IWA-MS 8/19 matches...Necro vs. Homicide!

[JoeDirt 0]

IWA-MS announced three matches for the 8/19 Midlothian, IL show:

 

Necro Butcher vs. Homicide

Ian Rotten vs. Eddie Kingston (last man standing)

Chris Hero vs. Arik Cannon

 

Plus Corporal Robinson will be there if his wife doesn't go into labor. I guess Corp is back now that DP is gone.

 

I can't WAIT to see Necro/Homicide!

[Guest DeathBecomesYou]

Fuck that actually looks pretty good so far. Necro/'Cide sounds good and Kingston/Ian should be awesome.

[Guest Evolution]

I hope they make damn sure Homicide makes it to Midlo, because I think there'll be a lot of angry people who'll hate Ian if 'Cide can't make it.

Ian just got off the phone with Homicide. Homicide has double-booked himself ,taking IWA's booking after commiting to work JAPW. He has apoligized to Ian and IWA. We will try to announce a suitable replacement in the next day or two for NecroButcher to face on the 19th. Ian wanted this on the board as soon as he found out. But Homicide will be returning soon in the TPI , if not before then.

Does anyone else think that if TPI doesn't do up to expectations that Ian might be ready to do in IWA-MS? I keep getting the feeling that losing Highland and then losing Prazak , who seemed to be one of the backbones of the promotion, and the attendance figures are really going to add up to a lot of frustration. Plus, with using fewer name people on the shows, I would imagine that will eventually cut into their tape /dvd sales which seemed to be what was holding them afloat financially.

 

I'm starting to get this weird feeling that the 9th anniversary show might be the last anniversary show we'll see out of IWA Mid-South.

Necro/Cide has been switched to...

 

Necro vs. Roderick Strong!

[King Cucaracha 0]

Wow...that's an odd choice.

[Phoenix Fury Legdrop 0]

Not really...in terms of the whole hard-hitting, strong style department, Strong's got a reputation that ranks probably right below Joe. I figure they'll say Necro took this match to prepare for the Samoa Joe rematch in September.

I look forward to Necro finding a way to take Roderick's backbreakers on his head.

[Guest Evolution]

I can imagine the commentary for this one:

 

Eddie Kingston: "How do you backbreaker someone on their head? *manic laughter*"

 

Won't be the same without Prazak going soprano in excitement or going "WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK", though.

Apparently, Corporal Robinson's wife had their baby. Not that he's gonna see this but congrats, Corp!

IWA:MS is all but dead.

 

Good training ground for scrubs looking to get ready for JAPW and then ROH.

"After much thought and consideration, we have decided with what direction the company is going in, that Saturday December 17th in Midlothian, Illinois could become the last IWA M/S show! We are piling up large amounts of debt with what seems like no end in sight. We do hope with a successful 2005 TPI tournament that maybe this could be the start of turning something around. Also at this time we are announcing to our fans that the Philly show for Sept. 3 has been cancelled, due to our inability to book talent to make this card strong enough to feel we can draw in this market. Also to let fans asking about the Japan trip, it is officially off. Many of you (along with many of the deathmatch wrestlers) have expressed their feelings on there being another King of the Deathmatch Tournament. If we can find a building we would like to make this possible in October or November. And with the past success of the deathmatch tournament, along with several other things we plan on doing to try to save the company, maybe we can get by this but I wouldn't count on it. We will be decreasing our amount of shows in an effort to try to give more promotion time to each town. One of the things that I will be doing to help raise the money for the advertising of our events is auctioning off some of my personal memorabilia that I have gotten thru my 16 years of being in the wrestling business. Plus we will be doing DVD sales, tape sales, etc........so maybe with all these things combined we can save this thing. We realize we have come close to this before and announced similar things, but this time we really don't know if we can turn things around. I know alot of people will start its the mismanagement of the company , etc......but wrestling is down in all markets. No one is drawing like they were a year ago. I know there will be posts about other groups drawing 500- 600 , and all I can say is thats easy to do when you can put out thousands for ads. I'm not complaining, I wish I could do the same, but we are a small family company. Thanks for all your support over the past almost 9 years. Ian"
