IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title Match

Dingo vs. B-Boy

Dingo
continues his quest to become the most successful IWA Mid-South World
Heavyweight Champion in history based on longevity and top quality list
of contenders defeated. He wants to step up to the plate and take out
the Real MuthaF'n G in IWA, B-Boy. B-Boy would like nothing better than
to go into the 4 way in Joliet the next night as the new IWA Mid-South
World Heavyweight Champion. Will Dingo continue his quest or will B-Boy
dropkick the champion's dreams straight in the face?


Elimination Tag Match - After this match these 4 will not be allowed to wrestle
each other in any combination for 60 Days

Trik Davis/Prince Mustafa Ali vs. Egotistico Fantastico/Jason Hades

The
fight between Trik & Ali against Ego has been raging since the
start of the new year. It was Trik & Ali that stole Ego's mask and
burned him with a fireball. Ali and Hades have had their problems in
the past as well especially when Hades was still the IWA Mid-South
World Light Heavyweight Champion. This will be these 4 men's
opportunity to win the war and have bragging rights through the summer
without the losers having any chance at redemption or revenge. This
will be the last time for 60 days that these 4 can combat each other so
they will be pulling out all the stops as Ego goes for revenge on the
men that robbed him and burnt him.

The Return of an former IWA favorite

"Sweet N Sour" Larry Sweeney vs. The Yellow Dog

What
really needs to be said about this match? Well don't expect the feel
good comedy of the year because Larry Sweeney has an axe to grind and
something to prove and he plans on returning to IWA Mid-South with a
bang.

The Hooligans vs. The Hybrids

Ricochet vs. Shane Hollister

Jon Moxley vs. DJ Hyde

Just added:

Dysfunction vs. Sami Callihan

IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title Match?

Dingo vs. "Sweet N Sour" Larry Sweeney

If
Dingo retains the title by defeating B-Boy at STB 9 the night before,
he will defend the title against former ROH star Larry Sweeney. Sweeney
wants to be taken seriously and show everyone that he is not just about
the laughs anymore and what better way to prove that than to become the
IWA champion and end the quest of Dingo to prove himself to be the best?


4 Way Strong Style Dance
Eddie Kingston vs. B-Boy vs. Drake Younger vs. Sami Callihan

These
four are undoubtedly among the four toughest hardest hitting men on the
IWA Mid-South roster and in all of independent wrestling. This is going
to be more than a battle for momentum heading into TPI. This is going
to be more than a battle for positioning for a world title shot. This
is going to be a battle for pride and bragging rights and if B-Boy
defeats Dingo the night before, it could be the IWA title. Eddie
Kingston never lost the IWA heavyweight title in a match and this is
his chance to show that he is better than the other three and that he
is the uncrowned IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Champion. The other
three have the opportunity to prove their superiority and knock the
former champion down a peg or two in everyone's eyes including his own.



Ego's Spot in TPI if he loses/Ego picks his poison if he wins vs. Ricochet being
banned from TPI for 3 years
Egotistico Fantastico vs. Ricochet

These
two had an unbelievable match at April Bloodshowers Part 2 and now a
rematch has been signed. However, the ante has been upped in this
matchup to make things a little more interesting. Egotistico Fantastico
is fighting for his spot in the Ted Petty Invitational which is very
important to him and if Ego wins, he gets to pick his poison and choose
his first round opponent in TPI, potentially giving himself an easier
road towards the finals. Ricochet is fighting for his TPI life for the
next 3 years. If Ricochet loses a second time to Ego, he will not be
able to be a competitor in the TPI for the next three years so it
definitely adds extra desperation to Ricochet. He has never held gold
in IWA Mid-South so this definitely his biggest match to date and it
could catapult him on to a title shot for the IWA Mid-South World Light
Heavyweight title if he can get this victory and do well in the 2009
TPI. This will be a night where one man's dreams will come true and
another man's will shatter.

Winner Gets A Spot in the 2009 TPI

Ryan Phoenix vs. Juice Robinson

These
two young stars have quite the rivalry going in IWA. It started off
with 2 time limit draws but then Ryan Phoenix was able to get the
victory in his hometown of Bellevue. Juice rebounded by gaining a
victory a little closer to his hometown in Joliet the following night.
This is without a doubt the biggest opportunity for both of these young
men and they will pull out all the stops in order to get that spot in
TPI and have a huge stage to show the independent wrestling world what
they are made of.

Jason Hades vs. Mike Sydal

This is the
IWA Mid-South debut of Matt Sydal's (Evan Bourne's) little brother.
Matt Sydal learned a lot and put himself onto the wrestling map during
his time in IWA Mid-South and he told his younger brother that now is
the time to follow that career path and make that name for himself by
coming to IWA Mid-South. He has his hands full though as his first time
out comes against a former IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight
Champion and one of the top competitors in IWA right now. Will this be
the beginning of another huge rising star or will Hades refuse to be a
stepping stone and show the youngster a thing or two?
