Last week we announced that one of the top wrestlers in the world today, the Ring of Honor TV Champion Eddie Edwards was our number twenty MWR Trading Card in the highly sought out collectable that honors the hard working men and women in the world of pro wrestling.

Eddie Edwards joins his tag team partner Davey Richards and fellow Ring of Honor wrestler and World Champion Tyler Black to be featured with other exciting wrestlers such as Mark Sterling, Jeremy Wyatt, Brandon Espinosa and “Superstar” Steve Fender just to name a few.

I was happy today when I was working on trying to get post to be ready for the week when I ran across the Eddie Edwards official website and saw that the MWR Site and cards were featured on the front page of one of wrestling’s hottest young wrestlers home page.

Add the Eddie Edwards website to your favorites by clicking here.

You can purchase cards through MWR or catch up with Eddie Edwards himself,

Once again thank you to Eddie Edwards and all the wrestling stars that joined the hottest wrestling collectable going today.

Dubi meets the PWP Fans 8-21-10

Posted by flairwhoooooo on September 5, 2010

By Dubray Tallman

Our trip to Council Bluffs, Iowa turned out to be on a beautiful day. With the fall season upon us and school around the corner for both us we knew we had to make our way to Council Bluffs Iowa just in case we were unable attend later due to time.

Pro Wrestling Phoenix blessed to have a great photographer in Gary  Giaffoglione  there on most shows so we always have a MWR presence at a PWP show. PWP has always been great to work with and if you remember they are the premier promotion for fresh baked cookies at their concession stand. We took home eight rice krispy treats if that tells you anything. Hey they are that good

Brian was excited about seeing Gary once again, and had brought him up a complete set of the MWR Trading cards that have several that feature his photo work such as the Mike Sydal, Sir Bradley Charles and the chilling Jeremy Wyatt card that looks a little sinister. Gary made the trip worth it by giving me a hug (You know I need my attention, I am Dubray of course) so the night had started off right.

Prior to saying our hellos to the staff, we decided to find the restroom that was located in the hallway. Before I got done Brian was talking to some fans that were there an hour early waiting for the doors to open. Brian told them what we were doing and Nancy stated that her favorite was the BIG Abu Colossus. She stated that every time he came out prior to his match she liked to get up and do a dance to let him know that she was on his side. We promised her that if Abu was there on the night she would be among the Dubi Meets the fans.

The doors opened at 6:30 so off the work I went to find fans that were interested in being a part of this edition of Dubi meets the fans. Brian and PWP must have advertised it good or they remembered the last time we did it at PWP and didn’t want to miss it this time because there was a ton of people wanting to get their picture with the PWP Superstars.

Our MWR Wrestler of the night was none other than the PWP Champion Tony Cortez. Cortez wore the MWR shirt prior to starting the night off with impromptu win against Zac James.  Before the match started he threw the shirt to Ben Castillo from Fremont, NE. During the intermission he took the time to meet the young fan.

One fan that was a lot of fun to watch during the matches told me his name was Daniel “The Power Deaf” Gilchrist from Glenwoood Iowa. When the wrestlers would kick out just in time for the final 3 count he was really into it. He wanted Jayden Draigo but Draigo I was told has been a terror at PWP for some time and can be uncontrollable at times so Brian asked if he could choose someone else. He quickly chose fan favorite Matty Starr.

Ron Blair had no hesitation to who he wanted to have his picture with it was the ever popular Donnie Peppercricket.

Young Michael Barnes from Council Bluffs Iowa was at PWP to see the exciting Jaysin Strife in action. Strife was more than happy to get his picture with Michael.

A regular of Pro Wrestling Phoenix was John Striffler from Omaha Nebraska who told me that he had been a big of wrestling for over sixty years. John told me that he always enjoyed coming to Pro Wrestling Phoenix and tried to make every show. John told me that he was a fan of Chris Havius who was one half of the PWP Tag Team Champions along with Donnie Peppercricket.

As we were taking pictures I was told that little bitty Kaycee’s favorite wrestler was Tony Cortez. Cortez was nearby and snapped the shot of the youngest fan to ever take part in the Dubi meets the fans.

