TV #16 (July 17, 2021)

Ian Riccaboni opens the show with commissioners Stokely Hathaway and Veda Scott. They announce that the next pay-per-view will happen on August 1, and the main event will be a heavyweight championship match between Killer Kross and Martin Casaus.

Killer Kross (with Karlee Perez) defeats Space Monkey

Space Monkey held his own in what could have been a mismatch, but Kross prevailed with a Doomsday Saito. After the match, Kross said he'll look forward to beating Casaus, while Perez threw some shade at Salina de la Renta, whom she said belonged managing cruiserweights.

Maria Manic defeats Delmi Exo

Manic won a long match with a DDT, after which she demanded a championship match against Mercedes Martinez. Martinez came to the ring and accepted the challenge for the upcoming PPV.

Logan Black (with Karlee Perez) defeats Mike Verna

Black won the match with a modified tombstone piledriver.

Massage NV (Dorian Graves & VsK) defeats 40 Acres (Tre Lamar & PB Smooth)

In this tag team championship match, Massage NV retained their belts in decisive fashion when Graves beat Lamar with the Happy Ending finisher.

Jody Fleisch defeats Sammy Guevara (with Salina de la Renta)

De la Renta did her best to interfere and distract Fleisch, but he hit the overconfident Guevara with a flurry of high impact offensive moves before finishing him off with a Phoenixplex. Jody Fleisch is the new IPW cruiserweight champion!

Tune in next time for matches featuring Willie Mack, Benjamin Carter, and more!

TV #17 (July 24, 2021)

Ian Riccaboni announces that another championship match has been signed for the August 1 Summer Blast pay-per-view: the up and coming tag team of Hammerstone & Hawx will face Massage NV for the tag belts. Also, the winner of today's match between Benjamin Carter and Trey Miguel will face Jody Fleisch for his newly-won cruiserweight title.

Willie Mack defeats Dan the Dad

Dan the Dad made his first appearance in a month, due to his injury at the hands of Killer Kross and Karlee Perez. But as expected, he lost this match when Mack reversed a whip into the turnbuckle and caught him with a lariat.

Courtney Rush (with Karlee Perez) defeats Miranda Gordy

The newcomer Gordy faced a tough test against the devious duo of Rush and Perez. Despite a good showing, she came up on the losing side of the ledger after crashing into the turnbuckle and getting rolled up by Rush for the pin. After the match, as Rush and Perez were threatening the fallen Gordy, Thunder Rosa raced to the ring and chased off her enemies.

Benjamin Carter defeats Trey Miguel

Carter won the right to face Jody Fleisch for the cruiserweight belt at the PPV when he hit Miguel with a lionsault elbow drop out of nowhere after Miguel had controlled most of the action.

Penelope Ford defeats Su Yung (with Karlee Perez)

Ford earned the upset after Perez climbed to the apron and tried to hit her with the mystic stone. Ford ripped the stone from Perez's hand and in doing so accidentally hit Yung, knocking her out cold, leading to an easy cover.

Jonah Rock defeats Luchasaurus

These two renewed their rivalry, and this time Rock dominated, ultimately beating Luchasaurus with a Monsta Splash.

Tune in next week for a full preview of the Summer Blast pay-per-view, as well as matches featuring Sammy Guevara, 40 Acres, and Barkley & the Blade.

TV #18 (July 31, 2021)

Ian Riccaboni opens the show by promoting tomorrow's pay-per-view card featuring these matches:

Willie Mack vs. Logan Black

Mercedes Martinez defends her women's championship against Maria Manic

Jody Fleisch defends his cruiserweight championship against Benjamin Carter

Massage NV defends its tag team championship against Hammerstone and Hawx

Killer Kross defends his heavyweight championship against Martin Casaus

Let's go to the ring for today's action:

Gringo Loco & Dan the Dad defeat Barkley and the Blade (Wes Barkley & Pepper Parks)

Loco surprisingly beats Parks with a Spanish Fly, and Barkley didn't even get to tag in. After the match, Barkley yelled at Parks and shoved him, which sparked a melee that spilled to the floor. It's safe to say that this underachieving tag team partnership is over!

Jonah Rock defeats Mike Verna

Rock easily wins this matchup with a Samoan Drop.

