--by Stacy McMackin, Moderator--


- JIMMY JACOBS WINS IWA WORLD TITLE AT BLOODSHOWERS!!
- MsCHIF/MICKIE STEEL CAGE MATCH SIGNED FOR 4/30!!
- SPRING HEAT & STB6 THIS COMING WEEKEND!!

IWA Mid-South Wrestling presented its debut event, "April Bloodshowers 2005,"
at the Civic Center in Herrin, IL on Friday night, April 1st. Here's what
went down...

1. TRIK DAVIS wrestled "Anarchist" ARIK CANNON to a time limit draw.

2. DAIZEE HAZE def. RAIN with the heart punch/Yakuza kick combo to retain the
NWA Midwest/IWA Mid-South Women's Title.

3. "The Iron Saints" VITO & SAL THOMASELLI def. ERIC PRIEST & SILAS YOUNG and
TJ DALTON & LONESTAR after the Thomasellis hit the pendulum/double stomp on
Dalton.

4. DELIRIOUS def. JOSH ABERCROMBIE following the Chemical Imbalance 2 to
retain the IWA Light Heavyweight Title.

5. "Outlaw" BILLY GUNN def. TRACY SMOTHERS following the Fame-Asser. Smothers
had Rain in his corner for the evening as his manager.

6. MsCHIF def. MICKIE KNUCKLES in a First Blood Match after busting Mickie
open with her spiked vest. The two brawled all around the Civic Center, and into
the lobby and concession stand. After the match, Mickie challenged MsChif to
a return match on 4/30 in Herrin, in a steel cage.

7. NWA Midwest X Division Champion MATT SYDAL wrestled NWA Indiana State
Champion BRANDON THOMASELLI to a double pin in their title vs. title bout. The
double pin occurred as Brandon gave Sydal an O'Connor roll, and bridged back for
additional leverage on the cover, as the referee counted both men's shoulders
down.

8. IAN ROTTEN def. JC BAILEY after throwing a fireball in his face, in a
Ropes Wrapped in Barbed Wire/Tables Match.

9. JIMMY JACOBS def. DANNY DANIELS to win the IWA World Heavyweight Title.
Jacobs couldn't pin Daniels following the Contra Code or two back sentons off
the top rope. Finally he hit a third back senton off the top, and covered
Daniels with his feet on the ropes for leverage to win the match and the title
in
just under 30 minutes.

NOTES: The event was filmed for home video release from a ringside camera
angle, and will feature commentary by Dave Prazak... Attendance was just under
200, and was the company's highest attended event for a debut show in a new
venue in history. We return to Herrin on 4/30.

IWA Mid-South Wrestling returned to the National Guard Armory in Salem, IN on
Saturday night, April 2nd for "Payback, Pain & Agony II." Here's what went
down...

1. DAIZEE HAZE def. RAIN following a modified version of the Daizee Cutter to
retain the NWA Midwest/IWA Mid-South Women's Title.

2. SAL THOMASELLI def. TRIK DAVIS following a butterfly brainbuster off the
top rope.

3. TJ DALTON def. CJ OTIS & RYAN ASH in a three-way matchup.

4. DANNY DANIELS def. "Wild Eyed Southern Boy" TRACY SMOTHERS while holding
the ropes for leverage. Before the match, Daniels told the fans of Salem that
he's never liked hillbillies like them, and he only appreciates the fans in the
Chicago area. Smothers, who came out with Rain for the second night in a row,
fired her as his valet for not helping him win in Herrin. As she went back to
the locker room, Daniels stopped her, and asked for her managerial services
against Tracy.

5. "Anarchist" ARIK CANNON def. JC BAILEY following the Glimmering Warlock to
earn his first IWA-MS victory since returning from his collarbone injury.

6. DELIRIOUS def. VITO THOMASELLI after the Chemical Imbalance 2 to retain
the IWA Light Heavyweight Title.

7. "The All-Stars" CHANDLER McCLURE & BRYCE BENJAMIN def. IAN ROTTEN & MICKIE
KNUCKLES in an intergender tag team contest after a double team maneuver on
Mickie. Jim Fannin was in the corner of the All-Stars for the match, and aided
in their victory, ramming Ian into the ring post.

8. "Outlaw" BILLY GUNN def. "Underwear Model" ERIC PRIEST following the
Fame-Asser in the main event of the evening.

NOTES: The event was filmed by IWA for home video release, with commentary by
Dave Prazak, Jim Fannin, Trik Davis, and Tracy Smothers... Attendance was the
highest for an event in Salem since the 2003 Ted Petty Invitational... IWA-MS
returns to Salem on 5/20.
