Great writeup on the show. I haven't seen any PWG yet, but I think I'm going to start very soon and get 88 Miles Per Hour, and follow with the Musical and Rocktoberfest when those come out. And this? This is a DEFINITE buy even before it happens.

This fucking rocks! Ian and company at IWA-MS are completely rocking my world right now. Danielson/Cannon? Awesome. Samoe Joe vs. B-Boy? Everyone said it was great in PWG, so why not IWA-MS? Petey vs. Hero? That should be FANTASTIC. Styles/Delirious? Punk/Sydal? Petey/Sabin? Good God this is going to be fantastic.

Great, great stuff. Well done! Are you going to the shows in late July?

I would love to see a review of that show. It's on my short list of numerous IWA-MS shows I'm buying very soon.

I thought Joe was working JAPW?

Ryan Boz using your Hulkster lunch box = AWESOME. Hey, how was Hero vs. Cannon compared to their 6/19 match? Have they announced anything for the July shows yet?

Who starts a storyline without knowing the end to it? Christ. Imagine the writers of 24 doing that. "Eh, we'll write the first 12 shows and figure out how to finish it later."

I can see what you're saying, PFL. My problem with Aries/Red was that it had no transitions. It was just move, 2 count, pick him up, do a move, 2 count, pick him up, move, 2 count, etc. Maybe I'll like Kingston/Hero more the second time around. Kingston is chunky and not in great shape, but he plays a GREAT heel, and his commentary was fantastic, especially with Nate Webb.

I love Colt, but IWA-MS will obviously be fine. I just wonder what caused it, and why he'd announce he's "severing all ties". Weird.

