IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title Match - Drake's Last Chance At
Title As Long As Dingo is Champion
Dingo vs. Drake Younger
Drake has had a few chances at taking the title away from Dingo but
Dingo had always found a way to hang on and pull out a
victory...until Lethal Lottery when the match ended with a double
pin. Drake thinks he is the uncrowned champion since he won the TPI
and feels like the title should have been defended in the tournament
like it has been in years past. Dingo feels slighted that Drake
thinks he would have won the tournament if Dingo had remained instead
of bowing out to rid the IWA of Jaysin Strife. This will be Drake's
last chance at Dingo. If Drake loses, he can't get another title shot
as long as Dingo remains the IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight
Champion. This is sure to be one hell of a donnybrook just like the
other battles between these two with an added sense of desperation
coming from Drake knowing that it is his last chance. Can Dingo do
the same to Drake that he did to Strife or will Dingo finally fall
prey to one of his predators?
IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title Match
Jason Hades vs. Troy Walters
Jason Hades has been a fighting champion that has accepted all
challenges made to him. Troy Walters issued a challenge and Hades
basically laughed in his face. It seems to be a recurring trend for
Hades because he did the same to Ryan Phoenix in Bellevue. Walters
was offended but what Jason said was basically true. He does have a
lot of victories over Troy around the Midwest. Troy definitely has
the talent and the motivation to present a serious challenge to
Hades. Will Hades underestimate Walters this time? Will Hades let his
success go to his head? Will Walters have a foolproof game plan going
on? We'll find out on Friday night!

**********************************************
Here are the results from our debut show in Bellevue, IL 11/28 -
"Autumn Armaggedon". Crowd was a little bigger than recent Joliet
shows but they were the loudest crowd I've seen in quite some time.
They were clapping, cheering, stomping their feet and making noise
almost the whole night.
We return to Bellevue on Friday night, January 2nd. More details on
that show later in this writeup.
1. Egotistico Fantastico def. Dustin Rayz. Ego was very popular with
the crowd and definitely kicked the night off on the right foot. Ego
wins with the springboard moonsault.
2. Marshe Rockett w/ C Red def. Ryan Phoenix. The crowd was not as
pro Soul Touchaz as the Chicagoland crowd but Ryan Phoenix was a
hometown kid. Marshe wins with the Ace Crusher.
3. Trauma w/ C Red def. Bull Schmitt. Bull was a tall big man that
was a friend of Trevor Murdock. I'm guessing someone from the St.
Louis area might be able to give more information on him. Trauma wins
with a DVD.
4. The Michigan Militia (Jeff Brooks & Brian Skyline) def. Michael
Elgin & Kris Chambers. Chambers takes a beating for most of the match
and finally makes the tag to Elgin. Elgin comes in and cleans house.
Chambers then turns on his partner and drops Elgin with a superkick
and pulls the Militia on top for the pin. Chambers immediately grabs
the mic and says that Elgin "sold out" Canada by getting Sami
Callihan as a tag partner at Double Death. He says that no one from
Canada including Ash or "even Bret Hart" will ever team with Elgin
again due to his turning his back on the Canadian roots.
5. Sami Callihan def. Mickie Knuckles. Sami comes out pissed off that
he doesn't get a title shot due to Dingo being injured and unable to
make it to the show. He challenges anyone to come to the ring and get
punched in the face if they think they are bad enough to take him.
Mickie answers the challenge. Sami says that he'll treat her like he
did her friend LuFisto or even better yet like he did her mentor, Ian
Rotten. The fight is on and Mickie took a beating in this match. She
dished it right back out but I think if she had a bit more recovery
time from the broken leg that she could have put up a better fight.
Sami wins with a Saitoplex.
6. Michael Elgin goes to a no contest with Kris Chambers. Michael
Elgin (probably the most popular guy on the show with the fans) comes
to the ring and grabs the microphone and calls out Chambers. Chambers
comes to the ringside area and Elgin topes thru the ropes onto
Chambers and the fight is on. Corey Mason runs out and saves Chambers
from sure death or at least injury at the rate it was going. The
Michigan Militia then run out and form an alliance with Chambers and
Mason and the four men stomp a mudhole in Michael Elgin. The Michigan
Militia then end their alliance and destroy Chambers and Mason and
leave them laying too.
Announced for Jan 2 - Grits N Gravy vs. Michigan Militia vs. Sex,
Drugs & Wrestling in a TLC match
7. Jason Hades def. Prince Mustafa Ali, Sal Thomaselli & Jake Crist
in a 4 way elimination match to retain the IWA World Light
Heavyweight Title. Prince Ali was very sneaky in this match. Sal
leveled Crist with a double bounce of the ropes lariat. Ali ditched
Sal from behind and jumped on Crist to eliminate him first. Hades was
then able to lay out Sal but Ali ditched Hades from behind to jump on
Sal and get the pin. It then came down to Hades vs. Ali and Hades
wins with a Killswitch.
Ryan Phoenix then comes to the ring. He challenges Hades to a title
match on January 2nd "even though I've never won a match in IWA" but
says that with his hometown behind him that he is a cinch to win the
title. Hades accepts the challenge and informs Phoenix that he has
beaten far better challengers than Phoenix and that he'll show him
why on January 2nd.
So on January 2nd - Jason Hades vs. Ryan Phoenix for the IWA Mid-
South World Light Heavyweight Title
8. Trevor Murdock def. Ian Rotten. Trevor gets on the microphone
before the match and announces that he is a sports entertainer
now...a 3 time former World Tag Team Champion sports entertainer at
that. He says that there will be no fighting, no brawling in the
crowd, no weapons...just straight up wrestling. That lasted for about
the first 3 minutes of the match before it went to the floor and the
fight was on. Ian was busted open slightly before the action returned
to the ring. Murdock wins with a bulldog off the ropes onto an opened
up chair in the middle of the ring.
Ian and Trevor trade insults and threats on the microphone leading to:
