G'day all, I've decided to write this report myself instead of copying others. (Includes other outside ring events)

We arrived at the IWA Arena (Bankstown Trotting Club) about two hours before the event. Even though I'm still legally underage, the guy at the sign-in place told me where to sign without me even making any motions towards him. I was there with my brother-in-law, Dean.

I went upstairs to get at the start of the line and found only a couple of people up there so we got good seats.

Before the doors opened, I listened with some humour to a conversation between a couple of guys in the line. It followed along these lines,
-Fan A. Did you see Superstars last night.
-Fan B. Nope, watching Nitro.
-A. You should have seen the Slam Of The Week.
-B. Involve Mick (Foley)
-A. Nope. Jarrett and Blow (That's how he actually said it). Blow did a runing slam or somethin' and Jarrett landed on his head.
-B. Was he hurt?
-A. What do you think!
-B. Guess he wasn't then. How was it on the scale?
-A. Foley or ECW.
-B. Either!
-A. Foley-0.5, ECW-1
-Fan C. Must of been shit, anyway the doors are opening.

The Doors opened and we got seats at a table by ourselves (they seat around 8) on the corner of the ring. We had good view of the ring because only kids sat in front of us.

After stalling us, Paris made the announcement that the show would start in 5 minutes. 5 minutes later we said the show would start in 5 minutes.

The show started with the usual hype from Paris, Tyrone and Ed Lock. The only real news was that a new President would be named later in the show.

Interview-Tyrone Townsend with TNT Kid
- TNT claims that an abduction has taken place and tells the video guys to show the footage.
- After some initial fuzzyness (or Fozzyness?) it can be seen that ref Fozzy was attacked backstage by Mark Mercedes, his manager Curtis Hughes and "Quick Draw" Michael Formosa.
- TNT tells Mercedes to watch his back as he attempts to find Fozzy.
- With no other ref, Formosa has the duties till Fozzy is found.

Match 1- Bill Condolion vs Vulcan (from Gladiators)
- Commentators talk about Bill's new attitude (or lack of). He claims to be going back to mat wrestling with no cheating or interference.
- Vulcan looks big, have to see how he moves in the ring before I pass judgement on him.
- Lots of armdrags and armbars by Vulcan during the match.
- Condolion dominates by working over Vulcan knees to eliminate his size and power advantage.
- Leg-locks and weird submission holds by Condolion have Vulcan almost crying.
- Vulcan limps to a recovery only to be taken down by Bill again.
- Condolion attempts to suplex Vulcan who reverses it into a small package for the win.
- They hug after the match.

Match 2- 7ft Thunder vs Greg Von Stekker
- 7ft Thunder won with the Thunderbomb

Match 3- Steven Swann vs Michael Premudico and "The Aryan Warrior" Medhi Basari
- Steven Swann after Medhi turned on Premudico and locked him in the Camel Clutch allowing Swann to put Premudico in the Swann Song

Match 4- Mark Mercedes (c) vs TNT Kid for the IWA Heavyweight Title
- Mark Mercedes won after TNT hit the Detonator, Formosa pulled Fozzy out of the ring and gave an ultra quick three count for Mercedes who rolled up TNT.

(NOTE: Todd didn't get a chance to finish the report because he left for the holidays a day early)
