00:00Well, Ian Rod made this match earlier tonight, I'm not happy about it.
00:24CM Punk's taken out of the match with the Insane Clown Posse.
00:28And instead of wrestling two clowns tonight, two non-wrestlers, he's going to take on two
00:36veterans of the ring in both Sabu and Tracy Smothers in a three-way dance.
00:44Dave Brazac up here on commentary, joining me on color in the broadcast submission at
00:50this time, Lightning Mike Quackenbush.
00:53Dave, I don't envy CM Punk at all in this match.
00:57But experience-wise, he is, I hate to say it, outblast by Sabu and Tracy Smothers, both
01:03of whom have more than a decade in the business.
01:06CM Punk, Dave, correct me if I'm wrong, is only in his second year.
01:09Second year, but he's still one of the best damn wrestlers in this promotion, if not the
01:14country today.
01:15Only 23 years old is CM Punk.
01:19And now, the music plays with the Wild Nights Southern boy, Tracy Smothers.
01:23These two have wrestled each other in the past here in the IWA.
01:28CM Punk came up the winner in that matchup via pinfall.
01:32But CM Punk has not yet stepped in the ring with the likes of the homicidal, suicidal, and
01:40genocidal Sabu.
01:42In the same sense that Punk really can't have prepared in any way for Sabu, he may find that
01:48he has an advantage because Sabu has no idea what Punk is capable of either.
01:53Tracy Smothers making his way around the ring.
01:58Yeah, CM Punk, our last night, was thinking about having to wrestle Shaggy, Tootope, and
02:03Violent J.
02:05He didn't think he was going to have to take on two world-class athletes like Sabu and
02:09Tracy Smothers.
02:10But hey, he's a professional.
02:12He can get the job done.
02:14Preparation or not, I don't count CM Punk out one minute.
02:20Punk, Smothers, Sabu.
02:22You've got three individuals in this match whose styles really, they don't cross over
02:28in a lot of regards.
02:29Smothers is a fantastic match technician.
02:32But when it comes to strikes and submissions, he's top-notch.
02:35Sabu, obviously, one of the craziest high-pliers in the history of the game.
02:42And then you've got Punk, who's kind of the X-factor in all of this.
02:45He can change styles.
02:47He can adapt to any variety of styles.
02:50And though he might be the most inexperienced wrestler in the match-up, because of the fact
02:56that he can adapt to almost any style, he just might have a slight advantage in a certain
03:01department over these two opponents.
03:04Sabu coming through the crowd with the insane clown posse in tow.
03:09And I think that's got both Punk and Smothers a little disoriented.
03:12What are the clowns doing at ringside?
03:15Get them off of the ring.
03:16I guess Shaggy 2-Dope has still got a stake in this CM Punk powerbomb.
03:20I think he's still got a few thumbtacks in his back from last night.
03:24Maybe so.
03:25And that's more than likely the exact reason he's here.
03:28He's here to deliver a receipt to CM Punk for the powerbomb and the thumbtacks.
03:32A few words of encouragement to Sabu from the insane clown posse.
03:44It's a special direction freeway dance.
03:47It is scheduled for one fall and the referee is strong, however.
03:52Introducing first, he hailed from the gold bomb section of Chicago Illinois.
03:58He is CM Punk.
04:03Keep the clouds away.
04:06And his opponent, he hailed from the heart of the South, Nashville TLC.
04:12He is the thug, the sellout, and the hardest working man in the business today.
04:19He is a wild-eyed for the more, Christy Smother.
04:24And their opponent, he is accompanied to the rave by the manager of champions and the man who calls her right down the middle, Bill Abarzo.
04:39As well as FireJay and Shaggy 2-Dope, he is a strange, broad, captain.
04:46He hailed from Bombay, Michigan, and weighs 230 pounds.
04:53He is homicidal, suicidal, genocidal, Sabu.
05:01This is going to get a little bit crazy.
