10-Falls with "Dr Death" Steve Williams
"Dr Death" Steve Williams
1) You have been in the wrestling business for a number of years? How long? and how has pro wrestling in your mind changed over the years?
Doc: 25 years. There is no longer any respect for the business.
2) What organizations have you worked for and are there ones you currently are associated with?
Doc: Every major company in the world, and currently for the WWE as a trainer.
3) Through your career, I am sure there were many great things that happened and also some low points...Can you give us any stories about the "Good" and "Bad" of your pro wrestling career?
Doc: I discuss all of this is my book, but I have died three times and god has spared me. The fans have been great and I value their support.
4) Is there anything you regret you were never able to accomplish in professional wrestling?
Doc: No, put in real life not going to the U.S. Olympics
5) More recently you have fought some health battles...can you explain and are you doing okay now?
Doc: I have battled T-4 throat cancer, and on May 7th, I will be cancer free for three years! Praise God
6) You have written a book, "How Dr Death became Dr Life"....how would you describe the book and how did you come to write it?
Doc: It is about my life, a true story about how Dr. Death became Dr. Life. Through my good friend, Dr. Tom Caiazzo, we put out a true book to inspire and motivate.
7) Life is a series of ups and downs, what are some of the things that you do in life to overcome the tough times?
Doc: Pray and give God all the glory.
8) Back to Pro Wrestling...Do you watch much of the current TV wrestling product and what do you think about it? Who are some of the wrestlers you watch now?
Doc: I don't get to watch much because I am out ministering and motivating. When I see Shawn Michels, the Undertaker, and Kurt Angle, I will try to watch them.
9) I am sure you have been asked this many times, when someone says, "How do I get to be a professional wrestler....?" What do you tell them?
Doc: I tell them to go to my website and or myspace account and I will take care of them.
http://www.oklastamped.com/
10) In closing, there has to be some great road stories over your long career.....Let us in on one of those stories (Keep it clean--LOL)?
Doc: When I was very green, I was very protective of my gear. Billy Starr ribbed me and took my boots. I had to wrestle barefooted. My feet hurt for a week. I got him back by repalacing his shampoo with NAIR. His hair fell out and turned green. It was too funny.
I hope all the fans will read my book. It is a true story and I hope I can inspire all.

AWA getting sued by the WWE
By Dan Browning, Star Tribune
Last update: April 26, 2007 – 1:02 PM
World Wrestling Entertainment has filed a trademark infringement lawsuit in federal court against a Minnesota man who is allegedly misappropriating the trademarks of an organization that was run by the "legendary Verne Gagne" from the 1960s to the 1990s.
Gagne is a Twin Cities promoter who's often considered the grandfather of modern television wrestling theatrics.
World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. and its associated WWE Libraries Inc., collectively know as WWE, bought the trademarks to Gagne's company in 2003. It has continued to market professional wrestling-related goods and services under the AWA trademarks, including a video titled "The Spectacular Legacy of the AWA," according to the suit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis.
The suit alleges that Dale R. Gagner, also known as Dale Gagne, "is a serial infringer" who first tried to misuse the AWA trademarks in 1990, and who is doing so again under a company called AWA Wrestling Entertainment Inc.
Minnesota business records list AWA Wrestling Entertainment Inc. at a Rochester Post Office box. A message left Thursday morning on the company's answering machine was not immediately returned. State public records list two individuals by the name of Dale R. Gagner; one, age 37, lives in Rochester. Neither could be reached for comment Thursday.
The suit says that in 1990, the Minneapolis Boxing and Wrestling Club, which had owned the AWA marks at the time, filed a similar infringement lawsuit against Gagner and others.
According to that suit, Gagner had worked as an independent contractor promoting wrestling events for the club, but he was fired when the club owners learned that he had promoted an AWA event without their knowledge. The court enjoined Gagner and his co-defendants from infringing on the AWA trademarks.
The current WWE lawsuit alleges that Gagner, in a "blatant attempt to trade on the name and popularity of Verne Gagne" and his association with the AWA, dropped the letter R from his surname to make it appear that they are related. Gagner is not related to Gagne, the suit says.
WWE says it has spent considerable sums marketing AWA's name and products, including a historical home video and a cable-TV, on-demand service known as "WWE 24/7." It markets the products through a website at www.wwe.com.
Gagner is disregarding the earlier injunction against his use of the AWA trademarks and now owns and operates websites at www.awastars.com and www.myspace.com/awastars, the suit says.
"The clear intent of Defendants' activities is to misrepresent that Defendants are the successors to and/or affiliated with the AWA wrestling promotion." the suit says, adding that the defendants have never been affiliated with WWE or the trademarked AWA wrestling promotion.
The suit charges Gagner and AWA Wrestling Entertainment with trademark infringement, unfair competition and cybersquatting under the federal Lanham Act, and with deceptive trade practices under Minnesota law. It seeks a permanent injunction restraining the defendants from using the trademarks or the awastars.com Internet domain name; all profits resulting from the alleged infringement; legal fees and expenses and other unspecified damages.

