It was standing room only on March 23 at the House of Insanity, aka the Robert A. Hutchinson FOP Hall at 1051 Strasburg Road. Insane Wrestling Revolution fans packed the house to watch IWR-19 Royalty Reignz. The evening featured ECW’s Queen of Extreme Francine and two IWR title matches.

The VIP portion of the night started off with current Impact Wrestling Superstar and Bullet Club Member Ace Austin defeating fellow Impact Wrestling Superstar Jack Price. The crowd chanted “This is awesome!” throughout the match.

Next up on the VIP card was Impact’s Mean Gia making her IWR in-ring debut against fan favorite Miss Canada Kelly Moore. The two competitors kept the crowd in suspense until Miss Canada won the match by pinfall.

In a triple threat match at IWR-19 Royalty Reignz, IWR Tag Champs The Rascalz, Trey Miguel and Myron Reed retained their IWR World Tag Team titles.

The VIP card ended with the $1,000 VIP 15-Man Battle Royale. DTA’s Jack Price pulled double duty on the VIP card and won, outlasting 15 other IWR Superstars. Price tossed the final competitor over the top rope to take home the victory and the $1,000 prize.

During intermission, Insane Wrestling Revolution debuted their new pro wrestling talk show, "Benjamin Boone’s The Bachelor Pad.” Boone hosted his first guest, leader of The Eh Team John Eh. Bravo. The two spoke of The Eh Team’s domination in IWR, and The Bachelor gifted Bravo and The Eh Team his personal bodyguard, Amazing N8 Mattson, to now form the Eh Team Special Forces.

The night’s main card started off with the highly anticipated rematch between current IWR United States Champion and Impact Wrestling Superstar Top Notch Jason Hotch and former Impact World Champion Rich Swann. The crowd was evenly split with exuberant chants of “Let’s go Swann” met by equally loud chants of “Let’s go Hotch.” Hotch and Swann went back and forth throughout the entire match with hard hits and insane, high-flying action with Swann hitting his top rope Phoenix Splash on Hotch to pick up the victory and become the new IWR United States Champion.

The next title match was a triple threat IWR World Tag Team Title match putting the IWR Tag Champs The Rascalz, Trey Miguel and Myron Reed up against DTA’s Aaron Orion and Isaiah Broner and Jeremiah Goldmain’s The Gold Reserve team of Damian Chambers and Bry Sullivan. The Rascalz, Miguel and Reed, double teamed Sullivan and got the pinfall and retained their IWR World Tag Team Titles.

Other matches included The Perminator Sam Beale with OX defeating The Big Bad Wolf Ace Evans, Buckeye Sam with Coach Dutch gaining victory over The Rodragous Rod Lee, and crowd favorite The Main Event Monster Madman Fulton securing the win over Grimey Zach Thomas in one of the most entertaining matches of the night.

After Fulton’s victory, the Queen of Extreme Francine came to the ring to thank the crowd but was rudely interrupted by the Canadian World Order faction of John Eh. Bravo, the IWR World Heavyweight champion King Latimer and the newly formed Eh Team Special Forces, threatening her with the warning there is only one royal subject in Monroe, Ontario, Canada and that’s King Thomas Latimer. Miss Canada Kelly Moore, in disguise, tried to defend Francine, but Bravo unceremoniously sent her out of the ring and the group began to corner the Queen until “Gore, gore, gore” could be overheard throughout the lodge. The crowd went wild as Monroe’s own Manbeast Rhino along with Dread King Logan and The Most Dangerous Man in Michigan The DBA burst through the curtains and went to the aid of Francine, ridding the CWO from the ring.

Complete chaos ensued with the two teams battling all over the House of Insanity. Miss Canada and Francine landed some low blows of their own to Bravo and Latimer. The match ended when Rhino hit King Latimer with the gore to pick up the win. After the big win, or what was thought to be a big win, the Canadian senior official came to the ring to announce that since the official who started the match didn’t finish the match, it would be thrown out and not count at IWR. Unhappy with the official’s decision, Rhino knocked the official out and asked the crowd, “Who wants this official to go through a table?” With crowd approval, The Saint Brothers brought out a table and Rhino slammed the Canadian official through the table as the crowd cheered with excitement.
