Hell yeah, solid looking tournament entrants!! Looking forward to seeing/playing a bit of this!!

[tystates]

Sure anyone can jump in. I haven't done the tag tourny bracket yet, or the singles. Plan for the first show was do the tag tourny first round, the Trish-Jazz match, something with the other singles stars in the title tourny, and round out with something using the rest.

The first round of the IWCW tag team championship tournament shakes out like this:

Angel Orsini & Simply Luscious vs. Aja Kong & Awesome Kong

Gail Kim & Malia Hosaka vs. Ayako Hamada & Sarah Stock

Allison Danger & Taylor Wilde vs. Megumi Kudo & Luna Vachon

Angelina Love & Velvet Sky vs. Madusa & Reggie Bennett

Ringside tickets are still available, and join us early for the meet and greet beforehand. Bell time is... well, not sure, lol, whenever the hobbit tribe allows, but there IS a bell time, lol.

Live, from Madison Square Garden, the first show of the IWCW!!!


1: Fabulous Moolah v Alere Little Feather

An easy tune up for the wily vet. Alere started with a solid couple of moves, but The Fabulous One's experience quickly turned the tide and captured the match. Moolah wins with kneedrop clothesline to take the fall.

2: Ida Mae Martinez v Christina Von Eerie

Ida Mae schooled her younger opponent for most of the match, but seemed to get cocky in the late match, scaling the turnbuckle and coming off with a flying body press. A bit too much showboating on the top cost her as Von Eerie had time to gather her wits and rolled through the body press and turned it into a winning pin for herself. Martinez, at first looked angry, but then shook the hand of her younger opponent, challenging her as she did so to a rematch soon.

3: IWCW tag tourney match-up, Round 1:
Aja and Awesome Kong v Simply Luscious and Angel Orsini

Well, Orsini and Luscious showed up and that at least counts for something. The Queen Kongs worked like a well-oiled machine (though the term well-oiled and the Kongs CAN bring disturbing images, try not to dwell...) and isolated Orsini early and completely. Luscious made one attempt to get in the ring (to break up the pin on Orsini after the Awesome Bomb) and was escorted out of the ring again with authority by Aja. The Queen Kongs advance handily.

4: IWCW tag tourney match-up, Round 1:
Gail Kim & Malia Hosaka vs. Ayako Hamada & Sarah Stock

If the first tourney match was a squash, this match was a cherry. A fantastic back and forth offering with lots of hot tags and near falls. The 2 teams combined for 11 PIN tokens before Gail Kim caught Stock with a 2nd HAPPY ENDING. Hamada could not make the save in time and the Asian Invasion moves forward.

5: Torrie Wilson v Wesna Busic

Torrie Wilson was being interviewed and had stated how she felt that she had the right to be here and that she could compete on the same level as ANY woman on the roster. Busic came down and asked if that meant any time and any where. Wilson reluctantly answered yes, Wesna smiled and the match was on... and the match was over. Busic needed exactly 4 moves to pin Wilson with a Samoan drop.

6: IWCW tag tourney match-up, Round 1:
Allison Danger & Taylor Wilde vs. Megumi Kudo & Luna Vachon

Another great match, with contrasting styles. Danger and Wilde used quickness and technique to combat the power and roughouse tactics of Darkside. In the end, A LUNA ECLIPSE on Wilde spelled the end. Darkside advances.

7: IWCW tag tourney match-up, Round 1:
Angelina Love & Velvet Sky vs. Madusa & Reggie Bennett

The Beautiful people were definitely outmatched here, but showed a lot of grit and determination, refusing to go down quietly (now THAT is better visual than oiled Kongs, don't you think?) and surprising both their critics and their opponents with some great offensive flurries. Unfortunately for both teams, the referee seemed to either have a hot date or needed to use the restroom, because the first time this match went out of the ring, he immediately called for the bell, DQing both teams. Neither the fans not the participants seemed pleased with his call, and Reggie Bennett explained that to him with a GLOBAL BOMB. Both teams are eliminated, giving Darkside a free ride to the Finals.

