WARPED 2010!

Just wanted to get some info out there in regards to our upcoming July Warped 2010 appearances!

On Saturday, July 10 – Inter Species Wrestling makes it’s return to Parc Jean-Drapeau for the tour’s Montreal stop.  come check us our between sets on the major stage(s) for tons of super-fun pro wrestling action…and hopefully less rain than last year.  July 10 will mark the third time we’ve been featured as part of the tour – and we’re looking to present a neat format for not only the live crowd – but the DVD buying fans.  More on that to come…

((Tickets available @ http://www.livenation.com/edp/eventId/420373))

And then on the following day – Sunday, July 11 – Inter Species Wrestling once again invades the great state of Connecticut, as we’ve also been invited to partake in Hartford’s Warped Tour festivities! We’re not coming alone, though – folks.  We’re also proud to announce a partnership with Massachusetts’ hottest new promotion – All Star Expo! It’ll be a doozy!

((Tickets available @ http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/1D0044869695536B?artistid=807329))

HOW IT WORKS

For anyone wondering how the Warped Tour shows work – here’s the skinny.

A full card is booked for the day.  We put on matches between sets on the major stages, usually 2-3 over the 25-30 minute intervals between the sets.  For anyone coming just for Inter Species Wrestling – we advise you to NOT buy tickets too far in advance.  Please wait until you know the forecast for the day – because while the Warped Tour itself goes on rain or shine – we do not.  No need to worry about a sellout – as the venues are huge – and there’s always 16-20,000 people with plenty of space.

Let’s all keep our fingers crossed for no rain!

T-SHIRTS AND WHATNOT!

BUY OUR STUFF!

We’ve still got quite a few t-shirts left!  Order one!  Order two!  Buy one at any show I’m at.

$20, or $15 if you have big boobs and wear a smaller size to make us – and you(r boobs) – look awesome(r)!  I’m a pig!  Booyah!

Also – buy our dvds!  www.smartmarkvideo.com!

MORE STUFF?

Warped isn’t the only thing we’re doing this summer, folks.  Inter Species Wrestling will venture out to a state that’s basically unknown to us n’ stuff.

Intrigued?

Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks!

GT RESPONDS – AGAIN

A few weeks back, Steven Weiner issued a challenge to current Inter Species Champion – Giant Tiger for SLAMTASIA 3 on April 3, 2010.  Less than thrilled with the response he received from the champion – he had this to say.

It took a little while, but we received the following call from the Gingerbread Man’s Hollywood Estate – seemingly very fed up with Weiner.

Title match signed.

THE PORTAL VS. ??

The Osirian Portal of Ophidian and Amasis are one of the most exciting young tag teams in all of professional wrestling.  The world traveled duo have held their own against the best, and have held prestigious titles – despite only competing for a few years now.  They are a team we’ve wanted in Inter Species Wrestling for a while now – and we’re pleased as punch to have them.

A few weeks ago, we showed you a video from the Portal – challenging any team in Inter Species Wrestling.  As we said back then – when it comes to us and tag teams – they come, but they seldom stay.  With the Badd Boys busy, and El Generico unavailable to team with Twiggy on April 3 – we had a hard time trying to figure out who we could put in there with a team like the Osirians, in order to produce the most exciting match possible.

Then it hit us.

In 2005 – an army was formed in Inter Species Wrestling.  Just like our tag team ranks – members came and went – but in the end, there were two.  And they formed a tandem unlike any other in Inter Species Wrestling
history.  Lead by an undead Haitian witch doctor – they tore through Inter Species Wrestling for 3 years, until conflict tore them apart – and they went their seperate ways in early 2009.

The call was put in, and through a series of grunts and moans – we were somehow able to get them to reunite for one night only – to represent their motherland of Haiti, and Inter Species Wrestling against the Egyptian outsiders.

On April 3, 2010 – at SLAMTASIA 3 – The Osirian Portal will meet Zombified and Izzie Deadyet – The Walking Dead.

This could be a show stealer.

BEEF VS. STARR

We teased it a few weeks ago.  A former Inter Species Wrestling competitor was looking to make his return in Danbury, CT.  We then confirmed, via video, that it was no other than Beef Wellington looking to rejoin our ranks.  Wellington was scheduled to compete in a match in Montreal, Quebec – at August 2009′s “4 Years of THIS?!” event – but instead – chose to pull himself from the scheduled contest – and quit Inter Species Wrestling altogether.

Upon hearing of our upcoming return to the United States – Beef got in touch with Inter Species Wrestling’s commish – Llakor – and begged to be taken back.  He apologized profusely for the way he
quit, claimed he really needed the $20 payday associated with his appearance, and stated that if he was let back in – he’d take on any “star” we want to put him in there with on April 3.

