"SIMPLY THE BEST 7"

The IWA Mid-South Tag-Team Championship will be on the line at Simply the Best 7. Unfortunately, Ian Rotten's tag-team partner, Mad Man Pondo, will be leaving early for a Japanese tour. Ian has made an "executive decision" and has chosen a partner whom he feels is worthy to help him defend the titles. After his impressive performances lately, not only in IWA Mid-South, but in CZW's Tournament of Death V - which he was a finalist in - Ian has chosen IWA upstart DRAKE YOUNGER as his tag-team partner. Their opponents will be the most impactful tag-team in recent memory - Vulgar Display of Power - BRAIN DAMAGE & DERANGED! Also, Ian has decided that due to the high amount of violence anticipated for this match-up, this championship match will be the final bout of the evening! This one will not be for the squeamish!

Ever since Low-Ki arrived in IWA Mid-South this past spring, he has dominated. He destroyed Tyler Black, he made the Necro Butcher into a human-punching bag, and he almost caved in Josh Abercrombie's sternum. His opponent at the Simply the Best 7 is a former WWE, ECW, and WCW star...2 Cold Scorpio! Scorpio is a legendary competitor who's seen action all over of the world. Scorpio and Low-Ki cannot wait to hook it up in Midlo...

The annual Simply the Best Tournament (a.k.a. "The Flippy Tournament") will feature 4 of the most fearless and craziest junior-heavyweights in the country today. There will be 2 first round matches and a final toward the end of the night, but this year, the stakes have risen - tables, ladders, and chairs are legal throughout the tournament...

RUCKUS vs DEREK FRAZIER
RICOCHET vs OMEGA

The storied feud between Tyler Black and Josh Abercrombie has resurfaced. By order of Ian Rotten, they were kept apart for 6 months - but their hatred for one another has just been building. They've defined high-risk in TLC matches, Iron Man Tables matches, and Finishers matches over the IWA Mid-South Lightheavyweight Title...but this time around they will put something else on the line...

Hair vs Mustache
JOSH ABERCROMBIE vs TYLER BLACK

Vito and Sal Thomaselli have dubbed themselves IWA's "Legend Killers." In the past couple of months, they have targeted an original in the Amercian Kickboxer...AKB has been through several partners but every time out, the Iron Saints, one way or another, have come out on top. Ian Rotten has granted Kickboxer's request and he will have a partner of his choice...

*UPDATE* The American Kickboxer has chosen his tag-team partner to face the Thomasellis. He is none other than former IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Champion TRIK DAVIS!

They have a long history between Leather Strap Matches and Falls Count Anywhere matches.
