After 13 years, IPW is planning on producing regular professional wrestling shows in the Des Moines metro. Our first show will be Saturday, November 8th at Baratta's at Forte (615 3rd St, Des Moines, IA). Driving Directions: [url= www.google.com/maps/preview?gl=us&hq=baratta%27s+forte&hnear=0x87ee99a4c1611ee7%3A0x710028512691e4b2%2Cdes+moines&daddr=615+3rd+St%2C+Des+Moines%2C+IA+50309&am p ;panel=1&f=d&fb=1&geocode=FdidegId93Rr-inDofruqZnuhzF6fLbv7jUjlA&cid=10674434842138410106]https://www.google.com/maps/preview?gl=us&hq=baratta%27s+forte&hne ar=0x87ee99a4c1611ee7%3A0x710028512691e4b2%2Cdes+moines&daddr=615+3rd+St%2C+Des+Moines%2C+IA+50309& ;panel=1&f=d&fb=1&geocode=FdidegId93Rr-inDofruqZnuhzF6fLbv7jUjlA&cid=10674434842138410106[/url] Belltime is 7 PM with doors opening at 6 PM. All tickets are general admission and will go on sale immediately. Adult advanced tickets are $12.00 and available by emailing ipwtickets@yahoo.com. Tickets are $15 at the door. All kids 10 and under are $5.00. 3 and under are FREE. Come out and see all your favorite IPW superstars in action! ************************************************************************* AJ Smooth will defend his Impact Pro Wrestling Heavyweight title against the returning Nicky Free. Nicky Free's last match was in the Main Event of the Hall of Fame show in Waterloo, Iowa On July 18th, 2014. It was in that match he lost the belt to AJ Smooth. AJ Smooth has faced off against, and defeated, all challengers since. Nicky Free is in the best wrestling shape of his life and ready to be come IPW champion once again. Pretty Ugly-James Jeffries and Ugly have formed one of the best and most cohesive tag teams in the Midwest. They are currently the Impact Pro Wrestling Tag Team Champions. On November 8th in Des Moines, Iowa they will defend the belts against The Legend Killers consisting of Matty Star and Sparrow. These teams have NEVER faced each other before. All four are more than ready for the battle that will be in store for them on November 8th. "The Natural" Nate Alsin is one of the most physically gifted and intimidating wrestlers to ever enter an IPW ring. At Barattas in Des Moines he will face off against Latin Thunder, one of the most popular wrestlers in IPW today. This is a great contrast of styles. Will the skill and athleticism of Latin Thunder be enough against the raw power of Nate Alsin? Arthur Haug is one of the most talented athletes in professional wrestling today. He has already caught the attention of the WWE and will be making his Des Moines debut on November 8th. His opponent will be Justin Decent. Justin is one of the most accomplished wrestler in IPW. This will be a great matchup of two strongmen. "Intellectual Punk" Tony Sly has been on a roll lately in IPW. He has been victorious against all challengers. On November 8th in Des Moines he steps in the ring with Des Moines area native The 80's Man. This will be the 80's man first match in his hometown and will need all the help he can get against the crafty veteran Tony Sly The Big Picture will face off against Christian Rose. The Big Picture has been involved in some of the most memorable matches in IPW history. Known for his fearless and hard charging style, TBP has had a very successful 2014. It was highlighted by his match against Wes Brisco in Waterloo, Iowa and his recent Extreme Rules brawl with Marshall Scott. Christian Rose has wrestled throughout the Midwest and is a former Dreamwave Wrestling Heavyweight Champion. He has faced against the likes of AJ Styles, John Morrison and Matt Hardy. This should be a tremendous matchup. Senior IPW Referee Billy J. will be refereeing the action! ***************************************************************************** For more information on Impact Pro Wrestling: www.impactprowrestling.com/ or www.facebook.com/ImpactProWrestling Follow us on Twitter: @ipwpro FEEL THE IMPACT OF IMPACT PRO WRESTLING ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH, 2014 IN DOWNTOWN DES MOINES, IOWA!

Great card so far. Glad to see Nicky Free will be returning. I thought he retired last year? Good to see Saturn back as well. Nicky Free came back from retirement this past weekend on the two Impact Pro Wrestling shows in Eldon, Iowa and Algona, Iowa! Perry Saturn wrestled on the Impact Pro Wrestling show last Saturday night in Algona, Iowa. He's looking forward to wrestling at the Hall of Fame show again this year in Waterloo, Iowa!

Hey Ref Billy J, when will the full card for July 12th be provided? Can't believe we are almost one month away. Here is the updated card so far for the Impact Pro Wrestling Show on Friday, July 12th at the 5 Sullivan Brothers Convention Center in downtown Waterloo, Iowa for the 2013 George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame Weekend: "The Tangerine Dream" Ricky Love VS Nicky Free IPW Tag Team Champions AJ Smooth/Ryan Slade VS James Jeffries and WWE/WCW/ECW wrestler PERRY SATURN in a tag team title match. Colt Cabana VS Matty Starr The 4th Annual Lou Thesz Cup Battle Royal. Main Event: Legends Lumberjack Match for the IPW Heavyweight Title, involving many of the attending hall of famers. There will be a couple more matches added in the near future, I believe. "Everybody goes down for the 3 Count" P.S. Or at least they should for Impact Pro Wrestling & The Hall of Fame! -Referee Billy J.

I looked at the list of people who will be there, I'm not familiar with Jason Sanderson. Anyone know who he is? Per the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Website (http://nwhof.org/blog/dg-inductees/jason-sanderson/): Inductee: Jason Sanderson Father Jason Sanderson is a longtime contributor to the sport on a variety of levels. Wrestling as “The Wolfman,” mainly he was AWA New England heavyweight champion and was twice a member of the tag-team AWA champions. Jason became a promoter in 1998 and has been one of the most active members of the Cauliflower Alley Club board for years, and a major supporter of the Dan Gable Museum.
