INFORMATION ON UPCOMING IWA EVENTS
----------------------------------------------
by IWA Mid-South Management
There will be no show this Wednesday due to the rash of injuries occurred Saturday night and the current situation with the workers from Cincinnati and whether or not they can continue to work for IWA. Since we couldn't fill out our roster for the show, we are going to give the boys time to rest and recover and return to action Sunday night for "Derby Madness."
"Derby Madness" will take place on Sunday night, 5/6, with a special bell time of 7:30pm to accommodate those who need to be up early the following morning. All tickets for "Derby Madness" will also be just $5.
Then, IWA presents "No Blood, No Guts, No Glory" on Saturday night, 5/12, with an 8pm bell time. Here are the matches announced thus far for the show...

DIRECTIONS TO THE IWA HOUSE OF HARDCORE
----------------------------------------------
Directions to the Creator's 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 Creator's 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.

NEW TAG TEAM AND JR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONS CROWNED
It was a wild and sometimes bloody brawl in Surrey on April 27th, and when the dust (and chairs!) settled, THE BACKWOODS MILITIA emerged as the new NWA/ECCW Tag Team Champions. The BWM defeated CHANCE BECKETT and ROCKFORD 2000 in the finals of the tournament and will now face the California based - but Canadian born - BALLARD BROTHERS in May. Stay tuned for more details!
SCOTTY MAC earned his first title by beating DISCO FURY and "TORNADO" TONY KOZINA in a WILD three way tournament final for the NWA Pacific Northwest JR Heavyweight title on April 28th in Vancouver, WA. Scotty was eliminated in the first round by "THE FALLEN ANGEL" CHRISTOPHER DANIELS when DISCO FURY and DAMON SCYTHE got involved. Just before the start of the final match Kozina and other Jr Heavyweights staged a "sit in" in the ring and demanded Scotty be allowed back in the tournament. Commissioner Republic granted this request and added a no time limit, no DQ stipulation. The fans gave a standing ovation for all three wrestlers at the end of the match.