The three ATL members continued to assault Draven until John Stratlin showed up with a steel chair and chased them from the ring. Draven then challenged the three members of Maverick’s ATL to a match… Maverick’s Above the Law vs. Draven’s Above the Law. Thinking they had the other side outnumbered, Hunter, Divine, & Maverick agreed to the match. Draven then introduced the newest member of HIS version of Above the Law: CJ Popp.
Above the Law (Draven, Stratlin, & Popp) beat Above the Law (Maverick, Divine, & Hunter) after Eric Draven pinned Brandon Hunter following a Superkick while Popp held Maverick in the “Popp-Lock”.

Indy Star Chad Collyer isn't Chad Collyer any more........
"Many of you may have noticed the new banner on my website that now
reads OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF CHAD MALENKO. Anybody can visit the site
now by either going to www.chadcollyer.com or www.chadmalenko.com From
now on I will not perform in a professional wrestling environment as
Chad Collyer, but will now use the Malenko name that was passed down
to me and wrestle as Chad Malenko. In 2004, when I was booked to
wrestle for New Japan, my teacher Dean Malenko, passed down the name
to me to use only in Japan. This past month I had the opportunity to
return to Japan and wrestle for the Zero One MAX and Muga-World Pro
Wrestling promotions as Chad Malenko, and hope to continue to work for
one or both promotions more regularly under the Malenko name. I will
continue to only use the name in Japan where the name has a rich
tradition of superb technical wrestling. I want to say it is an honor
to be able to use the Malenko name. The name represents actual
wrestling in a business where "character"and long winded promos seem
to dominate this era. I hope I can represent the Malenko name well by
giving outstanding wrestling performances every night I step into the
ring in Japan.
I will not wrestle anymore in the USA or any other country under my
own name or the Malenko name. I have other plans I want to do right
now in the states such as help coach my local high school wrestling
team. I also plan to do more personal training, which I will have more
info on my website very soon. I've been wanting to get back into
submission grappling as well. I started doing this two years ago and
had to take sometime off from it when I tore my bicep tendon a year
ago. Now that I'm back to full strength, I plan to return to doing
more of this style of wrestling."

