Travis Banks
October was a great month in the career of Travis Banks. The Bulls native took Jakob Cross apart in a Battle Scars brawl, and then turned in a strong performance at Armageddon in Auckland – where he teamed with WWE Hall of Famer “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan for a high-profile win against Aaron Henry and Fury.

TnT defended their IPW Tag Team Championships twice during October.

Pat Schisk
Schisk started the month of October slow with a tag team win at IPW Battle Scars, and then took the Armageddon Expo by storm when he picked up the Armageddon Cup, beating Curt Chaos in the tournament final. The win earns Schisk an IPW Championship match against Fury—who he also beat in tag team action—at Last Chance later this month.
