Greg Berezovske’s Pennsylvania Championship Wrestling Alliance (PCWA) will bring pro wrestlers out to stage a fundraiser wrestling show Sat. night Feb 2 2008. to benefit 6-year-old Allan Springer, who suffers from Leigh's disease, a terminal condition effecting the neuro-muscular system. Benefit will consist of 10 matches, Mount Carmel (PA) American Legion is the venue. Wrestlers scheduled to appear include Doink the Clown; Arbo, US Champ of Kulpmont; GI Bear (Greg), PSWA Heavy Weight Champ of Mount Carmel; Nick Destiny of Mount Carmel; Unbreakable Dave of Shamokin, and other wrestlers from Philadelphia, New York and Maryland. Doors open 6 p.m. Belltime 7 p.m. All proceeds benefit Allan Springer and family.
PCWA started up last year as a project for Greg Berezovske to help local fire companies raise much needed cash. I went to every show he promoted, and they all had full houses (250) and they were good solid shows. Hats off to Greg and his workers for jobs well done. His last show back in Nov 2007 had a match between local talent Arbo and Unbreakable Dave. this bout stemming from them being the last two remaining in a battle royal. They wrestled for the United States Championship. These fellows didn't weigh more than 150 pounds each. They put on the match of the night. As a 35 year fan of pro wrestling I'm not a big fan of the flippy floppy spot fest style. But these two put on one hell of a match, with Dave living up to his moniker of Unbreakable. Thank You for your help, Joe Willis (Maddog) Coal Township, Pa.

NWA Upstate WrestleBowl '08 Full Results/February Fallout News
NWA Upstate returned to action Saturday January 12th with its first show of the new year, WrestleBowl '08. On the heels of Upstate's last show, Holiday Hangover, it would be interesting to see what would happen as a bitter feud came to a bloody, violent feud, another feud has started involving a rival promotion, and many titles were up for grabs including the Upstate World Heavyweight Title.
Preshow
The Dustytaker defeated "The Rochester Bulldozer" DewMaga
The show started with a remtach from Holiday Hangover pitting The Deadman Reffin' against Upstate's Man of Many Gimmicks in Dewey, this time as The Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga. DewMaga tried to gain the upper hand attacking The Dustytaker before the bell rang. Once inside the ring, The Rochester Bulldozer once again fell prey to a thunderous chokeslam and Dustytaker once again got the victory. Rumor has it that after the match Dewey said that he wasn't done with The Dustytaker and that he wouldn't rest until he put him away once and for all. What does Dewey mean, and what could he possibly have in store for the Dustytaker? Hopefully we'll have more on this in the coming weeks.
Main Show
NWA Upstate Six-Man Champions The Latin Soldiers defeated Spazz, Mark Krieger, & Chip Stetson
The Latin Soldiers (Luis Whiteshoes, Maximo Suave, & Stargazer), who won the Six-Man Trophy at Holiday Hangover, made their first defense of the trophy a successful one against the unpredictable psycho from the Shady Acres Mental Institute and his two mystery partners, Mark Krieger and Chip Stetson, who were both former Upstate Six-Man champions themselves. The champions isolated Spazz and hit a powerbomb/neckbreaker combo with Maximo getting the pin. It looks as if Whiteshoes & Maximo, who feuded for most of last year, are on the same page and the trio from Puerto Rico have gelled very well as a team.
Gabe Saint & NWA Upstate No Limits Champion Cheech defeated CloudLee ("One Hit Wonder" Cloudy & "The Right Stuff" Brodie Lee)
This was a special challenge match made from Holiday Hangover when CloudLee interrupted Gabe & Cheech after their title match. Back and forth match that saw some miscommunication with Saint & Cheech as Saint accidentally hit Cheech thinking he was Cloudy. Saint apologized, but the No Limits Champion wouldn't hear it, leaving the ring and walking out on his partner. Despite the 2-on-1 advantage, CloudLee couldn't put The Bull of Black Mountain away. Frustrated with themselves and the referee, Brodie Lee went after referee Andrew Mollon and he and Cloudy were going to give him the Cloudy Killer (powerbomb/lungblower combo). But Saint hit Cloudy as he strattled the top turnbuckle and had enough left to rollup Brodie Lee for the three-count. Saint overcame the odds to get the win, but one has to wonder if the respect he had for his partner is still there?
