Strong To Challenge For FIP World Heavyweight Title

Roderick Strong is synonymous with the FIP World Heavyweight Title. He has held the belt on two occasions including a title reign that lasted for over one year. Now new FIP World Heavyweight Champion Go Shiozaki will have to defend the title against him when FIP returns to action on October 11th in Crystal River, FL (check www.FullImpactPro.com for building & ticket info).

Shiozaki won the title at the last FIP event from Erick Stevens. Shiozaki quickly earned the hatred of the FIP fans by joining with Sean Davis' Heartbreak Enterprises. Can Strong make Shiozaki's reign a short one?

"There is no way Roderick Strong will defeat Go Shiozaki," Sean Davis said. "The reason is very simple. Roderick Strong is one of Florida's favorite sons. Go Shiozaki is from Japan. Everyone with half a brain knows that anything from Japan is better than anything from Florida. Go Shiozaki will prove this on October 11th when he defeats Roderick Strong right in FIP's home base of Crystal River."

SHIMMER Title Match Added

FIP is very proud to announce that SHIMMER Champion MsChif will defend the title at the October 11th event. This will guarantee that the best women's wrestling will be in Crystal River. MsChif's challenger is very interesting. She will put the title up against Rain. What makes this match so unique is that both women are in The Age Of The Fall. What will happen when two great women athletes collide in Crystal River with the SHIMMER Title at stake?

Black vs. Stevens Signed For 10/11

Erick Stevens wants the FIP World Heavyweight Title back. Tyler Black of The Age Of The Fall is looking for a shot at the FIP Championship. 10/11 in Crystal River, FL will see Stevens vs. Black for the #1 contendership to the FIP World Heavyweight Championship.

"The belt will give The Age Of The Fall power," Black said. "That is why I need to defeat Stevens and then win the title."

"I am more determined than I have ever been in my life," Stevens said. "I need the FIP World Heavyweight Title back. I can't sleep anymore. I keep thinking of the fact that I have never been able to successfully defend it in Florida. I need to win it and then have a title reign that I can be proud of. Tyler Black better be ready for my best stuff on October 11th."

Go Shiozaki Wins FIP Title

Go Shiozaki defeated FIP World Heavyweight Champion Erick Stevens on August 23rd in Crystal River, FL in a match of the year candidate to win the FIP World Heavyweight Title. The emotional bout saw both athletes struggle back and forth for over 25 minutes before Shiozaki scored the win. Some fans were shocked, many were angered as they started throwing garbage and storming out of the building at the outcome of this historic bout. Shiozaki, who is managed by Sean & Phil Davis of Heartbreak Enterprises in FIP and Larry Sweeney of Sweet & Sour Inc. in ROH, is now negotiating for his first title defense.

Shiozaki, touted as a future star for Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan, has now won his first major singles title. The news quickly spread to Japan where it received considerable coverage. No matter where Shiozaki goes in his career or what titles he wins, the FIP Championship will be his first major victory.

This was a heartbreaking loss for Stevens, who wanted nothing more in the world than to successfully defend the FIP World Heavyweight Title in front of his friends, family and longtime fans in his home state of Florida. This is the second time that Stevens won the FIP World Heavyweight Title, successfully defended it against two tough opponents on ROH events only to lose it in his first defense in Florida. Stevens is trying to regroup so he can go after the FIP World Heavyweight Title again.

"Once again Japan proves it is better than the United States," Sean Davis said. "Especially anything from Florida. There is no one happier than myself and my good friend Larry Sweeney. No one can defeat Go Shiozaki. He is the future of this business and he has the FIP belt to prove it."

 

Florida Is A Destination Spot In Oct. For Wrestling Fans

Tag Title Match Signed For "Impact Of Honor 2"

FIP Tag Team Champions Kenny King & Jason Blade of The YRR have managed to defeat all challengers. However, they have avoided the men they defeated for the titles last November. Now they can't run anymore.

Just signed for 10/12 in Crystal River is the FIP return of Jay & Mark Briscoe as they challenge King & Blade. Many feel that King & Blade stole the FIP Tag Team Titles from The Briscoes. Now Jay and Mark can finally even the score.

"It has been too damn long since we been to Florida," Jay Briscoe said. "We ain't never forget that we lost them belts. Now we are coming to get them back. There is gonna be nothing pretty about this one. We are coming to Crystal River to kick some ass. Man up."

