. Jimmy "Hype" Shalwin/Jeff Brooks/Gameboy/Justin Andrews & Rip Impact def. Marco Cordova/Dave Allen/Brian Skyline/Cory Mason & Steven Kennedy in a 10 man tag to start the show.

2. Billy Roc def. Josh Raymond & Troy Walters in a three way dance.

3. Kris Chambers def. Christian Able with help from Michael Elgin whom got revenge on Able for jumping him in Joliet. Both men were on the floor and Chambers was with the ref while Able was by a ringpost. Elgin came running out and delivered a flying knee to Able sending him into the ringpost and knocking him out. He rolled Able back into the ring where he was pinned by Chambers.

4. Vortekz def. Chuck Taylor. Vortekz came out and cut a promo saying that he knows what Ego doesn't want him to know and that Ego knows that he knows and that is why Ego didn't show up...because he's scared. He then issued a challenge to anyone in the back and Chuck Taylor accepted. Vortekz got the win with double knees off the top rope that totally crushed Chuck.

5. Tracy Smothers def. Darren Wade in what I could hear Joey Eastman screaming in the background was the greatest match in wrestling history. Trevor Murdock, Ian and a handful of refs were involved. There is a rematch in Joliet tomorrow afternoon and Tracy said he was going to be "serious" tomorrow and that Wade would have to watch out.

6. Ricochet/Jason Hades def. Prince Ali & Jayson Quick. The stips on this match were as follows...if either Prince or Quick got the pinfall on Hades, they would win the Lt. Heavyweight title. If Ricochet got the pinfall on either Prince or Quick, he would get a title shot in Joliet. Kimberly Kash kept interfering so Hades hit her with the Killswitch to put her out of commission. Hades then hits a Killswitch on Prince Ali but Ricochet throws Hades to the floor and pins Ali to get the title shot tomorrow. Ricochet grabs the belt and says that he is winning it tomorrow and then Jayson Quick jumps Hades and tries to hang him with a noose.

7. Michael Elgin retains Strong Style title with the ground and pound on Bobby Fish. After the match, Ian welcomed Bobby Fish to the IWA family.

8. Too Cold Scorpio def. "New Horror" Sami Callihan with a modified sharpshooter. Maniwa said that there was an unbelievable forearm exchange in this match.

9. Trevor Murdock def. Nick Gage with a top rope bulldog

10. Dingo def. Drake Younger to retain the IWA World Heavyweight Title under old school IWA rules. Dingo nailed Drake with a spin kick like he did to Rollin' at KOTDM and it caused major swelling of Drake's eye. Drake battled back and eventually hit the Drake's Landing but Dingo had his foot on the rope as ref counted to three. Drake thought he won the title and the ref saw the foot on the rope and restarted the match. Dingo hit Sliced Bread #2 onto a chair and got the pin to keep the title. Drake cut a promo after the match talking about all the injuries he has suffered and how much winning the IWA World Heavyweight Title would mean to him and asks Dingo for a rematch so he can fulfill his dream. Ian and Trevor come out. Ian tells Trevor that he'll have a mystery opponent tomorrow and that Drake will get his rematch vs. Dingo for the title.

Night Two:
Here is a complete rundown of events:

1. Egotistico Fantastico won a 20 man over the top rope battle royal last eliminating Jaysin Strife to earn a heavyweight title shot in the future at any point in time he wishes to take it. The final five in the battle royal were Ego, Strife and the 3 Soul Touchaz. Soul Touchaz all turned on each other and ended up eliminating each other trying to get the title shot to ensure a future chance to be on an IWA show. Strife basically eliminated himself by going for a cross body block on Ego and Ego ducking causing Strife to sail to the floor. There were a lot of guys that didn't do anything else on the show in this battle royal and quite a few of the IWA regulars as well.

Trik Davis came to the ring in a total shocker to everyone in attendance. He demanded to be put in TPI and to face Chris Hero in the first round. Ian came to the ring and told Trik that Sami Callihan already has Chris Hero in the first round and that is the the Ted Petty INVITATIONAL which means you have to be invited...not show up and demand it. Trik says that he is the one that told Ian about Sami Callihan and that it would be his pleasure to take Sami's spot.

