After a chance encounter backstage at an IFC show between Freakenstein and his longtime friend and colleague Tommy Hawk, the seeds were sown for what would become the first step of an all new wrestling saga. After a few calls were made, the future of wrestling took an important new leap as some of the most bizarre and off-beat warriors of the squared circle came together for one more moment of glory (or so they thought).... It was time for a Freaky Reunion!!
The show opened with FREAKENSTEIN and TOMMY HAWK addressing the fans in the sold out New Tokyo Dome for the momentous show. It was a momentous occasion to be sure and both Stein and Tommy took turns thanking the crowd. They didn't talk long as there were ten big matches on the show and wanted to get the action rolling quickly.
1. LEOPARD MASK vs SUPER SANTO
The show opened with an excellent juniors match between a couple all time greats. After a fast paced back and forth battle, it was Leopard Mask who picked up the victory.
2. WHITECHAPEL vs TZANGOR FURY
Not much is known of the creepy and bizarre Victorian. One of the big things that stuck out was just how much Tzangor has improved. The former Freak U. standout has turned into a solid performer with a solid future ahead of him. Unfortunately in this case he was not able to get past the underhanded tactics from the strange and sinister Chapel, who was victorious with the help of his nefarious cane.
3. FRANTIC vs STRANGELAND
The action really heated up as two of the greatest teams in ICOF history faced out in an incredible back and forth affair. After over twenty minutes of action, SYKK and TWYSTED picked up the victory over AC WILD and DC RAGE. In the end, Strangeland proved why they have won more tag team gold than any other team in ICOF history.
4. SUPER FREAKY 30 MAN BATTLE ROYAL
Stygia surprised everyone with a victory in a crazy battle royal that featured a who's who of ICOF legends. Others in the battle royal included Babylon, Angelheart, Rapture, Brother Hood, Breaker, Commander Flagg, Puck, Mattherhorn, Super Demon, Vega Prime, Sunder, Templar, Love Machine, Leatherwolf, Battlezone, Valhalla, Maxx Rocker, Prime Time, Redstar and Ripper Monsoon.
-- Suddenly, Danzig's Mother hit the speakers and the crowd became unglued. Sure enough the entrance area fills up with smoke and with a lit cigar in his mouth and dark shades on, MOTHER stands there for all to see. The crowd goes nuts as he saunters to the ring.
"You boys miss me?" he quips. "You guys can't have a fancy reunion without me on the card. I take it personally that I didn't receive a call to appear on this here, rasslin' show. I am here and I want a match. Send some punk ass bitch out for me to beat the snot out of. I'm in a mood!"
Quiet Riot's Metal Health hits the speakers and the hulking behemoth PAYNE walks on stage. The masked maniac stears at Ted E and slowly nods his head. He power marches down to the ring as Mother hastily tosses his sunglasses to the ring and the two beasts immediately begin trading clubbing blows as Tommy Hawk comes out of the curtain dragging a referee with him. He shoves the referee to the ring and orders the bell to ring...
5. PAYNE vs MOTHER (ICOF Rules Match)
Mother gets an early advantage by jabbing his lit cigar on Payne's shoulder. Mother then tries to rip the mask off of Payne so he can do the same to the big guy's face, but Payne is able to reverse things with a hard whip into the guardrail. The battle eventually goes into the crowd with a couple members of the crowd becoming involved in the fight when they don't get out of the way soon enough. Amongst the weapons used in this wild battle are Payne's bullrope, steel chairs, a fire extinguisher and yes...a vacuum cleaner. Eventually the battle gets back to the ring and in the end MOTHER pulled out a victory after nailing his third straight MOTHER'S LITTLE HELPER in an epic hardcore battle.
6. KRAZE vs GORDO BUMPKIN
As heavy and intense as the mood was after the previous chaos, this would become one of the strangest battles in an ICOF ring as the babbling psychotic Kraze faced off with the up and coming funny Scot, Gordo Bumpkin. After both men started off with a bit of a dance contest and a weirdly intense and unintelligble philosophic debate, they decided they were both good buddies and went in to give each other a hug - which of course was a ruse as they both gave each other low blows. After a few moments of both grapplers rolling around in pain, the action resumed. Both wrestlers continued to out heel the other as they pulled out every dirty tactic in the Heel's Handbook. In the end, it was Kraze's experience that won the day as he won with an inside cradle and the obligatory handful of tights.
7. KRISTY BLISS vs GYPSY ROSE
A couple of the women were the next ones out in what would be another classic match. The match between the teacher and student went back and forth for the bulk of the match. In the end it was the student who came out on top as Kristy won with her trademark TOTAL BLISS. Afterwards the two had a hug and soaked in the crowd support. Bliss showed she is at her prime and should be a force in the women's circuit wherever she may wrestle.
8. COMMANDER FLAGG vs STALINGRAD (Flag Match)
In a shocking moment, Commander Flagg defeated Stalingrad in less than 30 seconds in a Flag Match. Stalingrad was embarrassed and immediately attacked Flagg after the match. Eventually DOC SIMYIN ran in and chased the Communist ursine away.
9. MAJOR BRAHMA and SILVER MANE vs BREAKER and MAUL
There is no surprise here as the Andromedan and Aethran teams fought each other to a wild brawl that was totally out of control. Within the first few minutes the referee was unconscious, Brahma and Breaker were fighting somewhere in the street and Maul became unglued and buried Silver Mane under a huge pile of chairs. Order could not be restored and the match was ruled a wild no contest. After the match, ALPHA MALE ran out and continued the beatdown on Silver Mane until FREAKENSTEIN's music hit!
10. FREAKENSTEIN vs ALPHA MALE
This match was scheduled to be the main event, but instead it went one match early since both competitors were already brawling outside the ring. Eventually the referee restored ordered and got the match back in the ring since it was not supposed to be under ICOF Rules. It turned into a very hard hitting strong style match as expected and in the end, Freakenstein came out victorious, though both wrestlers would be showing signs of the battle for some time to come.
MAIN EVENT
11. TOMMY HAWK vs PUMPKIN JACK (ICOF Rules Match)
The final match of the evening proved to be the bloodiest as Tommy and Jack engaged in a vicious, bloody affair with barbed wire and thumbtack backs a plenty. The fight mostly stayed around ringside unlike so much of the action earlier on the show. Tommy Hawk battled back after getting really cut up with a pizza cutter thanks to a bit of help from the ringside fans who made sure he was well-armed to fight back against the maniacal and supernaturally evil adversary. The ending came after a kendo stick battle ended in Tommy's favor. Tommy nailed the TOMMY HAWK and scored the victory.
After the match, Freakenstein came back to the ring and embraced his long time friend and they stood tall in the middle of the ring after putting on a very successful Reunion. Just as the show was about to come to a close, the camera turns to zoom on Mother who was standing on the entrance ramp once more and staring into the screen. Tommy and Freak turn and face Mother and the show goes black...
