I would like to introduce myself to those who do not know me. My name is Brian Kelley, and I am living a dream working with Missouri Wrestling Revival. I was hooked the moment I saw All Star Wrestling that included stars such as Harley Race, Bulldog Bob Brown and Rufus R Jones. When Ric Flair came on my screen to do a promo the addiction to the sport was cemented. I truly love pro wrestling and feel honored to be a small part of the sport today.
In the very short time that the site has been in existence I have met fellow fans, wrestlers, referees, photographers as well as promoters that I hope will remain friends even if they are not part of the business.
Through the past year my soul mate Dubray and I have made our way to over 30 wrestling shows, in the Midwest. With the closest shows being 3 hours from us, that is something of which I am very proud of. I support all types of pro wrestling, old school, new school, hardcore, just as long as it respects the business and the fans.
While MWR owner and one of my best friends Josh Ray is overseas serving our country, I will do my best to keep the site up and going till he comes back. I am proud to be working beside the very talented Kari Williams, a young lady whose writing skills far outweigh mine. Peter Hahn and Kenneth Scott, the St Louis Wrestling Community along with the voting staff for the MWR awards provide invaluable contributions to the site.
This past year has seen some exciting coverage from MWR that has included the MWR 100, the monthly awards, as well as the Josh Ray’s fresh take on the rankings system for the Missouri Wrestling Revival cup. MWR T-shirts have been made, with the hopes of getting the name of the website out there so the fans can know of a place to come to find out about organizations and wrestlers in the Midwest.
Recaps of shows are one of my favorites here at MWR, not only do you get to see the results, you are able to know the story behind the feuds. MWR Spotlights gives the readers and me a chance to know who to look out for and how they got here.
I am thrilled that we have teamed up with 3XW and PWP for the Future release of the MWR “Best of the Midwest” series to be put on DVD. With matches that have included Tyler Cook vs. Shane Hollister and The LONRS vs. The Northstar Express the release is sure to live up to the billing of the Best of the Midwest. We hope to work with other organizations to feature their respected companies and wrestlers in 2009.
On a personal note, I am a single parent of a teenage son, who is my number one priority. Surprisingly enough, he has no interest in pro wrestling but I believe we have to each find our happiness. Josh is a great son, who is on the A + program, a Varsity football player that won his schools defensive player of the year as well as a member of Drama. I am also blessed in the fact that I have wonderful family in my life, two basset hounds and a girl who can handle my obsession with pro wrestling.
To everyone that has supported us in the past year, a thank you just isn’t enough. For those who have kept their distance or may have had doubts, we believe in the old saying ” Respect is not given it is earned”. We will continue to work hard and look to earn your respect.
I hope that everyone has patience with me as I try to fill the very talented shoes of Josh Ray. I have a lot to learn about working the site, but I am passionate about it so I will give a 100 percent. If you ever have any questions, comments, complaints or suggestions on how we can improve the site then please let me know.
Sincerely
Brian “Flair” Kelley

October Wrestler of the Month
Jeremy Wyatt [ PWP] [LWA] [3XW]
No wrestler in the Midwest is as hot as Jeremy “The Rebel” Wyatt. On October 17th at 3XW he earned the right to be the number one contender to the 3xw Pure Championship title held by Tyler Cook by defeating former Pure Champion Maddog McDowell and international star Arik Cannon.
A week later he returned to LWA where he cashed in his Medallion to LWA President Luke Roberts before Roberts could declare the LWA title strip the injured Jordan Lacey of the belt. Since Lacey could not defend the belt, Roberts had no other choice but to give the Rebel the title. Wyatt never one to walk away from a fight successfully defended the belt that night in another three way, this time with KC Karrington and once again Arik Cannon.
Less than 24 hours, Wyatt made his way to Pro Wrestling Phoenix to take on the mammoth Abu Colossus for the PWP Championship. Wyatt was able to defeat one of the most impressive big men in the Midwest to become the new PWP Champion. It is only fitting that Jeremy Wyatt wins once again in October.