2. Sami Callihan defeated Trik Davis to defend his TPI spot. They brawled all over the building and Sami went for a lariat while Trik was leaning on the side wall that Mickie jumped off of and Trik moved so Sami hit the wall. Trik then kicked Sami's arm into the wall. Sami fought off the strong arm offense of Trik to eventually win with a lariat.

3. Jason Hades def. Ricochet to retain the IWA Mid-South World Light Heavyweight Title. Hades hit the Killswitch to get the victory. Kimberly Kash then comes out wearing a back brace after taking the Killswitch last night and starts screaming at Hades. Hades goes to give her another Killswitch when Kash Inc hits the ring and starts beating him down. They then duct tape his arms behind his back and duct tape his feet. Jayson Quick then runs through the front door and they duct tape a garbage bag over Hades head until several guys run off Kash Inc and tear the bag off Hades head. After Hades catches his breath, his begs Ian to do whatever it takes to get Quick at the TPI...so Ian pulls both men out of the TPI.

4. Nick Gage defeats Michael Elgin to win the IWA Mid-South Strong Style Title. Huge back and forth brawl until they went to the floor. Christian Able ran out and knocked Elgin in to the ringpost shoulder first. Gage gets Elgin back into the ring and applies an armbreaker in the ring. Elgin gets his foot onto the rope and PJ Drummond calls for the bell and says that Elgin tapped out. Everyone sits stunned and unsure of what just happened. Gage then attacks Elgin and beats him down with a chair on the floor. Able comes out and taunts the fallen Elgin. Is Gage in cahoots with Able? Is PJ Drummond in cahoots with Able or perhaps with Gage? We don't know yet but hopefully we will find out.

5. Christian Able/Brian Skyline/Jeff Brooks def. The Soul Touchaz (Marshe Rocket, Trauma, Acid Jazz w/ C Red). After the match, Ian welcomed The Soul Touchaz to the IWA family and invited them to pick 2 to be in the Candido Cup in December. Ian then broke out the "Fat White Guy Dance" and danced with The Soul Touchaz.

6. Egotistico Fantastico def. Prince Mustafa Ali. Joey Eastman cut a promo before the match claiming that the only reason Ali isn't in TPI is because of religious prejudices. After this fantastic (pun intended) match, Ian agreed that since 2 extra spots just opened up that Ali belonged in the TPI and invited him but said he would face Ego in a rematch in round 1. He then went ahead and extended an invitation to Trik Davis for TPI.

7. Bobby Fish def. Josh Raymond, Jimmy Jacobs and Chuck Taylor in a Pick Your Poison match and chose Too Cold Scorpio as his first round opponent.

8. Tracy Smothers/Ian Bloody def. Darren Wade/Trevor Murdock. Started as Wade vs. Tracy but Trevor was ringside with his student so Tracy went to find a partner to even the odds. Brawl all over the building. Wild action. Ian gives Trevor a lariat and Tracy throws Ian off and pins Trevor himself. Trevor demands an one on one match with Tracy. Tracy finally agrees but then asks Ian to give him a chance in TPI. Ian gives Tracy the invitation and tells him that he wants the old Tracy Smothers...the Thug Tracy Smothers not the 40 minute promo Tracy Smothers. Tracy agrees to be as good as he once was for TPI and be the Smasher/Sellout/Smoky Mountain Thug Smothers.

9. Too Cold Scorpio defeats Necro Butcher in one helluva hard hitting contest with a moonsault into a legdrop off the top that drilled Necro in the mouth/jaw. Bobby Fish watched from sort of ringside to scout Scorpio.

10. Dingo defeats Drake Younger to retain the IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title. Drake attacked as soon as Dingo came out the door and they brutalized each other old school IWA style. Brawl all over the building. Dingo wins with a Michinoku Driver through an open chair. Jaysin Strife attacked Dingo after the match.
