We regret to inform all of our wonderful fans that after 13 years of doing business, IWA Mid-South will cease operations after the Kings of the Crimson Mask show on Friday night August 28th.

We simply do not have the money in order to continue doing business. It breaks our hearts that this day has finally come but we just can't hang on any longer.

If you have placed any ticket orders for TPI or the Double Death/Anniversary show, please print out a copy of your paypal receipt and mail it to the PO Box in Morris.

IWA Mid-South
PO Box 647
Morris, IL 60450

We do not have internet access anymore so please do not send emails as we do not know when we would be able to view them. The fastest way to get refunds would be to send the copy of the receipts from paypal to the PO Box so we can have them in hand to know who is owed what.

If you purchased TPI tickets and have the tickets in your possession, please send a picture of the tickets since we do not have records of who actually received their tickets.

Kings of the Crimson Mask in Bellevue will be our final show. Necro Butcher will not be on the show as we can not afford to bring him in for the event anymore.

The new main event for the final show will be Ian Rotten vs. Mad Man Pondo.

IWA is going to go out like they came in in a rematch from the first ever main event.

I would like to thank everyone that has worked for IWA in the past, all the fans that have supported the product and all the people that have helped out along the way with security, selling merchandise, concessions, etc.

It has been a tremendous ride these last 13 years and it is heartbreaking to see it all come to an end like this.

I would type up more but it is too painful at this time.

Thank you.

Ian, Patti, Mickie, Jim, John Calvin

Meh, I'm sure this is a good way to get out of spending money on the TPI and for Double Death, where they were bringing in Masada, Miyamoto, and Funk. They'll probably pop back up in September. Sucks, since this year's TPI lineup was pretty good.

Yeah...don't buy it at all. I think the message was practically identical to the last time they were "closing". From all the shit I've heard about Rotten and the Mike Levy incident, I say good riddance, if true.

King Steventon · 08-26-2009, 03:14 PM

If it's real then thats some shitty news. I mean, Ian and his boys are failures of human beings but I still wouldn't want to see the promotion end.

Dunno wether I buy it or not though.

Sucks if true. Any promotion closing is bad news.

Aren't MS the guys that beat up a retard? Yeah fuck them, I hope they go out of business and all of them are forced to starve.

mike levy isn't a retard...he is a guy who is uber times 1000 badly trained. that retard label was added for smypathy for the idoit. zero talent

pretty bad downside even though it was very violent at times with going beyond hardcore it gave good breaks for up and comers.

it had a good run of 13 years for being an independent company.

i am optomistic about it closing but with their supposive last show we may get the offical word. could get lucky like they did at their 499th show and generate enough cash to continue.