Kansas Wrestling fans have been patiently waiting for wrestling to return. They will be rewarded November 29th, when NWA Midwest presents Dynamo Pro Wrestling in Pomona, Kansas. Fans will have a chance to see some of the best athletes that Kansas City has to offer, as well as top wrestlers around the Midwest.
NWA Kansas Champion #1 Brett Young vs. Tyler Cook
The main event will feature one of the most charismatic wrestlers with Brett Young defending his title against Tyler Cook. What will be Young’s strategy will be anyone’s guess as he draws on his years of experience. That advantage has helped him win the Championship when he defeated Tony Cortez, Hype Gotti, Jeremy Wyatt, Jaysin Strife and Darrien Sanders in an elimination match in March before taking the title from Mark Sterling that very night.
On the other side of the ring will be Tyler Cook. In the absence of Kansas wrestling he has been in Missouri, Illinois and Iowa working hard and improving his game. The NWA has taken notice and rewarded him with a dream opportunity to come back home and win the Kansas Championship. Cook will have to use his youth and speed to reach that goal. Many have dubbed Cook as the future of Midwest wrestling, has his time come this soon?
The LONRS vs. The Ego Express
Kansas fans are very aware of the tactics and talent of both Mark Sterling and Darrien Sanders, but for the very first time they will see them collectivity as the LONRS. They have quickly become one of the most talked about tag teams in the Midwest. With mind games and quick tags they keep their opponents guessing, with that moment of uncertainty Sanders can strike with a vicious kick and end it quickly.
Though the Ego Express are not household names in the Kansas area, let it be known that after this match they will not be forgotten. Spoiled Steven Kennedy and KC Karrington are arguably the best tag team in St Louis. Exciting, fast and electrifying you can never turn your head because you never know what you will miss when these two hit the ring.
If you are a fan of tag team wrestling then this match is for you!
NWA Missouri Champion Dingo vs. Jeremy “The Rebel” Wyatt
These two had a classic in August in St Louis that had the Kansas native within seconds of becoming the Missouri Champion. When the smoke cleared from the battle of the two best wrestlers in the Midwest, Dingo had retained the title when he defeated Wyatt with a moonsault press. Out of respect Dingo offered a handshake after the match, but Wyatt delivered a cheapshot then proceeded to land a vicious hammerlock DDT and left the Champion knocked out to end of the evening.
Though Wyatt may be in his hometown, Dingo is loved and respected from the Kansas fans. Dingo is the Ric Flair of the Midwest, in the respect that you can always count on him for a great match, Wyatt this year has reached that plateau as well.
Will Dingo be able to get revenge or will Wyatt even the score on one of the few men that has been able to pin the Rebel in O8?
Like you would need anymore reason to join us In Kansas!!
NWA Dynamo Pro Wrestling delivers with special guest Ring of Honor Superstar Davey Richards. Richards is one of the top talents around the world. Known for his powerful strikes, intensity in every match he is in, you will be glad you got to see him in action.
Also signed:
Shorty Biggs vs Billy McNeil
Davey Vega vs Mike Sydal vs Kraig Keesman vs Adam Rich vs Domino Rivera vs Brandon Espinosa
Fan appreciation

Hype Gotti and Tony Cortez, are the tag team known as “Simply the Best”. The two have more charisma than the whole locker room where they are booked. On a night before a Pro Wrestling Phoenix Show, they enlightened me with their thoughts on Missouri Wrestling Revival and at the time the Election between John McCain and Barack Obama.
When the former Pro Wrestling Phoenix Champion Abu Colossus, enters the room, Simply the Best has to use their quick wit to live another day.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the most underrated tag team in the Midwest- Simply the Best.