Matt Cappotelli
1) You are a product of the "Tough Enough" Shows on MTV.....how tough was the actual training during the shooting of the show and what would you do on a typical day in training?
MC: It was the most intense training I've ever been through. we trained for about 8 hrs a day - in ring, cardio, weights, everything.
2) Of course, one of the things you were famous for during the show was the confrontation with Bob Holly......What are your thoughts looking back at that situation?
MC: it's simple - i forgive, but will never forget.
3) You've been associated with OVW in Louisville since Tough Enough and alot of guys that are in the WWE today came through there, have you made any good friends and are close to any of those guys and who are they?
MC: I've made great friends with pretty much everyone who has come through OVW. we're all family.
4) What is the toughest thing about being a professional wrestler?
MC: Having no offseason and the travel schedule.
5) Any good road stories that you can pass along (keep it clean LOL)?
No Answer
6) Your career recently was slowed by an illness....can you explain what happened and will you ever be able to wrestle again?
MC: I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I can do all things through Christ, so you never know when I may pop up.
7) You have also expressed your deep faith in the Lord in the past several months...how have you been able to cope with your illness through your faith?
MC: God has given me complete peace with what is going on. i know it's all for his divine purpose and I'm humbled to be a part of this.
8) Has it been tough to be associated with the wrestling business while keeping hold of your faith, especially with some of the things that goes on with the wrestling business today?
MC: I guess it can be, but i know who i am and will not sacrifice that for anything.
9) What is the BEST thing and the WORST thing about being a professional wrestler, maybe something that you didn't realize would be that way when you started?
MC: Best: interacting with an audience, entertaining the masses.
Worst: injuries and being away from family.
10) If you had to tell someone what it's like being a professional wrestler, what are the three most important things you would tell them?
MC: You have to love it or it will eat you apart. you have to be tough physically, mentally, and emotionally. you have to make sacrifices in your personal life and be patient.

Two KY Wrestlers Suspended
Two independent wrestlers who were fined, and did not pay the fine, were subsequently suspended six months by the Ky Boxing and Wrestling Authority. Randall Hesson (aka Kid Dynamite) and Jonathan Stevenson (aka Johnny Demento) were given a six month suspension for not paying a fine due before the February 2007 meeting of the governing board. The Board suspended the two at the meeting on Tuesday. Stevenson was dressing for a show in Bowling Green, even though he was on suspension at the time, when KBWA inspectors arrived with State Police and had Stevenson escorted from the show. The Board also issued 5 other violations. ICW, a promotion in Bowling Green, was fined $300 total for two violations of training 17 year old teen (in Kentucky, you must be 18 years old to even train) Another promotion was fined $250 for two violations of wrestlers working outside the audience barrier.

Indy Wrestle Line--4/15 Report

Hello everyone and welcome to your Sunday Indy Wrestle Line update, I am your weekend warrior Randy Klemme.
First off, One quick birthday shoutout for this week, EWF's Hurricane celebrating a birthday next Friday so if you see Hurricane wish him a Happy Birthday...
To Terry in New Castle, I totally agree with you on Vince McMahon having a hand in getting the match between Jerry Lawler and Hulk Hogan cancelled in Memphis. Lawler is used so little in the ring, I really couldn't see how it would hurt, EXCEPT he didn't want Hulk Hogan to have the glory again because of some recent problems between the two. I have heard this show is Hogan's show and not Lawler. McMahon has to have his hands in everything.
Don't forget next weekend is the EWF X-8 Tournament and right now on option 3 of the Indy Wrestle Line you can hear from another of the particpants as Greg Carey interviews former WWE Superstar Tank Toland on the HotSeat...
Also a reminder my 10-Falls interview this week is with northern Indiana Wrestling Star Chase Richards. That interview can be found in the Independents Day section of themidwestinsider.com or on my MySpace page at midwestinsiderrandy in the blog section. By the way, next week I will have a SPECIAL interview with Tough Enough 3 winner and OVW Superstar Matt Capotelli, as I go 10-rounds with him next weekend....
A couple of quick news notes....for fans of the Madison Square Gardens Classics on the MSG Network, you'll need to mark May 16th on your calendar as that is the return date for the shows...
Tonight is TNA Lockdown on PPV. There are questions as to who Christy Hemme's mystery team will be against VKM. Apparently TNA was unable to find a suitable tag team, so the two participants will be from the main roster and the match has been moved to the pre-show.
Speaking of TNA, they will be at the Louisville Gardens next Friday for a house show. Ticketmaster still has good seats remaining for the show....
Well as I mentioned yesterday it is another busy weekend for independent wrestling...so let's get right into the results