Sweet Lou (w/Col. Johnny Kayfabe) defeated "The Exceptional Icon" Eric Everlast
This match was demanded by Eric Everlast after Sweet Lou decided to "go back to his roots" and team up with Rhythm & Booze at Holiday Hangover instead of Everlast & Triple X in their defense of the Six Man Trophy. Much to Everlast's and the fans' surprise, Col. Johnny Kayfabe came out with Sweet Lou and was instrumental in the victory. Everlast seemingly had the match in hand when Col. Kayfabe distracted the referee, Super Assassin and Triple X came out and attacked Eric Everlast. The interference along with a vicious spear equaled a victory for Sweet Lou. Super Assassin & Triple X, upset with Everlast for turning on them and costing them the Six-Man Trophy at Holiday Hangover, gained a small measure of revenge for Everlast's actions. Suffice to say the loss has not sit well The Exceptional Icon and there's no doubt somewhere down the road he'll be looking to even the score with his former partners.
Tag Team Champions Rhythm & Booze defeated The Ring Crew Express in a Lynchburg Death Match
This was the much anticipated, first time ever Lynchburg Death Match and the culmination of a bitter rivalry between two of the best teams in Upstate. It was an anything goes, falls-count-anywhere street fight that will go down as one of the bloodiest, most violent matches in Upstate history. Everything from ladders to belts to bullropes to hay bales were used as all four men beat the hell out of each other. Even Col. Kayfabe wasn't safe as he took a spear from Nikki Jett and brutal guitar shot from Marcos. Sweet Lou, though, came out as he helped pull Dunn out toward the aisle where Buddy Delmar smashed a beer bottle over Dunn's head! Back inside, Delmar & Frank The Tank continued their assault tying up Marcos with the bullropes to the ringposts so Marcos couldn't escape. Frank hit Marcos with their Confederate Crunch (top rope splash) to get the pin. The champs from Lynchburg retained their gold, but how much did the win take out of them and The Ring Crew Express?
"D To The Icky" Dicky Sanchez & "The Havana Pitbull" Ricky Reyes defeated 2CW's Slyck Wagner Brown & "Hurricane" John Walters by disqualification
The match between D To The Icky and Ricky Reyes was interrupted by the 2CW contingent, who were going to make an impact and answer the challenge laid down by NWA Upstate owner Hellcat from 2 weeks ago. It started with Zachary Springate grabbing the mic and proclaiming that wrestling had finally come back to Rochester. Springate went on to rundown Upstate and its fans and put over Slyk as "wrestling's best kept secret" and said that Walters could wrestle circles around anyone in Upstate. Well The Boss had heard enough as Hellcat came out. Hellcat said that since 2CW wanted to make an impact and that Dicky & Reyes were pissed off that their match was interrupted, he would put them in a tag match with Slyk/Walters vs. Dicky/Reyes. Hellcat also said that since Springate and Love didn't have managers' licenses, neither of them could be at ringside and security escorted both Springate and Love out of the building. As for the match, Brown and Walters were in control until both men got frustrated and shoved down referee Andrew Mollon forcing the DQ. Slyk and Walters continued their attack on D To The Icky until Reyes chased both men off with a steel chair. So it was Upstate who came out on top against 2CW, but is this the last we've heard from the rival promotion out of Syracuse?
NWA National Heavyweight Champion Pepper Parks defeated Cody Deaner
Another back and forth match that was a good showing by Deaner as he came close on several occassions of becoming the new champion. But a rollup by Parks with his feet on the ropes for leverage and "The Patrick Swayze of Professional Wrestling" retained his title. The champion's tactics are definitely questionable and haven't sit well with the fans. But one can't argue his success as he comes into the new year with a lot of momentum. Deaner, who was once hated by the fans, has definitely turned over a new leaf and received in a nice ovation from the fans for his efforts.
