Main Event - No Rope Barbed Wire Extreme Grudge Match

This feud is ready to come to a very bloody, very violent end. B.J. Whitmer showed up at the 500th show at the request of his long time friend and manager, Jim Fannin, to finish off Jimmy Jacobs once and for all in an I Quit match. They taped Jacobs to the ropes and beat him within an inch of his life with a Singapore cane but Jacobs refused to quit. Jacobs passed out from the pain of a figure four with repeated cane shots but Fannin didn't want it to end that way. He wanted to hear Jimmy Jacobs squeal "I Quit" and be humiliated just like Jacobs humiliated the IWA. Jacobs was able to gain the victory by repeatedly stabbing B.J. in the groin with a spike. This match is going to go to the extreme and neither man may be the same after this blood feud comes to an end. For those that will say, "Isn't ROH running that weekend?", as has been said all over the internet, ROH is cutting back on the number of people on their shows and Jimmy and BJ are not on the ROH shows that weekend. They want to settle this thing once and for all and it will happen on April 12th.

IWA World Heavyweight Title vs. Tag Titles

Eddie Kingston, Scorpio & Mickie Knuckles

vs.

BLKOUT (Ricky Reyes, Joker & Ruckus)

This match stems from the altercation after the Kingston/Scorpio match at the 500th show. BLKOUT came out to celebrate with Eddie and attacked Scorpio. Eddie got angry that they were stealing his moment and tried to get them to stop attacking Scorpio. They turned on Eddie and beat on him until Scorpio made the save. Since Ruckus was getting involved and making the odds a little unfair, Ian Rotten added Mickie Knuckles to the mix. Mickie and Ruckus had some trouble at a WSX taping out in LA when Ruckus was running his mouth about Mickie and saying things that were upsetting her and then got mouthy with Ian when Ian called to talk to him about it. Ruckus was a big man when he was 3000 miles away from Ian and now to his credit, he has turned down a ROH booking so that he couldn't be called a coward for ducking Mickie Knuckles in this match. If Eddie Kingston gets pinned in this grudge match, he will lose his IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title. If either Joker or Ricky Reyes gets pinned, they will lose the IWA Mid-South tag team titles. This one could get settled in the streets surrounding the Hartman Rec Center!

So much more to be added to this event. Keep checking back for further updates.

Brodie Lee vs. B.J. Whitmer

Brodie Lee will be making his debut in IWA Mid-South and he will be starting off at the top of the ladder as he takes on a former IWA Mid-South Heavyweight Champion, Revolution Strong Style Tournament winner and TPI winner in B.J. Whitmer. The only person that can match those credentials in IWA is Chris Hero so we will see right off the back whether the big man who has been running roughshot on the east coast can carry that momentum with him into IWA Mid-South.



Jimmy Jacobs vs. Dingo

This will be another battle between the upstart trying to make his name by taking out an IWA legend. Dingo has been the flavor of choice recently with IWA fans as he has put on some impressive performances. This will be his first appearance in Plainfield for IWA and he will be taking on the second longest reigning IWA Mid-South heavyweight champion in history in Jimmy Jacobs. Will Jacobs be able to focus on Dingo and not think about B.J. and the No Rope Barbed Wire the night before? Will Dingo attempt to take Jacobs out of service before the NRBW match? This could be a mat classic but only time will tell.

So much more to be added to this event. Stay tuned to the message board for more details.