The Ladies Man
First-let's look at the Eye Candy Division: and this division can best be summed up as.....Beautiful, but Stupid. We start this one with Maria.....but who's to say if she is stupid.....or very smart? After all, she IS able to put a complete sentence together without too much trouble. Then, we move to that idiotic "GO-DADDY" girl. I'm not even going to mention her name, but let's just say that in the dictionary under "stupid"......there is her picture.
Let's move on to those lovely ladies that I will place in the category of Not a Clue: and this division can best be described as those girls who are attractive, have absolutely no talent, no wrestling ability.....so they really have no clue why they are in the WWE. Among those....Crystal, Chantalle, among others.
Then there is the I'm Trying to Learn division: In this division, we would find Ashly(and who knows why they pushed her as having a brother who was a wrestler). She tries very hard in the ring, but she just hasn't got what it really takes to be a wrestler.
The final category, or division...is True Wrestler: At the top of the list, is Jillian, followed closely by Mickie, Victoria, and Melina. Those of you who know anything about the indies in the past, know that these ladies went as Mercedes, Alexis Laree, Victoria(no change there), and Melina Perez. THEY are truly wrestlers, who have gone through rigorous training, only to be stuck in some stupid storylines with the other "ladies who wrestle".
For each one of these ladies who has been trained, and has made it to the WWE....there are scores of other ladies....whose training is just as good, but who are overlooked because they aren't wrestling mainstream organizations...or because the WWE would much rather have another "Diva Search" and let the true talent sit at home.
I could go on and on about this, but will let it go for now. All I can do, is ask those of you who are true wrestling fans, and in particular...fans of the ladies...to voice your opinions. Email, write, contact the WWE, and let them know that you are tired of seeing the untrained airheads who are ruining what used to be a very good ladies division.
Please......show these ladies who are working their butts off in the independant feds, that you care. Support the wonderful ladies of wrestling......
Visit: www.glorywrestling.com
Remember....the ladies need your support, too!

