IWA Mid-South Wrestling, in association with NWA Midwest, returned to the National Guard Armory in New Albany, IN on Thursday night, 10/7. Here's what went down...
1. RYAN BOZ def. PROPHET.
2. DANNY DANIELS def. TRUTH MARTINI.
3. RYUJI ITO def. JC BAILEY.
4. MAD MAN PONDO def. ZACH GOWEN.
5. DELIRIOUS def. "Double C" CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI & BRANDON THOMASELLI.
6. DAISUKE SEKIMOTO def. "Spyder" NATE WEBB.
7. NIGEL McGUINNESS def. CHRIS HERO.
Live Notes: The event was filmed for home video release by IWA-MS, with commentary by Dave Prazak and Jim Fannin... Ian Rotten pulled out of his scheduled match against Zach Gowen due to injuries suffered this past Tuesday on the IWA East Coast event in Nitro, WV. Mad Man Pondo took Ian's place against Gowen... Nate Webb sustained a concussion on a tumbleweed dive to the floor during his match against Sekimoto. He intends on fulfilling his other bookings this week despite the injury... The seven NWA Wildside representatives being sent for the IWA Mid-South/NWA Wildside Challenge on 10/28 in New Albany are Todd Sexton, Tank, Salvatore Rinauro, Vito Thomaselli, Sal Thomaselli, Iceberg, and Seth DeLay. Following an impressive debut match against Delirious and Claudio Castagnoli, Ian invited Brandon Thomaselli to compete on the IWA side on 10/28, but against his brother Vito. Brandon accepted... Nigel McGuinness worked over the arm of Chris Hero for the majority of the main event, which saw both men brawl around the building to start things off before breaking into a more scientific contest inside the ring moments later. Nigel pinned Hero with a backslide, and his feet on the ropes for leverage... Jim Fannin came to the ring after intermission with a contract in his hand, representing "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson in issuing a challenge to Ian Rotten for a match on the 10/28 card. Rotten refused, as Danielson does not wrestle for Wildside, and he has nothing to prove in a match against him. Fannin called Ian a "coward" for not taking the match, even though it was Danielson who attacked Rotten from behind on 9/16 in New Albany. Ian finally got so frustrated with Fannin that he accepted the match, to prove he's not afraid of Danielson.

The IWA-MS event scheduled for this Saturday night, October 9th at the National Guard Armory in Scottsburg, IN has been cancelled due to a combination of factors.
Some of the local advertising that had been planned for the event did not come through, including a key newspaper ad which was placed and wound up not running as scheduled. We had planned on utilizing this particular Scottsburg show as an opportunity to take a look at some new talent, as most of the IWA regulars are wrestling elsewhere on that evening. Rather than take the risk of running the event at a venue that has not been a strong draw in the past, without the necessary local advertising in place, we made the decision to reschedule.
We're looking to run the Scottsburg Armory on Friday, October 29th, the day after the IWA-MS/NWA Wildside Challenge event in New Albany, IN on Thursday, October 28th. As soon as we get confirmation on that date we will make a formal announcement.
IWA-MS returns to action with a quadruple shot of events in two weeks, running every night from Wednesday, October 20th through Saturday, October 23rd.
10/20 Bloomington, IN @ Armory (3800 S. Old State Road 37)
10/21 Evansville, IN @ Armory (3300 Division Street)
10/22 Lafayette, IN @ Armory (5220 East 200 South) "The Revolution 2004"
10/23 Highland, IN @ Lincoln Center (2450 Lincoln Street) "8th Anniversary Show"
Though some of the matches for the quadruple shot have been announced in recent weeks, we will be announcing full lineups for each of the shows, in addition to the match pairings for the 10/28 IWA-MS/NWA Wildside Challenge show at this coming Tuesday night's weekly IWA-MS Chat at the Official IWA Mid-South Yahoo Group, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/iwamidouth/
The video release of Thursday night's show in New Albany, featuring Big Japan's Ryuji Ito and Daisuke Sekimoto, in addition to Chris Hero vs. Nigel McGuinness, will be available at http://www.smartmarkvideo.com/ during the coming week.
