IWA-S

IWA-S
IWA-R owner Kit Hodge spent the end of 2016 alienating both their fan base and locker room with a series of questionable talent trades, storylines, and financial discrepancies. This came to a head following the 2016 event "IWA Big in Japan VIII" where none of the roster got paid, and many of them were left stranded overseas. With IWA-R's reputation imploding, getting blacklisted by a large number of the international stars it relied on to draw, and bankruptcy in the immediate future; the company closed its doors to restructure. Long time road agent Jeff Moor didn't want R to be the lasting legacy of the original IWA, and with what few stars would still associate with the brand, created a regional offshoot based out of Saskatchewan. If no one figures out what the S stands for, there may be hope to get back to a larger stage for the IWA yet.

Roster
Hreidar RED, Kirk McLaren, Buffalo Cleaver, Reed Fulton, Gerald Gingras, Terry Garnett, Bryson Ward, Hunter Lunsford, Kaleb Rice, Ashton Harwood, Blake Mainer, Reaper Kilpatrick, Jackson Miller, Rusty Nail, Luke Stone, "Strangler" Ted Robinson, Mach 11, Kid Starr, "Cowboy" Fred Brown, Sean Bullet, Giant Appliance Jones, Ben Sweet, Pierce Mann, The Human Crush, Glitter Maniacs,
