(West Paterson, NJ)-
Biggie Biggs managed to retain his IWF
crown by turning away two different
challengers at the Independent Wrestling
Federation's "Summer Sizzler Weekend."
The sold-out events were held Saturday,
July 27 and Sunday, July 28, 2002, at
the IWF Centre, West Paterson, New Jersey.
Part one of "Summer Sizzler Weekend"
on July 27 saw the announcement made
that Mr. Mike Winner was suspended from
the IWF for 30 days by Commissioner
AJ Sparxx for his actions during the
July 10th "Retribution" event.
But Winner's absence did not deter his
Winner's Circle stable of Roman and
Hadrian from manufacturing mayhem throughout
the weekend.
The weekend kicked off with Kevin Knight
disposing of Pierce St. John after the
"KnightFall" sky-high in the
opening contest.
In a bout to determine the number one
contender for an IWF Title match on
July 28, Erik Andretti pinned "Debonair"
Damian Adams after a top-rope reverse
neckbreaker. The win put Andretti in
line for a title match the next day.
Shane O'Brien pinned rival Shawn Donavan
after outside interference by Pierce
St. John. O'Brien and St. John made
a statement against Donavan as the two
look for a Tag Team Title rematch.
Former two-time IWF Champion Roman
defeated Josh Daniels in a Submission
Match after hitting two powerbombs,
then applying Daniels' own "Vortex"
cross arm-breaker, to which the powerhouse
Daniels tapped out.
In a CAMP IWF six-man tag team match,
Dante, Axis and Eloy Fiesta defeated
Tommy Trouble, Dylan Black and Alicia.
In the main event, Biggie Biggs pinned
Hadrian after the "BiggBang"
choke-slam to retain the Heavyweight
Title. After the referee was knocked
down, Roman made his was to the ring
and hit Biggs in the head with his steel
chain. After an alternate referee made
a three-count proclaiming Hadrian as
the new champion, Kevin Knight came
to ringside to point out the chain Roman
left in the ring after hitting Biggs.
The bout was re-started, and Biggs scored
the win.
July 28 saw part two of "Summer
Sizzler Weekend" at the IWF Centre,
and IWF Tag Team Champions Shawn Donavan
and Travis Blake settled the score against
Pierce St. John and Shane O'Brien as
they were victorious over the villainous
duo.
The new number one contender Erik Andretti
made his way to ringside for an interview,
and talked about his upcoming title
match against Biggie Biggs. As his turbo-mouth
was taunting Biggs, he began insulting
the wife of the champion, which led
to Mrs. Biggs' slapping the cocky challenger.
Biggs then charged into the arena and
attacked Andretti, which led to a full-scale
brawl. When finally separated, the show
continued and Biggs' revenge would have
to wait until the main event.
"Debonair" Damian Adams pinned
CJ Summers after the "Bronx Bomb"
frog-splash. After the bout, Summers'
took out his frustrations by hitting
Adams with a steel chair.
IWF American Champion Hadrian pinned
former American Champion Josh Daniels
to retain the title after the "Trident"
full-nelson-slam. Daniels left the ring
with an apparent chip on his shoulder
angered over his recent losing streak.
Kevin Knight defeated Roman in a best
two-out-of-three falls match. Knight
won the first fall after a top-rope
cross-body, Roman won the second fall
after a powerbomb, then Knight won the
third fall with a roll-up after Hadrian's
interference on Roman's behalf backfired.
After the bout, Hadrian began to berate
Roman for the apparent miscommunication,
but the brothers left the ring united.
In a tag team match, the unusual combination
of BPA Barry and Frankie Finesse defeated
CAMP IWF students Brandon Young and
Shawn Moore.
And in the main event, IWF Heavyweight
Champion Biggie Biggs made quick work
of Erik Andretti after executing the
"BiggBang" choke-slam to retain
the title
