Missouri Wrestling Revival first awards were given for 2008, as we looked to honor the men and women of the Midwest. To bring them exposure to the west and east coast as well as the fans of the Midwest.

The award for MWR Lifetime Achievement Award was a no-brainer as it would be the former 8-time NWA World Champion Harley Race. Race has traveled around the world bringing respectability to the sport of wrestling since his debut in 1960. While he won World titles, entertained fans as “King” Harley Race during the boom years of the 80’s at WWF (E) his biggest contributions could very well be outside of the ring. Race currently owns the wrestling school the Harley Race Academy as well as the wrestling promotion World League Wrestling. The school provides the proper training to be a pro wrestler and have produced stand out wrestlers such as Trevor Murdock, Matt Murphy, Wade Chism, Bull Schmitt, Joe Hennig, Keith Walker and current WWE Ref John Cone.

Just as important as the school for the aspiring wrestlers, WLW for over ten plus years has been able to raised over 250,000 thousand dollars for the families, communities and schools around the Midwest with wrestling fundraising shows.

He is a member of every prestigious and worthy Wrestling Hall of fame around the World and it was with great pleasure that we were to present Harley Race with a worthy MWR Lifetime Achievement plaque with a great illustration of the one of the worlds greatest wrestlers of all-time from artist Rob Schamberger.

Today’s WLW is filled with a great roster from the WLW Champ Jason Jones, Brian Breaker, Ryan Drago, Jeff Strong, Jack Gamble, Mark Sterling, Steve Fender ,Dustin Bozworth, Stacey O’Brien, Miss Natural just to name a few. So when you see wrestling poster in your hometown and it has WLW on it, know that your money will be well spent and go to a good cause.

Fans this month can catch WLW four times as the Second annual Harley Race invitational tournament will be decided. Last years ,winner “The Prince” Jason Jones propelled that momentum towards capturing the WLW Championship.

This month Kevin Von Erich returns to WLW , while his sons will have their very first match EVER!! 

April 20th – Brian Breaker/WLW Champion “The Prince” Jason Jones vs. Ross/Marshall Von Erich (with Kevin Von Erich ringside), WLW Tag Team Champions will make title defense, “The Well Mustacheod Gotch Stylist” Ryan Drago will have singles competition, WLW Ladies Championship will be defended as Stacey O’Brien faces The Great Cheyenne. More TBA.

More TBA

April 27th – More Harley Race Invitational Tournament semi-qualifying matches will take place as Brian Breaker aims to secure a spot in the finals of the tournament. WLW Champion “The Prince” will have a championship title defense, and WLW Ladies Champion will defend her title (assuming the championship doesn’t change hand before this night), and the Von Erich brothers will be in action against WLW tag team champions Strong & Reckless!

April 28th – The finals of the Harley Race Invitational Tournament take place this night with the participants to be decided upon by previous matches, the Von Erich Brothers will be in action,  WLW Ladies Champion  will be defending her WLW ladies championship, and WLW Heavyweight Champion “The Prince” Jason Jones puts his title on the line.

At Yuletide Terror Mat Fitchett was left a bloody mess by Dingo. He also lost his best friend Greg Jovi when Greg spit in his former friends face. At Gateway to Danarchy Fitchett was in a battle alongside Davey Vega and the two almost beat Team Ambition of Davey Richards and Kyle O’ Reilly. However the “dirty rook” was once again screwed by Jovi when he showed his face in this amazing tag match.

Fitchett almost quit the wrestling after this tag team loss but his good friend Davey Vega quickly jumped down his throat and the two have agreed to help each other out in achieving the goals they have set for thereselfs.

#9 ranked in the World “The Belt Collector” Jeremy Wyatt captures 3XW belt at IRON MAN 2!!

In a weekend full of hype and excitement, there was no other place to be than in Des Moines, Iowa at 3XWrestling. Though Sheamus would defeat Daniel Bryan for a World title, the Big Show would be able to get revenge on Cody Rhodes with the PUNCH to win the Intercontinental Title and CM Punk would retain his title against Chris Jericho but in the Midwest, the big news was that “The Belt Collector” Jeremy Wyatt claims another title.

In a match that one 3XW fan stated was better than any of the four WRESTLEMANIA’S that he had attended, the 3XW Champion Mark Sterling seemed to have dominated the 60 minutes of furious brutal action. Yet, Wyatt would never give up and was able to show the heart of champion throughout the match as Sterling battered him from one side of the room to the other.

At the end of the night , in the final moments of the match, it would be Wyatt who would once again take claim as the 3XW Champion. This marks the third time that Wyatt has been the 3XW Champion and ending the reign of Sterling who had defeated Wyatt at December 30, 2011  at 3XW Holiday Havoc 3.

Wyatt who is currently #9 in the WORLD by PWI in the NWA rankings is also the NWA Central States Champion, the NWA Metro Pro Wrestling Champion and the High Voltage Wrestling Champion.
