After the win, Jackson put the bad-mouth to RON POWERS at ringside and gave him (and the crowd) the 3-RULES – in case anybody forgot! Jackson accused Powers of eyeballing the M0/IL title belt and told Powers to get back into shape, get a license, remember the rules and try to make it to the top once again and told Powers don’t be discouraged if when it’s time to get that title shot it’s The Great One wearing the strap after laying down Vaughn! Gary ended his words by reminding Powers that Gary only faces top-10 talent, so, if Powers is back looking for a match with Jackson… HE’S BEAT!!!

Posted by flairwhoooooo on March 15, 2010

The Hooligans (Photo Credit Michael R Van Hoogstraat)

In 2009 Devin and Mason Cutter not only knocked on the door of the Midwest, they kicked it down to let everyone know that they were one of the top tag teams in the country. Known as the Hooligans they traveled across the country going to war against the top teams such as The Northstar Express, Zero Gravity,the Hybrids, the KC Killers and the Submission squad. The MWR Awards committee voted them at the 2009 Tag team of the year and to honor their achievement MWR is proud to announce that they will be the #3 MWR Trading card in the series.

We are hoping to have this card available on March 27th in Granite City Illinois at High Voltage Wrestling. If you are unable to make the show then all you have to do to get this card is send $1.50 for the first card and a $1.00 for each card you want after it to Brian Kelley 305 west 3rd Salisbury Missouri 65281. Also look for the cards at the shows that the Hooligans will be in action at. Cards are limited so take advantage soon.

Local pro wrestlers balance life in and out of the ring

Posted by flairwhoooooo on March 14, 2010

By MOLLY BECK (molly.beck@sj-r.com)
THE STATE JOURNAL-REGISTER

A masked man ducks into the ring, a cape flying behind him.
Red covers his eyes, and white knee-high boots meet his fire engine-red spandex pants. His tiny T-shirt that’s embroidered with “DTM” — short for Dan The Man — covers his pecs and not much else.

Dan stands tall, chest puffed. The cape comes off and the crowd cheers.
That is, until a man in black appears from behind the curtain. He makes his way toward Dan, the crowd’s hero, with the intent to destroy, pausing just long enough to be welcomed by one of his few admirers — a 70-year-old woman named Darlene.
Despite being at least 60 pounds lighter, protagonist Dan The Man welcomes and tackles the man in black, bracing himself in the center of the ring. Dan’s nemesis, known only as TRIPC to the clamoring crowd, is rendered lifeless in a mysterious feat of overcoming basic physics.

The combatants — whose real names are Dan Gusler and Alex Larson — compete during the third match in a 2 1/2-hour professional wrestling event that fills Lanphier High School’s basketball gymnasium with boisterous applause and dangerous theatrics on the last Saturday night in February.

While there’s not always a promise of payment (with the exception of gas money to out-of-towners), the wrestlers work for New Midwest Wrestling — a minor-league pro wrestling company based in the Springfield area that has at least a dozen wrestlers who balance their love of the show with raising babies and working full-time jobs.
As Dan and TRIPC kick, body slam and throw each other around, Darlene Molenda of Springfield watches from her usual post at the east side of the ring — resting comfortably in a motorized wheelchair and audibly reacting to each deafening blow. She’s too enthralled with the action to speak.

Husband Chris Sible, 42, sits at her side

“Wrestling mimics life. We’re always at conflict,” said Sible, a wrestling fan since he was a boy and Ric Flair was a first-time heavyweight champion. “There’s so many similarities between (wrestling) and life.”

Is that true?
