Missouri Wrestling Revival

By Dubray Tallman

Hello it’s me Dubray Tallman, with Dubi meets the fans at MWR. This would be the first time that I would be doing this feature at AAPW though it is a promotion that Brian and I have had a lot of fun attending in the past. The first show was in Mascoutah, IL and the following would be in Nashville, Illinois.

With the cold weather upon us and the snow coming down during the week I thought that the show may be cancelled but when Saturday came the roads were cleared and we were set to go. Brian had to pick up some wheels for a Camaro that his best friend had found on Craigslist along the way so we were running a little later than normal to the first AAPW show in Mascoutah.

When we got to the building I was surprised to see my good friend Bill who works with the wrestlers providing them with some top notch clothing that the wrestlers wear so it was an extra treat to get to talk to him.

When the doors open, I went and asked the AAPW fans if they would like to sign up for a free MWR T-shirt to be given away during the intermission. The first fan I met was 8 year old Tony Uhl. Tony told me that his favorite was the 3 Stooges fanatic Curly. Curly was more than happy to pose with his young fan.

Before we knew it the show had already started and I had yet to get a fan involved in the “Dubi meets the AAPW fans”So during the show I hurried to find out who in 2010 was popular amongst the fans.

As I write this we have already went to the Nashville, Illinois and got to witness Shane Rich turning on his good friend Edmund “Livewire” McGuire which caused McGuire his title. What I am about to show you here only makes Rich’s actions that much shocking. A week prior I spoke to a huge group of fans that quickly said that Shane Rich was their favorite. Jessica Gill, Steven Adkins, Leilani Thomas, Adam Carmichael, John Blazek, Tamara Robinson, Bruce Roberts and Jamie Moyer all stated that they were HUGE “Serial Thriller” Fans. On this night Rich was sweet and was more to happy to take pictures with his fans.

In our third set of fans for the night Rich was also chosen this time by Joseph Herard, Amber Kelly-Herard and Baby Arianna. Once again Rich was gracious enough as he prepared for his main event match with fellow fan favorite Curly as they took on the tag team of Rage, Mike Masters and Mitch Blake.

All in all, it was an exciting night even though Rich and Curly would not win, we had a great time and Curly gave me a promo that all of friends and family totally loved. Brian did a promo with the Champ Edmund and afterwards McGuire was thanking us for coming to the show I asked him if I could have my picture with him as he has always been one of the nicest guys in that we see at any of the shows. So I am going to include my picture with him.

That leads us to Nashville Illinois, Brian had asked one of his wrestling friends Jonathan Jones if he would like to come with us as my boyfriend was pumped up about the main event with Edmund taking on the Mississippi Madman in what Brian stated could be a match of the Year candidate.

This time I was more prepared as Brian spoke to Simon Dean and Andy Douglas for a moment and then made his rounds I got on the ball asking fans if they would like to be a part of it. Young Brad Boester from Nashville, IL was excited about the Big Mississippi Madman.

Sara Markham from Nashville, IL was a fan of Curly but unfortunately he wasn’t able to be there that night but she was more than happy to get her picture taken with the Mississippi Madman.

The last picture was a huge group of fans that stated that they were fans of the Submission Squad. Stacey Masch, Chad Ribb, Nick Vovch, Eric Big Nasty, Johnny Wad, Timmy Shoe, Enus Kohlbiecher, Eric Stretch Detmer, Travis Maximus Destruction Gebke, and not photoed but big fan Gayle Master Armwrestler all posed with the man in the mask Evan Gelstico and Pierre Abernathy. All of them was having a great time on this night at AAPW.

Once again AAPW put on a fun and great show, which is till Shane Rich stabbed Edmund in the back cause him to lose to the Mississippi Madman who did not see what Rich had done. I felt so bad for Edmund. He was so proud to be the champ. My heart goes out to him as he pulls himself up to face a friend who for some reason turned out to be a fraud.

At the moment I am not for sure if Brian is going to be able to get off work in time to make the IWA Productions show in Olney, Illinois with the Honky Tonk Man but if we do IWA Production fans look forward to seeing “Dubi meets the IWA P fans.

Till then when your Dubin it your Dubin it and when your not ….your not cool