The last time we were at PWP Matty Star was in high demand and on this night it was no different. Starr has been making waves in 2010 where ever we go and we are not the only ones that noticed because just like Daniel “The Power Deaf” Gilchrist, Joshua Pope was all smiles as he posed with Matty Starr.

Abu Colossus had his hands full on this night against Preston Maxwell but before his match after intermission he took a snap shot with Nathan Gilchrist.

Adam was a fan of the PWP Tag Team Champions, Havius and Peppercricket and may have been the last person to get their pictures taken with the duo as champs. They would take on the Beautiful Bodies, and would retain the titles but you will have to wait for the recap here at MWR (Or click on the PWP Website if you can’t wait) to find out who would leave Battle of the Phoenix 2010 with the belts.

The last fan that I will introduce you to was really excited to be at PWP and was very excited to have their pictures taken with the PWP wrestlers was Mike Firk. Mike would ask to have his picture taken with Matty Starr, Chris Havius and Donnie Peppercricket as well as catching me after the show excited about getting his picture taken with the lovely  Angelus Layne and Jaysin Strife.

I looked around to see who my pick on this evening would be and noticed that Sir Bradley Charles had just got done meeting the fans and selling the awesome looking SBC shirt to a fan and had a moment so I asked him to be my Dubi Meets the fans choice and Jaysin Strife was nearby so why not add him as well.

We hope to have a full recap of this show along with MWR’S Introducing Angelus Layne.

Till next time be good and I hope to see you at the show.

MR Late Nite “invites” you to IHW’S Supercard on September 11, in Waterloo

Posted by flairwhoooooo on September 3, 2010

The opinions and views  expressed from Mr Late Nite do not necessarily reflect the views of Missouri Wrestling Revival.

It’s come to my attention that some of you idiots still aren’t getting the “big picture”. That’s alright, I didn’t expect a high level of intelligence out of wrestling fans. On September 11, at the VFW Hall in Waterloo, Illinois, I will drop a bombshell on the fans of Independent Hardcore Wrestling. Hell, I’ll drop a bomb on the entire head office of that company. “The Future” Donovan Ruddick and I have big plans, that go far beyond the world of professional “wrasslin”, but you’ll just have to wait until the show to find out what my big surprise is. Can you wait that long? Or are you all a bunch of mouth breaking window lickers who can’t wait for anything?

Not only am I going to have a surprise, but you’ll be seeing my client, Donovan Ruddick, go one-on-one against a man that I’ve been waiting to put out of this business for a long time – Mephisto. I don’t understand why fans like this guy. He’s out of shape, fat, has no charisma, and no showmanship. Ya know, maybe fans like Mephisto, because he’s just like the rest of them – a bunch of no talent losers. The fans can see their hero get pounded into oblivion on September 11th. I know a lot of you like the demolition derby, but this will be a human demolition derby. Donovan Ruddick is a monster truck and Mephisto is a Ford Escort. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to beat this idiot, so we can move on to bigger and better things.

If you’re looking for a few more reasons to come check out the show, I suggest you come out to see Brandon Aarons defend his IHW championship against a man who is physically and mentally superior to him – Bailey Mannix. Mannix is a pretty talented individual and his manager, Leon, could make a good assistant one day. Anyway, Bailey’s suspension is up the week of the show and Brandon is going to have to fight a man with nothing to lose and everything to gain. I doubt that pretty boy is going to be prepared for Bailey. Another man I respect, Eric Allen, will be defending his Illinois State title against Billy McNeil. We all know that McNeil got lucky against Sean Vincent in July, but Eric Allen is no slouch. McNeil’s not smart enough to win a match against Allen. You can do all the stupid flips you want, kid, but when you’re wrestling Eric Allen, it’s a mental chess game and McNeil lacks something between his ears to be able to win such a game.

So jump in your pick up trucks, cash your welfare checks, put on your best flannel shirt, brush your tooth, and bring your beer money and come out and see IHW on September 11th at the VFW Hall in Waterloo, Illinois. The gates open at 6:30pm. Make sure you’re there. You wouldn’t want to miss this show.

