IHLW Saturday Night Insanity June 1, 2002 DARK MATCHES The New Power Rangers (Battle Ranger, Ludxor White and Venum Black) and Yoshihiro Tajiri defeated Maximum Pain, Maxx Payne and Fidel Sierra when Battle Ranger pinned Sierra with the Dragon Suplex in 0:06:25. Rating: 1/4* Perry Saturn defeated Razor Ramirez via pinfall in 0:07:48. Rating: ** Some decent ring work by Saturn and Ramirez. Ramirez kicks out of the DVD and Rings of Saturn but gets distracted by Albert and walks into a big kick and a pin. The Russians defeated Reckless Youth and The Perfect Creation when Zandig pinned Reckless after a powerslam in 0:03:59. Rating: 3/4* TAPED FOR TV Paul E. Dangerously and Tony Schivante welcome us to Saturday Night Insanity. They mention the supercard results, grimacing at the mention of Tiger Ali Singh and his flag burning. Goldberg is not here this week because he's still recovering from his injuries at the supercard. "Unbelievable" by INXS brings out Julio Fantastico. He calls out Mike Modest. "Mellow Yellow" brings out Modest. Julio wants to know why Modest turned on him at the supercard. Modest says he never wanted to be paired with Fantastico in the first place. He doesn't like Julio - he's too flashy, too flamboyant. Or in other words, not modest enough. Julio Fantastico pinned Michael Modest with the Superkick in 0:05:43. Rating: * 3/4 Fantastico gets the Superkick to win, but Low Ki runs in after the match and kicks the crap out of Fantastico. Modest recovers and delievers a Natural Driver for good measure. They challenge Julio to a tag match next week. Chris Michaels pinned Bam Bam Bigelow with the Flying Elbowdrop in 0:06:53. Rating: * 1/2 Taped segment is shown with Tiger Ali Singh. He promises that his flag burning is but the beginning of his reign of terror! "Cult of Personality" by Living Color brings out Hulk Horace and The Disciple. Horace strikes the usual Hulk poses. The Disciple tells the crowd they need to embrace the Human Union of Life and Karma. Some smark in the crowd holds up a sign that says "you ripped HULK off SK!" The crowd boos as well. The Disciple calls the crowd heretics and challenges The Stinger next week for his Florida Title. "Jacksonville Kid" by Lynyrd Skynyrd brings out Shane Eden to get some cheers from the crowd. The Jacksonville Kid pinned Hulk Horace after a belly-to-back suplex in 0:09:07. Rating: -** Crowd was happy about this one. Kid dominates to start, but Horace hulks up. But the Kid kills the comeback with a lariat and a suplex for the pin. Eden takes The Apocalypse after the match and Horace gets ready for the Big Leg Drop, but The Stinger chases the heels off. Psicosis and La Parka defeated Super Parka and Psicosis II when Parka pinned Psicosis II after a flying bodypress in 0:07:07. Rating: *** Super Parka ranted before the match in Spanish, which the announcers translated to say that he thinks Psicosis used him as a tool to get revenge. So now HE'S out for revenge. The match itself was what you'd expect from these teams. But the Head Hunters came down near the end and punked out Super Parka, distracting Psicosis II. But when Psic and La Parka celebrated their win, they got punked out too. The Head Hunters just totally destroy by teams and then moonsault all four luchadores in sequence. Schivante wonders why are the Head Hunters have returned and are on this spree of attacking IHLW tag teams? Cosmo*Soldier pinned Great Sasuke after an inverted DDT in 0:03:33. Rating: * 3/4 (Cosmo*Soldier retained the IHLW Lucha Title.) Rematch from last week's supercard. Again a disappointing match and again Cosmo wins with an inverted DDT. Sasuke wants another match next week, but with 2/3 falls. Cosmo agrees. "Anarchy in the USA" brings out Funkin Rotten. Terry Funk says he and Axl Rotten want a shot at the titles they never lost. Schivante goes on a lengthy spiel about the different IHLW eras and how Funkin Rotten really never did lose the tag titles. Dangerously wonders why the hell IHLW even tries to keep their history straight considering how screwy it is because of the different eras. He suggests the booker must be a perfectionist... No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match Public Enemy defeated Funkin' Rotten when Rocco Rock pinned Funk after the Drive By in 0:03:38. Rating: 1/4* (Public Enemy retained the IHLW Tag Titles.) Blah brawl that ends with Rocco hitting Funk with a brick, Tony practically orgasming at the annouce table as he actually gets to call a spinebuster (by Johnny Grunge), and the Drive By finishes things in the middle of the ring. No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match Rob Van Dam pinned Jerry Lynn with the Five Star Frog Splash in 0:06:29. Rating: ** 1/4 (Rob Van Dam won the IHLW Championship.) Decent, but very disappointing considering what past Lynn-RVD matches have been. Lynn just went fricking psycho beating RVD practically unconcious with a tire iron and drawing alot of blood. But as Lynn stood over the fallen and bloody RVD, "Crush Em" hit and Lynn looked toward the entrance way. Which meant he didn't see Goldberg run out of the crowd from behind and spear him. Jackhammer follows and Goldberg walks off contently. RVD manages to hit the FSFS to get the IHLW Championship again.