Please post your thoughts, comments, opinions, feedback, etc. Thanks! ========== IWA-MS You Gotta See This: May 7, 2004 The lineup: 1. Trik Davis vs "The Turkish Delight" Murat Bosporous 2. "Spyder" Nate Webb vs Petey Williams 3. Chris Hero vs Eddie Kingston 4. European Rounds System: "Anarchist" Arik Cannon vs Chad Collyer 5. Ian Rotten vs Danny Daniels 6. Ryan Boz vs Eddie Venom 7. Samoa Joe vs Steve Stone 8. Lacey & Rain vs Mickie Knuckles & Daizee Haze 9. The Amazing Red vs Austin Aries 10. Homicide & B-Boy vs Matt Sydal & Delirious 11. BJ Whitmer vs Nigel McGuinness Match one: Trik Davis vs. Murat Bosporous: I skipped this match, but it was only five minutes long anyways, and I doubt I missed THAT much. Match two: Petey Williams vs. "Spyder" Nate Webb: Webb gets a big pop from the small crowd - but that's because he's "Spyder" Nate Webb and everyone loves him. Webb starts out by giving Petey a hug. Awww. They tie up and Petey hugs him back. Prazak mentions Petey wrestling in NWA TNA. Williams rolls through on a second rope sunset flip attempt at 3:30 and tries a Sharpshooter, but Webb blocks it and gets to the ropes. Webb gets stuck in a tree of woe at 4:30 and dropkicked in the chest. Tornado DDT countered to a northern lights by Webb for 2 at 7:00. An Arachnid kick gets 2, as does a floatover suplex. They battle up top and Williams hits a funky neckbreaker and both guys are down at 8:30. Williams gets two more neckbreakers for 2 at 9:15. Good reveresal sequence and Webb hits a German for 2 at 10:45. Williams counters a move and rolls Webb up...into the Sharpshooter...and Webb counters to a figure four! Petey gets the ropes. Good sequence. Tilt-a-whirl into a leg sweep by Petey for 2 at 12:30. Webb misses a moonsault and Petey hits the Canadian Destroyer for the pin at 13:30 to a huge pop. The match was low on psychology, but the crowd got really into it and it was fun. *** Match three: Chris Hero vs. Eddie Kingston: Kingston is one half of the heel tag team the Wild Cards. Hero is one of the biggest stars in IWA-MS ever. Guess who wins? Kingston is kinda chunky, so seeing some lucha style stuff to start is kind of funny. Hero goes to the CRAVAT~! Prazak calls Kingston the "King of Donuts" (his nickname is the "King of Diamonds") which is pretty funny. They exchange slaps at 3:45. Kingston hits a Bossman slam-styled backbreaker at 5:30. He works Hero's back over for a while, but Hero fights back with a head dropping suplex and lariat at 9:45. Nice front flip neckbreaker by Hero at 10:45. He hits a double stomp and gets 2. Kingston hits a uranage for 2 at 11:15. Hero comes back with a cool twisting neckbreaker and a senton. Hero hooks the Hangman's Clutch and Kingston taps at 12:45. Chris Hero is one of my favorite wrestlers, but going 13:00 with Eddie Kingston is tough to do. Really slow match, and Kingston has very little offense - he's much better as a tag team wrestler. Hero tried his hardest, though. *1/2 Match four: "Anarchist" Arik Cannon vs. Chad Collyer - European rules: There are 12 3-minute rounds in this match, and it's two out of three falls. Refs can hand out yellow and red cards for rules violations. Three yellow = a red card, and a red card = DQ. Got it? Round one: They trade mat wrestling and a few submission holds. About what you'd expect. Round two: Cannon works over Collyer with the cravat~! They trade waistlocks. Not much happening. Round three: Faster wrestling now. Collyer comes off the ropes with a funky rollup for the first pin of the match! Round four: Cannon comes out with intensity. Slingshot spinning neckbreaker on Collyer, but he's in the ropes. Good commentary by Chris Hero during the match, by the way. Cannon hits some uppercuts and then hits an Exploder suplex for 2. Cannon shoves the ref and gets a yellow card. Round five: Collyer gets a dropkick and gets a