Summer Sizzler 2004 Rematch:
"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles vs. "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels
vs. "The Notorious 187" Homicide
Originally, the main event of Night One: A Tribute To Spirit was
supposed to be a rematch of the 2004 Match of the Year, AJ Styles vs.
Christopher Daniels. Whenever "The Notorious 187" Homicide heard of
this, he contacted IWC officials about being inserted into the match.
His reasoning? He felt that the IWC fans were wrong, and the REAL 2004
Match of the Year was the match 3 months later where Homicide, Daniels,
and Styles wrestled in a three-way dance. In April of 2004, Homicide
took then-Super Indy Champion Styles to the limit in his IWC debut. He
gave Styles everything he had, even an incredible Cop Killa. But Styles
was able to rebound and rolled up Homicide for the win. The next month,
Styles had his final title defense against Daniels. One of the greatest
matches in IWC history saw both men put it all on the line, and it only
ended when Styles nailed the Styles Clash for the victory. The
following August was the three-way dance. In that match, Homicide was
eliminated first by Styles, but the two brawled for several minutes
afterwards until IWC security separated them. Styles ended up winning
in the end, once again pinning Daniels. Two weeks later, Styles and
Homicide had a Respect Match. Homicide brought the fight to the former
champion, but Styles was on a hot streak in 2004 and got the win once
again. Daniels and Styles have had many wars over the last 3 years, but
Homicide never got his revenge on either man. These three have feuded
over tag gold in TNA but this will be the first time all three are
wrestling each other since their first match in 2004!

Non-Title Match
The 2006 Feud of the Year Revisited:
Low Ki vs. "Fabulous" John McChesney
It's been called one of the greatest ri valries in IWC history. It
started off as a young up-and-coming star named "Fabulous" John
McChesney trying to win his first Super Indy tournament on April 29th
2005. His opponent on that night was on a tear. He not only destroyed
rookie Jason Gory in the opening round, but he got the victory over his
trainer and mentor, "The Notorious 187" Homicide, in the second round.
Nothing could stop Low Ki on this night. That is, except his own
overconfidence. He locked McChesney in a cobra clutch, but McChesney
scaled the ropes, fell backwards, and Ki held on, pinning his own
shoulders to the mat. McChesney had done it, he cemented himself in the
upper echelon of IWC stars, becoming the sixth man to hold the IWC
Super Indy Title, and only the 4th to win the Super Indy Tournament.
Ten months later, both men met one more time. This time, McChesney was
the confident champion, sure that he could overcome the one man he had
the most trouble defeating in the past year. Unfortunately, once
McChesney got hung up in the ropes and Ki delivered the Woe Is U double
stomp, that was it for the champ. Ki defeated him for the Super Indy
Title that slipped out of his grasp less than one year before. The
following July, it was time for the so-called "rubber match". Each man
had one victory over the other. McChesney was out to prove to himself,
the fans, and the world that he was on the same level as men like Low
Ki. With Ki several moments away from possibly winning the match, the
bell rang, signaling the time limit had expired. Neither man came out
on top, leaving their series tied at 1-1-1. Low Ki promised that they
would meet once more. December 9th, 2006 was that once more. The night
of the event, both men had agreed to make the match a decisive 2 out of
3 falls match. Or so they thought. With both men one fall up on the
other, then-Unholy Alliance members Sebastian Dark & HENTAI rushed the
ring to ruin the party, leaving the match at a no-contest. The match,
like their series, left both men at one win, one loss, and one draw a
piece. One year later, their rivalry will finally come to a head. As
promised by IWC Promoter Norm Connors, IWC Super Indy Champion
"Fabulous" John McChesney will have to take on Low Ki on December 7th,
night one of IWC's A Call To Arms weekend. How fitting is it, at IWC's
100th show celebration, that we revisit one of IWC's biggest and best
rivalries in the company's history?

Special Attraction Tag Team Match:
The Motor City Machine Guns vs. The Burning River Brigade
Three former IWC Champions and one of the top contenders to the Super
Indy Title at one point will be competing in this tag match! The Motor
City Machine Guns of Alex Shelley & former Super Indy Campion Chris
Sabin take on former IWC Tag Team Champions Josh Prohibition &
"M-Dogg20" Matt Cross, the Burning River Brigade! Sabin & Shelley,
former IWC regulars and finalists in Super Indy III, have put aside
their differences and teamed up to form one of the best tag teams to
come along in years. They were able to capture the Zero-One Max Tag
Team Titles in Japan, as well as the UWA Hardcore Tag Team Titles in
Canada, and the AAW Tag Team Titles in the Chicago area. No team in
recent memory has been as successful as quickly as the Motor City
Machine Guns. But, two men have taken exception to their quick rise in
tag team success. Josh Prohibition & Matt Cross have been climbing
through the tag ranks across the world for years, and captured the IWC
Tag Team Titles on 2 different occasions. They're considered to be one
of the best teams in IWC history and want to prove to the "MMGs" and
any wrestling fans who doubt them that not only are they one of the
best in IWC history, but in wrestling history period.

