Spike TV: Episode 2
Wow. That’s all that I can really say right now, just.....wow, what a hell of an opening show that was huh? I don’t remember a federation getting off to such a start like that in a very long time. It makes me feel that there is a hell of a lot of promise here for IWF, and the talent filling up the roster delivered on such a level.
A lot of people stood out at Sacrifice, and our local staff members put their own stamp on their particular divisions and let us know that they have some cool stuff in store for us. Personally, I’m quite excited and I can’t wait to see what the next few weeks are going to have in store for us as we build up to our first pay per view.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ALL HAIL!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This weeks superstars who deserve their moment in the spotlight!
Jake Keeton - Just like I said last week Keeton has a hell of a lot to offer. He truly is one the greatest I’ve come across in my long career. He showed exactly what he is capable of last week, and has set a standard not only for himself but for the rest of the roster too. Keeton is certainly on his way to making a name for himself here.
Brad Kane & Tifa Heafy -First ever main event winners, you can’t tell me that they don’t belong to be here. Brad put on a clinic as you would expect from someone of his quality and calibre, and we also got to see what Tifa has to offer, and that the Diamond’s division has some quality too.
InFamous - Come on, I know I’m biased but you all saw what we delivered out there, hell we even won Team of the Week. That triple threat no disqualification tag match was bat shhhhhhugar crazy, and I am amazed that any of us came out of it on the other side, but of course InFamous reign supreme mofo’s!
Stephen Kingsley - Just for proving me wrong you get the spot here mate. Don't let it go to your head.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well then, this bit was missing from last week due to there being no previous show to review but here’s where we have my personal highlights and low lights from the show, disagree? Suck it!
HIGH POINTS
-Opening on a strong point.
-Amazing quality matches delivered across the card.
-Mike Lazslo lost, mwuahahaha
-My Wife proved me wrong and pulled out the victory, and then kicked my ass afterwards.
-Trent Helms is a sporadic mess, but entertaining.
-New talent, new blood.
-Stephen Kingsley surprising me with the victory.
-A woman, or sorry, a Diamond picked up the victory in the first ever main event.
LOW POINTS
-Alex Jones trying to make everything about him, again.....for crying out loud die already.
-Joe Everyman not wrestling.
-One or two let downs performance wise from a few individuals.
-Security stopping Rob and I from destroying Criminal Intent.
-Verona getting beat down, I know you might not like him, but he’s my friend.
-Lame ominous messages, it’s the first show stop hyping yourself up jackass.
-Alex Jones being a self righteous attention seeking douchebag.

PREDICTIONS

Last Week: 3 - 4 - So my first week didn’t exactly go very well, but there is a lot to learn about a lot of these people who have joined this company. I’m usually a pretty good judge of talent, but as you would have seen if you read Spike TV last week, a lot of them were guesses, so let’s see if we can top it up this week!

FINAL THOUGHTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With the first episode of Sacrifice in the books, and the awards and rankings in full swing it’s quite safe to say that IWF is certainly off to a great start. Next week we’ve got the Cruiserweight Division being pushed into the spotlight which should be very entertaining because a lot of the guys in that division are some of the best wrestlers I’ve ever seen, not to mention another stacked edition of Sacrifice to follow.
Personally? I can’t wait to kick Mike Laszlo right in the face and shut him up for five minutes, two straight weeks of losses for him, to two tag teams featuring one of the Kane twins, yeah....thems the breaks kid, tough luck.
Make sure you tune in this week, and if you can get to the house show, because IWF is still trying to make a name for itself, and you never know what might happen! Also, last weeks poll was won by Mike Machado, so look out for a Straight Shootin’ interview with the Mediocre one in the near future!
This is your host, Spike Kane, signing off.
Adios.
