Quite a few guys pulling double duty. Should be two damn good shows. Obviously, Joe/Necro is the 'big match' but Tracy Smothers vs. Castagnoli (has the CZW commentator done some research and stopped calling him "Constanoli" yet?) should be all kinds of awesome. Punk/Homicide was pretty good way back at "IWA Fairytale: Dragon vs. Hero"...it'll be interesting to see Punk in the 'ECW'/'CZW' arena anyway.

 

CZW-wise, the Triple Threat and Hero/Kingston should be damn good. The Cage main event'll obviously have bumps galore, ditto the TLC with Nate and Bailey.

 

 

IWA's belltime is 2PM and obviously, cards are subject to change, with people pulling double duty and therefore the possibility of injuries. Looks a pretty exciting double header, on paper anyway.

I'd be very interested in seeing Necro vs. Joe. Necro really can wrestle, I've seen him do it, he's not just a hardcore guy.

[King Cucaracha 0]

As announced elsewhere, Punk vs. Homicide will be Punk's last match before joining the WWE.

[Youth N Asia 0]

I just have no interest in seeing Joe vs Necro...I guess maybe just for the sake it's not a match you're likely to see, but on pape it doesn't look good to me.

[JoeDirt 0]

Joe beat Necro and Jacbos retained the title...Iron Saints are new tag champs.

 

I've been wanting to see Joe vs. Necro for a while...apparently it was 10 minutes of stiffness and Necro bled a bunch.

IWA Mid-South Wrestling held a matinee show at the New Alhambra Sports Center (the former ECW Arena/Viking Hall) in Philadelphia, PA on Saturday afternoon, 6/11. Here's what went down...

 

1. JOSH ABERCROMBIE def. DELIRIOUS with the Phoenix Splash to win the IWA Light Heavyweight Title in the opening contest.

 

2. "The Notorious 187" HOMICIDE def. CM PUNK (w/ his ROH students) with an inside cradle. After the match, IAN ROTTEN thanked Punk for his contributions to IWA-MS and wished him well in whatever he decides for his future in wrestling. This Friday in Midlothian, IL, Punk will face D-LO BROWN in what could wind u p being of his final IWA-MS matches.

 

3. MICKIE KNUCKLES def. MsCHIF & ALLISON DANGER in a Three-Way Elimination Match to win the NWA Midwest/IWA Mid-South Women's Title. Danger was the first wrestler eliminated from the match after MsChif blew red mist in her eyes and she couldn't continue. MsChif busted Mickie open with a running knee strike in the corner with her spiked vest over Mickie's face. Mickie scored the deciding pinfall following the shining kick to the face. IAN ROTTEN and several IWA-MS wrestlers joined a bloody Mickie in the ring following her victory to congratulate her on achieving her dream.

 

4. "Double C" CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI (w/ Jade Chung) def. "Wild Eyed Southern Boy" TRACY SMOTHERS with use of a chain behind the referee's back.

 

5. "The Iron Saints" VITO & SAL THOMASELLIS won a Six-Way Elimination Tables Match to become the new IWA World Tag Team Titles. ERIC PRIEST came to the ring first and informed the fans that SILAS YOUNG was unable to make it to Philadelphia, but he got an ECW legend to be his partner, and introduced CHAD AUSTIN. They battled with the ROH students DAVEY ANDREWS & SHANE HAGADORN (who entered themselves into competition at the last minute) for the first two minutes, before JIM FANNIN & JADE CHUNG'S duo of EDDIE KINGSTON & BJ WHITMER entered the fray. Kingston eliminated both teams when he powerbombed Hagadorn on top of Austin, who was laying on a table, simultaneously eliminating both teams. Reigning champions TRIK DAVIS & RYAN BOZ were the next team to enter, followed by "The Iron Saints" of VITO & SAL THOMASELLI, and then BRANDON THOMASELLI & "The New Age Punisher" B-BOY. All of the teams fought for the next several minutes, until Whitmer & Kingston were eliminated when Brandon superbombed Chung off the ropes through Whitmer and the table. Vito & Sal then scored the deciding elimination when they hit the Double stomp off the top rope to the floor through a table on Davis.

 

6. IAN ROTTEN & AXL ROTTEN & "Spyder" NATE WEBB def. MAD MAN PONDO & JC BAILEY & "Mr. Insanity" TOBY KLEIN in a Hardcore Rules Six-Man Tag Team Match when Ian & Axl sandwiched the head of Pondo between two simultaneous chairhsots. Ian explained to the fans that their original partner BALLS MAHONEY had decided to not work the show due to wanting more money, but they convinced Webb to participate. After the match, Ian assured the Philly fans that IWA-MS would return in the future.

 

7. DANNY DANIELS def. "Anarchist" ARIK CANNNON in the first pairing of the Gauntlet Series for an IWA World Heavyweight Title shot after a tombstone piledriver.

