WRESTLING FANS! PWP is returning to its roots on AUGUST 21, 2010 when we present:
BATTLE OF THE PHOENIX 2010: RETURN TO KIRN
This is going to be a HUGE event, you will not want to miss it! Here is what’s going down!
*** BATTLE OF THE PHOENIX 2010
This is our annual 20 man over the top rope challenge! Two men start, and a new man enters every 90 seconds! The goal is to be the last man standing after all 20 competitors have entered! The winner of this match will face the PWP Heavyweight Champion in September’s main event! (Whether Tony Cortez is still champion or not!)
*** TONY CORTEZ DEFENDS HIS TITLE
“Babyface” Tony Cortez returns to PWP after a one month absence and will be defending his PWP Heavyweight Championship!
*** MATTY STARR VS “THE REBEL” JEREMY WYATT
In June, Matty Starr got the biggest win of his PWP career when he defeated Jeremy Wyatt. After the match, Wyatt assaulted Matty in very unsportsmanlike manner. Matty vowed revenge, but Wyatt was absent from the July event. Now that we have confirmation that both men will be in attendance in August, we have booked the rematch! You know this one is going to be wild!
*** ABU COLOSSUS VS PRESTON MAXWELL
Preston Maxwell has been on a roll in PWP, winning match after match with the GATOR ROLL CHOKE. Now he has a chance to prove how good he really is to the PWP fans, when he takes on Abu Colossus. Will Preston be able to make Abu submit? Or will Abu’s dominance over the PWP roster continue? You’ll have to see this one to find out!
*** PWP TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Chris Havius & Donnie Peppercricket successfully defended their titles over the Beautiful Bodies (Brian Gott & Derek Cornell) in July. The Bodies have demanded a rematch and the Champions refuse to back down from any challenge!
*** TRIPLE THREAT ACTION!
PWP is known for creating exciting matches for the fans, and we have a great one here! The returning Sir Bradley Charles will face off against Supafli and Joey Daniels in an insane Triple Threat Match!
*** JIMMY ROCKWELL VS JAYDEN DRAIGO
“The Rockstar” Jimmy Rockwell makes his return to PWP and will be taking on the heinous Jayden Draigo in a one on one match. Rockwell will be looking to make an impact on the PWP fans while Draigo will be trying to continue his mayhem.
*** ZAC JAMES HAS A TITLE SHOT
At the anniversary show in May, Zac James won an “Anytime Anywhere Title Shot” in PWP! This means he can challenge either the Heavyweight Champion or the Tag Team Champions at any time! Will he cash in his title shot? Or will he continue to bide his time? You will only find out if you are there on August 21st!
Fans, I’m telling you, this is going to be an EPIC PWP show! Do not miss this one! Bring your friends and family!
Battle of the Phoenix 2010: Return to Kirn
Saturday August 21, 2010
Kirn Junior High School
100 North Ave
Council Bluffs IA 51503
Since I began writing for MWR two and a half years ago, it has been one of, if not the biggest, part of my life. Covering shows, writing profiles and getting involved in the independent wrestling scene has been a great time and a tremendous learning experience. As much as I enjoy helping the Midwest wrestling scene to the best of my abilities, I decided to take a break from writing for Missouri Wrestling Revival.
I have been writing for SIUE’s newspaper, the Alestle since last year, and was given an editorial position for the upcoming semester. I feel that it is in my, and MWR’s, best interest that I take time to focus on my schoolwork and newly acquired editorial position.
Though I will still attend shows from time to time, I do not want to commit to covering shows and not be able to do so. I am extremely grateful for all of the opportunities I have been given and would like to thank MMWA-SICW, LWA, NWA-Dynamo Pro, HVW, IHW, AAPW and PWN, as well as the wrestlers and fans who continue to support both independent wrestling and MWR. Lastly, I would like to thank Josh Ray, Brian Kelley, Dubray Tallman and everyone else who has played a part in MWR’s success.
Wrestlers that are looking to improve their skills and learn from one of the most knowledgeable men in the sport today will not want to miss IHW’S special guest Tony Kozina.
Back from popular demand Kozina returns to IHW after what one attendee told me that it was the best seminar that they have ever been too.
Tony Kozina and Bailey Mannix electrified the fans later that night in a hard hitting match that had the fans clamoring for more.
