Missouri Wrestling Revival

Des Moines-based 3XWrestling proudly congratulates always-exhilarating aerial specialist Mike Sydal on being selected the 2009 Pro Wrestling Illustrated “Rookie of the Year.”

Sydal, who is currently one-half of the 3XW Tag Team champions The High Flyers (with “Unbreakable” Zach Thompson), won with 24% of the total vote, beating out TNA Wrestling rookie sensation Jesse Neal.

Widely known around the Midwest wrestling scene for his breathtaking high-flying maneuvers and unbelievable speed in the ring, Sydal is the brother of current WWE superstar Evan “Matt Sydal” Bourne. He’s recently branched out to competing on the east coast in states such as Florida and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s famous ECW Arena.

Sydal joins an illustrious group of previous award winners that includes luminaries such as Larry Zbyszko, “Nature Boy” Ric Flair, Bob Backlund, Ricky “the Dragon” Steamboat, “Wildfire” Tommy Rich, Terry Taylor, Nord the Barbarian, “Total Package” Lex Luger, Owen Hart, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, “Das Wunderkind” Alex Wright, The Giant, Goldberg, Kurt Angle, Randy Orton and fellow former 3XW competitor Zach Gowen.

Sydal’s next wrestling appearance in on Feb. 5 in Des Moines, Iowa as part of 3XW‘s Reign of Terror event at the Des Moines Social Club. Sydal teams up with Thompson to defend the 3XW Tag Team titles against The Gentlemen’s Club – Mark Sterling and Gage Octane with Todd Countryman. This is a rematch of the spectacular August battle between these teams at the King of Des Moines Tournament event.
