Here are the results from Simply the Best 8 in Joliet, IL on Nov. 4

1. Jaysin Strife def. Dingo

2. Jack Thriller def. Brian Skyline with the Figure Four Leglock

3. Ash def. xOMGx, Diehard Dustin, Jeff Brooks & Frankie the Face in
an elimination match. Jeff Brooks eliminated Frankie first with a
shooting star press. Brooks got eliminated by by Diehard following a
modified reverse piledriver kind of move. Dustin got quickly rolled
up and pinned by Ash and then Ash eliminated xOMGx with a Texas
Cloverleaf after turning an attempting top rope rana into a powerbomb
on xOMGx. The match mostly worked as two men in the ring at a time
tagging out to others in the corners. Diehard and xOMGx worked as a
team throughout until eliminated by Ash.

4. C.J. Otis & Deranged battled to a double countout after beating
the hell out of each other all over the building and then it took all
the wrestlers from the back to finally separate them and get them
pulled apart from each other. I have a feeling that this feud is far
from over as Deranged is still pissed off that he hasn't made C.J.
pay for dubbing himself "The Death Match Destroyer."

5. Josh Abercrombie def. Jason Hades with a top rope lung blower.
Hades nearly pulled the upset several times but Josh was able to
outthink him and stay one move ahead until getting the pinfall. Hades
definitely has a bright future ahead of him barring any injuries.

6. Jason Dukes def. Corporal Robinson to retain the NWA Midwest X
Division Title. Dukes was all cocky before the match talking about
how good a friends his kids are with Corporal's daughter and how
their wives are good friends and they are good friends. Corporal told
Dukes that "I've known Ian a lot longer than I've know you so you're
f*cked" and blasted him with a hard right hand. They fought around
the ringside area and went back and forth in the ring. Dukes pulled
out a chain and goes for a punch but Corporal ducks it and ends up
knocking Dukes into referee P.J. Drummond. A second ref comes out as
Corporal hits Dukes with the chain and gets the pinfall. P.J.
Drummond waves it off and overturns the second ref and restarts the
match due to finding the chain on Corporal. Dukes rolls up Corporal
and P.J. makes the three count. Corporal and Ed Chuman get into a
shouting match afterwards.

7. Ian Rotten & Sal Thomaselli def. Vito & Brandon Thomaselli after
Ian hit the Rotten Rush double underhook DDT on Vito. Ian & Sal were
dressed alike (jean shorts and blue singlets) and the ref could not
tell the two apart?! Ian and Sal kept switching back and forth ala
The Killer Bees. Brandon & Vito tried it but the ref could tell them
apart. Ian then finds brass knuckles in Brandon's knee pads and Sal
and Ian play keep away with the brass knuckles as Brandon keeps
trying to get them back. The crowd even gets in on the Killer Bees
act by chanting "Go Ian Go" while Sal was in the ring to further
confuse the new referee. Ian thanks the Saints for their loyalty to
IWA and talks about all the fun times he's had wrestling in the
Chicago area in front of the great IWA fans in this area.

8. Michael Elgin def. Drake Younger...I didn't get to see it.

9. Mickie Knuckles battles Amazing Kong to a double DQ. Kong was
massive and couldn't believe that Mickie was surviving her impressive
offensive onslaught. They were fighting tooth and nail and referees
were dropping like flies. P.J. Drummond accidentally got killed by a
spinning backfist from Kong when Mickie ducked. The second referee
came out and ended up getting flattened when Kong caught Mickie's leg
on Mickie's running kick to the face finisher and then she just
tossed Mickie backwards like a rag doll into the second ref. A third
ref came out and tried to get Mickie and Kong to stop pulling each
other's hair and to get out of the corner. Both women turned around
and clocked the third referee which resulted in the double dq. Kong
cut a promo on Mickie that I didn't get to fully hear but it fired up
Ian and got Ian and Ed Chuman into a shouting match and Ian almost
clocked Chuman in the mouth when he said that Mickie didn't stand a
chance in the rematch in Midlothian at the Strong Style Tournament.
Ian told Chuman to make sure that he brings the NWA World Women's
Belt and shines it up real nice because Mickie Knuckles is bringing
that "bitch" to IWA in Midlothian.
