HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES

Having been in the IWA since 1991, the tag-team Total Impact -- consisting of Terminal Velocity's Sudden Impact (1,007-399-69, $3,031,800 *19) and High Impact (1,140-456-80, $3,029,400 *15) -- has won countless titles and Report rankings, including three World Tag and three World Six-man titles. The brothers spent the end of their career in what is arguably the most competitive league in the game, the ASL, where they held the Commish tag titles for over a year. High Impact has held all of the titles the league has to offer, and retires holding the ASL's National title. Wrestling under the tutelage of manager Mike Peters from Pennsylvania, the brothers always spoke their minds and defended friends and league. They prided themselves on wrestling only the best out there, and they have the losses to prove it. With that, the brothers have a few words:

"Yeah, yeah, yeah... after 18 years, one of the IWA's powerhouse stables is closing its doors. Terminal Velocity has disbanded as a result of us retiring into the Hall of Fame. The long history of TV carries with it a Brotherhood that has dominated league after league, culminating in the domination of the entire IWA with a Stablecade win in 2007. The list of brothers that I could list wouldn't be fair to the ones that I might miss, so I will be fair to all and not list any. Those who are brothers, know they are brothers and what that stands for. I couldn't bow out of the IWA without mentioning the stables that we feuded with. There are the ones that you feud with and then the ones that you go to war with. The first I'd like to mention has been with us in the ASL for years and is the yin to our yang: it is the RDI. There are just some stables that you can feud with for a little while before they lose focus and fall out. Well, the RDI never lost that edge, and I have to say that when it comes to the best feral feud that I have ever had, they are it! I also can't bow out without acknowledging the very first stable that we feuded with and would still feud with today if they were in our league: the Lethal Alliance. There have been plenty of pretenders, but the original Lethal Alliance had a way of getting under your skin. You guys kept us in the game and made us mad enuff to want to get as good as we are to beat you! I am proud to say that Terminal Velocity is the only stable of its kind. We've had the most loyal members of the highest caliber, and our pickiness helped us avoid the continual turnover that appears to crush other stables. We live by one creed, and that is what I'll leave you with: 'You attack one, you attack all, and we take care of our own!' See ya!"

 

WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION

Cronus, drawn by Cody SchibiNot content with the Metropolitan, American, and Gold Federation titles, ILL: Cronus (ASL) used his 500-pointer to claim the game's top prize! His manager, Darrell Brewer of Alabama, can now choose to receive 100 free matches or a real wrestling belt and 50 free matches.

 

U.S. CHAMPION

That means his manager, Jonathan Akers of Texas, gets his choice of an engraved plaque or 25 free matches! Hold positions 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, and 15 determined the outcomes of the regular league battle royals.

CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION

LEGIT: Joe Spinebuster (BOL) won this title's $25,000 purse with a 500-pointer.

LADIES' TITLES

Jason Battaglia of New York aided PAIN: Mean Jean Baljean (MDL) on her quest to become Ladies' World Champion. The 500-pointer he devised did the trick, so he won an engraved plaque or 15 free matches! LPPF: G.B. the Imperfect Nobody (VVL) took the Queen of the Ring title for Keith A. Maple of Ohio with 273 points. She was entered in the running due to an in-league error. Were it not for this, the winner would have been COT: Sexy Shannon Outlaw (VVL), who was managed to 265 points by Jonathan Akers of Texas; Bodacious Bonnie (FFL) would have lost by point flow. NGAA: Rydia Stormer (MDL) claimed the Ladies' U.S. Championship for S. Daniel Stunes of Arkansas.

The LSL team is managed by "The Smoking Pope" Garett Guzman of Kansas, who, after accepting his share of the titles, brandished an EDGE flag in the middle of the ring just before setting it aflame with a big smile on his face. Winning the final share of the titles was the LPPF team from the OSL; all three belong to Tony Pesante of New York. After receiving the titles, Tony took out a can of black spray paint and sprayed a sideways smiley face on all three titles. Upon seeing this, LPPF's Keith A.