NWA Empire Tag Team Champions The McCloud Brothers defeated Super Assassin & Triple X
The McCloud Brothers made their first defense of the Empire Tag Team Titles a successful one against two-thirds of the former Upstate Six-Man Tag Team Champions. The brothers from Boston were in sync throughout the match while the challengers were anything but. The masked duo did take control and scored a few near-falls, but the champions rebounded and hit Triple X with the Boston Massacre (double-team lungblower) to get the win. The fighting Irishmen continued their winning ways and have a lot of momentum in their quest to become Upstate Tag Team Champions.
"The Notorious BCL" Big Cat Lemmer defeated Coconut Jones
Suffice to say, The Notorious BCL was not in a good mood and it showed here as he made quick work of Coconut Jones, winning with the BCL Driver (Death Valley Driver). Lemmer didn't seem too happy with his competition, or lack thereof, and rumor has it he let Upstate officials know about it after the match. We'll keep an eye out on this situation in the weeks to come.
NWA Upstate World Heavyweight Champion Jimmy Olsen defeated "Fabulous" John McChesney (w/Star Rider) and Danny Doring in a triple threat match
This was the main event pitting the champion against two of his top contenders, one a former Upstate champion in Doring, the other being the man who felt he would've been champion in McChesney had in not been for Doring's interference. This one saw all three men go at it tooth and nail. In the end, it was Olsen who knocked Doring to the outside, leaving him alone with McChesney. McChesney went for his Fabulous Fallout but Olsen countered hitting his overbomb/piledriver combo to get the pin. Olsen retained the Upstate World Title but one has to wonder which man, Fabulous and/or Doring, will be looking to get a rematch for the gold.
Thank you to everyone who packed into the Minett Hall for Saturday's night show.
We will have results and pictures going up in the next few days, but some things we DID find out...

IWS Praise the Violence Preview and Bloodstream Web Show
Mayhem at the Medley
Long-time fans of the IWS know that it is our shows at the Medley where we stake our claim to being the best hardcore wrestling promotion in Canada and one of the best in the world. The Medley is where our blood beats faster, where we jump higher, where we dare more. It is the canvas where we dare to dream. On January 26th, we do it again, when we return to the Medley for Praise the Violence.
We first started this tradition back in 2001 with a show named, curiously enough, Praise the Violence. This show saw PCP Crazy F’N Manny forced to fight twice in one night in order to achieve his dream of becoming the IWS Champion. (Beating then champion Nixon Stratus - IWS trivia fans.)
Seven years later and history repeats itself, only this time it is PCP Crazy F’N Manny who is champion, and it is he who is forcing his challengers to fight and destroy each other before getting a shot at his belt.
Four men will face off hoping to win the privilege of fighting a rested and prepared Manny in his specialty – an IWS Hardcore match. These four men, each with his own reasons for wanting to become the next IWS champion, are: IWS Canadian Champion Max Boyer, former IWS champion Franky the Mobster, former IWS champion Kevin Steen and former WWE tag team champion Sylvain Grenier.
Our preview show Bloodstream can be seen here:

IWS Hardcore Title Match:
IWS Champion PCP Crazy F’N Manny vs. the winner of the 4-Way match
*******************
Detailed Preview
It is said that the root of all evil is the love of gold. In the IWS, the root of all evil, the source of all the bad blood is caused by the love of IWS Gold. Consider the grievances of Beef Wellington, Lufisto and Twiggy - each rooted in their quest for the ultimate IWS prize.
At Breakout 2006, Beef Wellington intervened on Viking’s behalf forcing IWS Owner PCP Crazy F’N Manny to restart the match between Viking and then champion EXesS after trying to swindle Viking with a crooked quick count. Once Viking was champion, Beef figured that he would get a courtesy title shot from the new champion, but that courtesy never came. After nearly a year and a half, Beef snapped during Blood, Sweat and Beers 2007 and interfered in an IWS title match again, this time costing Viking the belt and making PCP Crazy F’N Manny the IWS Champion.
