Dominic Garrini: Kevin Ku And I Pushed For Two Years For IWTV Tag Team Titles

In December 2022, IWTV established the IWTV Independent Wrestling Tag Team Championships. 

Violence is Forever (Kevin Ku & Dominic Garrini) were crowned the first-ever IWTV Independent Wrestling Tag Team Champions at Beyond Heavy Lies The Crown, winning the tournament for the vacant titles by defeating Kylon King in a handicap match. King’s partner Dustin Waller was unable to compete in the bout. 

Garrini & Ku are widely considered to be one of the best tag teams in independent wrestling, and they were the team who pushed for the IWTV Tag Titles. 

“Kevin and I have been two of the most tried and true IWTV guys for the last couple of years. We were very much the drum beaters to get the IWTV Tag Titles. We would always talk to Gerry [Gerard Durling], ‘You need the tag titles, you need tag titles.’ After two years of badgering, a whole pandemic, we were finally able to wear him down into the tournament that took place most of last year when we won the initial titles. Now, tag team wrestling on that service is in a very good spot with Wrestling Open and a lot of Northeast guys. We’ve been four-time IWTV tag team champions. It’s one of those things where, we wanted to go somewhere we haven’t been. When you look at our GCW appearances, they’ve been with BLP co-promoted shows, Basement East shows, but we really haven’t done much more than that with them,” said Garrini while speaking to Jeremy Lambert & Stephen Jensen on The Spotlight. 

Miracle Generation (Dustin Waller & Kylon King) won the titles from Violence is Forever at Beyond Perfection Or Vanity in February 2023. 

Violence is Forever are now competing on more FITE TV events including GCW, BLP, and AIW shows.