05:05It'll be interesting.
05:05Or a lot crazy.
05:07That may very well be the case as we're getting ready to get underway here.
05:11If you don't know, anyone's like I know, my name is CM Punk, and I am straight-ass, that means I'm drug-free, and alcohol-free, and what that means is I'm better than Tracy Smothers, I'm better than Sabu, I'm better than the Plans, and I'm better than all you motherfucking Demos out of your hair.
05:34I'm better than the Plans.
05:39Oh, if you beat Bambu Alphonse, you will come to the NWA, huh?
05:43You don't belong here.
05:45Chriss has been here before.
05:46Sabu's been here before.
05:47I respect what they've done.
05:49But you, you little weasel, you do not, you don't even belong here!
05:55There's plenty of whatever it takes on crowns.
06:01Crowns.
06:02I love CM Punk.
06:07I promise you one thing.
06:11I promise you.
06:14You guys are running to this business.
06:17Shut the fuck up!
06:19Shut the fuck up!
06:24Shut the fuck up!
06:28Shut the fuck up!
06:31Shut the fuck up!
06:33I believe you don't be quiet.
06:41Tonight is my night.
06:44Where you guys have been, I am going.
06:48Tonight CM Punk, what's all?
06:51And you two motherfuckers are my bitches.
06:54CM Punk pushed the envelope a little too hard with the likes of Smothers and Sabu.
07:04And I think he's going to be paying for it in spades.
07:07Chomp across the chest and a kick.
07:09CM Punk has a way with words, that's for sure.
07:13Drives his points home very clearly on that microphone.
07:17And now Tracy Smothers and Sabu.
07:20Double Russian leg sweep on CM Punk.
07:23Teaming up are Smothers and Sabu.
07:25Dropping elbows across the chest of Punk.
07:29Now, Bill Alfonso.
07:31These guys as a tag team are going to take out Punk apart.
07:35Of course, Sabu has the advantage, if you want to call it that, of those two stupid clowns and Bill Alfonso in the corner.
07:43Tracy Smothers has years of experience in his corner.
07:47And Punk unfortunately all alone in this matchup.
07:51Big clubbing flying forearm from Tracy Smothers in the corner.
07:57Punk just looks...
07:58He's dazed.
07:59Look at him there in the corner.
08:00You can see it for yourself.
08:01And Sabu is just firing in with the shots.
08:04Interception by Sabu there.
08:06Over to Smothers with a pass.
08:09Sabu launches himself up in that chair right across the neck.
08:14Let's see how Punk...
08:16A Sabu trademark, Smothers into the...
08:19Spears him down.
08:21Goes for the cover, but Sabu breaks up the pinball attempt.
08:25Sabu maybe would rather pin-Punk himself after the indignation to Bill Alfonso.
08:30And now, how long will this alliance between Sabu and Tracy Smothers last?
08:35Not very long.
08:36As they come to blows.
08:38Double close-lining Punk, and he's tied up in the rope!
08:41Now both Smothers...
08:46In a bad, bad position.
08:48Both Smothers and Sabu working over Punk, who's now out on the concrete floor.
08:56But Sabu knocks down Tracy Smothers and adds him back into the corner.
09:02Shoots him into the corner.
09:04Smothers hits just first.
09:06Springboard!
09:07Swinging DDT from Sabu right off the second rope.
09:10Smothers is down in the middle.
09:12And Sabu is the presence of mind to cover.
09:14He's got two.
09:16Alfonso with the chair.
09:19Arabian face buster right across the face of the wow.
09:22That's right there.
09:25Sets him up.
09:27Twists.
09:28Keeps his legs together for a hellacious leg drop.
09:31And Smothers trying to roll.
09:32Always has the presence of mind to get towards the rope to avoid a pinning predicament.
09:36And Punk picked a bad time to try and interject himself.
09:39Well, at least he gets a little bit of a breather out on the floor walls.
