[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Here are the results from March Massacre 2009 in Bellevue, IL on March 20th:

1. Ryan Phoenix vs. Juice Robinson went to a 15 minute
draw. This was a return match from the last Bellevue show where they
went to a 10 minute draw. That match ended with no one having a clear
upper hand. Tonight, the same couldn't be said. The crowd was solidly
behind the hometown hero Phoenix and he was seconds away from earning a
submission victory. Phoenix worked over the back most of the match and
had a Texas Cloverleaf applied for the final 90 seconds of the match
and Juice was ready to tap as time expired. A rematch has been signed
for April 3rd with no time limit and no dq so there will finally be a
winner between these two.

2.  Josh Raymond def. Hunter Matthews with a top rope lung blower.

3.  Jason Hades def. Shane Hollister with a Killswitch

4.  Yellow Dog def. Jeff Brooks with a rollup

5.
The Hooligans def. Bad Breed in the extreme rules tag match. Several
leather belts were around the ring for the teams to whip each other
with and the action was all over the place. The Hooligans have been a
thorn in Ian Rotten's side for several shows now and they definitely
held the upper hand tonight. They took one of the belts and wrapped it
around Ian's neck and tied it around the ringpost choking him and
trapping him on the floor. The two Hooligans then doubleteamed Axl
until they choked him out with a belt around the neck. After the match,
The Hooligans tried to inflict even more damage but Ian was able to
work free and protect Axl from further harm. A rematch has been signed
for the return to Bellevue with Barbed Wire I Quit rules between these
two teams.

6. Michael Elgin def. Jon Moxley with a Canadian
Crossface. Very good back and forth action that saw Moxley working over
Elgin's shoulder after Elgin went for a spear but hit the post after
Moxley moved. Elgin fought the second half of the match with limited
use of his left arm but was able to fight back for the victory.

7.
Prince Mustafa Ali def. Mickie Knuckles with Weapons of Mass
Destruction. Ali came out dragging the American flag and got into the
ring and tried to burn it. Mickie came to the ring and the match was
on. They brawled to the floor and Ali ran Mickie back first into the
ringpost and viciously worked over her back the rest of the match.
After hitting the WMD, Ali thought about trying to burn the flag again
but instead draped it over the prone Mickie Knuckles and left the ring.
Ian came to ringside a few moments later and called out Ali and told
him that he would have to answer to Corporal Robinson on April 3rd for
attempting to burn the American flag.

8. Tracy Smothers def.
Joey Grunge. Grunge was very popular with the kids in Bellevue when he
came out and he put up a good fight against Tracy until the cagey
veteran used some underhanded tactics to pull off the victory.

9.
Dingo def. Masada to retain the IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title.
Masada and Dingo were both bloodied by the end of this one that had the
crowd chanting "this is awesome" on several occassions. Dingo took the
fight right at the KOTDM and even brought a chair into the ring as a
weapon and used it to bloody Masada. Masada was able to go move for
move with the champ and frustrate him. Masada took control of the match
and appeared to be well on his way to winning the title including
sticking several of the skewers into Dingo's head. Dingo fought back
and used the skewers against Masada and connected with an Oklahoma Roll
for the pin.

10. Mad Man Pondo def. Elkview Adam in a barbed
wire bat match. Both men started on the floor on opposite corners and
at the ref's 10 count ran to the ring to get the bat. Adam won the foot
race but Pondo grabbed his stop sign on the way into the ring and hit
Adam with the stop sign before Adam could use the bat. They brawled
around the building and Pondo dumped Adam into a trash can with a
bodyslam. He then stood Adam up with the trash can still on his head
and all kinds of garbage sludge (left over drink, nacho cheese and
various other liquids from the trash came rushing down Adam and onto
the floor. Pondo gets the win with a powerslam onto the barbed wire bat.

11.
Danny Havoc def. Devon Moore in a Light Tubes, Ladder & Barbed Wire
Ladder Match. Havoc gets revenge from the finals of the 2008 KOTDM in
this one after he gains the victory with a Dragon suplex with a light
tube behind Devon's head into a ladder bridged thru the ropes in a
corner. Lots of violent action in this one including Havoc getting sent
thru a ladder bridge on the floor and then Devon doing a plancha into a
splash across the ladder bridge on the floor from the ring.

So
a reminder...we return to Bellevue on Friday night April 3 with April
Bloodshowers Pt. 1 and we already have Hooligans vs. Bad Breed - I Quit
Barbed Wire Match; Prince Mustafa Ali vs. Corporal Robinson & Ryan
Phoenix vs. Juice Robinson - No Time Limit No DQ signed for that event.

Results from Night One of the 2009 King of the Death Matches:

Juice Robinson def. EZE following a cross body off the top. Very good showing
from Juice Robinson in this one. Crowd doesn't want EZE to come back so that is
self explanitory.


Details will be sparse due me running sound and Jim doing commentary.

the way through. Ego Missed a moonsault and Jacobs locked him in The Endtime.

Following the match, Ian invited Ego to the TPI.


First tourny matchup under way.

Afterwards Ian thanked Nate Webb and invited him to the 2009 TPI.

During
Ian's speech, DJ Hyde comes out and demands the microphone. DJ goes on
a tirade against the fans and calls all of them and the juggalos
pussies and this brings a fuming Corporal Robinson out to start off
this Thumbtack Madness match.

Corporal Robinson def. DJ Hyde following The Bootcamp.


Masada
def. Tank in a Barbwire Board Taipei Deathmatch by putting some sharp
pointy objects in Tank's head and hitting him with a chair. Absolute slugfest.


*Intermission*

ropes.

This
is a Deep Six Deathmatch. There are chains and barbwire on two sides of
the ring with fish hooks on them with the other two sides no rope
barbwire.

year.

wants the belt he has to go through Jim Fannin to get it. He also added
that he did this attack all by himself.


Necro Butcher def. Danny Havoc in a Home Improvment Deathmatch following a slam
off the top through a pane of glass
Started off slow with chain wrestling then turned into a heated brawl
all over the Hartman Center. This match Necro go through a door and
Necro delivering a forearm as Havoc jumped over the top.


Masada def. Corp. Robinson in a Flaming Cinder Blocks and Hot Coals match.
Corporal Robinson did two tributes to fallen family member Rollin Hard
by giving The West Side Slam into the flaming cinder blocks and also
delivering the Flaming Karate Chop. Masada won by powerbombing Corporal
Robinson a powerbomb into the coals and making him submit to a Boston
Crab.

After the match, Corp thanked Ian Rotten and the IWA Fans
for all the memories these past few years. He said that if he had to go
out anywhere it would be in front of the IWA fans. Ian took the mic and
thanked Corp for everything he's and also stating there was a reason
that they were the only two to win KOTDM twice. Ian also said that
Rollin was looking down with a smile on his face.


Nick

Dingo

powerbomb, Dingo threw Gage out of the ring and hit a moonsault to win.

*Intermission*

We
are underway with the finals. We have everything you could think of in
those two rings. A scaffold, No rope barbwire, electrified lightbulbs,
barbwire boards, endless amounts of lighttubes, fans weapons, and these
4 men, Necro Butcher, Masada, Thumbtack Jack, and Dysfunction will
battle for 30 mins in Iron man rules.

There has been a tie. Necro and Masada both have 2 points apiece. Jack and Dys
are eliminated. Sudden death overtime.

YOUR WINNER AND 2009 KING OF THE DEATHMATCHES MASADA!!

Necro and Masada went punch for punch until Masada was able to back suplex Necro
into a rollup.

Ian
thanked all 4 men for doing what they do. Ian said anytime Masada wants
to come back he will be glad to have him because Masada is the fucking
man.

Extreme Tag Team Warfare Grudge Match

The Bad Breed vs. The Hooligans (Mason & Devin Cutter)

One
has to hand it to the Hooligans. They came into IWA Mid-South with the
intentions of turning some heads and making a huge impression. They
succeeded with their mission because they went right after Ian
Rotten...start with the big dog if you will. The war between Ian and
The Hooligans has been fierce and has seen broken noses and dislocated
shoulders so far. It has even seen Rain and Mickie Knuckles get
involved. However, Ian knows that there is one person that he can
always count on when the times are tough and he needs a partner...his
bigger brother AXL!!!! The Bad Breed won the battle last time in
Bellevue but the war wasn't over as The Hooligans attacked after the
match was over and duct taped Axl to the ropes and made him watch on
helplessly as they brutalized Ian with their belt buckle like it was
brass knuckles. The rematch is set and no one knows for sure whether
the town of Bellevue is ready for the carnage and the mayhem that is
coming its way on March 20th!!!!

Also scheduled to appear for the show already:

Thumbtack Jack & Mad Man Pondo

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Ian started the show by announcing the first round matchups for 2009
KOTDM.

Corporal Robinson vs. DJ Hyde
Mad Man Pondo vs. SeXXXy
Eddy
"Mr. Insanity" Toby Klein vs. Dysfunction
Thumbtack Jack vs. Nick
Gage
Elkview Adam vs. Danny Havoc
Devon Moore vs. xOMGx
Tank vs.
Masada
Necro vs. Green Phantom

Plus, Night One - Jimmy Jacobs vs.
Egotistico Fantastico...winner gets a light heavyweight title shot on night
two

Jim Fannin then walked out to the commentary table and Ian asked him
if he was going to make his announcement already. Jim Fannin said that Ian
couldn't tell him what to do and that he would do it whenever he damn well felt
like doing it. The show began.

1. Keith Walker def.
Juice Robinson

Keith Walker destroyed Juice in this one. Juice
showed a lot of fight but was just overpowered. Walker picked him up for a
chokeslam and dropped Juice across his knee with a backbreaker out of it. Juice
actually dropped the big man with a crossbody off the top but that only made him
angry. Walker took his head off with a lariat hit the Cut throat suplex and the
Walker Driver for the pin. Jason Dukes immediately came out and laughed and
mocked Juice as Juice was being taken to the back...which led to:

2. Greg Excellent def. Jason Dukes

Excellent
started the match by giving Jason Dukes 3 titty twisters and then tossing Dukes
over the top rope by using two hands full of Duke's boobs. Dukes got back into
the ring first and as Excellent delayed returning to the ring to shake hands and
mingle with the crowd, Dukes took over and started working over the neck.
Excellent fought back and gains the win with a sit out pedigree.

3. Michael Elgin def. Devon Moore

This one
started out with a brawl on the floor that saw Devon use a chair on the stage as
a launching pad into Elgin on the floor. They fought towards the ring and Devon
went for a rana but Elgin caught him and ran him powerbomb style into the
ringpost to take control. It turned into a back and forth fight with Elgin using
size and strength while Devon used plunder, speed and quickness to even the
odds. Elgin eventually regained the upper hand with a straight jacket
brainbuster and then a vicious looking jumping tombstone piledriver. He then
clamped on a Canadian Crossface for the submission victory

4. Yellow Dog def. Ash

Yellow Dog was looking for
revenge after Ash pinned him last night by rolling him up with a handful of tail
for leverage. This time the Yellow Dog came out on top with a dive off the top
rope into a DDT on the landing.

5. Rain & The
Hooligans def. Mickie Knuckles & The Bad Breed

This one
started off as a traditional tag style match but quickly got chippy when Ian
snapped on one of the Hooligans and the results was probably a broken nose for
Mason Cutter by the looks of it. The Hooligans got revenge by injuring Ian in
return with what appeared to be a shoulder or forearm injury/dislocation. Ian
and Axl had use the ringpost and tug of war to try to put things back into place
during the match. Bad Breed & Hooligans fight on the floor and all over the
building while Rain and Mickie duke it out in the ring. Rain gets the pin on
Mickie during the melee to win the match.

