WHAM!  BAM! …THANK YOU, MA’AM! – ON DVD!

The time has come, ladies and germs.  2 weeks after the event took place, we proudly present to you the DVD release of our latest exploits – “WHAM!  BAM! …THANK YOU, MA’AM!”  As usual, this 2 disc release will feature all the matches from the show, along with some sweet little extra dealies.  However – this time, we decided to do something a little different, as well.

The “WHAM!  BAM!  THANK YOU, MA’AM” DVD release features variant covers.  That’s right, just like when your favourite comic book releases more than one cover in order to trick you into buying more than one copy of the issue.  The catch, however, is that one of the covers is 100% exclusive to orders via Fortune Video’s website.

The Fortune Video release features a drawing by artist Ashlie Rictus – featuring a very pissed off Kevin Steen.

The SMV release will feature the second cover design done for us by artists Jesus Marquez and Dan Ramirez.  Done in a style described as an ode to late, great comic artist – Jack Kirby.

Now, onto the contents…

1. Stinky The Homeless Guy vs. Flip
2. The Badd Boys vs. 2.0
3. Twiggy vs. Beef Wellington
4. Sexxxy Eddy vs. Giant Tiger (Alcobrawl)
5. Moohammad The Terrorist Cow vs. Steve
6. Maximus Primal vs. Moostafa
7. Michael Von Payton vs. El Hijo Del Bamboo
8. Izzie Deadyet vs. Viking
9. Player Uno © vs. “Mr.Wrestling” Kevin Steen (Inter Species Championship Match)

PLUS – Extra footage, including footage of Giant Tiger and Sexxxy Eddy’s pre-show drinking with the fans.

DVD is available (both covers – your choice) for purchase RIGHT NOW at www.fortunevideoediting.com.

SMV will have the release for sale, featuring the Jesus Marquez cover – in a few weeks.

Thanks, and stay tuned for news on our next show – soon!

WHAM! BAM! Results

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Inter Species Wrestling Press Release:

For Immediate Release:

WHAM! BAM! RESULTS

-Show opened up with Llakor announcing that he was going to fire the weakest member of the Inter Species Wrestling roster.  Himself.  He stated that with the chaos that’d taken place over the past few shows – he needed to dedicate himself to full time commissioner duties.  He then chose his replacement at random.  A fan in the crowd, who turned out to be C*4 announcer Tony Barnes.

-The match between Stinky the Homeless Guy and Flip was thrown out, when the referee lost control of the contest.  Saying he “lost control” is kinda assuming he had it in the first place, as the match started with Flip attacking Stinky while he was making his entrance, and was just a straight fist fight on the floor – before both men made it into the ring, and the bell sounded around 3 minutes in.  Match ends when Flip crushes Stinky’s skull with a chairshot – for the second show in a row.  Match thrown out.

-The most anticipated tag team encounter in Inter Species Wrestling history took place next, as The Badd Boys took on their debuting opponents 2.0.  The most professional tag-team in Canada couldn’t gain any sort of offense in the match – and were disposed of rather quickly.

-Beef Wellington seemingly had a plan in place for his match against Twiggy – in which he was aware of the fact that the Twigster’s little lady is Italian – and that he had eaten a big Easter Sunday lunch at her folks’ place earlier in the day.  The significance of this, for you folks who don’t know, is that Italian women LOVE to feed you – which left everyone’s favourite underdog rather stuffed come Sunday night.  Wellington exploited this by dishing out many variations of the gutbuster.  Twig tried his hardest, but ultimately, the well thought out offense of Beef proved to be too much for the little guy, as he fell victim to a rope assisted roll up.

-In the first ever Alco-Brawl – a nude Sexxxy Eddy defeated an almost nude Giant Tiger with a second rope moonsault.  The two men spent the better part of the evening drinking with fans in preparation for this match.  Alot of this was filmed, and will be included on the DVD release.  This match, however, words cannot do it justice.  This is what Inter Species Wrestling is all about.