09:43Smothers and Sabu duke it out inside the ring.
09:45Back heel kick to the back of the head of Sabu.
09:48Takes him down.
09:49Smothers evaded the lariat.
09:50He's turned the momentum in his favor.
09:52Punk again trying to drag himself back into the ring.
09:55Tracy hits the rope.
09:56Baseball slide.
09:57Drop kick knocks Sabu into the second row.
09:58There's Punk.
09:59But it's three more by Punk.
10:00And a drop kick takes down Tracy Smothers.
10:01Going for the cover.
10:02But only two.
10:03On Punk now into the mouth.
10:04Laying in with the right hands.
10:05The referee registering a count.
10:06Obviously he's got to open those fists up by the count of four.
10:08Out to the floor with an axe handle on to Sabu.
10:09Still recovering from Trace.
10:10Smothers baseball slide.
10:11Now you can see Sabu beginning to recover and getting ready to pick his spot.
10:24He's gonna measure Punk.
10:25Inexperience or not.
10:26CM Punk has control of this match up right now.
10:29Sabu going for a second.
10:30One last two.
10:31Tension.
10:32It's the first.
10:33I think it's a third.
10:34Yeah.
10:35He's gonna pass him.
10:36But for now.
10:37This is the first time.
10:38To the first time.
10:39Taboo going for a springboard off the top rope, but Punk catches him and pitches him right back out to the concrete.
10:47Punk in there deep, whips, smothers across. He goes over in the turnbuckle.
10:52Smothers turns himself around.
10:55Punk is drop kicked in the face for his trouble there as Smothers left absolutely clear of him
11:02and turned around and stuck his boots up right in his face.
11:04Smothers underneath the lariat, comes right back and sneaks that forearm shot right under Punk's chin.
11:12Now Smothers out on the ring apron climbing the turnbuckles.
11:15Up to the top.
11:17Reverse crossbody, but the momentum takes the up pump over on top.
11:21Wisting press backfired, but Smothers is right up to his feet as Saboo's making his way back into the ring.
11:28Ha-ha!
11:31Belly to belly from CM Punk. Smothers is trying to get away.
11:34Once again, trying to get towards the ropes to avoid a pinning for Nickerman.
11:38Saboo, the aerial specialist, all the way to the top, takes off with a clothesline.
11:45And now both Punk and Tracy Smothers on their backs, on the canvas, as Saboo is the only one standing in this ring.
11:55He's had enough of Punk, and Punk has the presence of mind to get the heck out of Dodge.
11:59Thus far, the insane clown posse and Bill Alfonso not really interjecting themselves into this matchup.
12:05Saboo is certainly more than capable of taking care of himself.
12:08And DDT.
12:09There you see a swinging DDT.
12:10Drop kick to the back of the head of CM Punk. He's back out on the concrete.
12:21Tracy Smothers.
12:24Drop to the concrete as well.
12:26The Punk back in.
12:27Choosing his spots.
12:32Suicide dive right into the fourth row.
12:35Tracy of CM Punk.
12:38Great looking rocket tope there all the way out.
12:40But Saboo sets up the chair in the ring.
12:43The fans want to see him fly.
12:48Saboo's got the chair in position.
12:49He measures him.
12:50He's going from the chair to the top.
12:53Springboard all the way to the floor.
12:55All the way to the bleachers goes Tracy Smothers.
13:01As an IWA chat breaks out here in Charlestown.
13:05Barrel Fonso.
13:05Oh, it looked like he was about to go for a suicide dive himself.
13:09I guess he thought better of that.
13:10Bodies scattered on the floor.
13:13Saboo now with a chair introducing it to the face of CM Punk.
13:18Unbelievable.
13:25Not only are we seeing one of the greatest single elimination 16-man tournaments in the independent wrestling scene today.
13:34But we're also seeing non-tournament matches such as this.
13:38High-flying, high-impact wrestling.
13:39Wrestling fans only here in the IWA.
