The December 29 edition of IZW TV on GFL was the final show
of the year and the first show coming on the heels of Chaotic Christmas. The
night was packed full of great wrestling, thriving feuds, and even wedding
planning! Don’t miss the final show of 2012
as IZW brings out the heavy hitters and crushes one, final homerun as we head
into the New Year.
The night kicked off with the owner of IZW, “The Natural
Born Leader” Johnny Z front and center with another episode of “Catching Some
Z’s with Johnny Z” where he brought out his guest “Number 1” Shawn McHale to
dish on the impeding wedding between “The Bronze Bull” Aaron Neil and “The
Golden Goddess” Venus. McHale barely
started to give the deets on the Golden Engagement when Madam Commissioner
Erica showed up, in part, to scold McHale for taking part in the
conversation. Z used the opportunity to
change the conversation and talk about Impact Elite, pirates and even Jordan
Jacobs, all with Erica being the brunt of every punch line imaginable. The conversation finally came full circle as
the Golden Engagement was back on the table and Z put McHale on the hot seat by
asking why Neil proposed to Venus in the first place. Erica intervened once again and dismissed
McHale to the back before Z could pull out some juicy tidbits.
To open up the in ring action, newly crowned 2-time Impact
Division Champion Jermaine Johnson defeated Kyle “Machine Gun” Kelly in an
Impact Rules Match. After going through
hell and back a week earlier at Chaotic
Christmas in the Impact X Match, where Johnson defeated four other
opponents, being one on one with Kelly was a welcome change for the Leader of
the Hype Section. Johnson tore into
Kelly with forearms and fists before Kelly put his weight into things and
stopped Johnson’s attack cold by showing off his own power. At one point, Kelly stood on the second rope
looking to jump on Johnson, but at the last possible second, Johnson moved out
of the way and Kelly hit the canvas hard.
Three clotheslines by Johnson later and the wrestlers tumbled outside of
the ring. But the action quickly
returned to the squared circle where Kelly locked Johnson up in a tight bear
hug. Johnson’s lungs and ribcage were
being crushed under the pressure, but Johnson landed a series of hard elbows to
the base of Kelly’s skull, totally legal in an Impact Rules Match, and then
followed up with a modified sitdown Rock Bottom. But Kelly’s recuperative power was on full
display as he kicked out of the move and landed a side slam of his own that
crushed Johnson’s midsection even more.
After a small comeback by Johnson, Kelly again landed a devastating
slam, this time a power slam that could be heard throughout the Impact Arena. In the move of the match, Kelly grabbed
Johnson by the wrist and walked up to the top rope, reminiscent of The
Undertaker’s Old School move, only to have Johnson flip the switch and catapult
Kelly from the ropes slamming him down to the mat. Johnson then followed up with an ES2 and got
the pinfall against the rough, rugged and super athletic big man Kyle
Kelly.
“The Bronze Bull” Aaron Neil won a hard fought slugfest
against O’Malley that was all over the arena as these two gladiators destroyed
one another with nothing but bone-crushing moves that resembled a prize fight
in the heavyweight division from boxing’s golden era. Very few wrestlers can match Neil strength
for strength and blow for blow, but O’Malley did just that and then some for
much of the match, including crushing Neil to the mat using his own weight as
Neil went for a press slam, which O’Malley then followed up with a body slam
and an overhand right hand to Jordan Jacobs who came down from the announcers’
booth to try and intervene. “The Brass
Bull” Bobby Starr took a right hand too, but not before throwing his brass
scepter to his mentor Neil which Neil then used to cave in the forehead of
O’Malley while Erica distracted the ref.
O’Malley was fighting a numbers game and his number finally got punched
as Impact Elite was too much to overcome all in one match.
In the main event, Double D defended his World Championship
by defeating Bobby Starr. D unleashed
the beast as he was mano y mano with the last man to beat him in the ring as
Starr defeated D a few weeks ago in a non-title bout. D showcased his vast wrestling repertoire at
Starr’s expense at one point showing he could just about cripple the challenger
with the seldom used but very effective arm ringer. Later, Starr changed the tone of the match in
a big way, once the action got outside of the ring. Starr smashed the Champion’s head against the
ring apron and threw D back into the ring, where he proceeded to try and stomp
a hole in D’s head. D and Starr traded
chops in the corner with Double D getting the upper hand in the exchanges. Starr tried to escape the onslaught by
ducking out of the ring, but D followed up with a springboard over the top rope
and pancaked Starr to the ground on impact.
Starr turned the tables again by crotching Double D on the top
turnbuckle and threw punches in bunches as D was doubled over in pain. A sunset flip by Double D followed by several
knees to Starr’s midsection and a knee to Starr’s head swung the bout back in
D’s favor. With the Impact Arena going
crazy by this point, Starr pulled off an incredible head-butt that stopped
Double D in his tracks, but shortly after D landed a knee to Starr’s face
followed by an enziguri that crumbled Starr.
From the outside of the ring, Neil tried to intervene, giving Starr
enough time to recover and hit a spinebuster, followed by a single leg Boston
Crab attempt and a clothesline as Double D lay semi-conscious in the corner of
the ring. Starr, Venus and Neil then had
an argument about the brass scepter, as it looked like Neil was trying to give
Starr the weapon and get him intentionally disqualified. This skirmish gave Double D enough time to
land a round house kick to Starr’s head followed by ten knees to the face. D then landed his patented crossbody from the
top rope and got the pinfall to retain his title…but Double D’s night wasn’t
over.
As D celebrated, The Convict came down to the ring and they
went at it with D attacking first with a series of punches and knees to The
Convict’s head that had absolutely no effect on the King of the Yard. The Convict shook off D’s attack and
delivered the 15 to 20 that put Double D’s lights out. The Convict has set his sights on the
ultimate prize in IZW, the World Heavyweight Championship and that paints a
huge bullseye on Double D’s chest heading into 2013. D has overcome every obstacle that he’s ever
faced, but The Convict is a rare collection of intellect, strength and
downright savagery. It’s anyone’s guess
what will happen in the New Year, but there’s only one sure fire way to find out! Tune in to IZW every Saturday live on GFL.tv.
