Missouri Wrestling Revival

In less than a year “DirdEY” Jake Dirden has accomplished more than many wrestlers can only dream of. The Dynamo Pro Wrestling student has sought out the toughest of men to battle while trying to learn from the best that the sport has to offer.

With a natural talent and a great look wrestling promoters in the Midwest have been clamoring to get him in the ring, while fans have been thrilled to see that happen. Standing at 6’8″ and weighing in a total of 253 pounds he has traveled to the top promotions in the Midwest including Ohio Valley Wrestling, Metro Pro Wrestling, Southern Illinois Championship Wrestling, 3XWrestling, Mid Missouri Wrestling Association and Dynamo Pro Wrestling.

Dynamo Pro owner “Evil” Jim Yount, who has worked with the likes of Evan Bourne (Matt Sydal), Delirious, Dingo, MsChif and Daizee Haze had this to say about Dirden “From day one of his training, I could tell he had the “it factor”. I knew he would be going places. We are extremely proud of him and all that he has accomplished in such a short time.”

Dirden took part in TNA’S Gut Check in St. Louis on October of 2012, shortly after that he traveled to Eldon Missouri, for Harley Race’s annual WLW/ WWE and Pro Wrestling Noah camp. He was chosen from the trainers to take part in the weekend show at the end of the camp to see if he could impress them in live action as much as he did during the weekend long camp. The results was in after an impressive match against Mizfitt Manners the powers to be at Japan’s Pro Wrestling NOAH quickly offered Dirden the opportunity to work with them in 2013.

This past weekend inside a Dynamo Pro ring in Glen Carbon, Illinois, Jake Dirden was able to defeat Ricky Cruz, a man who in the past year and half has only been defeated clean in the ring once. This win should give him the confidence as he heads to Japan to train in one of the most respected, hardest working dojos in the world.

So mark your calender for this day in history as the time has come this week for the Dirden to invade Japan, and just as his Midwest opponents have found out that Jake Dirden is a man that will leave his mark wherever he goes.
