IWTV broadcasts simultaneous shows for the first time ever.
Last night was a monumental night for IWTV.live. Coming off the news of their merger with Smart Mark Video, the streaming service put another feather in it's cap, streaming St. Louis Anarchy's "Gateway To Anarchy 2020" and Freelance Wrestling's "2020: A Freelance Odyssey". WWE has never streamed two shows at one time. I contacted WWE in regards to this, but I haven't heard back as of the posting of this column.
The night wasn't smooth sailing the whole night, but for the first time ever, I think I'd look at it as a pretty successful night. IWTV themselves issued an apology for some of the tribulations viewers experienced (Freelance show could only be seen via the web browser; WiFi issues at Anarchy,").
THREE WRESTLING SHOWS TRENDED LAST NIGHT
The branding of the show left some non wrestling fans very angry. Gateway To Anarchy 2020 used the hashtag #GTA2020, which put gamers in a euphoric state as they thought the hashtag denoted a possible return of the Grand Theft Auto video game series.
Feelings were hurt, accounts were blocked and wrestling trended.
KYLIE RAE ATTACKED
After successfully defending her Freelance Heavyweight Title, Rae was attacked masked men in the center of the ring. The attackers would soon expose their faces, revealing Frank The Clown and Robert Ego Anthony. It was a vicious attack, with Ego choking a helpless Rae.

HAMMERSTONE NEW PCW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION
My new best friend Alex Hammerstone defeated Mil Muertes to become the PCW Ultura Heavyweight champion, ending Muertes' 287 day reign. After his victory, Hammerstone took to twitter to comment on what the moment meant to him.
Tonight was the culmination of years of hard work. I walked into @pcwultra years ago, losing on the undercard of the top show in california using the top wrestlers from around the world. Tonight I won my 25th championship and now represent this brand as the heavyweight champion. pic.twitter.com/6PWNQbbzM3— Hammerstone (@alexhammerstone) January 11, 2020
