Ticket prices - $20 & $15 - plus $5 off if you have a ticket stub

Bad Blood Rising
Joliet Street Fight - Taped Fist Match
Ian Rotten vs. Freak Show
This will be Ian Rotten's in ring return to action in IWA. I don't
think anything needs to be said about how brutal this contest will be
as Ian gets his hands on Freak Show after Freak Show almost blinded
him for life and took away his ability to make a living and feed his
family. This will be the first of a triple main event of death
matches featuring IWA Mid-South vs. IWA Deep South.
IWA Death Match Title - Fans Bring The Weapons
Corporal Robinson vs. Tank
Corporal learned first hand at the KOTDM how the Deep South guys like
to fight...underhanded and dirty. Well Corporal wants to introduce
Tank as to how a former Marine and IWA Mid-South original likes to
fight...bar room brawl with fans supplying the weapons. Can Corporal
continue the momentum from his KOTDM tournament win by toppling the
bigger Tank or will Tank get some cheap help from his Deep South
brethren and steal a championship from IWA Mid-South?
Barbed Wire Warfare - Boards, Bats & Tables
Drake Younger vs. Insane Lane
Drake is the former IWA Mid-South Death Match Champion and
undoubtedably the future franchise of the IWA Mid-South. He has
fought tooth and nail with the Deep South guys by Ian Rotten's side
and he is looking to bring the war to an end in Joliet!
Those three matches will be the last three matches on the card so if
you are not a fan of the hardcore extreme wrestling or have a weak
stomach, you can still enjoy the rest of the show and just leave
before the hardcore mayhem begins.
Also on the card:
IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title Match
Champion - Chuck Taylor vs. B.J. Whitmer
Chuck is closely approaching the longest IWA Heavyweight title reign
in history. Standing in his way is a man that is a multiple time
former heavyweight champion, TPI champion and Strong Style Tournament
champion - B.J. Whitmer. Can Chuck survive this tough challenge? Is
BJ Whitmer being brought in by Jim Fannin to go after Chuck Taylor?
BJ has been associated with Jim off and on since 2001 and Fannin has
let the world know that he will be sending someone after Chuck Taylor
to end his reign.
More will be announced for this event in the coming days. Stay tuned
to the message board for more details.
You can purchase tickets in advance by going to www.paypal.com and
sending your payment to rottenwife@....
See you in Joliet.
****************************************
IWA made its start in the Louisville, Kentucky area and it has been
almost 3 years since we have been able to do a show for our diehard
faithful IWA original fans in that area. They have begged us for a
return to the area and thanks to a great fan that had an opportunity
for us, we will be making our long awaited return to the old home of
IWA Mid-South.
Sunday Afternoon July 22nd, 2007 - 3 pm belltime

of IWA!!!!
Gory Days 3 - A Family Reunion
Already signed for this huge event...in a renewal of one of the
bloodiest feuds in IWA Mid-South history:
Dog Collar Match - "Marvelous" Mitch Ryder vs. Mark Wolf
These two men beat the hell out of each other in Charlestown and
Clarksville back in 2000-2003 in one of the longest most brutal feuds
in IWA history and their bloodiest battle came in a dog collar match.
These two men still harbor bad blood for each other to this day as
shown by Mitch Ryder making his return to IWA after a long stint in
prison to attack Mark Wolf at the 10th Anniversary show in Harvey, IL
and then the match they had the next night in Midlothian almost a
year ago. These two have waiting since October to get their hands on
each other again in an IWA ring to try to settle a score that is
still tied in each man's eye. This will be a gory family reunion if
there ever was one.
Also on the card...former Super Hero partners will collide:
Chris Hero vs. BJ Whitmer
These two are two of the biggest names of Charlestown/Clarksville era
IWA stemming from their multiple IWA World Heavyweight title reigns
and each man winning a TPI/Sweet Science and a Strong Style
Tournament championship. They started off as partners in the Super
Heroes group with Rugby Thug, CM Punk and Ace Steel but they will not
be partners at Gory Days 3. Who will get the upper hand in this
battle between two of the former "franchises" of IWA???
Stipulations to be determined:
Mad Man Pondo & Too Tuff Tony vs. Tank & Insane Lane
Pondo & Tony want to introduce the deep south guys to the brand of
justice common in old school IWA Mid-South. The old tshirt said "WE
ARE FAMILY" and well the deep south guys have attacked family and
Pondo & Tony want to get their shots in now. We will announce the
stipulation on this match as soon as it is agreed upon.
We will also be giving Mean Mitch Page a proper sendoff with a
retirement ceremony.
Also making appearances at this family reunion:
Suicide Kid, Blaze & Uncle Honkey
We are currently trying to get into contact with many of the other
regulars from IWA at that time to try to get as many of the old faces
out for this huge event as possible. We will make more announcements
when we can.