10-Falls with Northern Indiana Indy Star Chase Richards
1) How long have you been in the business and where did you receive your wrestling training?
CR: I have been in the business for 7 years now. I initially recieved my training through NRW (A defunct fed in Northwest Indiana), but have trained at several other schools throughout the course of my "career".
2) What organizations have you worked for and which ones are you currently associated with?
NRW
MEW
IUWA
UWA
FXW
WCWO
FEW
NFW
LWF
WCPW
PCW
AAW
CWF
WWA
ARW
FPW
NWA-FSM
NWA-Indiana
If I left anyone out, I apologize...
3) What titles have you held during your wrestling career?
NRW Tag Team Championship
IUWA Tag Team Championship
MEW Enterprise Title
IUWA National Title
AAW Tag Team Championship (2X's)
FPW Tag Team Championship
ARW Heayweight Title
NWA-Indiana Heritage Tag Team Championship
4) Which match over your career has been your favorite and why? and who is your favorite opponent to work with?
CR: I'd probably say my favorite match thusfar has to be when I defended the ARW title against "Roughneck" Jay Ryan. As-of right-now, that match just came-off SO good... very hard-hitting, very intense.
My favorite opponent is a very tough one to narrow down. There have been so many guys I've worked with that I'd work any night of the week... if I HAD to choose, I'd say "The Prophet Of Rage" Botch. We always seem to work well with one another.
5) How would you best describe your style of wrestling?
CR: Believable. I take a lot of pride in what I do in the ring, and don't want anyone sitting in the crowd thinking that they can do what I'm doing. 'Physical' is another word to describe it.
6) What is the toughest thing about being a professional wrestler?
CR: I'd say the toughest thing, for me, has been the moral conflictions you come across. To me, integrity is something I will not compromise, and in wrestling, there are a lot of obstacles you encounter that makes many men compromise their integrity. Knowing that if I just did this, or stabbed this person in the back, I could "make it farther in the business" really bothers me. But, what can I say? I'm in a business that is all about "cons".
7) Any good road stories that you can pass along (keep it clean LOL)?
CR: Man, there have been so many good car-rides... but the one that immediately pops into my head is one of my first trips. It's myself, Kenny Courageous, Cade Lee and Tank Escobar and we're all crammed in the smallest car imaginable... the exact brand or make of the car escapes me, but trust me, it was small. We're heading down I-65 and out of nowhere, the car breaks down and we're stranded on the side of the road. It's around 3-4 o'clock on a Saturday, so there is a steady flow of traffic, and Tank decides he NEEDS to go to the bathroom. This wouldn't have been a problem, if he just had to pee. Now, Tank is not a shy person in the absolute least, so he gets a newspaper we had in the car and proclaims "It's either on the side of the road or on myself" and heads to the grass. For reasons not known to this day, he proceeded to lean back on the SLOPE of the grass, butt facing traffic and do his thing. We are all laughing so hard we're crying... why didn't he try to hide himself a little better, ya know? When he returns to the car, after catching our breath, we ask him why didn't face the other way. His retort, and I quote: "I didn't want anyone to see m'penis."
That's the "cleanest" one I have!
8) Are there things that you would like to achieve during your pro wrestling career? Short term and long term goals?
CR: Of course there are goals I'd like to achieve. Short-term: I'd like to work more weekday shows. I'd love to branch-out and work new places, learn new things, meet new people. I'd like to be considered a "go-to" guy for a good match. As far as long term: I'd love to work for a bigger North American fed. I'd LOVE to sometime maybe do a tour of Japan.
9) Have you received any important advice from other more famous names in the pro wrestling business and what was that?
CR: Colt Cabana gave me some of the best advice I've ever recieved. It was to carry yourself like a star. If you don't believe you're a star, then why would anyone else? I am trying to apply that more and more each passing day. Lex Luger gave me some GREAT advice for getting noticed more and nutritional tips. Chad Collyer taught me so much with very few words. You can learn from just aboot anything if you really want to.
10) What is the BEST thing and the WORST thing about being a professional wrestler, maybe something that you didn't realize would be that way when you started?
CR: Best: Kids, teens, adults... it doesn't matter what age you are, you can always find yourself caught-up in the moment when meeting someone you like to watch perform. It can be any athlete, actor, musician... when someone enjoys your craft, they look up to you and hold you on a higher platform than "normal people". It's cool to have people think you're something special, when in actuality, you're as down-to-earth and normal as they are. I think that's the best part of it.
Worst: The politics. The backstabbing. The drama...

Unlucky Number 7 Gauntlet Match:

Richard Cannon wins the "Lucky Number 7 Gauntlet" to advance to April 21st's Fatal 4-way
After the match, Richard Cannon said he was about to debunk a holiday myth and
announced that there is no EASTER BUNNY... with that "HERE COMES PETER COTTONTAIL MUSIC HIT" and the EASTER BUNNY CAME DOWN AND GOT IN THE RING WITH CANNON.
The fans chanted for Cannon to "HUG THE BUNNY" but when he tried he was hit with a
Modified "Easter Bunny Ace Crusher" and then took off the Bunny Head... revealing it was Just Justin! Richard Cannon got out of the ring and headed for the back telling Justin it would be him that
will win the fatal four way on April 21st...
Damian & Hurricane had their Official Contract signing... Damian had come to the ring with a guitar case and 2 druids in tow after Damian had signed the contract he read the bottom which stated that the match for next week between the 2 would be a "Fans bring the weapons match"... Damian had not read the entire contract was furious and sent his druids to attack Hurricane... they had little luck beating on "Cane.
After a few minutes of Hurricane tossing the druids around he reached into Damian's guitar case and blasted one of Damian's druids with the guitar upside his head... shattering it into about 100 pieces. Damian says he promises Hurricane will pay next week.

