Johnny at the cage, cutting Johnny?s back wide open. But Dane Griffin and Shane Rawls came to the ring to assist Johnny, breaking into the cage and beating Neil down. But Johnny told them he had it under control and had them leave and lock the door. But Neil gained the advantage back, which caused both men to come back in the ring and handcuff Neil to the cage for another beatdown. It was too much for the referee and he called for the bell.

Johnny Z got on the microphone and said that his plan to soften Neil up and make him lose his title started that night with the help of Griffin and Rawls. He announced that the match at Halloween hangover would pit the Wrecking Ball and Johnny Z in a handicap match against Neil. If either man pinned Neil, Rawls would win the title. BLK-OUT ran out to try to help the handcuffed Neil, but they were not able to get in the cage. Then Nemesis came out as well, and the four men were able to come in. Arrogant Money then came out and all the wrestlers went at it. But Arrogant Money started attacking them with their belts, leaving both teams laying out in the ring. The night ended with Johnny Z, Rawls, Griffin and Arrogant Money standing on the ramp with their hands raised. What will happen as Halloween Hangover draws closer?
