Michigan Indy Wrestling
IWF (Insane Wrestling Federation) -
www.iwfwrestling.com
Sabu is the current IWF Heavyweight
Champion. He has been the champion since
last August (except for one month when
the title was held up, but he quickly
won it back).
Who’s he going to face next for
the title?
Well that was determined at the last
IWF show on June 14 at VFW Hall in Southfield,
Michigan. They had a tournament to determine
the #1 Contender.
In the first round, (JCW Champion)
Vampiro returned to the IWF and defeated
CashFlo.
Yukon Braxton beat 2 Tuff Tony.
Cpl. Robinson beat "Death Dealer"
Tommy Starr.
Necro Butcher beat Flamin’ Damon
Starr in under a minute.
In the Semifinals, Vampiro beat Yukon
Braxton
and (in a brutal match that included
flourescent light tubes), Necro Butcher
beat Cpl. Robinson .
Then, in the Finals, Necro Butcher
defeated Vampiro.
(So, Necro is the new #1 contender.
I would’ve liked to see Vampiro
win. I think a Sabu vs. Vampiro match
could draw a lot of people, but Necro
pulled off the win with his "Asian
Spike" submission move.)
In non-tournament matches,
"The Future"Chris Sabin beat
American Kickboxer.
Custom Made Man & Otto Bahn (a
midget wrestler/manager) beat Truth
Martini & Steve Nixon when Nixon
turned on Martini.
(IWF Cruiserweight Champion) Loverboy
Steve beat Danny Daniels.
The next IWF show is Friday, July 26
at Knight of Columbus Hall in Hamtramck.
It will be their biggest show ever!
It is actually going to be recorded
for nationwide DVD release.
In the main event, Sabu defends the
IWF Title against Necro Butcher in an
"I-Quit" Match.
The Lynch Mob: Cpl. Robinson, Cash
Flo, & 2 Tuff Tony face Colt Cabana,
C.M. Punk, and Chris Hero.
Loverboy Steve defends the IWF Cruiserweight
Title against Steve Nixon.
Danny Daniels faces Truth Martini.
Yukon Braxton and Breyer Wellington
will also be there.

(XICW Light heavyweight Champion) Keith
Kreme beat Jimmy Jacobs.
Danny Daniels & "Amazing"

Chris Sabin & Truth Martini for
the XICW Tag Team Titles when N8 pinned
Sabin.

Johnny Bradford as his new manager)beat

another man dressed as Ooga Booga (possibly
Roughhouse Rob) distracted Levi.
Frankie The Face (with "Handsome"
Johnny Bradford) beat Gutter (with Cindy).
(XICW Heavyweight Champion) Yukon Braxton
was not at the event. So they had a
#1 contenders match. Mr. Insanity beat
Mr. Meaner after he dropkicked Meaner
through a table outside the ring and
then did a Splash off the ring apron
onto him.
The main event saw the XICW Hardcore
Title Match, a Dog-Collar Match between
then champion, "Pitbull" Skull
Ganz and "The Dangerous One"
DBA end in a no-contest. Both men touched
the 4th corner at the same time. And
then Frankie The Face and Mr. Meaner
came to the ring and attacked Insanity
until Jaimy Coxxx and Mr. Insanity made
the save. Then other wrestlers came
out as well.
The next XICW show is Sunday, July
7 at Hot Rocks Café in Warren

N8 Mattson in his corner) when Truth
Martini interfered and turned heel attacking
Jacobs.
The former IWR Champion Yukon Braxton
left the company and the #1 contender
Elvis Elliot was not able to make the
event, therefore the #2 and #3 contenders
had a match to determine the new IWR
Champion and Mr. Insanity beat Homeless

to become the new IWR Champion.

Finally, Michigan Championship Wrestling
will have it’s next show at the
IMA Sports Arena in Flint on Friday,
August 2. They have mad such stars as
Kevin Sullivan, Balls Mahoney, Rock’
N’ Roll Express, and even The Sandman.
Whoever these shows aren’t all
they are cracked up to be. I hear that
a lot of the wrestlers that are promised
are not at their shows and the matches
are not very good, either. I haven’t
heard that great of reviews about them
even though they do seem to have a lot
of big stars.
However, I don’t want to end on
a bad note, so I would like to recommend
everyone that can to check out the upcoming
IWF show in Hamtramck on July 26 . IWF
always puts on a great show. It is run
by former ECW referee AT Huck. They
have had such stars as Sabu, Tommy Dreamer,
Steve Corino, Vampiro, Kevin Sullivan,
Dylan Night (with Candi), Hido (from
FMW in Japan), Rude Boy and the ICP
(Insane Clown Posse).
Also, back when the IWF was known as
ICW (Insane Championship Wrestling)
they used to have Rhino (Rhyno), Edge,
and Christian.
I am quite looking forward to their
next show and hopefully when the show
is released on DVD the promotion will
get the exposure it deserves.
