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.