yellow card for some reason that I miss. Cannon hits a cobra clutch leg sweep ("BOOT CAMP, BITCH!") and stretches Collyer, who gets the ropes. Round six: Collyer comes after Cannon, but Cannon sweeps out his legs and pins him using the ropes for leverage to tie it up and one fall apiece. Round seven: Collyer gets a Texas cloverleaf but Cannon gets to the ropes. It sounds like a few fans chant "boring". Cannon kicks Collyer in the nuts and gets DQ-ed. Slow match and a bad finish. Not very good at all. They went about 15:00 or so, but the match never built to anything special and the DQ finish brings it down. * Match five: Danny Daniels w/ Jim Fannin vs. Ian Rotten: I really like Daniels as the cocky, cowardly heel. Fannin talks about how if Ian wins, he gets 5 minutes with Fannin. Fannin's a great heel manager. I love Ian Rotten, but his scarred forehead is just nasty. Ian hits a back body drop, jabs, and a headbutt to start. He hits an earclapper and runs his face across the ropes! Old school, baby! Ian bites his ear! Ha! Daniels comes back with a lowish-blow and charges at Ian in the ropes...who applies a variation of the Tarantula...I kid you not! They trade forearms and Ian rakes the eyes...and then rakes the back! Fannin begs for the ref to DQ Rotten. Ian goes to a spinning toe hold at 5:00. Any more old school moves he can bust out? Daniels gets free and puts Ian in a surfboard. They trade pinfalls for 2 counts. Daniels hooks a cool armbar with a bridge at 6:30. Daniels hooks an armbar and Ian does a headstand reversal (kind of) and pins him for 2! Ian picks up Daniels and gets an airplane spin! This shit is awesome! Daniels comes back with a Fujiwara on Ian. Ian gets the ropes, but Fannin chokes him out on the ropes. Daniels stretches him out. Daniels charges Ian, but Ian spears him! He's down, selling the arm - nice. Daniels hits a double arm DDT for 2 at 11:00. Ian hits a piledriver on Daniels (Daniels' finisher) and covers, but Danny gets his foot on the ropes at 2. Ian school boys Daniels for the pin at 12:15, and now gets 5 minutes with Fannin. Eddie Kingston, who is with Nate Webb on commentary, is hilarious. "Jim Fannin either has powder or cocaine - and it's powder!" Fannin powders Ian and beats him down, hooking an armbar, yelling "do you remember when this shoulder was dislocated in that car accident?" Fannin is just an awesome asshole heel manager. Ian comes back and hits a big forearm shot that Fannin sells like death. Fannin begs forgiveness as Ian beats him up and low blows him. Ian DDT's him on a chair as the 5 minutes ends. This was just a really fun match and segment. I don't really know how to rate it because work wise it wasn't a five-star classic by any means, but I enjoyed all of Ian's old school shit and all of the heelishness by Daniels and Fannin. It was entertaining. *** Match six: Ryan Boz vs. Eddie Venom: I've never seen Venom before. He's kind of a skinny version of the Wall or Malice. (RIP) Boz looks like Barry Windham. They trade shots and Boz bails. Venom suplexes him and chops him at 2:30. Venom hits a leaping knee to the face but misses a second one and Boz works the knee. Slow match. Boz hooks a stretch muffler on Venom at 5:30 and then hits a shinbreaker. Boz hooks a figure four. Venom reverses it. Back up, and Venom hits a facejam on Boz at 7:00. Venom hits a _HUGE_ boot to the face at 7:45 that gets a small "holy shit" chant. Venom tries something but his leg gives out. Boz hits an emerald fusion piledriver for the pin at 8:30. Bland match, but nothing horrible. *1/2 Postmatch, Eddie Kingston is hilarious on commentary, going over the current storylines of the soap opera "Passions". Match seven: Samoa Joe vs. "Metalhead" Steve Stone: Joe, of course, is the ROH champion. Joe puts out an open challenge, answered by Stone, who looks kind of like a wannabe biker