PRO WRESTLING EPIC RETURNS THIS SATURDAY!

Posted by flairwhoooooo on June 22, 2010

We are just under a week away from Pro Wrestling Epic’s return to Mount Pulaski, IL on Saturday, June 26. Here is an in depth look at the main event match.

THE TALE OF THE TAPE…

TYLER BLACK:

Height: 6 ft 1in

Weight: 220 lbs.

Trained By: DANNY DANIELS

Years Pro: 5

-Current Ring of Honor Champion

: BRANDON AARONS:

Height: 6 ft

Weight: 170 lbs.

Trained By: DINGO

Years Pro: 4

– -Current Pro Wrestling Epic U.S. Champion

–IHW Heavyweight Champion

After capturing his first PWE championship title, back in April, with an impressive victory over then United States Champion Mark Sterling, Brandon Aarons looks to prove that he is not just the flavor of the month in Pro Wrestling Epic.

Aarons looks to gain respect as he prepares for arguably the toughest challenge of his young career, when he steps into the ring with current Ring Of Honor World Champion, Tyler Black.

To followers of the independent professional wrestling landscape, Tyler Black is a staple, not only because of his present status in ROH, but also because of his legitimate claim to being one of the top pro wrestlers on the planet, having been ranked at #17 on Pro Wrestling Illustrated Magazine’s “PWI 500” in 2009.

While Brandon Aarons is not yet a household name across the globe, he has spent the better part of the last year, establishing himself one victory at a time defeating some of the best talent that the midwest has to offer.

Key wins over current NWA Central States Champion Mark Sterling,as well as Mike Sydal, (brother of WWE superstar Evan Bourne), both of whom he defeated for their respective titles, have helped to raise the stock of Brandon Aarons in Pro Wrestling Epic.

In addition to those accomplishments, Aarons is also the current flagship of Independent Hardcore Wrestling, having held the Heavyweight title since February.

Can his momentum carry him to the next level of what can only be decribed as his breakout year? Find out on June 26 in Mt. Pulaski.

Huge upset, as the No. 1 contenders to the 3XW Tag Team titles lost to a first-time team of rookies. Impressive showing by West and SBC.

8. 10-Man Elimination Tag Team match – The Gentlemen’s Club (Brian Ash, Gage Octane, Devin Carter, Casanova and Todd Countryman) beat Mark Sterling, “The Unbreakable” Zach Thompson, Maddog McDowell, Krotch and Ring of Honor World champion Tyler Black. It came down to Ash and Thompson and Ash pinned Thompson despite a valiant effort on the part of Thompson. Black was eliminated when the referee saw him hit Ash with a title belt that Ash tried to hit him with first and Sterling was DQ’d for refusing to release a Sharpshooter on Octane after Octane had already tapped out. Thompson then pinned Octane before taking the final fall to Ash.

After the bout, the Gentlemen’s Club continued to assault Thompson, who was saved by all his partners to the cheers of the crowd.

Dubi meets the 3XW fans June 2010

Posted by flairwhoooooo on June 18, 2010

Dubray Tallman back with you here at MWR with a brand new Dubi Meets the fans and for the very first time I am doing this feature at 3XWrestling in Des Moines Iowa.

I missed the last time Brian went as he and his good friend Josh Ray made their way to present 3XW with the 2008 MWR Promotion of the Year Plaque last year and since I have been they have moved from IN Play to the Social Club.

If you are one of my friends who live quite a ways and have not checked out 3XWrestling, I highly recommend that you take the drive and not only watch some exciting 3XWrestling but the beautiful city of Des Moines as well. This would be the third time that we have gone together and it never seems to fail that we run out of time to take in the sights. If we ever get enough money I am looking forward to staying in town and sight see after a show the next day.

I was told from Brian that 3XW had a sweet set up and he was not lying. With the lights on and the building painted black it was perfect for wrestling with a big league feel, with up close and personal feel of a local show. Easily the most professional looking shows that we have gone too.

Our good friend Skylar Pierce was very helpful by pointing out some 3XW faithful fans who was allowed in 15 minutes early because they bought their ticket early, which I thought was awesome because I hate to wait to get in so that is a great ideal 3XW.

While Brian caught up with his friends Maddog McDowell and Referee Jeremy Robb, I was off to work meeting the fans. First up was one of our facebook friends Amanda Elliot who I knew was a hardcore Mike Sydal fan but I was told that at last months show at 3XW Sydal had lost a loser leaves town match to high flying Zach Thompson, Say it isn’t so Mike!!

Amanda stated that she liked Rory Fox, a wrestler that Brian had stated he was excited about seeing live for the first time. Rory was impressive in his win against “The Laotian Sensation” Ricky Kwong with “The Laotian Liaison” Chad Mylan and Mylan’s new MMA security guard. I got so busy during intermission trying to get everyone rounded out that Amanda was nice enough to take the picture for us.

Next up was a great group of fans in the front row who was there to cheer on young up and comer John West. Hope, Joe, Brittany, Alyssa, Haley and Joey Maston from Des Moines Iowa posed with the young star.

Little did I know that 3XW was to provide the fans with an exciting surprise at the start of the show when to the ring came the easy on the eyes Tyler Black who was to wrestle later on that night. Eric Konecne from Exira Iowa quickly came up to me to see if it was possible to have his Dubi meets the fans picture with his favorite tag team The Horndogs of Krotch and Maddog McDowell with Tyler Black. I told him that I would do my best and though during the intermission that had wrestlers signing Autographs and hanging out with the fans we were unable to get Eric with the Horndogs and Black at the same time we took his picture separately with the stars.

