Investigation into IWA Mid-South Event
From Rich Tate:
The Sellersburg (IN) Police Department is investigating whether a match that took place in their town was a work or a shoot. Back on
June 21, IWA Mid-South ran a show in the parking lot of a bowling alley, which featured a match between Mike Levy and Mickie Knuckles.
Video of the match, which is highly graphic, has made the rounds on the Internet, and Chief Russ Whelan does not know what to think,
but is clearly concerned. Levy, who was not only beaten by Knuckles but was also attacked by many other wrestlers, fans, etc., has not
pressed charges. Promoter Ian Rotten spoke on camera, defending the match and the participants, saying the match was part of the
show. He also believes people that brought it to the attention of the media and local authorities are competitors of his company. Click
