CORRECTION
In the previous issue, we erroneously listed the manager of Maryland Champion SHS: Agent 26 (BRL) as Michael Patuleia. Our apologies to his correct manager, Tim Pollino of Massachusetts.
JOHNNY B SAYS
Jack Widowmaker nearly won the Jade Federation belt, which would have been his second time in three cycles. His manager, Ralph Meyers, only has one other wrestler in the game -- namely, previous Metropolitan Champion Rex Splinters.
Splinters had to defeat the reigning champion, Bulk Brogan, to claim that honor, but manager Darryl Hilton was able to get the title safely back in his possession. Did he have Brogan to thank again, or one of his other wrestlers? The answer is Brogan, because Darryl doesn't have any other wrestlers!
Next cycle, we begin mailing out the sign-up forms for the 2021 Specialty Championships. Rosters of all sizes are welcome!

SOE: Titan Terror (FAL) 1,021-179-46, *11, $2,902,100
Titan Terror Announces Retirement
Titan Terror was one of the most feared IWA wrestlers in the mid- to late-'90s, winning both the King of the Ring and the National titles. He quietly walked away back in 2000.
Almost two decades later, Titan Terror would once again make his presence felt in the IWA, after returning in 2019. This time around, Terror captured Turtle Beach at Imagimania in 2020, as well as the 2021 New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Texas state titles.
Titan Terror is proud to finally have his long-overdue spot in the IWA Hall of Fame.
