It's been over three and a half years, but on Thursday night,
October 13th, the IWA Mid-South makes its return to Jim Fannin's
hometown of Morris, Illinois with a 7:30 pm belltime. The last time
IWA Mid-South came to Morris, we set an attendance record with over
a foot of snow on the ground. This time around, we hope to see that
record shattered.
This show will take place at the Shabbona Middle School at 725
School St. in the big gymnasium. Ticket prices will be $25 for the
first two rows, $20 for the third through fifth rows and $15
bleacher seating.
A percentage of the ticket sales will go to the Morris Grade School
District #54 and a percentage of the ticket sales will go to the
Morris Redskin Football team via the Quarterback Club.
Matches already announced:
***THE LONG AWAITED REMATCH***
SAMOA JOE vs CHRIS HERO - The last time these two crossed paths in
an IWA Mid-South ring, they blew the roof straight off the Lincoln
Center with booming "LET'S GO JOE, LET'S GO HERO!" chants. What's
gonna happen when these two hook up with atleast 4 times that many
fans watching? Last year, the crowd was split, but with Chris
Hero's recent change in attitude displayed at the TPI this year,
anything is bound to happen.
***LUMBERJACK STRAP MATCH - IWA MS HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE***
JIMMY JACOBS (c) vs. "CLASSIC" COLT CABANA - Tomfoolery and
shenanigans seem to be the theme of Jimmy Jacobs' six month title
reign. Colt Cabana was the victim of Jimmy's shady tactics on night
1 of this year's Ted Petty Invitational. But after the match,
Cabana promised to bring integrity back to the belt. Ian Rotten
made the rematch on the following night, but this time the ring is
going to be surrounded by a handful of wrestlers, wielding leather
straps! Jimmy Jacobs has nowhere to run Thursday, October 13th in
Morris.
***IWA MID-SOUTH TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH***
IRON SAINTS (c) vs. THE BLACK & THE BRAVE vs. 21 & IRRESPONSIBLE -
Vito and Sal Thomaselli will put the IWA Mid-South tag team titles
on the line in this three way dance against rookie sensations Marek
Brave and Tyler Black and the team of Brandon Thomaselli and Josh
Abercrombie. Everyone knows the heated rivalry between the
Thomaselli brothers and Sal and Tyler had a great match last week at
the Ted Petty Invitational that show lots of interference by Vito.
This will be a chance for lots of grudges to be ended in one night.
***TAG TEAM GRUDGE MATCH***
BILLY GUNN/TRIK DAVIS vs TEAM UNDERGROUND ("The Underwear Model"
Eric Priest/Chandler McClure) - Now that Trik Davis can no longer
team with Ryan Boz, he's gone and found a new tag team
partner...former WWE and current TNA superstar BILLY GUNN! Gunn has
issues with Priest stemming from previous appearances in IWA Mid-
South, and he can't wait to get his hands on "The Underwear Model."
***SPECIAL ATTRACTION***
"ANARCHIST" ARIK CANNON vs "DOUBLE C" CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI - This will
be technical wrestling at its best. In other promotions, they've
been tag-team partners. But will Arik Cannon be at 100% after the
vicious attack on him from Chris Hero at the TPI? Is it even safe
having those two in the same building, let alone the same town?
***ONE DEBUT, ONE RETURN***
JUSTIN CREDIBLE vs EDDIE KINGSTON - Making his IWA Mid-South debut,
Justin Credible faces off against a returning Eddie Kingston, two
days before he and a partner to be announced meet the Iron Saints
for the tag titles! What will happen when two of the biggest mouths
in professional wrestling collide?
...plus more to be announced. So come on out on Thursday night,
October 13th to the Shabbona Middle School at 725 School St. in the
big gymnasium and support the schools. Tickets are moving fast, so
contact Patti at RottenWife@... or get your tickets through the
local fundraiser...also since we are in a school and children will
be present, we ask that you all keep it clean. Example: instead
of "F*CK YOU HERO," let's go with "YOU'RE NOT MY HERO."