[Note: The views and opinions are of Simply the Best and do not represent those of the MWR staff. ]
Simply the Best will be in action this Friday, November 21, in a triple threat match for the PWP tag team titles with PWP Tag team champions the Northstar Express and the Jaysin Strife and Vic Victory. For more information go Pro Wrestling Phoenix

The Northstar Express after winning the PWP Tag Team Titles
By Brian “Flair” Kelley
Photo Credits: Gary Giaffoglione
When two of the best tag teams of the Midwest hook up, the expectations for a great match is very high. On October 25th, at Pro Wrestling Phoenix the stakes were amplified. Adding on the fact that it would be for the PWP Tag team titles, as well as the spotlight of being a part of the Missouri Wrestling Revival “Best of the Midwest” DVD series.
After the dust settled between the defending Champions The LONRS (Mark Sterling and Darrin Sanders) and The Northstar Express (Ryan Cruz and Darin Corbin) the titles had changed and history had been made.
These two teams collided in a dream match that lived up to the hype and more. The action went back and forth between the two bitter enemies. The LONRS brought their “A” game and at moments looked to have the match well at hand. The Northstar to their credit withstood an early onslaught, as Sanders hit some killer kicks and Sterling nearly had the rare submission in tag team action with his “Markshooter” Sharpshooter. In the end the LONRS suffered a heartbreaking loss, but knew that they had been a part of something special. They showed respect to the Northstar Express by shaking their hands after the match but you know that they will look to regain the titles in the near future.
The bar has been set very high for others that will be a part of the MWR Best of the Midwest series thanks in part to the LONRS and the Northstar Express. The dream to help promote Independent Midwest wrestling around the world has started off in the right direction with this phenomenal match up.
I would like to thank Pro Wrestling Phoenix, the LONRS and the Northstar Express for letting MWR be a part of such an exciting event. We wish everyone involved the best and look forward to seeing them in action again very soon.
I hope that you look forward in the future for more MWR Sponsored “Best of the Midwest” matches in an independent wrestling show near you.
The Superstars of tomorrow are in the Midwest today!!
MWR would also like to congratulate Jeremy “The Rebel” Wyatt for becoming the PWP Heavyweight Champion. Wyatt was able to win the belt in the main event from the very dominating Abu Colossus in an epic battle.

The new promoter on the block, TNT Kenny G and his promotion High Voltage Wrestling were to have their first show on Saturday October 4th. Many people thought that he should not be running in the venue that he was in ( Granite IL ), because other promotions such as LWA, FTW, and FIST have run there prior to HVW. One reasoning was “Because you’re Lazy” and when he posted a message on the St Louis Wrestling Community Board, asking local talent to contact him to do be a part of a show, many had a reason to be cautious of High Voltage Wrestling.
A couple of weeks prior to the show TNT Kenny G posted on the message board that Brandon Espinosa (I like him) DaCobra (I have wanted to see him) were to be on the show so he had my attention, but with the Missouri/ Nebraska football game on prime time and Kimbo (14 seconds of fame) Slice was to fight UFC Legend Ken Shamrock, I wanted to save money and stay home and watch TV for once. Then he had to do it, he posted that Spoiled Steven Kennedy (One of my favorites) Cecil Cerveza (I have wanted to see) Mephisto along with Gary the Barn Owl taking on his rival Pierre Abernathy. I just couldn’t’t resist the temptation of a night of wrestling that promised a little bit of everything. So with the goal to convince my girlfriend to go, I explain to her that “The Future” Donovan Ruddick was involved in the main event. The Future is one of her favorites so she was on board for another wrestling trip.
The first thing that I noticed as I paid for our tickets was that the employees, ticket taker, security and concession booth were all supporting a High Voltage Wrestling T-shirt, they had two different styles Red and Yellow or Black and yellow. That made this new promotion look very legit, and organized and I had not even made it to my seat yet.
We sat in the front row so that I could get the best pictures possible and were grateful that they didn’t have a ring rail. Some promotions have and some don’t. I have grown fond of not having something in front of me. There would be times in the night that we had to flee from our chairs due to the action coming our way. Do you need to ask why I love Indy wrestling?
