I would like to give everyone a quick update on Rollin' Hard to start
this newsletter off on a good note. Rollin' has fought his way out
of the Intensive Care Unit and is off of the life support machines
and is making progress. His wife is hopeful that he will be getting
out of the hospital soon and continuing his recovery at home. We
would like to thank everyone for their well wishes, donations,
prayers and thoughts to help out Rollin' and his family.

Jim Fannin's half marathon is on Sunday and he has raised a little
over $1000 through donations for Rollin'. We are truly thankful for
all those donations as every little bit will help with the medical
bills and other bills that have piled up due to Rollin's wife missing
work to be with him.

Please continue thinking about Rollin and wishing him well.

Main Event - Special Challenge Match

Trevor Murdock vs. Nick Gage

Nick Gage called Ian and asked to be given this match. He wants to
prove himself to the IWA faithful as being as mean, nasty and tough
as the CZW fans believe him to be. He has read the hate on this board
and has heard the hate at the IWA shows he has done in the past and
the Q & A's at those events. Gage has said that this is his chance to
make a huge name for himself in the midwest by trashing a former WWE
superstar and pulling the strong style roots out of Trevor Murdock.
Trevor has said that he will take on all comers and that Nick Gage
doesn't know the beating that he has coming to him for issuing this
challenge.

IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title Match

Dingo vs. Drake Younger


Special Challenge Match

Noah Star - Bobby Fish vs. B.J. Whitmer

Bobby Fish wants to come in to IWA Mid-South and make an immediate
impact and show that he should be considered one of the favorites in
this year's TPI. What better way to show that than to take on a
former Strong Style Tournament champion, TPI champion and IWA Mid-
South World Heavyweight Champion in B.J. Whitmer?

Special Challenge Match

Too Cold Scorpio vs. "New Horror" Sami Callihan

Sami Callihan thinks that he is ready for the TPI. He thinks that he
has paid his dues and earned his spot. It is time for the up and
coming Callihan to put up or shut up as he takes on one of the best
on the independent scene today in Too Cold Scorpio.


Stay tuned to the IWA message board as we make further announcements
about this show in the coming days.

Main Event - Strong Style Dream Match

The Necro Butcher vs. Too Cold Scorpio


Semi - Main Event - IWA Mid-South Lt. Hvy Title - Cage Match -
Kimberly Kash in a Dog Kennel

Jason Hades vs. Jayson Quick w/ Kimberly Kash

This match is a result of the actions at Kings of the Crimson Mask.
Quick came to the ring with his new valet, Kimberly Kash. She got
involved in the match several times including holding Hades down on a
table on the floor as Quick came off the top with a shooting star
press tumbleweed that was just unbelievable. Kash also got into the
ring several times to grab a hold of Hades' leg as he tried to climb
the ladder to reach the belt. Hades ended up winning after hitting
the killswitch off the top of a ladder through a table on Quick and
then was able to climb the ladder and retrieve the belt. After the
match, Hades tried to be the bigger man and shake Quick's hand as a
sign of respect. Quick just flipped the bird and yelled F*@% You to
Hades and left. Ian then announced the cage match for this show with
Kimberly "locked in a dog kennel where she belongs" to keep her out
of the match. Will Hades once again come out on top or will this be
Quick's turn to show that he is just as good as he is arrogant and
disrespectful???

Also already agreeing to appear on this event:

Nick Gage

Bobby Fish

Stay tuned for more announcements.
