Main Event - Street Fight - IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title Match

Chuck Taylor vs. Low Ki

Chuck Taylor called out Low Ki at the Plainfield show on March 2 by calling him a "pussy" and a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle" and challenged him to this matchup. Low Ki was livid when he heard these comments and immediately accepted the challenge. Chuck Taylor intentionally got himself DQ'd the last time these two men faced each other but they will be no disqualification in this matchup. Can Chuck live up to his promise of being able to "choke to the throat" among other things on his way to protecting the title or will Low Ki be able to stay unbeaten and add the title to his list of accomplishments since entering IWA Mid-South?

Last Man Standing
Drake Younger vs. CJ Otis

These two former partners have done battle in several matchups of late stemming from Finisher's Matches to Tap Out matches to No Holds Barred matches. This one could be the most brutal of them all as it will be Last Man Standing. Will this match finally crown a decisive winner in this feud? Can Drake Younger use his abilities as Death Match champion to incorporate weapons and hardcore into this matchup to put CJ Otis down for the count? Will CJ be able to use the training of Sabu and Dan Severn to prove his superiority?

These matches have just been added to the show:

IWA Mid-South Light Heavyweight Title Match
Josh Abercrombie vs. Brandon Thomaselli
Josh has been the light heavyweight champion for more than a year now and his last defense came against his former partner Brandon Thomaselli. After the match, Brandon turned on his friend and partner and attacked him. Josh is furious and has demanded that he be given an opportunity to beat some respect into the "Impact Bully." Will Josh even the score or will Brandon be able to bring to an end the longest title reign in IWA history?

Old School vs. New School - Clash of Styles
Ian Rotten vs. Ricochet
Some fans have billed Ricochet as a one or two trick pony that has a lot to learn in the ring. Who better to do the teaching than Ian Rotten? Will Ian be able to teach Ricochet a thing or two by stretching him and outwrestling and outbrawling him? Will Ricochet be able to use his speed and quickness to pull out the victory over Ian? Can Ricochet even live to tell his friends about this experience? This could be the most intriguing matchup in quite some time in an IWA ring.

Strong Style Battle
Eddie Kingston vs. Ricky Reyes

Eddie Kingston is returning from his broken ankle and wants to prove that he has not lost a step since winning the Strong Style Tournament even after that serious injury. He will have his work cut out for him against Reyes who is definitely one of the hardest hitters to come into IWA.