rock star. Or something like that. They work the match to start. They trade some good solid wrestling for the first few minutes. Stone gets in his shots, but Joe hits his corner uranage to rally. Joe hits two _stiff_ kicks and a knee drop. Chops, a running forearm, and a bulldog for 2 on Stone at 5:00. Backbreaker by Joe, and then he hooks a Boston Crab. They trade some stiff forearms and shots at 7:00. Joe slaps him down and gets a small "IWA!" chant. Joe continues to pummel him, but Stone rallies with a neckbreaker/DDT/whatever and a lariat to the back. Joe hits a sweet sweep kick at 8:30. Joe rolls Stone to the floor and sets up the Olay kick with slaps to the face. He boots him in the face. Ouch. Back in, Stone actually powerslams Joe for 2 at 10:30. Stone lariats him for 2 at 11:00. Stone hits his finisher, the "White Out" (a novacaine/flatliner/downward spiral). Stone goes up and botches a moonsault, and both guys are down. Joe comes back with slaps and a HUGE leaping enzuigiri for 2, but Joe pulls him up and hits kicks and a nasty lariat. Chris Hero comes out and yells "just pin him!" to continue their feud. Joe hits the Island Driver and chokes Stone out for the win at 13:00. This was a stiff beating and a fun match. *** Hero stares down Joe after the match. Match eight: Austin Aries vs. Amazing Red: Red comes out to "Informer" by Snow. Ha. This is a first time ever match. Aries shoulder blocks Red and shows a little heelishness. Red grabs a headlock and they start off slow instead of just busting out spots, which is good. They start to speed it up, but Aries goes right back to the headlock. They trade arm drags, and Red hits a nice dropkick. Aries snapmares Red and kicks him in the back, then hits a seated dropkick at 4:15. Red comes back with some STIFF kicks of his own for 2 at 4:45. Flying headscissors and swinging neckbreaker by Red for 2 at 5:15. Aries does his cool slingshot elbow in the corner and then suplexes Red for 2 at 6:30. Austin drops Red and hits a "frog elbow" for 2 for 7:45. Aries powerslams Red for 2 at 8:30. He continues to beat him down with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker for 2 and then another cool backbreaker into a submission. Nice knee drop to the back, and then another submission. Aries keeps working the back...and then goes to a chinlock? Hmm. Red hits his fantastic tornado DDT at 10:30 and both guys are down. Red hits a clothesline, a running forearm, and his leaping enzuigiri for 2 at 12:00. Code Red countered to a facebuster by Aries for 2 at 13:00. Red tries the Code Red again, but they botch it. They do it again and this time Red hits it for 2 at 14:00. Aries hits a variation muscle buster for 2. Red hits a lariat and the Red Star Press for 2 at 15:30. Red heads up top but misses an elbow drop. Aries hits a brainbuster for 2 at 16:15. Red crotches Aries up top and hits a superduperplex, but Aries cradles him for the pin at 18:00. Red gets a "Please come back!" chant from the fans. Good match. The lack of psychology or selling by Red was bothersome at times, but it's what you expect from him I suppose. It was still fun. **3/4 Match nine: Matt Sydal and Delirious vs. B-Boy and Homicide: This is a qualifying match in the tag title tournament and I love all four guys in the match. Delirious chews on the ropes before the match. Great opening sequence by Sydal and Cide. Delirious uses his saliva to reverse a hammerlock by B-Boy. Ha. B-Boy drills Delirious with a forearm at 4:00. Delirious with a rana and a head scissors. Sydal gets a twisting lionsault senton for 2 at 5:00. Sydal hits a leg lariat at 5:30 and tags Delirious back in. B-Boy hits a nice backbreaker and tags in Homicide, who kicks the shit out of Sydal. Sydal ranas Homicide off the top at 7:30. B-Boy and Cide hit a powerbomb onto Cide's knee on Sydal! OUCH! B-Boy hooks a single