HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES
The OutCasts regretfully announce the passing of their stable's founder, Nightshade, the Master of Mind Games (ASL). His record of 1,012-129-41, 8 stars, and $1,800,800 has earned him a place in our Hall of Fame. His passing on January 24, 2010 is under police investigation.
His career ran from 1995 to 2010. Nightshade wrestled and managed several times during that span. His final title record was 4 league titles, 1 TV belt, 14 regionals, 5 TV six-man tag straps, 2 six-man titles, and several battle royal victories.
The OutCasts would like to thank everyone for their support. The new group leader, his sister Synn, shared this statement with the press: "We were blessed to have had such a wonderful master. Nightshade was different and twisted, but he loved his family. His murder will be solved and avenged!"
Nightshade's servant, James Cavanagh of New York, accepted the Hall of Fame plaque on his late master's behalf.
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION
Steven M. Shotliff of Minnesota led CAST: "Sultan of Ice" Herb Brooks (ALL) to a win in the Diamond Federation, then Herb's 499-pointer allowed him to trade up to this $300,000 title! Steven wins his choice of 100 free matches or a real wrestling belt and 50 free matches.
U.S. CHAMPION
After fulfilling their contractual agreement and ending their alliance with the NME stable, the WCGP fired the first shot and immediately put the entire IWA on notice when WCGP: "151 Proof" A.Z. Bacardi (SAL) captured the U.S Championship! Bacardi defeated all other league TV champions with a 499-point strategy and won 25 free matches for his manager, "The Shot Caller" Tony Zamora of California. "151 Proof" is also the reigning IWA State Wrestling Champion for both California and Nevada!
KING OF THE RING
Anthony Rodriguez of Alabama saw two of his wrestlers win this title in the same cycle! Both Æ: Gravedigger (XWL) and FDC: "Big Handsome" Dick Handsome (LOL) had the most points when we added up the values of hold positions 2, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 14, and 15 in the strategy of every league battle royal winner, but Anthony still only gets one engraved plaque (or 25 free matches, if he chooses). TB: Incinerator of the FLL also had a 272-point KOTR total, but lost when counting all 15 holds. The league battle royals used hold positions 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, and 13.

When Judge Guyver (EAL) finds his opponents to be out of order, he hands down a sentence known as "The Lawmaker." Manager Delvon Mills of Florida was awarded 10 free matches for guiding His Honor all the way to this $25,000 title. Great job, Delvon!

NATIONAL CHAMPION, IWA-WIDE REGIONALS
As they continue to "keep it gangsta" in the ring and in the streets, the West Coast Gangsta Party proved just how deadly they are when WCGP: "The Bigg Dogg" Bullet Loco (SAL) put a beat-down on the entire Atlantic region with a perfect 501-point strategy. Loco then defeated the other IWA-wide regional champions as he C-Walked his way to the National title, winning 25 free matches for his manager, "The Shot Caller" Tony Zamora of California!
