We have four second round matchups for you tonight as well as some extra matches sprinkled in from the various territories around the IWA. And we are going to start it off with a barn burner as two of Windy Cities best go at it to see who will advance in the tournament. " Match One: Dusty Rhodes vs Kerry Von Erich w/Gary Hart (Tournament Quarter-Final match) Dusty hits an arm drag and threatens Kerry with his elbow, so Von Erich wisely hesitates.

Vin Erich locks in another Iron Claw and Dusty is out cold, so the ref counts Rhodes’ shoulders to the mat for a 3 count. Kerry Von Erich advances to the Semi- Finals!
Jim Ross: "The numbers game was too much for The Dream in this one. But I think the bigger story here is, whether it be by hook, or by crook, Kerry Von Erich continues to win. The odds makers in Vegas have to have this guy high on their list to win this tournament." Match Two: CM Punk vs Austin Idol (Tournament Quater-Final Match) The match starts with an exchange of chops between the two men. Idol backs Punk into the corner and hits a few more chops as Idol starts to target the injuries that Punk sustained during his Street fight at Violence of the Lambs. Idol pulls him into the middle of the ring and connects with a vertical suplex. Punk gets to his feet and kicks Idol repeatedly in the back.

Jim Ross: "After going through that brutal street fight last week at Violence of the Lambs and watching Punk here tonight..... it's very clear this man is not at his best and the injuries are nagging him. He has two weeks to get back to 100% or he could find himself out of this tournament." Match Three: The Junkyard Dog vs Booker T Booker uses a lot of dirty tactics , but JYD fires back .

We actually get some wrestling in early spots as both men exchange headlocks but HBK ends up hitting a right hand and then a scoop slam that sends Arn outside to talk to Tully …. Back in, Arn gets a cheap shot on HBK and then rakes the eyes over the top rope, but HBK fights back and sends Arn to the floor again and hits a slingshot plancha ….