One of IWC's Most Brutal & Bloody Feuds Renewed :
Shirley Doe vs. Sebastian Dark
Shirley Doe made his return to IWC in grand fashion at November Pain 2
on November 11th. Helping his longtime friend & rival Super Hentai and
friend Delirious in what appeared to be a handicapped match with
members of the War Machine, Brent Albright, John McChesney, and
Sebastian Dark. Doe and Dark immediately went after one another,
brawling in the aisleway, and later, going after each other with
chairs. Doe nailed Dark in the head with a chair, and finished him off
with the Sillyhead 2. Later in the night, Doe made a huge impact to War
Machine leader and Doe's longtime rival Dennis Gregory. He revealed
Gregory's December 8th opponent to be "The Baddest Man in IWC" Raymond
Rowe! Doe has come back with a vengeance and his old rival Sebastian
Dark is in the cross hairs! The wars between Doe and Dark have been
well documented over the years. Dark mysteriously came to IWC with the
intentions of destroying Dark. But a year after their rivalry seemed to
come to an end, Dark & Hentai joined with Doe as a part of the original
Unholy Alliance, leaving the last 2 years of war between the three men
a total mystery to everybody. But now that Doe has returned and Dark is
aligned with his enemy Dennis Gregory, all bets are off and Doe is out
for blood!

Non-Title Four-Way Tag Scramble :
The Gambino Brothers vs. BabyFace Fire vs. Sexual Harassment vs. The
Cleveland Mafia
One of IWC's biggest attractions in the last 2 years has been its
incredible tag team division. And, it all started with these four
teams. IWC Tag Team Champions The Gambino Brothers went from a moving
company to a dangerous Italian family with an equally dangerous
ringside entourage in Jimmy DeMarco, Vendetta, Viki Gambino, Flexor,
and Ferrari. They've captured the IWC Tag Titles for a record-equaling
4 times and have dominated the tag division for the last 2-3 years and
plan on continuing their dominance through IWC's 100th show
celebration. Longtime rivals Shiima Xion & Jason Gory put aside their
differences and united based on an equal respect for the others'
abilities. They overcame the odds and captured the IWC Tag Team Titles
last December in another four-way tag scramble over the same three
teams they face on December 7th, and get one more shot on December 8th.
The IWC tag team dynasty known as Sexual Harassment made their return
on August 5th, 2006 as Eric Xtasy returned to IWC with his new partner,
Justin Idol. After a year and a half of fun and games, Xtasy & Idol
have finally gotten a new intensity about themselves and are more
focused than ever. The Cleveland Mafia are one of IWC's most brutal and
boisterous tag teams. With the brains of J-Rocc and the brawn of
Raymond Rowe, they've been taking over IWC one victory at a time. And
the night after the tag scramble, Rowe gets his shot at singles glory
as he takes on IWC Champion Dennis Gregory in a steel cage. IWC's tag
team scene has been unbelievable and incredible, and it only gets
better on December 7th!

First Time in IWC :
"The Havana Pitbull" Ricky Reyes vs. Davey Richards
Two of the hardest hitting men on the IWC roster will step inside the
squared circle on December 7th. "The Havana Pitbull" Ricky Reyes will
take on IWC newcomer Davey Richards! These men have had run-ins on the
West Coast, where both Reyes and Richards got their start. But this
will be a first-time one-on-one match in IWC! The former IWC Champ
Reyes is looking to get back into title contention following his series
of matches with number one contender "The Baddest Man in IWC" Raymond
Rowe. Richards, who will be wrestling only his third match in his IWC
career, is right in the thick of the Super Indy Title scene. With the
incredible action and depth of the contenders to the Super Indy Title,
and Richards being only 3 matches into his IWC career, this shows you
how much of an incredible athlete and wrestler Davey Richards really
is! But he can't look past Reyes. Reyes has beaten men in IWC such as
Low Ki, Ray Rowe, Troy Lords, Larry Sweeney, Alex Shelley, Brent
Albright, and many many more. This is sure to be a stand-out match on
December 7th!

