IWA Mid-South News for 05.03.04
--------------------------------------------
by Stacy McMackin, Moderator
Fans, there's lots of news to cover concerning the next few weeks worth of shows, so let's get to it...
IWA Mid-South Wrestling presents a big double shot weekend of events in northern Indiana this weekend, Friday & Saturday, May 7th & 8th.
Please note that a change has been made from the original lineups for the events, as unfortunately The Havana Pitbulls will be unable to appear.
Rocky Romero is competing in Japan at the time of this weekend's events, and as a result, arrangements were made for Pinoy Boy/Puma to team with Ricky Reyes to comprise the often interchangeable HP tag team for the shows. We got word this week that Puma has made the decision to move to Japan himself, and will now not be in the country at the time of the events either. We then looked into using Bobby Quance as Reyes' partner for the events, but purchasing yet another airline ticket, this late in the game, was not financially feasible.
IWA management has made the decision to hold onto the airline tickets for Reyes and Puma to be changed at a future date when both men will be available to appear on an IWA event as a tag team. We apologize for this change, and will make an announcement as to the new opponents for Brad Bradley & Ryan Boz for the 5/8 Highland show as soon as they are determined. Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, who was scheduled to manage the HP team in the match, will still appear at the Highland card.
Let's take a look at the updated lineups for this weekend's shows...
