Inter-Species Wrestling Press Release:



For Immediate Release:

Event after event, year after year - we continue to use the same tired old press release method. The cheesy jokes. The promos. The long, drawn out routine where we announce 1-2 matches a week until the full card is out. I've noticed that over time, these releases had seemingly become alot less popular amongst you people, my fellow wrestling fans. This time around - we're going to try to do this a little differently.

We'll still bring you the lame jokes and promos that (we assume) you love. And we're still going to draw the announcement of the full card out a little longer than we probably should. However - this one time, only - we're going to come right out and hit you with the big stuff first - so here it is.

Four HUGE[/b] matches signed for our March 3, 2007 event - SLAMTASIA!

-In our MAIN EVENT for the evening - The innovator of zombie lucha,Izzie Deadyet, challenges the drunk and disorderly champion -Viking- for his Inter Species Title in our first ever CASKET MATCH.[/i]

-Max Boyer will take on Michael Von Payton in what should end up being a match that has absolutely no business on an Inter Species Wrestling event. That's right. A good one.

-And making his return to Inter Species Wrestling after over a year's absence(a time period in which we held not one, but TWO whole ISW shows!) - former IWS, PWG, and CZW Ironman champion "Mr. Wrestling" Kevin Steen will face off one-on-one with our very own "8-bit Luchador" - Player Uno.

{{There are reasons that these 3 matches are happening(I'm just too lazy to type it all out at this moment) - so, keep your eyes peeled for more posts like this in the upcoming weeks to find out who will be doing what to who (and why) - when ISW presents "Slamtasia!" on March 3, 2007.}}

-And I guess I really can't leave you all promo-less, can I? We recently caught up with former ICWICWA Texarkana Television champion, Twiggy, and his pal Rikki Radcliff. They had some things they wanted to talk about - mainly our fourth match announcement, as Twiggy is set to once again take on Fred La Merveille. These two have faced off two times before in Inter Species Wrestling action, with Twiggy ending up on the losing end both times. A frustrated Twiggy has raised the stakes. Click on the following youtube video url to see what I'm talkin' about.

And that's all we've got for you at this time! See? It's that whole drawn out card release thing that we mentioned before. Well, take comfort in knowing that with 4 matches already announced, it's not going to be as long or drawn out as usual. We'll have more on the show for you next week!

Come on out! The details are all below! Admission is an extremely affordable $10. Tickets will be on sale at IWS' Violent Valentine event (February 17 - be there), as well as any other shows I, Mike Rotch, am present for.

Hope to see you there!

HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT AT SLAMTASIA?

That's right, folks. We're starting this edition of the ISW (looong, drawn out) press release off with a BANG! At Slamtasia - on March 3, 2007 - we will make a major announcement concerning Inter Species Wrestling, and it's future. Will it be good? Will it be bad? Will it be somewhere in the middle? I can't tell you here. Come to Slamtasia, or dial 1-900-909-9900, and find out for yourselves.

INTER SPECIES WRESTLING GETS GENERIC?

March 3, 2007 at Bogey's World will mark the Inter Species Wrestling debut of International wrestling sweetheart - El Generico. A former IWS champion, and current PWG tag champion, El Generico is one of the most well rounded wrestlers in independent wrestling today. His opponent for Slamtasia, is someone who is not as well known as Generico - but has been catching the attention of fans everywhere with every performance. Facing Generico at Slamtasia, in what should be a fast paced, high flying encounter - will be Zombified.

KID KAMIKAZE INVITATIONAL # 3!

He's beaten Darkstone, Sexxxy Eddy, Rip Impact, and Hydra - and apparently that's still not enough for Kid Kamikaze, as he has once again issued an open challenge for ISW's SLAMTASIA. We'll keep you posted.

THE BADD BOYS?

We have confirmed that Brad and Chad Badd - THE BADD BOYS - will be present at Slamtasia! What will they be doing? Who will the be doing it to? Looks like someone's in for a bad(d) day!

MORE TO COME!

We'll have more for you in a week's time. Including promos. The show is looking to be our best yet. Here's the rundown so far...

-MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT!
-The Badd Boys will be in the house!
-Kid Kamikaze Invitational # 3
-Twiggy vs. Fred La Merveille - Coal Miner's Glove match.
-Player Uno vs. Kevin Steen
-Zombified vs. El Generico

THE MOOHAMMAD/FLIP D. BERGER SAGA CONTINUES!?

That's right, folks. Apparently, being on the receiving end of a brutal beating, ending in a powerbomb onto a pile of Lego, wasn't enough for the young burger flipper, as he's actually issued another challenge to our beloved terrorist cow, Moohammad. This is news to us all, as this time around the challenge wasn't issued via web promo - it was sent straight to Moohammad, who then sent us this email to inform us of what's going on. He specifically requested that it be posted online, for all to see - so, without any further rambling....

"Put this on the internet for all of the infidels to see.

First of all, I would like to thank all my spies (aka the vegans) for all of their hard work. There will be a place for you all in paradise once we rid ourselves of the others. Speaking of “the others”, the war against the cancer of this planet (better known as humanity) is going very well. Every channel I turn to, I see humanity spiral further into a mass genocide. However, humanity’s desire to struggle on angers me! Case in point, Flip D. Berger. This minimum-waged low life challenged me to a barnyard brawl to defend my attacks on that murderous clown, Ronald McDonald, and he lost. Not only did he lose, I beat him halfway to the afterlife. But the kid wouldn’t accept defeat! My answering machine is full with Flip D. Berger challenges. My mailbox is flooded daily with menacing pictures of him defiling my brethren. In fact, I even have nightmares of a greasy, fat teenage boy with a horrible fashion sense beating me senseless with a meat cleaver. That’s going too far! Therefore, I am stepping aside from destroying humanity to destroy one little boy first.

Flip D. Berger, I once again accept your challenge. And this time, I’m bringing an army with me, so you’d better bring yours. That’s right. You want to invade my dreams? Well, then. It’s going to be a DREAM PARTNER TAG MATCH! See you at Slamtasia, pizza face! Where you, and whoever you choose as a partner, will suffer to the point of wishing it were all just a dream.

Thus spoke, Moooohammad."

'Nuff said?

HE HATE ME?

We also received word of an altercation between our resident retail retard, Giant Tiger, and Inter Species Wrestling lifetime achievement award winner - Beef Wellington. They were seen exchanging harsh words following this past Saturday's "IWS - Violent Valentine" event, which then broke down into a fistfight between the two. Apparently it was caught on film, and we will release this footage as soon as it is in our hands.

Much like Flip D. Berger and Moohammad, Beef and Tiger have quite the storied past here in Inter Species Wrestling. I don't want to recap it, because I'm lazy - but just know it's spanned almost 3 years!

Giant Tiger has been acting strangely ever since the incident after the IWS show. We DO have footage of that, so here it is.

FIRST VICTORY

Another match signed for SLAMTASIA, is a three way dance between Cairo's favourite son King Sphinx, "Triple X" Sexxxy Eddy, and that leaping lizard Kenny the Bastard. Neither of these 3 men have won a match thus far in their Inter Species Wrestling career. Meaning, someone will get their first win at Slamtasia, while the other 2 remain winless. Which is totally okay. Seriously. There's no shame in losing. I'm not laughing as I type this, at all!

This should make for an exciting encounter, that ISW management will be watching very closely.

INVITATIONAL STILL NOT ACCEPTED!

Kid Kamikaze's open challenge has not been accepted, as of present time. We've heard rumors, though, of a former champion here in Quebec showing some interest in the invitational. You'll know more, when we do!

PROMOS NEXT WEEK!

Folks, we've decided to rip off our good friends at the IWS and Chikara, by releasing the better part of our promos as a tv-show styled podcast next week. Fans without the overpriced portable media players - don't fret! We will also put the show up on youtube for your enjoyment. Fans without computers? You're not reading this anyway, so screw you!

Stay tuned folks! And here's the updated lineup!

-MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT!
-The Badd Boys will be in the house!
-Sexxxy Eddy vs. Kenny the Bastard vs. King Sphinx.
-Kid Kamikaze Invitational # 3
-Moohammad/?? vs. Flip D. Berger/?? - Dream partners tag team match
-Twiggy vs. Fred La Merveille - Coal Miner's Glove match.
-Player Uno vs. Kevin Steen
-Zombified vs. El Generico
-Max Boyer vs. Michael Von Payton
-Viking defends the Inter Species title against Izzie Deadyet - in a casket match.

