RESULTS 6/18 HAMMOND, IN @ ARMORY
--------------------------------------------

IWA Mid-South Wrestling, in association with NWA Midwest, returned to the
National Guard Armory in Hammond, IN on Saturday night, 6/18 for "A New
Beginning." Here's what went down...

1. MARK WOLF def. CJ OTIS with the Nevermind DDT in the opening contest.

2. DANNY DANIELS def. TRIK DAVIS following the Rubik's Cube.

3. MICKIE KNUCKLES def. RAIN in a no disqualification match after hitting the
shining Kawada kick to the face.

4. BRAD BRADLEY def. EDDIE VENOM with a lariat.

5. JOSH ABERCROMBIE def. MATT SYDAL in a two out of three falls bout by a
score of two falls to one, to retain the IWA Light Heavyweight Title. Josh
scored
the first fall with a bridge rollup. Sydal evened the match at one fall a
piece following the moonsault belly to belly suplex off the top rope. Josh
scored
the third and deciding fall after hitting the Phoenix splash.

JIM FANNIN came to the ring and announced that the spot originally intended
for CHRIS CANDIDO on his team in War Games on 7/2 would be filled by Chris's
younger brother JOHNNY CANDIDO.

6. "The Underwear Model" ERIC PRIEST def. "The Human Rulebook" CHANDLER
McCLURE in a teacher versus student contest. Before the match, Priest told
McClure
that he wasn't happy with his recent attitude change, and he needs to remember
what he was taught to do. After the match concluded, Priest continued to put
the boots to McClure until TRIK DAVIS made the save. Just as Chandler got back
to his feet, he attacked Davis, and was quickly joined by Priest. RYAN BOZ
then hit the ring to save Trik, and challenged Priest & McClure to an impromptu
tag team match.

7. "The Underwear Model" ERIC PRIEST & "The Human Rulebook" CHANDLER McCLURE
def. TRIK DAVIS & RYAN BOZ after a double team version of the Happy Ending.

8. "The Product" MAREK BRAVE def. "Spyder" NATE WEBB with a shooting star
press. After the match, Brave's trainer DANNY DANIELS and IAN ROTTEN came to the
ring and congratulated him. Ian then invited Brave to participate in the 2005
TPI, and told him he would face ROBBIE BROOKSIDE in the first round.

9. "The Iron Saints" VITO & SAL THOMASELLI def. TYLER BLACK & BRANDON
THOMASELLI to retain the IWA World Tag Team Titles following Californication
(drive-by off the top rope).

10. "Anarchist" ARIK CANNON def. CHAD COLLYER with the Glimmering Warlock
(shining enzugiri).

11. SABU def. IAN ROTTEN in a wild main event brawl with an Arabian
facebuster off the top rope through a table.

commentary by Dave Prazak, Nate Webb, and Mark Wolf... Ian Rotten announced
that Robbie Brookside, Jonny Storm, and James Gibson will participate in the
2005 TPI tournament.

FANNIN FAMILY NEWS AND NOTES
--------------------------------------------
by Jim Fannin

Johnny Candido will take the open spot on Team Fannin as the replacement for
his brother Chris. I put a lot of thought into who should replace Chris and it
became obvious to me that I owed Chris a favor for coming in and helping me
in the war against Ian. He loved his little brother and wanted to see him get a
chance to work in IWA and get some recognition. I think that if anyone can
live up to the emotional strain of replacing Chris that it would be his own
flesh and blood.

Also as first mentioned in Philly and then repeated in Hammond for the fans
benefit there, Jade will be replacing me as manager after War Games. We are on
the Jim Fannin Managerial Farewell Tour and it has two stops left. Look for
Jade to be able to do great things with the BJ Whitmer/Eddie Kingston tag team.

As for War Games, as I mentioned in Philly, someone close to Ian Rotten will
betray him. I was not able to buy the love of Mickie Knuckles but wrestlers
loyalties can be bought rather easily. It was Axl Rotten that was one of the
first to take my offer on the bounty on Ian's head in 2003. Can Ian really trust
Bull Pain after all the fights and wars they had for six years. Maybe Bull is
looking for a way to get revenge. Maybe Chris Hero wants to change his losing
ways in IWA and make it back to the top. Maybe it is someone else that wants
to make sure that they have a job when I take over the company.

Good Day.
