High Voltage Wrestling returns February 20th in Granite City Illinois

I’m a big believer that to know where you’re going then you have to know where you’ve been. Thats why I’ve spent so much time studying the history of our business. One of my biggest pet peeves is guys not knowing their own history. If you’re going to be a cowboy then you should know a guy like Stan Hansen. If you insist to use the mist as part of your gimmick then you should know each color does different things. So when I decided that I was going to be “The Golden Boy” then I imediatley researched Golden Boy’s of the past.

 
Arnold Skaaland is a WWE Hall of Famer. He was a cornerstone of the then WWWF(World Wide Wrestling Federation) during their most formative years. Holding the the tag titles with Spiros Arion. He later retired from competition and began managing. Arnie maganged two world champions in Bruno Sammertino and Bob Backlund. He was also the one whom threw in the towel in the infamous Iron Sheik-Backlund confrontation that cost Backlund his title. It also became Backlund’s catalyst for his heel run as champion in the mid 90s that resulted in Backlund attacking him. Mr. Skaaland was a loyal member of the WWE family his whole career until he passed away in 2007. I never had the pleasure of meeting him but his impact on me is evident.  

Some familiar names have also been a Golden Boy. Before he was a Skyscrapper, Dan Spivey was a Golden Boy. Spivey was brought in to WWF to team with Mike Rotundo but when that team was dismantled he was repackaged as “Golden Boy” Dan Spivey even competing in Wrestlemania 2. 

Jeff Jarrett was one early in his career. Before he was King of the Mountain, a member of The 4 Horseman or even J-e-double f, J-a-double r-e-double t.. “Double J” Jeff Jarrett.

 
Because of my proximity alot of people bring up the name of “Golden Boy” Chick Donovan. A journeyman that laid his bed mostly in the southeast. He was apart of Jimmy Hart‘s First Family and even had a run as the Southern Heavyweight Champion. I just saw a match on youtube featuring Chick and he is still in tremendous shape. I would love to get together a maybe have a battle of The Golden Boys or even a tag match.
 
I hope that these past golden boys approve of my current use of the name. I’ve always strived to be respectful to those who paved the way in our business. Over the years I’ve used different aspects of each of these guys interpitation of the gimmick while creating my own. When I was very young in the business these men gave me a templete to create what the golden boy is today. So I say thank you to them all because they are truely is as good as gold.

From the 3XW Website

We want to thanks the fans for coming out – last night was the biggest crowd ever for a 3XW show at the DMSC – it was packed! We literally were down to our last two available chairs!

– 3XW Commissioner and leader of the Gentlemen’s Club Todd Countryman opened the night announcing that thanks to Gage Octane’s efforts in helping eliminate former president Skylar Pierce from 3XW, Octane received the night off with double pay and a paid vacation to Florida. He also announced that at Reign of Terror on February 5th, The High Flyers will defend the 3XW Tag Team titles against Octane and Mark Sterling in a rematch from the title change in August.

1. Non-title: 3XW Tag Team champions The High Flyers (Zach Thompson and Mike Sydal) beat Brady A. Dezire and Tony Sly.

2. Ricky Kwong (with his advisor Chad Mylan) defeated Aaron Masterson.

3. Maddog McDowell beat debuting Domino Rivera

4. Jimmy Rockwell beat Casanova (with Todd Countryman) to win the 3XW Cruiserweight title. Immediately after the match, Countryman announced Rockwell will have to defend against Casanova – the master of the Sleeperhold – in February in a Submission Only match.

5. Sexy and Smooth beat Sparrow and Jon West in his 3XW debut.

6. Devin Carter beat Mark Sterling (with Todd Countryman) after Casanova tried to throw Sterling brass knuckles, overthrew them, and Carter caught them and punched Sterling out.

7. 3XW Heavyweight champ Jeremy Wyatt beat Rory Fox, 2 falls to 1, in a 2 out of 3 falls bout. The final fall saw Fox have Wyatt on the verge of submitting in the center of the ring with the referee down, only for Tony Sly to shockingly enter the ring, nail Fox in the back with the title, and Wyatt to finish Fox with a Kansas Tumbleweed for the win.

Following the match, Sly was about to hit Fox with a chair, only for Maddog McDowell to run in for the save. Maddog, however, pushed Wyatt out of his way on the way to the ring, so Wyatt ran back in to attack Maddog. This lead to the entire locker room joining in and causing a chaotic brawl to end the show.

What did you fans think about last night’s event?

Also – you can go to the Reign of Terror thread right now and see four matches already announced.