Bailey Mannix now has his eyes set on the IHW Championship from Brandon Aarons on Sept 11th , can the young star withstand the onslaught from one of the top stars in the sport today?
Can Mannix stay focused on winning the title with Kozina in the building; this is a very volatile situation MWR fans?
If you are a wrestler then you need to take in the advice from the man who trained Davey Richards!!!
If you are a fan you will want to be at Waterloo, Illinois for this epic event.

MMWA-SICW has promised to be out tour and fans and wrestlers alike are sure to reap the awards. They will be at the South Broadway Athletic Club on September 11th and yes again on the 18TH in East Carondelet.
BUT as our good friend Herb Simmons has told us
That is not all ….
The MMWA-SICW will be in Hillsdale Missouri on September 25th for a “FREE” wrestling event sponsored by the Hillsdale Police department and the city officials for a back to school event for the children. This is an outside event so bring your lawn chair and enjoy the Free Wrestling show. Show starts at 1:00pm located on Jesse Jackson Blvd. Also on the same day, September 25th at 8:00pm the MMWA- SICW will be returning too Fairmont City Illinois at the Holy Rosary Gym. We were there last year and had a great turn out and they have been wanting us back, so we are on the way. This event is sponsored by the Fairmont City Police Athletic League.

News flash, this just in, for both of these shows, a special guest has just been confirmed, WWE Hall of Famer “CowBoy Bob Orton” will be on hand. And everyone knows that when the Cowboy is in attendance anything can happen.
Editors note:I have been on the phone and e-mails trying to talk many of you to take the opportunity to be a part of tomorrow’s MMWA-SICW Open door policy. This is a golden opportunity to work with the MWR2009 MWR Promotion of the Year and present yourself to a new crowd. I have been swamped so if I have not got in touch with you, Don’t pout :), all you have to is look right below this post for all the information from our good friend Tim Miller.
MMWA-SICW Open-Door Try-Outs Thursday, August 19th, 2010, 5pm-???
The East Carondelet Community Center
East Carondelet, IL
We are just a little over twenty four hours away from what could be a historic day for professional wrestling in the St. Louis Area and independent wrestling in general. The Open-Door Try-Outs are open to anyone 18yrs of age, working professional a plus but not required, wrestlers, officials, technical hands, etc. should bring a picture ID, State Issued License* (if current) not required to try-out and any promotional materials you may have (pics, videos and resume items) and gear (be prepared as if you were wrestling in a match on a live event). Technical workers should bring examples of what they do, as well. Most of all, bring an OPEN-MIND and positive attitude and be READY! The doors will open at 5pm SHARP with sign-in and registration.
Tony Casta, Herb Simmons, Commissioner Keith Smith and I will have a short question and answer session before the Open-Door Try-Outs to address the Open-Door Policy and answer any question(s) presented before things really get rolling…
THERE ARE NO FEES INVOLVED TO TRY-OUT… PERIOD.
Tony, Herb, Keith and myself have spent countless hours in meetings, negotiations, watching footage, attending “wrestling” events all over the place, watching YouTube clips, e-mails, phone calls, visits to our locations and have put real effort and energy into giving a FAIR, REAL shot to you with these try-outs. Most of the response is very positive. Some of the Legends such as “Maniac” Mark Lewin have told us that we are nuts, Greg Gagne and “Cowboy” Bob Orton say that this has never been done in this fashion before, and to say that we are proud of this concept and effort is an understatement despite what side of the coin you are on!
We are simply giving you a chance to be a part of THE OLDEST, MOST ESTABLISHED and MOST SUCCESSFUL wrestling group in this area! One of the biggest complaints we’ve heard over the years is that “you can’t get in with South Broadway” or “they only use Broadway guys” and we are going to address that and much more this Thursday!
The final thing that we are asking is that those of you that are planning to attend, go to http://www.myspace.com/mmwa-sicw/and send us an e-mail confirming so that we can make our final preparations for this anticipated event!
MMWA-SICW Wrestling On Tour returns THIS SATURDAY NIGHT at 8pm to the East Carondelet Community Center in East Carondelet, IL with another great evening of LIVE wrestling action that you will not want to miss!!! Tony Casta and Herb Simmons are putting the final touches on what could be one of our VERY BEST shows ever PLUS another major announcement from MMWA-SICW Wrestling On Tour…
5 BIG shows on BOTH sides of the river are already signed just for the month of September and MMWA-SICW Wrestling is gearing up for an exceptional Fall/Winter Season featuring big action and big surprises!
