Harley Race will be running a beginners 2-day seminar that will teach prospective students who want to pursue their dream of becoming professional wrestlers. The Harley Race Academy produces wrestlers that have reputations that speak for themselves, many of which have landed contracts with W.W.E and other promotions around the world. The Academy is ran by “The King” himself and he has selected top students to help him shape and mold current students of his school into outstanding wrestlers.

The seminar will be held September 2nd, and 3RD (Friday and Saturday respectively). The hours will be from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm on both days. At the seminar, Harley and his instructors will be teaching prospective beginners the basics when it comes to ring activity. Along with the in-ring learning you will also be doing multiple –cardiovascular activities which has been designed by Race himself and still teaches at his academy to this day.

This opportunity is being provided to prospective students of the game because there are too many places that take advantage of people wanting to learn the right way. At the Harley Race Wrestling Academy, you will learn the right way with the 8-time Worlds Heavyweight champion himself present. You have the chance to learn the correct way to the craft that gave him 30 years of experience and the respect that only he has obtained.

The price for the seminar is $100.00 per person. This covers the cost of the class itself. Outside cost (food, hotel, travel, ect) would be at that person’s expense. It should also be noted that this seminar is not affiliated with the 11th annual Harley Race Wrestling camp October 17th-21st . However, there will be an opportunity for a student from the seminar to receive a discount to the wrestling camp in October if he or she chooses to attend both. Please note that payment for the camp is to be made at sign in on the first day September 2nd. Please do NOT pay online with our paypal system.

Canada’s Ryan Slade and AJ Smooth has been a force to reckon with as they have caused trouble at  3XWrestling and MECW. Always in great condition Slade and Smooth used their stamina to their advantage in some very big wins including a MECW Tag Team Championship.

In March of 2009 during a Tag Team Gauntlet Match: Sexy and Smooth (“The Canadian Sex Icon” Ryan Slade and A.J. Smooth) defeated Kwongercricket (“The Asian Sensation” Ricky Kwong and “The 80s Pop Icon” Donnie Peppercricket), The Horndogs (Maddog McDowell and Krotch) and The High Flyers (“The Unbreakable” Zach Thompson and Mike Sydal) to become the No. 1 contenders for the 3XW Tag Team titles held by the Northstar Express.

The duo looked to be poised for many more championships but like many tag teams, differences would surface. During this summer MWR was on hand to witness AJ Smooth win a “shave the sideburns match” over Slade when Tony Sly distracting the ref allowing Smooth to crack him over the head with the Canadian flagpole at 3XW’s Downtown Destruction III.

Next week at 3XWrestling Ryan Slade will attempt to even the score in a Canadian Tuxedo match.

The exciting Knights of Fire featured Jaysin Strife and Vic Victory, two fan favorites who put their bodies on the line for the fans and their never die attitude kept them in every match.. This duo quickly ended the reign of Simply the Best (Hype Gotti and Tony Cortez) to become the PWP Tag team Champions.

The Knights of Fire would get a top notch victory when they retained the titles from F1RST Family (Arik Cannon and Ryan Cruz) then back that up the next month retaining the titles against “The Passion” Zac James & Preston Maxwell, Jimmy Rockwell & Ricky Kwong, and Brett Young & Mark Sterling in a 4-Way Elimination Match.

The Supergroup known as Murder Miltia would soon come to dominance at this time thus spelling the end of their title reign.

A fan requested that a video or match be added of the teams if I should find one so here you go a music video of PWP’S Year Of The Phoenix IV that included some highlights on the Knights of Fire.