leg crab at 8:30, but he gets the ropes. Homicide and B-Boy heel it up, faking that they're going to dive to the outside. B-Boy kicks the HELL out of Sydal. Homicide stretches Sydal out like crazy. B-Boy then applies one of the sickest submissions I've seen at 11:00. Sydal comes back with a rana and could tag out, but doesn't, and they play up the inexperience of Sydal and Delirious as a tag team. Homicide hits a butterfly superplex for 2 at 12:30. Bridging t-bone suplex for 2 at 13:00. Sydal comes back with a flying body press for 2 at 14:15. Hot tag to Delirious. Delirious hits a CRAZY tope to the floor on Homicide. OUCH! Homicide beats down Delirious, but Sydal comes over the top with a twisting body press. Sydal tries a dragon rana on B-Boy but they mess it up...though he still rolls him up for 2 at 15:45. Delirious hits a _GREAT_ back splash on B-Boy for 2 at 16:00. B-Boy and Homicide hit a Steiner-like elevated bulldog for 2 at 17:30. Delirious gets the crap beat out of him in the corner, and Homicide gets his running knee to the face and a SICK seated dropkick by B-Boy. Crazy swinging DDT by Sydal for 2. Homicide low blows Sydal and hits the COP KILLA~! DELIRIOUS BREAKS UP THE PINFALL! B-Boy hits the shining wizard on Delirious for the pin at about 18:30. The last few minutes of that match were all kinds of crazy. This was a ton of fun. **** Ian comes out after the match and puts everyone over. Match ten: BJ Whitmer vs. Nigel McGuinness (IWA title match): Whitmer is the heel champion, Nigel the babyface challenger. I've never been a big fan of Whitmer, but we'll see how he does here. McGuinness does a headstand spot in the corner at 2:00. He rolls Whitmer up for 2. Nigel does all sorts of funky wrestling, and BJ yells at the ref. Nigel works the arm and posts Whitmer's shoulder. Danny Daniels comes out and helps out Whitmer. Nigel hooks a crossface and rolls through with it to pull Whitmer away from the ropes. Daniels helps Whitmer to the ropes at 6:30. Nigel keeps working the shoulder. Whitmer finally comes back with a reverse neckbreaker and a spinning neckbreaker at 9:30. Whitmer tries a powerbomb, but his shoulder gives out and Nigel rolls him up for 2. Chris Hero, on commentary, points on that Whitmer keeps going for holds that use his bad shoulder, which is stupid. Amen, Chris. Nigel comes back with a chickenwing DDT at 13:00 and then applies another submission, but BJ gets the ropes. Whitmer grabs a chair, but Nigel kicks it into his arm! Nigel drives the chair into Whitmer's shoulder. Nigel hits a single arm/wristlock DDT and then hooks another submission. Whitmer taps, but Daniels distracts the ref and tosses Whitmer a chain. He punches...and Nigel takes him down into a crossface! Whitmer rolls through and punches Nigel with the chain and gets the pinfall at 15:30. This match was almost all Nigel, and since he has a lot of cool offense it was a lot of fun. The work on the shoulder was great, and the story with Whitmer only able to win using the chain seemed to fit. I'm still not a fan of Whitmer, but this match was good because it didn't follow the typical formula and Whitmer sold a lot for Nigel. ***1/4 Final thoughts: You can't really go wrong with this show. Sure, the European Rounds match was a disappointment, but you have one four-star match and four three star matches, not to mention the good Aries/Red match that was near three-stars as well. Plus, my DVD didn't have the women's tag team match on it for some reason, and I heard that was great. Wonder why it wasn't on here. The show still ran 3 hours and 15 minutes without it, though. Lots of great wrestling here. Very little in terms of brawling and the only weapons used all night were a chair and a chain. So if you're into good solid wrestling, this is a show you might want to check out. The great commentary is an added bonus.

