NWA/IZW RESULTS FROM 6/02/09 @ THE SETS in Tempe, AZ

Announcer Johnny Roxx & NWA Representative Greg DeMarco came out to start the TV tapings, and were joined by Johnny Manson. Manson mocked DeMarco, then grabbed the mic and declared that he loves IZW, and stated that the NWA “sucks.” This brought out Derick Neikirk and GQ Gallo,who bullied Manson around. Neikirk then invited any member of the IZW roster to come out and join their cause, which brought out Tyson Tyler! Manson’s nemesis seemed like a perfect fit to join the NWA enforcers, except Tyler showed his intentions to stick with IZW, coming to the rescue of Manson! Neikirk informed Tyler that he “signed his death wish,” and challenged Manson & Tyler to a tag team match. DeMarco immediately made the match official, forcing Johnny Roxx to announce it as a main event to the fans.

Match #1 – Lucha Star Reigns pinned Dom “The Bomb” Vitalli following Sliced Burrito #2.

Match #2 – “The Limited Edition” Tommy Drake pinned Frenchy Rivera after hitting a Straightjacket Neckbreaker.

Match #3 – “El Mariachi” Sergio Vega defeated “Miracle” Mike James after a cheap chop block to the knee and a quick roll-up in the third match in their Best of 5 Series, which Vega leads 2-1.

Match #4 – NWA Enforcers, the "Elite Extremists" Derick Neikirk & GQ Gallo defeated Johnny Manson & Tyson Tyler (dubbed “The BFF Express”) when
Neikirk pinned Tyler following “Tradition Enforced” (a double team Slingshot into a Side Russian Legsweep).

Following intermission, “The Feature Presentation” Jay Garland addressed the IZW fans, informing them that he had been temporarily blinded by the fireball thrown at him by new Unified champion Dean Radford two weeks ago. Garland stated that he’s currently lost 80% vision in his right eye, and 43% in his left. Dean Radford appeared in the ring, and was less than remorseful when he attacked Garland . Several wrestlers made their way out, including a rare in-ring appearance by the retired “Fearless” Jack Bull. Jose Guzman, a young wrestler who’s been training with Garland and accompanied him to the ring, was left alone with Radford, leading to an impromptu match between the two.

Match #5 – NWA-Arizona Heavyweight & Impact Zone Wrestling Champion “The East Coast Killer” Dean Radford pinned Jose Guzman following a big boot in under 3 minutes in a non-title match.

Match #6 – “The King of Phoenix” Payed Daily defeated “Lord” Lars Fleischmann. Fleischmann had originally pinned Daily with a roll-up out of the corner, but NWA Representative Greg DeMarco restarted the match after claiming that Fleischmann allegedly held the ropes during the pinfall (despite the fact that everyone in the arena saw that Fleischmann used the rope for balance, releasing his grasp prior to Ryan Castelucci’s three count). Fleischmann argued with DeMarco when the match was restarted, and Daily pinned Fleischmann with a school-boy roll-up (and a handful of tights).

Match #7 – Erica D’Erico pinned “Sweet” Liz Sassi to become the first ever NWA-Arizona Women’s Champion by reversing a victory roll into a roll-up of her own, with an assist from the top rope.

Prior to the second half main event, Ring Announcer Johnny Roxx informed the fans that due to the legally binding “divorce agreement” signed by both members of The 602 Wrecking Crew, Jacob Hertzberg was officially the sole holder of the NWA-Arizona Tag Team Titles.

Match #8 – IZW Impulse Champion “The Irish Hand Grenade” Marty Murphy & “El Cholo” Mike G defeated “The Great” Ryan Lynch & NWA-Arizona Tag Team Champions Jacob “The Riot” Herzberg when Murphy pinned Lynch with the TK602. Herzberg was in position to break-up the final pinfall, but elected to stare down his former partner during the pin.