YRR Cancels King vs. Black But New Matches Signed

The YRR got their lawyers involved and managed to get the scheduled Kenny King vs. Tyler Black match canceled. The YRR have stated that they don't have to deal with The Age Of The Fall anymore. Now The YRR of FIP Florida Heritage Champion Sal Rinauro, FIP Tag Team Champions Kenny King & Jason Blade and Chasyn Rance say there is no one in the state of Florida that can stop them. Roderick Strong, a native of Florida, has stepped forward and taken exception to the antics of The YRR. It will be Strong vs. King this Saturday when FIP returns to action in Crystal River, Florida (check www.FullImpactPro.com for building & tix info).

"It is about time that I teach a lesson to The YRR," Strong said. "I have been watching from a distance as they make a mockery out of everything, especially the state of Florida. I'm going to teach them some respect this Saturday."


Tyler Black vs. Necro Butcher Signed For Saturday

This Saturday in Crystal River didn't get any easier for Tyler Black. Jimmy Jacobs, who won't be in Florida, has ordered Black to fight The Necro Butcher this Saturday.

Erick Stevens New Champ Tough Road To 8/23

Erick Stevens defeated Roderick Strong in a brutal Dog Collar Match at the last FIP event on July 19th to win the FIP World Heavyweight Title. Now Stevens has a tough road ahead as he hopes to return to FIP's next event on August 23rd in Crystal River, FL (check www.FullImpactPro.com for tix and building info) as champion.

Stevens says he will be a fighting champion and he has backed up those words. He will defend the belt this Friday at ROH's event in Cleveland against Claudio Castagnoli. If he is successful he will put the belt right back on the line 24 hours later at ROH's show in Chicago against Chris Hero. He will return to FIP on August 23rd to defend the belt against Go Shiozaki if he is still champion. If Stevens loses the belt to either Hero or Castagnoli, he will face Shiozaki in a regular match on August 23rd. Attempts will be made to add Castagnoli or Hero to the card and make Triple Threat Match on 8/23 for the FIP World Heavyweight Title.

"This time I am going to make my friends and family and the fans who have been with me since the start proud," Stevens said. "It has been eating away at me since the last time I was FIP World Heavyweight Champion that I never defended the belt successfully in Crystal River. Well I'm going to defeat Castagnoli and Hero over the weekend in ROH and raise the prestige of the title. Then I will get my revenge on Go Shiozaki in Crystal River and stand tall as FIP World Heavyweight Champion in my home state of Florida."

Shiozaki Joins Heartbreak Enterprises And Attacks Stevens

Go Shiozaki made an immediate impact in FIP. On his first night at the last event, he defeated ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness in a non-title match. He proved to be very popular with the fans. However, he soon stabbed all the fans right in the back.

Shiozaki crashed Erick Stevens' FIP World Heavyweight Title victory celebration and attacked the new champion. It was then revealed that Larry Sweeney, Shiozaki's agent, sold Shiozaki's FIP contract to Sean Davis of Heartbreak Enterprises with Phil Davis. Sean then said that Shiozaki earned a title shot by defeating McGuinness. He then purchased that title shot from Sweeney in the transaction for Go's FIP contract. Sweeney said that he cashed in that title shot on 8/23 as Stevens' first challenger in FIP.

Go then added insult to injury when he covered a bloody and knocked out Stevens with the Japanese flag right in the middle of the ring. Now Stevens is after revenge when FIP returns to action on August 23rd.

"The FIP World Heavyweight Title is going to Japan," Sean Davis said. "Heartbreak Enterprises is the new force in FIP and we need the World Heavyweight Title to prove it. I think Stevens will make it past Castagnoli and Hero this weekend, but then what will be left of him on August 23rd when I have to return to that hick, loser town known as Crystal River? Nothing will be left of him and he'll be easy pickings for Shiozaki."

Black Market vs. DCFC Final Match Set For 8/23

The violent feud pitting Black Market of Joey Machete & Shawn Murphy vs. Dark City Fight Club of Korey Chavis & Jonathan Davis will come to an end on August 23rd in Crystal River. FL. This war has been so insane, brutal and vicious that it needs to be settled. There will be one last match. August 23rd will see Black Market vs. Dark City Fight Club in a Weapons Match!!! It is over on 8/23 in Crystal River. It has to be.

