Why Love When Hate Brings Success?

Posted: May 21st 2010 By: CMBurnham

IZW Champion John O'Malley returned to IZW in the beginning of 2009 and picked up right where he left off. He had a big smile to match his size, but one thing that was missing was his former ego. However, his new nice guy attitude wasn't getting him up the ranks as quickly as he wanted. As IZW supershow September Slam approached in 2009, Mr. O'Malley realized he had to do something to get noticed or he wouldn't be on the show. So he set his sights on rising star Brandon Groom by ambushing him with a brutal attack. He got himself inserted into Groom's Number One Contender's Match for the Impact Division Title with Austin Tacious to make it a Triple Threat.

Groom won that battle, but O'Malley won the war when he injured Groom badly enough to where he wasn't able to capture the Impact title. With Groom out of the picture, O'Malley set his sights on a bigger picture. He entered and won the Halloween Hangover battle royal the next month, earning him a chmpionship shot any time he wanted. He wasted no time cashing it in, as the next week he faced then Champion, the Real Deal Aaron Neil. Neil had already participated in a match against IZW Tag Team Champion "The Wrecking Ball" Shane Rawls.

That night the plan was put into motion - O'Malley joined the Future Hall of Famers as IZW Heavyweight Champion. Since then, nothing but success has followed. After losing the title at Violent Valentine to MSWA Oklahoma Champion "The Awesome One" Kevin Morgan, fellow Future Hall of Famer, IZW Tag Team Champion "The Revolutionary" Dane Griffin, helped him to win it back at IZW's 6th Anniversary show.

"The Hate Machine" John O'Malley is riding high, acompanied by "Bad" Brad Michaels, Oklafan's 2009 Manager of the Year, and the IZW Tag Team Champions, Dane Griffin and Shane Rawls. With these men by his side, the Future Hall of Famers are posing the question - "Why love when hate brings so much success?"

But John O'Malley and the rest of the Future Hall of Famers hsould remember the following:

-Kevin Morgan has a IZW Heavyweight Championship rematch as former Champion.
-Aaron Neil won the 2010 Impact Player of the Year Tournament and has a guaranteed title shot.
-Arrogant Money has a rematch for the IZW Tag Team titles as former champions.