We have made many friends going to shows, so I made my rounds and said hello to one fellow wrestling fan, Patrick Brandemeyer, who is also a comedian and had been offering cookies to whoever comes and sees him perform at the Westport Funny Bone. I gave him a hard time by asking him if the cookies would be fresh baked before heading back to my seat.
High Voltage Wrestling’s very first wrestling match was an exciting bout between DaCobra and Jon Divosi. DaCobra is a star in the making with lighting quick moves and devastating kicks. Divosi to his credit was able to get hit from every direction. Divosi must have felt he had a win with a modified side effect off the second rope but DaCobra just barely kicked out. DaCobra was able to catch a second wind, went to the top rope and hit one of the most exciting moves I have ever seen live – The 630 Splash!!! You may think I am lying but I was so excited that I forgot to cheer as the ref counted to three. I turned to my girlfriend and said “I would hate to be the wrestler that had to follow that match”.
DaCobra is set to hit the amazing 630 splash.
The second match would be a tag team match as the team of Bandana Mafia (Evan Gelistico and Davey Vega) taking on Steven Kennedy and Rick Stone. While the ref did a search for weapons he found many hidden Bandanas hidden in the ring attire of the Mafias. To the best of my knowledge the match between the two teams were the first time they had been together. The Mafia really took it to Stone, all the while getting under Kennedy’s skin as Kennedy frequently entered the ring without being tagged. This prompted the ref Eric Davis to spend energy and time on getting him out the ring. With the refs back turned, the Mafia, at one moment used a bandanna to choke Stone. The confusion played into their favor as the team of Stone and Kennedy never got off the ground and with a cheap shot from Gelistico would seal the win for the Mafia.
The Promoter of HVW, Kenny G came out to the ring to thank the fans for coming and being a part of their grand opening. Out came Kris Synz, who stated that he was in fact a three time Hardcore Champion and was appalled that he was not a part of High Voltage Wrestling’s night of wrestling. Synz made the mistake of getting in the face of Kenny, and Kenny made quick work of the former hardcore champion with a flying kick using a baking pan on top of him in the corner. Kenny just got his breath when Mephisto came out from the back to tell Kenny that he had just disposed of a never was and that if he ever wanted to get in a real hardcore wrestlers face to step up. Kenny did not hesitate to go at Mephisto and a match was started. Though the bell was rung these two men went at it outside almost as soon as it started, which prompted a double count out.
A familiar feud was rekindled when Gary the Barn Owl defended his ACW U-30 belt against the European scumbag Pierre Abernathy. The action was back and forth throughout the match. At one time Pierre pounded Gary in the corner unmercifully and looked to have a chance to win the title but Gary persevered in the end with a flying flat liner and was able to get the win and retain the title.
Pierre Abernathy steps on Gary the Barn Owl in the corner.
It was time for the intermission and I went do some work for the site and lost track of time, which led me to miss the first match to my disappointment. The Hybrids (Jason Lyte & Donovan Cain) defeated the tag team of Cecil Cerveza & D’Andre King.
Brandon Espinosa used his speed to keep Adam Evans off of his game in the first round of the HVW Heavyweight tournament.
I came back in time to see the co –main event between Adam Evans accompanied by the Magic Man taking Brandon Espinosa in the tournament to decide the first round for the HVW Heavyweight title. Adam Evans has the look to go far in the sport, and though I respect Espinsoa, I gave him very little chance winning this with the odds so stacked against him. Evans himself seemed to take his opponent lightly and taunted him by relaxing on the top rope after taking him to school. Espy has improved so much in this year alone, that he can not be overlooked. Evans seem to have the match in hand but still the Magic Man could not resist interfering by trying to throw fire at Espy, but this backfired and burned his own man which allowed the upset to happen. Espy will take on the winner of the “The Future” Donovan Ruddick and Bobby Danger at next months show.
Donovan Ruddick overpowers Bobby Danger early in the match.
