Independent Wrestling Association: Mid-South (IWA-MS) formed in 1996 in Louisville, Kentucky. The owner, Ian Rotten, is one of the first to bring hardcore style of wrestling to the United States with his feud with former tag team partner Axl Rotten. He formed the promotion shortly after leaving Extreme Championship Wrestling in the mid-1990s. IWA Mid-South first came on the scene on October 10, 1996 with the first, of what would become weekly shows in Louisville, Kentucky. On April 3, 1997 IWA Mid-South crowned its first Heavyweight Champion, Tower of Doom, when he won a three way dance in the finals of a tournament.
Move to Indiana
In early 2000, IWA Mid-South moved its operations to Charlestown, Indiana. In late 2000, IWA Mid-South started to make a slow shift to more technical based wrestlers and matches. During that year Dave Prazak became a featured manager, ring announcer, and commentator. He played a prominent role in bringing in Colt Cabana and CM Punk to join Chris Hero and other technical wrestlers. With this change brought the birth of the Ted Petty Invitational Tournament (TPI), then known as Sweet Science 16. The first TPI was held in 2000 and won by Chris Hero. During this time, a match featuring Punk and Hero lasted 92 minutes and has since been referred to by ESPN's SportsCenter as one of the longest sporting events.
The race car drivers still had to commute to the races using the same stock cars that competed in a typical weekend's race through a policy of homologation (and under their own power). This policy was in effect until roughly 1975. By 1980, NASCAR had completely stopped tracking the year model of all the vehicles and most teams did not take stock cars to the track under their own power any more.
Summary
One hundred and sixty-seven laps were done on a dirt oval track spanning 1.500 miles (2.414km). There were no cautions and the time of the race was two hours, forty-seven minutes, and twelve seconds. The average speed was 89.982 miles per hour (144.812km/h) while the pole position speed was 99.944 miles per hour (160.844km/h). Fifteen thousand people attended this live and completely untelevised race. Total winnings for this race were $10,625 ($93,856.37 when adjusted for inflation) with the winner receiving $2,950 ($26,058.94 when adjusted for inflation).

Summary
One hundred and sixty seven laps were raced on a dirt track spanning 1.500 miles (2.414km). Twelve thousand people would attend this live untelevised race where Buck Baker would win in his 1954 Oldsmobile vehicle. Other notable competitors included Lee Petty (who led 150 laps which was considered to be the most laps), Marvin Panch, Jimmie Lewallen, Arden Mounts, and Junior Johnson. The average speed of the race was 89.013 miles per hour (143.253km/h) and the race took two hours, forty-eight minutes, and fifty-one seconds to complete. There was no record of the pole speed, the number of cautions, or even the margin of victory that Buck Baker had over Dick Rathmann. This event was the 35th race out of 37 in the 1954 Grand National season. Even though it was advertised as a 250-mile race, the actual distance of the race was 250.5 miles (403.1km).

The Biggest Wrestling Degenerate
Recently I posted a video titled The Deathmatch Wrestling Degenerates and I got a lot of comments asking why I didn’t include a man named Ian Rotten, now I had no idea who Ian Rotten was and upon research might be one of the biggest wrestling degenerates out there, and he needs his own video. Today I’m going to tell you all about Ian Rotten, a former wrestler and founder of IWA Mid South.

When dropping an elbow goes wrong. IWA Mid-South, Memphis, IN
Thankfully he is okay, but crazy enough that I had to share. The indie wrestling event took place August 2017 in Memphis, Indiana for Ian Rotten's IWA. The wrestler who took the slam is Marcus Everett. He (somehow) escaped with no injuries and has also kept a good attitude despite getting ridiculed on the internet since Jim Cornette talked about this on his podcast. He even finished the match!