13:42Saboo laid out on that table.
13:43Smothers trying to keep the advantage.
13:46Sends Punk deep into the audience.
13:49Saboo laid out on that table trying to recover.
13:52Smothers in there with hard right hands.
13:54He's a master of the strike.
13:56Whether he's using his fist, forearm, especially his kick, Smothers is lethal.
14:00Smothers flips a bird to the entire crowd.
14:06Saboo still laid prone.
14:07Filofonto on the ring apron.
14:09And nutting himself on that top turnbuckle is Tracy Smothers.
14:14Saboo now.
14:19Super Frankensteiner all the way from the top turnbuckle.
14:23Smothers is laid out and he's in a position to be pinned there.
14:27Punk makes his way out of the ring.
14:28Goes for the cover.
14:29But Saboo breaks up the pinball attack.
14:32Saboo not taking too kindly to that.
14:34He's doing the work.
14:35Punk's trying to get the pin.
14:37Alfonso hands a chair to Saboo once again.
14:41Nails Punk with it.
14:42Sets it up.
14:44He's going.
14:46Whoa.
14:46Landing right on his feet but still delivering a blow to the chest of Tracy Smothers.
14:50Saboo goes for it again.
14:53And connects once again.
14:55Pounding Smothers using the chair for extra elevation.
14:57A third time.
15:00Trifecta.
15:00This time Allegler it.
15:02And Smothers chin first on the back of that steel chair.
15:07And Punk wisely goes for the cover.
15:09Punk ever the opportunist is right there to capitalize.
15:13That moment's hesitation by Saboo gave Punk the room to try and get the pin on Smothers.
15:18Alfonso now lifting that table into the ring.
15:21Saboo cropping it up in the corner.
15:25Punk out on the concrete floor as Tracy Smothers lays on the canvas.
15:29Saboo looks to be going for the triple jump movesaw.
15:32But Tracy Smothers caught him and drove his head right into that steel chair.
15:37Punk again.
15:41Punk, that is the third time you've seen him kind of make an opportunist spin.
15:46He wasn't necessarily delivering any offensive maneuvers but had the presence of mind to get in there and cover.
15:50Very smart wrestler is CM Punk.
15:52Punk now weaves through underneath the Irish whip.
15:57Smothers has the same thought.
15:59Belly-to-belly suplex.
16:01Smothers very spry.
16:03Right up to his feet in the three-point stand.
16:05Oh, this could be bad.
16:07Clothesline takes down CM Punk.
16:10Saboo out on the concrete.
16:12Tracy pitches Punk out to the floor.
16:14And now asking for the fans' approval.
16:16Kicks Saboo back to the concrete on one side.
16:19And Tracy Smothers spins around, lands back in the ring.
16:22Smothers fakes him right out.
16:25Punk thought he had outsmarted him.
16:27Fakes it again, but back in the ring.
16:30Two feet right to the face of CM Punk takes him down.
16:33Smothers prepared for CM Punk at every turn.
16:38But Saboo back in the ring.
16:40Alone there to adjust his foreign objects as need be.
16:44Rearrange.
16:45More damage on these guys.
16:46Rearranging the furniture a little bit.
16:48Neckbreaker, backbreaker, combination by CM Punk.
16:52Takes down Smothers, but Saboo breaks it up.
16:59Now duking it out.
17:01Smothers and Saboo.
17:02Saboo backed into the corner.
17:04And a shot with authority.
17:06Open hand slap and a punch from Tracy Smothers.
17:08Turns it around.
17:09Saboo now with Smothers backed into the corner.
17:11Saboo returns the favor there.
17:13Lighting up Smothers.
17:15Reversal of the Irish whip.
17:16Who's going to go into that table?
17:19Nobody.
17:20Going for Bill Alfonso was Smothers.
17:23And driven head first down to the canvas.
17:27Chair thrown right into the head of Tracy Smothers by Saboo.
