I would like to give everyone a quick update on Rollin' Hard to start
this newsletter off on a good note. Rollin' has gotten out of the
hospital and now is in a rehabilition institute in order to try to
regain his strength and recover from the cancer surgery. We would
like to thank everyone that has kept him in your thoughts and prayers.
Now on to the upcoming schedule of events including changes in the
lineups due to B.J. Whitmer needing surgery on his broken hand and
being unable to compete and Jayson Quick is now unable to attend the
Sunday show due to miscommunication. He thought it was a night show
and now can't get off of work so the cage match is now off. Hades
will still be on the show and will defend the IWA Mid-South Light
Heavyweight Title.

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. Michael Elgin
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. He was initially going to challenge B.J. Whitmer but
now he'll be stepping into the ring with a man that is on a massive
knockout streak in the IWA. Can Fish survive the ground and pound
attack of the Strong Style Champion?
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.
High Flying Tag Team Action
Jason Hades & Ricochet vs. Jayson Quick & Prince Mustafa Ali
***********************************************
We will be holding a show on Sunday afternoon, August 17th following
our debut in Portage, IN in an effort to raise some money in order to
make payments on Mickie's very expensive hospital bills following her
broken leg and subsequent surgery.
Due to the amount of wrestlers wishing to help out Mickie on this
event, the bell time has been moved up an hour to allow more time for
the show.

Due to having to obtain permits to run at Alley Cats Bowling Lanes,
we are not going to be able to do those shows scheduled for Labor Day
Weekend.
We are looking into different venues for that weekend and we are also
going through the motions of getting the permits so that we can
continue to do shows at the bowling lanes.
We will keep you updated on the changes as they become available and
we are definitely still going to do a charity show for Rollin as soon
as we find a location.
