--DANIELS DEFENDS AGAINST SHELLEY, JACOBS, SABIN!!

--HERO AND B-BOY BATTLE TO DOUBLE PIN; REMATCH FORTHCOMING!!

--FULL RESULTS FROM 12/20 HIGHLAND EVENT!!

 

IWA Mid-South Wrestling returned to the Lincoln Center in Highland, Indiana on Saturday night, December 20th with "Stylin & Profilin." Here's what went down...

 

1. "All Star" CRU JONES def. JOE E. LEGEND in the opening contest, and Legend's IWA Mid-South debut. Legend hit Jones with a cross body off the top rope, but Legend's momentum rolled Jones on top of him, into a cover, and Cru got the three count.

 

2. DAIZEE HAZE & MICKIE KNUCKLES def. RAIN & LACEY in a womens tag team bout when Daizee rolled up Lacey for the pinfall. During Rain's pre-match diatribe, she explained how she has competed in IWA Mid-South for two years now, has wrestled at the past two TPIs, was on the first show at the IWA Arena, and takes offense to Mickie and Daizee trying to take her spot. Thus, her partner would be the one wrestler who has a similar complaint, in longtime rival Lacey. The IWA veteran women worked very well as a team, utilizing several double team move combinations, including a russian legsweep and neckbreaker combination. Daizee took the brunt of the punishment in the later portions of the bout, before pulling out the victory after catching Lacey off guard.

 

3. MATT SYDAL wrestled DELIRIOUS to a no-contest in a rematch from the 11/21 Highland event when BRAD BRADLEY & RYAN BOZ hit the ring and attacked both wrestlers, putting an end to the matchup. Bradley & Boz' managerial team of JIM FANNIN & "The Hustler" CARMINE DESPIRITO proceeded to get on the microphone and complain about their men not being given a match on the card, yet "these two midgets" have a match. Sydal took the microphone and said he and Delirious weren't afraid to face them in a tag match, and an impromptu bout began immediately.

 

4. MATT SYDAL & DELIRIOUS def. BRAD BRADLEY & RYAN BOZ (w/ Jim Fannin & Carmine DeSpirito) after IAN ROTTEN came to the aid of Sydal & Delirious at ringside, leading to the two light heavyweights scoring an upset pinfall. Sydal & Delirious attempted to use their speed and agility to overcome the tremendous size difference, but ultimately Bradley & Boz wound up hitting several devastating double team maneuvers during the course of the matchup. After Ian Rotten's assistance at ringside cost Fannin & DeSpirito's men the victory in the match, they all attacked Rotten, and were joined in the ring by DANNY DANIELS and BJ WHITMER in the assault. Despite attempts to help Rotten by Sydal & Delirious, they were able to injure Ian's arm and leave him a bloody mess before the locker room emptied into the ring to run the men off. "Metalhead" STEVE STONE got on the mic and said that he'd be at Ian's side anytime he needs him if they continued to be a thorn in his side.

 

Also following the brawl, as the wrestlers made their way back to the locker room, CORPORAL ROBINSON confronted MAD MAN PONDO in the ring about being in the building despite not being involved in a match on the card. The result was Pondo being thrown into the mix in the 100,000 Thumbtack Death Match later in the night between Corp and THE NECRO BUTCHER, as the match turned into a three way.

 

5. "Metalhead" STEVE STONE def. "Anarchist" ARIK CANNON (w/ Weird Cookie) following the Stonesault off the top rope.

 

After intermission it was announced that BJ WHITMER's scheduled opponent, IAN ROTTEN, would be unable to compete due to the attack earlier in the night. Rotten came to ringside and told Whitmer he wouldn't have it easy and get a forfeit win, that he'd have to face a friend of his who happened to be in the building to visit, but had his wrestling gear in his car-- fresh from his tour of Pro Wrestling NOAH in Japan, ACE STEEL.

 

6. ACE STEEL def. BJ WHITMER (w/ Jim Fannin) via pinfall following the Gory Special Neckbreaker. During the course of the matchup, Steel focused on the arm of Whitmer, while BJ worked over Ace's back and neck.

 

7. JC BAILEY def. "Spyder" NATE WEBB to retain the IWA Light Heavyweight Championship, with his feet on the ropes for extra leverage. The two juniors began the match with straight up hold for hold wrestling, but eventually began to take more risks as time progressed. Two ladders as well as several steel chairs were introduced into the matchup, and brutalized both combatants physically. Both absorbed a vicious amount of punishment during the closing minutes of the contest, before finally Bailey chose to take the shortcut of pinning Webb with his feet on the ropes to walk away from Highland still the IWA Light Heavyweight Champion. Post-match, Spyder reminded Bailey that he has one week to rest up and prepare before Nate takes the Light Heavyweight Title back from Bailey in a tables match at the Salem Armory, where the pinfall must take place after a maneuver off the top of a U-Haul truck, through tables.

