» In early 2006, â~The Showstealerâ Alex Shane, after a long reign as FWA Champion, lost his title, and retired from professional wrestling. At the same time, Martin Stone was coming up for his tenth defence of his title, the IPW:UK Title.
Fast forward to Sunday October 15th 2006. After am amazing Tables Ladders & Chairs main event, promoter Daniel Edler got into the ring to congratulate the wrestlers, and to thank the fans for coming along and giving their all in support of this new promotion set to try and provide them regular wrestling month in month out. As he was set to finish, FWA owner Greg â~The Truthâ Lambert interrupted, and before long, â~The Showstealerâ Alex Shane made his in-ring return, coming out of the darkness to crush Edlerâs skull with a sickening chair shot.
Stone, still injured from earlier in the evening, came out to stop Shane from causing any more havoc, but backed up by American Colt Cabana, Shane and Lambert managed to make an escape out the front exit.
And then, one week later, while cutting a promo about an upcoming defence of his title (a title he went on to lose, that very evening), Martin Stone was interrupted â” this time by Jorge Castano, and then, by Shane.

On Friday March 16th, IPW:UK takes on the FWA, as Martin Stone takes on Alex Shane â” winner take all. Each man will represent the promotion they love and helped to build from the ground up. And the loser, loses everything.