Brian was asked by Midnight Guthrie to come to ring to show off the MWR Plaque that we were giving Jeremy Wyatt and Tyler Cook for their 3XW match last year then it was back to meeting with the fans.

One of the most popular wrestlers there had to be the “Rockstar” Jimmy Rockwell who was birthday boy Jack’s favorite wrestler. Jack was turning 8 years old that day and was joined with Allison ( Sue City) and Randy from (Des Moines). It took us some time as Jimmy is great with his fans but young Jack and his friends looked to have a birthday to remember

Slowly but surely, I have been working on a new project here at MWR called MWR’S Sexiest wrestler in the Midwest and one man that is sure to be a part of the voting will be Kansas City Heartthrob Tyler Cook.

On this night I was thankful that Cook represented MWR by wearing our shirt to the ring and throwing it too one lucky fan.  A wonderful women, Paula Grove caught the shirt while sitting next to her husband Don. Unfortunately Cook took a beating from The Rebel Jeremy Wyatt prior to intermission and was unable to come out to pose with Paula but she was in good sprits as we talked about how long she had been coming to 3XW.

A fun night of wrestling with some great guys, I hated to leave but before we left Brian picked up a 3XW dvd that had Tyler Black vs. Jeremy Wyatt and offered to buy me a Sir Bradley Charles T-shirt , a wrestler who he is thinks very highly of but he didn’t have my size so Brian got a XL, just my luck  .

The road home was filled with rain and storms and it took us a little longer than normal but it was well worth it. I was impressed when Skylar called us the next morning to make sure we made it home safe. It is always good hanging with people that care.

Once again 3XW and their fans thank you for the good times.

Brian will have a photo recap of this show very soon and I will be working on Dubi meets the IHW Fans from this past weekend.

Till next time MWR Fans be good.

GODS OF THUNDER PAINTING

Posted by flairwhoooooo on June 15, 2010

 

On the eighth day God created Wrestling…

For many years athletes have entered the squared circle to entertain the fans. For every Suplex or Bodyslam these men have found their way into the heart of the fans. However there is always a price for fame and fortune as these men have put their bodies, their careers, and their life on the line with no fear of the result that could leave them injured, crippled, or even result in death.

The Gods of Thunder is a symbol of the history of professional wrestling as well as a symbol of the Hell one must go through to entertain the fans and achieve greatness. This piece of artwork was created to remember some of the greatest legends, gimmicks, announcers, territories and managers of all time. It covers every era of wrestling dating back to the early 1900’s by featuring Frank Gotch and going to the future stars of today with wrestlers like Randy Orton to John Cena to Kofi Kingston and so on…

There are 355 wrestling legends on this painting !

This painting took nearly 3 years to create and every wrestler was carefully placed onto the painting. In addition to the thousands of hours that went into painting this, there was also an equal amount of time spent on research on the background of each wrestler. Personal feelings and politics were taken out in the decisions that were made on deciding who was to be on this painting. There is a story behind these legends that has in one way or another been a part of wrestling for the last one hundred years.

This painting started out as a small project that just kept getting bigger and bigger. With nearly thousands of wrestling legends to chose from the decisions that were made were very difficult and to make this painting stand out some were left off because of a look that was just too similar to others. Our goal was to cover wrestling as a whole by taking legends from the United States, Mexico, Japan, Puerto Rico and so on. Territories were also important since as a fan there were so many in the 70’s and 80’s that wrestlers could develop from. The announcers also deserve credibility as they made wrestling more exciting and thanks to one man Jim Ross “He’s Bleeding Profusely “ became my favorite phrase. St Louis is recognized since that is where both the artist and myself grew up and had it not been for Wrestling at the Chase and our grandfathers neither of us would be fans. Taking a quote from Ric Flair “If you want to make it in this business you have to go through St. Louis” and that holds true as some of the greatest wrestlers started their careers in St. Louis.

Many fans may or may not agree to who is on the painting but let’s face everyone is entitled to an opinion. Had it not been for Vince McMahon wrestling may never have escalated to what it is today. He is one businessman who knows how to make money and took a vision and made it happen and for that I want to personally Thank Mr. McMahon. “THANK YOU VINCE”

To all the Legends of Wrestling without all of you this painting would never have been a vision, and to the artist The Icon without you my vision would never have become a reality.

I have been a fan for over 35 years and I have so many memories that these legends have left on me that will last me a lifetime. I hope that all of the wrestling fans will appreciate this artwork since this is the first of its kind and one can spend hours and hours starring at this. The wrestlers look may or may not be of what you remember but they were picked from an era or when they were in their prime. There will be special edition Giclee’ prints that will feature wrestlers that are not on the picture and will be available for the serious collectors.

To Purchase this one of a kind print click here.

I received a copy of the painting from Ed and the artists that did the painting. I first received a call from Ed about three years ago telling me about his project. Being in the wrestling game business for years I listen to what he was telling me and thought I was just hearing just another person with dream that would go nowhere. I never heard from Ed until in May of this year while coordinating the Legends on Tour 2010 in St Charles. I was standing there talking with Cowboy Bob Orton and this guy, who I never had seen before introduced himself to me and then showed me the picture. I must say I was impressed with it. It took three years and it turned out great. All the Legends that were with us received a copy of it and they were impressed just like I was. It goes to show you if you have a dream and follow it good things will happen. I wish Ed all the luck with this painting and hope others will follow.

Pro Wrestling Promoter Herb Simmons
