By Richard Trionfo on 12/3/2012 1:59 AM
Exactly five years after their reunion show, IPW Hardcore Wrestling returned to action with IPW: Resurrection. This show provided the fans of this company a chance to see some of the wrestlers who established their careers in the company as well as a chance to see what some of these wrestlers have been up to since the reunion show in 2007.

The Wildwood Recreation Center in St Petersburg, Florida was the venue for this show.