Jim Fannin then feels the time
is right following the match where Ian is injured to make his announcement. He
comes ringside and tells Axl & Mickie to take a hike because this is between
him and Ian. Ian assures Mickie and Axl that even with an injured arm he isn't
scared of Fannin so they leave. Fannin then nearly dies of a stroke four
different times ranting about his hatred for Jimmy Jacobs and how the Ian Rotten
that he believed in and trusted and befriended over 10 years ago has been
replaced by a soft, injury prone, pushover that lets people like Axl, Trik Davis
and Jimmy Jacobs make him look like a buffoon with all the chances they are
given. Ian takes the mic and reminds Jim that it is that version of Ian Rotten
that has also forgiven Jim for all the fans that he has cost IWA over the years
and for all the wrestlers that refuse to work for IWA because of Jim. Ian then
tells Jim to get on with his announcement that has been eating at him for so
long.

Jim Fannin then says that he knows about Ian's phone to D anny
Daniels to bury the hatchet. Ian laughs and says "it's that what this is all
about" but stops laughing when a 5 shades of red in the face, swearing, stark
raving lunatic Fannin decks him with a right hand. Fannin realizes what he did
and with his arm shaking in a nervous wreck, he backs out of the ring and back
up to the commentary table.

Ian says that it is the last time that Fannin
will put his hands on him and not get destroyed in return and hopefully since he
had his blow up that he'd get over it. Ian says that for the betterment of the
Chicago wrestling scene, the war needs to be over. Using Jimmy, Trik etc adds to
the talent on the IWA shows making it better. Not running shows against each
other would make things better on the fans because they wouldn't have to choose
one over the other.

He then tells Fannin that if he wants Jimmy Jacobs
out of IWA so damn bad, to be a man about it and deck Jimmy like he had just
done to him. Fight Jimmy...man to man...one on one...Put Up or Shut Up. The
crowd then chanted "Fight Jimmy" but it didn't appear that Fannin was too
willing to do that any time soon.

6. Da Soul Touchaz
won a 7 team gauntlet Pick Your Poison Match

The Starting
Lineup (Kareem Abdul Jamar & Chris Mayne) def. The Contract Killers (Anthony
Henry & Dustin Knight) in a good opening leg of the gauntlet. Mayne was
doubleteamed badly throughout the match and finally tagged to Kareem who used a
strong chest pass of his basketball to knock Henry from the ring and rollup
Knight for the pin.

Old Timer Jeff King & Frankie the Face def.
Starting Lineup. This was a very quick match as King & Face hit the ring
quickly and started roughing up the rookies. Kareem went for the chest pass with
the basketball again but Old Timer caught it and returned it after Kareem turned
around and drilled him right in the back. King then clamped on the bearhug and
squeezed the life out of Kareem for the victory.

Popular Electronics
(Hype Shalwin & Gameboy) def. Old Timer & Frankie the Face after Hype
blocks the bearhug and they hit the Beer-O-Matic for the pin.

Da Soul
Touchaz (Trauma & Marshe Rockett) def. Popular Electronics after Trauma did
a fallaway slam on Gameboy and Marshe rolled up Shalwin.

Da Soul Touchaz
def. Michigan Militia (Brooks & Skyline). Militia control the match by
cutting the ring and half and doubleteaming Trauma throughout since he doesn't
have the endurance of Marshe. Trauma finally makes the tag and Marshe gets the
win with a Top Rope Centon.

Da Soul Touchaz def. Chris Havius &
Stephen Saint to win the Pick Your Poison Gauntlet Match when Trauma delivers a
huge spear.

7. Bill the Butcher def.
Dysfunction

Kimberly Kash has amazing powers to control Bill
the Butcher. The normally wildman came to the ring with a black hood covering
his face and a chain leash around his neck. Bill stayed calm until the bell rang
and Kimberly removed the hood. Butcher then went crazy and Dysfunction was
scrambling and fighting. Butcher stunned everyone when Dysfunction went to the
top rope for a splash and Bill the Butcher charged the corner, ran up the
turnbuckles, grabbed Dysfunction and delivered a powerslam off the top rope for
the pinfall. Kimberly immediately put the hood back over Butcher's head to get
him under control and take him to the back.

8. B-Boy
def. Sami Callihan

This match was as hard hitting of a match
as there has ever been in IWA. I think Sami was almost knocked out on a couple
of different occassions as one time B-Boy blocked an attempted double leg
takedown with a horrific knee to the side of the head that dropped Sami. They
did a barroom brawl of forearms and headbutts on the floor. B-Boy followed that
up with a running jumping knee into Sami's face and teeth and jaw that dropped
Sami on the floor. B-Boy had to try to lift Sami's dead weight into the ring and
then pull him away from the ropes but Sami recovered enough in that time to kick
out at two. Sami made a comeback with a couple of devastating lariats and a Koji
Clutch. He was going for a German suplex or something when B-Boy delivered a
hellacious back elbow and then attacked with a rear naked choke for the
victory.

After the match, Ian gave B-Boy an invitation into the 2009
TPI

9. Trik Davis def. Egotistico Fantastico -
Pinfalls Count Anywhere

The hatred in this match was
undeniable. The fight went all over the building and Chuckie Smooth kept
interfering. Ego drilled Chuckie and then picked up Trik for an over the
shoulder running powerslam on the floor. Instead, everyone in the front row
folded up their chairs and held them up and Ego ran Trik's head into every chair
all the way around the ring. The crowd chanted one more time and Ego obliged,
this time running Chuckie into all the chairs the same way. Ego set up Trik for
his 40 yard dash on the floor dive onto the opponent while he is sitting in a
chair but Chuckie interfered and kept it from happening. Ego went for it a
second time later but this time enlisted help. IWA board's own Scar and Roy D
Rage each grabbed on arm of Trik's and made sure he was going no where. Another
fan was then placed in a chair in front of the chair that Trik was in to give
Ego someone to jump over. Ego drilled the splash onto Trik and the crowd loved
it...especially Scar and Roy! The fight went up onto the stage at the commentary
table. Ego set up a pyramid of 8 chairs on the floor and was ready to powerbomb
Trik onto the pyramid. Chuckie Smooth got involved again and got thrashed again.
However, Keith Walker comes running out and drills Ego from behind and then
picks Ego up and powerbombs him off the stage thru the pyramid of 8 chairs.
Walker throws Trik on top of Ego for the pin.

10.
Quick Carter Gray def. Ricochet, Dingo, Prince Mustafa Ali and Jason Hades to
retain the IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title.

I
can't even begin to put into words the high flying death defying moves that
these guys broke out in this match. So many domino effect flips and twists out
of moves. So many high risk dives and craziness. The shooting star press 450
legdrop that Gray did was breathtaking. Gray gets the pin on Ricochet amongst
the madness. You have to see it to believe type stuff in this one.




[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

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.

Tables, Ladders & Chairs Grudge Match

Grits N Gravy (Elgin & Sami) vs. Michigan Militia (Brooks & Skyline) vs. Sex
Drugs & Wrestling (Chambers & Ash)

Elgin
teamed with Chambers at the first Bellevue show to take on the Militia.
Chambers turned on Elgin disgusted that he was using Sami Callihan as a
tag partner. That somehow was a betrayal to his Canadian roots.
Chambers promised that Elgin would never be able to get another
Canadian to team with him...including his former tag partner and man he
came to IWA with, Ash. It allowed the Militia to get a victory over
Elgin. Elgin and Chambers started an impromptu match against each other
when the Militia got involved again. They beat down both Elgin and
Chambers leading to the need for a 3 way. In order to make it a little
more interesting...tables, ladders and chairs will be allowed. Will the
Canadians side with the Militia or Grits N Gravy to make it 4 on 2
until the Militia is taken care of or will the past friendship of Elgin
and Ash mean nothing and every team fend for themselves? Maybe Sex
Drugs & Wrestling will work with the Militia to prove a point to
Elgin. The only thing known for sure is that chaos will ensue!

Pinfalls Count Anywhere

Mickie Knuckles vs. Rain

This
will be a return match from the January 23rd show as Mickie Knuckles
knocked out Rain with a kneelift using the leg that has the titanium
rod inserted into it after breaking her leg vs. Sara Del Rey. Rain came
out at the end of the night and attacked Mickie as she tried to save
Ian Rotten from an attack at the hands of The Hooligans. Mickie and
Rain have had a long standing rivalry that included several brutal
matches back in 2005 including a strap match. This promises to go down
in the books as just as hard hitting as those matches were and then
some!

Grudge Tag Team Match

The Bad Breed (Ian & Axl Rotten) vs. The Hooligans (Devin & Mason Cutter)

The
Hooligans have decided that they want to try to run with the big dogs.
They attacked Ian Rotten at the TV Taping demo show and called Ian and
Axl old men. They followed that up by attacking Ian Rotten at the end
of the night a week later in Bellevue. Ian has promised that they will
pay the price and learn why Ian and Axl are called the Bad Breed when
they tangle on the 6th!

The Bellevue Plaza

Bellevue, IL
8 pm belltime; doors open 7:15 pm
Tickets: $15 ringside; $10 bleachers


Tables, Ladders & Chairs Grudge Match

Grits N Gravy (Elgin & Sami) vs. Michigan Militia (Brooks & Skyline) vs. Sex
Drugs & Wrestling (Chambers & Ash)

Elgin
teamed with Chambers at the first Bellevue show to take on the Militia.
Chambers turned on Elgin disgusted that he was using Sami Callihan as a
tag partner. That somehow was a betrayal to his Canadian roots.
Chambers promised that Elgin would never be able to get another
Canadian to team with him...including his former tag partner and man he
came to IWA with, Ash. It allowed the Militia to get a victory over
Elgin. Elgin and Chambers started an impromptu match against each other
when the Militia got involved again. They beat down both Elgin and
Chambers leading to the need for a 3 way. In order to make it a little
more interesting...tables, ladders and chairs will be allowed. Will the
Canadians side with the Militia or Grits N Gravy to make it 4 on 2
until the Militia is taken care of or will the past friendship of Elgin
and Ash mean nothing and every team fend for themselves? Maybe Sex
Drugs & Wrestling will work with the Militia to prove a point to
Elgin. The only thing known for sure is that chaos will ensue!

Pinfalls Count Anywhere

Mickie Knuckles vs. Rain

This
will be a return match from the January 23rd show as Mickie Knuckles
knocked out Rain with a kneelift using the leg that has the titanium
rod inserted into it after breaking her leg vs. Sara Del Rey. Rain came
out at the end of the night and attacked Mickie as she tried to save
Ian Rotten from an attack at the hands of The Hooligans. Mickie and
Rain have had a long standing rivalry that included several brutal
matches back in 2005 including a strap match. This promises to go down
in the books as just as hard hitting as those matches were and then
some!

Grudge Tag Team Match

The Bad Breed (Ian & Axl Rotten) vs. The Hooligans (Devin & Mason Cutter)

The
Hooligans have decided that they want to try to run with the big dogs.
They attacked Ian Rotten at the TV Taping demo show and called Ian and
Axl old men. They followed that up by attacking Ian Rotten at the end
of the night a week later in Bellevue. Ian has promised that they will
pay the price and learn why Ian and Axl are called the Bad Breed when
they tangle on the 6th!

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Here are the results from the Jan 23rd show in Bellevue, Illinois:

1.  Trik Davis def. Shane Hollister

This
was a very good opening contest and Hollister was very impressive in
his debut even in a losing effort. Hollister received a please come
back chant from the IWA regulars that made the trek down to Bellevue.