Having driven Viking out of the IWS, Beef comes to Praise the Violence with his thirst for revenge against Viking unquenched. And with no Viking around, Beef has decided to target Viking’s family, namely his brother Kenny the Bastard. But if Beef thinks that Kenny will be a pushover, he may be in for quite a surprise. Toughness runs in Kenny’s family and frankly so does an odd Quebec form of insanity. Kenny may be the smaller brother, but he is just as tough and twice as crazy as Viking - which Beef may find out to his cost.
Twiggy was poised to become the IWS Champion when 2.0 rushed to save their “Uncle Manny” just in the nick of time. The normally happy-go-lucky Air Guitar Hero of the IWS has nursed a grievance ever since. At Praise the Violence, Twiggy looks to make a statement at the expense of Jagged and Shane Matthews with the help from the ultimate fashion statement when you are looking to kick some ass: the woman the Japanese call “The Mountain” Vanessa Kraven.
They were the Royal Couple of Canadian Wrestling: Sexxxy Eddy and Lufisto, the Missionaries of Violence. They were dynamite in bed; they were dynamite in the ring. But before they could win their first title as a team, something came between them: the other woman, Sexxxy Eddy’s sexxxy valet and co-star Hottie Hollie. At Season’s Beatings 2007, after repeatedly making sure that there will never, ever be a PCP Crazy F’N Manny Jr., Lufisto was poised to win the IWS Title when Sexxxy Eddy’s music hit and Hottie Hollie came out distracting the ref long enough to help Manny win the match. Hell has no fury like a Lufisto scorned – as Eddy and Hollie are about to find out!
(I am now contractually obligated to point out that you can see Hottie Hollie in action at her web-site http://www.hottiehollie.com I should also probably say that that site is incredibly NSFW, but I would have thought that was obvious. In case you were wondering: contractually obligated = Eddy will kick my ass if I don’t.)
No match may be harder to call than the three-way Tag Team Title match. Cheech and Cloudy earned their shot by beating the former champions 2.0 and have had memorable and competitive battles with the Champions, the Super Smash Brothers, in the past. Jimmy Stone and Dan Paysan earned their title shot by beating (but not pinning) Player Uno and Stupefied. Dan Paysan has a history of success against both Player Uno and Stupefied as a singles competitor. Will he able to translate that history of success into IWS Tag Team gold?
Put ten IWS superstars into a Gauntlet match and you will see something memorable. But promise the winner a future shot at the IWS Title, stock that match with former champions like EXesS and the Green Phantom, IWS veterans longing for a shot like Kid Kamikaze and Fred la Merveille and hungry rookies like the arrogant Samson and the gothic daredevil Jimmy K, throw in a little mystery and sprinkle with… ok who’s the joker that put Shit Hawke in this match? The last thing we need is that annoying wind-bag maudit roux winning the IWS Title.
Sylvain Grenier, Maxime Boyer, Kevin Steen and Franky the Mobster. Four very different wrestlers who claim to have four very different motivations. Sylvain Grenier wants to prove that he is the King of Quebec Wrestling. Maxime Boyer wants to prove that he is the best technical wrestler in Canada. Franky the Mobster wants to be taken seriously. And Kevin Steen, Steen wants to kill Manny and if the only way that he gets to do that is to win the IWS Title, well that’s a bonus.
Steen may wear his emotions on his sleeve, but the truth is the fire in his eyes is no different than in those of Grenier or of Boyer. Even Franky the Mobster, when no one is looking, backstage when he allows his Joker fa็ade to drop, when he looks at Manny’s IWS belt, I promise you in his eyes, there is fire, there is desire, there is a love of Gold. Kevin Steen may be Franky’s best friend, but if I were Kevin, I would no more turn my back on Franky than I would on Sylvain, than I would on Boyer.
The one thing that these four men have in common is that there is nothing that they would not do to earn a shot at the IWS Title.
And no one knows that better than the man who has arranged for them to play demolition derby with their own bodies, the better to give him a chance to keep his precious title. His name is PCP Crazy F’N Manny, and for better or worse, he is our IWS Champion.
In the IWS, the root of all evil holds the Gold.