Super Indy V vs. Super Indy VI Winners :
Delirious w/ Daizee Haze vs. "Sweet N Sour" Larry Sweeney
This will be the first time meeting in IWC between these two men! In
April 2006, Delirious went through Glenn Spectre, Matt Sydal, and Troy
Lords to win the Super Indy V tournament. He held the title until
November of that year, defeating such men as John McChesney,
Christopher Daniels, and Lords. He continues to be one of the most
popular performers on the IWC roster. Larry Sweeney won Super Indy VI
in May 2007, defeating Jay Lethal, Azrieal, and Shiima Xion to win the
tournament and become the champion. He was able to hold onto the title
for only a month, succumbing to unfortunate circumstances, being cost
the title by John McChesney and Dennis Gregory of the War Machine. On
Saturday December 8th, Sweeney will get his rematch for the title
inside a steel cage. But the night before, he must go through the
former champion, who defeated McChesney on several occasions!

2006 Match of the Year Revisited :
"Balls Hot" Troy Lords vs. Super Hentai
Yet another IWC Match of the Year will be revisited at A Tribute To
Spirit. Last year, at November Pain 2, "Balls Hot" Troy Lords battled
it out with his rival, Super Hentai (then known only as HENTAI). With
his pride on the line against his former mentor, Lords rose to the
occasion and, with a top rope brainbuster, defeated the former member
of the Unholy Alliance. One year passed, and HENTAI was kicked to the
wayside by the War Machine when Dennis Gregory took over. But, as he
was beaten down by War Machine members Brent Albright & Sebastian Dark
at Revengeance 4!, who came to the save but Troy Lords. But Hentai
didn't take kindly to the help of "The Hotness" and the two came to
blows before long. The next month, one year removed from their Match of
the Year, at November Pain 3, Lords was attacked by War Machine members
Dark, Albright, and John McChesney before Hentai led a group of IWC
troops to the ring. What will happen when these two top IWC stars face
off once again? Will it be a hate-fueled battle like their November
Pain 2 match? Or will it be a respectful match in the human game of
chess?

Belltime: 5:00 PM

IWC World Heavyweight Title Steel Cage Match:
Dennis Gregory defends against "The Baddest Man in IWC" Raymond Rowe
Dennis Gregory's reign of terror over IWC began in May when he revealed
his true intentions to everybody. He screwed Ricky Reyes out of the IWC
Title and, along with "The Shooter" Brent Albright, formed what would
eventually be called The War Machine. A month later, he brought back
Unholy Alliance members Steven Colter and Sebastian Dark, who were
fired from IWC in December 2006. Then, later that night, he completed
the five-some by adding "Fabulous" John McChesney. Their reign over IWC
has been one of dominance. Adding CJ Sensation to the ranks in August
did nothing more than solidify their spot on top of IWC. But one man
has been forging through the war. Raymond Rowe has exploded onto the
scene as one of the most popular IWC stars in the past year. He's done
battle with Ricky Reyes to earn his shot at Dennis Gregory and the IWC
title, but it was believed he'd earned his title shot AFTER the
December double-shot. But Shirley Doe revealed to Gregory and the world
that he had somehow arranged for Rowe to get his shot at Gregory sooner
than expected: inside the steel cage at A Call To Arms 4: Controlled
Chaos!

"The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe vs. 2 Cold Scorpio
Originally, "The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe was set to take
on "The Baddest Man in IWC" Raymond Rowe on December 8th at A Call To
Arms 4: Controlled Chaos. When Rowe defeated Ricky Reyes and became the
number one contender to the IWC World Heavyweight Title, that all
changed. Samoa Joe was still booked for December 8th, but he had no
opponent. He contacted IWC's offices, enraged because he was looking
forward to taking Rowe to the limit and having a great wrestling match,
like their July 7th encounter. IWC Promoter Norm Connors met with other
IWC officials and they decided to sign a former WWE, WCW, and ECW star
to take on Joe. A man who would no-doubt provide him with incredible
competition, a fantastic match, and a man the IWC crowd has expressed a
desire to see compete for IWC. IWC has officially signed... Samoa Joe
vs. 2 Cold Scorpio! Fans may know Scorpio as a former WCW Tag Team
Champion with his partner, a young Marcus "Buff" Bagwell. He is a
former 4-time ECW Television Champion and former ECW Tag Team Champion
with The Sandman. He is a former 2-time GHC Tag Team Champion for the
NOAH promotion in Japan. And he is a former WWE star known to many as
Flash Funk. However, Scorpio is best known as one of the forefathers of
the aerial style seen all throughout wrestling today. His incredible
in-ring style had never been seen across America before Scorpio stepped
in the ring. Anytime you see a 450 Splash and a Tumbleweed (top rope
corkscrew legdrop), Scorpio is the man who brought it to the forefront
in professional wrestling. Still currently active across the US and
Europe, Scorpio will be making his IWC debut at A Call To Arms 4:
Controlled Chaos!

