IWA Mid-South Hardcore Wrestling presented the first night of the 2003 King of the Death Matches on Friday night, August 1st at the IWA Arena in Clarksville, Indiana. Here's what went down...

1. JERRY LYNN def. "Barbaric Berzerker" JIMMY JACOBS in a non-tournament matchup when Lynn countered the Contra Code and gave Jacobs a cradle tombstone piledriver to gain the pinfall victory.

 

2. MICKIE KNUCKLES def. HAILEY in Mickie's wrestling debut. Mickie sustained a concussion during the contest after a brutal forearm shot from Hailey. As Hailey was going for a fisherman buster, Mickie countered with an inside cradle for the win. Post-match, Hailey powerbombed Mickie head first on a steel chair.

 

3. MAD MAN PONDO def. "Spyder" NATE WEBB (w/ BECKY BAYLESS) in a High Impact Tables Match. Webb hit a splash off the 2nd beam on the wall next to the Spyder's Nest putting Pondo through two tables, as Bayless watched on inside the ring. Just as Nate was about to cover Pondo, LOLLIPOP hit the ring and attacked Bayless. Webb's attention was taken off of Pondo as he returned to the ring to pull his former valet off of Becky. Once Lollipop was taken away from ringside, Webb it a light tube moonsault onto Pondo on a table, but the table didn't break, and Pondo stood right up, got on top of Webb, and gave him a piledriver off the ropes through the table for the victory.

 

4. "Mean" MITCH PAGE (w/ JIM FANNIN) def. ROLLIN' HARD in a Taipei Death Match. Rollin' executed the flaming karate chop during the bout. Page scored the three count following Turn The Page (his version of the Rock Bottom) after Jim Fannin sprayed mace in Rollin's eyes.

 

5. BALLS MAHONEY def. HORACE THE PSYCHOPATH in a Barbed Wire Baseball Bat & Barbed Wire Boards Match. Mahoney gave Horace a chairshot while standing on the ring apron above a table with a barbed wire board on top of it, knocking Horace on top of the table. Balls hit an elbowdrop off the apron through the table for the victory.

 

6. JC BAILEY def. 2 TUFF TONY in a Barbed Wire Tables & Electrified Light Tubes Match. Bailey took the 2 Tuff Driver off the apron through a barbed wire table on the floor, and several other devastating maneuvers, but Tony pulled Bailey up after the ref counted two each time. Finally Tony was going for the Driver off the 2nd rope onto electrified light tubes, but Bailey countered with a sunset bomb onto it for the win.

 

7. ALEX SHELLEY def. SONJAY DUTT in a very fast paced back and forth junior heavyweight non-tournament contest with his version of the Darkness Driver. After the match, ADAM FLASH hit the ring and joined Dutt in working over Shelley until JIMMY JACOBS ran out from the locker room to make the save. Jacobs got on the mic and said that if anybody was going to kick Shelley's ass it was gonna be him, not two guys from CZW. Dutt and Flash then challenged the two to a CZW vs. IWA tag team matchup for Saturday night. Jacobs and Shelley accepted.

 

8. AXL ROTTEN def. CORPORAL ROBINSON in a Fans Bring The Weapons Match when THE MESSIAH hit the ring and drove Robinson through several light tubes set up between two chairs. Rotten was on the outside of the ring recovering from Robinson's attack and didn't see Messiah's interference before crawling into the ring and covering him to get the victory. Robinson got on the mic and vowed he'd get his hands on Messiah for costing him the tournament before the weekend is done.

 

9. NICK GAGE def. DYSFUNCTION in a Four Corners Of Pain Match following a brainbuster in a pit of thumbtacks brought inside the ring.

 

10. THE NECRO BUTCHER def. "Mr. Insanity" TOBY KLEIN in a Fans Bring The Weapons Match with the Asiatic Spike.

 

11. IAN ROTTEN def. THE MESSIAH in the East Coast Thumbtack Death Match. Fans from the east coast brought over 176,000 thumbtacks for the bout. During the match, Messiah took Rotten's boots and socks off of his feet, leaving Ian to wrestle barefoot for the final minutes of the match. As Messiah was going to superplex Rotten off the top rope, CORPORAL ROBINSON attacked Messiah and gave him a 2nd rope Boot Camp, setting up Rotten gaining the pinfall. Messiah grabbed the mic after the match and told Robinson he wanted a match with him on Saturday night, and said he will put the CZW Heavyweight Championship on the line.

 

12. CHRIS HERO def. HOMICIDE to retain the IWA World Heavyweight Title via tap out after hitting the Hero's Welcome and locking in the Hangman's Clutch in the center of the ring. These two battled for upwards of 25 minutes of back and forth American strong style action. After the bell, DANNY DANIELS, who was suspended by IWA management for his actions a few weeks ago, gave Hero a piledriver on the title belt, and piledrove referee BRIAN GORIE as well. Homicide came to Hero's aid, attacking Daniels, until BJ WHITMER ran into the ring and gave Homicide a brainbuster. Finally the locker room cleared and security threw Daniels out of the building. Whitmer got on the mic and told Homicide that he wants revenge from Homicide busting his nose in New Jersey a few weeks ago, and would have no problem doing it in the IWA Mid-South if that's what it takes. A match was set for Saturday night's card between the two. Hero got on the mic and asked Rotten to make a match with him and Daniels for night two, but Ian refused, citing that Daniels is no longer employed by IWA Mid-South. Hero gave Rotten an ultimatum in response, saying that IWA just lost CM Punk, and if Ian didn't allow him to fight Daniels on Saturday night, he just lost Chris Hero as well. Rotten gave in and agreed to allow Hero to wrestle Daniels, and said it would be held under Texas Death Match rules.

 

The show was filmed by Smart Mark Video, complete with backstage interviews after the matches. Commentary was done by Dave Prazak, Steve Stone, Nate Webb, and Ian Rotten. The footage shot by SMV will be used by Samurai TV.

Corporal robinson is out allready. I thought he was going all the way.

[Guest Sandman9000]

Corp out in first round = bullshit.

 

Ian's gone and fucked with the brackets, so anyone's predictions are done now. I'll say Ian over Balls, Bailey over Necro, Pondo over Axl, and Gage over Page. Semis, Bailey over Ian and Pondo over Gage, then Pondo over Bailey in that construction from hell thing they've got there, to make Samurai TV happy. Dammit, 4 Pondo matches on my KODM tapes = bad.

 

Speaking of which, this thing has to be going 3 tapes. 12 matches on Friday, 13 on Saturday, plus the Q&A, this things going to be massive. I'll still get it, though.

[Guest Josh Rumbin]

The Q&A is a seperate sale, it has nothing to do with the KOTDM tape

[Guest Randy Pan]

Not the corporal. Damn.

 

My new tip is Bailey.