"We've had a lot of big matches in Crystal River," Joey Machete said. "There have been some wars that no one will ever forget. Dark City Fight Club have crossed the line. They have invaded my home. They have embarrassed me and yes, they've even hurt me. Now August 23rd is payback. Shawn and I have never been this prepared for an all out war before. Hell comes to Crystal River on August 23rd. Get ready for war."

Tyler Black vs. Kenny King Signed For 8/23

The feud between The Age Of The Fall and The YRR has been building. Now it will continue on August 23rd when Tyler Black faces Kenny King. These two tore the house down a few months ago in Arcadia, FL. Now this singles bout pitting two of the best athletes in FIP will come to Crystal River. Black vs. King II is a good bet to be the show stealer on 8/23.

FIP Returns To Action This Saturday With Three Title Matches

Full Impact Pro is set for its next event this Saturday, July 19th, in Crystal River, FL (check www.FullImpactPro.com for tix & building info). Three title matches are now official for this Saturday's card. Joey Ryan is set to make his FIP debut and he wants to make an impact. He wants to show how much he wants to compete in Florida on a regular basis. He has challenged FIP Florida Heritage Champion Sal Rinauro to a title match. The YRR's Rinauro has agreed and the bout is set.

Many consider FIP World Heavyweight Champion Roderick Strong vs. Erick Stevens to be one of the top feuds of the year. No one can argue that it is the most brutal feud of 2008. Perhaps the final chapter will take place this Saturday when they compete for the FIP Title in a Dog Collar Match!!!

As if that wasn't enough, the rivalry between The Age Of The Fall of Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black and FIP Tag Team Champions Jason Blade & Kenny King of The YRR is gaining steam. Fans could be in for a classic when these two duos collide in a 2/3 Falls Match for the FIP Tag Team Titles this Saturday.

"This might surprise you," Rinauro said, "but there is nothing that The YRR loves more than coming to Crystal River. Because it just reminds us of how great we are and what losers you are. It is going to be one hell of a party when we roll out of Crystal River with all our titles and head to a real city like Miami in our new cars and party until dawn."

Mercedes Martinez Set For FIP Debut

Mercedes Martinez is regarded as one of the best woman wrestlers in the world for her aggressive, hard-hitting, physical style. FIP has always strived to bring in only the best talent and no women's division is set without Martinez. She has an open challenge for this Saturday in Crystal River. Who will answer?

"I've heard a lot about FIP," Martinez said. "They've had some great women wrestlers there like Daizee Haze, Kong, Allison Danger and Sara Del Rey to name a few. I'm looking forward to seeing what FIP competition is all about. I'll wrestle anyone they have."

Dark City Fight Club Call Black Market Cowards

Black Market of Joey Machete & Shawn Murphy used to dominate the landscape of FIP. Ever since the ominous Dark City Fight Club of Korey Chavis & Jon Davis have surfaced, times have been tough for Machete and Murphy. In fact, last time in Crystal River, Machete walked away for the first time ever.

"Joey Machete was like an old yellow dog with his tail in between his legs," Chavis said. "We've beaten those boys enough and they know it. They won't be there on Saturday. They are scared. They are cowards. Black Market has fallen. Dark City Fight Club rule FIP now."

Davey Richards Calls Out Scotty 2 Hotty

Former WWE superstar Scotty 2 Hotty comes to FIP on May 30th in Crystal River, FL and May 31st in Arcadia, FL (check www.FullImpactPro.com for tix & info). Upon hearing the news, Davey Richards immediately issued a challenge to Scotty 2 Hotty. The challenge has been accepted and it will be Richards vs. 2 Hotty on 5/31 in Arcadia, FL. Scotty 2 Hotty has promised to hit Davey Richards with "The Worm" in Arcadia.

"There won't be any worm in Arcadia," Richards said. "I can't stand the worm. That isn't pro wrestling. I'm going to show Scotty 2 Hotty what pro wrestling is all about when I kick some of his teeth in and stretch his tendons until they snap. That is what pro wrestling is all about. I can't stand his style of wrestling and I will kick, strike and stretch Scotty 2 Hotty until he cries for mercy."


