Newsflash

The PPV numbers are in for WrestleMania 24, and they are considerably lower than wwe and Floyd Mayweather expected. WrestleMania 24 drew 1,058,000 buys which works out to $23.8 million.

The numbers were released this morning with WWE’s first quarter earnings report, which had the company listed as pulling in $19.5 million in net earnings over the first quarter of 2008.

Super Indy VII

Friday, April 25, 2008
Court Time Sports Center
95 Enterprise Street
Elizabeth, PA 15037

Special Friday Bell Time 7:30
Show will start promptly at 7:30!
Ringside Reserved Tickets $25
General Admission Tickets $20
Kids under 10 General Admission Tickets: $10

IWC presents its Super Indy VII
This show includes an eight man elimination tournament featuring some
of the most talented stars in professional wrestling today.

New Match Added!
Special 7:25 Start Time
Michael "The Bomber" Facade vs CJ Sensation
This contest could also have Super Indy Tournament implications, as the
winner may replace Super Hentai in the tourney. Hentai, who was
brutally attacked by the Gambinos at the Coalition of Competition,
sustained a neck injury. If he does not receive medical clearance by
Friday, the victor between Facade and Sensation would take his place
against Ricky Reyes in the first round.

This announcement comes much to the chagrin of John McChesney, who has
been pleading to enter the tournament since his loss at Night of
Legends. After being denied late entry by IWC Promoter Norm Connors,
McChesney vowed to be at the show on Friday, as he wants a spot in the
tournament at any cost.

Super Indy Tournament:
Ricky Reyes vs Hentai (Pending medical clearance)
Troy Lords vs Davey Richards
Luke Hawx vs Shiima Xion
Jerry Lynn vs Jason Gory

IWC World Heavyweight Title Boot Camp Match: The Sandman vs Dennis
Gregory

IWC Super Indy & IWC/IWCA Tex-Arkana TV Title Match: Larry Sweeney vs
Ruckus vs Bryan Alvarez vs Delirious

#1 Contenders Match for IWC Tag Team Titles: Sexual Harassment vs Motor
City Machine Guns

IWC Women's Match: Awesome Kong vs Daizee Haze

Tickets can be reserved safely and securely online using your credit or
debit card by visiting IWCwrestling.com, or by calling 412-542-5170.

Future events include:
Hell Hath No Fury 3 - Saturday, May 17, 2008 Elizabeth PA 7:30 PM
Summer Sizzler 2008 - Saturday, June 7, 2008 Elizabeth PA 7:30 PM

The International Wrestling Cartel has been western-Pennsylvania's
largest and most exciting wrestling promotion for almost seven years,
and has grown large enough to warrant DVD distribution deals with
ROHwrestling.com and smartmarkvideo.com. Using a healthy dose of
established talent like "The Shooter" Brent Albright, AJ Styles, Ricky
Reyes, Delirious, and Low Ki, along with an impressive array of
fast-rising local talent such as The Gambino Brothers, Jason Gory,
Shiima Xion, and "Fabulous" John McChesney, IWC has grown to become one
of the most successful indy promotions today. For more information go
to www.IWCwrestling.com.

======

The May 2nd show has been moved to the Hartman Center In Joliet,
Illinois. The Sportzone in Indianapolis told us the only area they
had available was $200 an hour for a minimum of 8 hours. There is no
way we were going to pay that . We still haven't received the
security deposit back from the April show. If any fans in
Indianapolis know of any other buildings , please email me at
Rottenwife@aol. com. We apoligize to our fans in Indy. We definitely
want to run there if we can find a suitable building.

Grudge Match Main Event

Roderick Strong vs. Too Cold Scorpio

Too Cold Scorpio turned his back on the IWA fans and Ian Rotten at
the last show in Joliet when he turned on Mickie and joined BLKOUT.
He attacked Ian, Nick Maniwa, Jim Fannin and everyone else that he
could until being run off. Ian has some friends in this business and
made a few phone calls and found Roderick Strong more than willing to
come to Joliet and cave in Scorpio's chest with his heavy chops and
then break his back with the multiple variations of the backbreaker.

Can Scorpio even survive this matchup to continue the next night in
the heavyweight title tournament? Will the wily veteran be able to
pull out all the stops and defeat Roderick? We'll find out on the 2nd!
