ITL2, NIGHT ONE Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Opening Bout El Generico defeated Kevin Steen with the BRAINTBUSTAAAAAH! Steen brutalized Generico for a good portion of the bout, but the generic luchadore was resiliant and bounced back. He hit a Spaceman moonsault to the floor, then followed up with his signature version of the brainbuster for the pin.
Block A matches
The Miracle Violence Connection of Steve Williams and Terry Gordy defeated The Colony via Gordy POWER BOMB on Fire Ant. Williams started off strong on Solider, but the militant Ant made a comeback and The Colony gave the top seed in Block A some serious trouble. Fire Ant used a Beach Break on Williams, but the pin was broken up by Gordy. Gordy got the tag and shut the Colony down to stave off the upset.
The Briscoe Brothers and The Heavenly Bodies wrestled to a double countout, earning each team 1 point for the draw. This was a great match, but it broke down at the end. All four men were fighting on the floor, Mark squaring off against Dr Tom and Jay brawling with Sweet Stan. None of them were paying attention to the referee's count and the result was a double countout.
Non tournament main event Andre The Giant defeated Angelo Mosco with a bear hug. Mosca attacked at the bell, but Andre fought him off. Mosca got tossed around for a little bit, but got in some more shots and managed to take the Giant off his feet once.

Block B matches
Bolo and Geto Mongol defeated The Double Axe Attack with the Mongolian Drop on Larry Hennig. Cool Curt kept the bigger men off-balance with his speed and quick dropkicks, and Larry went toe-to-toe with them in the power department. IN the end Curt got dumped out of the ring and The Mogols put the double team to Larry to get the win.
The Road Warriors beat The Crusaders with the Doomsday Device. [/center]The Crusaders were determined to get the upset, and one of the Crusaders went to work on Animal's leg every chance he could and eventually locked in the figure four.

ITL2, NIGHT TWO Detroit, MI, USA

Colt rallied back and used the Bionic Elbow to set up Colt 45 for the pin.

Bruiser Brody and Jimmy Snuka beat The American Wolves when Snuka pinned Eddie Edwards after a flying head butt. The American Wolves were essentially outmatched here.

John and Chris Tolos defeated Mr Fuji and Mr Saito when Chris pinned Fuji after a flying knee drop. Siato got the early advantage on John, but the Tolos brothers brawled back into the match.

RVD and Sabu beat Finlay and Dave Taylor when Sabu put the Camel Clutch on Finlay. Finlay nearly got the win early with the Celtic Cross on Sabu, but Bill Alfonso made the timely distraction and the ref missed the pin. Sabu took a beating and finally tagged out to RVD.

Non-tournament main event
The Sheik won by disqualification over Johnny Valentine in a quick but violent brawl. Sheik attacked as Valentine was making his way to the ring and set off a brawl that finally made its way into the ring. Valentine rocked Sheik with a big chop to the chest, and Sheik bailed out of the ring. Valentine gave chase. Valentine rammed Sheik's head into a ringside table, Sheik pulled out the famous foreign object and jabbed at Valentine's skull, and both were a bloody mess before it was done. Valentine got control of the object and chased Sheik back into the ring with it. The ref warned him, but Johnny did not listen and used it to dig at Sheik's forehead to prompt the disqualification.