2.  The Hooligans def. Ryan Phoenix & Stephen Saint

3.  Egotistico Fantastico def. Juice Robinson

Juice
continues to be very impressive but Ego got the victory with the
springboard reverse direction moonsault. Ego wrestled with his left
shoulder/chest heavily bandaged due to the fireball he was hit with
last weekend by Trik Davis & Prince Mustafa Ali (Smooth
Operations.) Trik came out after the match and attacked Ego's injured
chest with a chair until being run off by Shane Hollister and Yellow
Dog. Yellow Dog then issued a challenge to Trik Davis for later in the
night since Chuck Taylor was unable to make it to Bellevue due to
having the flu.

4.  Devon Moore def. Tyler Black

Tyler
cut a promo before the match about how he got his start in IWA and gave
his history with IWA...how he lost the loser leaves IWA match at the
2006 TPI and has hardly been used at all in IWA after the 6 months had
expired. He proclaimed his desire to become an IWA regular again and
how after he "beats this punk tonight," he "wants a heavyweight title
shot." Tyler was quite dominant for the majority of the match and
seemed to be on his way to victory until Jimmy Jacobs came out and put
Devon's foot on the rope to break the pinfall. This distracted Tyler
and let to a shouting match between the former Age of the Fall partners
and allowed Devon Moore to recover and nail Tyler with a superkick to
get the victory.

5.  Mickie Knuckles def. Rain

This
match was mostly technical based unlike their previous wars in 2005
that were the hardest hitting women's matches in IWA history. The
technical got thrown out the window though half way through and it
turned into a fight. Mickie gets the victory following a vicious knee
lift with the titanium rod reinforced leg that knocked Rain
unconscious. Rain needed help back to the dressing room and Mickie only
partially looked concerned about knocking out Rain.

6.  Necro Butcher def. Ricochet

This
was an outstanding big man/little man matchup that saw Necro just
totally destroy Ricochet in the early going beating him from one side
of the building to the other. Fans were beginning to worry for
Ricochet's well being and safety. Ricochet was able to control the
action for quite a while after the rocky start by using his quickness
and agility. He gained several near falls on Necro using this gameplan
to where the crowd thought they were going to see the upset. Ricochet
made a costly mistake though as he went high risk and climbed to the
top rope and jumped off towards Necro. Necro drilled Ricochet in the
face with a wicked right cross in mid air and gained the victory by
pinning the stunned Ricochet.

7.  Trik Davis def. Yellow Dog

Trik
didn't quite know how to handle dealing with the unorthodox nature of
the Yellow Dog but he did gain the victory with a rollup and a handful
of the Yellow Dog's tail and trunks for leverage.

8.  Dingo def. Jimmy Jacobs to retain the IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title

Jim
Fannin was the ring announcer for the match and Dingo pinched his cheek
as he had a very worried look on his face before doing the intros. They
then exchanged thumbs up before the start of the match. The match
started with a very respectful display of catch as catch can style of
wrestling and clean breaks. The mutual respect slowly evaporated
following several shoving matches and heated exchanges. It turned into
a brawl around the building that saw Dingo get busted open. Jimmy had
the upper hand as they returned to the ring until Tyler Black came out
to ringside and starting to try to get into the ring to go after Jimmy
for costing him earlier in the night vs. Devon Moore. As Jimmy argued
with Tyler Black, Jim Fannin started sneaking closer to the ring from
the commentary table and slid into the ring and then delivered a
running double axe handle to the base of the neck. Jacobs forward
momentum pushed him into the ref which caused the ref to tumble to the
floor. The ref got up and tried to run off Tyler Black. Fannin grabbed
the ref and threw him back into the ring as Dingo was hitting a
fisherman's suplex onto Jimmy Jacobs for the pinfall victory.

Ian
Rotten left the commentary table and came to the ringside area and
started yelling at Fannin asking why he interfered. Fannin claimed that
he did nothing and was at the commentary table with Rotten the entire
time. At this point, The Hooligans run out and attack Ian. Mickie comes
to try to save Ian but Rain comes out right behind Mickie and they
continue fighting. Fannin grabs Dingo and says that if Ian wants to be
in love with Jimmy Jacobs that they aren't going to help him fight off
the Hooligans. They leave as Jimmy Jacobs comes to with a chair to
chase off The Hooligans and Rain.

Jimmy Jacobs cuts a promo
saying that Jim Fannin has interfered in his matches for the last time
and that it is going to come to an end. He says that Fannin may have
done a lot for IWA but he doesn't put his body on the line like him and
the other WRESTLERS do. He then says that by the looks of things, he
now has Ian Rotten and Mickie Knuckles on his side in the war.

Ian
Rotten then tells Jimmy that the time has come for Fannin to show
whether he has any balls or not and stop getting other people to fight
his battles for him. It is time for Jim Fannin to fight Jimmy Jacobs
one on one. Jimmy was on his knees begging Ian to make the match. Ian
said that since Fannin wasn't a WRESTLER that he couldn't make him do
the match but that he had faith that enough buttons could eventually be
pushed to where the Fannin would agree to the match.

Ian then
turned his attention to The Hooligans and told them that on Feb 6 in
Bellevue that they were going to pay for calling Ian and Axl old men
last weekend. "This 38 year old fat scarred up old man is going to kick
your asses on the 6th!" and made the match of The Bad Breed vs. The
Hooligans.

The match was then made for Rain vs. Mickie Knuckles in a pinfalls count
anywhere match for February 6th in Bellevue as well.

Stay tuned to the message board for further details about the return to Bellevue
on Friday night February 6th.

Friday night, January 23, 2009
The Bellevue Plaza
325 Bellevue Avenue
Bellevue, IL
8 pm belltime
Tickets: $15 ringside & $10 bleachers

IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title

Dingo vs. Jimmy Jacobs

This
title shot was going to go to Ian Rotten on the original date of the
show. At the Jan. 3 Joliet show, Ian gave his title shot to Jimmy
Jacobs and said that if it was Jimmy's destiny to regain the title and
rectify the mistakes of the past...then it was time for it happen. Jim
Fannin didn't feel the same way and almost had heart failure on the
stage and swore that he wouldn't let it happen. Will Jimmy fulfill his
destiny or does destiny have other plans for Jimmy Jacobs?

Battle of TNA Knockouts
Mickie Knuckles vs. Payton Banks a.k.a. Rain

Mickie
and Rain have a long history in IWA Mid-South. They had a series of
great matches back in 2005 that saw Mickie on the winning side more
times than not. In 2004, Rain was able control the feud. It has been a
couple of years since these two have tangled but there is still no love
lost between them. Will Mickie run roughshot over Rain or will Rain use
her beauty and her brains to distract the referee and get a victory
over the Redneck Woman? Mickie will be at a disadvantage due to her
recovering broken leg but she won't use that as an excuse. Be in
Bellevue to see who the better TNA Knockout is and perhaps the winner
will be one step closer to returning to TNA?

DAVID vs. GOLIATH
Ricochet vs. The Necro Butcher

Ricochet
is one of the top high flyers in IWA. However, he probably only weighs
in at about 175 pounds. Necro is going to have at least a 100 pound
weight advantage. Can Ricochet use his quickness and aerial ability to
stay away from the madman known for destroying his opponents? Will
Necro use his size and strength to ground Ricochet and beat him to a
pulp? This is the ultimate styles clash matchup in IWA and it could
very well be the last time that Ricochet ever steps into a ring if he
can't stay away from the Necro Butcher.

Heavyweight Title Contenders Match

"New Horror" Sami Callihan vs. Tyler Black

Sami
Callihan's new year resolution is to prove to everyone by the end of
2009 that HE is the franchise and the future of IWA. He desperately
wants to be thought of as the Chris Hero of 2000 - 2004 in IWA history.
The guy that can do it all and wrestle anyone and not only win but win
over the fans as well. He's been a finalist in TPI, Strong Style and
Candido Cup. He's gotten victories in Double Death and over Mickie
Knuckles and Ian Rotten. The next thing on his checklist is to beat up
a former IWA Mid-South light heavyweight champion with tremendous hype
and fanfare on the internet. Can Sami top the MTV, ROH star or does he
still have more to accomplish before establishing himself as the
franchise?

Light Heavyweight Contenders Positioning Match

Trik Davis vs. Shane Hollister

Shane
Hollister will be making his IWA Mid-South debut and he has drawn a
very tough customer in Trikory Davis. While a victory in his debut
won't guarantee him a title shot, it will go a long way in guaranteeing
that he returns to IWA and that he will be taken seriously. If Trik
wins, whether by hook or by crook, the former IWA heavyweight champion
could see himself in title contention for the light heavyweight title.
Hollister has a lot of good press and hype behind him coming in to IWA.
Will he fold under the pressure or will we have another young rising
star in the IWA ranks in 2009?

Fan Requested Match

Chuck Taylor vs. Yellow Dog w/ Classie Lassie

The
fans were excited when this was announced for the original show
scheduled for Jan 2 and it will go down this Friday night in Bellevue!
Prepare to laugh. Prepare to cry. Prepare to be torn as to whom to
cheer for in this one ladies and gentlemen. If the same amount of kids
show up as the last time in Bellevue, it will definitely be something
to see how many of them Chuck can make cry.

Also appearing on the show:

Egotistico Fantastico

Jason Hades

Much much more.

**************************Here are the results from the 1/17 TV Taping demo
courtesy of Scar from the IWA board:

Jim Fannin asked me to do the "Official" results in his
absence, admittedly i did not see all the action, so im sorry if there
are mistakes. here goes:

Ian announced that this show would be
broken up into 2 one hour sections (for the T.V. shot) and then there
would be a 6 man match for the #1 contendership to the World Light
Heavyweight title that would only be for the fans in attendance and the
DVD. side note, the ring has new ropes

Match 1

Devon Moore Pinned Prince Mustafa Ali w/ Trik Davis & Chuck E. Smooth

Devon
came out on top of a back and forth pinning exchange for the win. after
the 3 count Trik and Chuck both jump Devon, all three men held Devon
and began to try to put Ego's mask on him (yes, Ali is carrying Ego's
mask as a trophy, wearing it around his neck at times). Jason Hades
came to Devon's aid and got tossed from the ring for his trouble.
Egotistico Fantastico then made his way quickly to the ring, and gets
hit with a fireball from Trik.

Match 2

Ian Rotten & Mickie Knuckles beat Dave Allen and The Masked Masked Wearer Man

This
match was very one sided, so much so that Dave Allen never even got
into the match. MMWM took a lot of punishment from Ian and Mickie. Ian
and Mickie are guilty of gimmick infringement during this match. They
used the Iron Saints Kick (where each member grabs an arm and kicks the
opponent in the chest in turn), as this happened i looked at Sal
Thomaselli (who was on the stage) and he looked sad, maybe thinking of
how he and his brother used to love utilizing that move before Vito
turned his back on him. Ian and Mickie then used a double B Boy
dropkick to set up a Ace Crusher by Mickie and a stiff lariat by Ian.
both covered MMWM for the 3 count. Dave Allen threw his KO'd partner
over his shoulder to carry him to the back, knocking his head into
seemingly everything that he passed by. funny stuff

Match 3

Bill the Butcher w/ Kimberly Ka$h pinned Troy Walters

Ka$h
led Bill the Butcher too the ring by a chain around his neck and a hood
over his head, once the bell rang Ka$h took off the chain and as soon
as the hood was off, Bill charged for Troy. good back and forth
wrestling from these two, but Bill was just to much for Troy, hitting
him with a powerslam from the top for the pinfall. i have to wonder if
Troy was mentally ready for this match, or was his mind still reeling
over the fact that he is Kimberly Ka$h's second choice.