-Moohammad had a rough night, as he squared off against the hottest dude in Inter Species Wrestling – Steve.  The Terrorist Cow had the upper hand for a good portion of the match, but was continuously distracted by his brother – Moostafa dancing at ringside – which allowed Steve to get the upper hand – and force the mad-bombing bovine to tap out to…sodomy.  Yes.  Anal penetration for the submission victory.

-Post match saw Moohammad tear his brother apart on the mic, stating that he was not a dancer, and was a disgrace to their family.  Moostafa then grabbed the mic, and asked to prove himself to his brother.  He called out the biggest, and baddest man backstage – as his way to show us all that his brother was wrong about him.  This brought out Maximus Primal.  The misunderstood cow mounted a flurry of offense, working over the legs of the big gladiator – but in the end, fell prey to Primal’s massive powerbomb.

-El Hijo Del Bamboo has found peace of mind, after finally defeating his nemesis Michael Von Payton.  Von Payton took it to the panda early, but was pinned after a flurry of offense – involving a sliced bread #2, ace crusher, and top rope banzai drop.  This was easily the young panda’s most impressive performance since joining the roster, as Von Payton is by no means a push over.

-Post match saw an unscheduled Izzie Deadyet hit the ring with Gore – they grabbed the mic from Tony, and claimed – once again – that Zombified was dead, and that alone – Izzie was unbeatable.  With that said, a familiar song blared over the speakers – causing the crowd to stand in anticipation as former Inter Species Champion – Viking made his return after a 2 year absence.  Viking took the mic, and in typical Viking fashion – spoke french that none of us could comprehend.  He then, very uncharacteristically, spoke english – reminding Izzie that he had never beaten him.  An impromptu match then got underway – and immediately spilled to the floor.  Through the chairs.  Pillar to post.  Chaos and mayhem, all around.  I can’t do this justice, either.  A crazy brawl, that saw Viking dropped across the backs of 2 chairs – followed by Izzie coming off the top with a Thesz-press brain bite submission for the win.

-Tony Barnes then made the announcement that our next show would take place on July 11, 2009 – as Inter Species Wrestling has once again been invited to take part in the Montreal date of the Vans Warped Tour.

-Main event saw Player Uno finally achieve the victory that’d avoided him since 2004 – when he defeated Kevin Steen.  Things were looking grim for our champion, as Steen worked over his legs for a majority of the match – locking him in his sharpshooter submission twice – with Uno making it to the ropes both times.  Chairs we brought into the ring, and the fight continued, as both men beat the everloving excrement out of one another.  In the end, the tables turned in a big way, as Uno was able to return the favor – locking Mr. Wrestling in his own sharpshooter for the submission victory, and milestone win.  Player Uno’s title reign has now lasted 14 months – with 6 defenses – making him the most successful champion in the title’s fairly short history.

Tony closed the show.  Yadda yadda yadda.  Buy the DVD!  Smiley

WARPED TOUR 2009!

Folks – as you read above – our next show will take place on July 11, 2009 at Parc Jean Drapeau in Montreal, Quebec – as part of the 2009 installment of the Vans Warped Tour.  The lineup is awesome, and we’re hoping to bring something cool to the tour – as we did in 2006.

And that’s all, folks!

ALCO-BRAWL!?

Folks, have we got a treat for you all.

Rounding off the card for this Sunday, April 12 – is a super special attraction match.  A match for you, the fans.  Especially those in attendance.  You see, this match – is all about fan interaction.  Alot of you have hung out with our performers before and after shows – shooting the breeze, and indulging in alcoholic beverages.  Good times all around, right?  We took notice of this, and decided we needed to book a special kind of match.  A match whose stipulation allows for moments like the ones mentioned above to occur before, during, and after it takes place.