Greg Berezovske’s Pennsylvania Championship Wrestling Alliance (PCWA) will bring pro wrestlers out to stage a fundraiser wrestling show Sat. night Feb 2 2008. to benefit 6-year-old Allan Springer, who suffers from Leigh's disease, a terminal condition effecting the neuro-muscular system. Benefit will consist of 10 matches, Mount Carmel (PA) American Legion is the venue. Wrestlers scheduled to appear include Doink the Clown; Arbo, US Champ of Kulpmont; GI Bear (Greg), PSWA Heavy Weight Champ of Mount Carmel; Nick Destiny of Mount Carmel; Unbreakable Dave of Shamokin, and other wrestlers from Philadelphia, New York and Maryland. Doors open 6 p.m. Belltime 7 p.m. All proceeds benefit Allan Springer and family.
PCWA started up last year as a project for Greg Berezovske to help local fire companies raise much needed cash. I went to every show he promoted, and they all had full houses (250) and they were good solid shows. Hats off to Greg and his workers for jobs well done. His last show back in Nov 2007 had a match between local talent Arbo and Unbreakable Dave. this bout stemming from them being the last two remaining in a battle royal. They wrestled for the United States Championship. These fellows didn't weigh more than 150 pounds each. They put on the match of the night. As a 35 year fan of pro wrestling I'm not a big fan of the flippy floppy spot fest style. But these two put on one hell of a match, with Dave living up to his moniker of Unbreakable. Thank You for your help, Joe Willis (Maddog) Coal Township, Pa.

NWA Upstate WrestleBowl '08 Full Results/February Fallout News
NWA Upstate returned to action Saturday January 12th with its first show of the new year, WrestleBowl '08. On the heels of Upstate's last show, Holiday Hangover, it would be interesting to see what would happen as a bitter feud came to a bloody, violent feud, another feud has started involving a rival promotion, and many titles were up for grabs including the Upstate World Heavyweight Title.
Preshow
The Dustytaker defeated "The Rochester Bulldozer" DewMaga
The show started with a remtach from Holiday Hangover pitting The Deadman Reffin' against Upstate's Man of Many Gimmicks in Dewey, this time as The Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga. DewMaga tried to gain the upper hand attacking The Dustytaker before the bell rang. Once inside the ring, The Rochester Bulldozer once again fell prey to a thunderous chokeslam and Dustytaker once again got the victory. Rumor has it that after the match Dewey said that he wasn't done with The Dustytaker and that he wouldn't rest until he put him away once and for all. What does Dewey mean, and what could he possibly have in store for the Dustytaker? Hopefully we'll have more on this in the coming weeks.
Main Show
NWA Upstate Six-Man Champions The Latin Soldiers defeated Spazz, Mark Krieger, & Chip Stetson
The Latin Soldiers (Luis Whiteshoes, Maximo Suave, & Stargazer), who won the Six-Man Trophy at Holiday Hangover, made their first defense of the trophy a successful one against the unpredictable psycho from the Shady Acres Mental Institute and his two mystery partners, Mark Krieger and Chip Stetson, who were both former Upstate Six-Man champions themselves. The champions isolated Spazz and hit a powerbomb/neckbreaker combo with Maximo getting the pin. It looks as if Whiteshoes & Maximo, who feuded for most of last year, are on the same page and the trio from Puerto Rico have gelled very well as a team.
Gabe Saint & NWA Upstate No Limits Champion Cheech defeated CloudLee ("One Hit Wonder" Cloudy & "The Right Stuff" Brodie Lee)
This was a special challenge match made from Holiday Hangover when CloudLee interrupted Gabe & Cheech after their title match. Back and forth match that saw some miscommunication with Saint & Cheech as Saint accidentally hit Cheech thinking he was Cloudy. Saint apologized, but the No Limits Champion wouldn't hear it, leaving the ring and walking out on his partner. Despite the 2-on-1 advantage, CloudLee couldn't put The Bull of Black Mountain away. Frustrated with themselves and the referee, Brodie Lee went after referee Andrew Mollon and he and Cloudy were going to give him the Cloudy Killer (powerbomb/lungblower combo). But Saint hit Cloudy as he strattled the top turnbuckle and had enough left to rollup Brodie Lee for the three-count. Saint overcame the odds to get the win, but one has to wonder if the respect he had for his partner is still there?
