If you have been to the last few shows in Joliet, you have seen the
very low turnouts at the events. We realize that the economy is rough
right now and that there isn't a lot of disposable income. We also
hope that everyone realizes that we are trying to put on the best
shows that we possibly can without doing so poorly that we can't
afford to do any more shows. We listen to the fans and try to give
you guys what you ask for and what has been asked for quite a bit is
the return of the Lethal Lottery show. Here is your chance to see
what you have asked for and we are going to give a price break to
those that can help us out in these economic hard times by bringing a
group of fans to the show.
General admission tickets will be buy 2 GA tickets and get 1 free for
the groups of three or more that come out to this show.
2008 Lethal Lottery
Saturday night, November 15th, 2008
Hartman Rec Center
511 N. Collins Street
Joliet, IL
Belltime: 8 pm; Doors open: 7 pm
Tickets: $15 & $10
12 men will compete in the Lethal Lottery where the fans will
determine the matches by drawing names out of hat. We can see friend
vs. friend or unique matchups that you would never see without the
help of a blind draw. Wrestlers will have to think on their feet and
come up with a game plan on the fly due to not knowing their opponent
ahead of time. The names will be drawn and music will be played and
the wrestlers will come to the ring. It will be time to separate the
men from the boys with the Lethal Lottery!!!!
The 6 winners of the matches will then compete in a battle royal. You
can eliminate opponents via pinfall, submission or by throwing them
over the top rope.
IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title Match
Dingo vs. winner of the battle royal
Dingo will put his title on the line against a wrestler that will
have definitely earned the title shot. Winning a singles match and
then eliminating 5 other challengers in a grueling battle royal in
the same night definitely deserves a title shot. Dingo will be at a
disadvantage by not knowing who he will have to defend the title
against while everyone competing will know the prize they are
fighting for. However, the champion will have the advantage of being
completely fresh for the match while the challenger is going to have
to display amazing stamina and endurance to win three different times
in one night. Can someone run the gauntlet and defeat the fighting
champion or will Dingo leave the Hartman Rec Center with his title
belt still around his waist and looking ahead to a pinfall counts
anywhere match with Sami Callihan in Bellevue, Illinois?
Special Challenge Match Not Part of Lethal Lottery
"The New Horror" Sami Callihan vs. ECW Original Ian Rotten
Sami got a taste of hardcore at Double Death. He had to taste his own
blood. He discovered that he actually liked it. What did he like even
more though? Making his opponents taste their blood! Sami was
defeated by The Bloody Brothers at Double Death and Sami wants a
chance to avenge that defeat. He also knows that he has the biggest
match in his career so far two weeks later when he potentially goes
for the IWA Mid-South World Title. What better way to prepare for a
pinfalls count anywhere title match than stepping in the ring with a
man that has more experience than just about anybody in a hardcore
rules match? He doesn't want to take on a Bloody Brother though...he
wants the ECW original...he wants Ian Rotten. Ian knows that he needs
to have that killer instinct that he made famous as Ian Rotten to
wrestle with his broken hand and he is more than willing to give to
Sami what he craves...the taste of his own blood and to show Sami
that it doesn't matter if it comes from a Bloody Brother or a Rotten!
Much more to be added to this event.

Autumn Armageddon
Friday night, November 28th, 2008
The Bellevue Plaza
325 Bellevue Avenue
Bellevue, IL 61604
Belltime: 8 pm; Doors open: 7 pm
Tickets: $15 ringside $10 bleacher general admission
IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title Match - Pinfalls Count Anywhere
Dingo (if still champion) vs. "New Horror" Sami Callihan
These two have done battle before but no one is on a bigger role in
IWA Mid-South than Sami Callihan. The New Horror is making a name for
himself all over the indies and wants to become IWA Mid-South World
Heavyweight Champion in order to show that he is the next great
breakout star to come from IWA Mid-South. Dingo has fought all
challengers and given most several chances to win the crown. One of
the most fighting champions in the IWA history, Dingo has a lot to
say on who he thinks should be the next breakout star...HIMSELF.
These two are going to battle all over the Bellevue Plaza to prove
superiority and leave as the champion.
Special Challenge Match
Former WWE Superstar Trevor Murdock vs. ECW Original Ian Rotten
Trevor and Ian have a mutual respect for each other but they also had
some problems recently in a tag team match in Joliet. What better way
to solve problems then by stepping into the ring and beating the hell
out of each other in a friendly but spirited contest inside the
squared circle? Trevor said that he didn't want a tobacco chewing Ian
Bloody in this match...he wanted the ECW original...the hardcore
icon...the hardest hitter that he can remember doing battle with
several years ago...Ian Rotten. What's the saying about being careful
what you wish for???
Also scheduled to appear: "Wild Eyed Southern Boy" Tracy Smothers
Much more to be added to this event. We hope that our fans from the
Chicago land area will come out and join us for our debut in Bellevue
as we try to bring our brand of wrestling to Central Illinois. We
will be running commercials in the area as they are much more
affordable in Peoria than in the Chicagoland area. Hopefully we get a
bunch of new fans to meet our regulars and have a great show after
Thanksgiving with our family...the IWA fans.
