Looking at the card for tonight’s IWA show, not star studded like a Heartbreak or 1000th show but man, what a fucking show it was. Super proud of the whole roster tonight. Good to great and more arrows point to great than just good tbh. I think we need a thread...
Open the show with @pompanojoe, someone who doesn’t get enough love vs @bighoss1916 in his IWA debut. Joe rules. The moniker “Everyone’s Homie” is 100% the truth. Really hope we see Hossman back. A student of Dr Tom’s is always welcomed in IWAMS
Follow that up with @SatuJinnUncivil & @HybridZodiak. To quote Mr Langston, TWO BIG MEATY MEN SLAPPING MEAT & that’s what we got. Beat the shit out of each other. Talk about a mother effin HOSS battle. Satu’s a whole different animal than we saw in his last IWA run.
Unfortunately, this brought out @BenTheRef502 with his new gem @corey_storm24 who had a new attitude and some disparaging words for @AliceCrowley19. These two tore it the fuck up. Hate to say it but maybe being with Ben is what Corey needed. A truly fantastic contest.
Intermission gets followed up by @t_superior94 vs @TNBilliam. 200lbs of TN sunshine perfectly describes Billy Tipton. Tony Evans is a bastard, straight up. Great showing from Billy (YEE YEE) but Tony had the experience to pick up the win.
If there’s one thing you know, at IWAMS, no matter who they’re facing, if you see @TheDukeJWM or @kevin_giza on the card, they’re gonna give 110%. Now putting them two together, it’s been magic every time. Perfect appetizer with IWA rules to the carnage we’ll see 3/12 & 3/13!
Two of my absolute favorite tag teams in the game today. Infrared (forever known in IWAMS as the PD Express) - @THELoganJames1 & @Tyler_Matrix w/@RealBillyTheP vs @MasonDixonOFF. 16:10 of a tag team clinic. All 5 of these talents should be booked all over.
Main event with Dewey cashing in his opportunity in a box vs @TheJakeCrist. Hard fought match but the champ enters his 225th consecutive day as your IWA World Champ. After the match, Ben & @corey_storm24 are out to knock Jake out of the ring & lay out Dewey. Scumbags.
We make our return to Connersville tonight (officially now as it’s 12:03) and tomorrow for @PWTrainwreck & @IWAMidSouth It’s a Mystery on Saturday.
If you’ve missed the blood and guts that we don’t do in Kentuckiana, Connersville is an hour from Cincinnati or Indianapolis, 2:15 from Louisville, 90 minutes from Dayton, super close to towns like Richmond, New Castle, Shelbyville & Muncie, IN
Hope to see everyone this weekend in Connersville. First time ever, all mystery deathmatch show. I’m sure won’t be the last but you’re gonna kick yourself if you’re not there on Saturday if you’re any kind of a Deathmatch wrestling fan. I promise you that.
Okay, I’m done running my mouth. Time for bed, gotta get the kids to their destination then prepare for an all wrestling weekend. Be safe, drink your water, take your meds & remember Papa loves you.
Hope y’all check out tonight’s show when it drops on IWTV. I’m extremely proud of everyone involved. A barn burner of a show from # 1 to # 8! @pompanojoe vs @kevin_giza was DOPE. A great opening match. Told a great story AND had cool moves. They worked hard and it showed.
Next up on the show was @BraydenxLee vs @THELoganJames1 tore it down for the IWA Jr Title. You always know it’s gonna be total nonstop action (not Uncle Jeff) and it was. Of course, Logan had to be a dick after. Definitely not the last we’ll see of those two
Followed that up with @HybridZodiak vs @stonewall_wwa in a mother effin hoss battle! Two big dudes beating the snot out of each other. Zodiak lookin good in his return in his new fancy gear. Would definitely like to see this one again.
Just saw @TrulyRotten post that “Marvelous” Mitch Ryder passed away. Makes me extremely sad. No one was the perfect Memphis heel than Mitch Ryder when he was on. I was looking forward to his return next month. Sad we’ll never see it.
Can only imagine the hell him and Sweeney are raising right now. Search Mitch Ryder on IWTV & do some research, especially if you’re a villain. Little things he did can be used today & still work.
I filmed this promo at Jammerz after a young wrestler did 3-4 takes. Mitch didn’t think about it, did it in one take & @ManceWarner was like man, that’s how it’s done and this wasn’t even in Mitch’s prime
Time for a thread. I know there’s quite a few shows happening in the Midwest tomorrow but this is the one I’ll be at. EWE’s Brass Monkey 2020 in Jeffersonville.
J Prodigy is a name a lot of indie wrestling fans won’t know. He had a very short career. Started wrestling professionally (after a stint as a backyard wrestler Back Doors Lock - BDL) in Dec 98 & his last result is for Jan 01. Mainly wrestled for IWAMS &
J.C. Bailey’s dad Joe Bailey’s promotion Bad 2 the Bone Wrestling. A junior heavyweight inspired by guys like Tarek the Great, American Kickboxer, Super J Cup 94 & a guy he got to share the ring with, Reckless Youth. He won the IWA light heavyweight title on 2 occasions.
