Missouri Wrestling Revival

In June, these three men (Scott Keyes, Bucky Collins and Central Illinois Champion Tyler Priegel) stole the show in an epic triple threat encounter. Both Keyes and Collins impressed the New Midwest Wrestling matchmakers so much, that we had to bring that match back home to Lanphier High School. The challengers are more focused and more prepared for this contest. And “The Dodgeball Superstar” Tyler Priegel is coming off a white hot streak, especially after gaining a pinfall victory over Ryan Phoenix at our last event. Couple all this with the fact that Hunter Matthews, who is livid over not fighting Scott Keyes, is contesting this match even happening, and you’ve got one powderkeg of a Central Illinois Championship match!

Truk Thompson is, undoubtedly the powerhouse of New Midwest Wrestling. When it comes down to it, he has ran through everyone in his way and without remorse. On Saturday August 27th, he’ll get the one opportunity that has eluded him to this point: a match for the New Midwest Wrestling Championship. Ryan Phoenix has always been a fighting champion and has made it known that he is very ready to try to chop Thompson down. Phoenix has fought men larger than him, but no one with the sheer power of Truk Thompson. Phoenix is giving up a size and strength advantage, but has proven to be very resilient in the past.

Spencer Powers and Guy Smith took exception to the fact that Derek Moss, still in his rookie year, was getting opportunities left and right. That’s when Eric Logan stepped in. Logan felt Moss was humble and ready to prove himself. After winning a No. 1 Contenders match in May, the Crew has waited and will get their opportunity against the braggarts known as Attitude Inc. With Perry Winkle at ringside, the challengers have a heavy task in front of them.