RESULTS FROM VOLUMES 9 & 10 TAPING
----------------------------------------------------------
SHIMMER - WOMEN ATHLETES returned to the Eagles Club in Berwyn, IL on Saturday, April 7th for Volumes 9 & 10 of the SHIMMER DVD series. Here's what went down...
ALLISON DANGER opened the show by informing the fans in attendance that JAZZ would unfortunately not be able to appear due to her mother being hospitalized the previous evening in Memphis. Ticket refunds were offered at the door. Jazz was very apologetic over the phone on Saturday morning about the situation, but we at SHIMMER understand that some things in life are more important than wrestling, and Jazz assured us that she will make it up to the fans of SHIMMER in the future.
An intro video was shown on the big screen, put together by Nykk of the SHIMMER Forums. The video can be viewed on the web at...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5BKnQcqXQQ
The first portion of the show featured matches taped for Volume 9 of the DVD series.
1. "The Jezebel" EDEN BLACK def. RAIN of the "Minnesota Home Wrecking Crew" via submission with the Garden of Eden (triangle choke) in the opening contest.
2. PORTUGUESE PRINCESS ARIEL def. ALEXA THATCHER with the Dariel.
3. "The Experience" LEXIE FYFE & MALIA HOSAKA def. ALLISON DANGER & CINDY ROGERS when Rogers turned on Danger, hitting her with a facebuster, which set The Experience up to hit their double team Gourdbuster on Allison for the pinfall. Post-match in the locker room, a very emotional Danger demanded a match against Rogers on Volume 10.
4. PORTIA PEREZ def. JOSIE after nailing her in the head with a chain behind the referee's back. Perez carried herself in a much more confident/cocky way than in the past during the match.
REBECCA BAYLESS contucted an in-ring interview with DAFFNEY, requesting that she inform us of her goals in SHIMMER. The Scream Queen revealed that while she may enter competition as a wrestler at some point in the future, for now she is going to focus on what she did from the beginning of her career, and that is manage. She said she would be scouting talent during the matches on Volume 9.
5. NIKKI ROXX def. TIANA RINGER with the Barbie Crusher. Post-match, REBECCA BAYLESS got comments from Roxx, who said her goal is to be in the main event in SHIMMER, and on the heels of a four DVD winning streak, she would like a match against the winner of Volume 9's main event on Volume 10.
6. DAIZEE HAZE def. AMBER O'NEAL with the Heart Punch/Yakuza Kick combo.
7. LACEY of the "Minnesota Home Wrecking Crew" def. SERENA DEEB with the Implant DDT after about 15 minutes of action.
8. AMAZING KONG def. MsCHIF with a spinning sitout powerbomb in a very physical match, which earned an enthusiastic standing ovation from the fans in attendance.
9. "American Angel" SARA DEL REY def. CHEERLEADER MELISSA in the main event of Volume 9 with the Royal Butterfly.
After intermission, matches were taped for Volume 10 of the DVD series.
10. PORTUGUESE PRINCESS ARIEL def. PORTIA PEREZ with the Dariel.
11. RAIN of the "Minnesota Home Wrecking Crew" def. JOSIE & MALIA HOSAKA & ALEXA THATCHER in a Four Corner Survival match. After Thatcher absorbed Josie's second rope blockbuster, Hosaka broke up the pin attempt that followed and brawled to the floor with Josie, allowing Rain to follow up on Alexa with the Rain Drop (inverted DDT) to score the win.
12. "The Definition of Technician" CINDY ROGERS def. ALLISON DANGER with her feet on the ropes for extra leverage. This was an intense bout, coming on the heels of their split on Volume 9. The match included quite a bit of brawling on the floor, with use of the guardrails and the steel ring steps.
13. MsCHIF def. AMBER O'NEAL with the Desecrator. MsChif revealed a green and black clad DAFFNEY as her new manager, as both women took turns screaming in the ears of Amber O'Neal in stereo early in the match!
14. SERENA DEEB def. LEXIE FYFE with a rollup counter to the Attitude Adjuster.
15. TIANA RINGER def. "The Jezebel" EDEN BLACK with the South Palm Beach Driver in a match that featured lots of brutal kicks, and a great deal of crowd interaction with Tiana.
16. CHEERLEADER MELISSA def. LACEY of the "Minnesota Home Wrecking Crew" with the Air Raid Crash.
17. AMAZING KONG def. DAIZEE HAZE in a thrilling game of cat and mouse, after Kong hit The Haze with the Amazing Press to finish her off. Daizee was able to land the Heart Punch as well as the Yakuza Kick on Kong, but was unable to pull of the victory with it due to the size difference involved. Daizee put up one hell of a fight during the course of the match, trying to use her speed and energy to overcome Kong's power.
18. "American Angel" SARA DEL REY def. NIKKI ROXX in the main event of Volume 10 with the Royal Butterfly in roughly 20 minutes.
We'd like to thank the fans who attended the event in person for the first ever sellout SHIMMER taping! A standing room only crowd witnessed Volumes 9 & 10, and we unfortunately had to turn some late arrivals away at the door due to space restrictions. We appreciate your support!

