Impact Inc. regains belts, but loses a member

Posted: Dec 11th 2005 By: oklastaff

Impact Inc. has been tearing a path of domination through IZW since the federation began running regular shows again in September. The faction, consisting of IZW owner Aaron Neil, Julian Wolfenbarger, Brandon Bishop, Bernie Donderwitz and IZW owner John Zorthos have used all their power & intimidation to run over most of the competitors in IZW, much to the chagrin of IZW commissioer Gary Tool. But Tool?s contract, which was drawn up by Zorthos, gives Tool complete authourity, even more than the owner. That authourity has helped Impact Inc, in the past, but tonight it hurt them.

The night started well for the group as Tool came out to review some video footage of the IZW Tag Team match from Nov 19 where the Old School Assassins, Brad Michaels & Dexter Hardaway, defeated Zorthos & Donderwitz for the titles. The footage clearly showed that Hardaway used one of the tag team belts to gain the victory and, as much as it pained him, Tool did what he felt was the only fair thing and reversed the decision, giving the belts back to Zorthos & Donderwitz. This led to a 4 on 1 attack against the OSA, until the arrival of IZW Champion Big Van Vader. Vader was set to defend the IZW title against Aaron Neil in a No Holds Barred match, but demanded that the match be postponed, allowing him & the OSA to face off against Neil, Zorthos & Donderwitz in a 6-man tag that night.

Later in the card, Brandon Bishop & Julian Wolfenbarger faced off against the Party Express, Cade Sydal & Mitch Carter. After losing this match, the 6th such loss in IZW, Brandon Bishop got on the microphone and started complaining about how Gary Tool was simply keeping him down. Tool came out and cut off his microphone, ordering Bishop to the back. While making his way to the entrance area, Bishop suddenly attacked Tool, causing the lockerroom to empty and seperate the combatants. A quick intermission was called to restore order and Bishop was seen with his gear leaving the Boys & Girls Club. After intermission, Ring announcer Steve O confirmed that Bishop had been fired from IZW, reading a statement that the IZW owner hastily prepared, apologising for the incident.

Bishop has had a recent history of bad relationships with Oklahoma promotions. He was suspended indefintely from SRPW by commissioner Ray Martinez after a match where he teamed with Matt Garza against Sonny C & Karl Davis went to a double DQ. He also had philisophical differences with TPW management, resulting in his not being invited back to wrestle for them either.