Match 4

The Hooligans defeated Da Soul Touchaz (Marshe Rocket & Trauma) w/ C-Red &
Dymond

C-Red,
escorted to the ring by his wife Dymond, was still showing the effects
of the Soul Shooters attack on him from the last show in Joliet,
wearing a neck brace and carrying his arm in a sling. The Hooligans
were able to isolate Mr. M-80 for most of the match, using every
underhanded, dirty, and, illegal tag team move in the book to keep
Marshe away from The Ghetto Gladiator. Well they couldn't keep him down
forever. Once Trauma got the tag he came like a ball of fire, clearing
house, hitting a spinebuster on Mason Cutter. With that, Marshe seemed
ready to help his partner, Marshe climbed to the top while the ref's
back was turned only to be shoved out to the floor. with that Trauma
was distracted and hit with a moonsault by Devin, and it still took
both Hooligans to keep Trauma down for the 3 count.

Match 5

Michael Elgin beat Jeff "The Hook" Brooks

Just
as he turned around to hang his leather vest on the turnbuckle, Elgin
was attacked from behind, and Brooks took control from there, even
getting Elgin set into position for that pretty shooting star press he
uses. But The Canadian Crazy Horse had it scouted and was able to move
out of the way, immediately putting Brooks into a Canadian Crossface.
Brooks had no options, he had to tap out. im sure that wont make
Christian Able and the other members of the Michigan Militia too happy.

Match 6

"Quick" Carter Grey w/ Kimberly Ka$h pinned Ricochet

Ricochet
dazzled the crowd with the running backflip up the wall entrance that
we enjoy. I didnt get to see all of this match because i was having
problems with the company credit card machine (Sox, couldnt you wait
till int. to get your KOTDM tix? ),
but what i did see was a lot of interference by Ka$h, for which she was
met with chants of "Booze Hag". Quick was able to hit Ricochet with the
box cutter for the pinfall victory.

end hour 1

Ian had a
few announcements: the 11th entrant into KOTDM is BJW star Masada! the
KOTDM finals this year will be a 4 man final, in other words only 3
rounds.

Match 7

Juice Robinson beat Jason Dukes

Dukes
hit Juice with a flip through the top and second rope from the ring to
the floor to which i saw Dukes look a fan directly in the face and say
"pretty good shit huh?". Dukes went for a high cross body off the top
that Juice rolled over for the pin. Dukes was not happy about this, he
got a chair and after a shot to Juice's ribs Dukes hits a reverse
Kennedy roll on the chair. Dukes is boo'd all the way to the back.

Match 8

Michael Elgin pinned Jason Hades

Hades
went for a Killswitch early, Elgin reversed it into a Alabama slam.
Hades fought back and positioned Elgin for, and hit him with, a top
rope frog splash for a near fall. Hades then again tried to get the
burly Canadian in position for the Killswitch, Elgin reversed it right
into a Canadian Crossface that Hades was able to get out of but right
into a Davy Boy power slam for the 3 count. This match was followed by
a thunderous IWA chant, followed by a "Hades" chant. While he was on
his way to the back Elgin was attacked by Kris Chambers, Hades helped
to run him off.

Match 9

Zach Gowen pinned Kris Chambers

Good
back and forth action until Chambers thought he was going to use Zach's
prosthetic leg against him as a weapon, that prompted Elgin to make a
ring side appearance in the match. While Chambers was distracted with
Elgin, Gowen hit Chambers with a low blow, that allowed him to use the
leg against Chambers, and sets up the one legged moonsault for the
pinfall victory.

Match 10

Ricochet pinned Devon Moore

Before
the bell Ricochet slingshot himself over the top rope as Devon was
still making his entrance. The match continued outside, there was a
spot off the stage but i was unable to see it. Devonm hit Ricochet with
the SSP off the apron to the floor, but Devon would fall to a double
and a half senton by Ricochet. Both men shook hands after the match.
There was a "thank you Devon " chant after the match

Match 11

Trik Davis w/ Ali and Chuck E. Smooth beat Egotistico Fantastico

Ego
came out with his shoulder wrapped. Trik tried to steal Ego's "sit a
guy in a chair and hit him with a flying clothesline" spot(while
wearing Ego's cape) but, while Ego was sat in the chair, he saw Trik
coming, and was able to trip him up with a drop toe hold, face first
into the chair Ego was sitting in. Trik was able to gather himself up
to sit in the chair and while Chuck and Ali were tending to him Ego was
able to regain his cape and dive over Ali and Chuck and hit Trik with a
flying clothesline, smashing a chair in the process. Chuck and Ali,
still sporting Ego's mask, interfered in this match as much as they
could. Ego hit Trik with the Taco Pizza into the turnbuckle, as he set
him up on his shoulders to finish him of, Chuck grabbed Tricks hands,
Ego was able to pull Chuck into the ring, as the ref turns to get Chuck
out of the ring, Ali low blows Ego and that allows Trick to get the
pinfall.

Match 12

Quick Carter Grey w/ Kimberly Ka$h beat Dingo to become the new IWA-MS World
Light Heavyweight Champion

The
ring could not contain this match, these wrestlers brawled all over the
arena. Dingo was able to irish whip Quick into the chairs, followed by
an irish whip into the brick wall. The next significant action was when
Quick colided with the ref, knocking him down and out, Dingo used the
opportunity to hit Quick with a fishermans buster. Dingo went for the
cover but there was no ref to make the count, the crowd counted
loudly...1....2....3. That is when Ka$h saw her chance to help, she
jumped on the apron and distracted Dingo. Quick was able to regain his
senses and dug into his apparel and pulled a bag of powder and hit
Dingo in the face not only once, but twice, with the powder. At that
moment Jason Hades appeared to attempt to nullify Ka$h who was still on
the apron and trying to hand Quick some kind of foreign object. He was
unable to stop her and Quick hit Dingo with the silver piece of metal,
and then shoved in Hades' trunks while his back was turned. The ref
comes too and Dingo is pinned. Quick is the new IWA-MS World Light
Heavyweight Champion. Hades tends to Dingo who has been busted open,
Dingo finds the object in Hades trunks and was not happy with this
finding at all. Dingo screamed "why did you do it Hades" to which Hades
could only reply "i didnt do it". Hades exits the ring only to have
Dingo follow him, accusing him all the way. Hades had had enough and
the two former LTHW Champions shove each other to the locker room area.


end hour 2

Match 13

Ricochet won a 6 way match for the #1 Contendership to the World Light
Heavyweight  Title

Too
much action in this one, im not even gonna try to put it into words.
Here are the facts, this match was tag style, 4 men on each corner, 2
in the ring. This match had Ricochet, Prince Mustafa Ali, T.D., Sal
Thomaselli, Devon Moore, and Troy Walters. Ricochet pinned Sal for the
victory. After the match Quick and Ka$h appeared on the sound stage
Quick grabbed a mic and stated that none of these guys would ever get a
shot at "his" title, and that he has another booking next month, so
there will be no title defense. Ian gets a mic and informs Quick that
if he is not in Joliet on Feb. 7th, he will be stripped of the title
and he and Ka$h will both be fired. Ian also says Quick will defend
against Dingo AND Hades on the 7th. Quick is then chased from the ring
area by all the participants of the match.
side note: Ali took a
nasty fall from the top to the floor. the extent of his injury is not
known at this time. i didnt see exactly what happened but it appeared
to be his knee that was injured.

We hope that everyone that is in the Joliet area comes out to support our TV
taping this weekend especially after the severity of the weather with the snow
and the -30 wind chills in the area have kept us from being able to successfully
flyer for the event.  This television taping is a huge opportunity for us and
the bigger and the louder the crowd the better our chances of getting picked up
by the television station.  We hope to see everyone there on Saturday night for
a great night of wrestling action.

IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title Match

Dingo vs. Quick Carter Gray

Dingo
will be making a Light Heavyweight Title defense against one of the
most prolific high flyers in IWA today in Quick Carter Gray. Quick was
unable to wrest the title away from former champion Jason Hades but he
was quick to issue a challenge to the new champion. Dingo welcomes all
challengers and would be more than happy to test his skills against the
up and coming sensation. Will Dingo be able to keep up his winning ways
with twice the people gunning for him or will Dingo rise to the
challenge and continue his domination of the heavyweight division and
add the light heavyweight division to it as well?

Strong Style Showdown

"New Horror" Sami Callihan vs. B Boy

There
isn't much that needs to be said about this match. This is a dream
fight for long time IWA fans. Sami Callihan wants to prove that he is
much more than the new flavor of the month and that he is the future
franchise of the IWA. What better way to prove that potential than to
go toe to toe with the returning B Boy? B Boy has proven his dominance
all over the United States: west coast (PWG); east coast (CZW) &
everywhere in between (IWA). B Boy retired for a spell to recover from
the abuse his body had been through and is back and as hungry as ever
to see who the pretenders are and who the real motherf*ckin G's are!

Light Heavyweight Contenders Match

Prince Mustafa Ali vs. "Notorious" Devon Moore

Prince
Mustafa Ali came up just short in several attempts to win the light
heavyweight title from Jason Hades. With a new champion, all the old
contenders have to reprove themselves as worthy contenders. Ali will
have his hands full as he battles the reigning KOTDM in Devon Moore.
Devon wants to prove that he may be "Notorious" due to his KOTDM
victory but that he is just as notorious for being able to go in
regular matches as well. Which may will climb higher up the ladder to
earning a light heavyweight title shot down the road?

Grudge Match

Egotistico Fantastico vs. Trik Davis

Ego
has had nothing but problems with Smooth Operations since they teamed
together. The majority of his beef is with Ali but Ego has a score or
two to settle with one Trikory Davis as well. What better way to settle
those scores than to get a victory on a tv taping that might
potentially be seen by thousands of people?

Heavyweight Title Contenders Match

"Canadian Crazy Horse" Michael Elgin vs. Jason Hades

Jason
Hades has been granted a rematch vs. Dingo but only for the light
heavyweight title. Dingo refuses to give him a chance at the
heavyweight title unless Hades proves worthy by beating some
heavyweight contenders. The first one up for Hades...the "Canadian
Crazy Horse" Michael Elgin. Can Hades earn the victory and inch closer
to getting another shot at the HEAVYWEIGHT title or will he be forced
to make the best of his rematch for the LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT title on
February 7th and go from there?


Also Signed to appear at this event:

this very important card in IWA history.

Friday night, January 23, 2009
The Bellevue Plaza
325 Bellevue Avenue
Bellevue, IL
8 pm belltime
Tickets: $15 ringside & $10 bleachers

IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title

Dingo vs.
  Jimmy Jacobs

This
title shot was going to go to Ian Rotten on the original date of the
show. At the Jan. 3 Joliet show, Ian gave his title shot to Jimmy
Jacobs and said that if it was Jimmy's destiny to regain the title and
rectify the mistakes of the past...then it was time for it happen. Jim
Fannin didn't feel the same way and almost had heart failure on the
stage and swore that he wouldn't let it happen. Will Jimmy fulfill his
destiny or does destiny have other plans for Jimmy Jacobs?

Battle of TNA Knockouts
Mickie Knuckles vs. Payton Banks a.k.a. Rain

Mickie
and Rain have a long history in IWA Mid-South. They had a series of
great matches back in 2005 that saw Mickie on the winning side more
times than not. In 2004, Rain was able control the feud. It has been a
couple of years since these two have tangled but there is still no love
lost between them. Will Mickie run roughshot over Rain or will Rain use
her beauty and her brains to distract the referee and get a victory
over the Redneck Woman? Mickie will be at a disadvantage due to her
recovering broken leg but she won't use that as an excuse. Be in
Bellevue to see who the better TNA Knockout is and perhaps the winner
will be one step closer to returning to TNA?

DAVID vs. GOLIATH
Ricochet vs. The Necro Butcher

Ricochet
is one of the top high flyers in IWA. However, he probably only weighs
in at about 175 pounds. Necro is going to have at least a 100 pound
weight advantage. Can Ricochet use his quickness and aerial ability to
stay away from the madman known for destroying his opponents? Will
Necro use his size and strength to ground Ricochet and beat him to a
pulp? This is the ultimate styles clash matchup in IWA and it could
very well be the last time that Ricochet ever steps into a ring if he
can't stay away from the Necro Butcher.