MR Late Nite

Yee-haw.

Did you miss the last IHW Show? If so lets take a look at all the great action from IHW’S Last Dance in Dupo.

MWR Trading card #20 Eddie Edwards

Posted by flairwhoooooo on September 2, 2010

By Alyssa Major

We are thrilled to have one of the top wrestlers in the world Eddie Edwards as the twentieth card in the MWR Trading Card Series. Edwards has wrestled around the world and can be seen in R0H on HDnet every Monday Nights.

Having been trained by not only the legendary Killer Kowalski, but the Pro Wrestling NOAH Dojo, Eddie has become a talent that is desired on wrestling shows all over the world since his 2002 debut. While he is most noted for his work in Ring Of Honor, Eddie is known to work for many companies in the New England area, as well as NOAH in Japan.

While he debuted in Ring Of Honor in 2006, Eddie probably gained most notoraity after forming the team of The American Wolves with Davey Richards in 2008. It wasn’t long after their formation that the two captured the Ring Of Honor Tag Team Titles from rivals Kevin Steen and El Generico in April of 2009. The feud continued well into 2009, only to be put to a halt after an “Anything Goes” match with Kevin Steen in Boston, Massachusetts at “The Final Countdown Tour: Boston” on September 25th that resulted in a serious injury for Eddie.

The next night, with his elbow broken, Eddie went on to team with Davey to take on Steen and Generico in a ‘Ladder Wars’ match, retaining their championship. It wouldn’t be until December 19th of that year that Eddie not only made his return to wrestling, but that the Wolves lost their tag belts, being defeated by the Briscoe Brothers.

With feuds against men like Steen & Generico and The Briscoes, the Wolves championship run also led to numerous memorable tag title defenses including a 45 minute draw again Tyler Black and Bryan Danielson now known as “Tag title classic”. While he is widely known as a tag team wrestler, when he captured the first ever Ring Of Honor TV Title, in a tournament that lead him to face his own partner, Eddie was able to show doubters that while he worked good with a partner, he may be even better on his own.

Hello Wrestling Fans: Announcer Bill Kersten Honored for Lifetime Achievement

Posted by flairwhoooooo on September 1, 2010

The great Bill Kersten was on hand with WLW in Richmond Mo earlier this year to give WLW announcer Dan Gier and the fans a treat to start the show with his famous saying. (Photo Credit Brian Kelley)

I try my best to keep up with all the wrestling news in the Midwest but even at times some great information passes by and we miss them. This is the case with this must see video from FOX4 from Kansas City spotlighting the great Bill Kersten.

As much as I grew up with the likes of Harley Race, Rufus R Jones, Bulldog Bob Brown there was always one man who was always the first voice I heard every Saturday night after Saturday Night Live and that was Bill Kerstin

I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr Kerstin several times at World League Wrestling though out the years and it has always been a pleasure and an honor.

This looks to have been recorded last July, 2009 prior to Kerstin being inducted into the International Wrestling Institute and Museum in Waterloo, Iowa.

As the saying goes better late than never and if you have seen it then I am sure it will still be worth another look at one of the Midwest most loved announcers in sports history.

KANSAS CITY, MO – Derrick Thomas isn’t the only metro area sports legend entering his sport’s Hall of Fame this summer.

Longtime metro professional wrestling announcer Bill Kersten, who announced All-Star Wrestling on local television from 1966 through 1985, is being honored this weekend at the International Wrestling Institute and Museum in Waterloo, Iowa.

FOX 4’s Dave Froehlich has the story of the legendary broadcaster and former Liberty mayor and Clay County commissioner who gained part of his fame broadcasting wrestling matches from our own WDAF studios in the 1960’s.

Click here for the Video

Wrestling fans in Kansas City you will have a chance to check out wrestling once again as Metro Pro Wrestling returns on September 4th with a who’s who of superstars in the sport in the Midwest today.

For more information please check out their website here so you don’t miss this historic evening of wrestling.

If you are a wrestler that wants to learn from the best then do not miss this years WLW/NOAH CAMP. For all the info click here.
