Looking forward to the Roadhouse Battle Royal and Cobb vs Hammerstone should be fun.

Here's hoping the rematch between Cobb and Hammerstone can deliver the goods... Any favorites in the Roadhouse Battle Royal?

Don't know who will win but I'll be cheering for Sick Nick.

IPW Anniversary Weekend: HIGH VOLTAGE
2023.May.06 Val Air Ballroom, Des Moines, IA

Commentary: Angelus Layne, Fred Yehi & Troy Peterson


PART ONE

O'SHAY EDWARDS def. Bryan Keith. **
- Edwards pinned Keith <snake eyes> after a spinebuster. <Tokens: Edwards 2 / Keith received DQ warning.>
- Taylor Made conducted a prematch interview with Keith. He spoke his mind and was obviously still angry about being forced to compete for a place in the upcoming Hawkeye's Hope Ladder Royal, adding that he would be more cautious when accepting future assignments from the management of this particular company.
- Using evasive maneuvers, Keith managed to remain one step ahead for the majority of this contest. Edwards delivered a potent counter and the referee failed to notice that Keith had a foot on the ropes in time to break the count.
- In order to send a message, Edwards continued the assault after the bell and delivered a KAIJU DRIVER through a table! Justin Decent & 1 Called Manders rushed the ring to halt the beatdown, but the damage was already done. <Keith injured for 1 card.>

SUMIE SAKAI def. Masha Slamovich. ***1/2
- Sakai pinned Slamovich after a SMASH MOUTH. <Tokens: Sakai 2 - Slamovich 4 / Slamovich received DQ warning.>
- Accusing Captain Midnight of mispronouncing her name, Slamovich stomped into the ring and began making threats. Sakai jumped directly into the line of fire to unload on her opponent with a series of wicked strikes! <Sakai started on Level 2 Offense.>
- Coming in hot, Sakai kept up constant pressure until Slamovich landed a cheap shot that caused her to stumble. Sakai would not allow herself to get bullied into a corner, fighting back to score a thrilling victory.

Death Dealer vs. Colby Corino (w/ Brian Pillman Jr) resulted in a draw via double DQ. **
- Both men were disqualifed <out of the ring> when the referee was unable to break up a wild brawl. <Tokens: Dealer 1 - Corino 3 / Corino and Dealer received DQ warnings.>
- Tempers flared as this contest gradually spiraled out of control. Pillman tried to assist his partner, but Dealer took him out with a chain wrapped fist!
- Taylor Made conducted a post-match interview with Dealer. As usual, he answered questions with nothing more than a menacing expression. Waving a kendo stick, Corino jumped Dealer from behind and a wild brawl erupted! Security was needed to pull combatants apart. Commissioner Chad Olson decided that Dealer and Corino would be pulled from the Hawkeye's Hope Ladder Royal on the next card. Instead, the two men would face each other in a Lumberjack match! Pillman tried to protest on his partner's behalf, but he quickly retreated when Dealer threatened to strike him with the chain again!

DARBY ALLIN & BLAKE CHRISTIAN def. Freebirds (Jake Something & Curt Stallion w/ Miranda Gordy). **1/2
- Allin pinned Stallion after a COFFIN DROP. <Tokens: Something 2, Stallion 1>
- The action moved at a blistering pace with Allin & Christian employing their high risk behavior to keep the Freebirds off balance. Sumie Sakai made a surprise appearance at ringside to prevent Gordy from getting involved.

BRYCE JORDYN (w/ Wes Brisco) def. Johnny Fitness (w/ Matty Star). ****
- Jordyn pinned Fitness after a DESTINO. <Tokens: Jordyn 7 - Fitness 3>
- With Brisco present to offer support, Jordyn delivered a brilliant performance that captivated the fans. Fitness grew visibly frustrated with Jordyn's energetic antics and retaliated with brutal efficiency. While Fitness distracted the referee, Star smashed Jordyn with chairshot that busted him wide open! Brisco returned the favor by nailing Fitness with a low blow that also went unseen. Even with blood loss taking its toll, Jordyn bounced back for a glorious finish.