Sammy Guevara (with Salina de la Renta) defeats Trey Miguel

The Spanish God got back on track in his quest to recapture the cruiserweight title, as he won with a 630 Senton.

Filthy Violence (Erick Stevens & Kevin Ku) defeat 40 Acres (Tre Lamar & PB Smooth)

With their best showing in a few weeks, Filthy Violence showed it's still a player in the tag team ranks. Stevens picked up the win for his team when he beat Smooth with a powerslam into the corner.

Before the last match, Karlee Perez came out with Su Yung and Courtney Rush. Perez told Riccaboni that she and Su Yung have unfinished business with Penelope Ford tonight, but Courtney Rush wants to challenge Thunder Rosa tomorrow at the PPV, after Rosa jumped Rush last week. Rosa then emerges from the back with Miranda Gordy and they stroll down to ringside. Rosa accepts the challenge (adding a sixth match to the PPV lineup!) and says she and Gordy are going to stick around today and watch Ford's back during the upcoming match.

Su Yung (with Karlee Perez and Courtney Rush) defeats Penelope Ford (with Thunder Rosa and Miranda Gordy)

Yung was in trouble in this one, but she won after rolling up Ford when Ford missed a running clothesline and crashed into the turnbuckle. Rosa and Gordy hustled into the ring after the match and escorted Ford to the back to prevent the heels from committing any evil deeds against her.

Ian Riccaboni closes with a note to say that this will be the final weekly TV episode of IPW. Beginning with tomorrow's Summer Blast PPV, the fed will go to a monthly pay-per-view format with no weekly TV (personal note: I'm a college professor, and time will grow short when the new semester starts in August, so something has to give). Riccaboni reminds viewers that there will still be weekly episodes of the IPW's sister promotion, the LPW (Legends Prime Wrestling). See you tomorrow for the pay-per-view!

PPV #2 - Summer Blast (August 1, 2021)

Ian Riccaboni welcomes viewers to this Summer Blast pay-per-view, which features six big matches! Let's head to the ring for a return grudge match in the women's division...

Thunder Rosa (with Miranda Gordy & Penelope Ford) defeats Courtney Rush (with Karlee Perez & Su Yung)

Rush pulled out all of the stops in this one, including her signature blue mist, but she just couldn't put Rosa away despite racking up seven fatigue tokens against her. Rosa fought back, overcame Perez's distraction outside the ring, and finally beat Rush with a La Rosa Driver. Impressive win for one of the IPW's most popular performers!

Logan Black (with Karlee Perez) defeats Willie Mack

Black won this close, back and forth match with a scoop brainbuster. This upset will move him further up the singles rankings, while Mack's slide from the #1 contender spot continues.

Maria Manic wins by DQ over Mercedes Martinez (with Thunder Rosa)

Martinez, the IPW women's champion, retained her belt despite losing this one by DQ when she became frustrated with Manic and hit her with a chair outside the ring. The match was too close to call before that, so a rematch is surely in order in the future.

Jody Fleisch defeats Benjamin Carter

Fleisch retained his IPW cruiserweight title after appearing to be in trouble. He turned the match around with a wall run and then hit a 720 DDT for the win. The cruiserweight division continues to provide great matches!

Massage NV (Dorian Graves & VsK) defeats Alexander Hammerstone & P.J. Hawx

The enigmatic tag team champs retained their belts when Graves beat Hawx with a tornado DDT. Fans appreciate their tag team moves, but they're still a little creeped out by the team's frequent mid-match massaging of opponents.

Killer Kross (with Karlee Perez) defeats Martin Casaus (with Salina de la Renta)

Perez and de la Renta have been throwing some shade at each other in the leadup to this match, and they got into a finger-pointing disagreement during the opening introductions. But no blows were exchanged, and when things calmed down, IPW heavyweight champion Killer Kross quickly dispatched of Casaus with a Doomsday Saito to retain his belt.

As mentioned in my previous post, the IPW will now be moving to a monthly schedule, so look for the next PPV some time in late August or early September. Who will be Killer Kross's next challenger? Will Sammy Guevara get a chance to regain the cruiserweight belt? What's next for Alexander Hammerstone? Who will be the next star to make their IPW debut? These are just a few of the unanswered questions as the IPW moves into a new phase.