Sweet Lou (w/Col. Johnny Kayfabe) defeated "The Exceptional Icon" Eric Everlast
This match was demanded by Eric Everlast after Sweet Lou decided to "go back to his roots" and team up with Rhythm & Booze at Holiday Hangover instead of Everlast & Triple X in their defense of the Six Man Trophy. Much to Everlast's and the fans' surprise, Col. Johnny Kayfabe came out with Sweet Lou and was instrumental in the victory. Everlast seemingly had the match in hand when Col. Kayfabe distracted the referee, Super Assassin and Triple X came out and attacked Eric Everlast. The interference along with a vicious spear equaled a victory for Sweet Lou. Super Assassin & Triple X, upset with Everlast for turning on them and costing them the Six-Man Trophy at Holiday Hangover, gained a small measure of revenge for Everlast's actions. Suffice to say the loss has not sit well The Exceptional Icon and there's no doubt somewhere down the road he'll be looking to even the score with his former partners.
Tag Team Champions Rhythm & Booze defeated The Ring Crew Express in a Lynchburg Death Match
This was the much anticipated, first time ever Lynchburg Death Match and the culmination of a bitter rivalry between two of the best teams in Upstate. It was an anything goes, falls-count-anywhere street fight that will go down as one of the bloodiest, most violent matches in Upstate history. Everything from ladders to belts to bullropes to hay bales were used as all four men beat the hell out of each other. Even Col. Kayfabe wasn't safe as he took a spear from Nikki Jett and brutal guitar shot from Marcos. Sweet Lou, though, came out as he helped pull Dunn out toward the aisle where Buddy Delmar smashed a beer bottle over Dunn's head! Back inside, Delmar & Frank The Tank continued their assault tying up Marcos with the bullropes to the ringposts so Marcos couldn't escape. Frank hit Marcos with their Confederate Crunch (top rope splash) to get the pin. The champs from Lynchburg retained their gold, but how much did the win take out of them and The Ring Crew Express?
"D To The Icky" Dicky Sanchez & "The Havana Pitbull" Ricky Reyes defeated 2CW's Slyck Wagner Brown & "Hurricane" John Walters by disqualification
The match between D To The Icky and Ricky Reyes was interrupted by the 2CW contingent, who were going to make an impact and answer the challenge laid down by NWA Upstate owner Hellcat from 2 weeks ago. It started with Zachary Springate grabbing the mic and proclaiming that wrestling had finally come back to Rochester. Springate went on to rundown Upstate and its fans and put over Slyk as "wrestling's best kept secret" and said that Walters could wrestle circles around anyone in Upstate. Well The Boss had heard enough as Hellcat came out. Hellcat said that since 2CW wanted to make an impact and that Dicky & Reyes were pissed off that their match was interrupted, he would put them in a tag match with Slyk/Walters vs. Dicky/Reyes. Hellcat also said that since Springate and Love didn't have managers' licenses, neither of them could be at ringside and security escorted both Springate and Love out of the building. As for the match, Brown and Walters were in control until both men got frustrated and shoved down referee Andrew Mollon forcing the DQ. Slyk and Walters continued their attack on D To The Icky until Reyes chased both men off with a steel chair. So it was Upstate who came out on top against 2CW, but is this the last we've heard from the rival promotion out of Syracuse?
NWA National Heavyweight Champion Pepper Parks defeated Cody Deaner
Another back and forth match that was a good showing by Deaner as he came close on several occassions of becoming the new champion. But a rollup by Parks with his feet on the ropes for leverage and "The Patrick Swayze of Professional Wrestling" retained his title. The champion's tactics are definitely questionable and haven't sit well with the fans. But one can't argue his success as he comes into the new year with a lot of momentum. Deaner, who was once hated by the fans, has definitely turned over a new leaf and received in a nice ovation from the fans for his efforts.
