We have talked to one of Sherri's best friends about helping out the
family. She will be coming to the show in Joliet. She is heading down
to be with Sherri's family and we figured this way they will get the
money quickly.

We are going to be having raffles tomorrow night in Joliet to try to
raise as much money as we can.

Some of you may remember that Sherri couldn't be at the "Rule the
School" show. Her husband had lost his job in Florida and they had to
move back to Alabama .

I'm not sure what all we have as far as raffles, but please bring
what you can spare. We will also take donations if you just want to
do that. thanks,Patti
**********************************************************************
I can not express the pain in my heart right now. I was 23 years old
and in ECW when I met Sherri. Later on, when axl and I were doing
Funk's "Few Good Men", I got to work with Sherri and learned from
her. I came to realize what a incredilbe talent this woman was . We
became friends and when I started IWA, I brought Sherri in to manage
me and also to feud with Debbie Combs in what turned out to be a
competition between the two to see who would "out work"` the other.
These matches were some of the best brawls ever in IWA (men or
women). We should all be greatful for women like Sherri who paved the
way for girls in the wrestling business. As a matter of fact, I
patterned the way I trained Mickie after Sherri and I'm so glad they
got to meet. I have always said Sherri was the best U.S. Women's
wrestler ever. She did not take shit off of any one (well, except
Miss Moolah, and that was funny stuff in its own part.) When Chris
Candido passed away, they said Heaven needed a champion, well heaven
now has it's queen. Long live the queen, in our hearts and memories.
We will miss her. Please remember her family in your prayers through
this rough time.

IWA Mid-South will be reopening the wrestling school as we have found
a perfect building in Louisville, Kentucky to have the school. The
building will be ready for business by July.

The building will not be big enough to hold shows so it will just be
the wrestling school and offices. WE WILL NOT BE DOING SHOWS IN
KENTUCKY so don't get your hopes up if you live in the Louisville
area.

If you want information on the wrestling school and want to be in the
first class when the school opens, email Ian at ianrotten420@...
or Patti at rottenwife@... to get all the information on the
wrestling school.
