Ladies and gents,
I have talked to Ian tonight and he is a bundle of nerves and anxious
anticipation for ending his active wrestling career on a great note.
I'm actually feeling sorry for Mickie about now because she may be in
for a world of hurt with this match. I don't see Ian retiring
without leaving everything he's got in the ring.
I can also tell you that there will be more than just what has been
announced so far. We have some surprises in store and there may be a
thing or two that Ian doesn't even know about that we may spring on
him.
This is definitely a show that you will not want to miss if you have
any way of making it to Plainfield, Indiana.
Rain, snow or shine we will be starting at 8 pm.
We hope to see you there.

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.
4 Way Elimination IWA World Heavyweight Title Match
Mike Quackenbush vs. Chris Hero vs. Chuck Taylor vs. Eddie Kingston
Mike Quackenbush is out of action until December due to the
concussion suffered at 2007 TPI. This will be his first or one of his
first matches back in action. Of course, there are plenty of issues
with Mike Quackenbush and Chuck Taylor dating back to the last IWA
Deep South show and then the 2007 TPI. Quack also has lots of issues
with his former friend Chris Hero. That feud developed in Chikara and
neither man has fully forgiven the other since their split. Eddie
Kingston would love nothing more than to defeat his mentor and
trainer in Quack. Quack will have his hands full in this one as he'll
have to outlast each competitor. The hatred between Kingston and Hero
was obvious to anyone that saw the 2007 TPI and this one should be
that much more brutal and heated now that the IWA World Heavyweight
title is on the line. This could definitely be a show stealer and
match of the year candidate for IWA Mid-South right at the end of the
year.
Too Cold Scorpio vs. "Mr. Insanity" Toby Klein
This match will be a unique battle between a former IWA Mid-South
World Heavyweight Champion that shed the hardcore label as champion
and took on several competitors in fantastic wrestling matches before
losing the title to Chuck Taylor and a legend in the business that
can do several different wrestling styles well. Can Toby turn this
into a rugged brawl and ground the high flying Scorpio? Can Scorpio
use his experience, speed and agility to stay one step ahead of the
former champ?
The Sandman vs. Drake Younger
The Sandman is a hardcore icon in the wrestling business from the
time he spent in the original ECW being a cigarrette smoking, beer
drinking, cane swinging SOB. Drake Younger is making his mark on the
hardcore scene with each and every match and one day wants to get to
the status that The Sandman currently has. Is The Sandman ready to
pass the torch or will Drake Younger have to wait a bit longer before
he can climb another rung higher on the ladder to the elite of
hardcore?
The stars are coming out in full force for this event to be a part of
this special night as it is Ian Rotten's retirement. Make sure you
join us for this huge party!