JOHN WAYNE MURDOCH def. Alex Kane to retain the IPW Badlands Hardcore Championship. **1/2
- Murdoch pinned Kane after a stab with weapon. <Tokens: Murdoch 1 - Kane 6>
- This was a successful version two title defense.
- Although he offered strong resistance, Kane made the mistake of trying to turn this contest into a test of scientific ability. He was bleeding heavily as Murdoch rammed his head into a cinder block and then used a turnbuckle wrench to bring this violent affair to an end.


INTERMISSION - Stay tuned for Part Two!

PART TWO

COWBOYS FROM HELL (Justin Decent & 1 Called Manders) def. Young Studs (Eric Eyan & Bobby Beverly) in a Total Anarchy match to retain the IPW Unified Tag Team Championship. ***
- Manders pinned Ryan after a LARIAT. <Tokens: Decent 1 - Ryan 5>
- This was a successful version seven title defense.
- As expected, both teams fought tooth and nail in this highly anticipated rematch. Ryan was busted open when Decent smashed him with a hand held meat tenderizer!
- Taylor Made conducted a post-match interview with the Studs. Speaking openly, the duo congratulated the Cowboys on a well deserved victory and offered gratitude to the fans for the continued support.

AJ SMOOTH def. Brent Filmore. *1/2
- Smooth tapped out Filmore with a Canadian Crab. <Tokens: Filmore 3>
- Nicky Free joined the commentary booth for this match. He did not appear invested in the action taking place inside the ring, simply stating that he was still interested in the particulars of the earlier business proposal made by Filmore.
- Taylor Made conducted a post-match interview with Filmore. He expressed disappointment in the outcome, but added that he had more important matters to think about. Directing his attention towards Free, he indicated that there was still a vacancy in the Inhumane Society to be filled.

THUNDER ROSA def. Holidead in a Hot Shot match. **
- Rosa pinned Holidead after LA ROSA. <Tokens: Holidead 1 / Rosa received DQ warning.>
- Emotions were running high as the former IPW Ladies Tag Team Champions faced each other for a match against Ivelisse for the IPW Ladies Grand Prix Championship. At the conclusion of the match, Holidead graciously embraced Rosa and wished her luck on her upcoming opportunity.

Josh Alexander stepped into the ring to address the crowd. He spoke about how much his respect for IPW had grown since his last appearance. Before he could continue, Malice stormed the ring and told Alexander that he was not impressing anyone. With a shrug, Alexander suggested that beating a former four-time IPW Badlands Hardcore Champion might impress a lot of people. Malice issued a challenge for a Falls Count Anywhere match on the next card and Alexander accepted!

HALE TWINS (Briar & Sage Hale) def. Ivelisse & Ms Frankie Jay. ***1/2
- Briar pinned Ivelisse after a CODE RED. <Tokens: Briar 2, Sage 4 - Ivelisse 3, Jay 1>
- All four women delivered brilliant performances during this marathon encounter.

WARHORSE def. Danhausen. ***
- Warhorse pinned Danhausen after a DEATH BY DOUBLESTOMP. <Tokens: Danhausen 6 / Warhorse received DQ warning.>
- Even though he remained resilient throughout this contest, it was evident that Danhausen did not have the heart to fight his longtime friend. Warhorse did not share these reservations, assaulting Danhausen with merciless fury to leave him lying in his own blood.
- Taylor Made conducted a post-match interview with Danhausen. He made it clear that he would forgive Warhorse if offered an apology. Commissioner Chad Olson interrupted to advise Danhausen that both he and Warhorse were being given two of the remaining places that remained in the Hawkeye's Hope Ladder Royal on the next card. Danhausen was confident that Warhorse would be eager to work together to ensure that one of them emerged triumphant!

JEREMY WYATT, TS AGGRESSOR & MR DESTINY def. Chris Masters & Brothers Velocity (James Jeffries & Sparrow) via DQ. **1/2
- Masters was disqualified <out of the ring> after hitting Wyatt with a spinebuster through a table. <Tokens: Jeffries 1 - Aggressor 6, Destiny 1 / Masters received DQ warning.>
- Determined to keep himself protected at all costs, Wyatt allowed his teammates to handle the majority of the workload. Unable to keep his temper in check, Masters refused to heed multiple warnings from the referee as he punished the IPW Unified Heavyweight Champion for his cowardice.