Several TV Specials are in the works for the weeks and months ahead and MORE big-name talent to appear! As a matter of fact, Double-Helix TV viewers will be treated to a blockbuster tv main event this Friday night with the NWA World Heavyweight Championship on the line! You don’t want to miss it, St. Louis Wrestling fans!
THANK YOU and we look forward to meeting all of you this week.
Missouri Wrestling Revival is proud to announce the newest addition to our trading card set – Mr. Late Nite. He is our first manager in the set and he has caused quite a bit of commotion in the Midwest wrestling scene since he came back to the business in 2009. The self proclaimed “Hollywood Super Agent” has gotten his fair share of jeers from the fans of Independent Hardcore Wrestling (IHW) and Pro Wrestling Epic (PWE), where he currently manages “The Future” Donovan Ruddick. Vests, ties, glasses, khakis, rolled up sleeves, and a sharp wit are all trademarks of this very talented up and coming manager.
We’d also like to take the time and give some respect to an often overlooked part of wrestling shows – the managers. A lot of our favorite memories involving big names in the wrestling industry wouldn’t have been possible without them. Who would have been the mouthpiece for Andre the Giant in his heated rivalry with Hulk Hogan if there was no Bobby Heenen? Who would have remembered the rivalries that the Midnight Express were involved in if it weren’t for the great ringside presence and promo work of Jim Cornette? Managers lend their gift of gab to performers who would rather let their wrestling do the talking. They have been an important part of this business for decades and we are honored to have one of wrestling’s most exciting new managers to our trading card set. We are sure that Mr. Late Nite will continue to deliver great promos and entertain fans wherever he goes with his unique brand of showmanship.
Mr. Late Nite can be seen on Pro Wrestling NEXT’s “Genesis” show on September 10 in Moline, IL and Independent Hardcore Wrestling’s show on September 11 in Waterloo, IL. On both shows he will managing “The Future” Donovan Ruddick.
Come out and support these two great companies and support managers in professional wrestling. Thank you very much and pick up one of these great trading cards today! Be sure to look up Mr. Late Nite on Facebook and join his fan page!
For a complete list of Missouri Wrestling Revival trading cards as well as WWE , TNA and Japan sets check out the website Wrestling trading cards.com here.
Rings and Cages, Inc will soon be opening an MMA/Ju-Jitsu/Pro Wrestling school in the Kansas City area. We have broken ground on the building and hope to have this completed no later than the end of September.
The building will house an 18×18 wrestling ring, roughly a 30×40 mat area built around the ring area, Thai bags, cage panels, hanging televisions for video/fight/match review.
We will be working closely with Larry Barber and his promotion, supplying a wrestling ring for his local events as well as allowing already trained pro wrestlers in the area to get some ring time in and stay brushed up on their techniques. Of course new students will be welcome.
Ask any fan in the MWR coverage area who they love or hate to see in action and you will hear the names Jeremy Wyatt, Mark Sterling, Dan the Man, Shane Rich, Trevor Murdoch and the Mississippi Madman.
All of them are very deserving to be among the top of the most talked about wrestlers in the game today. There are two men that are mainstays with Pro Wrestling Phoenix that I feel are two of the most entertaining and talented men anywhere and that is #1 Brett Young and Jaysin Strife.
Even though Strife defeated another exciting rising superstar in the sport Ryan Phoenix for the IWA-Midsouth Championship this past June 26th in Bellevue Illinois, he is still left out as one of the top stars in the sport.
Let’s put it this way, right now around the country football fans are gathering to choose teams for their Fantasy Football teams. If there was a MWR Fantasy Wrestling League there is no doubt that Strife is one of the picks that any promoter would want to have for his company.
Don’t believe me? Let’s take a look at a phenomanal match from February 4th, 2006, when Matt (Evan Bourne) defended his X Division Title against the up and coming Jaysin Strife in a Classic CSW (Central States Wrestling) Main Event.
Check out Jaysin Strife in action at Pro Wrestling Phoenix this coming Saturday at PWP
