Missouri Wrestling Revival

By Pierre Abernathy

As match maker of Saint Louis Anarchy I my number one responsibility is to you the fans and I have some news to share as it relates to Circus Maximus 2013.

As you know from following our live events Gary Jay has been in quite the heated feud with Rachel Summerlyn. At Gateway to Anarchy we saw Jay attack Rachel which lead to the shocking attack by Dan Walsh. This attack hurt Rachel and that is why she is not on the upcoming The Calm Before event. However Rachel was slated to come back at Circus Maximus 2013 to headline with Gary Jay in a 10,000 thumbtack match.

I am saddened to report that Rachel has learned from her doctor that she cannot compete as of now and due to a lingering neck injury she will need to be out of action for some time. I want to take this time to wish Rachel Summerlyn a speedy recovery and to also thank her for all the hard work she has done for the Anarchy brand. She is a example of a athlete that legit gave you her body in the ring and for that she deserves your thanks.

Saint Louis Anarchy is built on the principle of having a roster of the best wrestlers in the USA as well as a group of hungry up and coming guys who want to break out and show what they can do to a bigger audience. I am proud that under our banner people have seen guys like Davey Vega, ACH, Mat Fitchett, Gary Jay and others grow. As well as watching people learn how good guys like The Hooligans, Evan Gelsitico, Dan Walsh and Darin Corbin are. Too round that out happen to be some of the best wrestlers in the world like Davey Richards, TJ Perkins, Kyle O’ Reilly and Arik Cannon.

Then you have the up and coming and guys looking to make a statement. Guys like Jo Jo Bravo and Bolt Brady. Wrestlers like Jordan Lacey who have been around the area for years giving you everything they have to entertain you. I am proud to give these men and woman a stage to preform and try and become stars in wrestling. So its with that I say at Circus Maximus 2013 I will give someone a chance to show you all what he can do, A chance to main event what you the fans have made the biggest show of the year for us. At Circus Maximus 2013 Khris Wolfe will step in and face Gary Jay in a 10,000 Thumbtack match.

Allot of you may not know much about Khris Wolfe. Wolfe was trained by the wrestler known as The Necro Butcher and has fought in hardcore/death matches all over the state of Texas. Wolfe has made appearances for Saint Louis Anarchy before but nothing like what will happen at Circus Maximus. Known for his vicious elbow strikes he may be one of the only guys on the roster who can match Gary Jay in the striking department.

Wolfe was the hand picked replacement by myself as well as Rachel when we learned she would be unable to compete. This will be the first ever 10,000 thumbtack match in the history of SLA and as far as I am aware the history of Saint Louis area wrestling. It will be brutal, bloody and insane…… It will be the Circus Maximus 2013 main event.

On May 10 and May 11, the Argosy Casino in Alton, Illinois (a suburb north of St. Louis along the Mississippi River) is presenting the Legends of St. Louis Wrestling. On hand will be Harley Race, Baron Von Raschke, Cowboy Bob Orton, Gerry Brisco, Greg Valentine and former Wrestling at the Chase commentator Larry Matysik. On May 10, it will be a meet-and-greet followed by a question and answer period with all of those on hand. Frank Cusumano of KSDK-tv, Channel 5, will be the host.

The next night – May 11 – the legends will be on hand for a Southern Illinois Championship Wrestling card promoted by Herb Simmons. Among the independent stars on hand will be Ron Powers, Ricky Cruz, Bull Schmitt and Flash Flanagan. The intention of the casino is that their relation with Simmons and Matysik will be successful and they will present a show every three or four months perhaps with an appearance of a St. Louis legend.

TJ Perkins has wrestled around the world with many of the top promotions including Ring of Honor, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, Dragon Gate USA, Evolve and in Japan for New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Known for his speed and excellent technical skills, he has had a couple of matches for both WWE and TNA, but there is no doubt that the best is yet to come  for a young man with his pure talent.

TJ Perkins high flying moves has brought the fans to their feet with moves such as the 520° corkscrew springboard tornado DDT and 450° splash.

Right here in the Midwest fans have been thrilled to see Perkins in action recently at Metro Pro Wrestling where he challenged Jeremy Wyatt for the MPW title as well as St. Louis Anarchy. His match for the ACW Anarchy Championship held by ACH at St. Louis Anarchy’s “Gateway to Danarchy”, on 2/25/2012 garnered a mention of the top matches of 2012 from the website wallsofjerichoholic.

It is with great excitement that we are to announce that the number two trading card in the MWR Series two is none other than TJ Perkins.