NWA Empire Tag Team Champions The McCloud Brothers defeated Super Assassin & Triple X
The McCloud Brothers made their first defense of the Empire Tag Team Titles a successful one against two-thirds of the former Upstate Six-Man Tag Team Champions. The brothers from Boston were in sync throughout the match while the challengers were anything but. The masked duo did take control and scored a few near-falls, but the champions rebounded and hit Triple X with the Boston Massacre (double-team lungblower) to get the win. The fighting Irishmen continued their winning ways and have a lot of momentum in their quest to become Upstate Tag Team Champions.
"The Notorious BCL" Big Cat Lemmer defeated Coconut Jones
Suffice to say, The Notorious BCL was not in a good mood and it showed here as he made quick work of Coconut Jones, winning with the BCL Driver (Death Valley Driver). Lemmer didn't seem too happy with his competition, or lack thereof, and rumor has it he let Upstate officials know about it after the match. We'll keep an eye out on this situation in the weeks to come.
NWA Upstate World Heavyweight Champion Jimmy Olsen defeated "Fabulous" John McChesney (w/Star Rider) and Danny Doring in a triple threat match
This was the main event pitting the champion against two of his top contenders, one a former Upstate champion in Doring, the other being the man who felt he would've been champion in McChesney had in not been for Doring's interference. This one saw all three men go at it tooth and nail. In the end, it was Olsen who knocked Doring to the outside, leaving him alone with McChesney. McChesney went for his Fabulous Fallout but Olsen countered hitting his overbomb/piledriver combo to get the pin. Olsen retained the Upstate World Title but one has to wonder which man, Fabulous and/or Doring, will be looking to get a rematch for the gold.
Thank you to everyone who packed into the Minett Hall for Saturday's night show.
We will have results and pictures going up in the next few days, but some things we DID find out...

IWS Praise the Violence Preview and Bloodstream Web Show
Mayhem at the Medley
Long-time fans of the IWS know that it is our shows at the Medley where we stake our claim to being the best hardcore wrestling promotion in Canada and one of the best in the world. The Medley is where our blood beats faster, where we jump higher, where we dare more. It is the canvas where we dare to dream. On January 26th, we do it again, when we return to the Medley for Praise the Violence.
We first started this tradition back in 2001 with a show named, curiously enough, Praise the Violence. This show saw PCP Crazy F’N Manny forced to fight twice in one night in order to achieve his dream of becoming the IWS Champion. (Beating then champion Nixon Stratus - IWS trivia fans.)
Seven years later and history repeats itself, only this time it is PCP Crazy F’N Manny who is champion, and it is he who is forcing his challengers to fight and destroy each other before getting a shot at his belt.
Four men will face off hoping to win the privilege of fighting a rested and prepared Manny in his specialty – an IWS Hardcore match. These four men, each with his own reasons for wanting to become the next IWS champion, are: IWS Canadian Champion Max Boyer, former IWS champion Franky the Mobster, former IWS champion Kevin Steen and former WWE tag team champion Sylvain Grenier.
Our preview show Bloodstream can be seen here:

IWS Hardcore Title Match:
IWS Champion PCP Crazy F’N Manny vs. the winner of the 4-Way match
*******************
Detailed Preview
It is said that the root of all evil is the love of gold. In the IWS, the root of all evil, the source of all the bad blood is caused by the love of IWS Gold. Consider the grievances of Beef Wellington, Lufisto and Twiggy - each rooted in their quest for the ultimate IWS prize.
At Breakout 2006, Beef Wellington intervened on Viking’s behalf forcing IWS Owner PCP Crazy F’N Manny to restart the match between Viking and then champion EXesS after trying to swindle Viking with a crooked quick count. Once Viking was champion, Beef figured that he would get a courtesy title shot from the new champion, but that courtesy never came. After nearly a year and a half, Beef snapped during Blood, Sweat and Beers 2007 and interfered in an IWS title match again, this time costing Viking the belt and making PCP Crazy F’N Manny the IWS Champion.