And much, much more!

Hope to see you there!

KID KAMIKAZE INVITATIONAL - ACCEPTED!

That's right, guys and dolls! Probably mostly guys, since this IS a wrestling forum. Kid Kamikaze's third ever invitational has been accepted by former NWA British Commonwealth champion, Justin White. Justin, pictured below with trainer and mentor Dru Onyx, is a tremendous young up and comer - and this should make for one heck of an encounter!



THE GRUDGE WAS A CRAPPY MOVIE...

It's official. Just added to this Saturday's already packed show is a grudge match. Giant Tiger and Beef Wellington will be forced to settle their differences once and for all, in the middle of the Inter Species Wrestling ring (which is really just the IWS ring, which PCP Manny has been gracious enough to rent us. THANKS, UNCLE MANNY!). Should be...um...interesting?

Here is a little timeline, outlining their feud...

DEC 05: Giant Tiger eats garbage during a Beef interview. Beef is not amused. Giant Tiger then plans to interrupt a lifetime achievement award ceremony held for Beef - but is forced to work overtime and cannot make it.

MAY 06: Giant Tiger is naked, as he challenges Beef and Twiggy to a tag team match at "Processed Cheese."

JUNE 06: Giant Tiger and Fred La Merveille defeat Beef Wellington and Twiggy in the aforementioned tag match, when Giant Tiger prevents Beef from breaking the Merveille-lock, which Twiggy submitted to.

FEB 07: Beef Wellington sells Giant Tiger a shirt that is deemed "too big", forcing Giant Tiger to snap and murder people.

MARCH 07: It all ends.

AND THAT'S OUR SHOW!

Here is what we have in store for you all at SLAMTASIA - taking place THIS SATURDAY at Bogey's World in Montreal!

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT
-What will it be?! Any guesses?

The Badd Boys will be in the house
-The brothers Badd will be in attendance. For what, we don't know!

Sexxxy Eddy vs. King Sphinx vs. Kenny the Bastard
-One of these losers will become a winner!

Kid Kamikaze Invitational # 3
-Justin White accepts! Could he defeat Kid Kamikaze?

Grudge match - Giant Tiger vs. Beef Wellington
-Will Giant Tiger score one for the animals? Or will Beef overcome...umm...adversity?

Twiggy vs. Fred La Merveille - Coal Miner's Glove match.
-There's only been one in Quebec's history. Twiggy won it, but he is yet to defeat Fred in ISW.

Moohammad/?? vs. Flip D. Berger/?? - Dream partners tag match!
-Adding yet another chapter to ISW's most violent feud. Who will the partners be?

Player Uno vs. Kevin Steen
-Uno's biggest challenge to date. Can Uno beat the International superstar? Or will Steen, once again, Kill Uno?

Zombified vs. El Generico
-A zombie takes on a mexican in what many are prematurely calling ISW's MOTN.

Max Boyer vs. Michael Von Payton
-2 of the best wrestlers in the province go toe to toe.

Viking defends the Inter Species title against Izzie Deadyet - in a casket match.
-Llakor says this is Canada's first casket match. And we believe him!

I'm excited!

Hope to see you there!

*****************************************************

ISW Slamtasia Detailed Results

Slamtasia started with a three way dance that pitted three wrestlers against each other who have never won a match in ISW: Sexxxy Eddy, King Sphinx and Kenny the Bastard. When the referee called for the bell, Sexxxy Eddy challenged King Sphinx to a pose-off which climaxed with Eddy inviting a lucky fan into the ring so that he could strip for her. When King Sphinx tried to duplicate Eddy’s strip, he discovered that it is much harder to remove your clothes when you do not have tear-away pants. The pose-off ended at 4:30 with the ref calling for the bell a second time as Kenny the Bastard humped Eddy’s leg while King Sphinx tried to cut his pants loose with a pair of scissors.

When I got into wrestling journalism, somehow that was a sentence that I never envisaged writing.

Kenny dominated the match in the early going despite Eddy and King Sphinx trying to forge an alliance of convenience. Kenny was forced to watch Eddy as won the match, pinning King Sphinx with his Total Sexxxtasy, a reverse shooting star press, at 13:04 or 8:34 after the bell was rung the second time.

