This elimination bout was held at one of IWA Mid-South's marquee events, "Simply The Best 5," and features six of the top younger talents on the roster. Florida's Roderick Strong, Chris Hero trainee Emil Sitoci out of the Netherlands, Canada's Petey Williams and Minnesota's Arik Cannon (who would both later go on to become IWA World Heavyweight Champions), as well as former IWA Light Heavyweight Champions Nate Webb and Jimmy Jacobs comprise the bout. Tag rules apply, with only two wrestlers in the ring at a time, until only one man is left standing.
