MAY 2001

2001.05.30 - First off, I need to say "thank you" to the amazing Adam Devonaire for making a copy of the IWA Lancaster show for me. Second, I need to say "welcome back" to Cyrus Poe and Carlton Kaz who just returned from the Dory Funk's Conservatory.

Sherman Tank has relaunched his website: http://shermantank.virtualave.net
Be sure to check it out.

On a personal note, I will not be wrestling this weekend, as I will be in New York on business. This marks only second time since mid-March that I have not been booked. It has been a very busy series of months. It will be nice to rest my body for a few days. I have several nagging injuries that seem to be hanging on longer than I would like. This week off could be just what I need. June looks to be a very busy and important month for Mark Mattis.

Finally, best of luck and well wishes go to Shank Dorsey. He will be getting his arse handed to him by Axl Rotten this weekend. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Ha!

2001.05.26 - Biography page added. To access it, the click the [above] link labeled 'bio'. A short video clip from "Chaos in Columbus" has been added. The clip features 17 seconds of action. This action spawned an intense back and forth exchange that lasted for more than a minute.

2001.05.24 - Last night, I had the opportunity to watch (for the first time) video footage from the IWA "Chaos in Columbus" show. I had a good time working against Carlton Kaz, even though he is a cheating bastard. Overall, it was a very good show and one I was proud to be a part of. But, for those of you who know me, I am never satisfied. The ball rolling in the right direction. The trick now will be to snowball that momentum.

A new (8 sec.) video clip has been added. The footage is from a show in Dayton (Roger Cox's UCW) that pitted myself and Logan Caine against Shank Dorsey and Dale Johnson.

2001.05.20 - IWA presented "Chaos in Columbus" to a rowdy and ready crowd. It was a fun show and it is safe to assume the IWA will return in the not too distant future. For the benefit of those who missed the show, here is the rundown:

• Natasha def. Shawn Noxx
• Crosstown Players retain tag straps (def Poe Boys & Repeat offenders)
• Mark Mattis def. Carlton C. Kaz
• *Al B. Dammed def. Brian Fury in TLC2 to retain the cruiserweight title
• Shultz def. Money D. for US Title
• DDK & Roadblock went to double DQ
• "Hardcore" Tommy Chill def. the Holyman to capture the Hardcore Title
• * = Match of the Night

2001.05.16 - New pictures and videos are in the media section. Be sure to check them out. More multimedia is on the way.

2001.05.06 - A huge word of CONGRATULATIONS goes to Al B. Dammed for picking up the IWA Cruiserweight title. It was a true and earnest pleasure to be in attendance for Al B. Dammed first ever title victory.