Heavyweight Title Contenders Match

"New Horror" Sami Callihan vs. Tyler Black

Sami
Callihan's new year resolution is to prove to everyone by the end of
2009 that HE is the franchise and the future of IWA. He desperately
wants to be thought of as the Chris Hero of 2000 - 2004 in IWA history.
The guy that can do it all and wrestle anyone and not only win but win
over the fans as well. He's been a finalist in TPI, Strong Style and
Candido Cup. He's gotten victories in Double Death and over Mickie
Knuckles and Ian Rotten. The next thing on his checklist is to beat up
a former IWA Mid-South light heavyweight champion with tremendous hype
and fanfare on the internet. Can Sami top the MTV, ROH star or does he
still have more to accomplish before establishing himself as the
franchise?

Light Heavyweight Contenders Positioning Match

Trik Davis vs. Shane Hollister

Shane
Hollister will be making his IWA Mid-South debut and he has drawn a
very tough customer in Trikory Davis. While a victory in his debut
won't guarantee him a title shot, it will go a long way in guaranteeing
that he returns to IWA and that he will be taken seriously. If Trik
wins, whether by hook or by crook, the former IWA heavyweight champion
could see himself in title contention for the light heavyweight title.
Hollister has a lot of good press and hype behind him coming in to IWA.
Will he fold under the pressure or will we have another young rising
star in the IWA ranks in 2009?

Also appearing on the show:

Egotistico Fantastico

Ian & Axl Rotten - The Bad Breed

Jason Hades

Much much more.

Tables, Ladders & Chairs Grudge Match

Grits N Gravy (Elgin & Sami) vs. Michigan Militia (Brooks & Skyline) vs. Sex
Drugs & Wrestling (Chambers & Ash)

Elgin
teamed with Chambers at the first Bellevue show to take on the Militia.
Chambers turned on Elgin disgusted that he was using Sami Callihan as a
tag partner. That somehow was a betrayal to his Canadian roots.
Chambers promised that Elgin would never be able to get another
Canadian to team with him...including his former tag partner and man he
came to IWA with, Ash. It allowed the Militia to get a victory over
Elgin. Elgin and Chambers started an impromptu match against each other
when the Militia got involved again. They beat down both Elgin and
Chambers leading to the need for a 3 way. In order to make it a little
more interesting...tables, ladders and chairs will be allowed. Will the
Canadians side with the Militia or Grits N Gravy to make it 4 on 2
until the Militia is taken care of or will the past friendship of Elgin
and Ash mean nothing and every team fend for themselves? Maybe Sex
Drugs & Wrestling will work with the Militia to prove a point to
Elgin. The only thing known for sure is that chaos will ensue!

Much more to be announced for this event.  Stay tuned to the message board for

Tickets: $20 & $15

IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title Match

Dingo vs. Jason Hades

Jason
Hades has used his mandatory rematch clause in his contract as the
former champion to get another shot at Dingo. Dingo is only allowing
him to go after the Light Heavyweight title since that is what Hades
contract gives him the power to get a rematch for. These two had a
tremendous matchup on January 3rd and Hades came up just short in his
attempt to become the unified champion. He was in the hospital with a
flu bug the day before the event and says that is why he was unable to
go to 2 - 0 against Dingo. Dingo doesn't want to hear excuses and says
that he beat Hades clean in the middle of the ring. These two will go
at it one more time...this time it won't be for all the marbles
though...just the World Light Heavyweight Title.

Much more to be announced for this event.  Stay tuned to the message board for

Ian and Patti received an email from a local Chicago
television station that asked if we would be interested in putting
together a demo of an one hour TV show in an attempt to get put onto

Ian and Patti received an email from a local Chicago
television station that asked if we would be interested in putting
together a demo of an one hour TV show in an attempt to get put onto

time limitation, and the availability of the Hartman Rec Center, this

or the February 7th shows, you will receive $5 off your ticket for that

Ian is going to try to put together the top card that he can for this
taping so it will take a day or two to get ahold of everyone and check
their availability.

We hope our fans turn out for this taping
with great enthusiasm to make this as great of a demo for TV as
possible. A packed house of rowdy and wild wrestling fans with good
wrestling will only help our chances.

We'll see everyone in Joliet on the 17th!

IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title Match

Dingo vs. Jason Hades

Jason
Hades has used his mandatory rematch clause in his contract as the
former champion to get another shot at Dingo. Dingo is only allowing
him to go after the Light Heavyweight title since that is what Hades
contract gives him the power to get a rematch for. These two had a
tremendous matchup on January 3rd and Hades came up just short in his
attempt to become the unified champion. He was in the hospital with a
flu bug the day before the event and says that is why he was unable to
go to 2 - 0 against Dingo. Dingo doesn't want to hear excuses and says
that he beat Hades clean in the middle of the ring. These two will go
at it one more time...this time it won't be for all the marbles
though...just the World Light Heavyweight Title.

Much more to be announced for this event.  Stay tuned to the message board for

In an effort to try and space out our larger events, we
will be switching around the dates for our bigger shows in cutting back
on some events. So the schedule will be as follows:

2009 King Of

Center on Friday and Saturday night, March 6 & 7, 2009. Tickets
will go on sale for this event New Years Day at noon. 2 day passes for

admission and will be $50 for a 2 day pass.

2009 Ted Petty
Invitational will be held June 5th and 6th, 2009 and tickets will go on
sale for that event the 1st weekend in March.

Then come October, we hope to have a hug 13 year Anniversary Show.

Before people start asking, there will be no Queen of the Death Matches, Double
Death, Strong Style, or Candido Cup in 2009.

Hopefully
this will give everyone the heads up and that this new format works out
well for everyone. Take care, have a safe and Merry Christmas.

board and discussing IWA with all our fans.

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Ghetto Superstar was played and all the wrestlers came to the ring to give
Rollin Hard a 10 Bell Salute.

1.  Jason Dukes w/ Chrissy Rivera def. Juice Robinson

This
was Juice's IWA debut and he has only been wrestling for about a month.
He is a student of Truth Martini's that has a very bushy blonde afro.
He put in a really good showing for himself in this match but the
veteran trickster with help from Chrissy was able to gain the victory
following an inverted Finlay Roll (he had Juice in a torture rack
before going into the flip/roll) and then hit a top rope legdrop onto
the back of Juice's head.

2.  Ricochet def. Johnathon Davis & T.D in a 3 way dance

TD
was making his return to IWA after a few impressive showings back in
the summer of 2008. Davis was the man that wrestled Bill the Butcher on
the first tryout show. There was a lot of good high flying action in
this one and Ricochet got the pinfall victory following a Shooting Star
Press.

3. Grits N Gravy def. Hooligans, Ian
Rotten/Mickie Knuckles, Michigan Militia (Brooks & Skyline),
Christian Able/Josh Raymond, Greg Excellent/Old Timer Jeff King,
Popular Electronics (Gameboy & Hype Shalwin) and Kris
Chambers/Corey Mason in a tag team rumble

This was an
over the top rope battle royal where both members of the team had to be
eliminated. The match started with Able/Raymond vs. Chambers/Mason for
three minutes. Then the Michigan Militia entered. After that, every
minute another team entered. The results are listed in the reverse
order of elimination so Elgin & Sami last eliminated the Hooligans
for the victory by taking the last Hooligan and throwing him over the
top onto his partner with a Double Splash Mountain Bomb.

4.  Necro Butcher def. Bill the Butcher via TKO


All
I can say is WOW. They beat the hell out of each other. This was just a
pure slugfest. Bill had a black swollen eye at the end of the night and
Necro was a little punchdrunk as well. Necro gets the victory after
flooring Bill with a right cross to the jaw and then sitting on top of
him and slugging away to his face until the ref stopped it.

5.  The Soul Touchaz def. The Soul Shooters

C
Red came out dressed like Acid Jazz after the Shooters had entered the
ring. They were yelling at Red as Marshe & Trauma came through the
front door and jumped them from behind. This was a fight from the
beginning to the end. Trauma pushed Marshe over while he was on top of
one of the Shooters shoulders and he rolled him up into a sunset flip
for the win. The Shooters attacked after the match however and duct
taped Marshe & Trauma to the ropes and then they destroyed C Red
with a Soul Bomb (Q off the top rope for added momentum on the
powerbomb). C Red was carried back to the dressing room.

6.  Roderick Strong def. Michael Elgin

This
was as hard hitting as one would expect. Chops, forearms and kicks that
were brutal. Elgin hit the Canadian Stampede but Roddy kicked out.
Elgin missed a top rope splash and Roddy hit him with a shining wizard
for the victory.

7.  Trik Davis/Prince Mustafa Ali def. Egotistico Fantastico/Chuck Taylor

Trik
& Ali come out by themselves and announce that they have fired Joey
Eastman. They then introduced their new manager...Britney Spears
Boyfriend...Chuckie Smooth. Smooth then rips apart every member of the
crowd on one of the sides of the ring and announces that he got them a
match against Ego but that Ego would have no partner. Ego came out and
went to the DJ table and whispered to John Calvin and the music played
and Chuck Taylor came out to be Ego's partner. The highlight for me was
when Ali went for the Shoe Bomb but Chuck outsmarted him and used the
invisible grenade to top the shoe bomb. He tossed the grenade into the
air and when Ali went to catch it, Chuck grabbed the shoe and slapped
Ali in the face with it. He then shoved the grenade and the shoe bomb
into Ali's tights and then gave him an atomic drop. However the 3 on 2
advantage was too much and they ended up ripping off the mask of Ego
and when Ego dropped to the canvas to cover and hide his identity, he
got rolled up for the pin. Ali and Trik left with the mask.

8.  Jimmy Jacobs def. Sami Callihan

This
was just a back and forth battle that saw both men come close to
winning on several occassions. Sami with his lariats and clutch
submissions. Jimmy with his back centons and front facelock chokes.
They brawled to the floor and Jimmy ran up the ringpost and hit contra
code onto an open green chair on the floor. He rolled Sami back into
the ring but Sami was able to kick out. You could tell that both men
had studied film on each other and had moves well scouted as Sami was
able to counter spears and Jimmy was able to avoid the sit down lariat.
With 2 minutes left in the time limit, Jimmy slapped on the choke again
and got Sami to tap out.

Ian then came to the ring and said that
he had a match lined up for whoever won the Hades/Dingo match for the
Bellevue show on the 23rd. He then talked about all the great things
that Jimmy has done in the past. He then asked Jimmy if he thought it
was his destiny to once again become IWA champion and if he would
promise to treat the title with respect if he won it again. Jimmy
promised that he would so Ian gave him the title shot at the Bellevue
show. This caused Jim Fannin to damn near have a heart attack on the
stage and promise that he would do whatever it takes to make sure that
Jimmy doesn't win the belt.

9.  Dingo def. Jason Hades to unify the Heavyweight & Lt. Hvy Titles

This
matchup had the crowd on the edge of their seats until it went to the
floor and everyone had to scatter. Way too many near falls to remember
them all. Hades laid Dingo across a chair on the floor and did a double
foot stomp off the stage onto Dingo but only got two. Hades even hit a
Killswitch but Dingo kicked out. Dingo hit a couple of piledrivers but
Hades kicked out. Hades went for a triangle choke but Dingo picked him
up with brute strength and did a few powerbombs to break the hold and
got a 2 99/100 count. He then fought off a last ditch attempt for
another Killswitch by Hades and delivered a Fireman Carry Slam and got
the pin to unify the titles.

