Dinner with the Legends 3- WWF “Attitude Era” and ECW legend Al Snow and wrestling icon, The Iron Sheik!

ROSS ANTHONY PROMOTIONS continues to deliver some of the must attend events of 2011!!

This time he has out done himself by not giving you the fans a chance to have dinner with not only one wrestling superstar but two.

First up is the former WWF(WWE) Champion the Iron Sheik !!

The Iron Sheik is a one of a kind. Throughout his career he has done it all, a former4 bodyguard, an Olympic wrestler, an actor and the man who ended the near 6 year long reign of WWF World Champion Bob Backlund.

Though his title reign would be short, his title match with the one and only Hulk Hogan would be one of the most memorable matches in the history of the sport.

Let’s take a look back at that historic evening.

MWR Fans do not miss this rare opportunity to have dinner with one of the most entertaining, controversial and successful wrestlers of the 80’s.

For the fans who was fortunate to see the classic WWF cartoon of the 80’s Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling they would be sure to talk about the Iron Sheik who was one of the classic bad guys. Let’s look back at an episode featuring the one and only Bobby “The Brain” Heenan called Driving Me Crazy

It is truly amazing that Ross has been able to bring the master of the camel clutch to the Midwest and I have my seat reserved already to meet the one and only Iron Sheik.

Don’t go anywhere MWR fans there is more!!!

Ross has also brought former ECW, WWE and TNA star Al Snow to the dinner for you to meet as well. Snow is truly one of the most influential men in the sport in the past 20 years. Al Snow is capable of doing it all. Need an exciting hardcore match? He can deliver. Need an aerial show he can do that as well. Comedy? There are very few that can compare to Al Snow .

Fans let’s look back at a classic entrance for ECW as Al Snow comes out with “Head”. A moment in wrestling that I will never forget as Joey Styles calls the moment and the match had not even started!

Al Snow would feud with the Rock with good friend Cactus Jack/ Mic Foley in WWE. The two always have had great chemistry when they got together.

Don’t believe me? Let’s look back.

Don’t hesitate and get your reservations today!!

1380 sports talk radio’s Jeff Vernetti teams up with LMC to take on Max Archer and Waco

Posted by flairwhoooooo on October 9, 2011

By Herb Simmons

Action returns to the East Carondelet Community Center when the MMWA/SICW continues to bring the fans some of the greatest action in the Midwest. Last show during the television taping for Charter Cable the fans witnessed Champion Ron Powers battle Chris Harges, with Harges having his head put through the wall and a table being broke and after having his hands full with Harges Powers managed to survive. He later became outraged with wrestling book author, play by play announcer and the voice of Wrestling Explosion Larry Matysik due to his name not being included in Matysik’s new book, “The fifty great wrestlers of all time”.

After they exchanged words Powers agreed to a challenge by Matysik that if he could beat an opponent of Matysik’s choosing then he would but Powers name in the new book. Matysik called upon Dave Vaughn to battle with Powers with the stipulation Powers had to beat Vaughn in five minutes or less. Powers couldn’t get the job done and about three minutes into the match Powers henchmen, Sean Vincent and the Big Texan entered the ring just as Vaughn had the sleeper hold locked onto Powers. With Vincent and Texan interfering this called for a DQ of Powers. As you know there shortly after I signed Powers to meet Vaughn on October 15th for the CWC title.

Also on October 15th a special match was signed. The bright new Star LMC came to the aid of ring announcer Jeff Vernetti who is a local DJ on 1380 sports talk radio in St. Louis when Max Archer and Waco attacked Vernetti for not interviewing them. I signed a match featuring LMC & Vernetti taking on Archer and Waco in a special tag match. All the 1380 sports talk radio fans will be coming out to support Jeff and LMC.

There will be five other outstanding matches to round out the television taping. For tickets or special group rates fans can call 618-286-4848.

Look forward to seeing you there.

Local Wrestlers Help in the Fight Against Cancer in Southern Illinois

Posted by flairwhoooooo on October 6, 2011

CARBONDALE, Ill. – All American Pro Wrestling and the American Cancer Society will team up this Saturday October 8, 2011 for their 5th Annual Benefit Show at Herrin Middle School.

