IWA-MS KOTDM 2007 results/thoughts (both nights)

Ben Jordan is replacing Jim Fannin as ring announcer for night 2 and he is ringside doing opening announcements.

1). Brandon Thomaselli def. Low Ki to retain the IWA Mid-South Light Heavyweight Title

Brandon throwing chops and the crowd is calling him a "****" and booing. Low Ki had connected on a thunderous chop earlier that the crowd loved. Low Ki fires back and the crowd loves it. Low Ki goes for a dropkick but Brandon holds the ropes and Low Ki crashes to the canvas. Brandon goes for a powerbomb but Ki blocks out of it and does the double foot stomp onto Brandon's chest. Brandon gasping for air and Low Ki keeps flooring him with chops and then puts him in the corner and gives him the multiple chops and a running elbow. Spinning roundhouse kick to the stomach by Ki and Brandon is in bad shape. Kicks to the chest as Brandon is on his knees. Low Ki is on his A game tonight and looks primed to win the title. Butterfly suplex into a pinning bridge but Brandon kicks out at two. Ki back to vicious kicks to chest and back on the fallen champion. Low Ki attempts a charging forearm smash but Brandon does a diving dropkick to Ki's knees. Brandon tries for another powerbomb but Ki fights out of it and punts a field goal into Brandon's chest as he was bent over and Brandon flies backwards into the referee. Brandon hits The Deal (Powerbomb Lungblower to the back) but the ref is down. Brandon pulls out a chain but Low Ki delivers a John Woo dropkick and sends Brandon flying onto the ref. Ki goes up top very slowly but Brandon kicks the rising referee in the butt and knocks him into the ropes causing Ki to be crotched on the top. Brandon then gets the pin on Low Ki with the aid of a foreign object on his hand and punch to the face as Ki had him up for a belly to back suplex. The winner and still champion...Brandon Thomaselli.

2). Naptown Dragons def. Southern Rock w/ Joey Eastman in the Circle City Street Fight

Joey Eastman has explained how he was hired by Southern Rock since he is such a great manager. He has "Camera Man Zoom" bejeweled onto the back of his regular black suit coat...while wearing bright orange bejeweled pants.

Quick doubleteaming from Dragons to start complete with Vortekz springboarding off of the back of xOMGx, whom was on all fours, and delivered double knees to the face of Jed in the corner and then a double Rude Awakening style neckbreaker onto Jed. The action has went to the floor and I can't see anything. They are definitely into the pile of weapons up against the wall because I can hear the mayhem even though I can't hear it and I believe some it involves light tubes or Christmas ornament weapons. xOMGx was tied to the Tree of Woe and Joey Eastman held light tubes in front of his chest and Jed speared into him breaking the tubes on xOMGx. xOMGx is down in the corner and Vortekz is laying on top of a bed of plastic forks...I don't know how he got there but it was a double team move of some sort. Kidd with a superplex on xOMGx. Jed and Vortekz are on the floor and Jed just speared Vortekz into the corner of the ring. Jed is gushing blood from his arm and it is heavily taped. Kidd gave xOMGx a super Michinoku Driver off the second rope. Vortekz stops Jed from delivering a move off the second onto xOMGx but eats a Canadian Destroyer from the second rope for his trouble from Jed. Joey is adding more tape to the cut on Jed's arm to try to stop the bleeding and then they use more of the duct tape to tape xOMGx to the bottom rope but Vortekz makes the save and they doubleteam Jed and tape him to the ropes instead. Joey is trying to untie Jed while Kidd tries to fight off both Dragons. Powerbomb blockbuster combo off the ropes onto Kidd and then Vortekz delivers a top rope knee onto Kidd as he was laying on top of light tubes for the pin.

3). Corporal Robinson def. Mad Man Pondo to advance to the semifinals

The two fight by the plugged in lighttube contraption and after a couple of near misses...Corporal drop toe holds Pondo through the electrified light tubes but no pinfalls. Pondo recovers and delivers a stop sign shot to the head of Corporal. Pondo ties Corporal into the Tree of Woe and lays the stop sign in front of Corporal and throws a chair into the stop sign. Pondo plugs in a new lighttube contraption and sticks Corporal's face onto the lighttubes to feel the burn. A fan has a weapon with a stuffed horse with lighttubes taped onto it. Corp is sitting in a chair and Pondo makes the ref hold the lighttube horse to Corp's face and hits a centon off the second rope onto Corporal smashing the tubes into his face and crashing through the chair. Pondo tries to use the plugged in lighttube like it was his stop sign but Corporal ducks the swing and kicks the electrified tubes into Pondo's face but Pondo kicks out at two. Corp is making a brigde with the electrified tubes across two chairs and calls for boot camp but Pondo blocks and tries for a powerbomb but Corporal back drops him. Corporal with a Crippler Crossface. Corporal with a top rope rana on Pondo through a bunch of tubes and such across the chair for the pin.

