Tensions has risen between Sean Vincent and the powerhouse The Big Texan recently and with the young stars like Dave Vaughn and Chris Hargas hot on the trail for his title, Powers will need each of his men to be focused if he is to retain his beloved title.

Does Steven J Girthy have Jeremy Wyatt poised to become the NWA Champion of the World on Nov 5th at Metro Pro Wrestling ?

Posted by flairwhoooooo on October 11, 2011

To many in the Midwest he is the most hated man in wrestling today; to his opponents he is their worst nightmare.

His name is Jeremy Wyatt; pro wrestling’s greatest secret , has wrestled one great match after another from Des Moines, Iowa to ST Louis, Missouri and in every town in Illinois and back in his hometown of Kansas City, Missouri.

In the past Wyatt has earned the nickname “The belt collector” for his ability to capture title after title in multiple promotions against the very best. Wyatt would become the first man to be named the MWR Wrestler of the Year and has won three consecutive matches of the years with three different opponents Michael Strider, Tyler Cook and Tyler Black respectably.

Wyatt has mixed it up with the top names in the sport including the current Ring of Honor World Champion Davey Richards, Former TNA World Champion Samoa Joe, the former ROH World Champion Jerry Lynn, Christopher Daniels, Jimmy Jacobs, Al Snow and Road Dogg Jesse James to name just a few.

Still al the wins, belts, awards and great matches have not brought Wyatt to the forefront of the wrestling world.

Is that about to change??

This past weekend the top wrestling manager in the Midwest Steven J Girthy set the wheels in motion at Metro Pro Wrestling to gain momentum to become the NWA World Champion. When It was announced that the former NWA World Heavyweight Champion Colt “Boom Boom” Cabana would be making his way to MPW, could the man that Cabana called “Porky Pig” of been masterfully setting his man up for a NWA World Title match against Adam Pearce?

While Cabana entertained the crowd from bell to bell with his masterful wrestling skills and silly antics, Wyatt And Girthy were at were at there very best and they had to be, Cabana has been to the top with WWE and as the NWA World Champion by defeating none other than Adam Pearce on March 6, 2011 at the NWA Championship Wrestling from Hollywood television tapings earlier this year.

Earlier this year the Belt Collector would become only the third man in the history of wrestling to capture the NWA Missouri Title and the NWA Central States Championship as the same time.  Harley Race and Bob Orton SR   being the other two men. Since that time, Wyatt has been able to keep the NWA Central States firmly on his waist against the likes of Sir Bradley Charles, Trent Stone, Jimmy Rockwell, Ryan Drago and arch rival NWA Kansas Champion Tyler Cook.

The greatest years in the NWA History has had the very best in the Midwest in the middle of the title hunt. Former 8 time World Champion Harley Race would bring honor, respectability and toughness not only to the NWA Title but to Japan and around the World.

With momentum on his side and the great mind of Girthy in his corner is the NWA World Title poised to change hands for the first time in Kansas City since Ric Flair defeated Dusty Rhodes on September 17th 1981 nearly thirty years ago?

With all the positives in this equation there is one huge problem for the Belt Collector.

NWA World Champion Adam Pearce!!!

Make no mistake about it, Adam Pearce is one of the top wrestlers in the world today. It is by no fluke that he is a four time NWA World champion who has sent many challengers packing who felt their time was now home wandering what if.

His resume speaks for itself. Titles around the country, victories against the likes of WWE’S CM Punk, Daniel Bryan ( Bryan Danielson), Delirious, Blue Demon Jr. In a true testament of his greatness Pearce was not only able to be a force in a four-way match between Chance Prophet and Jimmy Rave and Shaun Tampers for the vacant NWA World title on August 30th but would become a four time NWA World Champion.

Wyatt may have been great in the past but if he is to compete with Pearce then he cannot make one
mistake. If so the confident, ruthless NWA Kingpin will capitalize and remain the NWA World Champion.

When the last bell rang at the Turner Rec Center last week a stunned Colt Cabana and Metro Pro Wrestling fans watched as Wyatt and Steven J Girthy celebrated yet another win.

Metro Pro Wrestling has not announced who Pearce would defend the title against when he returns to on November 5th at the Turner Rec Center but if Girthy and Wyatt have their way then it could be the NWA Central States Champion vs. the NWA World Champion.

Could history be made on November 5tth and Jeremy Wyatt was able to add his most important belt to his collection? The NWA World Championship!!

