IWA Mid-South will return to action in Midlothian, Illinois on Friday
night February 23rd. Here is all your information for this event:

Friday Night February 23rd - 8 PM BELLTIME
Don Preston Recreation Center
14500 Kostner Avenue
Midlothian, IL 60445
Ticket prices: $20 front row, $15 second row, $10 GA

IWA Mid-South World Title Rematch
Special Guest Referee - WWE HOFer "Sensational" Sherri Martel
Chuck Taylor (champ) vs. LOW KI - This is a rematch stemming from the
disqualification that saved Chuck Taylor from losing his title at the
last Midlothian show. Low Ki has demanded a rematch and this time
there is a special enforcer referee. Multiple time former Women's
World Champion and Hall of Famer "Sensational" Sherri Martel. Sherri
was one of the toughest women to ever lace up a pair of wrestling
boots and paved the way for women like Mickie Knuckles to be a
dominant force in the business. The best part of her being the ref for
this match..."she doesn't have any balls to kick" if Chuck gets
desperate and wants to find a cheap way out to save his title!

Grudge Match
Mickie Knuckles vs. "King of Old School" Steve Corino - Steve Corino
talked a lot of smack the last time he was in Midlothian and many of
the unkind words were directed towards Mickie. She begged Ian for the
match and Ian finally relented and signed the match. Can Mickie show
Corino that she can wrestle with any of the boys after she's proven
that she can fight with all the boys or will the King of Old School be
too much for the Queen of the Death Matches to overtake?

Tag Tournament Qualifying Match
Ricky Reyes & Joker vs. Josh Abercrombie & Brandon Thomaselli - The
winner of this big tag match will be entered into the IWA Mid-South
Tag Team Title tournament at the end of May. Josh and Brandon have
teamed many times in the past in IWA and they will have their hands
full in this contest.

No Holds Barred
Drake Younger vs. C.J. Otis - These on again off again tag team
partners have beat the hell out of each other the past several months
as CJ has gained an attitude problem and an ego. Drake just won the
IWA Death Match championship but with the beatings suffered in that
match let alone the grueling encounter the same night against Low Ki,
will he be in any condition to go toe to toe with the man trained by
Dan Severn?

Tag Team Grudge Match - Texas Tornado Rules
The Iron Saints vs. North Star Express - These two teams just do not
get along. The Saints beat the NSE last time but it was the NSE that
got the last laugh when they duct taped the Saints (a patented move of
the Saints) and issued a beatdown after the match. They tried the same
thing against Ian and Mickie but it was the Saints making a surprising
save and running off the NSE. This time it will be all 4 men fighting
at the same time to try to settle the difference and give one team a
decided advantage heading into the upcoming tag title tournament.

Light Heavyweight Action
Ricochet vs. PWU Champion Devon Moore

event.
****************************************************************
People are wondering why we would be announcing matches so far in
advance for the return date to Philadelphia. We are planning on having
a huge expensive show that night and we want everyone to know well in
advance so that they can make their plans to attend this event.
Tickets go on sale in a week and we want people to know a few things
about who is on the show so that they can decide to get their tickets
right away.

A second match has just been signed for this event:

Drake Younger vs. Hotstuff Hernandez

The main event for Saturday night June 30th in Philadelphia at the ECW
Arena has been officially signed and agreed upon by all parties and is
ready to be announced.

We wanted to have a matchup that would be every bit as intriguing as
the first ECW Arena show's Samoa Joe vs. Necro Butcher was and we
think we have come up with one that may even top that.

Huge Tag Team Warfare

TOUGH CRAZY BASTARDS (Necro Butcher & Toby Klein)
vs.
LOW KI & HOMICIDE

This show will be a night time show and only an IWA Mid-South show. It
will not be a doubleheader or co promoted with another company. I hope
that clears up some of the questions that have been asked the past
week or so.

the Old School IWA guys are going to stomp the new guys. Tracy can't
make it so he called Mitch Rider to take his place against Billy Roc.

Mitch Rider stomps down on Billy Roc and gets the microphone and
continues stomping Billy Roc while talking and calls out another
"greenhorn" and the music for "Hype" Jimmy Shalwin starts. "Hype" is
happy cause "tonight I'm going to kick your (Rider's) ass"

Jimmy Jacobs kept yelling at Jim Fannin who was doing commentary
during the match. Colt Cabana hit a suplex and went for a cover but
Fannin went to ringside and demanded that to get the bounty he had to
cripple Jacobs. Colt started working the neck with neckbreakers and
piledrivers and Fannin kept demanding more. Jacobs executed a
backslide for the pin and then ducked an attempted clothesline from
Fannin on his way to the dressing room.

Brandon Thomaselli and Tarek the Great are in the ring. Brandon in a
singlet and headgear (says he has an earache) ala high school