Tag Title Match Official For Crystal River

Tyler Black has constantly found himself outnumbered by The YRR. Last month, he promised to bring The Age Of The Fall leader Jimmy Jacobs to Florida. It will happen on May 30th and 31st. Crystal River, FL on 5/30 will see former ROH World Tag Team Champions Jacobs & Black with Rain challenge FIP Tag Team Champions Kenny King & Jason Blade. Can The YRR get past The Age Of The Fall?

"The revolution will spread to Florida," Jacobs said. "I look forward to meeting and organizing our supporters in Crystal River. We will rise to power that night when Tyler and I capture the FIP Tag Team Titles. Join us and be part of the movement."


Anything Goes In Crystal River

The feud pitting Black Market of Joey Machete & Shawn Murphy vs. Dark City Fight Club of Korey Chavis & Jon Davis has reached unimaginable levels of violence. Last month saw the first meeting between the two teams never get officially started as these four men just fought all over Crystal River. The scene almost turned tragic when Chavis & Davis poured gasoline on Black Market to try to set them on fire. Black Market won't be intimidated. They want revenge.

Black Market will get a chance at revenge on May 30th. Crystal River will witness Black Market vs. Dark City Fight Club in an ANYTHING GOES MATCH!!! Can Black Market get some revenge or will DCFC increase the violence? We will have comments from both teams in an upcoming edition of the FullImpactPro.com Headlines.

Another Big Match Signed For This Saturday

Full Impact Pro will return to action this Saturday in Crystal River, FL for "Dangerous Intentions 2008" (check www.FullImpactPro.comfor ticket and building info). A new match has just been signed and it is sure to bring pro wrestling at its best to Florida. This Saturday will have Tyler Black vs. Davey Richards. Both these athletes need a win here to get into title contention. This will be a very even, competitive match up.

 

Mark Briscoe Injured, Jay Briscoe Still Going After FIP Tag Titles

Mark Briscoe suffered a serious injury to the ligaments in his wrist at last Saturday's Ring Of Honor event in Chicago Ridge, IL at the hands of Jimmy Jacobs. As a result, Mark will get surgery this Friday and miss 3-6 months of action. Obviously, Mark will not be able to appear at this Saturday's FIP event.

Mark was scheduled to team with brother Jay to try to regain the FIP Tag Team Titles from Jason Blade & Kenny King of The YRR. Jay will now get to choose a new partner and they will challenge Blade & King this Saturday in Crystal River, FL. Jay's choice will be revealed at the live event on Saturday.

"I feel like I was just cut in half," Jay Briscoe said. "I'm in a fightin' mood and I'll find me a partner and take out my frustrations on The YRR. I'm gonna win the belts back for my brother while he's in the hospital. The YRR are going to be in for a beating in Crystal River."

 

Strong vs. Stevens Set To Explode In Crystal River

FIP World Heavyweight Champion Roderick Strong will put the belt on the line in a Last Man Standing Match this Saturday against Erick Stevens. This has quickly become one of wrestling's hottest feuds. Every time these two collide it is a hard-hitting, brutal war. This Saturday will be no exception.

This match was signed after the happenings at ROH's "Supercard Of Honor III" on March 30th in Orlando, FL. Strong and Stevens were supposed to wrestle for the FIP World Heavyweight Title on that night. Instead, they beat the hell out of each other in an all out fight until neither man could stand. Things got worse for Stevens then as Strong shaved his trademark mohawk. Now this Saturday there will be no rules and the last man standing will be FIP World Heavyweight Champion.

"I'm looking forward to it," Strong said. "I have a good time beating up Erick. I'm going to chop him until his chest bleeds, I'm going to forearm until his nose breaks and then I'm going to kick his head off. I have something I want to say to the fans of Crystal River too."

"This Saturday is going to be my night," Stevens said. "You've done all you can do to me Roderick and I'm still standing. You stole my belt, you stole my identity, you've hit me as hard as you can, but I'm still here. Crystal River is going to see me get my revenge and I will knock Roderick Strong down for the 10 count."

Grudge Tag & Three Title Matches Signed For April 26th Event

Full Impact Pro returns to action on April 26th for "Dangerous Intentions 2008" at its homebase of Crystal River, FL with a huge event (check www.FullImpactPro.com for ticket & building info). Already signed is a grudge tag team match as Black Market of Joey Machete & Shawn Murphy return to FIP to seek revenge against The Dark City Fight Club of Korey Chavis and Jon Davis.

