No doubt. I REALLY am looking forward to this one. Anything else announced for the show? EDIT: Nevermind...women's tournament. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Horse You Rode In On Report post Posted May 16, 2004 I expected some sort of match with Chris Hero and CM Punk on opposing sides, an elimination match with those six could go all night long. It should also ensure anyone who may be turned off by the thought of a mostly women's wrestling show gives more thought to either going or buying the tape.

Michrome 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2004 I think it's kind of Ian's way of admitting the tournament isn't drawing. Honestly, it's a bunch of crap to lecture fans about needing to be respectful about women's wrestling, and then booking an indy dream match on a women's show that will completely overshadow the girls.

Slingshot Suplex 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2004 I would hope they are smart enough to realize they probably weren't going to fill the building with a women's tourney and some incidental men's matches. Besides, it seems like they said right from the start, that it wasn't going to be an all women's show. The Survival of the Stiffest match will get more people in the door. Then it's up to the women to try to impress. From everything I've been told, Dave Prazak's goal is to make a credible and competitive women's division in IWA-MS. The 6 man match will steal some of the thunder from the women's tourney but I don't think it will completely overshadow it. I'd be going if not for a pending vacation and car insurance and I can't spare a Chicago road trip on top of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Horse You Rode In On Report post Posted May 17, 2004 I don't think there are any womens tourney brackets yet, or if there are i can't find them anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
