Several news items to report regarding King of the Death Matches 2003, which will take place this Friday & Saturday night, August 1st & 2nd at the IWA Arena (1390 Woerner Avenue) in Clarksville, IN.

* IWA Mid-South is proud to announce that we have come to an agreement with the Samurai TV 24 hour martial arts and wrestling channel in Japan. A crew from Samurai TV will be in for the weekend's events, and KOTDM will air during the coming weeks on Japanese television. IWA is honored to have Samurai TV on board, as they will provide the competitors involved in the tournament, and the promotion as a whole, with tremendous international exposure.

 

* Lowlife Louie has pulled himself out of the tournament due to schedule conflicts. Replacing Louie in the tournament will be Deranged, who participated in IWA's 2001 KOTDM tournament, as well as CZW's Extreme 8 this year.

 

* Several as of yet unannounced non-tournament bouts will take place over the course of the weekend. Included in these matches will be "Classic" Colt Cabana, Alex Shelley, Nigel McGuinness, and others.
