Revision as of 06:31, 6 September 2008
XBW In Memory Of 1 (Season 2) was the first annual and season In Memory Of backyard wrestling supercard event produced by XBW Wrestling (XBW). It occurred on Episode 2 in the state of Maryland. While the event became the inaugural In Memory Of within the XBW, it is marked for being the sole event that historically witnessed two different champions crowned in the same match as well as the only In Memory Of to host a Nemesis Memorial Cup Fatal Four Way instead of a Battle Royal as seen in the subsequent In Memory Of events.
The main event was between Deathwarrent, The Icon, The Reaper and Tommy Gunn in a Nemesis Memorial Cup Fatal Four Way Elimination match whereas the winner received an XBW Championship match, which Deathwarrent was victorious after a Leg drop. One match on the undercard featured Chris Phoenix versus War in a 2 Falls match for the XBW Maryland and XBW Championship.

The event opened up to the immediate appearance of Tommy Gunn, who had revealed on the previous episode of Revolution, to be the mastermind of a new faction called JCW and its mission to bring demise to XBW Wrestling following a controversial XBW Championship victory over War courtesy of the physical attacks by his posse (including The Reaper) on War. Gunn unsincerely apologized for the incident acknowledging his unfair win and soon offered to reward The Reaper with the championship before calling him out. But it was only to be confronted by Deathwarrent, who drawed a line to Gunn's set sights of rewarding Reaper and promptly stripped him of the title, adding that Gunn could award Reaper with the JCW Championship to the least of his worries as the XBW Championship would be defended in a 2 Falls match between War and Chris Phoenix with the XBW Maryland and XBW Championship hanging in the balance in each fall. In further addition, Deathwarrent announced the blockbuster main event of a Nemesis Memorial Fatal Four Way Elimination match between himself, Tommy Gunn, The Icon and The Reaper to pay commemoration to their fallen leader, Nemesis.
The first match of the event was a 2 Falls match between champion War and Chris Phoenix for the XBW Maryland (first fall) and XBW Championship (vacant; second fall). Keeping note that no rules are enforced in the XBW at this time, the contest begins with Phoenix's attempt to charge War with a steel chair but finds himself on the receiving end of a superkick. Both combatants made for a competitive physical match incorporating weaponry. Phoenix showed some frustration in the bout but soon connects with a Sitout facebuster and gets the pinfall to become XBW Maryland Champion. He would next unleash his frustrations on the official in his attempts to capture another title but War would later set up for The Swanton City and pin to claim the XBW Championship.
The final match of the event was the Nemesis Memorial Cup Fatal Four Way match between Deathwarrent, Tommy Gunn, The Icon and The Reaper for the Nemesis Memorial Cup accompanied with the opportunity to compete for any championship of the winner's choosing. All four competitors competed in a Battle Royal-style pinning predicament match with The Icon trying his luck to eliminate Deathwarrent after a splash as well as Reaper did after a Chokeslam on The Icon. The Reaper soon had his first victim eliminated in Tommy Gunn. After Deathwarrent executed a Leg drop on The Reaper, The Icon sought his chance to put Reaper down for the count and eliminated him. Coming down to the final bits of the match, The Icon looks for a Seated three-quarter facelock jawbreaker reversed by Deathwarrent for an Apocalypse, follwed by a Leg drop and the pinfall to crown Deathwarrent the first-ever Nemesis memorial Cup Winner (accompanied with championship opportunity).