Pondo brings the house down with another big vagina joke on the lady that was picked on last night. Standing ovation and "we love Pondo" chants throughout the building.

4). Brain Damage def. Mickie Knuckles

Mickie attacks a confused Terminator with a VCR to the head and light tubes. Brain Damage is busted open immediately. Mickie has set a bunch of light tubes into the face of Damage and delivers a BBoy dropkick shattering the tubes into Damage's face. The Terminator still confused and not sure about the destruction of a woman but Mickie wasting no time drills him with a trash can and now the Terminator is set to destruction. He just collasped a metal trash can over Mickie's head and is cheese grating her face. Brain Damage breaks tubes over Mickie's back SO HARD THAT THE GLASS FLIES FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE RING OVER THE TOP OF THE GIMMICK TABLES AND ALMOST HIT ME IN THE BACK OF THE BUILDING!

Brain Damage is now going to town on Mickie's arm with Barb Wire in the exact spot that was left gaping open after the match with Tank last night. Blood is gushing from Mickie's face and arm. Mickie is in tears and the Terminator is going "What the I have a potty mouth is going on" and Mickie rolls him up for two and Brain Damage wigs out. Several punches to Mickie's face but Mickie is firing back with forearms and now an intense exchange of headbutts. The crowd is going nuts. Powerbomb by Brain Damage but Mickie kicks out...modified cradle powerbomb but Mickie kicks out again and Brain Damage is very angry and gives her a hooked piledriver into weapons for the pinfall. Brain Damage advances to the semifinals as the fans chant IWA and "Mickie Knuckles" and Brain Damage calls Mickie "a tough ing bitch." They embrace in the ring to the fans cheers.

5). Dysfunction def. Drake Younger to win the IWA Death Match title and advance to the semifinals

Jockeying for position to throw each other into the boards but neither man can do it. Dys calls Drake a bitch. They go to the floor and start fighting. Barbed wire bat shot to the chest on Dys. Drake tries to throw hot sauce on him but Dys turns the tables. Attendance is close to 200 and most of them are standing in front of me watching them fight on the floor so I can't see anything. The crowd is ooooooohing and acted grossed out by something. I saw Drake's back was all cut up and he had a lot of lemon juice squeezed onto his back. They return to the ring and Drake gets a near fall with a spinebuster. Drake went for a border toss onto a barbed wire bat but Dys falls out the back way and sends Drake down backfirst onto the barbed wire bat. Running kick to the face only gets two. Dys takes the bw bat to the face of Drake. Drake slides out between Dys' legs and trips him stomach first onto the bw bat. Drake goes up to the top rope and misses the frog splash. Dys with a top rope legdrop onto the bw bat onto Drake. Drake with a running powerslam through the bw board in the corner on Dys but only two. Dys slides out of the cop killa. Drake slides out of Dys' finisher. But Dys finally hits a DVD off the top rope and gets the pinfall on Drake and wins the IWA Death Match title and advances to the semifinals.

6). Freak Show def. Necro Butcher to advance to the semifinals

Necro immediately enters the ring and starts drilling Freak Show in the face with fists. There is a cardboard life size stand up of the Rock wrapped in Barbed wire. Necro killing Freak Show with chops on the floor. Necro is killing Freak Show with everything that isn't nailed down. They are getting way to close for my liking and Necro just gave Freak Show a chair neck tie for a two count. Thankfully there is about 100 people in between me and them even though though are about 10 feet away. The crowd was chanting for Necro and I have no idea what sick and demented thing he was doing to Freak Show. Someone just has eaten a lot of light tubes. They have returned to the ring and it looks like Freak Show is in control. Show drives about 8 light tubes taped together into the chest of Necro as he was flat on the canvas. Avanlanche in the corner by Freak Show and the barefoot Necro is down. Yes Necro is barefoot walking through the tacks, glass, barbed wire and various crazy insane objects in the ring. Necro goes for a bodyslam but Freak Show is too heavy and Necro collaspes under the weight but only two. I don't know how someone came across it but a weapon just used was a gas pump hose...the handle that you put into your gas tank. That has to be a felony. Necro with punches and he just knocked a whole lot of coagulated blood off of Freak Show. Disgusting. Bodyslam by Necro and more punches. Freak Show blocks a running clothesline and delivers a standing short arm clothesline of his own. Freak Show just pins Necro following a modified DDT into the weapons.