Having driven Viking out of the IWS, Beef comes to Praise the Violence with his thirst for revenge against Viking unquenched. And with no Viking around, Beef has decided to target Viking’s family, namely his brother Kenny the Bastard. But if Beef thinks that Kenny will be a pushover, he may be in for quite a surprise. Toughness runs in Kenny’s family and frankly so does an odd Quebec form of insanity. Kenny may be the smaller brother, but he is just as tough and twice as crazy as Viking - which Beef may find out to his cost.
Twiggy was poised to become the IWS Champion when 2.0 rushed to save their “Uncle Manny” just in the nick of time. The normally happy-go-lucky Air Guitar Hero of the IWS has nursed a grievance ever since. At Praise the Violence, Twiggy looks to make a statement at the expense of Jagged and Shane Matthews with the help from the ultimate fashion statement when you are looking to kick some ass: the woman the Japanese call “The Mountain” Vanessa Kraven.
They were the Royal Couple of Canadian Wrestling: Sexxxy Eddy and Lufisto, the Missionaries of Violence. They were dynamite in bed; they were dynamite in the ring. But before they could win their first title as a team, something came between them: the other woman, Sexxxy Eddy’s sexxxy valet and co-star Hottie Hollie. At Season’s Beatings 2007, after repeatedly making sure that there will never, ever be a PCP Crazy F’N Manny Jr., Lufisto was poised to win the IWS Title when Sexxxy Eddy’s music hit and Hottie Hollie came out distracting the ref long enough to help Manny win the match. Hell has no fury like a Lufisto scorned – as Eddy and Hollie are about to find out!
(I am now contractually obligated to point out that you can see Hottie Hollie in action at her web-site http://www.hottiehollie.com I should also probably say that that site is incredibly NSFW, but I would have thought that was obvious. In case you were wondering: contractually obligated = Eddy will kick my ass if I don’t.)
No match may be harder to call than the three-way Tag Team Title match. Cheech and Cloudy earned their shot by beating the former champions 2.0 and have had memorable and competitive battles with the Champions, the Super Smash Brothers, in the past. Jimmy Stone and Dan Paysan earned their title shot by beating (but not pinning) Player Uno and Stupefied. Dan Paysan has a history of success against both Player Uno and Stupefied as a singles competitor. Will he able to translate that history of success into IWS Tag Team gold?
Put ten IWS superstars into a Gauntlet match and you will see something memorable. But promise the winner a future shot at the IWS Title, stock that match with former champions like EXesS and the Green Phantom, IWS veterans longing for a shot like Kid Kamikaze and Fred la Merveille and hungry rookies like the arrogant Samson and the gothic daredevil Jimmy K, throw in a little mystery and sprinkle with… ok who’s the joker that put Shit Hawke in this match? The last thing we need is that annoying wind-bag maudit roux winning the IWS Title.
Sylvain Grenier, Maxime Boyer, Kevin Steen and Franky the Mobster. Four very different wrestlers who claim to have four very different motivations. Sylvain Grenier wants to prove that he is the King of Quebec Wrestling. Maxime Boyer wants to prove that he is the best technical wrestler in Canada. Franky the Mobster wants to be taken seriously. And Kevin Steen, Steen wants to kill Manny and if the only way that he gets to do that is to win the IWS Title, well that’s a bonus.
Steen may wear his emotions on his sleeve, but the truth is the fire in his eyes is no different than in those of Grenier or of Boyer. Even Franky the Mobster, when no one is looking, backstage when he allows his Joker fa็ade to drop, when he looks at Manny’s IWS belt, I promise you in his eyes, there is fire, there is desire, there is a love of Gold. Kevin Steen may be Franky’s best friend, but if I were Kevin, I would no more turn my back on Franky than I would on Sylvain, than I would on Boyer.
The one thing that these four men have in common is that there is nothing that they would not do to earn a shot at the IWS Title.
And no one knows that better than the man who has arranged for them to play demolition derby with their own bodies, the better to give him a chance to keep his precious title. His name is PCP Crazy F’N Manny, and for better or worse, he is our IWS Champion.
In the IWS, the root of all evil holds the Gold.