Hades gives him kudos but says that
he was in the hospital all day yesterday with a flu bug and getting
IVs. He then asks for a rematch since this makes them 1 - 1 in head to
head matches. At this point, Keith Walker comes running in from nowhere
and beheads Dingo with a clothesline. Hades tries to check on Dingo but
Walker destroys Hades. Gameboy gets abused. The Soul Touchaz are no
match. Mickie Knuckles comes out and Walker scoffs at her forearm
shivers and chokeslams her. Ian comes out and ball tags Walker from
behind and goes to check on Mickie but Walker picks him up and delivers
a massive chokebomb. Roderick comes to the ring and finally Keith
Walker leaves the ring and yells at Roderick that they will do battle
another day when he hasn't already destroyed about 10 people.

Trik Davis and Prince Mustafa Ali then come out and shake Walker's hand and they
leave the building.

Out With The Old, In With The New
Saturday night, January 3, 2009
Hartman Rec Center
511 N. Collins Street
Joliet, IL
7:30 pm belltime
Tickets in advance:  $20, $15, $10 (paypal to rottenwife@...)
Tickets at door:  $25, $20, $15

IWA Mid-South Heavyweight Title vs. Light Heavyweight Title

Dingo vs. Jason Hades

These
two men have dominated IWA Mid-South in 2008. Dingo has taken on all
challengers for his heavyweight title and defeated them all. He has
finally squashed the dreams of Drake Younger and beaten his biggest foe
for the final time. Drake can't challenge for the title again as long
as Dingo remains champion. Who is next in line to challenge Dingo? How
about the last man to defeat him in IWA? Jason Hades has been on an
equally impressive roll in IWA and even has a victory over Dingo before
Dingo won the title. Hades issued the challenge at the end of the
Candido Cup and Dingo promised to walk out with both titles in a
"cakewalk." Who will be the last man standing with all the IWA titles
when this one ends?

Grudge Match

Da Soul Touchaz (Trauma & Marshe) vs. The Soul Shooters

Da
Soul Touchaz (Marshe Rockett & Acid Jazz) won the 2008 Candido Cup
but in the process, Jazz broke his leg and dislocated his ankle. If
that wasn't bad enough, then the Soul Shooters (Dru & Q Skillz) ran
in and attacked the injured Jazz and Marshe before Trauma could run
them off. This time the Soul Touchaz know that the Soul Shooters are
coming. Which team will prove to have all the Soul in the IWA?

Battle of the Butchers

Necro Butcher vs. Bill the Butcher

Bill
the Butcher made quite the impression on IWA fans at the tryout show
and they immediately started thinking about how great a match vs. Necro
would be. Necro is always looking for a fight and is more than ready to
test the new kid on the block to see if he is all hype or the real
deal. Join us in Joliet to find out if Bill is ready to make the giant
leap and can stand toe to toe with the Necro Butcher!

Also on the card:

Strong Style Showdown

Roderick Strong vs.  Michael Elgin

Roderick
won the Revolution Strong Style Tournament. Michael Elgin is a former
IWA Strong Style Champion. These two are probably hands down the
hardest choppers in IWA right now. Who will be able to come out on top
in this showdown between two of the toughest in the independents? Can
the Messiah of the Backbreaker get the bigger Elgin up for one of his
backbreakers? Can Elgin ground and pound the RSST champion? One thing
is definite...they are going to hit each other so hard that even the
fans in attendance will be able to feel it!

Battle For Positioning as Contender for IWA Title

Jimmy Jacobs vs. "New Horror" Sami Callihan

Sami
has been on an undeniable roll in IWA. He made it to the finals of TPI,
RSST and Double Death. While making it to the finals was quite an
accomplishment for Sami, he is pissed that he failed to win all three
times. He has made Ian Rotten submit and beat Mickie Knuckles in her
return from a broken leg. Now he has his sights set on Jimmy Jacobs.
Jimmy is the 2nd longest reigning IWA heavyweight champion in history.
He has come up short in his quest to get that title back against Chuck
Taylor and Dingo. The quickest way to get another shot is to beat the
man who made it to 3 tournament finals in IWA in a calendar year. Can
Sami continue on his roll and perhaps become a number one contender to
the heavyweight title or will Jimmy Jacobs use him as a stepping stone
to get back to where he wants to be?

This show (originally scheduled for Jan 2) has been postponed for a few weeks

announcement about this but with everything that has gone on but we just feel
that the show would suffer if it were still done on Friday.

The show in Joliet is still going to occur on Saturday.

We are going to try to keep the lineup as close to the same on the 23rd as to
what it was.

but in the process, Jazz broke his leg and dislocated his ankle. If
that wasn't bad enough, then the Soul Shooters (Dru & Q Skillz) ran
in and attacked the injured Jazz and Marshe before Trauma could run
them off. This time the Soul Touchaz know that the Soul Shooters are
coming. Which team will prove to have all the Soul in the IWA?

Battle of the Butchers

Necro Butcher vs. Bill the Butcher

Bill
the Butcher made quite the impression on IWA fans at the tryout show
and they immediately started thinking about how great a match vs. Necro
would be. Necro is always looking for a fight and is more than ready to
test the new kid on the block to see if he is all hype or the real
deal. Join us in Joliet to find out if Bill is ready to make the giant
leap and can stand toe to toe with the Necro Butcher!

Also on the card:

Strong Style Showdown

Roderick Strong vs.  Michael Elgin

Roderick
won the Revolution Strong Style Tournament. Michael Elgin is a former
IWA Strong Style Champion. These two are probably hands down the
hardest choppers in IWA right now. Who will be able to come out on top
in this showdown between two of the toughest in the independents? Can
the Messiah of the Backbreaker get the bigger Elgin up for one of his
backbreakers? Can Elgin ground and pound the RSST champion? One thing
is definite...they are going to hit each other so hard that even the
fans in attendance will be able to feel it!

Battle For Positioning as Contender for IWA Title

Jimmy Jacobs vs. "New Horror" Sami Callihan

Sami
has been on an undeniable roll in IWA. He made it to the finals of TPI,
RSST and Double Death. While making it to the finals was quite an
accomplishment for Sami, he is pissed that he failed to win all three
times. He has made Ian Rotten submit and beat Mickie Knuckles in her
return from a broken leg. Now he has his sights set on Jimmy Jacobs.
Jimmy is the 2nd longest reigning IWA heavyweight champion in history.
He has come up short in his quest to get that title back against Chuck
Taylor and Dingo. The quickest way to get another shot is to beat the
man who made it to 3 tournament finals in IWA in a calendar year. Can
Sami continue on his roll and perhaps become a number one contender to
the heavyweight title or will Jimmy Jacobs use him as a stepping stone
to get back to where he wants to be?

*************************************************************
In an effort to try and space out our larger events, we
will be switching around the dates for our bigger shows in cutting back
on some events. So the schedule will be as follows:

2009 King Of
The Death Matches will take place in Joliet, IL at the Hartman Rec
Center on Friday and Saturday night, March 6 & 7, 2009. Tickets

Then come October, we hope to have a hug 13 year Anniversary Show.

Before people start asking, there will be no Queen of the Death Matches, Double
Death, Strong Style, or Candido Cup in 2009.

There is no amount of
time that allows you to prepare yourself for the inevitable when you
want to hope against hope for a different outcome.

I can't even
begin to put into words the heartbreak that I am feeling right now over
losing a friend and yet another former member of the Fannin Family over
the years. I could take a little solace in knowing that in a matter of
moments, Chris Candido/JProdigy/Rollin will be winning the 6 Man Tag
Championship in Heaven. However, the true solace comes from knowing
that my friend got exactly what he wanted: Christmas at home with his
family and then an end to all the pain and agony that had filled his
life.

Rollin Hard was a fighter right until the end and that is
why he will always be a champion and role model in my eyes. He fought
this thing for so long and so hard that he became an inspiration to
many. Hopefully everyone on this board and other wrestling boards is a
little more aware of colon cancer and will be getting checkups to make
sure that they don't have to endure what my friend has. Early detection
can be a life saver and that would then make Rollin a life saver.

Rollin
will always have a special place in my heart. When I started in
wrestling, Mitch Page and myself always talked about how I would manage
him while we were doing security and setting up the ring. I started
managing Ian at first to break in so he could give me on the job
training and help me from anear. Since I was good friends with Ian, it
almost felt like I hadn't "earned" it just yet since he was leading me
and showing me the way.

It was when I made my break away from
Ian and got to manage on my own that I felt like I had begun to "earn"
my spot. The first two people that I managed were Mitch and Rollin.
Rollin was my first heavyweight champion after the two Ian won with me
as a manager. I will always remember how excited and thrilled Rollin
was when he won the IWA title. He took all kinds of pictures at home
with the belt and I hope Angie and the kids still have those pictures
to remember that great time in Rollin's life.

I'll always
remember the IWA softball team and how Rollin along with Corporal and
Cash were like the only good players and Rollin was the only one to hit
a home run over the fence on the team. The games were on Monday nights
so the guys would still be sore as hell and beat up from Saturday night
but it was such a fun time for all of us even though we lost every time
we didn't play the Dixie Highway Fire Department.

I'll also
always remember the last time I saw Rollin. Mitch and I went to visit
him and watch the UK/Florida football game a couple of months ago. It
was a perfect visit where we could talk Cubs, Bears, UK sports and just
have a normal day.

Rollin was an inspiration and a hero and one of the toughest men that I ever got
the honor to meet.  He will be sorely missed.

I
love you Rollin and I'm so thankful that I got to meet you and to know
that you are in a much better place and finally feeling no pain.

RIP and say hi to JProdigy and Candido for me behind the pearly gates.

IWA Mid-South Upcoming Schedule of Events

Friday night, January 2, 2009
The Bellevue Plaza
325 Bellevue Avenue
Bellevue, IL
8 pm belltime
Tickets: $15 ringside & $10 bleachers

IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title

Dingo vs. Ian Rotten

Dingo
has been on an impressive roll since winning the IWA Mid-South title in
the beginning of the summer. Roderick has travel issues that will keep
him off of this show but he will be in Joliet the next night. Trevor
Murdock is going to be in Japan and unable to attend. Therefore, the
title match has been changed to Dingo defending against Ian Rotten.
Even if Dingo survives, will he be in any condition to fend off the
challenge of Jason Hades the next night?


IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title Match

Jason Hades vs. Ryan Phoenix

Ryan
Phoenix issued this challenge at the first show in Bellevue a couple of
weeks ago. He knows that he has never won a match in IWA but he is the
hometown boy trying to live out a dream. Will the hometown fans be able
to cheer on Phoenix to a stunning upset? Will Hades be focused enough
on the challenge of a huge underdog with the career defining title vs.
title match looming the next night?

Tables, Ladders & Chairs Grudge Match

Grits N Gravy (Elgin & Sami) vs. Michigan Militia (Brooks & Skyline) vs. Sex
Drugs & Wrestling (Chambers & Ash)

Elgin
teamed with Chambers at the first Bellevue show to take on the Militia.
Chambers turned on Elgin disgusted that he was using Sami Callihan as a
tag partner. That somehow was a betrayal to his Canadian roots.
Chambers promised that Elgin would never be able to get another
Canadian to team with him...including his former tag partner and man he
came to IWA with, Ash. It allowed the Militia to get a victory over
Elgin. Elgin and Chambers started an impromptu match against each other
when the Militia got involved again. They beat down both Elgin and
Chambers leading to the need for a 3 way. In order to make it a little
more interesting...tables, ladders and chairs will be allowed. Will the
Canadians side with the Militia or Grits N Gravy to make it 4 on 2
until the Militia is taken care of or will the past friendship of Elgin
and Ash mean nothing and every team fend for themselves? Maybe Sex
Drugs & Wrestling will work with the Militia to prove a point to
Elgin. The only thing known for sure is that chaos will ensue!