I feel compelled to warn anyone foolhardy enough to purchase this DVD when it comes out in a couple of weeks that you will be exposed to the mumblings of the world’s worst ring announcer in the entire world. I ought to know he is bad, I have to listen to his tone-deaf warblings every morning when I shower, and I see his ugly puss in my mirror every morning when I shave. You would think that the idiots at ISW would know how bad I am too, they have previously hired me and lived to regret it, but ISW owner, Mike Rotch, was so happy at the turnout for Slamtasia that he was oblivious to my warnings of impending doom. He confided in me that he only needed to sell 160 tickets to break even and have enough left over to buy a Nintendo Wii, and with 162 tickets sold, he had made his goal.

The Badd brothers, Chad Badd and Brad Badd continued their reign of terror in the ISW, physically dissecting Frank Mancini and Dirk Driggers, before ending the contest with the Badd Move, a double team catapult into a clothesline followed by the arrogant foot cover for the win at 3:31.

Kid Kamikaze won his Third Annual Kid Kamikaze Invitational with a roll-up on Justin White after 10:36. Chalk it up to a rookie error by the young Justin White, the NWA 2006 Rookie of the Year. On the other hand, credit the graduate of Dru Onyx’ Torture Chamber for pushing Kid Kamikaze to the limit and forcing the technical wizard to take advantage of the rookie mistake to eke out a win. The fans were so impressed that we conducted a poll to see if they wanted to see Justin White perform at Un F’N Sanctioned 2007 and the fans enthusiastically extended him an invitation to the Medley.

Beef Wellington got his revenge on Giant Tiger in lightning quick fashion, pinning his hated rival in 31 seconds with a simple shoulder tackle. While Beef was celebrating, Giant Tiger complained that he was not ready for the match. The discount store mascot persuaded Beef back into the ring by threatening to rape Beef’s father. The tasseled warrior looked to be in position to win the match for a second time, when a Bear ran out of the back wearing a CZW shirt and waving a chair. The entire ISW promotion was inspired by Beef Wellington’s historic match with “a Bear” in June of 2004 at V. Beef J. Wellington and a Bear were later tag team partners in CHIKARA as “BJ and the Bear”. Beef’s former tag team partner betrayed him on this occasion, decking Beef with the chair and forcing the ref to declare the match a no-contest at 5:59.

For their Mystery Dream Partners Tag Match, Flip D. Berger looked no further than the dumpster behind his fast food employer, recruiting Stinky the Homeless Guy. Moohammad, the Terrorist Cow aimed slightly higher, making a call to the home country for former World Heavyweight champion, the Iron Sheep to come out of retirement. Despite offering his partner decades of experience in the squared circle, the Iron Sheep’s ignorance of new trends in wrestling may have been his team’s downfall as When Animals Attack fell victim to Lady and the Tramp’s unscrupulous and illegal use of Lego to gain an unfair advantage. Flip finished off the Iron Sheep with an Apple Piledriver at 13:04.

A fan described the Iron Sheep as looking "like the spawned love child of Shane Storm and Lambchop the puppet!"

Fred la Merveille attacked me to begin the Coal Miner’s Glove match, so I was rooting for Twiggy to grab the glove and knock Fred’s lights out. Twiggy grabbed the glove first, starting a back and forth struggle for control of the glove which Twiggy won to take down Capitaine Quebec at 11:23. After the match, Twiggy, his tag-team partner Pornstar Juan and his manager, Rikki Radcliff celebrated Twiggy’s victory by lifting me onto their shoulders. This was completely unnecessary and rather undignified. For one thing, I am terrified of heights. Fred was lui-meme rather undignified about his loss, threatening to thrash me no matter how much I protested that I am not a wrestler. Fortunately, Twiggy came to my rescue giving Fred, and his valet Wonder Girl, the Tiny Tim Stunner.

I must grudgingly admit that the DVD of Slamtasia will be worth tracking down just to see the best match in ISW’s history between the PWG champion, El Generico and the 2006 IWS Rookie of the year, Stupefied’s brother by an undead mother, Zombiefied. PWG has gone on record as believing that Zombies Shouldn’t Run, but watch this match and You Will Believe That ZOMBIES CAN FLY! It took a huge BRAAAAAINBUSSTTAAAH! by El Generico to stun the speedy undead long enough for El Generico to pick up the pin at 10:41.

