==="PWE" Faction in Impact Pro Wrestling===
At the Impact Pro Wrestling NZ show 'Breakdown 2008', Justin Lane appeared to cost Kommissioner Kool a potential win over former IPW New Zealand Heavyweight Championship holder 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 'Unbreakable 2008' Kommissioner Kool and The Machine faced Jon E. King and Justin Lane, however during the match The Machine turned on Kommissioner Kool and joined PWE as an enforcer, making King the new IPW Commissioner in the process. The trio recruited the tag team Saint Chaos (Brian Saint James and Curt Chaos) at 'Unleashed 2008' after helping them defeat Pirates and Ninjas Are Totally Awesome (Pirate Jason Burns and Ninja Liam Fury) when The Machine executed the Machine Head on Ninja Liam Fury, Jon E. King grabbed the bell when the referee attempted to disqualify Saint Chaos and ordered the referee to count the pinfall, and at 'Rival Turf 2008' King won the IPW South Pacific Championship. However at 'Nightmare Before Xmas 2008' Team IPW (Link Van Haggard, Kid Liger, Pirate Jason Burns and Ninja Liam Fury) defeated Team PWE (Jon E. King, The Machine, Brian Saint James and Curt Chaos) in an 8-man match to cost King his IPW Commissionership, at 'Breaking Point 2009' King lost the South Pacific Championship to Lil T. (with help from guest referee Vinny Dunn), and at 'Genesis 2009' each member of PWE wrestled an IPW wrestler. Jordan Invincible defeated Curt Chaos, Brian Saint James defeated Les West (with help from Curt Chaos), Daddy Kool defeated Justin Lane, Jon E. King defeated Vinny Dunn and Dal Knox defeated The Machine. Due to IPW winning the series 3-2 the PWE faction was forced to disband immediately. All PWE paraphernalia are banned from IPW shows and the members are banned from teaming together as a fivesome for six months.
