The final 20 keep rolling right along folks. Today one of our favorite guests returns to help promote tomorrow and Friday’s big IWA Mid-South Ted Petty Invitational.

1: How do you feel about this year’s TPI field in comparison to year’s past?

At the very least, it’s totally different from any other tournament on the indies. Great mix of young talent, veterans & established names in wrestling.

2: Are you shocked every year at the shear amount of talent Ian gets involved in this thing?

Definitely. Ian keeps the cards close to chest when it comes to TPI. He’d call & say, “announce Monsta Mack for TPI”, LOL. Ian always tells the story about being the first guy to fly Joey Ryan to a show, all the way back in 2005, so it’s awesome to get him back, 14 years later for his 3rd TPI.

3: A big story going into this year is Aaron Williams. Is winning three in a row too big even for him to accomplish?

People said a repeat would be too big & he did it. Talk about a guy that’s been on the run of his career. If anyone has the momentum & talent to do it, it’s Aaron.

4: Alright, time for the real shit. Who you picking?
We got guys & a girl that are on some win streaks. I can’t pick one competitor. It’s too hard!

5: Finally man. If there are any fence sitters about coming out this week what’s your final sales pitch?
Nowhere within 300-500 miles are you gonna find a show of this caliber for $25 a night or $30 if you can only make one night. No overpriced meet & greets, no 40 Milers (besides myself) that shouldn’t be in the building. 24 of the very best on the indies today. Can’t make Thursday? I’m almost positive everyone on Thursday will be there on Friday as well! Don’t be the dummy sitting at home reading results on MidwestTerritory.com!

That’s all I gotta say, I’m outta here!

This is also the time of year where we really start asking for donations to keep this thing running for the next year. Last year it literally came down to the last second as to whether or not I could keep this thing going and I’d rather not have to deal with that again. So if you can donate a couple of bucks please do. Or head on over and pick up a t-shirt, hoodie or some of our other fun stuff.. If you use the code MIDWEST you get free shipping until the end of the month. If not? Maybe share some of this stuff or make a comment on a column so I can make enough from the site to make it self sustainable.