Posted by flairwhoooooo on October 11, 2011

#####Press Release#####
For Immediate Release

October 22nd, 2011 will be another exciting night of wrestling put on by World League Wrestling! Harley Race, founder and CEO, has arranged for another professional wrestling show to return to Eldon, Missouri and this show will be unlike any other!

Each year, World League Wrestling and the Harley Race Wrestling Academy conducts an annual wrestling camp that hundreds of wrestlers have attended over the years. This camp is the only one of its kind due to the amount of media that it receives as well as the instructors who attend the camp itself.

In years past, instructors have included John Laurinaitis, Ricky Steamboat, Tom Pritchard, Takashi Suguira, Go Shiozaki, Takeshi Morishima, KENTA, Naomichi Marufuji, Kenta Kobashi, Ty Bailey, and many more.

This year’s camp will feature Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat, William Regal, Kevin Von Erich, and Harley Race along with representatives from Pro-Wrestling NOAH Ken Hirayama and Ryu Nakata.

After the week long instructional camp put on by these 4 legends in professional wrestling, World League Wrestling will be running a show on Saturday October 22nd. The show will take place at the Eldon High School gymnasium located at 101 South Pine Street in Eldon, MO.

The entire card has yet to be determined; however one match has been announced. Former WWE superstar Trevor Murdock and “Wild” Wade Chism will square off against “All That” Matt Murphy and “Superstar” Steve. These four competitors have been with WLW for years and have had spectacular matches against one another. This tag team feud will return one more time on October 22nd.

If the matches itself aren’t enough reason to attend the show, fans have the opportunity to meet the legends themselves. William Regal, Ricky Steamboat, Kevin Von Erich, and Harley Race will all be in attendance for the event at the Eldon High School gymnasium. Kevin Von Erich RARELY makes independent wrestling appearances due to his retirement. He has guaranteed that he will at the event in Eldon on Oct. 22nd and is looking forward to meeting the fans. With Regal and Steamboat both under W.W.E. contracts, they cannot make appearances like they will be doing on Oct. 22nd. But due to Harley’s outstanding working relationship with W.W.E., they are coming to Eldon to attend the “Night of the Superstars”. Along with the two legends attending, the 2008 King of the Ring and multi-time W.W.E champion William Regal WILL BE ACTIVELY COMPETING that night. This is unheard of, but again, due to Race’s exceptional relationship with W.W.E., Regal is able to compete that night.

BREAKING NEWS: OWNER/PROMOTER OF ALL AMERICAN PRO WRESTLING STEPS DOWN

Posted by flairwhoooooo on October 10, 2011

Fans have been able to get to know Chris Hagstrom as one of the voices for the exciting AAPW Collision TV show. Prior to the matches Chris has been active hyping up the shows to the fans of AAPW. (Photo Credit Brian Kelley)

Herrin, Ill. – Sean Chambers, Owner and Promoter of All American Pro Wrestling since its inception in October of 2006, has stated he is stepping down from his promoter position. AAPW Collision Executive Producer, Chris Hagstrom, will be taking over as event promoter.

Chambers made the announcement after the 5th Annual Benefit Show in Herrin, Ill. on October 8th. He states his personal and financial responsibilities are the reason for his decision. “Promoting wrestling events is a lot tougher than people think. It is very time consuming and there is financial risk. Lately, I have not had the time nor am I able to keep assuming the risk.” says Chambers.

In late 2010, Chambers also gave up booking responsibilities when he named “The Golden Boy” Greg Anthony as booker. He feels that by having others take on some of the responsibilities, such as booking and promoting, they bring new ideas and hopefully increase attendance at events which has dropped drastically in 2011.

Chambers will retain ownership of the promotion and will assist Hagstrom in the transition. “Chris has put so much time and effort into the production of Collision, said Chambers. “He is very enthusiastic about the product. Maybe by taking a step back, Chris’ enthusiasm will be contagious and will inspire me to once again take a more active role.”

“I’m excited for this new opportunity,” said Hagstrom. “It’s been a dream of mine to be a major part of a wrestling organization and this past year I have been living out that dream. I fully believe in the talent that we have and the evolution of All American Pro Wrestling. I hope to help continue making AAPW the best promotion in the region and help in its expansion.”

The next AAPW event will take place on Sunday October 23 at the Black Diamond Harley-Davidson Warehouse. Bell time is scheduled for 2pm. Tickets are available at Black Diamond Harley-Davidson or online at allamericanprowrestling.com.

