Travel, wrestle, wrestle, travel, wrestle and more travel
Friday, August 19th - AnnThraxx, Benjamin Sailer, Rain, "The Anarchist" Arik Cannon, Darin Corbin and I all pile into Van de Corbin for the trek to Indiana for some IWA Midsouth action. We head out around 3:30 in the a.m. and arrive at Trik Davis' place in Chicago around 10:30 a.m. and grab a few winks. We head for Midlothian, Indiana around 4'ish, get to the building around 6, say our hellos and get ready for the show. On this night I wrestle Darin Corbin which is pretty cool cause we've wrestled many times before so it makes for a fun match for me. In the end of this one it was I who came out with the "W" after hitting Darin with the Boom-Shaka-Laka. It was a pretty cool sight because a good portion of the crowd stood up after the match and applauded our effort. It was really cool to see and I would most definitely put this up as one of my better matches that I've had. After the show it was to IHOP for some dinner. This was my first time at an IHOP and it was pretty good. We then made our way back to the hotel for showers and sleep.
Saturday, August 20th - We got a late check out so that ruled. We left the hotel shortly after 1 p.m. and made our way to Lafayette, Indiana for night 2 of IWA Midsouth's double shot weekend. Again I was paired up against Darin Corbin on this night so I was pretty confident going into this match after scoring the win over him on the previous night. It was a pretty good match-up that once again saw me coming up with victory. He hit me with "Shin City" and went for a pinfall right away. The referree saw though, that Darin had his feet on the ropes for leverage and called for a break. Darin though thought he won and began to argue with the ref, I crawled behind Darin and rolled him up for an out of nowhere pinfall. So I'm 2 and 0 at this point on the weekend so things are going good. After the show we head to another IHOP, have some dinner, say our goodbyes and make our way home.
Sunday, August 21st - We get home around 11:30 a.m. so we pretty much head straight to the 10:29 bar for Buddha's annual outdoor show. The funny thing about this show was that I was teamed up with Darin Corbin, the very guy that I had wrestled the two previous nights. We're set to face "Genuine Article" Chris Jordan and "Playboy" Pete Huge, a.k.a. The Junk Squad. It was a pretty intense match that saw both teams getting chances for victory. But it was the Junk Squad who came up with the win after Huge low blowed Darin and hit him with "The G-Spot" or "X-Factor" for the victory. After the show it was back home for much needed rest.
Muchas gracias to Kim for the early birthday presents. They're awesome and greatly appreciated. I don't have any wrestling this upcoming weekend as I'll be attending a Disturbed concert on Saturday, my birthday is on Sunday, Monday I'm going to the State Fair, and Tuesday I'm getting a new tattoo. The next show I'm going to be on will be NIW's September 3rd show at the Cottage Grove Armory so if you're in the area, come check it out. Not only will I be there ;) but so will IWA Midsouth Heavyweight Champion Jimmy Jacobs so you know it'll be a good show.
