Whitley Bay Ice Rink
UNIFIED WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE:
Triple H Vs Matthew Mercy
The two top superstars in the IWF clash in a one-on-one bout for the first time in over five years with the biggest prize in the game on the line. What is clear from the last month or so is that these two do not like each other, but the whole industry is looking on with anticpation as each man attempts to prove that he is the best. HHH says he is "The Game" and that he's on the form of his life; Mercy says that it's been too long since he held gold and that he's determined to put that right at Man Of Steel.

MAN OF STEEL TOURNAMENT;
SEMI-FINALS:
CM Punk Vs Umaga
Elijah Burke Vs Mistico
PLUS THE FINAL;
Punk/Umaga Vs Burke/Mistico
Man Of Steel is traditionally the biggest tournament in the IWF's calendar, and this year has thrown up the usual mixture of excitement and surprise. The field has been whittled down to four superstars, but who will prevail? CM Punk has been on the roll of his life in 2007 but faces a unique and tough challenge in the form of the Samoan monster Umaga. Elijah Burke is looking to cement his reputation and one of the hottest young superstars in professional wrestling, but the high-flying wizzard Mistico offers up a unique challenge of his own.

WORLD CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE:
Milano Collection AT Vs Matt Sydal
Milano Collection AT has been a very impressive Cruiserweight Champion over the past couple of months but he faces a tough challenge at MoS in the form of Matt Sydal. Ok, so the cynical amongst you may suggest he's only been named Number One Contender thanks to Lizzy Valentine's, ahem, alleged trists with Commissioner Roberts, but no matter what the reasoning behind the making of this match it offers Sydal a big chance at gold.
#1 CONTENDERS TAG TEAM MATCH:
America's Most Wanted Vs MNM
America's Most Wanted had some spirited exchanges at Super Series, and MNM have been in-fighting ever since Johnny Nitro returned at the same event. But both have the opportunity to put aside their differences with each other as they meet in a match to decide which team will challenge Elijah Burke & Chris Jericho for the titles at Neon Blue. America's Most Wanted are former three time World Tag Team Champions but would dearly love to become the first team to ever hold the belts 4 times. MNM had a record breaking European Tag Team title reign, but have never managed to lift the big one. For both teams this could be the first step on the path to ultimate glory.
Finlay & Jazz Hands Gee Vs Randy Orton & Jay Reso
Has their ever been an odder couple than Finlay & Jazz Hands Gee? Perhaps not, but if only for the sake of their companions Hornswoggle and Lil' Louis, the two are getting along...to a certain extent. Orton & Reso aren't exactly bosom buddies either, but their mutual hatred for their opponents, who have had the better of them in recent weeks, has brought them together. Who knows what to expect from this match, but we will guarantee that there will be chaos!
Mohammed Fakjir Vs Matt Morgan
Fakjir's cocky attitude is well known, but this time it may have got him into more trouble than he bargained for because annoying Matt Morgan isn't a good idea at the best of times...and given Morgan's current apparent mental state, Fakjir certainly picked the worst time!
WORLD WOMEN'S TITLE:
Alexis Laree Vs Jenny Taylor
Laree may have finally won her hard fought war with Rebecca Knox at Super Series, but the challenges just keep on coming. Can Laree turn back this new challenge or will Taylor lift the gold?
