XBW In Memory Of 1 (Season 2)
From Bywpedia
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.

Background
The main match at In Memory Of was the Nemesis Memorial Cup Fatal Four Way Elimination match for the Nemesis Memorial Cup between The Icon, Deathwarrent, Tommy Gunn, and The Reaper. Following the comeback of XBW since their hiatus and the death of Nemesis two years prior, this conception was introduced to pay tribute to the fallen leader. Deathwarrent would announce in the opening of the show that subsequently on that episode, the match would occur.
Event
The event opened up at 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 (included The Reaper) on War. Gunn unsincerely apologized for the incident acknowledging his unfair win and offered to reward The Reaper with the championship before calling him out 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; one 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.
