OTHER NEWS: ISPW presents "Summer Rumble" (Roxxi vs. Carter, Fuller vs. Crowbar, Summer Rumble w/ Mahoney, Fuller) Jun 29, 2009 - 6:57:23 PM
ISPW issued the following release to PWTorch.com...
On Saturday, July 11th at the ISPW Arena in Freehold, NJ, Independent Superstars of Wrestling will crown a new World Heavyweight Champion. Following the shocking events which saw Danny Inferno win the ISPW strap in a match he already announced would be his last for the company. "My respect for Inferno knows no bounds," said ISPW owner Tommy Fierro, "and to let him retire with the title was the least I could do for someone who has given so much to this company." This chain of events has led up to the first ever 20 Participant Summer Rumble Match, which in turn will determine the new ISPW World Heavy Weight Champion.
The Summer Rumble Match is simple enough. Two men will start the match, and every two-minutes a new entrant will enter the ring. A wrestler will be considered eliminated once they are thrown over the top rope and their feet him the arena floor. The last man standing alone in the center of the ring will begin his reign as the new ISPW World Heavyweight Champion. Wrestlers such as Nunzio, Crowbar, and Julio Dinero are counting the days until they can get their chance to be a part of ISPW history.
"I've been around the world and back, in some of the biggest promotions and arenas in the world," Nunzio twittered last week, "and it's great to once again be working in a company like ISPW in front of the great New Jersey fans." While other wrestlers, such as Julio Dinero, weren't so complimentary of the company's fanbase, the desire to hold the number one championship in the company was fueling their fire. "Holding up the ISPW strap in front of the unwashed masses at the ISPW Arena will be a career defining moment for me," said Dinero, "it's unfortunate I'll have to share such a special moment in my life with a bunch of out of work wrestling fans living in their parent's basement. But maybe my title reign will be the stimulus package they need to move on in life!"
The Summer Rumble, already loaded with talent including Balls Mahoney, HC Loc, Judas Young, Rick Fuller, Chase Del Monte, and Rob Eckos has also had a recent surprise teased ISPW General Manager "Mr. Personality" Nicholas Nice. "I will not give a single clue about this wrestler other than say he's wrestling hottest free agent and is in demand by every single wrestling promotion, and movie studio, across the country." Nice continued, "He may or may not have a name so nice you have to say it twice and I'd recommend every single fan have some respect and refer to him as 'Mister' when addressing him. On July 11th, New Jersey better get ready for one heck of a MYSTERRYYY ENTRANT….ENTRANT!"
Another big match signed for July 11th is a special Divas Match between Roxxi and Brooke Carter. A longtime comic book fan, Roxxi compares this match-up to Marvel comics' Civil War release. "In a way, we're two dynamic forces coming together for an exciting battle," said Roxxi, "just like when Captain American and Iron man fought in Civil War. You didn't know who was going to win, but you couldn't wait to see them go at it!"
Lots of buzz is surrounding the I QUIT MATCH between Crowbar and "The Detonator" Rick Fuller, including the possible reveal of the mysterious "HE" that Crowbar was referring to at the end of ISPW's last show. Fans were left wondering what the mental state of Crowbar was during his bizarre promo at ISPW: The Return, and questions could be answered on July 11th. Rick Fuller has his own opinions on the matter. "Crowbar is bat-guano insane," explained Fuller, "it doesn't matter who 'HE' is because there is no 'HE.' Crowbar's lost it and I am going to eliminate this public nuisance once and for all."
Another big match that is heating up has Julio Dinero (with Miss Michelle) taking on Rob Eckos with special referee Flash. All the fans who have been watching ISPW's YouTube channel have seen the volatile situation backstage between Flash and Dinero after Julio's tongue lashing of Miss Michelle. Will Flash call it right down the middle? After getting a victory stolen from him at a previous show, will Eckos get his revenge? And what is Miss Michelle's play in all of this? These questions and many more will be answered on July 11th!
