From Trent Van Drisse:

Ian Rotten held his 600th IWA Mid-South show last night at Jammerz Rollerdome in Clarksville, Indiana. The attendance was a little over 100. Here are the results, as best as I could get them, didn't know all the talent.

1. Graham Bell beat Spike Lopez

2. Lee Byford beat Jake Parnell

Great finish as the hefty Byford, who is by his own definition "Too fat to care", hit a package piledriver on Parnell, followed by a beautiful top rope moonsault for the win. Parnell does a bad Berzerker/Bruiser Brody impression.

3. Jack Thriller pinned Christian Skyfire to win a scramble match

Others in the match included a Viking, Percy Davis & Johnny Long. This win allows Thriller to enter some type of a bigger scramble match on down the line. Huh?? I guess the yolks on me.....

4. Mickie Knuckles beat Heidi Lovelace and Hudson Envy in a three way ladies match

Knuckles was legit busted open from delivering a series of headbutts.

5. Sabu & Dale Patricks beat White America(Tripp Cassidy & Josh Crane) w/John Grey

This tag was set up from a lame angle that opened the show.

Mitch Page came out and wanted Ian Rotten to admit he was cheating on his girlfriend Misty with another lady wrestler, which I never caught her name. Rotten denied it, and was then proven to be telling the truth when the two ladies started making out, and a little HLA ensued.....Jerry Springer lives.

Intermission.

6. Ian Rotten vs Johnny Rotten had no finish

This was a father vs son match, and billed as Ian Rotten's retirement match, due to several health issues he has going on, but he's going to continue promoting shows. The match was totally clean for a few minutes, with Ian getting the better of things, when special referee Mickie Knuckles suddenly stomped on Ian's bad big toe, which Rotten claims is in legit danger of needed to be amputated. Johnny Rotten, aka John Calvin, then blasted his father with a hard chair shot to the head, and all Hell broke loose. Quite a well done hatred filled, chaotic scene. Reed Bentley eventually made the save, which was a babyface turn for him, as Johnny Rotten and Knuckles escaped thru the front door of the building.

7. BJ Whitmer won a #1 contenders match for the IWA Mid-South world title

Others in the match were Ace Perry, Reed Bentley, Gary Jay & Shane Mercer

8. Mitch Page beat Zodiak & Derrick Neal in a three way

Well yes, but not exactly. Zodiak, who does a straight up masked Abyss rip off, with maybe a little Kane thrown in too for good measure, decided to come out and join this match on his own. I guess it was good he did because Derrick Neal got the back of his head busted open on a dive, and had to leave the match. He did walk out under his own power, and we were later told he was going to be Ok. But scary moment there for sure.

9. Josh Crow w/Jason Saint beat Aaron Anders

This match felt completely pointless to me, and the rest of the crowd. Saint ended up coming out three times in a row as a manager during this portion of the show, which was two times too many. His act feels forced, especially back to back to back like that.

10. Thunderkitty & Chase Matthews w/Jason Saint beat Randi West & Joseph Schwartz w/Rodney Rush

Schwartz is over here with his nerdy Jewish character, and as it turns out, he's "married"(?) to the trailer park looking Randi West. Schwartz aired out some dirty laundry about West, saying several things a man couldn't get away with calling his wife in private, let alone in public, but they ended up making up, and making out, and probably making it later on...

11. Hy Zaya beat Harry Palmer

Speaking of dirty laundry, much was aired between Palmer and Hy Zaya before this match began, which made this match quite the intense affair. Years of pent up frustration let loose here. You could feel it from both guys, which is a good thing.

12. The Hooligans(Devin & Mason Cutter) beat Team IOU(Kerry Awful & Nick Iggy) and Team Friday(Homicide & B-Boy) in a three way tag

Everyone worked pretty hard here, but the show was getting really long by this point.

13. Kongo Kong w/Rodney Rush beat John Wayne Murdoch to retain the IWA Mid-South world title

Wow! What an awesome main event, with the crowd super into it, and it was pushing midnight. Kongo Kong is a huge black guy, I mean really huge. Picture a taller version of Kamala, but with amazing workrate. Just incredible action in this one. The babyfaces came out in support of Murdoch during the match, and pounded on the apron. But it wasn't enough as Kong finally got the win with a top rope splash to retain the title. Very impressive match by both gets here, and a great ending to the show.
