Many thanks go out to all IWA fans who have helped out in their own way (be it submitting scanned pictures they've taken, helping out with graphics for the site, or whatever else) over the past two weeks. The new site should be a vast improvement over the current one. It is EXPECTED for the new site to go active late this week (likely Thursday-ish). A notice will be posted here on the message board when it is ready. Anyone with further contributions/suggestions, feel free to E-mail iwaweb@hotmail.com. JANUARY 26th CHARLESTOWN RESULTS Harry Palmer at the 1/26 show declared that since the Dayton show was postponed for Friday 2/1 that it would be a doubleshot weekend in Charlestown on Friday 2/1 and Saturday 2/2. The Friday show will be a night of 2 tournaments: Tag Title tournament to crown new tag team champions. He also announced that due to the 30 day defense rule, that double champion CM Punk has been stripped of the light heavyweight title for not defending the title and a tourney will take place Friday night to determine a new champion. Also announced for Friday is Ian Rotten vs. Rugby Thug Trent Baker as a result of tonight's heinous acts by the Thug. Adrian Serrano opened the show by stating he had no opponent. Holly Wood came out and offered to go out with anyone who could shut Serrano up for her. Referee Jon Howard took her up on the offer to kill off rumors of his sexual preference. Serrano made him tap 3 different times inside of 2 minutes. This brought out Rollin Hard who tried to take up the offer but Serrano won with the armbar submission. Dysfunction who has been an opportunist of late then ran to the ring for his match with Rollin and attacked him much like he did to Ian Rotten after an attack by Bull Pain and company a few weeks ago. Rollin fought him off and gained the victory with a DVD. Mean Mitch Page def. Todd Morton with a schoolboy rollup. Bull Pain interfered often but it was to no avail as Todd had his feet on the rope during a pin attempt for leverage but was caught by Brent Blades. Todd thought it was a three count and celebrated leaving Page the opening for the rollup. Bull berated Todd afterwards about disappointing him by losing and not being a good "chosen one" to mimmick Bull. Bull Pain def. Cash Flo with the Pain Game. Bull and Cash exchanged vicious chops and fought around the building. Todd got involved by pulling Cash's foot on an Oh Shit Legdrop attempt crotching Cash on the top rope. Bull then hit the Pain Game for the victory. Bull and Todd worked Cash over with the bat afterwards. Nadia Nyce and Chris Hero def. Dave Prazak and Rugby Thug. Thug spoke of how only crippling Hero will save the damage Hero has done by ruining his life. Victories would be a nice insult to add to the wounds but injury is his goal. Prazak spoke of his hatred for women in the wrestling ring. Prazak had his way with Nadia in the early going by grabbing her breasts and pelvic thrusting her on a go behind waistlock. It built his courage to try his luck with Hero but Hero dominated their exchanges. Hero and Thug went to tearing into each other culminating in Hero throwing Thug outside and returning to the ring to hit Prazak with the Hero's Welcome while he had Nadia. Hero then allowed Nadia to get the pinfall on Prazak. Thug attacked from behind and tied Hero to the ropes. He then proceeded to hit Hero's arm several times with a chair. The chair on the last one hit mostly the top of Hero's hand causing instant bruising and swelling. An update on Chris' condition is expected later this week. DP and Thug then turned attentions to Nadia which brought out Ian Rotten for the save. Ian and Thug tore into each other and fought throughout the building before the entire locker room could seperate them. Thug challenged Ian for Friday night which was accepted. Corporal Robinson def. Ian Rotten - Fans Bring Weapons. These two men destroyed each other with everything and anything they could get their hands on. Tables, lighttubes, barb wire bat, christmas ornaments etc were used. Both men were left a bloody mess and Corp hit the bootcamp for the victory. Two of the more gruesome spots were Ian Rotten hitting a Yokozuna Banzai drop onto Corp as he had a couple of lighttubes on his chest and Corporal doing the slingshot legdrop onto Ian as he had 2 lighttubes shoved into Ian's singlet, crushing them into Ian's back. After the match, Rugby Thug attacked a beaten Ian Rotten before running off. NECRO BUTCHER RETURNS TO IWA, DEFEATS PONDO! (report by Bryan ReDD) 1. Corporal Robinson def. Garrett Marx with a Boot Camp cobra clutch/Russian leg sweep. Nice little opener that saw Marx come to the ring looking disgusted with the fans. He then got on the mic and explained his ill mood by saying the fans of the IWA have been disrespecting him by making fun of his tights, hair cut, etc., as well as booing a "great wrestler." He then claimed he was gonna beat one of IWA's most beloved "hardcore mo fos" to prove he was a better wrestler. Corp then got in the ring to retort on young Marx, saying that he (Marx) had a lesson to learn and Corp was gonna teach it to him. Marx started out with some nice wrestling moves, including an arm drag and a hip toss, but it didn't take Corp too