DAVID vs. GOLIATH
Ricochet vs. The Necro Butcher

Ricochet
is one of the top high flyers in IWA. However, he probably one weighs
in at about 175 pounds. Necro is going to have at least a 100 pound
weight advantage. Can Ricochet use his quickness and aerial ability to
stay away from the madman known for destroying his opponents? Will
Necro use his size and strength to ground Ricochet and beat him to a
pulp? This is the ultimate styles clash matchup in IWA and it could
very well be the last time that Ricochet ever steps into a ring if he
can't stay away from the Necro Butcher.

Light Heavyweight Contender's Match
Chuck Taylor vs. The Yellow Dog w/ Classie Lassie

While
the winner of this match won't be guaranteed a light heavyweight title
shot, it would definitely go a long way in moving up the ladder and
getting closer to a title shot. Chuck Taylor is a former IWA Mid-South
World Heavyweight Champion (the longest reigning one in IWA history),
IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Champion and IWA Mid-South
Women's Champion. He's been out with an injury since taking a nasty
spill at the 2008 TPI vs. Cassandro and is ready to once again stake
his claim to be one of the top performers in IWA. The Yellow Dog has
become an instant fan favorite with his zany performances. If the fans
don't like the zaniness, the men definitely like the beauty of Classie
Lassie being ringside with him. This match is sure to entertain, if not
athletically then definitely comically.

New Matches

2 Out of 3 Falls
Egotistico Fantastico vs. Prince Mustafa Ali

Prince
Mustafa Ali demanded to be in the TPI after losing a match against
Egotistico Fantastico. Ali claimed it was only racism that kept him out
of the prestigious tournament. Ian agreed to let him into the TPI but
made his first round matchup a rematch against Ego. Ego won that match
too and went one to be one of the MVPs of the tournament. Ali has
failed a couple of times at wresting the light heavyweight title from
Hades and in order to get another crack at the title he needs to prove
himself by taking out his old nemesis Ego. Can Ali defeat Ego not only
once but do it twice in the same night to get the victory? Will Ali use
the shoe bomb and the weapons of mass destruction or will Ego keep him
at bay with Taco Pizza? Either way, the crowd is sure to be the winner
in this one as two of the top young guys in IWA tear into each other to
start the new year on a roll!

Battle of TNA Knockouts
Mickie Knuckles vs. Payton Banks a.k.a. Rain

Mickie
and Rain have a long history in IWA Mid-South. They had a series of
great matches back in 2005 that saw Mickie on the winning side more
times than not. In 2004, Rain was able control the feud. It has been a
couple of years since these two have tangled but there is still no love
lost between them. Will Mickie run roughshot over Rain or will Rain use
her beauty and her brains to distract the referee and get a victory
over the Redneck Woman? Mickie will be at a disadvantage due to her
recovering broken leg but she won't use that as an excuse. Be in
Bellevue to see who the better TNA Knockout is and perhaps the winner
will be one step closer to returning to TNA?

Out With The Old, In With The New
Saturday night, January 3, 2009

Tickets at door:  $25, $20, $15

IWA Mid-South Heavyweight Title vs. Light Heavyweight Title

Dingo vs. Jason Hades

These
two men have dominated IWA Mid-South in 2008. Dingo has taken on all
challengers for his heavyweight title and defeated them all. He has
finally squashed the dreams of Drake Younger and beaten his biggest foe
for the final time. Drake can't challenge for the title again as long
as Dingo remains champion. Who is next in line to challenge Dingo? How
about the last man to defeat him in IWA? Jason Hades has been on an
equally impressive roll in IWA and even has a victory over Dingo before
Dingo won the title. Hades issued the challenge at the end of the
Candido Cup and Dingo promised to walk out with both titles in a
"cakewalk." Who will be the last man standing with all the IWA titles
when this one ends?

Grudge Match

Da Soul Touchaz (Trauma & Marshe) vs. The Soul Shooters

Da
Soul Touchaz (Marshe Rockett & Acid Jazz) won the 2008 Candido Cup
but in the process, Jazz broke his leg and dislocated his ankle. If
that wasn't bad enough, then the Soul Shooters (Dru & Q Skillz) ran
in and attacked the injured Jazz and Marshe before Trauma could run
them off. This time the Soul Touchaz know that the Soul Shooters are
coming. Which team will prove to have all the Soul in the IWA?

Battle of the Butchers

Necro Butcher vs. Bill the Butcher

Bill
the Butcher made quite the impression on IWA fans at the tryout show
and they immediately started thinking about how great a match vs. Necro
would be. Necro is always looking for a fight and is more than ready to
test the new kid on the block to see if he is all hype or the real
deal. Join us in Joliet to find out if Bill is ready to make the giant
leap and can stand toe to toe with the Necro Butcher!

Also on the card:

Strong Style Showdown

Roderick Strong vs.  Michael Elgin

Roderick
won the Revolution Strong Style Tournament. Michael Elgin is a former
IWA Strong Style Champion. These two are probably hands down the
hardest choppers in IWA right now. Who will be able to come out on top
in this showdown between two of the toughest in the independents? Can
the Messiah of the Backbreaker get the bigger Elgin up for one of his
backbreakers? Can Elgin ground and pound the RSST champion? One thing
is definite...they are going to hit each other so hard that even the
fans in attendance will be able to feel it!

Battle For Positioning as Contender for IWA Title

Jimmy Jacobs vs. "New Horror" Sami Callihan

Sami
has been on an undeniable roll in IWA. He made it to the finals of TPI,
RSST and Double Death. While making it to the finals was quite an
accomplishment for Sami, he is pissed that he failed to win all three
times. He has made Ian Rotten submit and beat Mickie Knuckles in her
return from a broken leg. Now he has his sights set on Jimmy Jacobs.
Jimmy is the 2nd longest reigning IWA heavyweight champion in history.
He has come up short in his quest to get that title back against Chuck
Taylor and Dingo. The quickest way to get another shot is to beat the
man who made it to 3 tournament finals in IWA in a calendar year. Can
Sami continue on his roll and perhaps become a number one contender to
the heavyweight title or will Jimmy Jacobs use him as a stepping stone
to get back to where he wants to be?

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

1. Trik Davis w/ Prince Mustafa Ali def. Egotistico Fantastico

Ali and Ego have the 2 out of 3 falls match in Bellevue on January
2nd so Ali came to the ring with his tag partner Trik to run
interference. Ego had momentum after a multi revolution airplane spin
and then went for Taco Pizza. Ali grabbed a chair and tossed it into
the ring. Coyne Jones went to retrieve the chair and remove it from
the ring and Ali used the distraction to grab Ego around the neck and
cause him to let go before fully executing the Taco Pizza. Trik then
used the opportunity to rollup Ego and drape both feet across the
ropes to gain the pin.

2. Ian Rotten def. Old Timer Jeff King

Old Timer wrestled wearing his fanny pack. Ian kept unzipping the
fanny pack at every opportunity which kept pissing off King. Ian then
started taking the money out of Old Timer's fanny pack (mostly
change) making King even madder. Jeff King did pull a couple of
foreign objects out of the pack and used them including a bag of baby
powder. Ian kicked King's hand however and Coyne Jones took the brunt
of it but King also got the powder in his eyes. King stumbled into
Jones whom was on all fours. Jones ended up having King hooked and
Ian counted to three and awarded Coyne Jones his first victory in IWA.

2b. Coyne Jones def. Old Timer Jeff King

But back to Ian vs. King...Ian was then able to gain the pin on the
Old Timer in the confusion following getting pinned by the ref.

Old Timer did do a fine job of working over the shoulder of Ian with
several old fashioned knife edge tomahawk chops to the trapezious
area.

3. Gameboy w/ Hype Shalwin def. Corey Mason w/ Kris Chambers

Kris Chambers let everyone know how cool it was especially in Canada
to be a member of Sex Drugs and Wrestling or at least getting to hang
out with them...I think that is what he was saying more or less. I'm
not fluent in Canadian. He then told Mason that if he was impressive,
he'd be invited to join the group. Here's what I remember of the
match other than Gameboy using the Power Glove and powering up for
test of strength and claw holds: We've seen Deranged puke a few
times. We've seen Insane Lane puke. Tonight was the first time though
that we have seen projectile vomit. Towards the end of the match,
Corey Mason was in the ring by the ropes and projectile vomitted onto
the floor that reached the seats. Gameboy pinned him following that.
Not sure how as I was looking away from the ring. Chambers yelled at
Mason afterwards and Michael Elgin's music hits which led directly to:

4. Michael Elgin def. Kris Chambers

In the most hardcore move ever done in IWA...Michael Elgin caught a
diving Kris Chambers while on the floor and gave him a Death Valley
Driver into the puke. After returning to the ring, Elgin went for a
Super Splash Mountain Bomb off the ropes but Chambers turned it into
a rana and followed it with a top rope elbow but only got a two
count. Elgin eventually regained control with a running powerbomb
into the turnbuckle followed by a brainbuster but Chambers kicked
out. Elgin did get the pin though following a Splash Mountain Bomb.
Corey Mason then taunted Elgin and distracted him long enough to
allow Chambers to recover enough for the two of them to beat down
Elgin after the match.

5. Jason Hades def. Prince Mustafa Ali w/ Trik Davis to retain IWA
Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title

Ali came really close to ruining the January 3rd Title vs. Title
match. Ian Rotten on commentary though did say that no matter the
outcome of upcoming matches, it is Hades vs. Dingo on January 3rd
whether it is title vs. title or not. Hades suffered a knee injury in
the early going and Ali went after it with a vicious streak. He
applied a Camel Toe Clutch and everyone thought that Hades might be
forced to tap out but he held on. Hades goes for a Killswitch and
Trik jumps onto the apron. Ali charges but Hades moves and Ali and
Trik collide allowing Hades to get the rollup for the victory. Trik
and Ali attack Hades injured leg until Ego made a save. Mason and
Chambers then come running out to attack Hades & Ego mad that they
got a spot in Candido Cup while Chambers didn't get a chance to
replace Ash as his partner for the tournament. Their interference
brought out Hype and Gameboy. Challenges issued and we have an added
8 man tag.

6. Mickie Knuckles def. Kimberly Kash

Kash comes out limping and holding her leg mocking Mickie. After
Mickie comes out, Kash walks over to the stage and falls on the floor
screaming. Bad idea. Even worse idea...attacking the recovering leg
of Mickie. Kash even applied a deep deep deep cinched single leg
Boston crab on the bad leg. Mickie reached the ropes and then grabbed
ahold of Kimberly and choked her out for the victory.

7. Popular Electronics (Hype & Gameboy)/Egotistico Fantastico/Jason
Hades def. Prince Mustafa Ali/Trik Davis/Corey Mason/Kris Chambers

Trik got on the microphone before the other team came out and said
that they only way they are working twice on a charity show is if
they get the money from the gate intended for the after school
program if they win the match. That dastardly Trik Davis. The match
then starts as soon as Hades and company leave the dressing room.
Brawling galore all over the place. Multiple dives to the floor
including a BIG dive by Hype. While everyone is brawling, Ego and
Hades hit a double killswitch on Ali to get the pin and save the
money for the after school program at the Hartman Rec Center.

IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title Match
Jason Hades vs. Prince Mustafa Ali

Jason Hades has been on a tear in IWA Mid-South since winning the World
Light Heavyweight Title on April 12th at April Blood Showers.  He has
dominated (Jayson) Quick in a series of matches and defeated current
World Champion Dingo before Dingo won that title.  He also went on to
beat the longest reigning Light Heavyweight Champion in IWA history
(longest reigning out of any champion period) in Josh (Abercrombie)
Raymond.  Prince Mustafa Ali has also seen his name go down in the loss
column due to Jason Hades.  However, the rich Prince has a solid legal
team and a vocal mouthpiece led by Joey Eastman that keeps playing the
race card and using terms such as discrimination to keep Ali in the
title picture.  The most infuriating part of the whole thing is that Ali
is one of the best athletes in IWA and would be worthy of the title
shots without bringing politics into the title picture with him.  Will
Jason Hades be able to continue his impressive winning streak in IWA or
will Ali be able to catch him looking ahead to the showdown with Dingo
after the new year in the title vs. title showdown on January 3rd?

