"2007 Carnage Cup"

Elkmont, AL

IWA Deep South returns on Saturday night December 1st at 7:00 PM to the Country Music Barn in Elkmont, Alabama with it's yearly death match
extravaganza known as the Carnage Cup.

This year's field will consist of 12 men, all hungry to become the 2007
Cup holder. We know there are lots of death match style tournaments
around the country, so we here at IWA Deep South are trying to be a
little different and you will be seeing some different competitors
mixed in with your hardcore favorites to make up a totally unique
tournament.

The tournament set up will be:

- The First Round will consist of four 3-way matches which will each
end when one man is eliminated and the remaining two men will advance
to the second round, so 4 men will be eliminated and 8 men will move on

- The Second Round will consist of 4 singles matches

- The Finals will be a 4 way elimination match

So there will be 9 big death matches making up this year's Carnage Cup.
The first round will be set up like the old CZW Best of the Best style
bracketing, but the difference will be in the second round where the
men who advanced from each match will not face each other in the second
round, they will face someone new so there will be lots of different
matchups throughout the tournament. The 8 men who move on to round 2
will basically be re-shuffled as we feel this will give fans the
opportunity to see many different and unique matchups.



Here is the list of men signed to compete in this year's Carnage Cup:

1. Drake Younger - this young man has been on a tear in the death match
scene all over the country over the last year and a half making it to
the finals of last year's Carnage Cup and winning this year's CZW
Tournament of Death. He is always an odds on favorite to win any
tournament he enters.

2. Insane Lane - another man who has been competing in death matches
all over the country and also a finalist in last year's Carnage Cup and
as his name implies, he is truely insane and willing to do anything to
win his first tournament.

3. Danny Havoc - if you've ever seen this young man, you know he has no
fear and is willing to put his own body through hell in order to win a
match. He has competed in several CZW Tournaments of Death and IWA King of the Death Match tournaments so although he is the youngest
competitor in this year's field, he does have lots of experience in the
death match world.

4. Sexxxy Eddy - the man who set the world abuzz at CZW's Tournament of Death 3 has said he is looking to reclaim his glory and wants everyone to know he was no one tournament wonder and is tired of everyone forgetting just how hardcore he can be. The Sexxx Express is coming to Alabama on a mission to reclaim the death match crown and take the Cup.

5. Tank - the first ever IWA Deep South Carnage Cup champion is looking to become a 2 time winner and has said he is training harder then ever for this one and taking time off from other promotions to get focused
and come in at 100% and destroy everyone in his path.

6. Ian Rotten - the "Undisputed King of Hardcore" has been locked in a war with FreakShow and IWA Deep South for the better part of the last year and would love nothing more than to take the Cup. Another thing to remember is that Ian will be retiring from wrestling a week after this show, so this will go down as his last ever death match tournament and I'm sure he will be trying extra hard to take home the trophy.

7. FreakShow - like mentioned earlier, he has been embroiled in a
bitter rivalry with Ian for most of this year and along with getting to
this year's King of the Death Match finals, he has been battling Ian in
some of the wildest matches including Fire Death Matches, No Rope
Barbed Wire 200 Light Tube Matches, Barbed Wire Cage Matches and much, much more, so he feels he is ready for anything come December 1st.

8. Viking - this man comes to us from the IWS promotion in Montreal, Canada where he has been tearing it up the last few years and is looking to make a big name for himself in the U.S. and what better way
to do it than by winning the 2007 Carnage Cup. If you have never seen
him, he is another man with no fear, willing to do whatever it takes to
win, whether that be knocking someones teeth out or smashing them with
light tubes or a barbed wire bat, this man is coming for blood.

9. WHACKS - many of you may only know WHACKS as the man who took pictures at ringside at CZW shows for years, but what you may not know is he has also been training on and off for years with CZW. Recently he has put aside his camera and been focusing on wrestling, and along with dropping 60 pounds and getting into tremendous shape he has been focusing on his training and anyone who knows him, knows he loves the death match style, so now he has the wrestling ability to go along with
his craziness and he is looking to make a huge impact on December 1st.

10. UltraMantis Black - now I know most of you are scratching your
heads and saying that must be a typo, but no you read that right.
UltraMantis Black, the leader of the Neo-Solar Temple is coming to IWA
Deep South on a mission. He is known mainly from his work in Chikara,
where they don't exactly have a "death match" division, but he
contacted us and said he has conquered Chikara and is looking to expand
and take over IWA Deep South and said in order to do that he wanted to
go right to the top by winning the Carnage Cup. He said although many
fans have never seen this side of him, he can get downright violent
when he needs to and said the other 11 men better not look past him.

11. Deranged - this big, violent hard hitting beast will be another man making his IWA Deep South debut at the Carnage Cup. He has been in countless death matches from Indiana to Japan and everywhere in between and contaced IWA Deep South officials and demanded to be in this year's tournament and officials granted him his wish as they, well honestly, were afraid to tell him no.

12. JC Bailey - the last man in the tournament is making his return to IWA Deep South after a lengthy absence and is one of the top death
match wrestlers in the world today. He is another man with boatloads of
tournament experience, has no fear, and is always a favorite to win.

There you have it, the 12 men signed for this year's Carnage Cup. We
feel it is a good mix of young up and comers with some of the death
match veterans which should make for some interesting and unique
match-ups as we're trying to give something different to our great
death match fans. In the coming weeks, we will announce the brackets
for the first round and some of the crazy stipulations for these 12
hardcore maniacs.
