#1 Contender To Light Heavyweight Title

Marshe Rocket vs. Troy Walters

Marshe Rocket got a huge pinfall victory over Light Heavyweight Champion Jason Hades in a tag match at the 12th anniversary show. His tag team partner Acid Jazz won the fan's vote by 2 votes to get the title match vs. Hades though. Marshe wants his chance but Troy Walters also wants a chance to take on his sometimes tag partner and sometimes nemesis. Hades blew off the challenge issued by Troy Walters saying that he has beaten Walters all over the midwest too many times to count. Walters took offense to those comments and asked for a title match. Marshe also asked for a title match since he was unhappy that he got the pinfall but lost the fan vote. Now both men will get the chance to challenge for the IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title...all they have to do is defeat the other man and EARN it!

My pro wrestling column on Page 4 of today's (10/09) SouthtownStar FirstLook magazine features comments from IWA Mid-South officials about this show.

IWA MId-South World Heavyweight TItle Match

Dingo vs. Jimmy Jacobs

Dingo prides himself on being a fighting champion and taking on all comers. Jimmy Jacobs' history with the IWA title needs no refreshing. He wants redemption and thinks the time is prime to defeat Dingo. Dingo has finally ended his war with Jaysin Strife but paid a costly price and then the rematch with Drake Younger took a lot out of him as well. Can Jimmy take the next step in his quest for redemption or will Dingo add another notch to his belt as a fighting champion?


IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title Match

Jason Hades vs. Acid Jazz

Jason Hades was pinned in a tag match by Acid Jazz's tag team partner Marshe Rocket. He offered the Soul Touchaz a title shot for whichever one wanted it. Both men jumped at the opportunity so it was left up to a vote by the fan's in attendance at the show. By the narrowest of margins, 2 votes, Acid Jazz won the vote and earned the title shot. Can the Soul Touchaz make it two in a row over the champ and claim their first taste of IWA or will Hades rise to the occassion and gain the victory in singles competition to retain the title he has dominately held this year?


Brass Knuckles On A Pole Match - Kimberly Kash banned from building

Vito Thomaselli vs. Sal Thomaselli

These brothers have had a falling out of epic proportions. Jealousy has turned to hatred and not even a Chicago Street Fight could stop the carnage. Since Vito resorted to using brass knuckles for the victory, this time the brass knuckles are going to be out in the open and available for Sal to use as well. Will Sal continue to be everyone's "favorite Thomaselli" or will Vito win this war and prove to everyone that he is the reason that The Iron Saints were the best tag team in the midwest?


Special Challenge Match

Prince Mustafa Ali vs. Chris Hero

Ali wants to make a splash and improve upon his momentum of good performances. He still needs that breakout victory and his solution is simple. Defeat the former franchise of the IWA...everyone's hero...Chris Hero. Hero has a target on his back by establishing himself as one of the best. Can he show why he was the franchise for IWA for so many years or will Ali get the victory he is so desperately seeking?

Special Challenge Match

Josh Raymond vs. Lionel Knight

Josh heard that Lionel Knight impressed people in his debut vs. Josh's student Brian Skyline last week. Josh wants to show that there is no way that a Canadian can be impressive even in victory let alone defeat. Lionel wants to prove that last week's good showing wasn't a fluke but that he is a major player to be reckoned with in the coming months in the light heavyweight division. What better way to prove that then get in the ring with Josh Raymond? It's another chapter in the war between Canada & Michigan and this time the Militia is bringing its general to the fight.

Also appearing on this show: Trik Davis, Michael Elgin, Quick and other members of the Michigan Militia.