 

8. CHRIS HERO wrestled "The New Age Punisher" B-BOY to a double pin draw in a rematch from their bout at the 2003 Ted Petty Invitational tournament. Fans chanted for five more minutes, as well as "Match of the Year" in reaction. IAN ROTTEN offered to bring B-Boy back whenever his schedule allows, and requested that B-Boy return to Highland the next time he is available, and give the fans the rematch, but to a decisive finish, and under a two out of three falls format. B-Boy accepted, and the two men congratulated one another in the ring on a hard fought battle.

 

9. "The Phenomenal" AJ STYLES def. MICHAEL SHANE with the Styles Clash. This was a first time singles meeting between these two wrestlers anywhere in professional wrestling, and it was in an IWA Mid-South ring. Shane was able to connect with the superkick during the match, but the impact sent Styles through the ropes and out to the ringside floor, keeping Shane from going for an immediate cover to try to win the bout. Shane was able to counter several Styles Clash attempts, including a 2nd rope Styles Clash, but when all was said and done Styles did finally hit the manuever to score the pinfall victory.

 

As DANNY DANIELS and ALEX SHELLEY made their way to the ring for the IWA World Heavyweight Title contest, IAN ROTTEN approached ringside and informed Daniels that he and Fannin would pay for their part in taking him out earlier in the show. Rotten announced that not only would Daniels have to face Shelley, but he would have two additional opponents gunning for the title. In addition, Ian ruled it would be an elimination style matchup, which meant Daniels would have to be the last man standing in the match to retain his title.

 

10. DANNY DANIELS (w/ Jim Fannin) def. "The Next" ALEX SHELLEY & "Barbaric Berzerker" JIMMY JACOBS (w/ Becky Bayless) & "The Future" CHRIS SABIN in a four way elimination match to retain the IWA World Heavyweight Championship. After roughly 8 minutes of back and forth action from all four competitors, Jacobs went to hit a dive over the top rope to the floor on Daniels, but Daniels wound up catching Jacobs and powerbombing him on the floor, aggrivating Jacobs' back injury sustained on Thanksgiving night in Salem, IN. Jacobs was tended to on the floor by several wrestlers, and carried from ringside back to the locker room. This left Shelley, Daniels, and Sabin to go at it for the championship. After several additional minutes of all three men trading the advantage, Jacobs slowly emerged from the locker room and made his way back to ringside and put himself back into the bout. The injured Jacobs was unable to last much longer in the match, as he soon fell victim to Shelley's Shellshock, and was eliminated. The second elimination came when Sabin pinned Shelley following an off the shoulders michinoku driver. Finally, Daniels eliminated Sabin after the Rubik's Cube.

 

After the match, CHRIS HERO entered the ring and grabbed the microphone, saying that he's sick of Daniels getting involved in his matches, and told Daniels that he wants a match against Daniels in front of the Highland fans in January. Daniels countered by saying he is sick of hearing everyone talk about what Chris Hero does, and how great his matches are, yet Daniels is the titleholder, and won the TPI this year. Daniels said he'd give Hero the match, but only of Hero would agree to make the stipulation that the loser must leave IWA Mid-South. Hero accepted the stipulation, but only if all of Daniels' associates couldn't be involved in the match to help Daniels get a victory, and the only way to do that, is to hold it inside of a steel cage. Daniels agreed, and the match was signed for the 1/17 event in Highland. This will wind up being the second of two steel cage matches between Hero and Daniels during the course of one month's time, as they will square off in a cage for the championship this coming Saturday, 12/27, in Salem, IN as well. The 1/17 Highland bout will have the added twist of the loser leaves IWA stipulation.

 

11. CORPORAL ROBINSON def. THE NECRO BUTCHER (w/ Jim Fannin) & MAD MAN PONDO

in a three way 100,000 Thumbtack Death Match when he pinned Necro. In a wild hardcore brawl to close the show, Corp gave Necro a superplex off the top rope to the floor-- one of the sickest points of the bout. And in a moment that brought the building to its feet, Corp and Pondo gave Fannin a slam off the top rope into the thumbtacks!

 

The show was filmed by Smart Mark Video for home video release, with commentary by Dave Prazak, Chris Hero, Steve Stone, Arik Cannon, and Nate Webb.

As a regular viewer of Gateway Championship Wrestling, I can personally vouch for how good Matt, Delirious, and Daizee are...and it's great that more and more people are getting to find that out for themselves.
