Missouri Wrestling Revival

Dan Walsh (C) vs. Ricky Cruz

The last time Dynamo Pro was in Glen Carbon, what began as a spirited competition between friends broke down into mayhem with bitter results. Ricky Cruz had preceded his title shot by making light-hearted jokes about the champion but wound up finding the result of the contest no laughing matter. During the even-keeled wrestling contest between champion Walsh and challenger Cruz, Kevin X unexpectedly arrived to take umbrage with being denied a rematch for the Dynamo Pro title following his unsuccessful challenge against Walsh at the previous event. As Walsh, Cruz, and the Dynamo Pro Wrestling official thwarted Kevin X’s attempted interference, the unpredictable, unkempt monster Jake Dirden stormed the ring from out of the crowd. Ricky Cruz quickly cut Jake Dirden off at the pass, but just as quickly found himself caught and pinned by the focused champion Dan Walsh. Walsh had no time to celebrate his victory before Ricky Cruz flattened his own friend with a skull-rattling kick.

It is unclear whether Ricky Cruz was simply frustrated with coming up short in his title opportunity or felt that Walsh had intentionally taken advantage of the distractions. It was perfectly clear, however, that the previously jovial Cruz was in quite a foul mood after his match.

Dan Walsh, our reigning and defending Dynamo Pro Champion, has taken the unusual step of demanding a rematch against a challenger. Neither Walsh nor Cruz has commented on the contentious way their last confrontation ended, but we are told that there were three conditions to this rematch.

No interference.
No distractions.
No excuses.
