Amy Hennig receives the 2010 MWR Female wrester of the Year plaque.

To many she is the granddaughter to wrestling great Larry the Ax Hennig and daughter to the one and only “Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig but to the fans of the Midwest and her opponents she has been known as a fierce competitor.

Trained by the 8-time NWA World Champion Harley Race wrestling Academy she was a quick learner who improved with every match. When she debut on July 26, 2008 she would be put to the fire in a match with then WLW Women’s champion Stacey O’Brien in front of a packed crowd in Eldon Missouri. Though the veteran O’Brien would go on to become the MWR Female wrestler of the year in 2008, fans quickly noticed that Amy was far from living of the family name.

By the end of the year she had improved so much to win her very first WLW Women’s title by beating O’ Brien on Oct 24th in Warsaw Missouri. O’Brien would be able to regain the title shortly after that but Amy was just getting started.

With each match you could see the confidence and experience improve and frustrate her opponents. In 2010 she would capture her third WLW Women’s title in a three way match with powerhouse Becca Swanson and rising young star Lucy Mendez.

Throughout the year she would dominate the competition thus earning her the 2010 MWR Female wrestler of the year.

Dave Hebner screws Mike Sydal!!!

Posted by flairwhoooooo on October 30, 2011

By Brian Kelley

When former tag team partners Mike Sydal and Brandon Espinosa met in one on one action at the very popular POPS nightclub and concert venue in Sauget Illinois , no one in attendance was prepared for the shocking ending of the match.

That is , other than Brandon Espinosa. Espinosa quickly let the crowd know that he was not amused to be at the bar scene to wrestle as he is straight edge. No drugs and no drinking and the fans in attendance should be blessed to be able to witness him at POPS which in his mind a disgusting establishment . Then he diverted his attention to referee Eric Davis. Espinosa stated that he had personal problems with Davis in the past and had made arrangements with the promoter of Underground Wrestling to bring an unbiased referee for such an important matchup.

Then to the crowds delight he announced that it was former WWE referee Dave Hebner. As two of the top stars in the Midwest matched movefor move in a classic battle Sydal was able to hit a big move and looked to have a three count for the win when ….Dave Hebner counted one..two ….then went to tie his boots????

When Hebner finally got to the mat for the count Espinosa had been able to recover to kick out of the three count. That was the opening that Espinosa needed as he would be able to get in a cheap shot from the back to roll up Sydal for a quick count from Hebner to steal the win.

It was obvious to the fans that Hebner had screwed Sydal out of having the bragging rights on his former partner.

PWP Wrestlevania results.

Posted by flairwhoooooo on October 30, 2011

The evening started out with Matty Star coming to the ring and welcoming the fans back to PWP after our absence. He remarked that he would become the best PWP Champion of all time! This caused “Babyface” Tony Cortez to come out, and explain to Star that he would become a 3 Time PWP Champion before the night is over.

*** “The Beautiful Bodies” Brian Gott & Derek Cornell defeated “The Passion” Zac James & “Canadian Sex Icon” Ryan Slade w/ “Manager Supreme” Axel Greece to win the PWP Tag Team Championship, ending James & Slade’s 14 month title reign! What a way to kick off PWP’s return to action with an old rivalry renewed one last time! The bodies had the upper hand but then as they picked up Zac James to delver their finishing maneuver, they ran into the referee knocking him down! Axel Greece got in the ring with the flag pole, however the Bodies were able to use it against him, and Cornell nailed Zac James with a Death Valley Driver to get the pin and finally become Tag Team Champions! After the match, Zac James attacked the referee, and has been suspended for 60 days. In addition to that, James & Slade have been stripped of their contractual right to a Tag Team Championship rematch.

*** Shawn Nautilus defeated Jeff O’Shea. This was as close to David Vs. Goliath as you can get, as everything newcomer O’Shea threw at Shawn just wasn’t enough. Nautilus was toying with O’Shea throughout the match, pulling him up after every pin attempt. Finally, after using his speed and agility to nail an insane tornado DDT, O’Shea almost picked up the upset, but Shawn kicked out. One vicious chokeslam later, and O”Shea was down for the count.

*** Joey Daniels defeated Buck Albright. Buck had a lot of supporters in the crowd and had Joey reeling, but in the end, Joey was able to nail his finisher, and get a quick pin on Buck. After the match, Daniels said he was sick of wasting time, and next month, he wants a shot at the new tag champs, the Beautiful Bodies. He said that he will find a partner, and when they win, they will be the #1 tag team in PWP.

*** “Sensational” Sean Cruz defeated “Unbreakable” Zach Thompson & “The Rockstar” Jimmy Rockwell in a Triple Threat Match. This match consisted of Thompson and Rockwell taking turns beating on Cruz, and talking a lot of smack to him. Cruz was able to nail Thompson with his finisher, and then get the quick roll up on Rockwell for the win! Afterwards, Rockwell attacked Cruz. Thompson pulled Rockwell off of Cruz, but then started in on him himself! Thompson & Rockwell shook hands and went to the locker room.

*** Vic Victory defeated Preston Maxwell. Vic Victory called out Branden Juarez, intending to make him pay for his actions last May, however, Juarez said he didn’t have time to deal with Victory, but he had an old friend who he could face instead. Preston Maxwell attacked Victory from behind, and the match was on. Victory learned the effects of high risk maneuvers as he missed a moonsault to the floor early on which gave Maxwell the advantage. This was a lot of back and forth action, as both former PWP Heavyweight Champions vied for position. Victory finally nailed his Headscissors Piledriver to gain the win. Almost immediately, Branden Juarez hit the ring to attack Victory, however, Darren “Thunder” Russell was on his tail! Maxwell and Victory fought outside the ring, and the referee rang the bell for the next match!

*** Branden Juarez & Darren “Thunder” Russell wrestled to a No Contest. This turned into a wild brawl all over the Armory, and both men hurled each other into walls, chairs and garage doors! Back in the ring, it seemed Russell had the upper hand on Juarez, when Preston Maxwell ran back out, and caused the No Contest. Vic Victory was right behind him, and Victory & Russell were pummeling both men in the turnbuckles. Shawn Nautilus came out of nowhere, and delivered a double clothesline to both Victory and Russell, followed by two of the most brutal chokeslams ever witnessed by the PWP fans! Juarez, Maxwell and Nautilus established themselves as a new force to be reckoned with in PWP, as Victory and Russell were helped to their feet and into the locker room.

*** Matty Star defeated “Babyface” Tony Cortez to retain the PWP Heavyweight Championship. This was a real treat to the fans, a battle between two of the most popular PWP roster members! Cortez seemed to be toying with Star a bit, but Star was there to make an example out of Cortez and prove to the fans he belongs on top. Matty eventually nailed his Top Rope Falcon Arrow, and it is just such a spectacle you have to see it to believe it. It was enough to keep Cortez down and give Matty his first successful title defense. The crowd wouldn’t believe what happened next, as Branden Juarez ran into the ring, nailed Star with a Piledriver and held up the PWP Heavyweight Championship, saying “It’s just borrowed time”, clearly implying he intends to become the next PWP Heavyweight Champion. Star recovered, and said if Juarez wanted a fight, all he had to do was ask, instead of sneaking around like a coward all the time.

This was a great comeback for the PWP fans, and as a special treat, we had a costume contest, which was won by loyal PWP fan Daniel Gilchrist, who came dressed as the Riddler!

PWP returns November 12, 2011, just three weeks away! Details coming VERY soon!