Quick Results:
1. High Flyers def. Tony Sly & Brady A Dezire
2. Ricky Kwong def. Aaron Masterson
3. Maddog McDowell def. Domino Rivera
4. Jimmy Rockwell def. Casanova. Rockwell new 3XW Cruiserweight Champion.
5. Sexy & Smooth def. Sparrow & Jon West
6. Devin Carter def Mark Sterling
7. Jeremy Wyatt def. Rory Fox. Retains 3XW Heavyweight Championship.

Missouri Wrestling Revival is proud to announce that in 2010 we are going to be producing our very own MWR Collector Wrestling cards.

This series promises to bring excitement throughout the Midwest showcasing many of the top wrestlers in the game today. The Future Stars of Pro Wrestling is in the Midwest today and you can own a piece of history because you never know who will be the next breakout Superstar.

Throughout the year look for opportunities to get your hands on these must have collectables as each card will have its own separate release date. Missouri Wrestling Revival t-shirts have been the most desired wear throughout the past two years. Just recently we have released the MWR Best of the Midwest Series One DVD that gave a example of the fine talent that is in our coverage area

In 2010 look forward to MWR wrestling cards, a brand new MWR T-shirt and we will be working diligently to bring you a great lineup for the MWR Series Two DVD. This and much more is planned in the future.

At press time these are the wrestlers who have agreed to be a part of this wonderful collection. If your favorite wrestler is not on the list do not fear as we hope to continue this feature. Due to the high expense of such a project it will be a slow process and due to the teamwork of the promotions other wrestlers may be added along the way.

1)  “Superstar” Steve Fender
2) The Hooligans
3) Arik Cannon
4) Jeremy Wyatt
5) “Bloody” Harker Dirge
6) Mark Sterling
7) Mike Sydal
8) Dave Vaughn
9) Bailey Mannix
10) Eric Allen
11) Davey Vega
12) The Ego Express
13) Devin Carter

More in discussion

The first card in the series will be none other than the 2008 MWR Tag team of the Year, Darin Corbin and Ryan Cruz, The Northstar Express.

One of the most talented teams in the sport today the Northstar Express have thrilled fans wherever they have gone. The NSE wrestling card with photography from MWR photographer Michael R Van Hoogstraat will also feature the Midwest hottest diva Nikki “pNut” Mayday. We are proud to team up with one of the Midwest finest wrestlers o immortalize them with these collector cards.

The ideal is to start a MWR Baseball card that I am hoping to have at select shows as a give away to the fans and later on will sell as sets on the MWR Site or staff for only $1.00 a card.

These cards will be shipped to us in less than two weeks. . Look for promotions that are smart enough to book the NSE for your chance to purchase the MWR The Northstar Express wrestling card to attain an autograph card.

Wrestlers and sponsors that would like to be a part of the MWR Wrestling card series, please contact me at flairwhoooooo@yahoo.com

On December 19th in Council Bluffs, Iowa Missouri Wrestling Revival was invited to our exciting wrestling at Pro Wrestling Phoenix. This is the photo recap along with promos from all of your favorite PWP Stars. We start out with our effort to get an interview with wrestling superstar #1 Brett Young.

Enjoy and remember that PWP returns this Saturday!

The night began with the entire roster surrounding the ring to hear how exactly the new PWP Champion would be determined. We learned that there would be a series of qualifying matches, with the winners advancing to a battle royal later in the evening – when the battle royal came down to 2 men, it would become a one fall match to a finish to determine the NEW Pro Wrestling Phoenix Heavyweight Champion.

Up first, Darin Corbin of the Northstar Express said that his partner Ryan Cruz would be unable to compete – but that he had chosen a new partner – “The Anarchist” Arik Cannon. The team of Corbin & Cannon would challenge Chris Havius & Donnie Peppercricket for the PWP Tag Team Titles. This was a hard fought, back and forth contest, but in the end – Havius & Peppercricket retained, and would advance to the battle royal later on.

 

 

Pro Wrestling Phoenix Tag team Champions Chris Havius and Donnie Pepperctricket defeated Arik Cannon and Darin Corbin.

The Passion” Zac James defeated David Clark, but not without using the ropes for leverage – regardless, Zac then advanced to the battle royal.

“Babyface” Tony Cotez defeated Stephen Saint

Matty Star defeated Joey Daniels

Abu Colossus defeated #1 Brett Young to advance to the battle royal, after yet another miscommunication between Young & Daniels.

The Anarchist” Arik Cannon was not out of luck yet, as he still had his scheduled match with Jaysin Strife to try and get to the battle royal. This was an incredible matchup, hard hitting and exciting from start to finish. Just as it looked like Cannon had the match won, Strife surprised him with a quick roll up, scoring the victory, and advancing.
