WWE Referee Position
It has been a month since my last blog, so here are the latest happenings in my life....
I've been working full-time at my regular job. I applied for newer position within the company. Waiting to hear more information from it.
After more than a month of no shows, Impact Pro Wrestling had a show in Algona, Iowa @ The IPW Vault on May 10, 2008. Here is what happened:
Impact Pro Wrestling
Saturday, May 10, 2008
IPW Vault in Algona, Iowa!
Ring Announcer: Chuck Shockley
Referee: Senior IPW Referee Billy J.
Shawn Roman w/ T. S. Aggressor came out and cut a promo. Johny Fitness came out and brought out enforcement of Wicked Lester Brody and then brought out his hot woman,Jasinda. Tonight's Main Event: Shawn Roman vs. Johny Fitness in a Loser Leaves IPW Vault for a Year!
1) Havyk defeated Marshall Scott with a spear for the win
2) Flav defeated "Torturous" Tony Sly with a stunner.
3) 8-Man Hardcore Scramble for the 1 Contender for the IPW Extreme Title. Participants included: Matty Starr, Justin Decent, The Big Picture, Thrillcat, Anthony Draven, Big Country, Buck Albright and Project Matthew. The match came down to Matty Starr and Project Matthew in the end. Project Matthew picked up the win, due to being the freshest guy out there and is now the 1 Contender for the IPW Extreme Title.
Chuck Shockley announced that Flav was banned from ringside.
4) IPW Heavyweight Championship: IPW Champion A.J. Smooth versus Montoya X. This title match saw the two opponents beating each other in and out of the ring. Smooth was busted open on the head when he got rammed into the garage door of the building. Smooth also had his thong ripped off of him by Montoya X. The end came down when Montoya X hit a frog splash. Flav's cane was somehow tossed into the ring. X picked up the cane and was about to use it on Smooth which would have DQ'ed him. X instead tossed the cane away and rolled Smooth up for the 1..2..3....NEW IPW HEAYVWEIGHT CHAMPION MONTOYA X! Wrestlers gathered in the ring and cheered on the new champion!
15-minute Intermission
5) IPW Tag Team Championship: 2nd Coming (Chance Cordova and Vin Cross) vs. Ian Wellington/James Jeffries. A great tag team match. The match ended when Vin Cross and Ian Wellington fought outside while Cordova and Jeffries fought inside. Jeffries picked up the win and we have NEW IPW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: Ian Wellington and James Jeffries
6) Loser Leaves IPW Vault for 1 Year: Johny Fitness vs. Shawn Roman. Great main event that had T.S. Aggressor and Fitness' woman at ringside. I, Referee Billy J., got splashed accidentally in the corner. When I got back up, Johny Fitness missed a top rope cross body and then Shawn Roman used his finishing move to pickup the win. Johny Fitness can not wrestle at the IPW Vault for 1 year.
The IPW Vault was filled to capacity with great fans. It was so packed, people were asked to move some of their cars before they got towed. It might have bet wet and cold outside in the rain, but the crowd and the ring action was HOT inside the VAULT!!
IPW Promotoer Troy Peterson and his wife, Caroline, brought their new son, Truman, with to the show. I didn't hear any crying from him, so he must have really enjoyed the show!
So far for 2008, I've reffed 50 matches in 10 shows....many more to come.
