10 years. 10 YEARS! That is a long time! PWP Live is celebrating 10 years of Live Professional Wrestling, and it’s all thanks to our great fans! And we have something special for our fans, on May 23rd we proudly present the 10th Anniversary Spectacular!
We have OVERLOADED this event with tons of amazing matches, and so much more! We plan on having one of our most memorable events of all time, so tell your friends and family, and let’s have some fun! There’s a lot going on, let’s check it out!
SCOTTY 2 HOTTY Vs. Joey Daniels w/ “Manager Supreme” Axel Greece
We LOVE bringing superstars to PWP Live, and who better than former two time WWE Tag Team Champion SCOTTY 2 HOTTY! Part of the memorable Attitude Era tag team TOO COOL, Scotty makes his way to Council Bluffs on May 23rd to square off with The Greece Pit’s Joey Daniels! Joey and his “Manager Supreme” Axel Greece have been running their mouths ever since this match was announced. Joey says everywhere he goes, fans keep yelling “Joey’s Stupid” at him and he has had enough. He said he plans to take out his anger on Scotty 2 Hotty! But can Joey succeed, or is there a WORM in his future? Be there May 23rd to find out!
PWP Championship Triple Threat Match:
Abu Colossus Vs. “Babyface” Tony Cortez Vs. Darren “Thunder” Russell
Abu Colossus has been terrorizing PWP ever since he turned his back on Hype Gotti last year. After winning the PWP Championship in January, Tony Cortez has been, as he puts it “a thorn in his side”. In April Abu was disqualified when hitting Cortez in the head with the Championship belt. Cortez then challenged him to a NO DQ match on May 23rd. The match was set, two PWP originals set to do battle over the coveted title. However, Darren “Thunder” Russell, the man who Abu defeated for the Championship in January, sent a video to PWP explaining why he should also be in the match. Russell never had a re-match, he was busy dealing with Chainsaw King. After defeating King in a brutal Dog Collar Match in April, Russell is ready for his re-match, and the Triple Threat match will go down at the 10th Anniversary Spectacular! Can Abu retain the title and continue his dominance in PWP? Or will “Babyface” become a 3 time PWP Champion? Or, as Russell said in his video, will a new decade begin in PWP, the “Decade of Thunder”, as Russell becomes a 2 time PWP Champion? Don’t miss this PWP Championship match!
PWP Tag Team Championship Ladder Match:
Jeremy Wyatt & Mark Sterling Vs. “Simply the Best” Hype Gotti & “Babyface” Tony Cortez
Jeremy Wyatt & Mark Sterling returned to PWP just a little over a year ago. Since then, they have absolutely dominated the Tag Team Division. Wyatt & Sterling were able to destroy almost every team they came across over the last year. One team they can’t keep down however, is Hype Gotti & Tony Cortez, “Simply the Best”. Simply the Best won the very first main event in PWP history way back in 2005, and now they have a chance to become 2 time PWP Tag Team Champions. With the Championship suspended high above the ring, the only way to win is to climb a ladder and grab the titles. Hype Gotti returns to action for the first time since January. He had been taking time off to heal after a brutal match with Abu Colossus. Now he enters a dangerous ladder match. While dangerous, the Ladder Match is always an exhilarating bout. But Tony Cortez has two Championship matches on May 23rd. If injured during this match, it greatly decreases his chances in the PWP Championship match later in the night. But playing it safe may ensure victory for Wyatt & Sterling. Wyatt & Sterling may ensure victory anyway, as they are known to break the rules, and in a Ladder Match, there are no rules! One thing is for sure, this match will not disappoint! Don’t miss out on Ladder Match action on May 23rd!
PWP Rising Phoenix Championship Tournament Finals:
“Simply Ravishing” Ryan Slade Vs. L-Ray w/ “Manager Supreme” Axel Greece
In March we began a tournament to crown the first ever PWP RISING PHOENIX CHAMPION. It has come down to two men, L-Ray of The Greece Pit, and Ryan Slade. Slade is a former PWP Champion and PWP Tag Team Champion. L-Ray has never held a championship in PWP. Axel Greece has led men to championships in the past however, and that’s exactly what they play to do on May 23rd. Slade has the opportunity to become the first ever PWP TRIPLE CROWN CHAMPION, but he has to strategize and find a way to beat the numbers game that often ends up with a Greece Pit victory. 3 months of tournament action all comes to a head on Saturday May 23rd! Be there to witness the first ever PWP Rising Phoenix Champion be crowned!