7). Insane Lane & Danny Havoc def. Mean & Hard w/ Jim Fannin & Fukimoto & Deranged

Guys I was ringside and can't remember everything. This was Mean Mitch Page's retirement match. We said farewell to him after the match. Very emotional.

8). Corporal Robinson def. Dysfunction to win the IWA Mid-South Death Match Title and advance to the finals of the KOTDM.

Dysfunction is not fairing well in this slugout with Corporal. Dys picks up Corporal in a fireman's carry and rakes him across the barbed wire. They take it to the floor to get out from under the London Bridge. Back into the ring and Corp returns the favor with a fireman's carry pick up into the barbed wire and he almost pushes Dys through the barbed wire. Back out to the floor we go. Corp applies a figure four on Dys out on the floor. Crowd woos. They brawl up onto the apron and Dys goes up top. Corporal cuts him off and toss him onto the barb wire with a press slam. They are suspended and tangled in the barb wire. Corporal applies the Boot Camp clutch and Dysfunction is choked out. Your winner and new IWA Mid-South Death Match Champion - Corporal Robinson and he advances to the finals of the KOTDM.

9). Freak Show def. Brain Damage to advance to the finals

Looks like this will be another impossible to follow match. More people standing directly in front of me so I will do what I can. I see Brain Damage standing over a fallen Freak Show on the floor. Crowd chanting for BD. FS is using the cigarrettes as a weapon and now BD is returning the favor. BD with a reverse DDT into the pit of hot coals on FS. I was distracted but the crowd is chanting bullcrapand telling the ref that he sucks. The winner Freak Show. The crowd is chanting "kill the ref" and "Brain Damage".

The crowd has sung happy birthday to Mad Man Pondo during intermission. Pondo told more jokes on the blonde in the second row. We are still setting up for the main event.

Freak Show and Corporal Robinson are not wearing shirts for the people that I have seen saying that they would be wearing 5 shirts for extra padding.

10). Corporal Robinson def. Freak Show to become the 2007 KOTDM.

They start with a punch out. Fans yell "boo" for FS punches and "yay" for CR punches. Both men are yielding light tubes and exchanging strikes back and forth with the tubes. Neither man can gain control however as the adrenaline is flowing and they are feeling more pain. Just don't ask them to move in the morning. The Jedi and the Sith have gone back and forth with the tube sabers and we are up to about 20 apiece with no one in control. Finally Corporal takes down Freak Show and we have more tubes being used. FS is sent face first and stomach first into the broken tubes and then eats a contraption of about 10 tubes taped together. FS with a side slam on the tubes. Fans chanting "Mid South." FS is whipped into the corner and it sounded like a gunshot went off with all the tubes that exploded. Their backs are destroyed and bleeding like crazy from all this glass. These two are freaking crazy bastards for doing this. It looks like they are wearing Mitch Ryder's glitter all over them from the shards of glass stuck all over them. Multiple shots to the head with the tubes by CR onto FS. FS gives a huge Samoan Drop onto Corp into all the broken glass. Both men on their knees having a punchout. The "boo" "yeah"s return. About 20 punches each and both men are down. Crowd chants "IWA". FS goes for another Samoan Drop and Corp slides behind him and hits Boot Camp through a Light Tube ladder thing made by fans for the win. History in the making as Corporal Robinson joins Ian Rotten as the only 2 time tournament winners. All hail the new king!

Insane Lane hits the ring and Freak Show and Insane Lane are about to gouge Corporal in the eye with the spike before Ian Rotten and Drake Younger makes the save. Ian is on the microphone and tells them to remember where they are "there is a hell of a lot more of us than there is of you!" FS calls Ian an old man. Ian promises that medical clearance or not, August 4th it is Corporal Robinson & Ian Rotten & Drake Younger vs. Six Feet Under & Tank in an Anything Goes Fans Bring The Weapons match.

IWA Mid-South stands tall in the ring celebrating the victory over the IWA Deep South crew.
