The past 3 years, Absolution has been one of AIW’s top events of the year…and this year is looking to outdo the others. Already scheduled for this event is…

MAIN EVENT: FANS BRING THE WEAPONS FOR THE ABSOLUTE TITLE: DRAKE YOUNGER DEFENDS AGAINST JIMMY DEMARCO!
Jimmy Demarco is a man who once got a bad rap from AIW Management, having to portray a football player and gang member among other things to get his foot in the door. He was even forced to work Absolution 2 in a dark match, not even making the regular card. Before he could get his footing, he left. Returning in September of 2008, Demarco returned on a mission to make his way to the top of AIW, or destroy the entire company while trying. Leaving broken ladders, blood and violence in his path, Jimmy has proven he’s not just a punch line but rather a force to be reckoned with. Meanwhile Drake Younger has been on of the MVP’s in recent AIW history as he’s had some of the most unbelievable matches in AIW with the likes of Vincent Nothing and Josh Prohibition. Winning the Absolute Title at “March For The Gold 2″, Drake asked for more challengers. Jimmy Demarco with his controversial victory of the 4th Annual Gauntlet For The Gold won his opportunity at the title. Drake offered his hand, but in return Jimmy slapped his face and left. When these two men meet, there will be blood, there will be “ultra violence” and one man will leave as Absolute Title.

TLC MATCH FOR AIW TAG TITLE: THE YOUNG STUDS DEFEND AGAINST FAITH IN NOTHING!
Somehow against all odds, The Young Studs won the AIW Tag Titles in September at “Die Another Day” and have held them ever since. Even to the point of getting DQ’ed and having fluke wins against teams such as Faith In Nothing and Flip/Lyndon. Faith In Nothing after being cheated out of their quest for the titles multiple times, Faith In Nothing have demanded a TLC Match at Absolution 4. Shockingly, The Young Studs accepted and Eric Ryan even put Christian Faith on a table and hit a brutal legdrop at “Zero Hour” and proclaimed that the Young Studs will kill Faith In Nothing. Who will leave Absolution holding the tag titles? With No DQs, No Countouts and Tables, Ladders and Chairs legal, will Faith In Nothing finally fulfill their destiny?

INTENSE TITLE: JOSH PROHIBITION DEFENDS AGAINST BOTH FACADE AND JOHNNY GARGANO!
At Absolution 3, Johnny Gargano finally fulfilled his destiny of winning the Intense Title. Sadly in his first defense of the title, he ended up injured and had to vacate the title. During this time, he backed Facade as his friend and pick to carry on the legacy of the Intense Title. Facade and Gargano’s plans didn’t last long as Jimmy Demarco spoiled the party and won the Intense Title and kept it even against their wishes. In a shocking moment, at “Gauntlet For The Gold 4″, Gargano, not even cleared to wrestle, answered Demarco’s challenge and won the title in mere seconds. Facade on the DL at the time, watched in disgust as his boy won HIS title. When Facade had the chance, he turned on Gargano and shockingly joined with former enemies Demarco and Shiima Xion. While their alliance has never been explained, Gargano didn’t have much time to soak in his friend’s betrayal as Josh Prohibition stood in the way. At “Girl’s Night Out”, Prohibition won the Intense Title in a hard fought battle with Gargano. With no love lost between Facade and Prohibition due to past battles, this match has multiple layers. Three men will enter, but only one will leave as the Intense Champ. Who will it be?

I QUIT DOG COLLAR MATCH: HAILEY HATRED VS. “THE PASSION” JOHN THORNE
“The Passion” John Thorne has been win less in Absolution history, he plans on changing that and also ending the career of his most heated rival, Hailey Hatred. When Thorne had woman troubles in his personal life, he wanted to quit wrestling. When he couldn’t beat the girl that caused the problems, he found the closet thing possible inside of the wrestling business. Hailey Hatred started his career feuding with Team Sexy. Rebis & The Potato were no match for her, so they got Mickie Knuckles to face her at Absolution 3. Victorious in that match, Hailey’s next challenge was a no-ropes barbed wire match against Thorne. When he wrapped barbed wire around her face until she submitted in a crossface, the feud became even more personal. Will this match finally end the feud? When they have met in two matches in 2009, they have yet to have a clear winner. At “Good Times, Great Memories” Hailey handcuffed Thorne and knocked him out with a chair. With the violence level as it is, this is poised to be one of the most brutal match ups in AIW history.

