Fifth Anniversary Fast Approaching

Posted: Apr 24th 2009 By: mikeiles

Ordinarily when Steve O makes an appearance to address the crowd, he can barely get in a word edge-wise over the din of the disapproving fans. But after being promised that Steve O had something "you might actually want to hear" by the ring announcer, the fans gave him a chance to speak. He unveiled his plan for the upcoming fifth anniversary of Impact Zone Wrestling, and while he detailed little in the way of match-ups, he promised big things. Little did the fans know how true that would become only moments later...

During the main event, which pitted Blake Albright against the IZW Heavyweight Champion Aaron Neil, Steve O escorted the challenger to ringside. The match was intense, and after several back-and-forth exchanges Albright brought the champion to the mat. Hesitating for a moment, he looked to Steve O as if waiting for instructions. Just like that, he grabbed a steel chair from ringside and smashed Neil over the head with it in clear view of referee Donny Brooks, gaining him an immediate disqualification. The fans were in shock?why would the #1 contender throw away a title opportunity like that? Only seconds later Steve O's devious plan came into focus. As Albright dished out more punishment to a dazed Neil, Steve O told everyone that tonight was not Albright's night to become champion, but that he would have a second title opportunity at IZW's fifth anniversary show on May 9th. So The Poster Boy chose to use his match tonight merely to soften Neil, nailing him with repeated neckbreakers in an attempt to injure the champion. Will Albright's deception allow him to gain the upper hand, or will Neil emerge victorious once again? Be there on May 9th to find out!