Also during the match, Zombiefied and El Generico broke a chair during a dive sequence. ISW owner Mike Rotch had a stricken look on his face knowing that he would have to pay IWS owner “Uncle” Manny to replace any broken chairs, putting Rotch’s Nintendo Wii fund at risk. Worse was to come though.

An excerpt from Kevin Steen’s diary: “Saturday, March 3rd, 2007. Rewatched my match against Jushin Thunder Liger. I rule. Humiliated sparring partner while training. Picked up my plaques from Pat LaPrade for winning every damn award in the Quebec Wrestling Almanac. Killed Uno.” Let history record that it was with the Package Piledriver at 14:33.

Personal confession time: I hate Michael Von Payton. I despise the man. Not because he’s taller than I am; not because he’s better looking; not because he is more talented; not because he is in better shape than I am. I mean he is, but that is not why I hate him. I despise the man because he has sex with Misty Haven on a regular basis and I do not. Oddly, Kevin Steen feels exactly the same way. At least, that is what Kevin Steen said when he ripped the microphone from me (and my cue cards) to replace me as ISW ring announcer and introduce MVP plus Max Boyer. Normally, Kevin and I disagree on everything. Misty Haven has a male harem! Who knew?

MVP has good reasons to be annoyed with ISW junior official, Alex Hetfield. Twice Alex’ inexperience cost MVP dearly in his match against “Canadian Dynamite” Maxime Boyer. The “Pride of the Outaouais” had the match won with a flash roll-up. Unfortunately, Hetfield was just as startled by the move as Boyer and by the time he started counting, Boyer had had ample time to wriggle free. Later, Boyer had MVP trapped in a single leg Boston Crab. When Payton reached the ropes the hold should have been broken, but Hetfield allowed Boyer to drag MVP back to the centre of the ring. MVP resisted tapping to the Crab, but when Boyer torqued up the pressure by twisting the Crab into a Stepover Toehold Facelock Surfboard combination and bent MVP even further into an STF double chicken wing combination, MVP had no choice but to cry “Uncle!” at 13:41.

The main event if ISW was a Casket Match between the ISW and IWS champion Viking and the ground and pound brawling zombie Izzy Deadyet. Viking confessed to me backstage that he does not have a lot of experience with Casket Matches or with caskets for that matter. Fitting his name, most of Viking’s family are cremated to give them a warrior’s burial.

Brawls, on the other hand, are a Viking specialty. Especially brawls where Viking is outnumbered and fighting desperately for his own survival. So when Viking decked Izzy Deadyet’s manager King Zombie Gorelust and opened the casket to throw in Izzy, it was no great shock that Gorelust had hidden a third zombie in the casket. It was not exactly a surprise when the match disintegrated into a chair-breaking brawl. Except perhaps to ISW owner Mike Rotch, who paid over the money for his Nintendo Wii to Uncle Manny, one broken chair at a time.

Viking won the match, stuffing all three of his zombie opponents into the casket and closing the lid at 11.59 He celebrated by climbing to the top rope and diving off on to the casket, breaking the lid and crushing the three zombies. The ISW ring crew carried the casket and the triumphant Viking to the back to end the show.

Please support the “Buy Mike Rotch a Wii” fund by buying ISW Slamtasia when it is released on Smart Mark Video and Fortune Video within the next week or so. You don’t want Rotchy living in van down by the river (well, technically the Rideau Canal) without something to do to occupy his time do you?

The MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT promised by the ISW for the show is that the ISW and the IWS are invited back to Montreal’s Ile St-Helene to put on a show during the Warped Tour’s visit to Montreal. In addition, there will be an ANIMAL CROSSING of the US/Canada border as the ISW has been invited to put on a show during the Warped tour’s visit to an undisclosed US city. (The management of ISW wisely would rather not disclose the location as of yet, fearing that with enough advance notice, officials in the American Humane Society could shut them down for cruelty to animals or cruelty to people or not keeping zombies on a leash or a myriad of other offences.) Expect more details in the months to come.

looks like a interesting show