Upon hearing this – Llakor, who has a soft spot for Beef Wellington – as he knows Beef is a big part of why Inter Species Wrestling was even born – accepted him back with open arms.  As for which “star” he chose for
Beef to face?  Well, that was simple.  Upon hearing the word, only one name came to mind.  A person who made their US debut with Inter Species Wrestling in August of 2009 at “The Worst that Could Happen…in Connecticut”.  A veteran of many hard hitting, hardcore brawls – like Wellington.  The lovely, and talented – Addy Starr

Can Addy improve her US Wrestling record to 2-0?  Or will she get punched in the ass?  We’ll find out in a little over 3 weeks!

NEW SIGNEE?

Along with rehiring Beef Wellington – Llakor also informed us that he signed an impressive standout from the Maritimes by the name of Bastian Snow.  Very little is known about Snow, but from what we’ve been told – he’s someone to watch out for.

Bastian Snow will face off with another newcomer to Inter Species Wrestling – Frankie Arion.

CARD SO FAR

PLUS! – Beef Wellington vs. Addy Starr!  Frankie Arion vs. Bastian Snow!  MORE!?

Stay tuned!

GIANT TIGER vs. STEVEN WEINER?

Last week, a video was posted online by one Steven “The Turtle” Weiner – challenging Inter Species Champion – Giant Tiger to a match at SLAMTASIA 3 in Danbury, Connecticut.  Innocently plugging the show at first, Weiner then went on to speak of past issues he’s had with the dirty zookeeper, and then the challenge was issued.  This video, as we mentioned – not posted by us – came as a bit of a shock to us all.

If you haven’t seen it, check it out.

Just 2 days ago, the champion left the following voicemails on my phone.  Not all relevant, but some referring to Weiner and his challenge.

It would appear as if Giant Tiger has not accepted the challenge, and the search for an opponent is still on.

FAMILY MATTERS

While waiting for an opponent to be named for his second title defense on American soil – current reigining Other Champion Moohammad the Terrorist Cow hasn’t been in the best of moods.  His pet – Flip – lost a hard fought Lego Deathmatch at 4 YEARS of THIS?! (available on DVD now).
He can forgive that.  His younger brother, however, is what’s got him
pissed off.  See, at that same show – after Moohammad successfully
defended his title against James Stone, in a match that left him severely injured – young Moostafa
took the mic, and in an attempt to impress his younger brother -
challenged the biggest, toughest, and strongest in the locker room to
come out, and face him.  Dancing around, and not taking his opponent
seriously – another notch was added to the young calf’s seemingly
ever-growing losing streak.

Post show – older brother sat
younger brother down – informing him that terrorists don’t screw
around.  If he wants to carry on in the family business, he has to get
serious.  A defiant Moostafa then stood up, like James Van Der Beek in
Varsity Blues, and said “I don’t want to be a terrorist.  I want to be
a dancer!”  He then stomped off.

Since that hot August night,
Moohammad has been pissed.  Yes, he’s been pissed for like 6 months.
He’s a terrorist.  They don’t forget.

He made a request.  As
a way to teach his younger brother a lesson – he asked us to sign a
match between his loyal pet – Flip – and his disobedient brother -
Moostafa – for April 3 at the Heirloom Arts Theatre.  Can the reformed
burger flipper instill some second-hand tough love in the bovine
b-boy?  I guess we’ll find out.

MORE TO COME

We
just received word that an impressive New England talent, as well as a
popular tag-team have both been signed to make their Inter Species
Wrestling debut at SLAMTASIA 3.  What will they do?  Who will they
face?  Has the Badd Challenge been accepted?

Also, a return of a former roster member?

Hmmm…

CARD SO FAR

First Time Ever – Player Uno vs. Eddie Kingston
Inter Species Title – Giant Tiger (c) vs. “no f*ckin’ idea.”
Other Title – Moohammad the Terrorist Cow (c) vs. America?
Badd Challenge – The Badd Boys vs.
Fatal 4 Way – Twiggy vs. El Hijo Del Bamboo vs. Stinky the Homeless Guy vs. Pinkie Sanchez
Family Matters – Moostafa vs. Flip

Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks!

KINGSTON vs. UNO

Last week, we stated the obvious in announcing that on April 3 – in Danbury, CT – Eddie Kingston will make his Inter Species Wrestling debut.  (Yes, we know.  He was on the flyer.  Are you done?) What we didn’t announce was who he’d be facing that night at SLAMTASIA 3.  Well, last week – it was also announced that Giant Tiger would not grant Player Uno a rematch for his title, leaving the former/longest reigning Inter Species Champion without a match.

We thought about it.  Fans have seen Uno receive beatdowns from some fierce competitors in the past – like Kevin Steen, El Generico, and Hallowicked.  And now, no longer a champion – an extremely frustrated 8-bit luchador is looking for a fight.  Why not put him in there against someone who will bring him one?

At SLAMTASIA 3 – we present a first time singles encounter – as Player Uno takes on “The Last of a Dying Breed” – Eddie Kingston.

Words from the King.

…BADD CHALLENGE…

Seems like I end up writing the same thing every show, but on April 3 – The Badd Boys – Brad and Chad
will once again roll into Connecticut looking for a fight.  The foul
mouthed, chain smoking, biker-slut banging identical twins have once
again issued an open challenge to anyone with the nuts to get in the
ring with them.

