Doug Yasinsky

International Pro Wrestling (IPW) Within a few years, Yasinsky was running wrestling events with Ed Zohn. Although based in Pennsylvania, they were holding shows on the East Coast and in New England. Among the wrestlers who appeared at their shows included Don Montoya and a young Reckless Youth who made his first Connecticut appearance with the promotion. On May 20, 1995, Yasinsky teamed with The Public Enemy (Rocco Rock & Johnny Grunge) in a 6-man tag team match at a show for Extreme Championship Wrestling at The Flagstaff in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. They defeated Stevie Richards & The Pitbulls (Pitbull#1 & #2) when Yasinsky pinned Richards.

Sidelined by a serious knee injury, Yasinsky would not return to wrestling full-time until 1996. By that time, he and Bronsky had started their own Harrisburg-based promotion, International Pro Wrestling, where they formed the heel stable "The Brat Pack" with manager G.Q. Bronsky. On January 11, 1997, he lost to 911 at a show for the Century Wrestling Alliance at The Sports Palace in New Britain, Connecticut. Five months later, he met 911 in a rematch at an IPW event at Flagstaff Hall in Jim Thorpe. Their match was part of a triple main event including a match between Bam Bam Bigelow and Glen Osbourne, and IPW Heavyweight Champion Brick Bronsky defending his title against Frank Stalletto. A cruiserweight match between Reckless Youth and Julio Sanchez was featured on the undercard.

On December 5, 1997, Yasinsky faced Cueball Carmichael wrestled Doug Flex at Flagstaff Mountain Park in Jim Thorpe. One of the biggest IPW shows of the year, the event raised money for the United Cerebral Palsy of Carbon County organization. The event also included many top independent stars including 911, Glen Osborne, Reckless Youth, Julio Sanchez, Mike Quackenbush, Jimmy Cicero and King Kong Bundy. Gene Snisky, a future WWE star, also made his Pennsylvania debut.

During the next year, according to independent wrestler Tommy Idol, Yasinsky and booker Ed Zohn stopped running shows in the Lebanon area following a dispute with rival promoter Larry Brown allowing his Lethal Wrestling Federation to take over the "open town". Prior to his official ranking in the 1998 PWI 500, he put out an open challenge to any wrestler rated higher than him (#433) to meet him in IPW. He also appeared with Adam Flash at an event for Future Wrestling Alliance in Reading on October 13, 2001. The event was covered by Smart Mark Video and was commentated by Reckless Youth and Jeff Gorman.

Prior to its close, Yasinsky wrestled Hosaka Sato at an IPW show in Summit Hill, Pennsylvania on March 19, 2004. Later that night, he served as IPW Heavyweight Champion Salvatore Sincere's bodyguard in his match against The Hungarian Barbarian. Also on the card were Julio Dinero, Mike Quackenbush, The Patriot, Eddie Kingston, Gran Akuma, Hallowicked, Sonjay Dutt, Ruckus, Bobcat, Al Snow and Jerry "The King" Lawler. Yasinsky continued to promote sporting events, mostly boxing and mixed martial arts, in Pennsylvania during the 2000s. He also collaborated with screenwriter Dale Schneck to create a drama television series based around professional wrestling.

World Cage-fighting Championships (WCC) In 2009, Yasinsky and Jeff Sibbach launched the World Cage-fighting Championships, then joined forces with TYHG', and Yasinsky's former, and Sibbach's original, Professional Wrestling Tag-Team Partner Brick Bronsky (Jeff Beltzner of Evolving Pictures Entertainment).

On November 20, 2009, the World Cage-fighting Championships (WCC 1) "The Steel City Beatdown”, was the first sanctioned Mixed Martial Arts event to be held in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.

At the (WCC 3) "Brawl at the Hall", on October 9, 2010, 'UFC' veteran Carmelo Marrero defeated former 'Bellator' fighter Steven Banks with a neck crank tap out at 2:33 of Round 2 to win the vacant World Cage-fighting Championships Heavyweight Title.

As of June 2018, the World Cage-fighting Championships had held 19 events and (in addition to the numerous undercard fights), has presided over approximately 134 professional matches.
