“The Belt Collector” Jeremy Wyatt was moments from capturing the NWA World Heavyweight title from Adam Pearce in January in Des Moines, Iowa at 3XW. Wyatt the current NWA Central States Champion has brought honor back to the NWA by defending his title around the Midwest. Wyatt is considered by many to be the baddest man on the planet.

The Worlds fittest wrestler Mark Sterling’s name is brought up each and every time the discussion of who is the best wrestler not signed by WWE/TNA/ROH is brought up. Sterling and Wyatt have a rich history. Often they have teamed up, while other times the competitive spirit have set these two men against each other. Wyatt was able to capture the NWA Central states title that Sterling held at Metro Pro Wrestling in Lawrence, Kansas in a four way elimination match by defeating Tyler Cook.

At 3XWrestling the two have battled in what many have said was the greatest match in the Midwest in the past ten years, the 60-miniute Iron Man match that went into overtime. Sterling would get the victory in OT and the match went on to win the 2011 MWR Match of the Year.

Each mans desire to be the best has them once again going at it in a second IRON MAN match at 3XW during WRESTLEMANIA weekend on March 30th in Des Moines Iowa!!!!!!!

Even with the competitive juices at an all-time high, Wyatt and Sterling both know that when they each combine their skills they are the wrestling elite. St Louis’s promotion High Voltage Wrestling former champion Kahagas found out that the hard way as the Wyatt and Sterling formed the KC Killers with then protégé Mike Sydal to cause havoc throughout the promotion. Wyatt still boast the HVW Title to this day.

Down the road, the Killers would nearly cause a riot as Wyatt challenged for one of the few titles that he has yet to win the AAPW Title. The place West Frankfort, Illinois, the Champion the Mammoth Mississippi Madman . While the AAPW fans may have thought that the Madman was in for an easy night, they quickly saw how nasty “The Belt Collector” can be. By the end of the night Sterling and Wyatt had fans chasing them out to their cars in one of the most surreal moments in MWR history.

Wyatt would not be able to win the AAPW but Sterling sent the message to the fans and management of AAPW that they march to the beat of their own drum. (Photo Credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)

Fast forward to today.

The Kansas City Killers continue to dominate but now their former partner Mike Sydal yearns for the cheers. In February Wyatt and Sterling would celebrate as the Killers new young stud SHOWTIME Bradley Charles would defeat Tyler Cook for the NWA Kansas title much to the disgust of the Metro Pro Wrestling fans. SBC once a hometown crowd favorite and the first ever MWR Future Star Award recipient now completes the Kansas City Killers.

This past Saturday, Wyatt would add another title to his collection as he was able to smell blood from the wounded champion Bull Schmitt in their title vs. title match at the Turner Rec Center.

Schmitt a true powerhouse showed true heart by not tapping out to Wyatt’s crossface only to find himself losing his title when he passed out to the fearsome finisher.

Kansas fans can only hope that former MPW Champion Michael Strider can slow down the momentum of the Killers when he receives a title shot next month on April 7th in Kansas City at the Turner Rec Center.

The year is only starting and the KC Killer are everywhere. SBC showed his true colors at Pro Wrestling Phoenix when he turned his back on the fans in Council Bluffs, Iowa and laid out PWP Champion Matty Star after his match with Ryan Slade. Thanks to a title match at any time SBC was able to start the match for an easy pin on Star.

How will the red hot promotion AAPW contain the Killers as they enter into Collision season 2?

One blessing seems to be that they have not announced that SBC is not on his way so maybe that’s the plan of AAPW Management. Still, two KC Killers are more than enough to cause things to heat up down southern Illinois.

We wish our personal friend and AAPW Champion Edmund McGuire and AAPW the very best and give him this advice, Watch your backs, because on March 17th, Wyatt and Sterling returns.
