They have been three times the AAPW and are currently the IWAP tag team champs Their opponents have to deal with the power of the Mississippi Madman and the speed of KC Jackson. The Jam Boyz cause fits for their opponents throughout the match with that difficult combination. This team could very well be higher if the Madman was not such a threat in singles competition winning both the AAPW and PWE titles.
As AAPW moves into the fall they will be featured on ABC affiliate WSIL-TV 3 starting off with a match between Shane Rich and Greg Anthony .
Is a fourth title AAPW title reign in the Money Makin Jam Boyz future ?

Saturday, August 20th at the Brandon Burlsworth Youth Center in Harrison, Arkansas, Mid-States Wrestling presents its first ever “Legends of Wrestling” event.
In the main event, Heavyweight Champion Michael Barry defends the title against World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Famer, and current “Monday Night RAW” broadcaster Jerry “The King” Lawler. Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, Jerry Lawler got his start in pro wrestling in 1970 and is a legend, holding over 160 titles in his illustrious career, including the American Wrestling Association World Heavyweight Title. Michael Barry, has held the Mid-States Wrestling Heavyweight Title 4 times, more than anyone else in the company’s 8 year existence. This will be Barry’s biggest challenge of his title reign, and possibly his career.
In other matches, “White Trash” Gary Gram takes on the homicidal, suicidal, and genocidal Sabu. Gary Gram can be somewhat unpredictable in his matches, but is he ready for a wrestler the likes of Sabu. More importantly, is Harrison and the state of Arkansas ready for a wrestler the likes of Sabu?
Other legends scheduled to appear include Hacksaw Butch Reed and Beautiful Bobby Eaton.
In addition to being a former Mid-States Wrestling Heavyweight Champion, Butch Reed has held titles all around the country including in Mid-South Wrestling where he held the North American Title twice, the Television Title, and the Tag Team Titles (with Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart), In the National Wrestling Alliance, Reed was also a multiple title holder winning the Central States Tag Team Titles (with Jerry Brown), the International Title, the North American Tag Team Titles (with “Sweet Brown Sugar” Skip Young) and the World Tag Team Titles (with Ron Simmons).
Beautiful Bobby Eaton is probably best known for his days as a member of The Midnight Express. His partnership in that group with Dennis Condrey and later Stan Lane produced 2 NWA World Tag Team Titles, 3 NWA United States Tag Team Titles, Mid-South Tag Team Titles, and numerous regional tag team titles. In all, Eaton has held 31 tag team titles with 15 different partners. Arguably, he is the definition of a “tag team specialist”. But he has also held 19 singles titles in his career including the WCW Television Title.
In addition to these legends, all your favorite Mid-States Wrestling superstars will be action including Independent Wrestling International Champion Darling Dustin Heritage, Southern Tag Team Champions Jim Fallon & Doomsday (with Stephen E), “The Space Cowboy” Jason Jones, SLUGG, and many, many more.
Tickets are on sale now at Extreme Muffler and Music Games & More in Harrison, on eBay, or at the door. Bell Time is 7:30pm.
Ron Powers in 2011 has been big, bad and just plain mean. To start the year he would turn on his best friend Danny Boy Hawkins giving him a beat down that was hard to watch. He would follow that up by taking Danny Boy’s Classic Wrestling Championship title while ending his career.
He was just getting started, after taking out Danny Boy he has set his sights on MMWA-SICW promoter Herb Simmons. When Simmons brought in Cowboy Bob Orton, Ted Dibiase and Dory Funk Jr so that the fans could have a chance to meet some of the all-time greats, Ron Powers in some demented way took offense to that.
In an odd pairing to say the least, Sean Vincent, the cocky and brash Canadian has been one of Powers henchmen in all of his evil deeds. Powers jealousy and rage has not only been targeted towards the legends but also newcomer LaMarcus Clinton who the fans have quickly gotten behind. Powers would challenge the high flying youngster to a match. Clinton was quickly put on the spot against one of the best ever in the Midwest in his very first year. The weight, the experience and brute strength of Powers would be too much for Clinton as Powers would get the win….but after the bell was rung; Powers continued to attack Clinton thus forcing the ref to reverse the decision in favor of the young star Clinton.
Last month in East Carondelet, Power’s ego would be front and center once again when he challenged anyone to an arm wrestling match. A MMWA-SICW security employee came out but stood no chance of beating power. Out came wrestler Pete Madden who gave it his all but quickly fell to the monster Powers when out of the back came young Chris Hargas.
Hargas one of the young studs of MMWA-SICW was fired up but not as angry as the champ seem to be as he looked on the other side of the table knowing that Hargas was in awesome shape. After several moments of stalling Powers and Hargas sat down to decide who the top arm wrestler was. At first it looked like another win for Powers but Hargas fought and never gave up until it looked as if he had Powers beat. Yet before MMWA-SICW Commissioner Keith Smith could call the victoryPowers had snapped.
Brutally attacking Hargas with chair shot after chair shot while Sean Vincent antagonized and assisted the champ. Powers quickly sent a message to Hargas that he was not amused.
Later that night during a CAC Championship match between Ron Powers and Chaz Wesson, Hargas had regrouped and though you could see he was in pain, was fired up coming through the door and after Powers. The locker room had to be emptied to separate the two and regain peace.

That leaves us to this month; Chris Hargas is set up to team up with Chaz Wesson to take on Ron Powers and Sean Vincent.
We caught up with Ron Powers and Sean Vincent moments after Hargas and Powers were separated and they had this to say.
MMWA-SICW returns August 20th in East Carondelt with a co-main event featuring two of the very best in the country when Gary Jackson meets Mark Sterling.
Get your tickets and come out of the heat into the AC at MMWA-SICW in East Carondelet.
One of the most underrated is the tag team division makes their home in St Louis. When the Ego Express of Steven Kennedy and KC Karrington enter the ring together it Is magical. There were able to defeat the Northstar Express in an exciting matchup in their home turf and they are twice the team now than they were back then. The Egos also had great matches with several of the best in the game including the LONRS, the Hooligans, the Bum Rush Brothers and Vinyl and Vega.
As with many young tag teams, the problem is that each man had a desire for singles glory. Currently Karrington is the NWA Missouri Champion and Kennedy who is coming off an injury is still by his partners side as the two are currently causing trouble at NWA Dynamo.
