JOHNNY B SAYS
Look inside your envelope for this year's Stablecade sign-up form, which could be your wrestler's ticket to a $100,000 payday! It's also available as a PDF on the PlayIWA.com Results page.
Stables must enter at least five members in order to participate. Wrestlers without stable initials will compete under the "Free agents" banner. Entries must be received with your matches and strategies for the upcoming March cycle.
Which group will come out on top this year? Stay tuned!
Longtime manager Eric Jones gave the fans plenty to cheer for this cycle by winning the King of the Ring, Diamond Federation, American, Asian, and Elite belts -- not to mention his second and third IWA World titles! The last time our biggest championship was disputed occurred during the March 2022 cycle, when VIRUS members Fella and Zach Sabre, Jr., both managed by Michael Drake, had to share the honor.
Congratulations on your truly dominant performance, Eric!

"As a manager of countless champions -- and that includes winning the World honors once before -- I have had my share of ups and downs over my 35+ years in the IWA. In all that time, I've never had more than 15 wrestlers on my entire roster. I've always preferred focusing, as a commissioner, on making sure that others have enjoyed the game (hey, that's our job!). However, let me tell you: never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined a tour this amazing. Man, for one tour, I am humbled and grateful to be mentioned as the brightest star among the True GIANTS and Hall-of-Famers who have graced these pages time and time again."
