IWA-MS Lafayette Results from 4/17

[Phoenix Fury Legdrop 0]

"Spyder" Nate Webb d. J-Rocc and Frankie the Face in a three-way (Average three-way fare)

 

The Highlanders (Rory and Robbie McAllister d. Perfect Strangers (Trik Davis and Emil Sitoci (Fun little Southern-style tag match)

 

Lacey and Daizee Haze wrestled to a draw in a 2/3 falls match when both got one fall on each other, but when neither could answer the referee's ten-count after simultanious Yakuza kicks to each other, the match was ruled a tie (Daizee looked better as a worker here than she has in a while; both women got nasty wounds on their faces after a powerbomb spot where it looked like they headbutted each other on the way down)

 

Delirious d. Chad Collyer (Another fun match in the vein of Delirious/Nigel from April Bloodshowers; lots of whacky matwork)

 

Matt Sydal d. Austin Aries to retain the IWA-MS Light Heavyweight Title (You WANT to see this match; best Aries match I've ever seen; lots of innovative stuff tied in to make sense within the context of the match...and yes, the return of the FLIPPY SHIT ELBOW~! from Aries)

 

Chris Hero d. "Anarchist" Arik Cannon in a European Rules match (some of the rules were: 12 rounds of 3 minutes, both had cornermen (Hero had Emil Sitoci, Cannon had Frankie the Face), no low blows, no attacks to the opponent while on their knees, first two violations would be a yellow card, and the third would be a red card and DQ, and the match would be two out of three falls. Excellently-worked match, with both guys introducing the stips to the American audience very well; creative spot where Cannon nailed the Glimmering Warlock (Shining Enziguri) on Hero, and got called for a yellow card since Chris was on one knee; Cannon worked Hero's legs to cut the much-taller Hero down to size)

 

Danny Daniels, Ryan Boz, and Jim Fannin (sporting a funny "Jimmania" yellow and red tank top that I WILL buy if it ever goes on eBay) d. Ian Rotten and Steve Stone (Worked as the reverse of the usual tag match, with Ian and Stone getting in all of the fake tags behind the referee's back to compensate for the disadvantage; both Ian and Stone got spike-piledriven (Stone was given the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' piledriver thingy) so that Fannin could go over and pin Ian for the win)

 

NOTES: Cannon/Hero and Aries/Sydal were probably two of the best matches to happen at an IWA Lafayette show ever...both Aries and Sydal will be wrestling Red during the weekend of May 7th and 8th, as IWA Mid-South comes back to Lafayette and Highland, including the IWA returns of B-Boy and Homicide, and the debut of the Havana Pitbulls...Ian announced before the show that the Strong Style Revolution tournament will take place in Lafayette in October as a part of the IWA Anniversary Weekend.

Doesn't look to be the most inspiring card at first glance but I could be wrong.

Thanks CL, where'd you get the results? IWA site's only listing the latest update as 4/10 for me..

The miscellaneous board on CZWFans.com is where i found them, most IWA results seem to find their way there pretty quickly.

[Guest DeputyHawk]

Ahh. Good tip, thanks!

I don't really follow IWA yet. I just started getting into it because of the ex-Gateway wrestlers but I'm confused on one thing. If Danny Daniels beat Chris Hero in a "loser leaves IWA-MS" stip match in January,why is Hero back after about 2 1/2 months? And wouldn't Daniels be a little pissed?

I believe Mark Wolf became a commissioner, defeated Danny Daniels, and immediately brought back Chris Hero. Good decision in my opinion, as Chris Hero is IWA Mid-South and neither are the same without the other.

Yeah, Wolf made a match between himself and Daniels for April Bloodshowers a couple of weeks ago where, if Danny won, Wolf himself would have to quit wrestling for life. But, if Wolf won, he got an undisclosed stipulation. Wolf won, he asked for Hero back, Ian initially said no, but after Wolf asked the fans in attendance, who were all chanting for Hero, Ian gave in and Chris Hero is now reinstated.

Any reports on how good the Hero/Daniels Last Man Standing match was?
