IWA Mid-South News for 02.20.04
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
by Stacy McMackin, Moderator

--"ROAD DOGG" BG JAMES RETURNS TO IWA TOMORROW NIGHT!!
--BAILEY TO BATTLE ROTTEN IN NO-ROPE BARBED WIRE MATCH!!
--THE HUSS MAN TO TAKE ON THE ANARCHIST!!

This Saturday night, February 21st, IWA Mid-South Wrestling returns to the
Community Center Gym (located at 235 Hoosier Ave.) in Oolitic, IN. Bell time is
7:30pm. Tickets are $12 and $8 and will be available at the door. Ringside
seats can also be reserved in advance by leaving a message on the IWA hotline at
502-569-1701 with your name and how many tickets you'd like reserved.

Saturday's event will feature the return to IWA competition of former WWF
Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion, and current member of NWA-TNA's 3 Live
Kru, "Road Dogg" B.G. James! He will be taking on Jim Fannin's selection, the
powerful former IWA World Heavyweight Champion Cash Flo.

This past Saturday in Salem, Ian Rotten announced that JC Bailey would square
off in Oolitic against Mad Man Pondo in a No-Rope Barbed Wire Match, but
unfortunately Pondo had to pull himself from the event to tend to family
matters.
As a result, Ian has made the decision to take Pondo's place in the bout,
which continues the ongoing Oolitic rivalry between Bailey and Rotten, this time
with the ring ropes replaced with razor sharp barbed wire. These two men
battled to a 43 minute steel cage draw back in November, and fought in a
grueling "I
Quit" Match during the month of January, which saw Bailey make Rotten give
up. As the tension grows between teacher and student, this Saturday night will
add another violent chapter to their series.

On the heels of main eventing his first IWA Mid-South event this past
Saturday in Salem against B-Boy, the "Anarchist" Arik Cannon steps into the ring
against the "Barbaric Berzerker" Jimmy Jacobs in Oolitic. Jacobs will be
accompanied to the ring by his manager Becky Bayless.

The 2002 Ted Petty Invitational and 2003 Revolution Strong Style winner BJ
Whitmer will be in action against the "Metalhead" Steve Stone, in what promises
to be a hard hitting matchup.

Here's a look at the card thus far for Satuirday in Oolitic...

RESULTS 2/14 SALEM, INDIANA @ ARMORY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IWA Mid-South Wrestling presented "Broken Hearted" on Saturday night,
Feburary 14th at the National Guard Armory in Salem, Indiana. Here's what went
down...

1. "The Tremendous" EMIL SITOCI def. "Black" JACK MARCIANO (w/ Eddie
Kingston) following Tremendosity.

2. RYAN BOZ (w/ Jim Fannin) def. TRIK DAVIS. Davis came to the ring and
called out Fannin, asking for a match that night against CASH FLO. Fannin came
to
the ring and told Davis that Cash was not in the building, but he'll be in
Highland on 3/6 to wrestle him. Fannin then told Davis that one of his men would
be more than happy to wrestle him, and brought out Ryan Boz for the match.

3. "Barbaric Berzerker" JIMMY JACOBS def. AUSTIN ARIES following a running
Berzerker boot to the face.

4. "Metalhead" STEVE STONE def. "King of Diamonds" EDDIE KINGSTON (w/ "Black"
Jack Marciano) after the Stonesault.

5. IAN ROTTEN def. ADAM FLASH following the Rotten Rush.

6. JC BAILEY def. CORPORAL ROBINSON after nailing Corp with a pair of brass
knuckles as Robinson was attempting a Boot Camp off the second rope. After the
match, IAN ROTTEN confronted JC about his tactics and attitude, and informed
him of matches that he has in store for him. Among them, Rotten announced that
on 4/9 in Oolitic at "April Bloodshowers 2004," Bailey and a partner of his
choice will battle Corp and a healed WIFEBEATER in a Fans Bring The Weapons
encounter.

7. "The New Age Punisher" B-BOY def. "Anarchist" ARIK CANNON in the main
event of the evening, following two shining wizards, the second of which was
with
the kneepad pulled down for more impact on the maneuver.

The event was filmed with two cameras by Smart Mark Video for home video
release, with commentary by Dave Prazak, Eddie Kingston, and Mickie Knuckles.