ITL 2, Night thirteen Charlotte, NC, USA
Heavenly Bodies beat Finlay and Taylor. Cornette provided crucial interference as Lane pinned Finlay to get the win. Finlay and Taylor end the tournament without a win.
The Tolos Brothers beat Larry and Curt Hennig when John pinned Curt. A hard fought matched ended when John and Chris Tolos double teamed Curt in the corner to set up the top rope knee by John for the win.
The American Wolves defeated The Crusaders. The Crusaders looked good, but could not keep the momentum going from their huge win over Brody and Snuka. The Wolves scored the victory when Davey used the DR Driver for the pin.
3LK beat The Colony. Konnan used the 1-87 on Soldier Ant to get the win. 3LK are still alive for the finals pending a Williams and Gordy win.
The Mongols and Fuji and Saito wrestled to a double countout. These guys fought hard; too hard, in fact, as they took it out of the ring and ignored the referee's count. Neither team made it back into the ring in time and the bout was ruled a draw.
Mark and Jay Briscoe defeated The Sheepherders. The match was as wild as one would imagine from these two teams. Brawling all over the place led to some high flying by Mark and finally the Doomsday Device on Luke for the win.
RVD and Sabu got the win over Steve Williams and Terry Gordy to clinch the overall win in block A. With everything on the line RVD and Sabu stepped up big to finish strong and close out the block. Sabu pinned Williams after an Arabian Facebuster.
Bruiser Brody and Jimmy Snuka beat The Road Warriors when Snuka pinned Hawk. Brody and Snuka had to overcome an embarrassing loss to the Crusaders and beat the defending ITLW champions. They succeeded as Snuka used the Superfly Leap to get the pin and force a tiebreaker rematch on the final night of the tournament to see who goes on to face RVD and Sabu for the championship.

Atlanta, GA, USA Tournament Finals
The Road Warriors beat Bruiser Brody and Jimmy Snuka in the tiebreaker to win block B of the tournament. It is hard to beat the Road Warriors once, it is next to impossible to do it twice in a row. Brody and Snuka almost accomplished that feat, but Snuka fell to a POWERSLAM by Animal to give the Road Warriors the win.
Gino Hernandez pinned Iceman King Parsons. Iceman got a good reaction from the crowd and seemed to be ready to go for the win when he threw Gino into the corner. As Iceman charged Gino moved and used a schoolboy pin (and a hook of the tights) to get the pin.
Wahoo McDaniel defeated Dick Murdoch. A long battle of a match went back and forth and in and out of the ring before Wahoo managed to lock in an abdominal stetch and roll over into a pinning combination to gain the win.
El Hijo del Santo, Dos Caras Jr, and Negro Casas defeated Perro Aguayo Jr, Damien 666, and Halloween. Fast-paced lucha libre trios action ensued as Perros del Mal tried to upend the second generation legends. The second generation stars overcame the rudo tactics and Santo pinned Perro for the deciding fall and the victory.
Rick Rude and King Kong Bundy (w/Jimmy Hart) defeated Magnum TA and Brutus The Barber Beefcake when Rude pinned Magnum. The makeshift duo of Magnum and Brutus did well for themselves; but the teamwork of Rude and Bundy, along with the distraction of Jimmy Hart, could not be overcome. Magnum headed up to the top rope to come down on Rude, but Jimmy distracted the ref and Bundy shoved Magnum off the top rope. Magnum crashed to the mat and Rude rolled over and scored the pin.
Tiger Mask pinned Jushin Thunder Liger with a TIGER SUPLEX. The high flying masked superstars from Japan put on an exciting exhibition. Tiger Mask was the clear winner and, despite a few nice moves from Liger, the outcome was never really in doubt.
The Road Warriors became 2-time ITLW tournament winners by beating RVD and Sabu. RVD and Sabu gave the Warriors the challenge they expected, but in the end the most dominant tag team in the history of wrestling pulled out the win. Animal set up Sabu and Hawk knocked him down with the DOOMSDAY DEVICE to seal the deal.
FINAL STANDINGS Block A RVD and Sabu- 21 pts (7-1) 3 Live Kru- 18 pts (6-1) Miracle Violence Connection- 15 pts (5-2) Briscoe Brothers- 10 pts (3-3-1) Heavenly Bodies- 7 pts (2-4-1) The Colony- 6 (2-5) Sheepherders- 6 (2-5) Finlay and Taylor- 0 (0-7)
Block B Road Warriors- 24 pts (8-1) Brody and Snuka- 18 pts (6-2) Tolos Brothers- 15 pts (5-2) American Wolves- 12 (4-3) The Mongols- 7 pts (2-4-1) Fuji and Saito- 7 (2-4-1) Double Axe Attack- 3 (1-6) Crusaders- 3 (1-6)
