IWA newsletter - 2009 TPI moved to September & lots more

[James Fannin]

As the title reads, somebody already let the cat out of the bag before we could announce this the way we wanted to (with a revised lineup), we are moving the TPI this year to September 4th and 5th. With so many guys not being able to make it to this years tourney, we decided to post-pone the event until we could have the very best in indy wrestling. As you know, Dragon gate is also running Chicago that weekend on the 6th. This way, fans can come in and enjoy TPI and Dragon Gate as well. We are currently working on a revised lineup and will have a FULL lineup announced this Saturday in Joliet. For those of you that have purchased tickets...... We will still be running June 5th and 6th in Joliet. We plan on still having a big show (just not TPI status). If you cannot attend the rescheduled date for TPI, then you can still use your tickets and receive the money back (exp: for both nights, tickets will be only $25 each. We will give you the remainder back in a credit or refund.) If you would like to keep you're already purchased TPI tickets and use them for the rescheduled date in September, then please let us know via email at rotte...@aol.com. If you can not attend TPI and wish not to attend June 5th and 6th, then a credit or refund will be offered to you. We hope you see why we had to change the date and reassure you that it will make the tournament better as a whole. We believe what we have for June 5th and 6th will be outstanding. ****************************************************** Opportunity The Bellevue Plaza 325 Bellevue Avenue Bellevue, IL Belltime: 8 pm; Doors open: 7:15 pm Tickets: $20, $15 & $10 If you had purchased a ticket for the May 1st show, those tickets will be honored at this event. IWA Mid-South World Heavyweight Title Match Dingo vs. Yellow Dog Jim Fannin has guaranteed Dingo that the Yellow Dog is Jaysin Strife. Strife vs. Dingo was a hellacious feud in 2008 that culminated with Dingo winning a loser leaves IWA match at 2008 TPI. Dingo wants his chance to unmask the Yellow Dog and find out if it is indeed Jaysin Strife and God help us all if he finds out that it is Strife!

Rematch of the most famous Dance Off in IWA History "Sweet N Sour" Larry Sweeney vs. Ian Rotten Last Man Standing Michael Elgin vs. Keith Walker Michael Elgin won a spot in the 2009 TPI by winning a 4 way match that involved Walker. Walker attacked afterwards and a few chokebombs later, Elgin had to be carted out on a stretcher. The next night Elgin still hadn't recovered but tried for revenge and fell prey again to the dangerous Walker. This time Elgin has had time to recover and will attempt to put Walker in his place.
