This past weekend I drove down to Waterloo, Iowa for the George Tragos/Lou Thesz 2010 Hall of Fame inductions at the
Dan Gable International Wrestling Institute and Museum. On Friday night
Impact Pro Wrestling presented a card at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center as part of the HoF weekend festivities. Before the card there was a Q & A with Mick Foley and Terry Funk and then a Fan Fest with many of the HoF members and award winners. This was my first time at an IPW event so there were many wrestlers who I had not seen before.
In the opening match
James Jefferies defeated
Sparrow w/Kiandra. Jefferies got the win while holding on to the ropes but ref Billy J was out of position to see the rule braking. Sparrow attacked Jefferies after the match.
IPW tag team champions
Justin Decent &
Ugly defeated
Marshall Scott & Montoya X to retain their belts.
ROH champion
Tyler Black defeated
AJ Smooth.
Harley Jackson pinned
Anthony Drake in less then 2 minutes. Drake looked a little like Beautiful Bobby from the
Half Pint Brawlers TV show on Spike. Drake sure looked like a midget compared to the much larger Jackson.
IPW heavyweight champion
Tony Sly defeated
Matty Star to retain the belt.Sly got the pin after his manager hit Star with the title belt.
Nicky Free pinned former 2 time ROH champion
Austin Aries.
The main event for the night was a 20 man over the top rope battle royal with the winner recieving $5,00 and a shot at the heavyweight title.
Matty Star won the match when he eliminated Tony Sly.