Chavis and Davis made quite an impact on FIP and Black Market. They attacked Machete outside his home and put him in the hospital, forcing him to miss the "Redefined" FIP event. Then at "Redefined" they brutally attacked Shawn Murphy, knocking him out of action. Now Black Market will finally get a chance at revenge in the first meeting between these two teams. This grudge tag team match will only be one of the featured attractions as three big title matches have been signed for April 26th.

"If you thought you have seen Black Market violent before," Machete said, "you haven't seen anything yet. Dark City Fight Club brought violence to the next level by attacking me outside my home, right in front of my family. Now we are going to take things to the next level on April 26th in Crystal River. You've never seen Black Market like this before."

 

Stipulation Announced For FIP World Heavyweight Title Match

The feud between FIP World Heavyweight Champion Roderick Strong and Erick Stevens is red hot. It got even hotter at the March 29th ROH event in Orlando when Strong and Stevens fought in a bloodbath. Strong then took Stevens' identity by shaving his mohawk, which Stevens has had his entire career (see highlights of this for free in the current ROH Video Wire at ROHvideos.com). Now these two will collide on April 26th in Crystal River, Florida.

The issue between these two cannot be settled in a normal match. After they battered each other in Orlando until neither man could stand, they will fight in a Last Man Standing Match for the FIP World Heavyweight Title on April 26th.

"This is going to be a war and I wouldn't want it any other way," Stevens said. "Roddy has taken my belt in what should have been the most glorious night of my career. Now he has taken my identity. I'm going to take what he loves more than anything and that's the FIP World Heavyweight Title. Get ready for a battle, Crystal River."

 

Briscoes Set For Rematch For FIP Tag Team Titles

The YRR of Kenny King & Jason Blade shocked everyone by winning the FIP Tag Team Titles from Jay & Mark Briscoe last November. They have done their best to duck The Briscoes, but they can't avoid them anymore. King & Blade will defend the belts vs. Jay & Mark Briscoe on April 26th in Crystal River, FL. The Briscoes are determined to win the titles back.

"We are going to pull out everything we got on April 26th," Jay Briscoe said. "Ya'll better man up when The Briscoes come to Crystal River. Those are our belts and they are coming back to me and my brother."

 

Delirious Gets Florida Heritage Title Shot

Delirious has become a thorn in the side of Sal Rinauro and The YRR. He has even pinned Florida Heritage Champion Rinauro on two occasions, including ROH's "Proving Ground" event last January. Now Delirious will get his shot at the belt. It will be Rinauro vs. Delirious for the Florida Heritage Title on April 26th in Crystal River, FL.

"I have even less respect for Delirious than I do for the so called hall of famers from Florida like Eddie Graham and Gordon Solie," Rinauro said. "The only good thing about this match is afterwards I'll have my choice of Delirious' mask or the Florida Heritage belt for toilet paper."

Headlines for 3.19.08

Strong vs. Aries Signed For This Saturday

"Unfinished Business" is the best way to describe the issue between Roderick Strong and Austin Aries. Now FIP will see the next chapter. FIP World Heavyweight Champion Roderick Strong will put the belt on the line against arch-rival Austin Aries this Saturday when FIP returns to Crystal River, FL. These two have battled in one of ROH's most intense feuds. Aries defeated Davey Richards at the last FIP event to become the #1 contender. Now this epic war is coming to Florida and the FIP World Heavyweight Title is on the line (check www.FullImpactPro.com for building and ticket info).

"It is going to be a great week for me in Florida," Aries said. "First, I win the FIP World Heavyweight Title this Saturday in Crystal River. Then one week later on March 29th I win the ROH World Title in Orlando. Remember something Roderick Strong, I beat you the last two times we met. That belt is mine."

"It will be so sweet when I defeat Austin this Saturday," Strong said. "Last time in Crystal River I proved that this belt means more to be than anything. It means more than the fans applause. It means more than any past history I have with Erick Stevens. There is nothing more important than this and now I will finally get a chance to shut Austin up for good."

Unique ROH World Title Match Signed For Crystal River

ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness promised he would defend the belt in FIP. He will keep his promise this Saturday in Crystal River, FL. The Ring Of Honor World Title will be on the line and a unique challenger has stepped up.

