Street) in Hammond, IN. Bell time is 7:30pm. Tickets are $25, $20, and $15, and
will be available at the door.

IWA-MS stars in action!


IWA-MS returns to the Park District Rec Center in Midlothian, IL on 7/15, the
Armory in Salem, IN on 7/16, and the Civic Center in Herrin, IL on 7/29.

We return to the New Alhambra Sports & Entertainment Complex (the former ECW
Arena) in Philadelphia, PA on Saturday night, September 3rd!

The forthcoming Smart Mark Video DVD of "No Blood, No Guts, No Glory 2005,"
in addition to featuring the entire event (including the double ring, double
cage, three team War Games match, Punk vs. Delirious, and everything else), will
also feature locker room promos, as well as a special segment recapping CM
Punk's most memorable moments in IWA-MS. The War Games match was shot with a
special four camera setup, and will be a more intricate editing job than usual,
which will require more production time on this release than usual. This three
disc set will be well worth the wait!


Two more wrestlers have been added to "The 2005 Ted Petty Invitational
Tournament," to take place on 9/23 & 9/24 at the Armory in Hammond, IN. They are
former IWA World Champion ARIK CANNON and former IWA Light Heavyweight Champion
DELIRIOUS. Tickets for the TPI are currently on sale at all live IWA-MS events,
or via mail order (e-mail Patti at RottenWife@... for mail order
information).
