If you know me just a little bit then you know that I love and respect pro wrestling. That foundation started with All Star Wrestling out of Kansas City for an hour once a week at Midnight on one of my 3 TV Channels living out in the country as I dreamed of being a part of pro wrestling. I had a ton of time on my hands and with very little access to pro wrestling I was thrilled to check out the latest issue of Pro Wrestling Illustrated that my friend Billy Hasty seemed to have a ton of as we rode on our bus home for an hour plus each week day.
To this day I am unsure if I ever saw a Eric Embry match (Prior to Youtube) but I had read his name enough through the years that I feel as if he was a star. That was the power of the PWI magazine in my life. As great as the stories were and the truly great photography throughout each of the issues of stars such as Dusty Rhodes, Harley Race and Ric Flair my favorite part of the issue is the Results page that listed who won in what states. I bet you I had read that a million times to see who won where and though I always questioned in my head how King Kong Bundy got disqualified 3 nights in a row, I always looked the other way and enjoyed the thoughts of being there.
I try to bring the same respect and honor that PWI did in the past to the promotions that Missouri Wrestling Revival covers with the MWR Yearbook that also features a Results section in each of the books that we have published. I feel as if these events are not documented then they will be lost to history and that would be a shame as there is so much work that goes on by the promoters and wrestlers to make an event happen. Take for example trying to find out the complete history of the Historic South Broadway is nearly impossible and thankfully we had Larry Matysik for the Wrestling at the Chase.
Today I would like to share with you the 2014 MWR Results for the promotions that we cover in hopes to see if I can get some information on some lost shows. Thankfully the promoters have been awesome in keeping us updated as life does get in the way. I know I will be forgetting some people but several of my contemporaries are crucial in keeping history alive each and every week in the MWR Coverage area including Patrick Brandmeyer, Dan Gier, Ben Simon, Andrew Abbenhaus and Steven Lucas.
I am still looking for some results so if the promoters have access to finding out what happen during these events or if I missed any completely I would be more than happy to add them. I am working on the yearbook and would love to include them. Feel free to check for spelling as I often make mistakes especially some mistakes that I seem to do often though I mean no disrespect.
