The Nittany Wrestling Federation will have its "season finale" this Friday, March 30 at 8 PM in the Penn State White Building. VIP: Very Intense Punishment 3 will be the climactic end of the 2000-2001 NWF year, a "Night of Champions," a "Night of Returns," and a night sure to go down in the annals of independent pro-wrestling history. Experience all the glitz, all the glamor, and the pageantry of this year's VIP! As always admission is 100% free!
Here are the matches for VIP 3, as announced LIVE on "Monday Night Mayhem" this week:
30-Minute Marathon Match for the NWF Title: "Too Phat" Yutzak Arafat vs. "LiveWire" Dave Desire, in Desire's Farewell Match.
The winner of the match will be the man who can win the most falls in 30 minutes. This match came about when NWF fans voted "LiveWire" Dave Desire as the #1 contender for the NWF title for VIP back in February, even though Desire had been sidelined by crippling collarbone injury for a year. At first Desire was reluctant to accept the fans' invitation, but after an internet campaign to get him to return, he accepted the great honor.
Desire's opponent will be NWF Champion "Too Phat" Yutzak Arafat, one of his long-time friends. After teaming with Fumar against Los Hermanos Fumar at Retribution, Arafat can finally focus on his NWF Title defense against Desire. But word came in to the NWF website on Monday that Arafat had broken his left foot in the tag match this past Saturday. His place in the main event is now in doubt, as questions have arised about whether he will be able to compete.
With both men, Desire and Arafat, being less than 100%, how will they be able to compete for 30 minutes at VIP? How will these two men, these two friends, be able to battle against each other, knowing the injuries they have incurred could become more aggrevated and cause permanent damage to their bodies? What lengths will these two men go to, to fight for the top prize in the NWF? VIP will provide us the answers this Friday.
University Park Title: Fumar Dos will defend the title against Fumar in a mask vs. hair match
At Retribution when Fumar Dos won the University Park Title, he became only the third man in NWF history to be a dual champion in the NWF, joining such illustrious company as Yutzak Arafat and Dave Desire.
At VIP, Fumar Dos and Fumar, the two supposed relatives, will do battle in a match that is not only for the University Park Title, but is a mask vs. hair match! If Fumar wins the match, he will get to unmask Fumar Dos and we will finally get to see just who this man really is. If Fumar Dos wins the match, not only will Fumar have to shave his head, but the true identity of Fumar Dos may never be known. Clearly a lot is riding on the line in this match, and what better place to settle this than at VIP.
NWF Tag Team Titles: Los Hermanos Fumar (Fumar Dos & Fumar Tres) will defend the tag belts against Tommy Golden & a mystery partner
At first, no one took Los Hermanos Fumar seriously. But now after Fumar Dos and Fumar Tres have had a successful run as NWF Tag Team Champions, defeating the likes of The Damned and several other teams, Los Hermanos Fumar are a force to be reckoned with.
The cousins not only have shown incredible cohesion together in the ring, but they have also shown a vicious mean streak that has enabled their success. Fumar Dos' Boston Crab sidelined Shawn Storm for several months with three broken ribs, and when Storm returned at Retribution on Saturday, Dos locked in the Crab once again, shelving Storm perhaps once and for all.
Also at Retribution, Fumar Dos and Fumar Tres took out Tommy Golden backstage, allowing Tres to take Golden's place in the main event tag match. During the match, Dos blatantly attacked both Sellina Snatch and Sahara Sarah, and as Arafat checked on the condition of both women, Dos and Tres isolated Fumar and screwed him out of the UP Title.
At VIP, Golden will have the chance for revenge on Los Hermanos Fumar. Had he been able to participate in the main event at Retribution, Golden believes that it would be he, not Arafat, wrestling in the main event at VIP and defending the NWF Title. Golden has enlisted a mystery partner for this match, and the identity of this individual is definitely a puzzle. In his years in the NWF, Golden has made very few friends, and what friends he has made he has alienated in his quest to be NWF Champion. So just who will Golden's partner be at VIP, and together will they be able to finally end Los Hermanos Fumars' reign? We shall see!
Ruckus vs. Rapid Fire Maldonado
Ruckus made one of the most impressive debuts in NWF history as he came away the winner in an explosive match against Feature Presentation last Saturday. This up-and-coming superstar will once again put his high-flying skills on display for the world to see this Friday night at VIP, as this time he battles Rapid Fire Maldonado.
Maldonado is a man who has been close to the University Park Title on a couple occasions, but who has always had the rug pulled out from underneath him by forces beyond his control. Popular amongst the fans, Maldonado has shown that he has the heart of a champion, even though he does not have the gold to prove it. At VIP this uncrowned champion will test himself against Ruckus, one of the most daring superstars in all of pro-wrestling, and what a battle it will be.
Three-way dance: Feature Presentation vs. Kevin KanEvil vs. Bax
Coming off the heels of a hard-fought loss to Ruckus, Feature Presentation, whose stock is rising in the NWF, will take on fellow Penn Stater Kevin KanEvil, and another up-and-coming superstar in the NWF, the undefeated Bax. All three of these young guns will be shooting to steal the card on a night that is packed, from top-to-bottom, with the most potential in the 3-year history of any NWF event.
Plus: Sellina Snatch, Sahara Sarah, and who knows what surprises lay in store for the NWF fans at VIP: Very Intense Punishment, this Friday at 8 PM in the Penn State White Building!