Who will it be?  Only time will tell.

Come see the Badds are they’re meant to be seen on April 3, at the Heirloom Arts Theatre.

MOOHAMMAD vs. AMERICA

Reigning Other Champion – Moohammad the Terrorist Cow
- will defend his title for the second time on American soil in
Danbury, Connecticut.  Who against?  We can’t tell you.  Why?  Well,
because we don’t know yet.

Our official American Ambassador – John Maestro – hit us up, stating that he felt that since the mad-bombing bovine hates America so much (as he stated during his match against Stinky in East Hartford, CT in ’09)
- he should face his foe, and take on an American born wrestler on
April 3, 2010.  We thought this idea was fantastic, and asked Maestro
to find us the most American wrestler he could.

We want a man who represents the hard work ethic, the apple pie, the stars, the stripes, and all that jazz.

As of yet, a suitable opponent has not been found.  If you’d like to help Maestro with his search – send all suggestions to info@interspecieswrestling.com.

CARD SO FAR

First Time Ever – Player Uno vs. Eddie Kingston
Inter Species Title – Giant Tiger (c) vs. “no f*ckin’ idea.”
Other Title – Moohammad the Terrorist Cow (c) vs. America?
Badd Challenge – The Badd Boys vs.
Fatal 4 Way – Twiggy vs. El Hijo Del Bamboo vs. Stinky the Homeless Guy vs. Pinkie Sanchez

Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks!

GIANT TIGER IN CONNECTICUT

As announced on Tope Con Coolio last week – Inter Species Champion, Giant Tiger, is set to make his long-awaited American in-ring debut at SLAMTASIA 3 in Danbury, Connecticut.  A homecoming of sorts, for the man who resides in Hollywood, California – but seemingly only wrestles in Montreal, Quebec.

This agreement was the end result to a series of long negotiations, in which the champion made many demands.  All of which we, begrudgingly, met to keep our GT-sympathizing American fans happy.

The biggest demand made by the champ was that in order for him to appear in Danbury, we were not allowed to book him in a match against current #1 contender Kevin Steen, or the man he beat for the title – Player Uno.  When asked who his ideal opponent for April 3 would be – the gingerbread man simply stated “no f*ckin’ clue.”

We’ll have more on this story as it develops.

LAST OF A DYING BREED

Also confirmed on Tope Con Coolio was the debut of someone we’ve wanted in Inter Species Wrestling for quite a while – “The King of Diamonds” himself, Eddie Kingston.  For anyone not familiar with the king, check out the video posted below.  We’ll have more news concerning Kingston’s debut in the coming weeks.

FIRST MATCH ANNOUNCEMENT

Alright, folks.  We’ve went 2 releases without one – so let’s get to it.

On April 3, you will witness a 4 way contest between 4 competitors, looking to climb the ranks here in Inter Species Wrestling.

They are…

Twiggy – Inter Species Wrestling’s resident air guitar hero.

El Hijo Del Bamboo – the pro wrestling panda, making his first ever appearance on American soil.

Stinky the Homeless Guy – the happiest hobo, ever.

Pinkie Sanchez – debuted in East Hartford last August, and…hasn’t quite been the same since…

Four exciting competitors in one match – with the winner receiving a future title shot!

CARD SO FAR

Inter Species Title – Giant Tiger (c) vs. “no f*ckin’ idea.”
Fatal 4 Way – Twiggy vs. El Hijo Del Bamboo vs. Stinky the Homeless Guy vs. Pinkie Sanchez

And the Inter Species Wrestling debut of Eddie Kingston – and MUCH MORE!

Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks!

IS “THREEQUEL” A WORD?

Hibernation began early for us in 2009.  Shortly after our August anniversary spectacular – 4 Years of This!? – we decided that we’d done enough that year, and it was time to relax, refuel, and reflect on our accomplishments.

-SLAMTASIA 2 in February brought our biggest Foufs attendance yet.
-King of Trios in March gave us our first taste of exposure in the US.
-WHAM!  BAM!  Thank you, Ma’am in April, and the debut of the Alcobrawl.  The most talked about match in Inter Species Wrestling history.
-The Vans Warped Tour in July saw the show go on, even with the biggest rainstorm of the year looming.
-The Worst That Could Happen…in Connecticut in August.  Our first ever full show in the United States.
-The aforementioned big Anniversary show.  Celebrating 4 years of us.
-Being featured on G4 TV’s Electric Playground.

There was simply nothing more we could have done in 2009 – so we decided to sleep through the cold Canadian winter – and try our luck again come springtime.

And here we go…

Inter Species Wrestling are absolutely JAZZED to announce that on April 3, 2010 – we will make our way down south to the Heirloom Arts Theatre in lovely Danbury, Connecticut – where we will proudly present SLAMTASIA 3 – our second ever full show in the United States of America.

Our first visit ended with a chorus of “Please come back” chants.  Well, here we are.  Bring your friends.

Stay tuned for more info as it’s made available.  We’re stoked.