Doors will open at 6 p.m. and bell time is scheduled for 7 p.m. and all proceeds will benefit the ACS.

Since AAPW’s inception, fundraising and awareness have been a cornerstone of the company. At their first show on October 7, 2006, AAPW raised over $5,500 for the Milani Charitable Trust to help pay the medical bills for then 2-year-old Abby Milani who suffered sever injuries in a fire.

“Our first show wasn’t just about starting a wrestling promotion,” said AAPW Owner and Promoter Sean Chambers, “It was about helping a family in Herrin that had fallen on difficult times. Friends, family, and complete strangers came out to help the Milani family and we realized we had something special and could do more than just put on a wrestling show.”

AAPW and ACS teamed up in 2007 and there has been at least one show dedicated to raising money and awareness for the ACS.

“This has become a yearly event that I and many of the boys in the locker room look forward too,” said AAPW Heavyweight Champion Edmund “Livewire” McGuire. “It’s a night where anything and everything can happen and the best part it all goes to a great cause that will benefit people in our region.”

Tickets for the event are available online at allamericanprowrestling.com and will be available at the door. Ticket prices on the day of the event are $10 for adults and $6 for children 12 and under. There will also be a 50/50 raffle as well as a raffle for Saluki Football tickets donated by Saluki Athletics.

AAPW is a locally owned and operated professional wrestling company that is in its fifth year of operation. Recently AAPW launched a new television show “AAPW Collision” on WSIL TV-3. Local talent includes the AAPW Tag Team Champions Curly and Heath Hatton, Jay Spade, Mike Masters, Playboy Paul Rose, and the AAPW Heavyweight Champion Edmund “Livewire” McGuire.

With Loving memory of Paul Steven Kelley (1954-2011)

Posted by flairwhoooooo on October 3, 2011

Truthfully my father was not really a fan of wrestling, he never watched it if I wasn’t there though he would call me on the phone if he saw a wrestler he knew on a show that they normally wasn’t on. A few times he would ride with to shows to provide me company for the normally 6 hour round trip. This picture here is one that I really enjoyed as dad rode with me and my nephew Marc to Lincoln Illinois for the PWE Balloon Festival show. After the show was over, I got some promos from some of the guys. Before we left I had a few wrestlers pose with the two of them. This one here is of a friend of mine the Mississippi Madman who was really great to dad as he had always been to every fan I ever saw him with. When we got out to the car, dad had an autograph MWR card of the Future Donovan Ruddick and I laughed and asked why he bought one when I have some I could of just had given him one if he wanted in the car that he didn’t have to buy it . He just smiled and said he knew but he wanted to support what I was doing with the wrestlers. For 37 years dad was there for me, my sister, mom, family and friends. We love you dad!

Last Wednesday night, I went to check on my father Paul Steven Kelley at his home. When I entered his home I was shocked and sadden to see that at the young age of 57 that he had passed away.

My sister Dominique and I were blessed to not only have an awesome father but a great grandfather and a true friend.

Words cannot express what dad meant in our world so I won’t even try.

Thankfully, we have such a great group of family and friends in our time of sorrow. Dad would have been proud of the support that they have helped comfort us. We had many friends that we hoped would be there and they didn’t disappoint, we also had many that we didn’t know cared as much for Dad and us and I hope that they know how much that truly meant to us.

God Bless each and everyone of you.

I always joked that wrestling was the first love of my life when in actuality there is nothing more important that family.

I cried for 5 days that my father will never get to see the little things in my life like the fun I had in the video of myself representing ECW Press on ST Louis TV for Larry Matysik’s book and the after math that ensued or that he didn’t get to see the big moments to come when my son Josh will have his first child.

Yet, I am thankful for the 37 years that he was a part of our lives.

Dad was a fun loving, good hearted guy who would give you his last dollar. He may of not been perfect but he was perfect for us.

For my friends in the world of wrestling if I have not taken your phone call, respond to your e-mail or work on a post for your upcoming show, I know that you understand that the pain in my heart has been very heavy. With over 1,700 post over 4 years here at MWR supporting many others that I care, this one is for my family.

I hope to have some desire to be  back  at MWR by the end of the week .

Till then take care of yourself, your family and love one another.