Editor’s note: MWR would like to wish Sean Chambers the best as he moves forward in his life. On a personal level Chambers has been a friend of MWR ever since the debut of the site. We have all the respect in the world for Sean as he has always looked to bring the fans the best wrestling action for the fans in the Midwest. AAPW has worked diligently with fundraisers around the area while delivering great matches such as Edmund McGuire vs. Shane Rich and The Mississippi Madman’s feud with “The Rebel” Jeremy Wyatt.

On the other side of the coin we would like to wish Chris Hagstrom the very best in his new position. If Hagstrom’s work in the past as the AAPW Collision Executive Producer is any indication of what fans should expect then there is no doubt that AAPW will continue to be one of the top wrestling promotions in the Midwest for many years to come.

Dinner with the Legends 3- WWF “Attitude Era” and ECW legend Al Snow and wrestling icon, The Iron Sheik!

Posted by flairwhoooooo on October 10, 2011

Photobucket

ROSS ANTHONY PROMOTIONS continues to deliver some of the must attend events of 2011!!

This time he has out done himself by not giving you the fans a chance to have dinner with not only one wrestling superstar but two.

First up is the former WWF(WWE) Champion the Iron Sheik !!

The Iron Sheik is a one of a kind. Throughout his career he has done it all, a former4 bodyguard, an Olympic wrestler, an actor and the man who ended the near 6 year long reign of WWF World Champion Bob Backlund.

Though his title reign would be short, his title match with the one and only Hulk Hogan would be one of the most memorable matches in the history of the sport.

Let’s take a look back at that historic evening.

MWR Fans do not miss this rare opportunity to have dinner with one of the most entertaining, controversial and successful wrestlers of the 80’s.

For the fans who was fortunate to see the classic WWF cartoon of the 80’s Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling they would be sure to talk about the Iron Sheik who was one of the classic bad guys. Let’s look back at an episode featuring the one and only Bobby “The Brain” Heenan called Driving Me Crazy

It is truly amazing that Ross has been able to bring the master of the camel clutch to the Midwest and I have my seat reserved already to meet the one and only Iron Sheik.

Don’t go anywhere MWR fans there is more!!!

Photobucket

Ross has also brought former ECW, WWE and TNA star Al Snow to the dinner for you to meet as well. Snow is truly one of the most influential men in the sport in the past 20 years. Al Snow is capable of doing it all. Need an exciting hardcore match? He can deliver. Need an aerial show he can do that as well. Comedy? There are very few that can compare to Al Snow .

Fans let’s look back at a classic entrance for ECW as Al Snow comes out with “Head”. A moment in wrestling that I will never forget as Joey Styles calls the moment and the match had not even started!

Al Snow would feud with the Rock with good friend Cactus Jack/ Mic Foley in WWE. The two always have had great chemistry when they got together.

Don’t believe me? Let’s look back.

Don’t hesitate and get your reservations today!!

1380 sports talk radio’s Jeff Vernetti teams up with LMC to take on Max Archer and Waco

Posted by flairwhoooooo on October 9, 2011

By Herb Simmons

Action returns to the East Carondelet Community Center when the MMWA/SICW continues to bring the fans some of the greatest action in the Midwest. Last show during the television taping for Charter Cable the fans witnessed Champion Ron Powers battle Chris Harges, with Harges having his head put through the wall and a table being broke and after having his hands full with Harges Powers managed to survive. He later became outraged with wrestling book author, play by play announcer and the voice of Wrestling Explosion Larry Matysik due to his name not being included in Matysik’s new book, “The fifty great wrestlers of all time”.

After they exchanged words Powers agreed to a challenge by Matysik that if he could beat an opponent of Matysik’s choosing then he would but Powers name in the new book. Matysik called upon Dave Vaughn to battle with Powers with the stipulation Powers had to beat Vaughn in five minutes or less. Powers couldn’t get the job done and about three minutes into the match Powers henchmen, Sean Vincent and the Big Texan entered the ring just as Vaughn had the sleeper hold locked onto Powers. With Vincent and Texan interfering this called for a DQ of Powers. As you know there shortly after I signed Powers to meet Vaughn on October 15th for the CWC title.

Also on October 15th a special match was signed. The bright new Star LMC came to the aid of ring announcer Jeff Vernetti who is a local DJ on 1380 sports talk radio in St. Louis when Max Archer and Waco attacked Vernetti for not interviewing them. I signed a match featuring LMC & Vernetti taking on Archer and Waco in a special tag match. All the 1380 sports talk radio fans will be coming out to support Jeff and LMC.

There will be five other outstanding matches to round out the television taping. For tickets or special group rates fans can call 618-286-4848.

Look forward to seeing you there.
