I don't think that it is a secret to anyone that follows IWA Mid-
South that we are currently having financial troubles as we still try
to rebound from the hole created at Candido Cup this year. We are
trying to encourage fans to help support independent wrestling and a
fan posted a comment to a blog about our DVD sale on myspace. "If
every fan bought just one DVD..." and then he went on to talk about
the money that could be made just off of the friends on the IWA
myspace page. Well here is your chance to help support independent
wrestling and help your favorite companies thrive.

Please go to www.smartmarkvideo.com and look through the DVDs that
they have available to purchase. They carry all the IWA Mid-South
shows and of course I would hope that you look there first to make a
selection. However, they also carry IWA East Coast, IWA Deep South,
CZW, IWS, Chikara and so many other federations. You can help
independent wrestling so much by going to www.smartmarkvideo.com and
purchasing just one DVD and helping that company grow. Of course, I
hope that you chose at least 1 IWA Mid-South dvd but every company
out there can use the help as well. But now onto the IWA Mid-South
news about upcoming shows.

SST and tries to become the NWA World Women's Champion

2. Lufisto - everyone was very disappointed when she got injured last
year after a brutal match against Necro Butcher and was unable to
compete in the QOTDM. LuFisto has been waiting for a year to get the
opportunity to be healthy and ready to prove that she is the rightful
Queen.

3. Delilah Starr - Delilah was the original Queen of the Death
Matches in IWA Mid-South as she was the inspiration that led to the
current Queen, Mickie Knuckles, deciding to get into professional
wrestling. Delilah wants to prove that nothing can compete with the
original and that she is still the true Queen.

4. Storm - Storm hails from the independents in the Alabama area and
loves to do battle in thumbtacks and barbed wire. She has faced Freak

surprise on her side, she just might pull it off!

Simply the Best 8
Sunday afternoon, November 4th, 2007
Hartman Recreational Center
511 N. Collins Street
Joliet, IL
1 pm bell time
Tickets: $25, $20 & $15

NWA World Women's Title Match

This match will definitely be a matchup of Simply the Best women
wrestlers out there today. This hard hitting contest will be the
first encounter between those two and will definitely be a nice
preview of what to expect the second time around in Midlothian at the
Strong Style Tournament. The NWA World Women's Title will be on the
line and neither of these competitors have really ever been in the
ring against someone that can compare to when they meet each other
for the first time!

Grugde Tag Match

Ian Rotten & Sal Thomaselli vs. Vito & Brandon Thomaselli

This match stems directly from the events that happened at the IWA
vs. ElitePro showdown. Vito hit Ian with brass knuckles to give
Brandon the win in the match and the series challenge for ElitePro.
Sal sided with Ian and that led to "miscommunication" and trouble
later in the night as the Iron Saints came up short in their quest to
become the NWA World Tag Team Champions. Sal is out to prove that he
is "everyone's favorite Thomaselli" and that he is the best
Thomaselli.

NWA Midwest X Division Title

Jason Dukes vs. mystery opponent

Ian Rotten issued the challenge for Dukes after Dukes was able to get
by with a lot of help from his NWA fans to retain his title at the
11th anniversary show. Who will Ian bring in to give Dukes the
beating of his life especially with as bloodied and battered as Ian
left Dukes at the 11th anniversary show? Whoever it is, it spells
trouble for Jason Dukes.

More information to be posted on this event in the coming days.

1. "Last of a Dying Breed" Eddie Kingston - the reigning Strong Style
Tournament champion

2. Too Cold Scorpio

3. Brent Albright

NWA World Women's Title Match

The NWA World Women's Champion Amazing Kong will take on IWA Mid-
South Women's Champion Mickie Knuckles in one of the most requested
matches that we have ever had...men's or women's. This will be a hard
hitting battle like never seen before in the women ranks. Will "The
Walking Episode of Cops" be able to handle being in there with a
woman that is so much bigger than her for the first time since she
was maybe a rookie? Will all the death matches and wrestling all the
boys prove to be more than enough to ready Mickie for the opportunity
of a lifetime? What better named show than the Revolution Strong
Style Tournament to have this match?

Main Event - Ian Rotten's Retirement Match

Ian Rotten vs. Mickie Knuckles

Ian's career has spanned 17 years and he has traveled the world and
wrestled in such companies as ECW, USWA and Global that gave him
television exposure and helped build his name. He started IWA Mid-
South 11 years ago when he moved to Kentucky after he fell in love
with Patti. This will mark the end of an era as he wrestles his final
match and who better to face in that match than his final student
that graduated the Ian Rotten Wrestling School. Ian and Mickie have
had many memorable matches in more than just IWA Mid-South but I
don't think anyone will forget the 2003 TPI or the 2006 KOTDM or even
the match after that in Streamwood. This one is going to be something
to remember even more than those other matches as Ian has promised to
bring the house down on his final night inside a wrestling ring.
Hopefully everyone will come out and support IWA Mid-South and give
Ian a great sendoff into retirement.
