1. Ryan Phoenix vs. Juice Robinson goes to a 10 minute time limit draw

Very
good opening match that saw Ryan Phoenix working the neck of Juice and
Juice hitting a very nice spinebuster, a spear and a few suplexes.
Several near falls towards the end but they just couldn't get the three
count. I have a feeling that this is not over yet and a rematch is in
the works.

2. Bill the Butcher def. Greg Excellent

There
was no Kimberly Kash and it was a very different Bill the Butcher
following his KO loss to Necro Butcher. Bill ended up using his chain
by wrapping it around his elbow and delivering a back elbow smash to
Greg to get the victory. Greg had Bill on the ropes and momentum on his
side before Bill resorted to using the chain.

3. Rain def. Mickie Knuckles in a Pinfalls Count Anywhere Match

Rain
came out first and hid on the floor on the far side of the ring. As
Mickie came out and walked around the ringside area tagging fans'
hands, Rain attacked with an ambush and the fight was on. This one went
all over the gymnasium and included many whippings with a belt, throws
into the wall, dumping garbage on each other etc. They brawled up into
the bleachers and this is when The Hooligans attacked. They ran out and
grabbed Mickie and gave her a double powerbomb on the bleachers
allowing Rain to get the win.

The Hooligans immediately went to
the back after the attack. Ian came out from the dressing room to check
on Mickie. When he saw she was alright, he went to the ring. He called
out Jim Fannin and told him to get into the ring. Ian told Jim that he
didn't need to wait until Joliet if he wanted to talk trash, do it now.
Jim stated that he was a man of his word and since he said he would
talk in Joliet, that is what he was going to do. The Hooligans came
back out and attacked Ian from behind until Axl Rotten runs from the
back and it leads directly into:

4. The Bad Breed def. The Hooligans

This
was a return of the Bad Breed circa mid 1990s as Ian and Axl were
laying in the chair shots and the ass kickings as the fight was
everywhere. Three or four of the white chairs were broken by
chairshots. At the end of the match, Ian hit a stunner and Axl
delivered a lariat to get the pinfall. The victory was short lived
however as The Hooligans attacked after the match and duct taped Axl to
the ropes and then mercilessly beat on Ian using their belt buckle like
brass knuckles to gash Ian open badly.

After The Hooligans left and Axl was cut free, he made the challenge for a
rematch on March 20th for the return to Bellevue.

5. Keith Walker def. Zack Gowen

Keith
Walker was a force of nature in this match as Zack just couldn't
overcome the size advantage. He was able to get in a few things here or
there and had Walker reeling at one point but Keith drilled him with a
couple of Cut Throat Suplexes and then delivered a 6 Overhead Presses
Gorilla Press Slam followed by a Walker Driver for the pin. After the
match, another Walker Driver was delivered for added emphasis.

6. Drake Younger def. Jon Moxley, Devon Moore & B-Boy in a Pick Your Poison
Match

This
was a brutal matchup that was highlighted by Devon Moore being tied
into a tree of woe, Drake then being snap mared into the corner onto
top of Devon and then Moxley being thrown into the pile...B-Boy then
delivered a triple decker B-Boy Dropkick. As Devon & B-Boy got sent
to the floor later in the match and were fighting amongst themselves,
Drake delivered a Drake's Landing on Moxley for the pinfall.

Drake Younger now gets to pick any match that he would like...EXCEPT for a title
shot against Dingo.

7.
Popular Electronics (Hype Shalwin & Gameboy) def. Contract Killers
(Anthony Henry & Dustin Knight), The Starting Lineup (Kareem Abdul
Jamar & Chris Mayne) and Frankie the Face/"Old Timer" Jeff King

This
was a fun match with lots of great action between the Contract Killers
and The Starting Lineup. Very impressive performances for them. The
crowd loved when Kareem took his basketball and jumped off the apron of
the ring and did a slam dunk on the basketball goal and with his
landing took all the opponents on the floor out with a dive. Popular
Electronics get the victory with the Beer-O-Matic.

8. Michigan Militia def. Grits N Gravy in a Ladders Match

The
Militia attack Grits N Gravy while they were on their way to the ring.
The action starts on the floor and they are quickly using the ladders
as crippling weapons. A ladder is leaned against the ring on the floor
and Brooks gets backdropped onto it. Sami hiptosses Skyline onto the
ladder. Elgin was destroying chairs right and left with chairshots to
Brooks. The action continued fast and furious until Brooks hit a
concrete crash on Sami onto the ladder. Brooks then went for a Shooting
Star Press but Sami moved. Sami then bridged the ladder across the
second rope in a corner and then set Brooks up onto the top of the
corner. Sami climbed around the ladder and got up on the top rope with
Brooks and dumped him headfirst onto the ladder with a modified
Michinoku Driver. Elgin was then going for a powerbomb onto the ladder
but he ended up getting hit with powder in the eyes and was blinded.
Sami went to check on him but Elgin thought it was still the Michigan
Militia that he was trying to powerbomb. Instead, Elgin powerbombs Sami
onto the ladder and the Militia get the pin.

9.
Jason Hades def. "Quick" Carter Gray, Ash, Egotistico Fantastico, Shane
Hollister, Yellow Dog & Prince Mustafa Ali in a non title 7 way
elimination match.

So much action in this match that
it will be hard to list it all. Ali went to the back and came back out
with a shoe. He sat in the crowd and tried to light the shoe bomb on
fire and threw the bomb into the ring. Yellow Dog thought he was
playing fetch so he retrieved the shoe and brought it back to Ali. Ali
was furious and tried again to get the shoe to light. All other 6
competitors attacked him on the floor to keep him from doing it and
held him in the chair for Ego to deliver a running splash. Ego was
stilled taped up on the shoulder/chest from the fireball that he was
hit with by Trik & Ali.

Ali is the first eliminated, by Ego with the Beach Break.

Yellow Dog def. 2nd by Ash with a rollup and a handful of tail

Hollister
eliminated third by Quick Carter Gray. Gray has him in a powerbomb
position but takes Hollister's arms and crosses them between his own
legs and picks him up like a powerbomb but falls backwards into a
Northern Lights Suplex for the elimination. Hard to describe but
impressive to see.

Ego eliminated 4th by Ash with a Super Kick

Ash eliminated 5th by Hades with a springboard double foot stomp

Hades then eliminates Gray with a Killswitch but doesn't regain the Light
Heavyweight Title since it was a non title match.

10. Dingo def. Trik Davis to retain the IWA World Heavyweight Title

This
was an outstanding match that saw Dingo fight an uphill battle with Ali
ringside helping Trik during the match. Dingo was always fast to
quickly roll back into the ring when on the floor to make sure the 2 on
1 advantage was short lived. You could tell that both men scouted each
other very well as Dingo was able to counter the hangman's clutch among
other things and Trik was ready with reversals as well. Dingo finally
gets the victory around the 25 minute mark with a Super Fisherman's
Buster Suplex.