This challenger has secured an open contract from the FIP office. He boasts an undefeated record in ROH. In fact, he defeated a man that pinned McGuinness last weekend. These credentials plus some negotiating have made Larry Sweeney the man to challenge McGuinness this Saturday.

"(loud laughing) I said I would change the face of ROH," Sweeney said. "Now my hostile takeover will be complete when I, Larry Sweeney, win the ROH World Title in Crystal River. Then I'll take the belt into Orlando and defend it against Austin Aries. You losers of Crystal River are looking at the new ROH World Champion and there ain't no doubt about it."

Tyler Black, Briscoes In Hot Pursuit Of The YRR

Jay & Mark Briscoe will make their return to FIP this Saturday and they want the FIP Tag Team Titles back. Kenny King & Jason Blade won the belts from The Briscoes in controversial fashion last November and The Briscoes have yet to get a rematch. The Briscoes even jumped The YRR in Boston at a ROH event last January. Now The YRR have stated that The Briscoes must earn a title rematch.

This Saturday in Crystal River, FL will see FIP Florida Heritage Champion Sal Rinauro team with one half of the tag champs Kenny King to take on The Briscoes. This will be non-title since the other half of the FIP tag champs Jason Bade isn't in the match. If The Briscoes defeat The YRR this Saturday they will get a shot in the future. If they don't, they will never get a rematch for the FIP Tag Team Titles against The YRR.

The other half of the tag champs Jason Blade has challenged Tyler Black of The Age Of The Fall to a bout. Black was quick to accept. Blade and the rest of The YRR hate Black for luring Lacey & Rain away from The YRR. Black is looking to even score against The YRR for a controversial loss to Rinauro last month. Lacey & Rain will be in Black's corner and it will be interesting to see what role they play. The YRR will be faced with their enemies this Saturday in Crystal River.

Mysterious Masked Men In Action This Saturday

Black Market is still out of action after last month. Two mysterious masked men attacked Joey Machete outside his house putting him in the hospital. They then jumped Shawn Murphy at the show and brutally attacked him. We were sent a message that the mysterious masked men will be back in Crystal River, FL this Saturday. Will they reveal themselves? What will they do next? Can anyone stop them? Be there this Saturday and find out.

Big Changes For FIP

Full Impact Pro's "Redefined" event on February 16th in Crystal River, Florida lived up to its name. The show saw a new chapter in FIP start. Future editions of the FullImpactPro.com Headlines will look at all the changes in more details. For now, here is the skinny on how FIP became "Redefined" on February 16th:

-Roderick Strong shocked everyone when he maliciously attacked Erick Stevens with a chair during their FIP World Heavyweight Title Match. The attack, done when the ref was knocked down (and it is questionable if Strong pulled the ref into harm's way), gave Strong the win by countout and made him the new FIP World Heavyweight champion. This is the first time Strong crossed the line and turned on the fans in FIP.

-New lighting system giving the show a much better look.

-New mobile studio set.

-Live commentary to give the DVDs more energy.

-Dave Prazak lost his managerial license when his charge, Davey Richards, lost to Austin Aries in an explosive opening bout. FIP was "Redefined" right away here as DP Associates is no more. Prazak will now strictly do commentary for the FIP DVDs. This ends an over three year run by DP Associates in FIP.

-Lacey & Rain leave The YRR to join Tyler Black with The Age Of The Fall. This symbolizes that ROH and FIP will now have complete consistency with their characters and storylines.

-The Heartbreak Express of Sean & Phil Davis can never wrestle in FIP again. They lost a red hot handicap match to Shawn Murphy of Black Market. Murphy's partner Joey Machete didn't make the event as he was attacked by two masked men when he left his home. Murphy was viciously attacked by two masked men after this match. The Heartbreak Express were a staple of FIP and two time FIP Tag Team Champions.

-Who are the masked men and what does their future hold in FIP?

A new World Champion, no more DP Associates and Heartbreak Express, mysterious new talent and production improvements all led to FIP becoming "Redefined" on February 16th. Rumors are circulating that this was only the first step of FIP becoming new again. What will happen next in FIP? Looks like we'll have to wait until March 22nd to find out.

