We are looking into a better venue in the Peoria area. We want to have a place that will bring in a bigger crowd of fans. Bellevue is simply not drawing the fans that the show deserves. IWA-MS is bringing the fans the matches that no other promotion is putting out there. The DVD sales are proof that people want to see the product. We really want to have great crowds and we know that we need a better location and even multiple locations. This is currently what we are trying to achieve. We know that IWA-MS has to deal with it's previous reputation and we have to overcome those problems. Our fans will be there for us. We are listening to your desires. We brought out a great card for KOTDM and have put out 2 shows since then with excellent talent and great matches that have the wrestling world buzzing about IWA-MS once again. Just like we all knew would happen. We have been looking for a better place for a while and have decided that we are not going to try and run Bellevue again but we are close to a deal in Peoria as well as a deal in another town that will bring IWA-MS back to its fans in a town that is hungry for great wrestling. I simply can't elaborate on more than this until we have a contract in place. I know that you all understand that. Stay tuned. We will not disappoint our FAMILY.

AWESOME.So true.The shows are top calibur and the matches the people want to see.And the few obstacles to beat are better to take the time to beat them for good.The last 2 shows WERE above the "past gen's" bar and w/o as much bloody violence which is a plus for the long haul.Kudos,Thanks and hear from ya soon.Happy Holidays to allof you.

don't wanna be a dick about this, but you guys need to promote better too. running shows in a nicer building's great and all, but it doesn't matter what the building's like if nobody knows about the shows.
even simply having a stronger web presence would be great. I subscribe to WON/F4W and visit multiple message boards on a daily basis, listen to podcasts, etc., but I wouldn't have a clue that IWA-MS still existed if not for this message board, which is not a good way of conducting business. and that's taking the main website into consideration, which looks like it hasn't been updated since 2008.
also, advertise locally.

Be careful heavythundar....you are walking on thin ice. The last guy who suggested IWA promote better and offered to help them for free....was "blocked or removed" according to Scar's post.

At least the thunder guy is being reasonable. Mr. Tacos was a troll, pure and simple.

Good on you all for taking this seriously and not sticking to what may have failed in the past.
I disagree with you Scar about tacos being a troll (can't confirm this) but personally I would have asked to see what the guy's done in the past.. get some references, see what if any design ability he has along with former ambition vs action before writing off a free worker. If you all have his contact info feel free to pass it on, I can always use a motivated worker so long as they're not getting paid.
Just saying is all, I do love IWA-MS and glad you guys are trying to make it work.

If he wasn;t a troll then he went about his business proposition the wrong way...

He pointed out everything that he had to offer, then asked the new owners to contact him if they were interested.
Yes he was underselling IWA... I mean this company wouldn't have survived as long as it has if it wasn't doing something right. But that said - just as CZW can't survive without Zandig, IWA probably won't progress without someone the fans love.. the fans loved Ian.
I'm just a nobody who's been buying vhs/dvds since 2000. However, a lot of what he was saying made a lot of sense. Would it take a company to the next level no, but it was a free offer from someone who potentially was motivated. In my previous endeavours I was most successful when accepting free help, that's all.
