The IWA returned to 1390 Woerner Ave. in Clarksville, IN this past Saturday
night, 3/1. Here's what went down...

Adam Gooch defeated Tarek the Great to become the number one contender for
the IWA Mid-South lightheavyweight title held by Nate Webb. Gooch was helped
considerably by the biased officiating of Brent Blades. Tarek hit the Tarek
Buster but Brent counted really slow and then stopped counting so Gooch
wouldn't lose. Tarek then fell prey to a fast count allowing Gooch to win.

Steve Stone defeated Lemonjello. Devon Fury came out first and handed Jim
Fannin an index card stating that he had legally changed his name and that
the name on the card was how he was to be introduced. Fannin asked if it was
pronounced as it was spelled and Devon said yes. His new name: Lemonjello. It
isn't pronounced as Lemon Jello however, but lamonjallo. Steve Stone wins
with the moonsault.

PT Hustla defeated Rollin Hard. Hustla gave Fannin a card and did the same
spiel as Devon. His new name is Orangejello pronounced O ron jallo. He took
it to Rollin Hard and did a very good showing for himself in his IWA debut.
Lemonjello came out to help him and it led to Orangejello getting the victory
over Rollin. Lemonjello then put on Rollin's wig and Orangejello took his
Kill Whitey sign. They put the boots to Rollin until Steve Stone made the
save. Stone then asked Rollin to be his partner to "get rid of those
negroes." Rollin got on the mic and told Steve Stone "you sir are talking to
a negroe" and left the ring.

Mark Wolf def. Simon Sezz. Simon again came out and complained about Hero
ducking him by still being in Europe. This brought out a very angry Mark Wolf
who decided to defend the honor of his best friend. Mark dominated early but
then Simon took control. He made the mistake of going for the Hero's Welcome
and Mark reversed it into the Nevermind DDT for the victory.

Orangejello and Lemonjello came out with Rollin's wig and sign and said they
liked what he told Steve Stone. They asked him to come out and get his stuff
back and join the Black Nation. Rollin came out and refused to join causing
them to jump him and bloody him with a ddt onta a chair. As they beat on
Rollin they complained about him making fun of black people with his food
stamp champ and ghetto talk stuff. They never used a food stamp in their life
and they work hard to make a living. Steve Stone again made the save and
asked Rollin to be his partner. Rollin again refused telling Steve Stone that
he already has a partner.

Danny Daniels defeated JC Bailey. Danny came out and cut down JC saying that
he wasn't impressed with the circus death match because he is a technical
wrestler not a garbage wrestler. JC got several near falls in the matchup but
couldn't get the three count. JC went for a crossbody off the top but Danny
caught him and gave him a tombstone for the victory. Afterwards, he asked Jim
Fannin when the Sweet Science tournament was. Fannin responded with November
7th and 8th and Daniels said he would circle those dates on his calendar
because he knows he is in this year.

Jim Fannin then called out Adam Gooch. Too Tuff Tony hadnt gotten back from
the hospital yet after taking his daughter there. Michael Todd Stratton,
Mitch Rider, and Bull Pain weren't there either. Therefore, Fannin ordered
Gooch to take one for the team and face Corporal in the main event or else he
had 15 minutes during intermission to get one of them there to take his place.

Intermission ended and out came Gooch to wrestle Corporal in the main event
lumberjack lighttubes match. Gooch at a huge disadvantage as he only had
Daniels and the Jello brothers on his side. Brent Blades was the ref however
and kept Corporal from using tubes himself since the lumberjacks had them.
Corporal eventually got a tube and used it to cut open Gooch. He then had all
his friends build a chair bridge and lay their tubes across the bridge. He
then hiptossed a running Gooch over the top rope into the lighttube chair
bridge. He then brought Gooch back in and hit the boot camp. At this point,
the lumberjacks started brawling as Mark and Simon, Lemonjello and Stone,
Rollin and Orangejello went at it. Brent stopped counting at two on the boot
camp and checked Corp's cut to try and stop the match like he did during Mark
Wolf vs. Mitch Rider last week. Robert Lemke ran into the ring and shoved
Brent and that led to both going to the mat and fighting. Corp and Gooch
tried to pull them apart and as they did, Gooch threw Lemke from the ring.
Corp spun around with Brent right into a missle dropkick from Danny Daniels.
Gooch then hit a centon onto Corp and Brent supplied a fast count for the
victory. Brent then called Lemke into the ring pissed that Lemke keeps
"stickng his nose" into his business. He went to hit Lemke but Lemke blocked
it and drilled Brent with a punch of his own. Brent flew backwards and Gooch
attacked Lemke and got Brent and left in a hurry. Corporal then cut a promo
on how sick he is of the BMF's and Brent Blades and how with Mark, JC, Stone,
Simon and him, that they could take the BMFs in a fair fight. He suggested
that they punch Brent at the start of any match he refs of theirs. Then he
told Gooch and Brent that they will fear what they don't understand and hate
what they can't conquer.

Germany and got a GREAT reaction - awesome feeling!

All his trainees did very good at the show.

a good heavywieght match, but not as good as last weekend. But it was more
heated.

After the intermission Chris Hero beat Martin Nolte with the Hangman's
Clutch! Over 200 Fans wiated for the submission and the fans exploded after
Nolte taped!

Chris will return in April to defend his title in Germany.
