FIP Headlines for 6.25.09

FIP Tag Team Title Match Signed

The FIP Championship Committee has announced that on Saturday night August 1st, 2009 Erick Stevens and Roderick Strong will defend the FIP Tag Team Titles against The British Lions in a Texas Tornado Rules match. Sean Davis of Heartbreak Enterprises said, “I have no idea why the match is being held under Texas Tornado Rules. This is Tag Team wrestling. Having all 4 men in the ring at once pretty much negates the entire premise of it being a TAG TEAM match doesn’t it? Well that’s ok. We already proved my British Lions can defeat Stevens and Strong last month, so doing it again will be a piece of cake.”

Roderick Strong replied, “Yeah they got us last time out in the 6 man tag, but when these belts are on the line it’s a whole different story. Erick and I are leaving Crystal River with the belts. Count on it.”

YRR Issues a BIG Challenge

Things have not been going too well for the YRR of late, but apparently MSL has a plan to remedy that. “Yeah the last few months have seen some upheaval within the YRR, but out of the Chaos comes clarity, and my goal for the YRR has never been clearer, get the YRR back to the top here in FIP, and the best way to do that? Why that’s simple, you walk up to the biggest baddest guy on the block and you smack him right in the teeth.

Last month in Crystal River Kory Chavis got involved in a matter that was of no concern to him when he stepped in to team with Kenny King against the YRR…So Kory Chavis, you and your partner Jon Davis are about to get your comeuppance. Chasyn Rance and Sal Rinauro are going to walk up to you two goofs, and smack you right in the teeth, and there’s nothing you can do about it”.

Kory Chavis responded, “Chasyn Rance and Sal Rinauro are going to do WHAT??? There gonna smack WHO in the teeth??? I sincerely hope for your sakes that St.Laurent has made certain you are current on your health insurance, because that guy’s mouth just guaranteed you a trip to the hospital on August 1st boys.”



World Title Rematch hype heating up

The FIP office has been abuzz since the announcement of the rematch between Kenny King and Davey Richards for the World Title. Kenny King has been sending messages every day from his training facility in Las Vegas for World Champ Davey Richards.

Today’s message said, “It’s all up to him. If he rushes me he will get knocked out quick. Or he can try to wrestle me and get punished. It’s all up to him. I respect him as a fighter but as a man, I don’t respect him. I think he’s a bum. I think he’s a B+ fighter – but he’s a bum and I’ll walk right through him. I will see you after the fight and look you right into the eye and say, ‘See I told you he was a bum.’ I don’t have any respect for him. None.”

If Richards was taken aback by the brashness of the Pretty Boy Pitbull, he didn’t let on. “Let him keep thinking I’m a bum. Let him think he’s going to walk right through me. I destroyed the myth of Tyler Black, I helped destroy the myth of the Briscoes, and of Steen and Generico, so I’ll have no problem destroying the human hype machine Kenny King. The thing Kenny doesn’t realize, the difference between him and I is that he’s almost as good as he thinks he is, but I’m even better than he knows I am. He’ll find that out on August 1st.”

WoW, very solid lineup for this Aug 1 show. I've already commited to the Fusion show in Tampa, but this show looks incredible as well. Will there be a dvd of the show? The 2 tag matches have my interests for sure. Love the Lions and YRR. Stevens and Strong and The DCFC can hang as well. This is a nice card. I'm a big fan of Richards work and would love to do both shows. Any chance I could get to CR in time for the last match or two?

[Ron Niemi]

Really strong show. I think the Roderick Strong/Erick Stevens vs British Lions match should be tremendous stuff.

[seandavishbe]

The first British Lions vs Roderick/Stevens match was one of the best tag matches I have ever seen and I was proud to be a small part of it. The six man match last month tore the roof off the Armory and the post match brawl/pull apart with Roddy, Stevens, Kenny King and Chris Jones vs my Heartbreak Enterprises was one of the most intense things I have ever been a part of with the fans throwing garbage at us and Phil and I both getting punched by fans and Davey Richards almost killing several children at ringside. That was just a SMALL taste of what is going to happen on August 1.

If you are a fan of Southern style old school wrestling and yearn for the good old days then come out to Crystal River and step into a time machine and see the hottest action you will ever see on an independent wrestling event as the BEST professional wrestlers in the world today perform in the most old school atmosphere in all of wrestling.

I really wish I could attend this show, but my cousin in SpringHill will be viewing the show in my stead. I'm hoping to get some video via my cousin or on dvd at a later time. This show has a recipe for success:
1. Strong Main Event workers w/ accompanying outside heat
2. Title matches that mean something
3. Strong Undercard
4. Great venue w/ hot crowd
5. Solid promoting
6. 2-Tag Team matches(I'm a Tag Mark) with one being tenacious,YRR-vs-DCFC,staunch and sturdy. The other with British Lions-vs-Stevens/Strong and being full of such international experience should be the "Bee's Knee's".
Book all this together for one night and "Bob's your uncle".
