"PWE" Faction in IPW

At IPW Breakdown 2008, Justin Lane appeared to cost Kommissioner Kool a potential win over Jon E King, and handed King a PWE shirt at the conclusion of the fight. The shirt, which King accepted gratefully, represented the failed local wrestling company, Pro Wrestling Entertainment.

At IPW Redemption 2008, Jon E King and Justin Lane informed the fans that they were taking over IPW. At an IPW Ignition show, Lane and King interfered the taping and continued making threats that at IPW Unbreakable the pair would win the pre-match stipulation: The IPW Commissioner's position was on the line.
