Independent Wrestling Association Mid South
Eager to follow through on his goal of wrestling for IWA Mid-South, Gray returned to Price of Glory Wrestling on January 6, 2008 thirteen pounds heavier than his last appearance. He wrestled only five matches with the promotion before making his IWA: Mid South singles debut in a loss against Egotistico Fantastico (The night prior to this match, Quick made his official debut in a six-man tag team match with Christin Able and Sami Callihan versus Billy Roc, Sabian, and Jimmy Olsen). Soon after his debut, Quick won an invitation to the annual Ted Petty Invitational tournament by winning a five was scramble match against current world Heavyweight champion Dingo, Cheech and Cloudy, and Brodie Lee immediately following a ten-man tag team match against the Naptown Dragons, Drake Younger Troy Walters, and Jaysin Strife. However, Quick would not stop there. He soon set his sights on then World Light Heavyweight champion, Jason Hades. In their first meeting, the two battled to a twenty minute time limit draw with a five minute overtime that saw no winner. IWA Mid-South owner, Ian Rotten saw it fit to schedule a rematch at Kings of the Crimson Mask, August 2, 2008. However, this time, the two would meet in a TLC match. Leading up to that day the two were paired up on a team involved in a six man tag-team match that resulted in Quick turning on Hades, costing their team the match. August 2, 2008, Quick and Hades would finally meet for the TLC match. However, as Quick entered it was apparent that he had acquired the services of Kimberly Kash, heelish valet and owner of Kash incorporated. After several attempts of getting involved, Hades was able to neutralize Kash and come away with a win. Disgusted with his loss, when offered a handshake, Quick refused, discarding Hades handshake and exiting the ring. Ian Rotten quickly took the microphone and offered Quick a rematch, this time inside of a steel cage. Quick happily accepted. Weeks later, Quick began badgering Hades, showing up to events he was not scheduled on, simply to attack Hades. Even going as far as duct taping a plastic bag over his head, and tying a noose around his neck and hanging him over the top rope. Hades had had enough. He begged and pleaded with Ian Rotten to pull the two out of the Ted Petty Invitational to settle the score once and for all. Hesitating, Ian agreed. Although, adding two stipulations. The match would now be an "I Quit" match inside of a steel cage and The loser would lose the name Ja(y)son forever.
September 27, 2008, with the assistance of Kimberly Kash providing weapons through the door of the cage, both Hades and Quick fought to the point of bloodshed. Quick eventually called for a screwdriver from Kash which would prove to be unwise, as it ended up in the hands of Hades. Hades then drove the screwdriver into the eye of Quick until Quick screamed, "I Quit." Quick did not re-emerge until January 17, 2009, as he was now being called "Quick" Carter Gray. He defeated Ricochet to become #1 contender for the IWA Mid-South Light Heavyweight Championship, and then went on later that night to finally become victorious and obtain the IWA Mid-South Light Heavyweight Championship against Dingo, who was holding both the light heavyweight title as well as the Heavyweight title at the time.

In v. 9, Paul wrote “Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.”

“There, on the mountain and the sky,
On all the tragic scene they stare.
One asks for mournful melodies;
Accomplished fingers begin to play.
Their eyes mid many wrinkles, their eyes,
Their ancient, glittering eyes, are gay.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“We have heard all of our lives how, after the Civil War was over, the South went back to straighten itself out and make a living again. It was for many years a voiceless part of the government. The balance of power moved away from it—to the north and the east. The problems of the north and the east became the big problem of the country and nobody paid much attention to the economic unbalance the South had left as its only choice.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
