Johnny Z's feud with Tool & Donderwitz gets personal
Posted: May 13th 2008 By: mikeiles
IZW owner John Zorthos is a two-faced conniving weasel. When Zorthos refused to reinstate Mitch Carter to the IZW roster, it resulted in Carter getting into Johnny Z's personal life. On one instance, Carter allegedly broke into the Zorthos home and placed pictures of himself over the faces of the pictures in Johnny Z's home. Zorthos was outraged and demanded something be done. But now Zorthos has become the stalker of the people he is feuding with and using similar tactics.
Gary Tool was wrestling Impact, Inc. member Michael Barry at this past Saturday's IZW show. The match was back and forth for a while and then Tool was in the driver's seat. Then the ZorthoTron 420 powered up and there was Johnny Z sitting in the living room of Gary Tool's home. The front door opened and Tool's wife walked into the house and the video went off. Coach Tool left the ring and was counted out, giving the win to Michael Barry.
Later in the night as Bernie Donderwitz was wrestling IZW Heavyweight Champion Angel Williams, the lights went out and when they came back on, both Donderwitz and Williams were down on the mat while Zorthos and Barry attacked both men.
The fact that Zorthos complained about Mitch Carter breaking into his home while he had no proof of the break-in, then using the same tactics on Tool with video proof proves that he is a two faced weasel. As the title of this story states, the feud between Zorthos and his former Impact, Inc. mates has gotten personal. No one knows where it will end.
Other News & Notes from the IZW show:
The show began with IZW Commissioner Mike Iles talking about how IZW's fourth anniversary had just passed and how "Evolution" is going to be the biggest show of the year. He was interrupted by Kenny Campbell who claimed he was screwed out of the Impact Division Title and he demanded to know who his opponent was going to be in the upcoming Ladder Match for the vacant title. Iles stated that he never said Campbell was in the match, but being the wrestling historian he is, he knew Campbell was a multi-time Impact Division Champion, so he was in the match. He then introduced his opponent in the Ladder Match, Dustin Heritage. Campbell said he had already beaten Heritage "a dozen times". Iles then introduced opponent #2, Seth Allen. Campbell then complained that Iles was stacking the deck against him. Iles then introduced the final participant, Jermaine Johnson. Iles then said he wanted the 4 participants to get to know each other very well and put them in a tag match to start the show. In that match, Heritage & Johnson defeated Campbell & Allen.
Two weeks ago, Se7en and Tyson Jaymes were tag team partners against Nathan Sensation & Striker. Se7en abandoned Jaymes who was pinned for the loss. This week they faced each other and Se7en came out on the winning end of the match. This one also looks far from over.
Former IZW referee Randy Price made his wrestling debut against the man he attacked the week before, John O'Malley. Beginning your career by feuding with a former #1 in the Oklafan Top 50 and one of the toughest individuals in the state was probably not the wisest choice. O'Malley tore the dollar sign off the singlet of self proclaimed Mr. Money. Referee Rob Justice was knocked out in the match and Price grabbed a chair and hit himself with it then tossed it to O'Malley just as Justice regained his senses. Justice then DQ'd O'Malley to give Price his first professional win. But it came at a cost. O'Malley used the chair on Price anyway.
Philliberto Marco continued his winning ways by getting his second consecutive win over Austin Tacious. This match was much better than the one two weeks ago as both combatants seemed to have worn off their in-ring jitters. Not much is known about the two of them but we hope to see more of them.
The final match of the night featured IZW Tag Team Champions The New Age Syndicate defending the titles against former champions Nathan Sensation & Striker. Both teams seem to have a distinct hatred for one another and it shows. The match ended when the Syndicate used their kendo sticks on both of their opponents. IZW Commissioner Mike Iles then came out and announced that at "Evolution", the IZW Tag Team Titles would be on the line as NAS would defend the titles against Sensation & Striker in a Kendo Stick On A Pole Match. He further stipulated that if NAS came in physical contact with Sensation or Striker, the titles would be stripped, and if Sensation & Striker came in contact with NAS they would be suspended and the title match would be off.
"Evolution" is just a few weeks away and we already have 2 matches announced. What other matches will Commissioner Iles announce? Come to The Impact Arena and find out. It is at 5325 S. Penn just a few miles north of I-240 on Penn. Admission is just $5 and that is the best value for your wrestling dollar. Plus, you can buy "Evolution" tickets at the show as well. "Evolution" tickets are just $5 as well and former WWE superstar Al Snow is on the card.
As always bell time for IZW shows is 7pm.
IZW?FEEL THE IMPACT!!!