4-WAY TAG CHALLENGE: FLIP/LYNDON VS. THE OSIRIAN PORTAL VS. THE SWITCHBLADE CONSPIRACY VS. THE UNSTABLE!
AIW is always known for bringing in the best talent from across the world and this match is a perfect example of that. In this match, 4 tag teams are poised to compete for a future AIW Tag Title shot. The first team are AIW Regulars Flip Kendrick and Louis Lyndon. Both men have tried to gain the tag titles in the past and never had a winning effort. Could this be their chance? Team two is The Switchblade Conspiracy of Sami Callihan & Jon Moxely. Sami who had a falling out with Absolute Owner Chandler Biggins in 2008 when during an argument, Chandler referred to him as “Scami”, left AIW at that time. Now without his former partner and with Jon Moxely returns and wants to once again achieve greatness and being AIW Tag Champ. Will Sami turn out to be a two time champ? Rounding out the match are two teams representing Chikara, The Unstable and The Osirian Portal. Both teams were a part of the Chikara/AIW Double Header in September and impressed AIW Officials. Vin Gerald of The Unstable made an unimpressive AIW debut at “Hell On Earth 3″ as “Equinox”, will he with his partner Stigma make an impact on this night?

SURVIVOR SERIES STYLE GRUDGE MATCH: ALPHA BETA DUKE VS. THE JACK OF LOVE!
Jack Verville debuted in AIW in November of 2008, and quickly became of the least popular people according to the fans. With his “Dating Game Show” Jack Of Love, he quickly proved he’s one of the most annoying personalities on the entire AIW Roster. Nick Belushi took exception to The Jack Of Love, interrupting multiple ones. Jack responded by adding members to his crew including his personal trainer, Chest Flexor and “The New Beverly Brother” Bobby Beverly. Nick of course was backed by Super Oprah. During this time, Marion Fontaine gained two pinfall victories over Jack. Fontaine always looking for a friend, called upon his new friend, The Duke to help him against Jack Of Love. The Duke returned from his forced retirement and is being allowed by AIW Officials to once again compete. Jack Of Love being one man short, added Jefferson Saint at the last event. The cocky upstart rounds out the Jack Of Love team. Who will regain supreme in AIW? The annoying band of misfits, or the beer drinking, college frat house?

FLAG MATCH: DA LATIN CRIME SYNDICATE VS. THE HOMELESS HANDICAP CONNECTION AND LINCE DORADO!
In a feud that’s gone on for almost an entire year, The Homeless Handicap Connection and Da Latin Crime Syndicate have seen both victory and defeat. This match will finally decide who will win this personal feud when the winners flag will be raised above the ring. Needing a third man, The Homeless Handicap Connection sought out a person that will understand Da Latin Crime Syndicate better than anybody, a fellow latin in the form of Lince Dorado. A lucha star from Mexico, Lince will be defending America in this match as The Homeless Handicap Connection plan on raising the USA Flag above the ring. Will Da Latins succeed and raise the Puerto Rican flag instead?

ULTIMATE GRUDGE MATCH: JASON GORY VS. SHIIMA XION!
These men have had a historic rivalry that has crossed state lines and have split victories along the way. Meeting once before in AIW, Gory took the victory. In this match, Shiima is gunning for a win and to possibly put Jason Gory out of AIW forever. Gory who’s been feuding as of late with Shiima’s running mates Facade and Jimmy Demarco will be seeking to finally shut up his rival for good and move on with his career. Who will be victories in this feud?
