NIW Cottage Grove, MN 2/2/2008

Northern Impact Wrestling returned to action after 5 months of no action. The promotions return was a big one as they had signed Nora "Molly Holly" Greenwald to wrestle in her first match since quiting the WWE. Her opponent was not being revealed untill the night of the match.
In the opening contest Nate Bash defeated The Black Stallion with a roll up. February is black history month.
"The Professional" Benjamin Sailer defeated "The Anarchist" Arik Cannon with his Bengerman Suplex.
101 Proof beat The Junk Squad to win the NIW tag team titles. After the match Pete Huge turned on his partner Kleck Micheals.
In his first title defense Darin Corbin retained his belt against "the Suntan Superman" Cody O'Neill. This was the first one on one meeting between these two though they have been in many matches against each other in tag team action.
Nora Greenwald & Ryan Cruz beat Arya Daivari & the C.E.O. of NIW. At the beginning of the night the C.E.O. announced that Greenwald would be in a tag team mactch against himself and Daivari and she could pick anyone else as her partner. She wasn't able to choose as Cruz went to the ring to take the spot as Greenwald's partner.
The Prophets 26 month reign as NIW Impact champion ended when he lost a ladder match against "6% Bodyfat" Rob James.

F1rst Wrestling Minneapolis, MN 4/22/2007

Pro Wrestling returned to First Ave night club in Minneapolis, MN this last Sunday night as F1rst Wrestling debuted in the building.

The card started out with a 4 corner match between The Prophet, Cody O'Neill, Nate Bash and Rob James. This match had some great cruiser weight action. In the end both O'Neill and James had pinned Bash and Prophet to win the match.

The second match of the night was Rain Vs Lacey. These two have wrestled against each other many times in the past and they have also teamed together to form the Minnesota Home Wrecking Crew. On this night Lacey got the win with a hand full of Rains tights.

101 Proof (Bret O'Brian & Venom) beat the I Guys(Marek Brave & Shane Hollister). This was the MN debut for the I Guys.

In his 3rd to last indy wrestling match before heading to the WWE Colt Cabana pinned Aaron Corbin after a frog splash. Lot's of comedy in this match.

What started out as a singles match turned in to a tag team title match for the 3XW tag team titles. Ryan Cruz started against Chris Jordan but Jordans Junk Squad partner Pete Huge got involved which brought out Cruz's Northstar Express partner Darin Corbin. NSE made the challenge for their 3XW belts and the Junk Squad accepted. Cruz got the pin on Huge after Jordan hit Huge with a top rope elbow drop. After the match Huge and Jordan got into an argument and seem to have parted ways.

Brody Hoofer beat Joey Envy. It's nice to see Hoofer drop the 'Big Daddy' name.

In the main event Arik Cannon beat Tyler Black. This was billed as 'MTV Wrestling Society X stars

NIW Amery, WI 4/15/2007

Nothern Impact Wrestling was back in Amery, WI at the TAC for Spring Breakthrough:Formal Edition. Last year the Formal Editon was held in Crystal, MN and there were a bunch of fans that came in formal wear but not as many this year.
The opening match of the night saw Darin Corbin defeat Kleck Micheals.
Ryan Stone w/Spiderbaby beat Ryan Sax. Too many Ryan's on this card. The loser of this match should have lost the rights to use the name Ryan.
NIW Impact champion The Prophet retained his title in a triple threat match against Rob James and Arya Daivari. This match was mostly a two on one as Daivari joined forces with James to try to beat The Prophet.
Malikite w/Spiderbaby beat Ryan Cruz. I think Spiderbaby may have had something to do with the out come of this match.
Arik Cannon beat Joey Envy.
The NIW tag team champions The Junk Squad beat 101 Proof to retain their titles.