The Briscoes are already demanding a shot at The YRR. We'll have news on this in the next FullImpactPro.com Headlines. Here is the skinny on March 22nd:

FIP To Be "Redefined" This Saturday

FIP is set to return to action this Saturday in Crystal River, FL (check www.FullImpactPro.com for building info). FIP will be blown up as a new chapter in FIP history is set to start. How will FIP be "Redefined" this Saturday? What could possibly go down? Get your tickets now at FullImpactPro.com or at the door and find out this Saturday. Since FIP will be "Redefined" this Saturday we will take a different approach with this edition of the FullImpactPro.com Headlines. Here is a preview of this Saturday's event including some new match announcements and possibilities:

FIP World Heavyweight Title Match
Erick Stevens defends vs. Roderick Strong

This will be the most special night of FIP World Heavyweight Champion Erick Stevens' career. He will return to FIP and his homestate of Florida as the FIP Champion. Both he and Strong have been born and bred in Florida. Strong held the title for 13 months before Stevens defeated him in Manhattan at ROH's "Final Battle 2007" to win the belt on December 30th. Stevens survived the toughest schedule of his life in January and truly rose to the champion role. Sports experts compare Stevens' maturity to stardom to that of Eli Manning of the Superbowl Champion NY Giants. Can Stevens get past a very hungry Strong? Who will move forward as the face of FIP?

FIP Florida Heritage Title Match
Sal Rinauro defends vs. Tyler Black

Sal Rinauro led The YRR's rise to dominance by winning the Florida Heritage Championship in shocking fashion from Erick Stevens at the last FIP event. Rinauro has no respect for the heritage of Florida wrestling and uses the belt to make a mockery out of it. Tyler Black is the fastest rising star in the independent scene today. He knows what it means to represent the past. Black wants to make sure he is a regular in FIP and he ascertains that the way to attain that goal is to become a champion. Rinauro wants to continue to use the belt as a piece of jewelry. Who will represent Florida's past as FIP heads into the future?

FIP Tag Team Champions Jason Blade & Kenny King have an open contract to defend the titles!!!

Any team anywhere in the wrestling industry can step forward and challenge Blade & King for the FIP Tag Team Championship. Blade & King are coming off an impressive 2-0 showing in ROH in January. They have momentum. Is there any team out there that can stop them?

No Rules Losing Team Can Never Wrestle In FIP Again
Black Market vs. The Heartbreak Express

It is the longest running feud in FIP history. No two teams or four men have fought as many times as Black Market and The Heartbreak Express. Now when FIP becomes "Redefined" one of these teams will be gone from FIP forever. This will truly change the face of the FIP tag team scene. FIP will never be the same after this contest.

Non-Title Special Challenge Match
ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness vs. The Necro Butcher

Both McGuinness and Necro Butcher look to be regulars in FIP. This match will determine the pecking order on future FIP events. How will Nigel's lariat fare against the wild Necro Butcher of DP Associates?

Stevens vs. Strong Officially Signed

FIP World Heavyweight Champion Erick Stevens survived the toughest stretch of matches in his career with the FIP World Heavyweight Title. He defeated an all star list of competition in Ring Of Honor throughout January to retain the belt. Now Stevens has signed for his toughest title match yet when he faces a very determined former champion in Roderick Strong on February 16th in Crystal River, FL (check www.FullImpactPro.com for ticket and building info).

"February 16th will be the greatest night of my career," Stevens said. "It is the night I finally get to return to Florida and FIP as World Heavyweight Champion. I am facing my greatest career rival in Roderick Strong. He spent over a year holding this title so I know what it means to him. It means that much more to me and I will prove I'm the best talent from the great state of Florida on February 16th. I'm ready for the match of my life and Roddy better be ready for the toughest match of his career. There is a lot of pride on the line in this one in addition to this belt."

Erick Stevens Wins FIP World Heavyweight Title

Erick Stevens is your new FIP World Heavyweight Champion. Stevens ended Roderick Strong's 13 month reign on 12/30 at ROH's "Final Battle 2007" event in Manhattan, NY. The hard-to-please Manhattan fans exploded when Stevens won the title. Many said it was the night that Stevens became a star in ROH.

Stevens hopes to bring the belt back to his home state of Florida on February 16th when FIP returns to action with "Redefined" in Crystal River. However, Stevens first must defend the strap against Austin Aries on 1/11 in Boston and if successful then Bryan Danielson on 1/12 in Edison at ROH events.