long to get in the swing of things...quite literally as he took Marx to the outside and waffled him across the back with a steel chair. Marx never recovered from that, and soon fell victim to a VERY nice looking Boot Camp. 2. Ian Rotten def. "Superbrat" Brad Bradley (w/ Dave Prazak) with a double arm DDT. Once again a young wrestler strutted to the ring with a look of utter disgust on his face towards the IWA loyals. The "Sausage King of Chicago" was the mouth piece for the Superbrat tonight, claiming that Ian Rotten had NO chance against the Steel Domain grad if there were rules in the match. He cited Ia n's recent DQ loss to Chuck E. Smooth as proof of his point. Ian came out to the usual deafening cheers, and told Prazak and young Bradley that he was indeed training in old school wrestling and accepted Prazak's challenge of a "classic" wrestling match with Bradley, in which Bradley did not fair to well. While there was some nice back and forth action during the latter part of the match, for most of the beginning Ian had Brad tied up in ways that would make a pretzel scream in pain. The ending came when Prazak pulled the foot of Ian as he hit the ropes, causing him to stumble so Bradley could hook Ian in his own finishing move, the double arm DDT. That backfired as Ian pushed Bradley off of him and showed him exactly how the double arm DDT is done. Ian Rotten stayed in the ring before we went into our first intermission of night, prompting fans to think that he was going to show his most recent victim why he's known far and wide for his chair swinging abilities, but Ian had more important things on his mind. He spoke to his fans about the short, but colorful, history of the building that is known as the House of Hardcore, he spoke of the ongoing battle with the Zoning Commission that could end up sending IWA to a new building, and then he spoke of the most vital part of the IWA...the fans. He thanked all the fans that have been there since day one. He thanked all of the fans who frequented the message boards (with the exception of a few), and flashed back to a time with the old K-Mart building on Dixie Hwy. was packed with 350-400 people every week. "God, those were the days." Ian talked about how he can no longer ask the boys in the back to do the shit that they do week in a week out and only hand them 20-30 dollars, cause that's all he afford to pay them. Ian asked all of the fans to show him that the days of packing the house can return, to show him that the fight with the Zoning Commission is a good fight, and to show him that IWA Mid-South does not need to move it's HQ to Indianapolis, by putting as many a sses in the seats as possible on a weekly basis. He mentioned that he has big...not big, but HUGE things in store for the IWA. Already signed to appear on March 2nd is Eddy Guerrero, and is already talking to Rey Misterio, Jr. to bring him in sometime down the road, but NONE of that is gonna be possible in Charlestown without the help of fans. He mentioned that something as simple as flyering (which has got the be HARDEST word in the English language to say) would be a huge help as it would get the IWA name out there. If you're interested in a flyer, e-mail Bryan46290@aol.com and he will send you one that you can print out, get copied, and get into people's hands. 3. Mean Mitch and Cash Flo went to a 20 minute time limit draw. Mitch got on the mic and told the crowd that he and Cash had decided to do a little something different tonight. They were going to have an amateur style match. After some bantering back and forth as to whom was going to go down for whom (as in amateur match starting position ya sick freak) they finally decided on a spelling bee...yes, a spelling bee to decide who would get down on their hands and knees first (ewwwwww!!!!). Mitch was given the word "amateur" to spell and after confusing the meaning and spelling it "D-U-S-T-I-N" (your guess is as good as mine on that one) he finally got it right. Cash was given the word "cat" and only with the help of a front row fan was he able to get it right so in the interest of fairness, Jim Fannin gave Cash a trivia question, which was "Which weighs more. A pound a feathers or a pound of gravel?" It only took a Cash a short time to come up with his answer and after telling Jim that he felt insulted cause EVERYONE knows the answer, he said that the pound of feathers is heavier cause there's more in the bag...God love ya Cash. The "amateur match" only lasted through Cash giving Mitch 3 turns to take him down, and when he was unsuccessful at all the attempts, the began a test of strength...only, Mitch was so sure of his being able to overpower Cash that he chose to do the test with his eyes closed, which led to a boot in the gut by Cash, and then stomping on his hand. They began pushing one another and started brawling, all the way up to the 20 minute time limit bell. The match was ruled a draw with Mitch announcing "Hell, I've never gone 20 minutes with anything," and then QUICKLY correcting himself. The fans chanted for five more minutes. Mitch replied that he couldn't wrestle for 25 minutes, especially since Chris Hero was on next. 4. The Rugby Thug Trent Baker (w/ Dave Prazak) def. Chris