The shitty part is that this (I believe) is the same weekend as IWA-MS Ted Petty Invitational, so none of these guys will be able to work for IWA-MS.

Are you kidding me? What matches on the card look GOOD? Especially from the ones added over the weekend? Are you excited about Mordecai vs. Holly and Suzuki vs. Gunn????

Agreed. So far this year? Maybe Danielson/Homicide or Punk/Joe from Ring of Honor. The Wrestlemania ME was good too. And yes, the Torch sucks.

Predictions: The Heat match will be Mark Jindrak over Billy Kidman. 1) Rey d. Chavo in a great opener 2) Kenzo Suzuki d. Billy Gunn in a horrible match 3) Luther d. Charlie Haas in a okayish/bad match 4) Torrie d. Sable in a horrible match 5) Mordecai d. Hardore Holly in a horrible match 6) Booker T wins the US title in a decent match, Cena eliminated after Angle interference to set up Cena/Angle at Summerslam 7) Taker/Dudleys have a horrible match and Paul Bearer dies...I guess 8) Eddie d. JBL in a decent match, about as good as JD, maybe a little worse.

(1) Triple H (78 pts.-4 First Place Votes) After working a program with Eugene, Triple H captured not only the highest point total, but also received more first place votes than anyone else. Triple H also wrestled a grueling 47 minute match at Bad Blood, which many onlookers called it a match of the year candidate. (2) Eugene (62 pts.) Eugene is quickly becoming a fan favorite, and his work with Triple H and The Rock has landed him in second place. (3) Eddie Guerrero (45 pts.) Eddie's feud with Bradshaw has entered into another PPV, and has many paying attention to his in ring work, as well as his banter with John Bradshaw Layfield, notching his place on the list at number three. (4) Chris Benoit (36 pts.-1 First Place Vote) Chris has held the title since WrestleMania, and seems to be destined for a rematch with Triple H at next month's Vengeance. Chris also pulled double duty two weeks ago at Bad Blood, as he defended his World Hvt. Title, and lost the Tag Team titles to La Resistance. His work puts him in the fourth spot. As you can see, Benoit and Undertaker tied in points, so because Benoit received a first place vote, he gets the nod and is fourth. (5) Undertaker (36 pts.) His involvement with Paul Heyman and the Dudleys nab him the fifth spot, as rumor has it he may turn heel, and drop Paul Bearer all together. (6) Kane (34 pts.) Kane not only put Shawn Michaels out of action, he is also involved in a bizarre love triangle with Matt Hardy and Lita. Kane also wrestled in what many called a great match against Chris Benoit at Bad Blood for the WWE Hvt. Title. (7) The Rock (33 pts.-2 First Place Votes) The Rock made an expected cameo appearance this past week on Raw. He hung around a bit, had fun, and made the list at number seven this week. (8) Randy Orton (28 pts.) Orton continues to impress critics with his in ring work ethic, and his mic skills. This week finds him in the eighth spot. (9) John Bradshaw Layfield (25 pts.-1 First Place Vote) JBL's promos have kept viewers interested, and is set for a WWE Title rematch at The Great American Bash. His promos and work with Eddie Guerrero have landed him in ninth place. (10) Paul Heyman (18 pts.) The only non-wrestler to make the list, Heyman seems to have breathed new life into the Dudleys, and has added to the Undertaker storyline, and has made it onto the list at tenth. Others receiving more than 10 pts.: Shawn Michaels (16 pts.-1 First Place Vote), The Dudleys(15 pts.), Samoa Joe(12 pts.), and Jeff Jarrett (11 pts.) ================================================ This is supposed to be for the "hottest" acts in wrestling - where is the hell is Cena?

They should have brought Wargames back to the GAB. But that would require them working on a good solid feud between several people...and we all know that's too complicated for SD's writers.

So is the Taker/Dudleys thing even a "match"? Or a way to turn Taker heel? God that match sounds stupid.

Weird about Manslaughter walking out. I don't even know who he is. They should have just had Bailey beat Pondo on night one. On the IWA boards someone said the Hero/Cide vs. Whitmer/Gordy tag match and the LHW matches were both very good. No more IWA shows for a month! Dammit!

