Missouri Wrestling Revival

Kevin Lee Davidson, Evan Gelistico and LaMarcus Clinton

MMWA Champion Da’Marius Jones will be in action this Saturday night at the historic South Broadway Athletic Club defending his title against Evan Gelistico. Prior to the huge six man match in April, Gelistico had not won a match at MMWA, but that would change as he teamed up with Kevin Lee Davidson and LaMarcus Clinton to challenge Jones, Gary Jackson and the Survivor Champion “Da Bomb” Brian James. When the smoke cleared, Gelistico sent shock waves throughout the MMWA locker room by landing a jackknife cradle on Jones for the win.

With revenge on his mind, the young champion quickly accepted the challenge of Gelistico, a decision that Jones may regret by the end of the night on May 9th. It has been true that Gelistico has taken some time to find some momentum at MMWA, but history has shown around the country that he is capable of defeating the top talents around the country to win titles in singles and tag team action and now has his eyes set on the MMWA Championship.

That was evident during the Cinco De Mayo celebration as Gelistico and his band of thugs ran rough shot on the MMWA fan favorites. Gelistico & LaMarcus Clinton accompanied Kevin Lee Davidson against MMWA Tag Team champion Andrew “The Wolf” Wilder. Wilder fought with all of his might, but the shenanigans of the duo at ringside were took much for him to overcome as BIG KLD once again picked up a win at MMWA.

In a huge singles matchup Gelistico with Kevin Lee Davidson & LaMarcus Clinton ringside was tested against “The Great One” Gary Jackson in one on one competition. Both Jackson and the fans were furious as Jackson had to deal with interference and distractions throughout the battle. After twenty minutes of chaos in and out of the ring the match was called a draw with Gelistico surviving the dreaded Texas Cloverleaf finisher. The fans screamed for five more minutes as they believed that was all the time their favorite Jackson needed to put Gelistico in his place but it was not meant to be.

Gelistico was not done for the day as he returned to lend a hand to his partner in crime LaMarcus Clinton as they bullied young Austin Blackburn in one of his first matches ever. Blackburn showed off some exciting offensive maneuvers ,yet it would be for naught as Gelistico and KLD stopped any momentum that the kid had against the cocky Clinton.

Heavyweight Champion Da’Marius Jones had his hands full as he teamed up with Barackus against former MMWA Champion Brandon Espinosa & A.J. Williams. In an exciting battle that showed why Jones has been successful as the MMWA Champion, he was able to withstand the mind games and assault from one of the best in the country Espinosa early on, giving the big man Barackus a chance to deliver a clawhold flatliner on Espinosa for the 1-2-3 for his team after nearly 15 minutes of wild action.

Jones ended the day with his hand raised and the MMWA title chance around his waist, but in the shadows is one Evan Gelistico looking to make his second win at the promotion be his first MMWA Championship.
Was this his plan all along?

Be there this Saturday
