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.

The May 2nd show will be a Fan Appreciation Show. All tickets will be
general admission . All tickets will be $10.00!

little as $40!

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!

SJK Puts Up 1PW Title Against US Title On May 9

In a shocking event, Sterling James Keenan has told 3KWrestling that he wants to put up his 1PW Heavyweight championship against ZERO-ONE United States champion Jake Manning!

1PW is one of the premier wrestling companies in the United Kingdom and SJK has been their recognized world champion since October of 2007.

"To unify the 1PW and US title would be great so I can go back to England and show those limey's that the United States and US Wrestlers are a million times better then the British." said Sterling James Keenan. Keenan, who is very popular in 3KWrestling is the total opposite in the UK. He is the biggest bad guy on the universe according to the 1PW faithful.

Jake Manning, the reigning United States champion, looks at this challenge as a no lose situation for him. "I just got down conquering Europe and now I will take one of their titles too!" said the ever-confident champion. "Plus those 1PW are among the worst in the world, so I can't wait to shove both titles in their faces. I have already told my agent, Ty Dillinger, to make sure my ticket is upgraded to first class for their next show."

One person that doesn't seem happy about the title unification match is former 1PW and ZERO-ONE US champion Steve Corino. "I could care less. My problems with 1PW and their owner are well documented and over. Now my problem is with their internet fans. A bunch of arm chair bookers but you know what? I don't care anymore. All I am looking forward to facing Greg Spitz on May 9 in Limerick, PA."

3KWrestling hopes to get a statement from 1PW Chairman, Steven Gauntley this week during the debut week of 3KWrestling.com.

Kid America Hurt In A Heinous Attack

Although we don't have 100% confirmation yet on what exactly happened, we can confirm that co-holder of the Premier tag team titles Kid America suffered a broken hand on Friday morning while visiting the Cub Scout troop that we reported on last week.

According to Chester-Crozer Medical Center in Chester, PA, Kid America suffered fractures of the Externsor Pollicis Longus and has been told by 3KWrestling chief doctor Alan Goldberg, MD to take six to eight weeks off. Kid America said "HELL NO. I will make it to May 9 no matter what. I could have a broken leg and I would hop to the ring. Marcus Dowling thinks that The Best Around are going to take these titles away from me and Ricky and he is wrong. I am not letting the fans down."

Ricky Landell did not seem happy though, "What the heck happened that he would break his hand? I am sure it was something stupid. But I guess I will just have to work that much harder. I'm sorry, I am just frustrated because I want to make sure we are 100% on May 9."

From what we hear though, something big happened that caused Kid America's injury. And Greg Spitz is claiming responsibility. He told 3KWrestling's Mike Edition that him and The Monster C jumped Kid America before he went to talk to the cub scouts and that Ed Uncensored filmed it! We hope that Spitz is lying again (Like he is known to do) but Spitz and Uncensored said they will release the tape to 3KWrestling.com as soon as the website debuts.