IWC Super Indy Title Steel Cage Match:
"Fabulous" John McChesney defends against "Sweet N Sour" Larry Sweeney
The feud between John McChesney and Larry Sweeney began at Super Indy
VI. Larry Sweeney had just gone through Jay Lethal, Azrieal, and Shiima
Xion on his way to becoming the Super Indy VI winner and IWC Super Indy
Champion. All of a sudden, "The Fabulous One" appeared at ringside,
attempting to spoil the victory of the new champion. Obsessed with the
Super Indy gold, McChesney was incensed that Sweeney had won the title
and he hadn't. He demanded a shot at the title at the next IWC event,
and he got it. Sweeney defended the belt against McChesney in July at
Summer Sizzler 4 when Dennis Gregory hit the ring and bloodied Sweeney.
That set in motion a series of events that led to Sweeney losing the
Super Indy Title to McChesney. One month later, McChesney and Sweeney
did battle in a baseball bat match, where McChesney once again cheated
to win. Sweeney returned to IWC in November in a three-way dance to
determine who would earn a shot at McChesney on December 8th. Davey
Richards wanted to get revenge at McChesney for the events in his title
match at Revengeance 4! in October, and Justin Idol was looking to
break out into the IWC singles scene. But Sweeney had blood on his
mind. Sweeney was the one with the most to gain, and after a 12 Large
Elbow to Idol, he earned his shot. Sweeney demanded that his title
match be held inside the 15-foot-high steel cage to stop any
interference from the War Machine, and IWC Promoter Norm Connors
granted it! Will Sweeney get his revenge on McChesney? Or will
"Fabulous" prove he really is as good as he says he is?

IWC Tag Team Title Steel Cage Match:
The Gambino Brothers defend against BabyFace Fire
Mickey & Marshall Gambino and Jason Gory & Shiima Xion have been at war
for months. After The Gambinos lost their Tag Team Titles to BabyFace
Fire in the four-way scramble at A Call To Arms 3 in December 2006,
they seem to have put a bullseye on BFF. They won the titles back in
March and have dominated the tag division since then. All throughout
8-man tags and more, the Gambinos seem to dominate BFF no matter what
situation they're put into. In August, the Gambinos defeated BabyFace
Fire, but during a champagne celebration, BFF attacked them and poured
champagne all over Viki Gambino. This proved to be a big mistake, as
Marshall then smashed a bottle over the face of Xion. Two months later,
BFF looked for revenge against members of The Family, the Hollywood
Balds. After Shiima Xion got the win, the Gambinos hit the ring with a
billy club. Jimmy DeMarco & Vendetta went a little overboard,
brutalizing both men with the billy club until senior official Bobby
Williams suspended Vendetta for 60 days. In probably the most
disgusting act, DeMarco, Marshall, Viki, and Flexor invaded the home of
Jason Gory on Halloween, attacked Gory and his friends, and bloodied &
tazed Gory on his own pool table. At November Pain 3, BFF and the
Gambinos did battle in a street fight. The Gambinos proved their
brutality, destroying BFF in a pile of thumbtacks. But their
overzealous cousin Jimmy DeMarco proved to be more of a nuisance than
anything. The Gambinos refused to grant BFF a tag title match inside
the steel cage on December 8th. But when Jimmy D remained in the ring
to continue using a tazer on Gory & Xion, Gory was able to take the
tazer and hold DeMarco "ransom" of sorts. Gory demanded the cage match
of else there'd be a "death in The Family". The Gambinos granted it,
and Gory got a measure of revenge and tazed DeMarco anyways! The war
will finally come to an end on December 8th inside the steel cage!

"Double C" Claudio Castagnoli vs. "The Shooter" Brent Albright
Back in October, Claudio Castagnoli had a shot at the IWC World
Heavyweight Champion Dennis Gregory. It was a hard-fought match-up
between the two men, and Castagnoli came very close to capturing the
title. However, Gregory was able to roll him up and pin him with a
small package. After the match, Gregory attacked IWC ring announcer
Chuck Roberts with a chair, injuring his vocal chords, and the IWC
locker room emptied. Several members of the War Machine stable
attempted to save Gregory, but were run off by members of the IWC
locker room, and Castagnoli, who went after all the men with a chair.
Claudio will take on one of the members of the War Machine, the hired
assassin Brent Albright. Castagnoli and Albright have done battle in
other promotions in the past few months, and each time, it's been
called a "match of the night" contender. With pride on the line here,
you know it'll be an explosive situation inside the ring!

