In addition to Ivan and Ms. Montana, the Xtreme Invasion is scheduled to include Masada, Necro Butcher, Sage Sin Supreme, Jody Threat, Kat Martini, Jasmin St. Claire, Veronica Caine and Death Match champ Shlak, with whom Montana serves as his official valet.
Ivan will continue his photographic work documenting the wild goings-on during the event, and Montana will once again come face-to-face with ‘Mega MAGA Leader’ St. Claire, whose ongoing ringside feud with the star has triggered some seriously bloody confrontations and a rowdy fan response.
“I’m so excited to be heading to New Jersey to meet new fans and bring some West Coast flavor to the East,” said Montana of the event. “It’s going to be an awesome show and I can’t wait to expand the XPW family.”
“Over 20 years ago when XPW did their first show on the East Coast called Hostile Takeover, my brother and I traveled with the promotion. It’s was basically enemy territory with threats to boot. It was nerve racking excitement. More than 20 years later, another trip to Hostile Territory – this time in New Jersey for ‘Invasion’, where there will be even more drama. But I tell you want the blood flowing through the veins makes this opportunity a time to create insane imagery and lasting memories. I can’t imagine the stories we will come home with.”

Get to know Ivan and Misha Montana at:
Born in Russia, Ivan moved to the U.S. as a child and earned a degree in Cinematography before embarking on an entertainment career in mainstream film and TV. He came into the adult biz in 2002, making his mark with such movies as 2004’s Texas Asshole Massacre and 2005’s Dawn of the Head, earning him a number of awards, nominations and a Hall of Fame induction that celebrate his talents.
While reveling in his success as a filmmaker, media personality, entrepreneur, podcast host and newly-engaged fiancé (to fellow entertainer/director Misha Montana), the past few years have also seen a surprise diabetes diagnosis that affected his ability to walk and work, and the horror of Montana suffering a stroke in 2021 that both sidelined, then recharged, their careers while driving home the “for better or for worse” aspect of their rock-solid partnership.
Between the extensive healing process, adopting a healthier lifestyle and developing new creative projects for himself and Montana, “What I learned during this experience is how important it is to listen to your body. Many of us have this ‘I got this!’ mentality, but truthfully, we don’t. It’s a serious reminder to stop and do a wellness check on ourselves physically, mentally, business-wise and how we treat others. We hustle and bustle and just run with no breaks, but we need those breaks… they are crucial.” To learn more about Ivan, visit IamIvan.com or follow him on Twitter @IamIvanXXX.
