HomeI purchased the August 2001 issue of Playboy today, with Elektra in it. All I can say (that's fit to print here at TRP) is Bada Bing! I e-mailed her this morning and I REALLY hope she writes me back.
I also have updated most of my website, and now it clocks in at 294 pages!
First up is IWA Mid-South news. The card is going on right now, which means I should've posted this sooner. I had mentioned it earlier in the week. Look for the results here at TRP in a couple of days.

The main event will feature the IWA Mid-South debut of one of the most sadistic men in the history of professional wrestling, a true living legend of hardcore style matches, the one and only ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER, as he teams with Ian Rotten to take on what many consider to be the best tag team in IWA history, the MMP's, Mad Man Pondo and "Mean" Mitch Page!
For those fans who like straight out hold for hold scientific, fast paced, and high flying wrestling, the six man elimination style tag match will be the show stealer for you. It will be the team of "Classic" Colt Cabana & Tarik the Great & The Suicide Kid battling the Super Heros, consisting of CM Punk & Chris Hero & BJ Whitmer (fresh off a Japan tour for Mitsuharu Misawa's Pro Wrestling NOAH).
In a duel of men who claim to represent the "Old School" of professional wrestling, it will be the IWA's own Old School Posse member Chip Fairway taking on the former ECW World Heavyweight Champion "The King of Old School" Steve Corino, who will also be making his first appearance in the IWA.
IWA World Heavyweight Champion "Rugby Thug" Trent Baker will put the title on the line against The Blue Meanie, who will be led to the ring by Jasmin St. Clair.

DIRECTIONS TO THE IWA HOUSE OF HARDCORE
----------------------------------------------
Directions to the IWA House Of Hardcore From Louisville: Take I-65 North to exit 6A. From there you will take exit 10B. This leads you into Charlestown, Indiana. Follow that road for about 7 miles (stay in the right lane because it will split with Indiana-3). Past the split, you will come across a gravel road next to a sign for IWA Wrestling. Take a right on that gravel road and the IWA House of Hardcore will be on your left side. If coming from the North: Take I-65 South to exit 6A. Then follow the directions above.
