5. 3XW Heavyweight Title – Jeremy Wyatt (c) and 3XW Tag Team champion Ben Sailer went to a 15-minute draw in an incredibly technical, mat-based battle that received a standing ovation from many in the crowd. Many, many techniques never seen before in 3XW utilized here. Must see stuff.

7. In a first-ever Genesis vs. Genesis member battle, Zach Thompson pinned AJ Smooth in seconds. Both men were accompanied by Todd Countryman, who distracted Smooth as the bell rang allowing Thompson to roll him up for the pin. Smooth was very upset that Countryman, the leader of Genesis, clearly sided with Thompson as the man to represent Genesis in the finals against Slade. Smooth lost to Slade in July in a incredible Canadian Tuxedo match which featured both men giving their all.

8. Mike Sydal defeated The Mauler with Chad Mylan, pinning him after a series of moves culminating with a flying crossbody off the top rope and savvy pinning technique. The final moments of the bout saw American Bulldogs manager Skylar Pierce chasing MMA manager Chad Mylan around the ringside area and eventually out the main door.

10. Ryan Slade is the 2011 King of Des Moines, beating Zach Thompson with Todd Countryman after knocking Countryman off the ring apron and nailing Thompson with a devastating Canadian Destroyer for the pin.

Immediately following the bout, 3XW Tag Team champions American Ground & Air (Ben Sailer & Nate Bash, representing Genesis) ran to the ring and began assaulting Slade. Fellow Genesis member AJ Smooth came out with a Canadian flag and as Sailer and Bash held Slade up for an attack, Smooth shockingly hit his stablemates Sailer and Bash to the delight of the crowd.

In an emotional moment, a confused Slade cautiously – and eventually fully – shook Smooth’s hand as a variation of the Canadian anthem began to play as fans gave a standing ovation to the reunion of former long-time 3XW tag team Sexy and Smooth.

Last year the MWR Awards committee spent hours and hours watching matches and arguing over who deserved each award. One match that everyone agreed on was between “The Belt Collector” Jeremy Wyatt and then Ring of Honor World Champion Tyler Black at 3XWrestling April 2nd Spring Showdown card in Des Moines Iowa.

Spring Showdown at 3Xwrestling was a monumental night of pro wrestling featuring one of the top wrestlers in the Midwest proving to the world that he could hang with the Champion of the World.

The two wrestled to a 30-minute time limit draw in an incredible wrestling match that earned a standing ovation from the crowd after the final bell. The last minute of the match saw referee Jeromy Robb inadvertently get crushed in the corner by both men and fall to the canvas. Black quickly nailed Wyatt with a tremendous reverse brainbuster and covered him for the pin, only there was no ref to count the pin. As Black was checking on the ref in the corner, Wyatt slowly rose to his feet and grabbed Black from behind, slamming him hard with his patented Kansas Tumbleweed (Lightning Spiral) and covering him for the pin with 20 seconds remaining, only for the ref to still be out. Wyatt screamed and pleaded for the ref to get up to no avail and he even counted the pin himself. The time then ran out before a winner could be determined but the fans gave a standing ovation.

Tyler Black was unable to be there at the time as he continues to impress many in Florida,under WWE’s developmental company FCW under his new name Seth Rollins.
