--SABU!! GOWEN!! SHARK!! M-DOGG!! PROHIBITION!!
--JIM FANNIN DESTROYED BY BALLS, IAN, PONDO, STONE!!
--BROKEN HEARTED TONIGHT IN SALEM!!

IWA Mid-South Wrestling presented "Payback, Pain, and Agony" on Friday night,
February 13th, at the Lincoln Center in Highland, Indiana. Here's what went
down...

1. JOSH PROHIBITION & M-DOGG 20 def. "The Wild Cards" EDDIE KINGSTON &
"Black" JACK MARCIANO in the opening tag team bout, following a swanton bomb by
M-Dogg.

2. BJ WHITMER (w/ Jim Fannin) def. SHARK BOY with an inside cradle. Shark was
able to hit the Dead Sea Drop on Whitmer, but Fannin placed BJ's foot on the
bottom rope to break up the pin attempt. As Shark Boy then took his attention
off Whitmer, and on Fannin (including pulling him into the ring and biting him
on the ass), this gave BJ the opportunity to catch Shark off guard, and get
the victory with an inside cradle.

3. MATT SYDAL def. PETEY WILLIAMS with a top rope moonsault belly to belly
suplex to retain the IWA Light Heavyweight Championship. This matchup between
two fan favorites saw Williams bust out a few more aerial maneuvers than he has
in his earlier IWA contests.

DANNY DANIELS and JIM FANNIN interrupted DAVE PRAZAK's announcements between
matches, confronting Prazak on when Daniels will be granted a rematch against
JERRY LYNN for the IWA World Heavyweight Championship. Prazak said that
several other wrestlers are deserving of title shots in IWA, and he'll have to
wait
his turn. Randomly TRIK DAVIS made his way to the ring and interrupted the
conversation, taking the microphone. Davis said he was unhappy he didn't have a
match on the show, particularly after his brutal match against Cash Flo on
1/17. Davis crazily asked Fannin for a rematch against Cash at the 3/6 Highland
event, the idea of which brought about much laughter from Fannin and Daniels,
and concern from Prazak, who said that it wouldn't be a good idea. Trik finally
said that he's serious, and wants to prove himself in IWA, and promised that
if he can't beat Cash Flo on 3/6, he'll leave IWA and never ask to be on
another show again. Fannin then agreed to give him the match. As Davis returned
to
the locker room, discussion returned to Daniels wanting a title shot at Lynn.
Daniels asked to face Lynn on 3/6 in Highland, since he knew that would be
Lynn's next official appearance in IWA. Prazak finally agreed to give him Lynn
on
3/6, but only on the condition that Daniels signs a contract stating that he
will only receive that one single title shot. Daniels agreed, saying that all
he needs is one opportunity to once again become IWA World Champ.

4. "The Future" CHRIS SABIN def. "Barbaric Berzerker" JIMMY JACOBS & ZACH
GOWEN (w/ Alex Shelley) in a three way elimination match. The bout was
originally
scheduled to be Jacobs vs. Shelley in the sixth match in the Best of Seven
Series, but Shelley was sidelined recently with a broken collarbone. IWA
scheduled Sabin to take Shelley's place in the match against Jacobs, which
didn't sit
well with Shelley. Just as Sabin and Jacobs were about to lock up, Shelley's
music hit and he came out to inform them that, in his opinion, Sabin was not
even in his league to replace him in the match, and he brought his own
replacement. Zach Gowen then made his entrance, and joined Shelley in berating
several
ringside fans. It was agreed that the match would become a three way, held
under elimination rules. Gowen was the first man eliminated, following Jacobs'
Contra Code. The final minutes of the match saw Sabin and Jacobs battle back
and forth until Sabin was able to hit Jacobs with Future Shock for the deciding
pinfall.

5. ADAM FLASH def. AUSTIN ARIES with a rollup and a handful of tights, just
seconds after Aries missed a 450 splash off the top rope.

6. LACEY def. DAIZEE HAZE in the IWA Womens Division bout of the evening,
following the implant DDT. The assigned referee for the bout was MICKIE
KNUCKLES,
who has faced both women in the past as a wrestler. Mickie called the match
down the middle, as both women put in a strong, and very hard hitting showing.
Lacey focused on the shoulder of Daizee during the contest, utilizing several
submission holds before hitting the implant DDT for the victory.

7. DELIRIOUS def. "Anarchist" ARIK CANNON with the newly-named Chemical
Imbalance II (the sit down driver he defeated Matt Sydal and Nate Webb with in
previous IWA outings). The two received a standing ovation from the crowd
following the match.