Sexual Harassment vs. Southern Comfort
Justin Idol and Eric Xtasy are back on track. After several shaky
months, unsure which direction to go, Idol & Xtasy are on the same
page. Idol attempted to branch out into singles competition in November
while Xtasy returned to his roots and hosted the return of the All Male
Revue. After Idol's attempt at singles action was impressive, yet
unsuccessful, Xtasy hit the ring to let Idol know he was focused and
would be by his partner's side. The duo went on later that night to
defeat former IWC Tag Team Champions Facade & Gargano with the Rose
Creeper. With that victory behind them, they're looking ahead to IWC's
huge A Call To Arms weekend. On Friday night, December 7th, they take
on IWC Tag Team Champions The Gambino Brothers, and former champions
BabyFace Fire and The Cleveland Mafia in a non-title four-way dance. On
Saturday night, they take on the returning former tag team champions
Tracy Smothers & Chris Hamrick, collectively known as Southern Comfort.
Looking back on the IWC Tag Team Title history, only six teams have
held the IWC Tag Team Titles since mid-2005: Southern Comfort, the
Gambino Brothers, the Burning River Brigade of Josh Prohibition &
"M-Dogg20" Matt Cross, The Cleveland Mafia, BabyFace Fire, and Michael
Facade & Johnny Gargano. They might possibly be the first team to take
on 5 of the 6 teams on that list in a 2-month span, the most former
champions any team has faced in possibly the entire history of IWC!

Special Guest Referee: Glenn Spectre:
Delirious w/ Daizee Haze vs. "Showtime" Eric Young
Eric Young returns to IWC on December 8th! Hailing from his
"undisclosed location", Eric Young told IWC officials he would be in
attendance on December 8th and wanted a match with one of the top IWC
stars in the last few years. "Showtime" wanted to prove that he could
hang with some of the best IWC has to offer. Enter.... Delirious.
Delirious is a former IWC Super Indy Champion and the winner of the
Super Indy V tournament. He's defeated the likes of John McChesney,
Troy Lords, Matt Sydal, Glenn Spectre, and Christopher Daniels during
his Super Indy Title reign, and teamed up with Shirley Doe & Super
Hentai to defeat The War Machine on November 11th of this year. "The
Pied Piper of TNA" was one of the most popular performers who debuted
for IWC this year. On the other hand, Delirious was one of the most
hated men in 2006 IWC, but in recent months, he's proven to be one of
the IWC crowd's favorite wrestlers. Obviously, the match between this
two will border on the line of sane and ridiculous, but there is no
doubt these two will perform to the best of their ability. How will the
constantly paranoid Young react to the antics of the ridiculously crazy
man from the Edge of Sanity?! Throw into the situation, the returning
special guest referee, one of the oddest and charismatic men to enter
an IWC ring, Glenn Spectre! The former "Wonderman" will be calling the
action right down the middle, but everybody knows that Glenn can get
out of hand with his antics. Will that have an effect on the outcome?!

IWC Past, Present, & Future 8-Man Tag:
Orion, Facade, ???, & ??? vs. "Snapshot" CJ Sensation, Jimmy Vega$,
???, & ???
This HUGE 8-man tag only has three participants announced right now.
According to IWC officials, the other 5 wrestlers involved will be
announced on Friday December 7th. Orion is a former IWC Heavyweight
Champion, making his long-awaited return to wrestling after a 5-year
retirement. Facade is the most recent graduate of the Coalition of
Competition Wrestling School, which, while not affiliated with IWC, has
produced many IWC stars in recent years. Sensation has been petitioning
IWC officials and promoter Norm Connors about returnign to the ring,
and until now has been turned down, due to health risks involved with
Sensation's previously broken neck. But he gets his chance now at the
100th show celebration. Vega$, another former IWC Champion, makes his
return this weekend. A former prospect of WWE and OVW, Vega$ was the
first man to hold the IWC Heavyweight Title twice. With no word on who
the other participants in the match may be, this might be the most
chaotic and historic match on IWC's whole 100th Show Celebration
weekend!

PLUS:
"The Hardcore Icon" The Sandman
"The Franchise" Shane Douglas
and much much more!

Plus all the fun and surprises you've come to expect from IWC!!!