Women's Match
"Moose" Mickie Knuckles vs. Kimberly Kash

Mickie is returning from her broken femur and trying to get back into
her dominating style of wrestling and return to TNA.  Kimberly Kash is
still upset about losing back at Extreme Intentions on June 7th when
Mickie's spot in TNA was made available to her if she could beat Mickie.
No amount of cheating and interference could help her then but will it
be enough with Mickie still not at 100% after returning from the surgery
on her leg?

Light Heavyweight Contenders Match
Egotistico Fantastico vs. Trik Davis

This match could also be billed as a heavyweight contenders match as
well.  Trik Davis is a former IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Champion
and once held the currently defunct tag titles.  He would love nothing
more than to become an IWA triple crown winner by adding the World Light
Heavyweight Title to his list of accomplishments.  Ego has been right at
the top of the list of contenders for Dingo and he is right around the
weight limit for being eligible for the light heavyweight title.  He
came up just short against Dingo at the For The Love of Rollin show so
perhaps the Light Heavyweight Title could be closer to his grasp.  The
fans will be solidly behind Ego in this one as maybe only his tag
partner Prince Mustafa Ali is more hated by the IWA fans than Trik.
Will the fans be happy with this outcome or will Trik move a step closer
to his triple crown?

Special Challenge Grudge Match
"Canadian Crazy Horse" Michael Elgin vs. Kris Chambers

This battle between fellow Canadians will take place due to events that
transpired at Autumn Armaggedon in Bellevue, Illinois just recently.
Michael Elgin has been having a rough time in all of his IWA appearances
since the summer due to interference and attacks coming from the
Michigan Militia.  Elgin teamed with Chambers in Bellevue to take on the
Militia but Chambers turned on him.  Chambers called Elgin a sellout for
teaming with Sami Callihan whom is not Canadian.  Chambers promised
Elgin that he would never be able to get another Canadian to team with
him including the man he came to IWA with in the team of Pretty
Unreal...Ash.  These two will tangle in a 3 way dance tables, ladders
and chairs tag match in Bellevue a couple weeks after this but Elgin
wants one on one retribution against Chambers and he wants it on
December 20th.

Plus 3 more matches.   Card subject to change.

IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title

Dingo vs. Ian Rotten

Dingo has been on an impressive roll since winning the IWA Mid-South
title in the beginning of the summer. Roderick has travel issues that
will keep him off of this show but he will be in Joliet the next night.
Trevor Murdock is going to be in Japan and unable to attend. Therefore,
the title match has been changed to Dingo defending against Ian Rotten.
Even if Dingo survives, will he be in any condition to fend off the
challenge of Jason Hades the next night?


IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title Match

Jason Hades vs. Ryan Phoenix

Ryan Phoenix issued this challenge at the first show in Bellevue a
couple of weeks ago. He knows that he has never won a match in IWA but
he is the hometown boy trying to live out a dream. Will the hometown
fans be able to cheer on Phoenix to a stunning upset? Will Hades be
focused enough on the challenge of a huge underdog with the career
defining title vs. title match looming the next night?

Tables, Ladders & Chairs Grudge Match

Grits N Gravy (Elgin & Sami) vs. Michigan Militia (Brooks & Skyline) vs.
Sex Drugs & Wrestling (Chambers & Ash)

Elgin teamed with Chambers at the first Bellevue show to take on the
Militia. Chambers turned on Elgin disgusted that he was using Sami
Callihan as a tag partner. That somehow was a betrayal to his Canadian
roots. Chambers promised that Elgin would never be able to get another
Canadian to team with him...including his former tag partner and man he
came to IWA with, Ash. It allowed the Militia to get a victory over
Elgin. Elgin and Chambers started an impromptu match against each other
when the Militia got involved again. They beat down both Elgin and
Chambers leading to the need for a 3 way. In order to make it a little
more interesting...tables, ladders and chairs will be allowed. Will the
Canadians side with the Militia or Grits N Gravy to make it 4 on 2 until
the Militia is taken care of or will the past friendship of Elgin and
Ash mean nothing and every team fend for themselves? Maybe Sex Drugs &
Wrestling will work with the Militia to prove a point to Elgin. The only
thing known for sure is that chaos will ensue!

DAVID vs. GOLIATH
Ricochet vs. The Necro Butcher

Ricochet is one of the top high flyers in IWA. However, he probably one
weighs in at about 175 pounds. Necro is going to have at least a 100
pound weight advantage. Can Ricochet use his quickness and aerial
ability to stay away from the madman known for destroying his opponents?
Will Necro use his size and strength to ground Ricochet and beat him to
a pulp? This is the ultimate styles clash matchup in IWA and it could
very well be the last time that Ricochet ever steps into a ring if he
can't stay away from the Necro Butcher.

Light Heavyweight Contender's Match
Chuck Taylor vs. The Yellow Dog w/ Classie Lassie

While the winner of this match won't be guaranteed a light heavyweight
title shot, it would definitely go a long way in moving up the ladder
and getting closer to a title shot. Chuck Taylor is a former IWA
Mid-South World Heavyweight Champion (the longest reigning one in IWA
history), IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Champion and IWA
Mid-South Women's Champion. He's been out with an injury since taking a
nasty spill at the 2008 TPI vs. Cassandro and is ready to once again
stake his claim to be one of the top performers in IWA. The Yellow Dog
has become an instant fan favorite with his zany performances. If the
fans don't like the zaniness, the men definitely like the beauty of
Classie Lassie being ringside with him. This match is sure to entertain,
if not athletically then definitely comically.


New Matches


2 Out of 3 Falls
Egotistico Fantastico vs. Prince Mustafa Ali

Prince Mustafa Ali demanded to be in the TPI after losing a match
against Egotistico Fantastico. Ali claimed it was only racism that kept
him out of the prestigious tournament. Ian agreed to let him into the
TPI but made his first round matchup a rematch against Ego. Ego won that
match too and went one to be one of the MVPs of the tournament. Ali has
failed a couple of times at wresting the light heavyweight title from
Hades and in order to get another crack at the title he needs to prove
himself by taking out his old nemesis Ego. Can Ali defeat Ego not only
once but do it twice in the same night to get the victory? Will Ali use
the shoe bomb and the weapons of mass destruction or will Ego keep him
at bay with Taco Pizza? Either way, the crowd is sure to be the winner
in this one as two of the top young guys in IWA tear into each other to
start the new year on a roll!

Battle of TNA Knockouts
Mickie Knuckles vs. Payton Banks a.k.a. Rain

Mickie and Rain have a long history in IWA Mid-South. They had a series
of great matches back in 2005 that saw Mickie on the winning side more
times than not. In 2004, Rain was able control the feud. It has been a
couple of years since these two have tangled but there is still no love
lost between them. Will Mickie run roughshot over Rain or will Rain use
her beauty and her brains to distract the referee and get a victory over
the Redneck Woman? Mickie will be at a disadvantage due to her
recovering broken leg but she won't use that as an excuse. Be in
Bellevue to see who the better TNA Knockout is and perhaps the winner
will be one step closer to returning to TNA?

IWA Mid-South Heavyweight Title vs. Light Heavyweight Title

Dingo vs. Jason Hades

These two men have dominated IWA Mid-South in 2008. Dingo has taken on
all challengers for his heavyweight title and defeated them all. He has
finally squashed the dreams of Drake Younger and beaten his biggest foe
for the final time. Drake can't challenge for the title again as long as
Dingo remains champion. Who is next in line to challenge Dingo? How
about the last man to defeat him in IWA? Jason Hades has been on an
equally impressive roll in IWA and even has a victory over Dingo before
Dingo won the title. Hades issued the challenge at the end of the
Candido Cup and Dingo promised to walk out with both titles in a
"cakewalk." Who will be the last man standing with all the IWA titles
when this one ends?

Grudge Match

Da Soul Touchaz (Trauma & Marshe) vs. The Soul Shooters

Da Soul Touchaz (Marshe Rockett & Acid Jazz) won the 2008 Candido Cup
but in the process, Jazz broke his leg and dislocated his ankle. If that
wasn't bad enough, then the Soul Shooters (Dru & Q Skillz) ran in and
attacked the injured Jazz and Marshe before Trauma could run them off.
This time the Soul Touchaz know that the Soul Shooters are coming. Which
team will prove to have all the Soul in the IWA?

Battle of the Butchers

Necro Butcher vs. Bill the Butcher

Bill the Butcher made quite the impression on IWA fans at the tryout
show and they immediately started thinking about how great a match vs.
Necro would be. Necro is always looking for a fight and is more than
ready to test the new kid on the block to see if he is all hype or the
real deal. Join us in Joliet to find out if Bill is ready to make the
giant leap and can stand toe to toe with the Necro Butcher!

Also on the card:

Strong Style Showdown

Roderick Strong vs. Michael Elgin

Roderick won the Revolution Strong Style Tournament. Michael Elgin is a
former IWA Strong Style Champion. These two are probably hands down the
hardest choppers in IWA right now. Who will be able to come out on top
in this showdown between two of the toughest in the independents? Can
the Messiah of the Backbreaker get the bigger Elgin up for one of his
backbreakers? Can Elgin ground and pound the RSST champion? One thing is
definite...they are going to hit each other so hard that even the fans
in attendance will be able to feel it!

Battle For Positioning as Contender for IWA Title

Jimmy Jacobs vs. "New Horror" Sami Callihan

Sami has been on an undeniable roll in IWA. He made it to the finals of
TPI, RSST and Double Death. While making it to the finals was quite an
accomplishment for Sami, he is pissed that he failed to win all three
times. He has made Ian Rotten submit and beat Mickie Knuckles in her
return from a broken leg. Now he has his sights set on Jimmy Jacobs.
Jimmy is the 2nd longest reigning IWA heavyweight champion in history.
He has come up short in his quest to get that title back against Chuck
Taylor and Dingo. The quickest way to get another shot is to beat the
man who made it to 3 tournament finals in IWA in a calendar year. Can
Sami continue on his roll and perhaps become a number one contender to
the heavyweight title or will Jimmy Jacobs use him as a stepping stone
to get back to where he wants to be?

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:

January 2nd - Ian Rotten vs. Trevor Murdock - Hardcore Rules Match
*******************************************
Here are the results for the November Tryout Show - "Feast or Famine"
from Joliet, IL on 11/29

1) The Yellow Dog def. "The Warfare" Jeremy Hadley. Yellow Dog's
attire has a tail and he was chasing it. Hadley was giving him orders
and the Dog obliged by rolling over, etc. Yellow Dog wins by jumping
from the top rope and hitting a DDT. Dog gets a please come back
chant. Fans loved him.

2) Cameron Jacobs def. Danny McKay with a DVD into a Stunner.

3) Michael and Brandon Havik def. Andrew Waymen and David Higsey.

4) Cameron Cross def. Morky Mang. Both guys are from the Minnesota
area.

5) Darkness def. Dustin Michaels. Please come back chants for both.

6) Kareem Abdul Jamar def. Chris Mayne. Please come back chants for
both men, as well.

7) El Blue Inferno def. Loco Uno Juevo.

8) Kody Rice, T W 3, and Jay Money w/ Bling Bling def. Shangel Creed,
Aiden Blackheart, and Corey Cagerick.

Sexton.

11) Jorden Vandal def. Christian Rose
