First and foremost, I hope everybody is having a happy Thanksgiving... I know I have, and I truly am grateful for all the well wishes presented to me. Thanksgiving used to be traditionally the biggest night in wrestling with a little event called Starrcade and then Survivors' Series, and as a fan of professional wrestling I made a major mistake and forgot it's you, the FANS, that makes all this possible, and for that I apologize. So, in the great tradition of Thanksgiving being a big part of professional wrestling, I will use this day to make an announcement of what I think will be a creatively made tournament. March 1st and 2nd, IWA MidWest and IWA MidSouth presents THE KING OF THE DEATH MATCHES 2013!! First, you the fans will vote and make the 16 seeds of the tournament. You will be given the 16 men in the tournament all at once in the upcoming days, and the wrestler that gets the most 'likes' will be the number 1 seed... and THEN, after the seeding is completed, the number one seed will be put up with a poll to determine his opponent in the first round. Then, after THAT, the matchmaking will continue with the highest seeds out up. Once YOU, the fans, have booked a guy against a top seed, he will no longer be able to be picked... then after we have all 8 matches we will have our first round tournament picked by you, the fans, for the 2013 King of the Death Matches. I think this will be fun and an exciting way for you, the fans, to really get into this tournament. So, enjoy the rest of your Thanksgiving and March 1st and 2nd in Bellevue, the madness will TRULY begin!

Since it's inception in 1997, IWA Mid South's King of the Death Matches has meant pure mayhem and on March 1st and 2nd, 2013, joining the first 4 entrants (Drake Younger, Mosh Pit Mike, Matt Tremont, and Damien Payne) is one of the greatest mayhem makers of all time-- the number 5 entrant into the King of the Death Matches is an IWA Mid South staple and the 2002 King of the Death Match winner. That's right, folks, that means only one thing... the Necro Butcher will be in attendance on March 1st and 2nd in Bellevue, Il!
The number 6 entrant is also a former champion, not to mention has taken multiple shots by competing in finals to try to become a two time King of the Death Match winner. The 2008 King of the Death Match champion, the Philadelphia scumbag, the Notorious one... Devon Moore joins the field of 16!
The number 7 competitor was a surprise finalist in the 2011 King of the Death Matches, and will certainly be looking to cement his future as a death match wrestler as he will vie for this years title... Simon Sezz he will be the 2013 King of the Death Matches!
In death match wrestling, sometimes there is a fine line between toughness and stupidity... and the last time we saw the number 8 competitor in this tournament, he was obliterating that line! In 2010 Chuey Martinez was wrestling in this extremely dangerous tournament with a broken leg! You can be guaranteed in 2013, he'll be looking to be healthy and looking to take the crown back to Texas!
The number 9 participant in the 2013 tournament will truly make this an international competition defining every bit of the word sick in every form and fashion. Death Match wrestling fans will never forget the sight of blood squirting out of his arm and Sexxxy Eddy just sticking his tongue out to catch it! Be ready, Bellevue! To quote Sexxxy Eddy in his acceptance of his invite into the tournament, "I miss showing my junk in Illinois!"
So... 9 down... 7 to go. So have a Merry Christmas and we'll see you in the days following up to the New Year with more participants!

And to KICK HIM, I would have to be far from reality if I didn't see why you would have your doubts. You say you've supported the company since 2003, so for all the good shows I've given ya, I'm asking you to give this one a chance. I'm working my ass off on things, and I need all the help I can get. From everyone. I hope you can find it in your heart to give me and this company one more shot. If not, I understand, but I'm just asking.
