Photo Essay: IWA East Coast “A Need To Bleed”
February 8, 2008 by Rudy Panucci24 hours removed from an incredible night of wrestling, your loyal PopCultster has uploaded a batch of photos depicting highlights from the evening. Presented for your enjoyment, the PopCult-eye-view of IWA East Coast’s “A Need To Bleed 2008.” Above, you see IWA East Coast’s main man, Mad Man Pondo, moments after being tossed out of the ring during his “No rope barbed wire match.” More pics following the jump:
After gathering himself, Smothers challenged Super Oprah to a dance off, for the European Southern Light Heavyweight Title!
Sadly, smothers could not hope to win the dance-off this night, as Super Oprah proceeded to deliver a stunning lap dance to IWA EC’s senior official “Bad Kitty” Kris Westfall.
It was epic.
After the dance-off was interrupted by wrestling, Super Oprah left the ring as the NEW European Southern Light Heavyweight champ! Smothers could not withstand the double-whammy of Super Oprah’s two finishing moves, “The Book Club,” and “The Color Purple.”
Your new European Southern Light Heavyweight Champion….
Former WWE Superstar Eugene brought his special skills to IWA EC.
As I said, Eugene was a real hit with the crowd. Here he is meeting the fans.
Other memorable matches saw Warpig demolishing Cobra.
Juggulator pursued Guido Andretti all over the South Charleston Community Center before getting the pin.
Brain Damage destroyed Viper in a match that was so bloody that they won’t let me post photos here at thegazz.com. So here’s a photo of Brain Damage with IWA EC announcer Kevin Pauley. Moments later, he left Pauley bleeding, in the fetal position.
The main event saw Mad Man Pondo facing Drake Younger in a match where the ropes were removed and replaced with barb-wire. As you can see here, that can be an upleasant situation.
Pondo emerged victorious after the two men beat the living crap out of each other.
It was another night of memorable mayhem, courtesy of IWA East Coast. Check back with PopCult for information on when this show is released on DVD.
