--by Stacy McMackin, Moderator--


IWA Mid-South Wrestling returns to action with a double shot of events this
Friday & Sautrday, July 1st & 2nd.

Tonight, Saturday, 7/1, we return to the National Guard Armory (1100 N.
Shelby Street) in Salem, IN. Bell time is 8pm (Salem is on Central time).
Tickets
are $20 & $15, and will be available at the door.

card!

Then Saturday night, 7/2, we're back at the National Guard Armory (1502
Linwood Avenue) in Valparaiso, IN for "No Blood, No Guts, No Glory 2005." Bell
time
is 7:30pm (Valpo is on Central time). All tickets are $20, and will be
available at the door. Doors will open promptly at 7pm. With the double ring
setup
for the event, seating will be more limited than usual due to space. If you are
purchasing tickets at the door, we advise you to show up early.

The main event on Saturday night features the big three team War Games style
match for control of IWA Mid-South Wrestling. The teams represent Ian Rotten,
Jim Fannin's Family, and Ed Chuman's NWA faction. A new member of each team
will be sent into the match at time intervals. Once all fifteen are in the cage,
The Match Beyond begins, where the only way to eliminate a team is to make a
member of the team submit. It will be elimination style until one team is left
standing.

***Main Event/Double Ring/Double Cage/Three Team War Games***
IAN ROTTEN & AXL ROTTEN & CHRIS HERO & BRANDON THOMASELLI & BULL PAIN vs. BJ
WHITMER & EDDIE KINGSTON & JC BAILEY & STEVE STONE & JOHNNY CANDIDO vs. ERIC
PRIEST & CHANDLER McCLURE & VITO THOMASELLI & SAL THOMASELLI & TANK

***Series Tie Breaker/60 Minute Time Limit***
CM PUNK vs. DELIRIOUS

Plus many more of your IWA-MS favorites on the card!

NOTES: Smart Mark Video will be in to film both events for VHS and DVD
release. A special four camera setup will be in effect for the War Games
match...
This weekend's events will be CM Punk's final two IWA-MS appearances... Roughly
200 tickets are already sold for the Valparaiso event. Capacity will be around
300 for the show, given the double ring setup.
