The tag team the Bayou Outlaws is the only tag team to capture the MECW tag Team Championship twice while becoming quite possible the most popular tag team in MECW history.
The Bayou Outlaws would go to war with Huge in Japan (Kwong and Jimmy Rockwell), and BRO-MANCE– (Jordan McEntyre & Knight Wagner) over the titles.
With the power of the big man McDowell and the drive of Masterson they are a team that is hard to beat.

We would like to wish our friend Dave a speedy recovery so that we can see him at the matches in the near future.
During the start of MWR, we looked around at promotions and wrestlers to find out who the very best in the Midwest.
One team that stood out was the team of Eric Ruffington and Blake Steel otherwise known as Feature Presentation.
Feature Presentation had been among the top of the central Illinois tag team scene at one point along with the Hybrids, the Phoenix Twins and Zero Gravity including some great matches at New Breed Wrestling. They finished a strong 8th in Josh Rays MWR’s 2008 Wrestling Revival Cup for Tag Teams.
In 2009 they challenged for the PWE Tag team titles during the show titled Damnacrocy but came up short against Zero Gravity.
The duo looked to come back at NMW recently to challenge Attitude Inc for the tag titles but struggled to see eye to eye, then unfortunately ,Ruffingtons health derailed the return to the glory.. Blake Steel continues to be one of the top stars in the area including a run with the PWE US title, currently there are the rumors spreading that he may make his way to the STL in the near future .
Harley Race will be running a beginners 2-day seminar that will teach prospective students who want to pursue their dream of becoming professional wrestlers. The Harley Race Academy produces wrestlers that have reputations that speak for themselves, many of which have landed contracts with W.W.E and other promotions around the world. The Academy is ran by “The King” himself and he has selected top students to help him shape and mold current students of his school into outstanding wrestlers.
The seminar will be held September 2nd, and 3RD (Friday and Saturday respectively). The hours will be from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm on both days. At the seminar, Harley and his instructors will be teaching prospective beginners the basics when it comes to ring activity. Along with the in-ring learning you will also be doing multiple –cardiovascular activities which has been designed by Race himself and still teaches at his academy to this day.
This opportunity is being provided to prospective students of the game because there are too many places that take advantage of people wanting to learn the right way. At the Harley Race Wrestling Academy, you will learn the right way with the 8-time Worlds Heavyweight champion himself present. You have the chance to learn the correct way to the craft that gave him 30 years of experience and the respect that only he has obtained.
The price for the seminar is $100.00 per person. This covers the cost of the class itself. Outside cost (food, hotel, travel, ect) would be at that person’s expense. It should also be noted that this seminar is not affiliated with the 11th annual Harley Race Wrestling camp October 17th-21st . However, there will be an opportunity for a student from the seminar to receive a discount to the wrestling camp in October if he or she chooses to attend both. Please note that payment for the camp is to be made at sign in on the first day September 2nd. Please do NOT pay online with our paypal system.

No one saw this team coming and surly not the PWP Champs Chris Havius and Donnie Peppercricket who had just defeated the Beautiful Bodies moments earlier. Yet, Zac James surprised everyone when he cashed in his chance at any PWP belt right on the spot with his partner Ryan Slade . The results NEW PWP Tag team champions.
Since then, James and Slade along with manager Axel Greece has surprised many as they have successfully defended the PWP Tag Team titles more than any other tag team in that promotion.
Canada’s Ryan Slade and AJ Smooth has been a force to reckon with as they have caused trouble at 3XWrestling and MECW. Always in great condition Slade and Smooth used their stamina to their advantage in some very big wins including a MECW Tag Team Championship.
In March of 2009 during a Tag Team Gauntlet Match: Sexy and Smooth (“The Canadian Sex Icon” Ryan Slade and A.J. Smooth) defeated Kwongercricket (“The Asian Sensation” Ricky Kwong and “The 80s Pop Icon” Donnie Peppercricket), The Horndogs (Maddog McDowell and Krotch) and The High Flyers (“The Unbreakable” Zach Thompson and Mike Sydal) to become the No. 1 contenders for the 3XW Tag Team titles held by the Northstar Express.
The duo looked to be poised for many more championships but like many tag teams, differences would surface. During this summer MWR was on hand to witness AJ Smooth win a “shave the sideburns match” over Slade when Tony Sly distracting the ref allowing Smooth to crack him over the head with the Canadian flagpole at 3XW’s Downtown Destruction III.
Next week at 3XWrestling Ryan Slade will attempt to even the score in a Canadian Tuxedo match.
This past Saturday in East Carondelet, wrestling powerhouse Kevin X destroyed Chase King during a memorable night of action. After the match MMWA-SICW promoter Herb Simmons announced to the crowd that Kevin X would soon be leaving for Afghanistan with the US Army.
The crowd gave him a standing ovation, with one fan yelling “We love to hate you” to the fearsome rule breaker. Kevin X’s reply was “ I love for you to hate me”.
One man who should not miss Kevin X is the Pete Madden. The last time these two met Kevin X has had Maddens number. Powerful and exciting Kevin X will be missed till his return. (Photo Credit Brian Kelley)
Kevin X has been gaining momentum lately throughout the Midwest at MMWA-SICW, NWA Dynamo and Metro Pro Wrestling in matches with Brian Breaker, Pete Madden and was involved in a great 6 man match featuring former NWA World Champion Dory FunkJr.
From everyone here at MWR we would like to wish Kevin X the best and give a sincere thank you to him for his 12 years of service.
It is with great men and women such as Kevin X that allows us to enjoy the freedom we have in the greatest country of them all.
We can’t wait till your return.
Give them Hell Kevin.
I leave you with the entrance music that Kevin X comes out too.
The exciting Knights of Fire featured Jaysin Strife and Vic Victory, two fan favorites who put their bodies on the line for the fans and their never die attitude kept them in every match.. This duo quickly ended the reign of Simply the Best (Hype Gotti and Tony Cortez) to become the PWP Tag team Champions.
The Knights of Fire would get a top notch victory when they retained the titles from F1RST Family (Arik Cannon and Ryan Cruz) then back that up the next month retaining the titles against “The Passion” Zac James & Preston Maxwell, Jimmy Rockwell & Ricky Kwong, and Brett Young & Mark Sterling in a 4-Way Elimination Match.
The Supergroup known as Murder Miltia would soon come to dominance at this time thus spelling the end of their title reign.
A fan requested that a video or match be added of the teams if I should find one so here you go a music video of PWP’S Year Of The PhoenixIV that included some highlights on the Knights of Fire.
