IWA Mid-South Wrestling, in association with NWA Midwest, returned to the National Guard Armory in New Albany, IN on Thursday night, 10/7. Here's what went down... 1. RYAN BOZ def. PROPHET. 2. DANNY DANIELS def. TRUTH MARTINI. 3. RYUJI ITO def. JC BAILEY. 4. MAD MAN PONDO def. ZACH GOWEN. 5. DELIRIOUS def. "Double C" CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI & BRANDON THOMASELLI. 6. DAISUKE SEKIMOTO def. "Spyder" NATE WEBB. 7. NIGEL McGUINNESS def. CHRIS HERO. Live Notes: The event was filmed for home video release by IWA-MS, with commentary by Dave Prazak and Jim Fannin... Ian Rotten pulled out of his scheduled match against Zach Gowen due to injuries suffered this past Tuesday on the IWA East Coast event in Nitro, WV. Mad Man Pondo took Ian's place against Gowen... Nate Webb sustained a concussion on a tumbleweed dive to the floor during his match against Sekimoto. He intends on fulfilling his other bookings this week despite the injury... The seven NWA Wildside representatives being sent for the IWA Mid-South/NWA Wildside Challenge on 10/28 in New Albany are Todd Sexton, Tank, Salvatore Rinauro, Vito Thomaselli, Sal Thomaselli, Iceberg, and Seth DeLay. Following an impressive debut match against Delirious and Claudio Castagnoli, Ian invited Brandon Thomaselli to compete on the IWA side on 10/28, but against his brother Vito. Brandon accepted... Nigel McGuinness worked over the arm of Chris Hero for the majority of the main event, which saw both men brawl around the building to start things off before breaking into a more scientific contest inside the ring moments later. Nigel pinned Hero with a backslide, and his feet on the ropes for leverage... Jim Fannin came to the ring after intermission with a contract in his hand, representing "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson in issuing a challenge to Ian Rotten for a match on the 10/28 card. Rotten refused, as Danielson does not wrestle for Wildside, and he has nothing to prove in a match against him. Fannin called Ian a "coward" for not taking the match, even though it was Danielson who attacked Rotten from behind on 9/16 in New Albany. Ian finally got so frustrated with Fannin that he accepted the match, to prove he's not afraid of Danielson. IWA-MS is back in action THIS SATURDAY NIGHT, October 9th, at the National Guard Armory (1015 S. Main Street) in Scottsburg, IN. Bell time is 7:30pm. All seats just $10, and available at the door.

The Scottsburg Armory is located just off Exit 29 on I-65. The Scottsburg show will be started with a battle royal, with the order of elimination from the royal determining the match pairings on the card.

"Don't expect me to do the "return job" to you."

Create a PPV, but heed the requirements! -The PPV must be a WWF PPV in February in a year between 1995-2000. You must name your PPV and use it to build towards Wrestlemania. You need to shortly summarize your matches, give a star rating, say how long they went, and say how they ended. -You can use WWF, WCW, and ECW superstars who were active in the year of your PPV. -Any title from either of the "big three" can be at stake, and there have to be at least two title matches. -There must be some sort of elimination match on the show. -At least one match must end after some sort of interference. -There must be at least one "gimmick" match on the card. (Cage, strap, casket, etc) -There must be a swerve or a heel turn during the card. -A wrestler must try out a new gimmick for the show. -An announcer, referee, or some other non-wrestler must get beat up during the show. -An authority figure must end the show with a "shocking" announcement. -And, my favorite requirement, ripped off from CM Funk...there must be a finish to an Undertaker match that was clearly rebooked because he complained about the original finish. Let's see what you've got!

I'm sure it's been done before, but fuck it. Post your favorite lines here. "Next we go to Ollie with the Black-U-Weather forcast. Ollie?" "It gonna rain." "Thanks Ollie."

Nope. But first CCC will probably squash Scotty and tell him he's not "Too Cool".

And don't forget that Big Show shaves his head every day to remind himself of the atrocities committed by Kurt Angle.

One more day to vote, come on now people!

Why or why not?

The 10/9 Scottsburg show was rescheduled, tentatively for 10/29, I believe. Yeah, the show was definitel a smaller one. Ian said he's just trying to get the fans used to having IWA there, and if the shows do well he'll make them bigger the next few times, I think.

Post your thoughts about this show here. Have you seen it? What do you think of it? What are the best and worst matches? Any other thoughts? We've done Halloween Havoc 1994 and Survivor Series 1989 so far...and today's pay per view is WCW Hog Wild 1996. This is obviously a key pay per view for WCW, as it was the first after the nWo angle went down at Bash at the Beach. Hogg Wild 1996 August 10, 1996 in Sturgis, SD Sturgis Rally & Race drawing 5,000 ($0) Shown live on PPV (0.62) # WCW Cruiserweight Champ Rey Misterio, Jr. pinned Ultimate Dragon (11:35). # Scott Norton beat Ice Train (5:05) via submission. # Madusa pinned Bull Nakano (5:00). # Chris Benoit pinned Dean Malenko (26:55). # WCW Tag Champs Harlem Heat beat Rick & Scott Steiner (17:53) when Booker T pinned Scott. # WCW U.S. Champ Ric Flair pinned Eddie Guerrero (14:14). # Scott Hall & Kevin Nash beat Lex Luger & Sting (14:36) when Hall pinned Luger. # Hulk Hogan pinned The Giant (14:55) to win the WCW World Title.

From PWInsider...

Yeah, I was thinking of maybe doing 3 a week. We'll see how it goes, I guess.

Well...at least they've been elevated since then, I guess... But the workrate difference between them and Cena/Carlito is just mind boggling.

Nobody is allowed to work a different style, so the in-ring action just isn't much fun anymore. I like watching hard hitting stuff where each guy has his own in-ring style, instead of everyone wrestling the "WWE main event" style.

After watching a lot of indy stuff (ROH, IWA-MS, more) I just don't care about the WWE in-ring stuff anymore. For the most part it just sucks. It's just the characters and angles I really care about now, because great matches don't come along too often, especially on TV.

Wade Keller gave the main event **1/2 and said it was a good match.

That'd be a cool idea, we'll have to figure out a way to do something like that. Old School Theater, we'll call it.

He has his own blog at www.livejournal.com/~rspwfaq and that's all I know.

Which brand are you liking more right now and why? Has this opinion recently changed or been like this for a while?

I love this thread.

Yep, Malibu didn't make it sound mandatory. Your fault, Zack!

I just love the randomness of these. For example: ECW Tag Titles Dean Malenko and Joe Malenko d. Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn when Dean made Dan tap to a cross-armbreaker, ***1/2 (9:20) Pitbulls 1 and 2 sat at ringside. But why were the Pitbulls sitting at ringside? TUNE IN TO NITRO TO FIND OUT!