8. SABU def. JC BAILEY & "Spyder" NATE WEBB in a three way dance. Bailey and
Webb had been scheduled to compete on the card in a Texas Death Match, but IWA
officials learned of Webb suffering an injury to his ribs during training
just two days prior to the show, and made the decision that Webb would not be
permitted to put himself at dangerous risk by having to participate in a
grueling
Texas Death Match when he's already hurt. After Bailey made his entrance, he
grabbed the microphone and went off about how the IWA is just protecting Nate
Webb, and he's just scared to face him again, which brought Webb out to the
ring. Nate entered in his wrestling gear, with his ribs taped up, asking to have
the match with Bailey. DAVE PRAZAK informed Webb that IWA management had
already booked a suitable replacement to face Bailey in his place, and the
company
can't put him at risk of serious injury. After more bickering between Webb
and Bailey, both men finally asked who this supposed "suitable replacement" is
that's standing in the way of them having their match, and said they'd be
willing to wrestle that guy too, if that's what it takes. Sabu then made his
entrance, and the match was on, held under a one pinfall format. After Webb hit
Bailey with the Fang (moonsault van terminator), Sabu pitched Webb out of the
ring, and followed up by giving Bailey a triple jump moonsault to score the
victory. After the match, Webb put over Sabu on the microphone, and assured
Bailey
that on 3/6 in Highland, he will get him one on one in the Texas Death Match.

9. DANNY DANIELS (w/ Jim Fannin) def. "The New Age Punisher" B-BOY following
a tombstone piledriver. Daniels, in his first match back following surgery on
his ear, wrestled wearing headgear. Daniels successfully avoided B-Boy's
Facelift dropkick in the corner for the duration of the bout. As B-Boy went to
give
Daniels a shining wizard, Daniels pulled referee ART MENDEZ in B-Boy's path,
knocking Mendez out of commisison. This allowed RYAN BOZ to hit the ring and
attack B-Boy, just before second referee MICKIE KNUCKLES slid in the ring to
make a count, but B-Boy was able to kick out at two. Moments later, Mickie was
struck with a Daniels dropkick and was down, which allowed for ARIK CANNON to
hit the ring, and surprisingly deliver the Glimmering Warlock to Daniels,
rather than B-Boy (who he has to wrestle on Saturday night in Salem). Cannon's
interference wasn't enough to earn B-Boy the victory, however, as Daniels was
able
to hit the tombstone piledriver and score the pin.

10. BALLS MAHONEY & IAN ROTTEN & MAD MAN PONDO & "Metalhead" STEVE STONE def.
BRAD BRADLEY & RYAN BOZ & JIM FANNIN & CARMINE DeSPIRITO in a Texas tornado
style eight man tag team match with the ring ropes wrapped in barbed wire.
Fannin's men all came to the ring dressed in classic street fight gear. The
match
was a wild brawl which went all over the Lincoln Center. DeSpirito brought a
fork into the match as a weapon, which wound up being utilized by a variety of
those involved before all was said and done. Ultimately it was Pondo nailing
Fannin with his stop sign, Mahoney giving Fannin the Nutcracker Suite, Rotten
giving Fannin the Rotten Rush, and finally Stone giving Fannin the Stonesault
which led to Fannin being pinned. Post-match, Fannin also took a brutal
chairshot to the head from Balls. As the show came to a close, Ian Rotten
thanked the
fans for supporting IWA in Highland, and assured them that a lot is planned
for future events at the venue.

NOTES: The event was filmed with two cameras by Smart Mark Video for home
video release, with commentary by Dave Prazak, Eddie Kingston, and Arik
Cannon...
Attendance was 244, and the largest crowd thus far at the Lincoln Center...
In addition to Jerry Lynn vs. Danny Daniels, Nate Webb vs. JC Bailey in a Texas
Death Match, and Trik Davis vs. Cash Flo for the 3/6 event in Highland, it
was also announced that IWA, continuing in its effort to restore dignity and
athleticism to womens wrestling in the United States, will be holding a unique
six way elimination match. Tag rules will apply, as only two women will be in
the ring at a time, with one on each corner. Eliminations will occur until only
one wrestler is left standing victorious. Participating in the match will be
Daizee Haze, Rain, Mickie Knuckles, ODB, Lacey, and MsChif. 3/6 will also be an
independent wrestling double header, as IWA teams up with Revolution
Championship Wrestling to present fans in the region with two shows in one day.
RCW's
will be at 1pm in LaSalle, IL, while IWA's will be at 7:30pm in Highland. It
was announced that RCW's Vito & Sal Thomaselli will make their IWA debuts on
that evening. Additionally, Japan has claimed another from IWA's event that day,
as Homicide has been added to a Zero-One tour. Both he and Bryan Danielson
look forward to IWA competition as soon as their schedules permit.

IWA Mid-South returns to the National Guard Armory (located at 1100 N. Shelby
St.) in Salem, Indiana tonight, Saturday, February 14th. This event is titled
"Broken Hearted." Bell time is 7:30pm. Tickets are $10 & $8 and will be
