New Heavyweight Champion Crowned At Violent Valentine

Posted: Feb 21st 2010 By: CMBurnham

Violent Valentine truly lived up to its name as IZW superstars put their bodies and blood on the line. IZW wrestlers displayed their true understanding of sacrifice as bodies were put through ladders and tables and blood was spilled. New Tag Team Champions were crowned in a Triple Threat Ladder Match. Johnny Z and Bernie D finally faced off after months of anticipation. But in the biggest piece of news from the show, the brutal No DQ main event featured the crowning of a new IZW Heavyweight Champion in the Awesome One, Kevin Morgan.

Arrogant Money have spent the last few weeks trying to prove themselves to Johnny Z so that they could join Impact Inc. When Bernie D attacked Johnny Z last week, Arrogant Money tried to make the save but took steel chair shots for their trouble. Before their match this evening, they approached Johnny about the incident last week, but were met with callousness. Johnny didn?t seem to care about their recent actions and walked away, leaving them hanging. The Triple Threat Ladder Match for the vacant IZW Tag Team Championships was the first match, featuring Arrogant Money, the New Age Syndicate, and BLK-OUT. The New Age Syndicate used their kendo sticks to their advantage while multiple ladders where used to try to incapacitate opponents. All three teams gave it their all, withstanding substantial pain to try to grab the Titles hanging from the ceiling. At one point, both a table and a ladder were set up between the ring apron and the guard rail, a member of the New Age Syndicate on each one. High Energy Jermaine Johnson and Randy Price jumped off the top turnbuckles, putting the Syndicate through the ladder and the table. But Johnny Z?s callousness toward Arrogant Money earlier seemed to be a ruse. While Jermaine Johnson was climbing the ladder, close to grabbing the Titles, Johnny Z ran out. He grabbed Johnson off the ladder and powerbombed him through a table on the outside of the ring. This allowed Arrogant Money to grab the vacant Tag Team Championships. As Johnny celebrated with them, he pointed to the video screen, which showed a new Impact Inc video with Arrogant Money in it. It seems like Impact Inc has strengthened significantly with the addition of the new Tag Team Champions, Arrogant Money.

Double D has been impressive in IZW since debuting a few months ago. He faced Se7en in the second match of the evening. When Se7en locked in a triangle choke, Double D maneuvered Se7en?s shoulders to the mat for the three. After several notable wins, what is in store for Double D?s future in the company? Next, the Real Deal Aaron Neil took on the Wrecking Ball Shane Rawls. The two have had tension for months, with Neil blaming Rawls for making him lose the Heavyweight Championship. The big men went at it hard as the match looked like it could have gone either way. But as Neil went for the Real Drill, Rawls slipped out and hit Neil with the F-5 for the big win. It was announced later that the Real Deal and the Wrecking Ball would be facing off on February 27th in a steel cage. If Neil wins, he gets five minutes alone in the cage with Rawls? manger, Bad Brad Michaels. Michaels has been a thorn in Neil?s side for quite some time. What will happen in this battle in the cage? Also announced, IZW Impact Division Champion Eric Rose puts his title on the line against Ky-ote Joe this week.

Next up was the long-awaited showdown between Johnny Z and Bernie D. These two men used to be best friends, as they had tagged together for many years. Together they had held the IZW Tag Team Championships seven times. But the tension between them had grown so intense that Johnny fired Bernie from the company. Bernie then returned as the Co-Commissioner of IZW. He recently stepped down from that position in favor of the Senator, Sam Helton. But Johnny and Bernie have been attacking each other viciously over the past few weeks in anticipation of this big match. The match didn?t disappoint as both men went straight for each other. On the outside, Bernie threw Johnny into the ring post, busting him wide open. Johnny lost a lot of blood as each man was able to hit their finishers numerous times, but couldn?t put the other man away. However, Arrogant Money was determined to return the favor from earlier in the evening, as they came out to help Johnny. This allowed Johnny Z to hit the Final Impact for the win. Will Bernie allow Johnny to have the last word or will he keep coming for Johnny?

After both men had called each other out for quite some time, Carnage and Wage faced off. After being introduced, Wage laid in wait outside the curtain. When Carnage came out, Wage attacked him. After fighting for some time, Wage grabbed his thick chain and attacked Carnage with it, getting himself disqualified. As Carnage bled, he didn?t seem satisfied with the ending of the match. Will these two meet again in the future?

The much anticipated main event featured the IZW Heavyweight Championship on the line as John O?Malley (c) took on the Awesome One, Kevin Morgan in a No DQ Match. The match was vicious in many ways, only lasting a few minutes before both men started fighting all over the arena and into the crowd. The match seemed like it would end in the Hate Machine?s favor as he was accompanied by all the members of the Future Hall of Famers. All three of the men repeatedly got involved in the match. But after O?Malley brought in brass knuckles, Morgan was able to take them and laid a beating on O?Malley. Then the Awesome One gave O?Malley a spinebuster on a steel chair and we had a new IZW Heavyweight Champion. As blood poured down his face, O?Malley was stunned, as were all of the Future Hall of Famers. Members of the locker room came out to celebrate with the exhausted and elated Kevin Morgan.

Violent Valentine contained many big moments for IZW and its fans. But is the war over between Johnny Z and Bernie D? What will the new additions to Impact Inc mean for the rest of the company? And with a brand new Heavyweight Champion, where will IZW go from here?