 

8. CHRIS HERO def. DANNY DANIELS with the Hangman's Clutch in the second Gauntlet Series pairing to earn the title shot.

 

9. JIMMY JACOBS retained the IWA World Heavyweight Title against CHRIS HERO after throwing powder in his eyes and hitting the back senton off the top rope.

 

10. SAMOA JOE def. THE NECRO BUTCHER in the main event of the evening via knockout following several knee strikes and a kick to the side of the head. Afterwards, IAN ROTTEN told the fans he would give them a rematch between the two men.

 

NOTES: The event was filmed for VHS & DVD release by Smart Mark Video, with commentary by Dave Prazak, Jim Fannin, Steve Mack, CM Punk, Allison Danger, and Eddie Kingston.

 

IWA-MS returns to action this coming weekend, with events in the Chicago area. Friday, 6/17 is in Midlothian, IL at the Park District Rec Center. Saturday, 6/18 is in Hammond, IN at the Armory. Look for matches for both events to be announced on the IWA-MS web site during the coming days.

Damn...Delirious loses the LH title AND MsChif loses the women's title. But the show sounds good overall.

[Cuban Linx 0]

And some quick results for CZW's half of the double-header, "Violent By Design".

 

 

Niles Young d. Beef Wellington

 

Claudio Castagnoli d. Brandon Thomaselli

 

Frankie The Mobster d. Derek Frazier

 

Chris Hero d. Eddie Kingston

 

H8 Club d. Necro/Insanity. Apparently almost as insane as Necro/Joe earlier, also annoucned is a Fans Bring The Weapons re-match between the two teams, either at the CZW/IWS double-header or maybe even the Tournament of Death.

 

Mike Quackenbush d. Sabian & B-Boy to win the CZW Light Heavyweight Championship

 

Nate Webb d. JC Bailey in the TLC match. Post-match Bailey calls out Zandig, H8 Club get involved and we end up with a Bailey vs Zandig vs Nick Gage in an Ultraviolent Underground match in a Junkyard in Delaware, taking place tomorrow and shown next month.

 

Ruckus d. Sexxxy Eddy in a Steel Cage to retain the CZW World Heavyweight Championship. Kingston also turns and re-joins Blackout.

[King Cucaracha 0]

I still don't see anything 'special' in Abercrombie. Obviously Ian does, seeing as he won the Simply The Best flippy tournament and all. I just don't see it. Don't get me wrong, he's a decent wrestler. He's not going to be 'the next big star' though.

 

Kingston rejoining -BLK OUT- doesn't make sense either. Kingston vs. Ruckus for the title would have been the sensible way to go.

 

 

Looks like a decent couple of shows though anyway.

[Slingshot Suplex 0]

I don't understand Danny Daniels advancing over Cannon. Whenever I've seen Daniels since his face turn, nobody seems to react to the guy unless he's practically begging for reaction. He's completely bland. And Hero vs Cannon would have made more sense anyway with their history the last year.

 

And Mickie winning the women's title in MsChif's first defense of the title......I figured they'd build up her chase more. Plus the title really needed some stability since it's jumped from Mercedes Martinez to Aerial to Daizee to MsChif and now Mickie all in a matter of 5 months. I figured MsChif (the heel champ) would have 2 strong babyface challengers , Daizee and Mickie, plus ,occasionally,Traci Brooks, Merecedes and Allison Danger (Danger and Chif have a bit of history to play off of even heel vs heel)

 

Abercrombie is ok. I'm actually kinda glad Delirious dropped the LH title. He's been wrestling the same people in IWA-MS for practically a year now. The long Jacobs feud, Abercrombie, Thomaselli. Maybe give him some fresher matches now.

[King Cucaracha 0]

Daniels was getting hot reactions when he first turned and he got a very good reaction at the Midlo show. I wouldn't say he was 'bland', personally. He doesn't work best as a face though. Then again, it's all down to personal opinion I guess.

 

Seeing as Punk put him over strong, I don't see why Delirious couldn't go on to the HV Title now.

[Slingshot Suplex 0]

When I've seen him, he gets a nice pop coming out but then nobody reacts to him over the course of the match. If you constantly have to yell "Come on babaaaay!" to get the crowd to react to your match...then you're doing nothing but forcing a reaction.

 

As for Delirious, he technically won the feud with Jacobs so he should get some matches. Don't know if I'm ready for another D vs Jacobs feud though.

Yeah, as I say, he doesn't work best as a face. Not sure if it's his offense, his selling, I don't know, but something doesn't fit right as a face. He gets the pop and then he only really gets cheered for the C'MON BEH-BAY~! (which is a 'catchphrase', so it's not as bad when he shouts it as random generic face shouting) and when he cheats.

[Guest Evolution]

Danny is not a good face. Period.

Joe, post Necro match.

 

Ouch.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Just to clarify:

 

Kingston did a run in to the cage. He wiped out Mireno and Sabian, busting them open. He then turned on Eddy and aided Ruckus in victory. After the bout, he talked about tough love, and did what he did as payback for the tough love he was given for his failures in the past months. He stuck with group, and they were "blood brothers" now.