17:31Smothers, you can see, is utterly disoriented after that shot from the chair.
17:35In a bad way.
17:36Could have been driven through that table.
17:39Brought his hands up and that is the...
17:40Punk goes for the cover.
17:43Chair across the back as CM Punk breaks that off.
17:46Punk's been very clever thus far, but his cleverness isn't paying off.
17:52This is not good for the Mafia.
17:54As Smothers now with that chair in the middle of the ring.
17:58And Punk driven face first down onto it.
18:04Clothesline takes down Saboo.
18:06Tracy Smothers in control.
18:07Clothesline takes him right in the back of the head.
18:11Great mark Tracy Smothers' maneuver.
18:13And as Punk went down, he hit his head on that chair.
18:18Saboo trying to defend there.
18:20Caught the chair out of midair.
18:22And Punk gets more of the same.
18:26Both times it worked for Smothers.
18:29Dragging Punk into the middle of the ring.
18:30Goes for the cover.
18:31Hooks the leg.
18:32But Saboo breaks it up.
18:35Taking advantage of that knee-jerk reaction to grab the chair before it hits your face.
18:38But Smothers capitalized on it.
18:41Saboo takes out the leg of Tracy Smothers.
18:46Sets him up.
18:47Arabian face bust with it at the back of the head.
18:49It's the second Arabian face bust we've seen.
18:52And a third right on top of CM Punk.
18:56Saboo goes for the cover.
18:58But at the last split second, that left shoulder of Tracy Smothers right off the canvas.
19:03Smothers had that brief moment when Saboo turned and delivered the Arabian face bust with CM Punk.
19:07And that might have been the only thing that allowed him to raise his shoulder up off the mat.
19:12Saboo now perched on the second rope.
19:14And that table set up in the middle of the ring.
19:17And rather than prompt him into the corner, going for the tornado DDT right onto that chair.
19:23Came right out of the corner with that planted Smothers right in the smack middle of the seat of that chair.
19:31Smothers met with a right hand.
19:33Saboo gives him a second one for good measure and a third.
19:35And Smothers is in a bad way on that table as CM Punk tries to catch his breath.
19:40But a boot to the midsection by Saboo takes the wind out of CM Punk.
19:45And Smothers laid out on that table.
19:48Saboo looks to be climbing to the top rope.
19:52First on the top.
19:53Leg drop Smothers through that table.
19:56A giant flying leg drop by Saboo.
19:59Punk.
20:00Leg for the cover.
20:01John Howard makes the cover.
20:04And CM Punk scores the pinball.
20:08Punk.
20:10CM Punk is your winner.
20:15Bill Punk not be a motherfucker.
20:18Bill Alfonso with a chair right to the head of CM Punk.
20:23Laying in wait for him as Punk turned around there.
20:26Every opportunist.
20:28Shaggy 2-Dope in the ring.
20:29Violent J and Bill Alfonso with another table.
20:33A second table in the ring.
20:35See how Punk's the winner of the match.
20:36But what are the insane clown posse, Saboo and Bill Alfonso.
20:40What have they got in mind?
20:43Punk powerbombing Shaggy 2-Dope into a pit of thumbtacks last night.
20:47They could be looking for revenge right here.
20:49Get off that table posse.
20:53Punk might have been victorious in the match.
20:55But he'll be celebrating in the hospital tonight.
20:58As Saboo comes off the top.
21:00Standing there on the top turnbuckle.
21:02Bill Alfonso telling the no.
21:05Not the fat clown.
21:07Not the fat clown.
21:08Move out of the way, Punk.
21:15Move out of the way.
21:19Shaggy!
21:24No.
21:25This is not looking good for CM Punk.
21:28CM Punk doesn't have a lot of friends in the locker room.
21:30And he probably wants to be good tonight.
21:32There's nobody here to make the save.
21:35No!
21:35No!
21:36Oh!
21:36No!
21:37No!
