Tickets: $15 ringside & $10 bleachers
IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title
Dingo vs. Jimmy Jacobs
This title shot was going to go to Ian Rotten on the original date of the show. At the Jan. 3 Joliet show, Ian gave his title shot to Jimmy Jacobs and said that if it was Jimmy's destiny to regain the title and rectify the mistakes of the past...then it was time for it happen. Jim Fannin didn't feel the same way and almost had heart failure on the stage and swore that he wouldn't let it happen. Will Jimmy fulfill his destiny or does destiny have other plans for Jimmy Jacobs?
Battle of TNA Knockouts
Mickie Knuckles vs. Payton Banks a.k.a. Rain
Mickie and Rain have a long history in IWA Mid-South. They had a series of great matches back in 2005 that saw Mickie on the winning side more times than not. In 2004, Rain was able control the feud. It has been a couple of years since these two have tangled but there is still no love lost between them. Will Mickie run roughshot over Rain or will Rain use her beauty and her brains to distract the referee and get a victory over the Redneck Woman? Mickie will be at a disadvantage due to her recovering broken leg but she won't use that as an excuse. Be in Bellevue to see who the better TNA Knockout is and perhaps the winner will be one step closer to returning to TNA?
DAVID vs. GOLIATH
Ricochet vs. The Necro Butcher
Ricochet is one of the top high flyers in IWA. However, he probably only weighs in at about 175 pounds. Necro is going to have at least a 100 pound weight advantage. Can Ricochet use his quickness and aerial ability to stay away from the madman known for destroying his opponents? Will Necro use his size and strength to ground Ricochet and beat him to a pulp? This is the ultimate styles clash matchup in IWA and it could very well be the last time that Ricochet ever steps into a ring if he can't stay away from the Necro Butcher.
Heavyweight Title Contenders Match
"New Horror" Sami Callihan vs. Tyler Black
Sami Callihan's new year resolution is to prove to everyone by the end of 2009 that HE is the franchise and the future of IWA. He desperately wants to be thought of as the Chris Hero of 2000 - 2004 in IWA history. The guy that can do it all and wrestle anyone and not only win but win over the fans as well. He's been a finalist in TPI, Strong Style and Candido Cup. He's gotten victories in Double Death and over Mickie Knuckles and Ian Rotten. The next thing on his checklist is to beat up a former IWA Mid-South light heavyweight champion with tremendous hype and fanfare on the internet. Can Sami top the MTV, ROH star or does he still have more to accomplish before establishing himself as the franchise?
Light Heavyweight Contenders Positioning Match
Trik Davis vs. Shane Hollister
Shane Hollister will be making his IWA Mid-South debut and he has drawn a very tough customer in Trikory Davis. While a victory in his debut won't guarantee him a title shot, it will go a long way in guaranteeing that he returns to IWA and that he will be taken seriously. If Trik wins, whether by hook or by crook, the former IWA heavyweight champion could see himself in title contention for the light heavyweight title. Hollister has a lot of good press and hype behind him coming in to IWA. Will he fold under the pressure or will we have another young rising star in the IWA ranks in 2009?
Also appearing on the show:
Egotistico Fantastico
Ian & Axl Rotten - The Bad Breed
Jason Hades
Much much more.