Bobby Danger is not a small guy by no means, but he was facing one of the most powerful men in the Midwest . Danger, to his credit brought everything he had and knew that in this match he would have to use his speed to get the edge over the Future. It looked to pay off with a corkscrew plancha to almost move on in the tournament, but when Danger went and hit a flying body cross the Future rolled with it, powered him up into the Razors edge into a monster slam and within a moment we had out second contestant in the tournament to become the HVW Heavyweight Champion.
Espy with a renewed confidence came out to the ring to confront the man who he will take on November 22 when HVW Presents Fuel for Fire again at Granite City . The Future and Espy could not wait till November and the fists were flying. The locker room attempted to separate the two men outside the ring. Bobby Danger excited the crowd with a plancha outside the ring on top of all the wrestlers. Bodies were lying onto the floor when Promoter Kenny G stated that next month the man KAHAGAS would be in action and for them.
TNT Kenny G blows a fuse after the pandemonium that ensued after the main event.
High Voltage Wrestling’s first show was well planned by the promoter Kenny G. He showed class by inviting the local talent to come and introduce themselves at the show. This show had some St Louis flavor to it and with some outside talent he was able to add freshness to their first show. The matches were well booked and in turn, the wrestlers gave the fans a great show.
Their next show on November 22 at Granite City IL , will have
Brandon Espinosa challenging “The Future”, Donovon Ruddick to see who will hold the right to be called the first High Voltage Wrestling Mid-West Heavyweight Champion.
“The Future” Donovan Ruddick goes for the HVW Title on November 22
Kahagas has taken on some of the wrestling’s best, When he enters the Midwest, he looks to bring the pain to MWR #1 ranked wrestler Jeremy “The Rebel” Wyatt.

"Homicidal" Steven Davis
By Brian “Flair” Kelley
Steven Davis is the John Wayne of the Missouri Wrestling Revival coverage area. He is a man that commands respect with his actions and not with his words. Davis lives up to his nickname “Homicidal”, as he terrorizes fan favorites such as Chocolate Thunder and “Serial Thriller” Shane Rich.
Trained by the late Bud Chaplin, Davis is a ten year veteran of the sport. He has the skills and tenacity to work with all types of wrestling from old school, new school, technical, brawling and highflying. His matches in All American Pro Wrestling with Rich are sure to be make them a candidate for feud of the year in 2008.
When I first saw Davis live in action this year, it was in Chester, IL. He was trying to regain the AAPW wrestling championship from Rich. He had the crowd upset throughout the whole match. The fans booed Davis and then booed him some more, but he would not be denied and once again regained the title in a stellar match.
When I left the building that night, I knew down the road I wanted to not only see this guy more in action, but also wanted to do my best to let others know of the talent that he possesses. I can hype the guy with words and my opinions but more telling is what his peers have to say about them.
Edmund “Livewire” McGuire, who was trained by Davis said in an interview earlier this year at MWR, “I am grateful for all of the knowledge and time these (Davis and Donnie Sixx) gentlemen put into training me and molding me into who I am today.”
Promoter Sean Chambers said, “Steven Davis can hang with any one; he has the ability to make almost anyone look good.”
George the Animal the 3rd added, “I have known Steven Davis for the past 7 years and he is one of the top guys that I have worked with in my 16 years in and out of the ring. He commands respect wherever he goes. Davis puts everything into the matches that he is a part of. He is a rare commodity in the fact that he knows what he is doing and makes others look good.”
Davis is currently working with IWA Productions as a instructor. Every Wednesday at 7 P.M. in Olney, IL you can check out a free wrestling show that has a full mix of seasoned veterans working with the future of Pro wrestling. The owner of IWA Productions John Bach stated that he is blessed to have Davis as a part of the company. Bach also added that Davis is a true asset to not only the company but to the Independent scene in the Midwest.
In the sport of wrestling, you are sometimes expected to bring the best out of your opponent. tThere are very few that understand this and even less that are able to achieve it, but Davis is one of the few that understands and executes well, day in and day out. He is a leader in the locker room, a main event wrestler and one of the most respected men in the Midwest.