Intrigued?  You should be.  As at “WHAM!  BAM!  Thank You, Ma’am!”, we’re taking two of the most popular men in Inter Species Wrestling.  The two who socialize with the fans most.  The two biggest partiers – in Giant Tiger and Sexxxy Eddy.  We’re going to sit them in the crowd, where they will hang out (and in GT’s case, probably belittle), drink, and party with the fans in attendance.  Buy them beers, people – because when they are deemed drunk enough – they will then be thrown into the ring, where any alcohol-induced friendliness will disappear – and we will present the first ever ALCO-BRAWL!

Eddy was all for the match, stating that he is out to score drinks, phone numbers, and prove that he can out-party anyone.  However, Giant Tiger’s response to the stipulation wasn’t as positive.  The Gingerbread Man was seemingly against doing anything that’d allow the fans to cheer for him – and has even hinted at no showing.  When our cameras went to his apartment to get comments from him regarding the match – he refused to answer the door.

Anyway…match signed, it’s happening…April 12!  YEAH!

BADDS RESPOND!

Alot of tension has been building over the past week.  Mainly between 2 teams set to face off on April 12.  A week ago, the BAAAAADDDD challenge was issued.  Mid week – accepted by 2.0 – who had scathing words for the Badd Boys.  Now, it’s Brad and Chad with something to say about their opponents for WHAM! BAM!  – Jagged and Shane Matthews.

UNO TO STEEN

Fresh off his most recent title defense in Philadelphia – Player Uno had something to say about the man he faces on April 12 – ‘Mr. Wrestling’ Kevin Steen.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn04-T0P4LA

C’EST TOUT!

And that’s it!  Full card announced – but you never know what else we may throw at you.  Extra matches?  A huuuge announcement?  Cinderblocks?  The only way to know for sure is to show up!  April 12 @ Foufounes Electriques in Montreal!

Hoping to see you all there.  Tell your friends!

HOW’BOUT A BIG ONE!?

We stated a few days ago that this week would be a huge one, news-wise – and we weren’t lying!  Two new matches signed this week – with one more in the works, to hopefully be announced this weekend.

BADD CHALLENGE?  ACCEPTED!

Folks, in some of the most astonishing Inter Species Wrestling news to date – the Badd Boys’ challenge has been accepted by a team that nobody expected would EVER step foot in our ring.  No, this is not to say that we’ve never tried to book them.  We have.  Many times.  However, every time – we got the same answer.  “We’re way too professional for a place like Inter Species Wrestling.”

Without any further explanation or hesitation – here is the video footage of their acceptance.

On April 12 – the baddest team in all of wrestling will take on the most professional team in Canada – as the Badd Boys collide with Jagged and Shane Matthews – the team of 2.0! Mindblowing!

GOT BEEF?

We received a call this week, from a very irate Beef Wellington – who had several complaints about our latest DVD release – SLAMTASIA 2 (available at smartmarkvideo.com – where there is a sale going on right now).  Most notable, were his complaints about the commentary track for his match against Giant Tiger – voiced by myself and Twiggy.  Beef threatened me for comments made, and stated that he wished I was a wrestler – so that he could get me in the ring and put a good ol’ legal beating on me.  However, that’ll never happen – as I am a fat kid, with no desire to step into the squared circle.

He then focused his rage on my commentary partner – the Twigster – requesting a match against him on April 12.  Twiggy then stated that Wellington was just butt-hurt over the comments, because they were all true.  He followed up by stating that he used the term “butt-hurt” to elaborate the fact that the comments made were mostly about Giant Tiger having intercourse with the butt of Beef Wellington – and it probably caused a little pain.

Beef was pissed.  Match was signed.  And here’s the pretty matchup graphic, made by my partner in crime – Matt Fortune!

IN CONCLUSION

We here at Inter Species Wrestling miss Philadelphia.  Mostly Wawa.

Final release this Sunday!  One more match!  And an announcement?!

Stay tuned.