"I promise you right now that I will be FIP World Heavyweight Champion when I return to FIP and Florida on February 16th," Stevens said. "I know you are talking about two of the best that the entire world of wrestling has to offer with Aries and Danielson, but this belt has given me confidence, this is a turning point for me, I'm ready for any challenge. Most importantly, I need to defend this belt in front of all the Florida fans that have supported me since day one. That is going to be really special."



Roderick Strong To Get Rematch On February 16th

Roderick Strong set records as FIP World Heavyweight Champion having held the belt for 13 months while defending it against a wide range of challengers. Now Strong will get his rematch for the FIP World Heavyweight against whoever the champion is on February 16th in Crystal River, FL. Stevens and Austin Aries are already booked for Feb. 16th. Bryan Danielson will be booked if he wins the title on Jan. 12th at ROH.

Strong was a great FIP World Heavyweight Champion. He never backed down from any challengers. His resume includes victories over The Necro Butcher in a No DQ Match, Davey Richards in a series of matches that also saw the two grow a respect for each other that led to the formation of the No Remorse Corps, Dragon Gate's Yamato and an all star assortment of talent including Shingo, Christopher Daniels, Eddie Kingston, Tyler Black, Delirious, Austin Aries, Claudio Castagnoli and others. Strong also made the belt into a World Title by defending it in England against PAC on ROH shows.

"This is far from over," Strong said. "That is my belt. I made it. I am the best champion in wrestling. No one can dispute what I did with that title. I won't rest until I get it back. Crystal River has always been my town and I'll win it back on February 16th."



Black Market vs. Heartbreak Express Set For Final Time & Stakes Are Raised

The epic feud between Black Market and The Heartbreak Express has seen gallons of blood spilled, vicious weapons used with malicious intent and flesh torn. Now these two teams will battle for what will definitely be the final time on February 16th. You will see FIP's most intense feud come to an end as FIP become "Redefined" in Crystal River.

The stipulation has been decided and it insures that this will be the final match. There will be no rules. The losing duo can never wrestle in FIP again. This isn't just for 90 days. This is forever. Anyone who has followed FIP knows that the stipulations are always honored.

"February 16th is what it all comes down to," Shawn Murphy of Black Market said. "All the sweat, all the pain, all the violence. Now we dance one last time. This is it. We will banish The Heartbreak Express so the fans will never have to see them again."



Loaded Talent Roster Set For "Redefined"

YRR Win Tag And Florida Heritage Titles

Friday, November 9th was a shocking night in FIP history. The landscape changed as two of FIP's three championships switched hands. It was a night of triumph for the cocky YRR group of Chasyn Rance, Claudio Castagnoli, Kenny King, Jason Blade and Sal Rinauro with So Cal Val and Rain.

Sal Rinauro surprised everyone in Crystal River on 11/9 when he pinned Erick Stevens to capture the Florida Heritage Title. Stevens had won the belt last March in a tournament at the Eddie Graham Memorial Battle Of The Belts. Rinauro is only the second ever Florida Heritage Champion.

Jason Blade & Kenny King added to the night of surprises by defeating FIP Tag Team Champions Jay & Mark Briscoe to capture the tag straps. This victory and Rinauro's win were tainted by controversy. The Briscoes and Erick Stevens have sworn revenge.

"We are not just what all of you reading this want to be," Rance said. "We are also what every wrestler wants to be. We are young, rich, ready for action and CHAMPIONS!"

 

Briscoes Rematch Already Set

The Briscoes will get their rematch against The YRR on December 15th in Crystal River, FL (check www.FullImpactPro.com for tix & info). The Briscoes are confident that there is no way that The YRR will defeat them two months in a row.

Jay & Mark Briscoe had held the belts for just over a year after winning them from The Heartbreak Express on 10/14/06. The Briscoes gave the FIP fans one memorable match after another including a hardcore feud against The Necro Butcher & Mad Man Pondo and a state-of-the-art rivalry against Tyler Black with partners Marek Brave and Trik Davis. Now The Briscoes want their belts back.

"We aren't gonna complain about how we lost the titles," Mark Briscoe said. "What is done is done. Now what we can do is get back on the horse and win those titles back. We are coming to Crystal River to right a wrong and take back our titles."

Signed for tomorrow night is Roderick Strong vs. Claudio Castagnoli for the FIP Heavyweight Title and it will be 2/3 Falls!!!

Claudio, I beat you in San Francisco and Friday night I'll beat you in Crystal River."