10 Year Anniversary Match:
“The Passion” Zac James Vs. Chris Havius
Once “The Passion” Zac James heard about the tournament to crown the first ever Rising Phoenix Champion, he immediately had a renewed vision in PWP. Disappointingly, he was defeated in a Semi-Final match in April. A little later during the event, Chris Havius came out to thank the fans for 10 years of PWP Live action. He then turned his attention to Zac. Chris explained how these two men are good friends in and out of the ring and have been for over 10 years now. Chris then challenged Zac to a match on May 23rd, mentioning that it was only fitting since they wrestled each other on the very first PWP Live event in 2005. Zac was quick to agree, however after a slap on the face, he told Chris that he is coming for a win at the 10th Anniversary Spectacular. Despite the aggression, Havius held it together in the ring, and the men shook hands. Regardless of the handshake, if you were there, you saw the tension between the two men, and you could tell that on May 23rd, these two will be giving it their all to find out which of them is the best. Don’t miss out on the history and rich tradition of PWP represented in this match on May 23rd!

Takaaki Watanabe has wrestled several of the top young stars around the world in the ring for top promotions New Japan, Pro Wrestling Noah and Ring of Honor and now fans can get a rare opportunity to see him live in the Midwest this Sunday in Cahokia, Illinois. This past weekend he wrestled in Canada, for ROH, and has his eyes set on the High Risk Wrestling Championship with the announcement that he will now meet Blake Edward Belakis in a number one contenders match that will be happen that very night.
The last time fans saw Watanabe was for St. Louis Anarchy when he collided in an epic matchup against SLA Champion Gary Jay. Since then Watanabe has improved his skills wrestling the likes of ROH TV Champion Jay Lethal, Mark Briscoe, Michael Elgin, and Christopher Daniels. With his tour of America, Watanabe is hoping to add the HRW Gold to his resume.
From the promoter of High Risk Wrestling- Frank Thurman
I have been informed that ACH will not be able to be in attendance on May 24th due to his recent booking in Mexico.
We here at HRW would like to thank ACH for being our Champion and for giving our fans the kind of Wrestling they deserve from their Champion.
After much thought it has been decided that since ACH is in such high demand around the World and will probably only become even more in demand in the future, that it would be best for everyone involved for ACH to vacate the HRW High Risk Championship.
You will still get a HRW Championship match on May 24th.
Since Louis Lyndon has already earned a Title shot by winning his No. 1 contenders match in April, he will automatically be in the Main Event as advertised.
His opponent will be decided by the already advertised No. 1 Contenders Match.
The winner of Takaaki Watanabe VS Blake Edward Belakis will advance to the Main Event to get their Title shot that very day.
The Winner of The Main Event will become the NEW HRW High Risk Champion!
As a bonus, we have decided to add yet another match to this already loaded line up.
Two the the fastest rising stars in the St. Louis area will collide in what is sure to be the definition of High Risk Wrestling!
Justin D’air VS Keon Option
Be sure to not miss your chance to see a New Champion Crowned and be a part of History in the making!
High Risk Wrestling Presents “Hall of the Mountain King” on Sunday afternoon May 24th in Cahokia, IL. with a matinee start time of 3:00PM Doors and 4:00Pm Bell time.

From the office of Proving Ground Pro
Proving Ground Pro was thrown into chaos by our own Franchise champion, Blake Edward Belakis, leaving us with more questions than answers. Entering his title match in March he was PGP stalwart Blake Steel, an extremely talented performer in the Proving Ground since day one( and our 1st Cutting Edge champion). Sometime prior to or during that match something changed quite radically as we witnessed Steel utilize a low blow and a railroad spike to capture the Franchise title before quickly exiting the building with no explanation. Since then a video released by Blake on his own page revealed some answers including the shedding of the name Steel(alluding to the fact he felt Steel was a cheap and cheesy wrestling gimmick moniker) and bringing his given name to the forefront, enter Blake Edward Belakis. His first act as new Franchise champion was to refuse Dirden’s rematch and skip out on PGP completely to wrestle in Florida for Full Impact Pro last month. Facing a mandatory rematch Blake will return to the Proving Ground(May 23rd at Roots Event Center, Petersburg,IL) for his first battle as the champion versus “Dirdey” Jake Dirden. There is no predicting what to expect from our current champ, but no prediction is needed to know what former Franchise champion “Dirdey” Jake Dirden has in mind, RETRIBUTION and REVENGE. After the duplicitous actions of Blake cost Dirden both the Franchise title and the use of one eye for over 2 months( and nearly permanently), you can expect anger fueled fury and VIOLENCE!!! Any feud brewing this hot is a sure winner for the fans, absolutely anything could happen in this clash of titans so don’t you dare miss this show!!!
Seriously…LIVING PROOF just keeps getting better….This show is a mind blower…LOOK AT THIS CARD….