Hero (w/ Nadia Nyce) with a roll up and a hand full of tights. Another spectacular match between these two, which saw Rugby re-ignite that fire that he had in him last week by laying into Chris Hero with some vicious hits and kicks and Hero responding with the same. The great wrestling that you have come to expect from these two was there as well, but the match itself was just intense between the former Superheroes and IWA champions. The ending came after Hero hit a very nice looking Diamond Dust on Rugby and Hero goes for the cover, and seeing that his man (teehee) was in trouble, Dave Prazak jumped up on the apron to distract referee Brent Blades. Hero, having enough of Prazak's interference goes after him. Rugby recovers but only to get noggin knockers with Prazak. Hero catches him in the Hero's Welcome, which he reversed, and ended up getting the 1-2-3 with a roll up and a handful of Hero's pants. After the match Prazak and Thug put the boots to Hero which brought in Nadia Nyce who tried to get Prazak off of her man. She got pushed down twice by Prazak, and by the third time she got up she was ready to hurt him. She was cut off when Prazak grabbed her by the hair, and twisted it around his hand, which looked like he was attempting to take a chunk of her hair with him, as she was trying to escape. Prazak swung at her, but she ducked it and Prazak turned around into a spear from Nadia. Thug pulled her off Prazak, and the two shot her into the ropes attempting a double clothesline, but she ducked it, and applied a double "testicular claw." Both men were screaming in pain, and she let them go to concentrate on Prazak. Just as Rugby was about to manhandle her due to her handling his manhood, Hero saved his woman. Rugby and Hero brawled to the floor as the locker room emptied in a vain attempt to keep them apart. Dave Prazak then got on the mic and verbally plastered Nadia for putting her hands on him, and challenged her to get in the ring for a tag match next Saturday night. Nadia got on the mic and quickly accepted the match. So already signed is Dave Prazak and The Rugby Thug taking on Chris Hero and Nadia Nyce. 5. Mad Man Pondo vs. the mystery opponent was your main event. Pondo came out to a mixed reaction with his trusty STOP sign and new found buddy hedge clippers in tow. He put down his last few opponents (Corp and Mitch) saying that he beat them both, and that the IWA was trying to screw him by not giving him time to prepare for tonight's opponent. He then said th at it didn't matter who it was, he was going to do the same thing to them that he's done to everyone else, so bring the person out. An unfamiliar song began to play, as an unfamiliar person came out of the locker room. He walked around the ring tagging hands with all those who were willing, and then got in the ring with Pondo, who immediately went to work on him. Jim Fannin announced him as "Die Hard Dustin." But I believe the introductions lasted longer than he did and he went down HARD to a sit-down tombstone piledriver on 4 light tubes taped together. Then familiar music hit as the NECRO BUTCHER hit the ring with a quickness...almost as quickly as Pondo left the ring. Necro gave chase, but it became obvious that Pondo knew what he was doing as he put the boots to Necro as soon as he slid under the bottom rope. MANY weapons were used in this match. Some of the highlights included a superplex that sent the Mad Man into wooden sticks, light tubs, and brand new mailbox held up by two steel chairs. A senton bomb off of the top rope onto Necro who was inside a metal trash can. Pondo then went to work on something very deadly as he set up 8 chairs facing each other, 4 chairs laying on top of that, and a set of light tubes with a FOR SALE sign taped to it on top of that mess...It was pretty obvious that he intentions were to powerbomb Necro into this, but Necro reversed it into a back body drop. After that nasty spill, and losing a TON of blood, Necro applied the Asiatic Spike which forced Pondo to pass out, giving Necro the win in his big return match. Ian got on the mic afterwards and welcomed Necro home, saying "This is where you belong," thus proving that IWA is indeed NOT what it used to be as far as hardcore matches...IT'S BETTER!!!!! IWA RETURNS TO NAP-TOWN, PUNK RETAINS TITLE IN 2 OUT OF 3 FALLS CLASSIC! Here are your results from Friday, 1/11 in Indianapolis at the Knights of Columbus. 1. "Sexy" Ace Steel def. "Rugby Thug" Trent Baker (w/ Dave Prazak). 2. "Spyder" Nate Webb def. Cash Flo. 3. Rollin' Hard def. Mad Man Pondo. 4. "Marvelous" Mitch Ryder def. Corporal Robinson. 5. Colt Cabana (w/ "Sensational" Sherri Martel) def. Chris Candido. 6. Ian Rotten & "Mean" Mitch Page def. Bull Pain & Todd Morton. 7. CM Punk (w/ Dave Prazak) def. Chris Hero (w/ Nadia Nyce) 2-1 in a 2 out of 3 falls match to retain IWA Mid-South Heavyweight title. Hero hit a tigerdiver powerbomb off the top rope on Punk. The move must be seen to be believed. The first two falls saw Hero pin Punk with the Hero's Welcome, and Punk pin Hero following the Pepsi Plunge (top rope pedigree). The deciding fall went to Punk after a russian legsweep with the title belt held over Hero's face. Early IWA Match of the Year contender.