8: Main Event for the remaining spot in the IWCW Heavyweight Tournament: Trish Stratus v Jazz

Apparently the referee for this match had been watching the previous match, as he allowed these 2 ladies pretty much free reign in and out of the ring. A really solid back and forth math-up that showed both women's talent and resiliency. A series of Pin attempts and reversals finally led to Trish throwing Jazz into the ropes, but Jazz surprised Trish with a knee to the head followed immediately by the STF. A tired Trish struggled gamely for several seconds, but finally was forced to tap. Jazz receives the final slot in the singles tourney.

Live from The Omni in Atlanta!!! The next installment of IWCW!!

1. Alere Little Feather v Torrie Wilson

Torrie Wilson came out to regale the crowd with her vast accomplishments and to explain that her loss against Wesna on the last card was a fluke. She had just had her nails done, a facial and pedicure. Alere came down and asked if she was "good to go" this time. Torrie said she thought so. Bell rings, Torrie attacks early and quick. But Little Feather was not going to be put away easy. After blocking a Torrie kick, Alere fired back with a series of moves, culminating in back-to back Alere Dust's for the win.

2. IWCW tag tourney match-up, Semi-final: The Queen Kongs v The Asian Invasion

These 4 ladies all came to put on a clinic and to dispose of the other team. The speed and agility of the Invasion initially kept the overwhelming power of the Kongs at bay, as Hosaka and Kim made lightning quick tags and wore down both of their larger opponents. A missed turnbuckle spot by Kim was the difference maker as the Kongs were able to turn it around and bring the strength to bear. Kim proved she is a top caliber competitor and continually managed to find a way out of being pinned, and Hosaka's timely saves kept them in it. In the end an exhausted and bloodied Kim simply had no answer for a 3rd Uraken and Awesome Kong took Hosaka's head off with a clothesline as she tried to make the save. The Queen Kong's advance to meet Darkside in the finals.

3. IWCW Women's Championship tourney, Round 1: Akira Hokuto v Jazz

Hokuto had missed flight connections the day before and only that morning had arrived in Atlanta from Japan. The jet lag seemed to really work against her, as she simply had no answer for Jazz's power assault. Hokuto kept in the match just enough to keep it from being a complete squash, but in the end fell prey to the Bitch Clamp. Jazz advances.

4. IWCW Women's Championship tourney, Round 1: Bull Nakano v Mildred Burke

Simply a classic. combining for 11 PIN tokens, these 2 ladies struggled to find any way possible to put the other away. Both women kicked out of multiple attempts to pin the other and shook off each others finishers like Dusty Rhodes shaking off an offer for a veggie platter, and just kept coming. In the end, Burke agility advantage was the difference as she thwarted several Nakano moves and then went to the top to finish her larger opponent with a body press. Burke advances.

5. No-DQ Match: Angelina Love & Velvet Sky vs. Madusa & Reggie Bennett

Video footage of their prior match was aired, along with Bennett's attack on the referee after the match. Bennett was advised that further assaults on IWCW officials could lead to "severe repercussions". In the No-DQ setting, Madusa nd Bennett seemed to settle right in to a groove of destruction, leaving both People a little less Beautiful. A Global Bomb outside the ring on Sky took the fall. A Global Bomb on the official after the match, took Bennett to the back escorted by officials.

6. IWCW Women's Championship tourney, Round 1: Sherri Martel v June Byers

Both women came to make a statement and make a statement they did. Two of the all-time best proved why as they rocked a back-and-forth match that kept the fans on the edge of their seats. Sherri actually seemed a bit more on point, controlling more of the match, but seemingly unable to find the right answer to keep her opponent down. Byers kept coming back and finally found the answer, hitting Sherri with the Pendulum Backbreaker, followed by the Byers' Bridge for the 3-count. June Byers advances

7. IWCW Women's Championship tourney, Round 1: Penny Banner v Fabulous Moolah

Just wow. These 2 Legends gave new definition to that word in this marathon classic. Move, counter-move, reversal, offense, defense, finishers, 2 and 99/100 counts. In ring, out of ring, this match had it ALL. Unfortunately a miscue and piledriver outside the ring left Banner unable to return to the ring before the 20-count and the Fabulous One moves forward. Fabulous Moolah advances.

8. IWCW tag tourney match-up, Finals: Darkside v The Awesome Kongs

The Kongs came out to win the titles, and they did. Luna and Kudo put up a solid defense, and continually kicked out of the pin attempts, but could mount almost no offense. Finally the Awesome Bomb on Kudo put an end the Darkside's title hopes. Winners and...
