Posted by flairwhoooooo on April 5, 2010
By Dennis T McHawes
A back jarring, bone breaking, bloody look at life on the road as an independent professional wrestler. A combat veteran of a Desert Storm, Marine, Dennis McHawes, left the military and began his battles in the squared circle. He enters the brutal, secretive and sometimes hilarious world of professional wrestling. From packed arenas to empty banquet halls, The Drill Instructor takes you through a career that span the better part of 9 years and thousands of miles. It is an honest look of how the business works and the people that make up one of America’s favorite hobbies. This explores the dark side of wrestling as well as bright, comical side of what happens in the ring. The story is told from a unique perspective that is rarely told, the guy trying to make it and having short trips to the big stage and then returning to the small venues. The travels include spots around the entire Midwest and the names are some of the biggest in the sport today and yesterday. A must read for the wrestling fan as well as those who enjoy a good story. There are no punches pulled and there is plenty of Blood, Tables and Chairs.

“The Manager of Champions” Travis Cook looks to lead Donovan Ruddick to WWE or TNA!!
Posted by flairwhoooooo on April 4, 2010
Could Donovan Ruddick and Travis Cook be the new face of Pro Wrestling? (Photo Credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
Last night Missouri Wrestling Revival was on hand at MMWA-SICW to honor them with the 2009 MWR Promotion of the Year Plaque. As big of a story as that was it would be the ramifications in the MMWA-SICW title match between the Champion Dave Vaughn and the former Champion Phil E Blunt that would steal the headlines.
Blunt was DQ’d and his manager Travis Cook jumped into the ring to double team Vaughn. Thankfully Donovan Ruddick would enter the ring to make the save….or so it would seem. After holding back Travis Cook and Blunt , Ruddick took the belt from them then laid out Vaughn!!!
On the night that was to be a celebration for MMWA-SICW it would Travis Cook who would be having the most fun. Cook now has one of the most respected and feared wrestlers in the Midwest today “The Future” Donovan Ruddick in his stable “The Connection”.
TNA and WWE in 2010 will have showcased to the world PPV’s in St Louis with WWE’S Elimination Chamber and this month’s TNA Lockdown, the show me state is now a hotbed for Pro Wrestling. Add on the fact that ST Louis Talent Randy Orton and Evan Bourne have became major players it is without a doubt that the both companies will be wanting to catch the next big star in the Midwest.
One can not take away the power and reputation that “The Manager of Champions” Travis Cook will not have a say in who will be given the opportunity to be the next superstar in Pro Wrestling Today.
In an interesting twist Cook did not make any friends on this evening when he showed his clout in Ron Powers match as he was set to take on Billy Diamond and Bobby D in a handicap match. Before the match could begin Cook demanded that Powers show Ed Monihan (from the state Athletic Commission) a current Missouri Wrestling license. Powers licenses were infact not up to date therefore Powers was unable to compete. Words were exchanged between the two with Powers chasing Cook to the back. Powers returned to the ring to let Cook and the fans to know that Illinois isn’t a commission state so he WILL be at MMWA-SICW when they return in East Carondolet, IL next Saturday for the battle royal.

Posted by flairwhoooooo on April 4, 2010
* In a preshow match, Angelus Layne & Supafly beat The Beautiful Bodies.
1.) Matty Starr beat Preston Maxwell
2.) Sir Charles Bradley, who is a graduate of the Lance Storm Wrestling Academy, beat Justin Fowler. An impressive debut for both!
3.) “The Passion” Zac James beat David Clark with help from Ryan Slade.
4.) Joey Daniels beat Jaysin Strife. Afterwards, Jayden Draigo viciously hit
Strife in the head multiple times, busting him wide open. We have been told this
is possibly a severe injury. We will have more on this as soon as it’s available.
5.) “The Canadian Sex Icon” Ryan Slade beat “The Rockstar” Jimmy Rockwell with help from Zac James. Afterwards, Zac & Slade were about to lay into Jimmy when David Clark made the save.
6.) Donnie Peppercricket & Chris Havius defeated “The Rebel” Jeremy Wyatt & Joey Daniels by disqualification when Wyatt used the Tag Title belt on both Donnie & Chris. Therefore, the Murder Militia are still Tag Team Champions.
7.) “Babyface” Tony Cortez beat “The Rebel” Jeremy Wyatt to retain the PWP Heavyweight Championship. Tony had initially ran out at the end of the Tag Title match and Wyatt cheap shotted him and demanded a title shot right there.
It was a great night of action! The next show is April 24th! Details coming soon!

Golden Circle: Give me Embry Any Day
Posted by flairwhoooooo on April 3, 2010
By Greg Anthony
A lot of the boys are working harder than ever to be in the kind of shape that might land them a contract. A word most of them use a lot is “genetics”. Some say they can’t get those John Morrison abs or work, work, work but can’t seem to add the muscle they want or need. Like BT, and most of the boys in the business, we are first and foremost fans. And as a fan if you give me a choice between a 275 pound meathead that can’t tell me who Lou Thesz is or someone less physically gifted but can work circles around 99.9%. Then give me the worker.
I’m not saying that we should all be fat slobs and not try to be in the best athletic shape we can be in. I’m saying overlooking people’s ability in any sport or entertainment because they don’t meet a specific visual criterion is not good business. Every wrestler seems to be under the same microscope as women in the entertainment industry. If you have a women with every musically talent in the world but if she’s 300 pounds then all of sudden she’s not suitable for the industry. As it goes for wrestling in this day and age.
Eric Embry was 5’10, around 225. He didn’t have the physique of an Ultimate Warrior or Lex Luger. Even though I haven’t had the pleasure of working with any of these men, if you told me I to pick one of these men to work for 6 months straight… give me Embry any day. Of course that’s purely from a working perspective. I’d probably earn more money with Warrior but also some concussions.
My theory has changed a lot in the last year or so. I see some guys getting on the gas, so they can be as big as humanely possible. They want to be COMESTICALLY in the greatest shape of their lives. They aren’t working out to acheive a size, shape or health that will make them better workers. The steroid issue has fizzled out some but is still a touchy subject. I’ve never took steroids, obviously, but I have been tempted. I’ld love to wrestle a match when I’m 70, like Thesz. By that time the next oldest person in the business would be like 28. On the bright side it might be my grandson.
