Welcome to the third edition of ICWF "Off The Ropes" Report with Peter Hartin. "The ICWF CRASHES St. Petersburg, Florida". You read it right fans, the ICWF was the place to be on Saturday May 10^{th as 200 ICWF fans piled into the parking lot of Sneaky Pete’s to watch the gorgeous women brawl it out. I want to thank everyone that came out to the ICWF Diva Mania show. You have to realize that this was the ICWF’s first show in Florida and yet the first show drew 200 people in attendance, which is beyond impressive. I also want to thank Sneaky Pete’s and the other ICWF sponsors for their support.}

I had the chance to ask a father and his two sons why they came out to the show. The father told me that they were planning on going to Wing House but once they saw the signs they immediately changed plans. For those of you who don’t know what Wing House is, it's like Hooter’s. While the fans enjoyed the action they were surrounded by plenty of stands to buy ice-cold beverages, and hot food. The long anticipated announcement concerning Brian Pillman was answered where it was revealed that ICWF Owner Allen Draconis has hired the daughter of Brian Pillman, Lexi Pillman, as the new ICWF Co-General Manager for the Florida Territory. She wasn’t present at the show but she will be present at the next show so for all the fans that attended Diva Mania, be sure to attend the next show. The details for the next show will be announced soon so stay tuned to the ICWF Website for all your information involving the ICWF.

The first match of the night featured Fantasie facing off against Stephanie Starr in which Fantasie pulled off the win in this back and forth battle. The second match of the night featured Kacee Carlisle and Ferrari facing off in a match in which each of the divas had a hard fought battle involving plenty of near falls, however it was Kacee Carlisle who left the ring victorious. Lexi Fyfe defeated Jelena in the third match. Lorelei Lee defeated Malia Hosaka after interference from TNA’s Rhaka Khan and Payton Banks. Both divas were down when Rhaka Khan and Payton Banks walked to the ring. Payton Banks jumped up on the apron and distracted the referee as Rhaka Khan slid in the ring and delivered a devastating move to Malia Hosaka. Rhaka Khan quickly left the ring as Lorelei Lee crawled to Malia and pinned her for the win. Rhaka Khan and Payton Banks quickly re-entered the ring and began stomping on Malia until Lexi Fyfe ran to the ring and chased the TNA Knockouts out of the ring. Lexi Fyfe and Malia then challenged the two knockouts to a tag team match later in the night in the main event in which Banks and Khan accepted.

The fifth match featured a Fatal 4-Way Elimination Style match between Betsy Ruth, Mimi, Leva, and Fetish. Before the match got underway Torcher, the referee for the match told Ring Announcer Shannon Rose to inform the two men that accompanied Fetish to the ring that they were to leave ringside immediately as Torcher didn’t want any interfering in the match at all. The two men were enraged at this but eventually left ringside. The match got underway as all four women went to extreme measures to eliminate the others. Fetish was eliminated first, followed by Mimi, which left Leva and Betsy Ruth one on one. Leva eventually pulled off the victory. During intermission some of the divas came out for autographs and photos. Valek entered the ring before intermission concluded. He and Shannon Rose drew the two tickets that put smiles on two children as each child received a TNA Shirt autographed by TNA Knockout’s Rhaka Khan and Payton Banks. Before Valek could exit the ring the two men that were ordered to leave the ring during the fourth match came out with Fetish and informed Valek that they were sent by Ray Rouse to send Valek a message. The men got on separate sides of the ring and Fetish entered the ring as well. Valek went after both men delivering left and rights to both men until Fetish delivered a low-blow to Valek leaving him defenseless as one of the men delivered a spine buster to Valek. Referees rushed to the ring to break up the attack and attend to Valek. Referees Torcher and Brian Braswell helped Valek to the back. The question on everyone’s mind at the event was what message they were sending to Valek. We are trying to get to the bottom of this to let you all know. Finally the main event featured Lexi Fyfe and Malia Hosaka taking on Rhaka Khan and Payton Banks. Lexi Fyfe and Malia Hosaka won the match via disqualification because both Rhaka Khan and Payton Banks refused to adhere to referee Brian Braswell’s 5-count.

Slammin Ladies was in attendance to record the show and they are currently in the process of making the ICWF’s first DVD "Diva Mania". Pre-orders are being received left and right. E-mail the ICWF at icwfwrestling@hotmail.com to order yours today!
