IWA Mid-South debuted in Shelbyville, IN at Southwestern High School
on Saturday night with a historic event. Attendance was 356 paid. This
special fundraiser included the IWA debuts of two legends in the
wrestling business in DEMOLITION AX and the HONKY TONK MAN - but the
big news coming out of this event is that a NEW champion was crowned!
Onto the results...

1.) VORTEKZ def. "DIEHARD" DUSTIN LEE, RICOCHET, xOMGx, & JACK
THRILLER in a wild light-heavyweight opener. Bodies were flying
everywhere in absolutely no time. In the end, Vortekz managed to gain
a win, pinning xOMGx after a flipping belly-to-belly suplex from the
top rope on Ricochet with both men using xOMGx as a landing pad.

2.) Special Midget Match - T.O. def. PUPPET in an exciting contest
with a front-flip senton off the top rope. Both meant business and put
on a great wrestling match.

3.) IWA Mid-South Women's Title - MICKIE KNUCKLES def. CHRISTIE
SUMMERS with the Shining Kawada kick. Summers was quite impressive,
sustaining a snap-suplex on the hardwood gym floor and a vicious B-Boy
Dropkick in the corner. Summers held her own but Mickie Knuckles
proved to be too dominating.

4.) THE IRON SAINTS (VITO & SAL THOMASELLI) def. BILLY ROC & TONY
KOZINA with a reverse Kalifornication (with Vito coming off the top
rope, who has had issues with Kozina in other organizations.) Kozina
was impressive in his IWA Mid-South debut & worked well as a team with
Billy Roc. With Brandon Thomaselli lurking at ringside, "IWA's
Welcoming Committee," Vito and Sal, proved to be the better team tonight.

5.) DEMOLITION AX def. TANK in a hard-hitting and entertaining bout.
Throughout the match, Tank pulled a foreign object from his pants and
assaulted Ax's ribs and back. In the end, Tank was caught by the
referee and Demolition Ax pulled a foreign object of his own, knocked
the Stong Style Psycho silly, and picked up the win.

6.) TLC Match for the IWA World Light-Heavyweight Title - BRANDON
THOMASELLI def. JOSH ABERCROMBIE, ending his near 15 month title reign
(only short by one week.) This was a brutal match that is a MUST SEE.
As soon as Josh Abercrombie hit the ring, he went right at Thomaselli
before the opening announcements. Tables, ladders, and chairs were
totally legal in this match. A total of three tables were used; the
final one ending Abercrombie's reign, as Brandon gave Josh the AIR
RAID CRASH from the TOP OF A LADDER, THROUGH A TABLE and pinned him in
the middle of the ring. Brandon's brothers, Vito and Sal, grabbed the
belt and presented it to him in the ring. They proceeded to lay a beat
down to Josh, adding insult to injury. The new IWA World
Light-Heavyweight Champion, Brandon Thomaselli, walked in on
commentary on several occasions the rest of the evening, claiming a
big celebration later that night.

7.) CJ OTIS def. "SPYDER" NATE WEBB in an exciting match-up with the
Burning Hammer. Nate had his trademark entrance, going all over the
large Southwestern gymnasium. Webb took CJ Otis to the outside and
held Otis as he had about half of the front row chop him across the chest.

8.) "THE DAMAJA" DANNY BASHAM vs. IAN ROTTEN went to a double
count-out as both men brawled all over the bleachers, throughout the
crowd. Before the match, Ian talked about how Basham used to work for
a rival company in Louisville and how that company used to give him a
lot of headaches. Ian said despite all that, he respected him and that
he would like a pure wrestling match. That, however, ended rather
quickly when both men spilled to the outside, throwing forearms and
chops. They fought all the way up into the bleachers and Basham gave
Rotten a nasty vertical suplex, up around the 20th row. They continued
to brawl, even after the referee had thrown the match out.

9.) HONKY TONK MAN def. "MARVELOUS" MITCH RYDER w/ JIM FANNIN after
the Honky Tonk Man clocked Mitch over the head with a guitar, as Jim
Fannin inadvertantly distracted the referee. Honky sang his trademark
song before the match, and even had an encore. Friday, Mitch Ryder
invaded the afternoon announcements of Southwestern High School.
Saturday night, the Honky Tonk Man was accompanied to the ring by
Southwestern High School teacher Mr. O'Malley. Jim Fannin got on the
microphone and berated Honky and the teacher, whom Jim Fannin referred
to as "Mr. Feeney."

10.) IWA Mid-South World Champion CHUCK TAYLOR successfully defended
against IWA Mid-South Death Match Champion DRAKE YOUNGER in a great
main event after connecting with the Omega Driver. CJ Otis was on
commentary, talking about his upcoming Barb Wire Warfare Match with
Drake Younger on 4/28. Otis was actually pulling for Drake, hoping
that it could make their match not only for the IWA Mid-South Death
Match Title, but also for the IWA Mid-South World Championship.
Throughout the match, Chuck Taylor taunted the crowd, eventually
sending the kids into a frenzy. Drake Younger almost became World
Champion but came up just short. After the match, a group of
elementary school children surrounded the ring, preventing Chuck
Taylor from leaving, who claimed to be the "King of Elementary School
Kids." Taylor required a slight security escort to exit.

This DVD will be available on SmartMarkVideo.com soon.
