JoeDirt 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2004 IWA Mid-South Wrestling, in association with NWA Midwest, returned to the National Guard Armory in New Albany, IN on Thursday night, 10/7. Here's what went down... 1. RYAN BOZ def. PROPHET. 2. DANNY DANIELS def. TRUTH MARTINI. 3. RYUJI ITO def. JC BAILEY. 4. MAD MAN PONDO def. ZACH GOWEN. 5. DELIRIOUS def. "Double C" CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI & BRANDON THOMASELLI. 6. DAISUKE SEKIMOTO def. "Spyder" NATE WEBB. 7. NIGEL McGUINNESS def. CHRIS HERO. Live Notes: The event was filmed for home video release by IWA-MS, with commentary by Dave Prazak and Jim Fannin... Ian Rotten pulled out of his scheduled match against Zach Gowen due to injuries suffered this past Tuesday on the IWA East Coast event in Nitro, WV. Mad Man Pondo took Ian's place against Gowen... Nate Webb sustained a concussion on a tumbleweed dive to the floor during his match against Sekimoto. He intends on fulfilling his other bookings this week despite the injury... The seven NWA Wildside representatives being sent for the IWA Mid-South/NWA Wildside Challenge on 10/28 in New Albany are Todd Sexton, Tank, Salvatore Rinauro, Vito Thomaselli, Sal Thomaselli, Iceberg, and Seth DeLay. Following an impressive debut match against Delirious and Claudio Castagnoli, Ian invited Brandon Thomaselli to compete on the IWA side on 10/28, but against his brother Vito. Brandon accepted... Nigel McGuinness worked over the arm of Chris Hero for the majority of the main event, which saw both men brawl around the building to start things off before breaking into a more scientific contest inside the ring moments later. Nigel pinned Hero with a backslide, and his feet on the ropes for leverage... Jim Fannin came to the ring after intermission with a contract in his hand, representing "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson in issuing a challenge to Ian Rotten for a match on the 10/28 card. Rotten refused, as Danielson does not wrestle for Wildside, and he has nothing to prove in a match against him. Fannin called Ian a "coward" for not taking the match, even though it was Danielson who attacked Rotten from behind on 9/16 in New Albany. Ian finally got so frustrated with Fannin that he accepted the match, to prove he's not afraid of Danielson. IWA-MS is back in action THIS SATURDAY NIGHT, October 9th, at the National Guard Armory (1015 S. Main Street) in Scottsburg, IN. Bell time is 7:30pm. All seats just $10, and available at the door. Ringside seats can be reserved in advance by leaving your name and how many tickets you'd like held on the IWA Louisville hotline voicemail at 502-569-1701. The Scottsburg Armory is located just off Exit 29 on I-65. The Scottsburg show will be started with a battle royal, with the order of elimination from the royal determining the match pairings on the card. Additionally, IWA Women's Division action will feature frequent tag team partners DAIZEE HAZE and MICKIE KNUCKLES against one another in singles competition.

Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2004 One of the weaker shows IWA looks to have put on for a while, but with IWA now seemingly putting on a ton of shows every month that's bound to happen sometimes. I'm sure Nigel/Hero rocked, and Daniels/Martini, Sekimoto/Webb and Ito/Bailey could all be decent/fun as well. Also glad to see the IWA/Wildside show is going ahead once again, happy to see Seth DeLay making his IWA debut, though i would have liked to see Rainman and a few others on the show as well. Eager to see Rotten/Danielson happen as well, everything Danielson touches turns to gold lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeDirt 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2004 The 10/9 Scottsburg show was rescheduled, tentatively for 10/29, I believe. Yeah, the show was definitel a smaller one. Ian said he's just trying to get the fans used to having IWA there, and if the shows do well he'll make them bigger the next few times, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Markingout Report post Posted October 10, 2004 The only thing interesting about the show was Nigel and Hero. Talk about mat wrestling....It probally owned. If your into that wacky submission stuff. Ito/Bailey should be good seeing as Bailey will die for our pleasure, and Ito is the best deathmatch worker in the world, the only one that can possibly be tied with Ito is Necro Butcher.
