Weekend Live Events this Fri, July 23 & Sat, July 24, West Paterson NJ: Day 2 of
Summer Sizzler this Saturday, July 24 features a double main event. There will be
an Open Challenge Match for IWF Heavyweight Title featuring Hi-Definition Chris Steeler. But will Steeler walk into

da Gioco" Interview Segment hosted by Commissioner Casino. Who will be the Special Guest to join Commissioner Casino?

Commissioner's Cup Tag Team Tournament
this Fri, June 25 & Sat, June 26, West Paterson NJ: "Imperial Dictatorship" Bruising Bookworm Frank
Scoleri and German Menace Kraig Stagg. Scoleri and Stagg are the reigning IWF Tag Team Champions, who have held a death-grip
on the titles for eight months. Can they bully their way with mind and body to add yet another prestigious award to
their trophy case? "CenterStage"
Juicy Justin Corino and Stellar Star Travis Blake, with valet Alissa. They are also former tag team champions and
the 2009 Commissioner's Cup Tournament winners. Will Travis and Justin repeat as winners and give Blake his fourth tournament
victory? "Illusion & Allure"
Damian Adams and IWF American Champion God's Gift Aaron Stride with Richard Ross. Last month, Ross returned as Stride's
business advisor and has teamed him up Adams. The money that comes along with the tournament trophy would certainly
bail Ross out of debt with Mr. Casino. "Demon
& Diamond" Kevin Knight and Dangerous Danny E. They unlikely duo are former tag team champions
having held the belts in 2004 and 2005, but no longer see eye to eye. The Championship Committee has reunited the team
much to their displeasure. Just how will they co-exist? "Fame & Fortune" Chachi and Mr. Casino. With Mr. Casino
aligning himself with the Latin Lover and former American Champion Chachi, this pairing is a sure bet to make some noise in
the high stakes competition. "Lethal
Injection" The Mastodon Franciz and Doctor Hurtz. Can lightning strike a third time for the 375-pound
Franciz who is looking to win his third tournament, this time with the returning Doctor Hurtz? Hurtz was one-half of
the first IWF Tag Team Championship duo in 2000 and 2001. These mad men are looking to dish out their opposition a prescription
for pain. Rounding out the field are the rookie pairings
of "The First-Team" Varsity Marc Corino and Austin Williams; and "Happy Trails"
Hush Holiday and Uncle Pat. Can one of these teams make history by becoming the first rookie combination to win
the tournament? The four winning First-Round tag teams advance to the Semifinal Round, to be held the following evening on Saturday, June 26. Then, the two winning tag teams from the Semifinal Round advance to the Tournament Finals on this same evening. The winning duo will be crowned Commissioner's Cup Tag Team Tournament winners. Also on Saturday, June 26, the IWF Heavyweight Championship will be defended by either Fady the Arabian Bull or Hi-Definition Chris Steeler. Just who will walk into Commissioner's Cup Day 2 with the top prize in the IWF? Commissioner's Cup contribution is $12 VIP Front Row, and $10 General Admission per event, and advance tickets are on-sale at WrestlingIWF.com. Tickets also available at the door 30-minutes before bell-time. Cards subject to change.
IWF Mayhem Weekend Live Events Friday,
May 21 & Saturday, May 22 Posted: May 18, 2010 (WEST PATERSON, NJ)- Independent Wrestling Federation live events return with Mayhem Weekend this Friday, May 21, 8:00 pm, and Saturday, May 22, 7:30 pm at IWF Centre, 32 Willow Way, West Paterson, NJ. With less talking and more wrestling, you will feel the energy of live IWF action. Day one May 21 features a Double Main Event as IWF Heavyweight Champion Kevin Knight defends against WWE prospect Fady The Arabian Bull in their first-ever, one-on-one battle. Last month at Reckless Abandon, Fady scored impressive wins over Damian Adams and Frank Scoleri, while Knight successfully retained the title against Aaron Stride. Can The Bull take the IWF’s top prize away from the Ring Demon in his first-ever crack at heavyweight gold? The IWF American Title is on the line as champion Chachi tangles with God's Gift Aaron Stride in their first-ever, one-on-one match. The popular Latin Lover has held the gold for five month, but Stride is looking to end Chachi’s party for good and add the American Title Belt to his bedroom of trophies. In a special IWF Tag Team Title Challenge Match, The Imperial Dictatorship, Bruising Bookworm Frank Scoleri and German Menace Kraig Stagg defend against the unlikely duo of Mr. Casino and Varsity Marc Corino. Casino was unceremoniously attacked by Stagg on the Eruption Webcast prior to the German Menace’s match with Corino. Will the odds be with the gambler and the rookie underdog on May 21, or will intellect and brute force prevail? In singles action, the energetic Travis Blake faces former IWF Heavyweight Champion Hi-Definition Chris Steeler; Hush Holiday meets loudmouth All Things Evan Schwartz; IWF Wrestling School Rookie Austin Williams wrestles evil magician Damian Adams; while Jana battles Alissa in a Ladies Match. Plus Mad Dawg Jenkins and more. Day 2 of Mayhem Weekend takes place Saturday, May 22, and is also topped by a Double Main Event as IWF Heavyweight Champion Kevin Knight has some unfinished business with God's Gift Aaron Stride. Will Knight enter this contest still with the heavyweight title, or will this contest be for Stride’s new American Title if luck goes his way the previous evening? IWF Tag Team Champions Bruising Bookworm Frank Scoleri and German Menace Kraig Stagg meet arch-rivals and former champions Travis Blake and Juicy Justin Corino. The Imperial Dictatorship won the belts from Blake and Corino last October and look to extend their seven-month reign of terror. IWF American Champion Chachi faces friend Mr. Casino in a battle to see who is the better man. Casino had several opportunities at the American Title in Triple Threat Matches, but now looks to size up Chachi one-on-one. The tension has been building for months and for the first-time-ever, one-on-one, Hi-Definition Chris Steeler grapples with former Ross Family associate Damian Adams. Both men place the blame with the other as to the destruction of the Ross Family. Now they take to the ring to settle their long-standing differences. In singles action, Fady The Arabian Bull wages war with the 350-pound mastodon Franciz; and Varsity Marc Corino looks to shut up All Things Evan Schwartz. Plus the return of Richard Ross, Mad Dawg Jenkins, Jana, Alissa and more. There will be a Raffle at each event for a Family 4-Pack of passes to Hershey Park in Pennsylvania courtesy of Champion Nutrition. Mayhem contribution is $12 VIP Front Row, and $10 General Admission per event, and advance tickets are on-sale at WrestlingIWF.com. Tickets also available at the door 30-minutes before bell-time. Cards subject to change.
