JoeDirt 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2004 IWA Mid-South Wrestling, in association with NWA Midwest, presented "2004: An IWA Freak-A-Thon" on Friday, 11/19 at the National Guard Armory in Bloomington, IN. Here's what went down... 1. JC BAILEY def. DANNY DEMANTO after hitting the Bardstown Bam top rope legdrop. 2. DAVEY ANDREWS def. BRANDON THOMASELLI & JOSH ABERCROMBIE in a three-way bout when Andrews pinned Abercrombie. 3. "Spyder" NATE WEBB & MATT SYDAL def. PETEY WILLIAMS & DELIRIOUS when Sydal pinned Delirious. 4. DAIZEE HAZE def. TRACY BROOKS & MICKIE KNUCKLES in a three-way match after Haze hit the Daizee Cutter on Brooks. 5. BJ WHITMER def. IAN ROTTEN when JIM FANNIN tripped Rotten and held his leg down during the count. 6. ALEX SHELLEY def. "The New Age Punisher" B-BOY via submission with the Border City Stretch. 7. CM PUNK def. JIMMY JACOBS via submission with the Anaconda Vise. The event was filmed for home video release by Smart Mark Video, with commentary by Dave Prazak, CM Punk, Jim Fannin, and Nate Webb. ================== From RealDeal on the IWA boards for the 11/20 results: "Crowd was down, I'd say it was the lowest since the June show, but that's just a guess. I'd say close to 200 people were there, again just a guess. Ian came out to open the show with CM Punk. Punk said he just wanted to clear up the rumors as to why he was not going to be on the show at first. He said it was because Ian sold tapes to the boy toucher & he hates that guy & doesn't want to put money in his pockets. Punk said he was prepared to forfeit the belt a couple of weeks ago when this happened but Ian promised him he wouldn't sell tapes to the guy again. Punk said there are three places to get tapes from, IWA, SMV & the guy who tried to solicit a 14 year old boy for sex, don't buy tapes from him as he charges to much S&H & his service sucks. Punk left & Ian talked about the money problems, he said thy weren't that bad & everythng will be straightened out soon. Ian announced that some of the Wilside guys including Rainman will be on the 12/12 show & also Terry Funk will be there. Oh yeah, Balls Mahoney called Ian while he was giving his speech. Highland told Balls hello. No big deal, just thought I'd add that little tidbit. They had the battle royal to start& it was over in about two minutes. I'm almost positive Punk came out in a Conquistadors type outfit, with mask & all. He just kept thrusting people in the throat until he was eliminated. Brandon Thomaselli won by eliminating Webb & Andrews at the same time. Trik Davis beat Chandler McClure by DQ when Cash Flo interfered. Crpl. Robinson made the save. It turned into a tag match & Davis pinned McClure. Corp did nothing. Davey Andrews over Matt Turner & Josh Abercrombie. This was kinda sloppy & Abercrombie looks kinda gay. I'm sure his a nice guy & all, but is he getting booked because he's Jimmy Jacobs roommate. I mean he was greener then the trainees. Maybe it was just who he was in there with, I don't know. After the match, Andrews spit on an albino kid. No really, an albino. Buy the tape. Alex Shelley came out & said Petey Williams got hurt last night & couldn't wrestle but he had a special tag team partner who has recovered from his injury. Arik Cannon's music hit & Petey came out with a trash bag on & padding to make it look like he had a gut. They ran down Cannon for quitting just because he broke his collarbone. Shelley said what kind of guy quits from a broken collarbone. The irony of it all. Boz & Bradley over Shelley & Williams. Petey mimicked the Road Dogg & Jeff Jarrett in this match, which was kind of depressing. I have no idea why they ran down Cannon like that, seeing as though he was a heel. I guess when he comes back he won't be. Rain over Mickie, I love Mickie's jailhouse/homemade tatoo on her forearm. It's HOT. Whitmer beat Daniels in a finishers match. The action was pretty good, but the logic was retarded. They tried to pin each other with the other guys finisher, when the rules of the match clearly stated you couldn't get a pinfall that way. Fannin took a piledriver. Whitmer gave Daniels three exploder suplexes before he could finish him. Daizee Haze beat Traci Brooks. This was alright (seriously, it was) & Traci looked pretty nice tonight. I still prefer the school girl outfit from the tag tourney but what can ya do. Daizee worked over Traci's leg most of the match. Traci sold really well. Maybe next month Daizee & Lacey will have their iron woman match. Steve Stone over Ian Rotten in what turned out to just be a tables match. Ring announcer Joey Eastman said later that Ian broke his collarbone. I saw Ian after the show & he was all bandaged up. Seems legit but who knows. Matt Sydal won a triple threat match with B-Boy & Nate Webb by pinning B-Boy. Match was a lot of fun, but just a TON of highspots & kicking out of all kinds of devasting moves. Everyone danced afterward. Good times. Jacobs over Delirious in a first blood match when Delirious hit the title belt & his hand started bleeding. They brawled afterwards & will have a title versus mask match on 12/12. CM Punk beat Thomaselli. Good match. Punk beat he shit out of him for a long time. Good nearfalls at the end. I'm glad Punk won though. Good show, nothing can't miss really, except for the albino. But worth my time & money for the evening. Now if they would just announce some matches for Valpo. Oh yeah, Ian said they will be running in Joliet in the new year."

Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2004 Brandon Thomaselli seems an odd choice to be main eventing the Highland event. From doing nothing of note in a few undercard matches to going for the Title in IWA's biggest town is quite a jump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slingshot Suplex 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2004 Well, I wasn't going to make the 6 hour Highland run again till spring. But Delirious vs Jacobs title vs mask, the probability of Daizee vs Lacey 30 minute iron woman match and Terry Funk too? Yeah, I'm there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenix Fury Legdrop 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2004 I was at the show... Petey & Shelley were HILARIOUS in their mimicking of Arik Cannon. Petey having to be ginger climbing into the ring to "protect the baby" cracked everyone up, as did the series of moves that Shelley & Petey did to Bradley's leg that mimicked other wrestlers (Goldberg's spear followed by his exploding pose thingy, the KneeDT followed by Shelley doing the crucifix pose and sitting down in the corner ala Raven, Petey doing The Stroke to Bradley's knee and then strutting around the ring like Jarrett...and about five others). Davey Andrews is going to be the shit once he gets some more experience. He's already becoming kind of good at heeling it up, and the dude's got his basics down really well. He was also hitting Abercrombie (who didn't look NEARLY as bad as that guy from the IWA boards made him out to be) and Turner like they were dating his mother. Just brutal. Sydal/B-Boy/Webb was awesome as a spotfest. I don't think there was really a lot of substance there, but they hit so many great-looking, original three-way spots. The crowd ate it up and gave them their due with a standing ovation after the match, which led to B-Boy busting out some of that pop-and-lock stuff that they used to show off in those really bad Britney Spears' dance instructor's videos. Punk/Thomaselli was probably the most fun I've had watching a CM Punk match in forever. Punk was VERY Flair-esque here, totally making everyone in the building believe that the hometown boy with less than five IWA matches, all of which were meaningless undercard bouts, not only had a chance, but was going to win the IWA Title. Hopefully, Brandon'll get a lot of pub from this match. Overall, I personally thought it was a lot better than the 8th Anniversary Show, and this is with a "scaled-down roster".

Guest DeathBecomesYou Report post Posted November 27, 2004 Sounds like an interesting couple of shows, I want to see this Davey Andrews kid to see what the hype is about. Cool to see Brandon Thomaselli get a shot too, from the little i've seen he seem to have a lot of talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