Perry Winkle, Randy Ray & Guy Smith vs Chris Jones, Ovirload & Peter Schwanz is added to
Franchise champ Blake Belakis vs “Dirdey” Jake Dirden
Cutting Edge champ Mario Crivello vs Jock Samson
Lucy Mendez vs Stacy Shadows
“Omaha Chainsaw” Stephen King & Nate Redwing vs Mr. Nice & Mike Outlaw
Conard vs Wilkins vs Krotch
Guns and Beer vs Taylor, Connors & Adams
Kunai the Silent Warrior vs Johnny Wisdom
A freakin’ amazing bad ass indy dream cool show!!! Keep your ear to the Proving Ground, LIVING PROOF is set to keep getting better, We still have a Tag Team championship match to announce(Team IOU vs ?) plus other surprises..
Roots Event Center(14305 State Hwy 97, Petersburg,IL) is a destination for independent wrestling fans on 5-23, LIVING PROOF is exactly what it says, living proof that PGP wrestling is your best bet for the coolest, hippest wrestling in Central Illinois. Already slated are Franchise champion Blake Belakis vs Jake Dirden, Cutting Edge champion Mario Crivello vs Jock Samson, King & Redwing vs Nice & Outlaw plus Team IOU(Nick Iggy and Kerry Awful) in the house with Tag titles on the line! Shows like this are not to be missed, and only $10($5 for kids) makes it possible to see every single match!!! Doors open at 6:30pm and LIVING PROOF starts at 7pm. To be clear, Roots Event Center is about 2 miles south of Petersburg,IL, just south of New Salem State Historic Site near the intersection of Boy Scout Road and State Hwy 97, across the road from Menard Electric and Athens State Bank. There’s one easy way to remember why classic professional wrestling is such great entertainment……ENTER THE PROVING GROUND!!!

Editors Note: It was with great pleasure that I received the information that PWP in Council Bluffs, Iowa was preparing to launch their first ever PWP Hall of fame inductees. I will admit that the first man to be inducted is a dear personal friend of mine, Gary Giaffoglione. Gary has been the official PWP photographer for the past 10 years capturing the awesome action in the ring, as well as offering his talents to the wrestlers for promo shots. posters and so much more.
It is no secret to anyone that I cherish the friendships that we have made with MWR in the lovely state of Iowa. Gary, was one of those that I quickly became friends with on that first trip to PWP. In those early years, Gary was instrumental in helping me discover how to properly use a camera, as we also shared stories of our families and life in general.
People may question, why put a man in that just takes a photo? In this crazy world of pro wrestling, you will find that when the good times are happening, everyone is there for you. Yet, to find someone that will be there for you when the times are not so bright, then you have a true friend. During my years at MWR, I have found that to be true at every promotion I have covered, at times they had huge crowds, other times there may have been less than 20 paid in the house. Regardless of the size of the crowd, Gary has been a positive influence within PWP, offering his talents, as well as top notch equipment, while sharing that wonderful smile and attitude around the ring for the past 10 years.
In my mind, he is one of the best photographers in the country. Congrats Gary.
The second man to be entered into the Hall of Fame, is another man that is well deserved of this achievement is none other than “Baby Face” Tony Cortez. Cortez has thrilled fans in the ring with his charismatic personality and never say die attitude. It has always been a pleasure covering him in the ring as a photographer, because of his ability to sell with some great expressions. At Pro Wrestling Phoenix he has been a rock, capturing tag team gold and PWP Heavyweight Championship in the past. In the past he has always been great to work with and one of the top guys on on the mic. In fact one of his promos that he did for MWR with his partner Hype Gotti happen to be among my favorites that we ever did for the site as well as one of the very first MWR promos we ever did in 2008.
Congrats to Cortez for this much deserved honor.
From the offices of PWP
Ok fans, here we go – it’s time to announce the 2 individuals who will be inducted into the very 1st PWP Hall of Fame class, on Saturday May 23rd!!
First, one of the hardest working, most loyal, unsung heroes in PWP history. “MR. G” – GARY GIAFFOGLIONE. When we decided to create a Hall of Fame, it was agreed that we would not only honor competitors, but those who have helped make PWP what it is over the last 10 years. Gary is one of those people. He is much more than just an incredible photographer – he’s a beloved member of the PWP family, and nobody deserves this honor more.
Secondly, one of the most decorated, talented, and successful stars in PWP history.
“BABYFACE” TONY CORTEZ!! Tony held the PWP Championship for more than THREE YEARS, combined over 2 reigns. A former PWP Tag Team Champion as well – nobody encompasses the word “champion” more in PWP history than Tony Cortez. As we head to the 10th Anniversary Spectacular on May 23rd – Cortez has shots at both the PWP Championship and Tag Team Championship once again. In theory, Cortez could leave on May 23rd as PWP Champion, 1/2 of the PWP Tag Team Champions, and PWP Hall of Famer! Cortez will be inducted into the Hall of Fame by his long time partner, HYPE GOTTI.
The 2015 PWP Hall of Fame inductions will be exclusive to VIP ticket holders.