Though Mary-Kate Grosso was unable to attend the taping to shoot ringside photos, veteran Chicago photographer Buddy Lamantia shot ringside the entire night, and we'll have his action photos up on the web shortly. Additionally, both Jill McKee and Gilda Pasquil were busy throughout the taping taking posed photos in the locker room. We should have their work online soon as well.
SHIMMER returns to the Berwyn Eagles Club on Friday & Saturday, June 1st & 2nd for the two night, 16 woman, single elimination tournament to crown the SHIMMER Champion.

IWA MidSouth Fundraiser near Shelbyville, IN next Saturday
Saturday night April 14th
Southwestern High School: 317-729-5122
3406 W 600 S,
Shelbyville, IN 46176, US
Coming from Louisville, you would take exit 80 off of I-65 and turn right and then follow the signs for Southwestern High School. This is about 20 minutes closer to Louisivlle than the Plainfield shows!
Tickets for this show will be $20 and $15 and if you want ringside seats for this show, let us know asap because the school has the tickets and we will need to pull them for you.
Demolition Ax vs. Bull Pain
Former multiple time WWF tag team champion Demolition Ax debuts for IWA Mid-South and takes on one of the biggest and baddest in IWA history in Big Bad Bull Pain. This should be a helluva hard hitting contest between these two!
Honky Tonk Man vs. "Marvelous" Mitch Ryder
The longest reigning Intercontinental Champion in WWF history will be making his IWA Mid-South debut to take on the Marvelous one. Can the Honky Tonk Man shake rattle and roll his way to victory over Mitch?
Former WWF Intercontinental Champ & Tag Champ Greg "The Hammer" Valentine vs. Ian Rotten
Valentine earned the name "The Hammer" by hitting people so hard they felt like someone was drilling them with a hammer. He was able to use that brute force to win the US Heavyweight title, Intercontinental Title and WWF tag team titles in his illustrious career. Can the undisputed "King of Hardcore" take the hits dished out by the "Hammer" or will Greg Valentine learn what it is like to become hardcore?
Josh Abercrombie vs. Brandon Thomaselli in a Tables, Ladders & Chairs match for the IWA Light Heavyweight Title
These former partners had a severe falling out in Midlothian after Josh pulled out a victory to retain the title and Brandon attacked him after fooling him into thinking that he was congratulating him. Josh pulled out another victory in the rematch after being dominated for most of the match. Brandon then whipped him with the ref's leather belt leading to the Indian Strap Match on April 28th but they are going to do battle once more before then with this Tables, Ladders & Chairs match in Shelbyville. Can Josh pull out another victory and stay unbeaten in TLC matches or will Brandon be the man to end the almost 15 month title reign of Josh Abercrombie?
Chuck Taylor vs. Drake Younger for the IWA Mid-South Heavyweight Title
The champion, Chuck Taylor, successfully defended his title twice at April Blood Showers and he wants to follow up that performance by defeating the IWA Death Match champion Drake Younger and proving that he is the superior champion in IWA. Can Drake recover enough from the injuries sustained in the Barbed Wire cage at the hands of Ian Rotten and then the vicious attack of Six Feet Under to be at full strength or is Chuck Taylor taking advantage of another situation to "prove" his superiority?
Former WWE star Zack Gowen vs. C.J. Otis
