Editor’s note: The wrestling manager the Magic Man has been a star in Japan in the past and most recently been involved with two of the top promotions in the Midwest NWA Dynamo and the 2011 MWR promotion of the year Metro Pro Wrestling.

This past weekend, the Magic Man made his way to Chicago, Illinois for the IPPV “Enter the Dragon”. The Magic Man was thrilled with seeing some old friends and meeting new ones while having an opportunity to entertain the fans.

It’s no secret that the Magic Man has been a longtime friend of MWR and truly one of the good guy. If I was a promoter he would be one of the first men that I called as I could trust that he would give his best for each and every fan.

Now for words from the Magic Man.

Dragon Gate USA “Enter The Dragon” 3rd Year Anniversary Celebration was held at The Congress Theater in Chicago, IL on Sunday, July 29th. Dragon Gate CIMA requested that “Magic Man” perform magic entertainment in the DG USA ring either before the show or during intermission….

I decided to perform during the intermission. The entire card from top to bottom was an incredible line-up of talent. I was treated like royalty with much respect by the stars and staff of Dragon Gate USA and was also invited to perform in Japan with them sometime in the future if we can arrange a schedule for that.

The fans attending the July 29th Chicago show were very good to me and responded with cheers of joy when I appeared and performed a few classics of magic in the ring for them. I can’t say enough about how great the fans were to me and how good I was treated by the wrestlers and staff of DG USA. This was definitely one of my better road trips in the business and I am so happy that I decided to travel to attend this historic event.

I was there to witness CIMA & AR Fox battle Ricochet & Rich Swann and defeat them to win the first ever Tag-Team Championship titles for DG USA. It was also good to hang out with Akira Tozawa, Rich Swann, AR Fox, Samurey del Sol, Shane Hollister, Arik Cannon, Masada, Christina von Erie, Pinkie Sanchez, Zero Gravity, The Scene, Johnny Gargano, Jon Davis, Chuck Taylor, Super Smash Brothers, Jake Manning, and all the rest of the workers.

It makes me happy to have so many great friends in this business!!!

—The Magic Man

MWR Trading Card #86 “Sweet” Saraya Knight

Posted by flairwhoooooo on July 28, 2012

In today’s wrestling world there are many sexy women that grace the ring but there are very few that can say that they are sexy and a badass as well. Saraya Knight leads the pack in that department in 2012 and has earned the respect of the wrestling world the hard way during her 23 years in the sport. While learning her trade as a pro wrestler, Saraya Knight put up and took down the rings prior to becoming the legend in her home in England.

Nicknamed “Sweet”, Saraya is anything but kind to her sends fear to not only her opponents but the fans as well, some says that she is just truly nasty.

Saraya is the Queen of the Knight wrestling family that includes her husband “Rowdy “ Ricky Knight, and daughters Britani Knight (WWE’s Paige) and her two sons Zak Zodiac and The Zebra Kid. The Knight family have entertained millions of fans over the years.

American Fans have found out quickly that she is the real deal, while debuting at SHIMMER she was involved in a classic feud with her daughter in a No Disqualification match on Volume 44, where Britani managed to pick up the win over her mother in her final Shimmer appearance, before heading to Florida Championship Wrestling.

Yet the wily, confident and experienced Saraya masterfully set the wheels in motion to not only rebound but become the prestigious SHIMMER Champion by defeating arch rival Cheerleader Melissa March 18 on Volume 48, 2012.

One of the toughest, meanest wrestlers in the sport Saraya will be the first to give you a piece of her mind. For the fans who have never seen Saraya Knight, imagine an unfiltered Stone Cold Steve Austin in a women’s body and you have the one and only “Sweet” Saraya.

This fall she will invade NCW: Femmes Fatales in Montreal in November.

Canada will never be the same!!

With a great card that features great artwork from the red hot artist Raven Johnson and Michael Liao, it is with great honor and pleasure that MWR has produced the first ever trading card for the ultra -talented “Sweet” Saraya Knight.

Exclusive comments from Larry Matysik on Matt Murphy

Editors Note:  MWR and SICW fans have seen here on the site the disgruntlement of “All That” Matt Murphy as he felt he was “set up” during his debut at SICW against Alexander Rudolph.

For those that are new to the site let me please get you caught up to date on this war of words that we thought would simmer down but in fact Murphy’s continued comments has had both SICW promoter Herb Simmons and now booker and legend Larry Matysik to speak out.

SICW promoter Herb Simmons responds to “All That” Matt Murphy.  July 13

“Murphy vows to destroy SICW” ? July 22, 2012

This leads us to an e-mail from our friend Larry Matysik on this heated subject.

While I truly dislike getting involved in online or website verbal battles, I guess the time has come to respond to some recent rants from Matt Murphy.

Let’s make a couple things clear.  Nobody is more respectful of the guys in the ring than me, and that respect is for every single performer, not just the all-time greats or the big stars.  Doing pro wrestling is demanding and dangerous.  Everyone at every level pays his or her dues.  They battle to achieve their dream, which is obviously no easy task.

That’s true for Matt Murphy.  He’s always been a terrific performer, lots of knowledge and spunk.  His tag team with Superstar Steve was a dandy duo.  Matt fought through a horrendous auto accident.  He kept his hunger despite the unforgiving politics of this business. He wrote an outstanding book.  And, golly, with all of that background, how could he have been caught by surprise when he came to SICW and was battered by young powerhouse Alexander Rudolph?

I know promoter Herb Simmons was happy to have Murphy agree to wrestle in SICW.  So was I.  He’s good.  He’s quality.  But, he fell asleep at the wheel and didn’t do his homework.  Rudolph is driving toward a shot at the Classic Championship currently owned by Ricky Cruz.  Matt just failed in the scouting he usually would do and paid the price.

Now, with Murphy’s return on Aug. 18 at East Carondelet, he gets the opportunity to rebound.  In the great tradition of St. Louis wrestling, this is when Matt Murphy can prove how good he really is.  Every great star bounced back from tough losses.  And I mean everyone from Thesz to Race, from Bruiser to Flair, from Kiniski to O’Connor.  The ball is in Matt Murphy’s court – and not to talk or complain, but to deliver the goods when the bell sounds.

As to Matt’s complaints about me and Herb Simmons, everyone is welcome to his own opinion.  I know this; I learned from someone like Sam Muchnick who never took a bump, and from Wild Bill Longson and Gene Kiniski who certainly did.  Furthermore, Nick Bockwinkel explained to me how NOT being a performer often made people like Sam, Vince McMahon Sr., Wally Karbo in Minneapolis, Frank Tunney in Toronto and – wow – even me more insightful about the business because we had no preconceived ideas about what works and what doesn’t.

Forget all that though.  Don’t rip the remarkable tradition of St. Louis wrestling, which Herb fights so doggedly to preserve.  Don’t pick on Gary Jackson, or bookers, or referees.  Bluntly, I don’t care what you say about me, for I’m comfortable with what I’ve done in pro wrestling.  I do care about what St. Louis means to wrestling.  It comes down to this.

Matt Murphy – put up or shut up IN THE RING.  On Aug. 18 at the East Carondelet Community Center, you can start to build a winning streak and demonstrate your skills.  Show everyone what a competitor you are inside the squared circle.  No talk.  Action.

And, surprisingly despite your complaints about me or anyone else, we all think you are good enough to deserve this chance.  Let’s see if you have what it takes in the ring.
