(WEST PATERSON, NJ)- Live Independent Wrestling Federation action returns with the Fifth Annual Commissioner’s Cup Tag Team Tournament Weekend this Saturday, June 23, 7:30 pm and Sunday, June 24, 4 pm at IWF Centre, 32 Willow Way, West Paterson, NJ. The events feature an eight-team, two-day, single-elimination competition, plus several non-tournament bouts. Here’s a preview…
Â
The card for day one this Saturday, June 23rd features four First-Round Matches. In the Main Event, new IWF Tag Team Champions Kevin Knight and Nick Sabre tangle with former IWF Champion and OVW Wrestler Damian Adams, the 340-pound mastodon Franciz, and Commissioner Rich Ross. Ross, furious his family lost the Tag Team Titles to Knight and Sabre last month at Mayhem, has recruited Adams to join Franciz in this special 3-on-2 Handicap Match with the Titles on the Line!
Â
IWF Heavyweight Champion Tony Torres and Junior Champion Antonio Rivera with Eloy Fiesta of Latin Revolution team to face the combination of former American Champion Chris Steeler and Jana. Torres and Rivera are former two-time Tag Team Champions and look to capture their first cup. It will be interesting to see how Steeler and Jana mesh as a team after Steeler has recently adopted a win-at-all-costs mentality.
Â
Former Tag Team Champions Burnin’ Mike Durnin and Steve Camacho square off against American Champion Travis Blake and former American Champion Outlaw Shane O’Brien of The Ross Family. Blake is a former four-time Tag Team Champion while the Outlaw is a former two-time Tag Team Champion, and they look to combine their expertise as they team up for the first-time-ever in an effort to capture the cup.
Â
The final Commissioner’s Cup First-Round Match June 23rd pits IWF Wrestling School rookies Rey Calitri and Dan Schwartz against former American Champion Justin Corino and the rugged Frank Scoleri. Can the rookies defy the odds or will Corino and Scoleri continue their recent dominance?Â
