In this edition of Indyvelopments, I have MAW and IWA Mid-South news and match results from Saturday's shows. That's right, the EXPLODING BARBED WIRE F'N DEATHMATCH! Ian Rotten, Hardcore Craig, Corporal Robinson, Mean Mitch Page, CM Punk and more.

My latest article is now at Kayfabe Memories, and it's about Roger "Nature Boy" Kirby. He started wrestling in the 1960's and he retired in 1985. Next month will mention Ron Ritchie, Harley Race and "America's Most Controversial Tag Team" The Grapplers.

MAW still doesn't have a new venue now that they got kicked out of Knights of Columbus. There's such a thing as being too hardcore. But the show will go on, and Carmine DeSpirito went ahead and booked Summer Sizzler 2001, the biggest show of the year.

Of course, the MAW and IWA Mid-South news below comes from the MAW and IWA Mid-South newsletters. Stacy does a great job with the newsletters. You can subscribe at the Link Gimmick (which is a term that I stole straight from Dave Prazak's website) at the bottom.

MAW NEWS FOR 06/20/01

--IAN ROTTEN REGAINS MAW WORLD TITLE FROM CRAIG!!
--PUNK ATTACKS ROTTEN AFTER MATCH; GETS TITLE SHOT!!
--SUMMER SIZZLER SPECTACULAR SET FOR JULY 21st!!

Mid American Wrestling, amidst local controversy in the press, continued to move forward with another live event, titled "Beer, Bombs, Blood & Barbed Wire" this past Saturday night, 6/16, at KP Classics in Big Bend, WI. Here are your results...

1. "Classic" COLT CABANA defeated DEREK ST. HOLMES, ESQUIRE via pinfall following a double underhook suplex into a sit-down over the shoulder backbreaker in the opening contest.

2. FARMER VIC was defeated by 2 TUFF TONY via countout in the 2nd match of the night. Tony hit his trademark corkscrew plancha on Vic through a table on the outside of the ring, and just barely beat referee BARFLY MIKE's count back into the ring.

3. JASON DUKES & FRANKIE DeFALCO retained the MAW Tag Team Titles against the team of "Love Machine" MATT LONGTIME & "Britney Spears' Boyfriend" CHUCKIE SMOOTH after Dukes jumped off the top of a Ryder truck putting Smooth through a table.

4. CM PUNK's secret weapon "Lawless" LENN WALKER (w/ Punk & DP) fell to ADRIAN SERRANO (w/ his best friend Holly Wood & the young shooters) in a shoot fight. Serrano made Walker tap out to a chokehold to gain the victory.

5. DINO BAMBINO defeated "Dysfunction" KURT KRUEGER after a Dino Bomb (over the shoulder backbreaker into a DDT) through a table in one of the best high flying matches in the midwest in recent memory.

6. CM PUNK (w/ DP) defeated THE SKULL KRUSHER in a very physical contest. As Skull Krusher was going to suplex Punk into the ring from the apron, Prazak tripped SK and held down his leg for Punk to get the three count.

7. IAN ROTTEN defeated HARDCORE CRAIG in a No-Rope Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match to regain the MAW World Heavyweight Championship following a double underhook DDT. At the detonator was MAW owner CARMINE DeSPIRITO, who refused to set off the bombs the first two times Craig was thrown into the barbed wire. Post-match, CM PUNK and DAVE PRAZAK hit the ring and joined Craig in attacking Rotten, with PUNK shouting that he's coming after the title, and delivering a brutal chairshot to the bloody head of Ian. Both Rotten and Craig had to be stitched up at the West Allis hospital following the contest, as Rotten received a severe injury to his hand, and the back of Craig's head was terribly busted open courtesy of an Ian chairshot during the bout. Punk will get his shot at Rotten's title on 7/21 at KP Classics, the 2001 Summer Sizzler Spectacular.

Signed thus far for the Sizzler on 7/21...