IWA Mid-South Wrestling presented night two of the King of the Death Matches 2004 tournament on Saturday night, June 26th, at the Community Center Gym in Oolitic, Indiana. Here's what went down... 1. MsCHIF def. MICKIE KNUCKLES & DAIZEE HAZE in a women's division three-way. During the closing moments of the match, DELIRIOUS made his way to ringside, which took the referee's attention. As MsChif was about to give Mickie the Desecrator, Daizee hit the ropes to break it up, and got green mist to the eyes as she charged toward her. MsChif landed the Desecrator as the referee turned around to count the fall. MATT SYDAL rushed to ringside to check on Daizee, who was scheduled to be in his corner in the second match of the night stemming from Delirious ramming her into the ring post the previous night. Sydal rushed Daizee back to the locker room as several IWA staff attempted to wash the mist out of her eyes. 2. DELIRIOUS def. MATT SYDAL with the Chemical Imbalance II after just over fifteen minutes of action to win the IWA Mid-South Light Heavyweight Championship. This match saw a much more intense Delirious, who went to work on Sydal's injured arm/wrist for the duration of the bout. 3. CHRIS HERO & "The Notorious 187" HOMICIDE def. BJ WHITMER & RAY GORDY (w/ Jim Fannin) after a Cop Killa from Homicide on Gordy. 4. "Low Life" LOUIE RAMOS def. RYAN BOZ in an Unlucky Eleven Staple Gun Match where the winner was determined by which wrestler was able to staple six dollar bills to the body of his opponent. 5. CORPORAL ROBINSON def. IAN ROTTEN in a Ring Ropes Wrapped In Barbed Wire/Fluorescent Light Tube/Pool Of Rubbing Alcohol Match following a Boot Camp into the pool of alcohol, with light tubes and barbed wire covering it. Rotten was forced to swallow a mouthful of rubbing alcohol in the process of taking the maneuver. 6. TANK was scheduled to face MANSLAUGHTER in the next second round match, but MANSLAUGHTER did not make it to the ring for the match due to, very unprofessionally, walking out on the show earlier in the evening. IAN ROTTEN got on the microphone and explained to the fans what happened, and suggested that now no promoters will ever be able to count on Manslaughter, and he just cost himself any future in wrestling. Ian left it up to the fans as to whether Tank would get a bye into round three, or DERANGED would get a second chance in the tournament, in a rematch against Tank from the first round. The fans voted for the rematch, and got it. The match saw Tank defeat Deranged a second night in a row. 7. "Mr. Insanity" TOBY KLEIN def. JC BAILEY with a Death Valley Driver onto Electrified Fluorescent Light Tubes. After Klein severely burned the face of Mad Man Pondo by stapling a highly flammable type of paper to his face and setting it on fire at KOTDM night one, Pondo was forced to pull out of the tournament, and was replaced by his first round opponent, JC Bailey, who would get a second chance in the tournament. Klein, who was by many counts the tournament's "MVP," proved to be too much for Bailey to overcome. 8. CORPORAL ROBINSON def. "Low Life" LOUIE RAMOS in a Fans Bring The Weapons Match to advance to the finals of the tournament. 9. "Mr. Insanity" TOBY KLEIN def. TANK in a Fans Bring the Weapons Match to advance to the finals of the tournament. Klein made Tank tap after wrapping barbed wire across his mouth. After the match (and strong showing in the tournament), Tank was given a "Please come back" chant from the IWA fans. 10. CORPORAL ROBINSON def. "Mr. Insanity" TOBY KLEIN in the finals of the tournament, a 200+ Light Tube House of Pain Glass Death Match. The bout saw both men battle toward the back of the Oolitic Gym, toward a gigantic Light Tube Mansion (it was far from being one of the smaller "log cabins"), set up below a ledge along the back wall. Both men battled with chairs on the ledge until Klein was able to send Robinson from the ledge, crashing down onto the mansion. A cover which followed saw Robinson amazingly kick out, to the delight of the crowd on hand. The two made their way back toward the ring to conclude the match with a Boot Camp on a pile of tubes set up on the canvas in the center of the ring, which earned Corp his first King of the Death Matches crown in five years of active tournament competition. Robinson held onto the Cobra Clutch after landing the legsweep, as the referee checked Klein's arm, which dropped three times to signal Robinson's victory. The event was filmed with three cameras (including locker room interviews) for home video release by Smart Mark Video. Commentary was handled by Dave Prazak, Nate Webb, Mark Wolf, Chris Hero, and Matt Sydal. IWA will take the remainder of the summer months off from live events at the non air conditioned Community Center Gym in Oolitic. The next IWA events will be 7/23 in Lafayette, IN at the National Guard Armory (5220 East 200 South), and 7/31 in Highland, IN at the Linoln Center (235 Hoosier Avenue). Keep your eyes peeled to www.smartmarkvideo.com during the coming days for information on the videotape release of the tournament, as well as the 3+ hour Q&A session from Saturday afternoon.

Questions for those of you who watch SD every week (I haven't watched since before JD!) 1) How the hell does a concrete crypt match work? And I thought Undertaker was working for Heyman? (I thought I read that he bowed down before him, since Heyman had the urn or something) 2) What are the feuds behind Mordecai/Holly, Reigns/Haas, Sable/Torrie, and Suzuki/Gunn? 3) Will this show get a lower buyrate than Judgment Day?

Smackdown needs to create some more babyfaces. I mean they have Mordecai, Suzuki, Luther, Jindrak, and others they are trying to get over as killer heels...but what fan cares about any babyface on the roster aside from Eddie, Cena, Guerrero, Taker, and RVD? Anyways I can't watch this show, but I'm not too bummed out. Cool they're giving away all that footage for the people who get the webcast though.

Why is there such a time gap between shows?

Well Muta and Kojima and all the other guys on FB2003 too.

From the DVD boards: "In this week's observer it says they've lost nearly a half a million since opening up doors, which puts them in the red big. I always thought these guys were "breaking even on video sales" and now this comes out. Pretty wild that they were able to keep this big of a loss quiet for so long. That's big money to lose for an independent wrestling company."
