MWR Holiday tour 2012 continues this weekend at St Louis Anarchy and Metro Pro Wrestling.

Posted by flairwhoooooo on December 2, 2012

December is the month of Santa Claus and a White Christmas but this year you can say that the wrestling is RED HOT!

Last weekend we were thrilled to join our friends at World League Wrestling and the Dynamo Presents GCW 5 reunion show to celebrate the holidays with two super shows.

We hope to see you this coming weekend for another blockbuster Holiday spectacular starting out in Alton, Illinois for St Louis Anarchy’s Yuletide Terror 2012 with a main event that we have been waiting for all year long, Davey Richards vs. Davey Vega.

Also on the card will be a Saint Louis Anarchy Title Match that will feature Dan Walsh vs. Darin Childs vs. Darin Corbin vs. Evan Gelistico with special guest referee: Adam Raw, “The Last Hero” ACH vs. TJ Perkins, the 2012 Gold Edition Winner Kyle O’ Reilly vs. Gerald James w/Family plus much more with a stack card.

Doors are at 6:15pm for all Golden ticket holders and 6:30pm for everyone else (this lets us make sure the Golden reserve get the proper seats).

Then the next night we will return to Kansas City for Metro Pro Wrestling in a grudge match between two of the most dominate wrestlers during the MWR years go at in a best of two out of three falls match. That’s right the MPW Champion Mark Sterling will meet Jeremy Wyatt in an all out war to lay claim for the title and bragging rights.

Also on the card.

A.C.H. will defend his Central States Championship against … Santa Claus? Santa claims he once had championship gold around his waist, but we have no records of title histories from the North Pole. You’ll have to see this to believe it! Metro Pro Tag Team Title Match: The Hooligans (c) vs. The Commission, as Commissioner Girthy has already granted them one more chance,Kansas Title Match: SBC (c) vs. “Rock ‘n Roll” Mike Sydal

It’s the holiday season and remember that spending time with your loved one at a wrestling show will be a great memory for many years to come.

Also be on the lookout for more upcoming Christmas cheer from your good friends at MWR as we look to see you at a show before we ring in the New Year.

The WLW Champion OTT was able to retain the title much to the chagrin to the Black Hand Warriors as he heads to Richmond, Missouri this Saturday Night to defend the title with special guest Lex Luger and great night of wrestling as Steve Regal and Ace Steel II lived up to the hype and much more.

The first big news coming from the 2012 camp is that the former WLW Champion Jason Jones will return to Japan’s Pro Wrestling Noah the first of 2013.

Jones moved to Eldon Missouri from North Carolina to train with the 8-time NWA Worlds Champion Harley Race to pursue his dream to be the best that he could be. This marks his second tour of Japan with Pro Wrestling NOAH, proving that his dedication is paying off.

During the week at the camp Jones was very instrumental in assisting the students in improving their skills, while teaching proper techniques and safety, first and foremost.
We are happy to say that in the past Jones has been a supporter and friend of MWR and we are thrilled to see him earn this tour for his hard work.

Look out in the near future for a sneak peak of the 2012 camp thanks to the hospitality of World League Wrestling and other top news coming out of the camp right here at Missouri Wrestling Revival.com, Your #1 source for pro wrestling news in the Midwest.

“Fabulous Freebird” Buddy Roberts passes away.

Posted by flairwhoooooo on November 29, 2012

Photobucket

Buddy Roberts, one-third of the legendary Fabulous Freebirds will forever be remembered  in a classic and memorable feud with the Von Erich’s in the 80’s.

Today, Roberts pass away and I am going to share with you a  photo and a match from his career that by now you have seen or at least should see. To be honest, I never saw Roberts wrestle in person and never spoke to him. Still to this day his image is fresh in my mind as the Freebirds and Von Erichs matches excited me as it did for many fans of that era.

Though this is a post talking about the superstar Buddy Roberts, my thoughts goes out to his son  second generation Buddy Roberts Jr. I have had the pleasure of meeting his son while covering MECW wrestling in Woodriver, Illinois a few times and have found him to be a great guy. I used to joke to him about the desire of getting him to come make an appearance to MECW so I could have the pleasure of meeting him. Roberts Sr. though at his age after years of touring the country on a daily basis during the territory leagues had slowed down while staying closer to home.

Buddy has worked hard the past few years to improve his skills and working with Pro Wrestling Blitz and including taking part in last year’s Harley Race’s World League Wrestling, Pro Wrestling NOAH and WWE camp that quite fittingly had special trainer Kevin Von Erich included with his sons Ross and Marshall in the camp as well. Thankfully the two wrestling families were very happy to see each other and a special moment was had by all.

It is with a heavy heart that I send our best wishes to Buddy Jr.  and his family during this moment in their lives, after losing a father myself last year I can attest to the fact that it is a very difficult time.

Rest in peace Buddy Roberts from everyone at Missouri Wrestling Revival.
