Golden Circle: Chemistry 101 By Greg Anthony

Posted by flairwhoooooo on June 25, 2010

Chemistry, to most people, is the science of matter. How molecules, atoms, etc react and interact with each other. In wrestling its pretty much the same thing except there is no science to it. In chemistry if you take part “A” and mix it with part “B” then it creates part “C”. In Wrestling if you take part “A” and mix it with part “B” sometimes you get part “C” but sometimes you get shit!

You never know, for sure, who is going to mesh well with who. Just because you have two great workers doesn’t mean you have a for sure 5 Star match(Rating system is a trademark of RRO News and Brian Tramel and may not be reproduced without the express written consent of RRO). Same goes for two not so great workers. I’ve seen two guys that really didn’t have much going for them but for some reason they gelled really well together. It’s a crap shoot; it’s the world letting us know that there are no guarantees in life.

Prime example, I saw Shawn Michaels vs. Mr.Perfect! How could that possibly be bad? They just didn’t get in a good groove and Shawn even mentions it in his book. Motley Cruz is a guy that I have a lot of respect for inside the ring. When I was TLCW champion we got a chance to work one another for the first time in a long time. We had high expectations but when we got to the match we both were waiting for the other to call the match or take the lead and it ended up being a very bland match.

Maybe wrestling isn’t as complex as advance chemistry but it isn’t kindergarten stuff either. There really isn’t a substitute for good chemistry in wrestling. Rock/Austin, Flair/Sting… the list goes on and on. Because it’s not the moves that we remember but the feeling we get from those who have immeasurable chemistry. So don’t watch for that forgettable high spot but rather that unforgettable feeling this business can produce on any given night.

This past weekend in Florida the Midwest Sweetheart Santana G teamed up with former WWE/WCW Star Sean “SYXX –Pac” to take on Mister Saint Laurent and Becky Bayless at I Believe in Wrestling show in Orlanda Florida. MWR Fans are always asking me where and how is Santana G. Lets take a look at this important match with fellow New World Order Member Syxx-Pac.

You will not want to miss the show on July 17th in Farmington Missouri as these two lovely ladies show you how women’s wrestling was meant to be. Also on the card will be the WLW Champion Trevor Murdoch will be in a Leather strap match!!

PRO WRESTLING EPIC RETURNS THIS SATURDAY!

Posted by flairwhoooooo on June 22, 2010

We are just under a week away from Pro Wrestling Epic’s return to Mount Pulaski, IL on Saturday, June 26. Here is an in depth look at the main event match.

THE TALE OF THE TAPE…

TYLER BLACK:

Height: 6 ft 1in

Weight: 220 lbs.

Trained By: DANNY DANIELS

Years Pro: 5

-Current Ring of Honor Champion

: BRANDON AARONS:

Height: 6 ft

Weight: 170 lbs.

Trained By: DINGO

Years Pro: 4

– -Current Pro Wrestling Epic U.S. Champion

IHW Heavyweight Champion

After capturing his first PWE championship title, back in April, with an impressive victory over then United States Champion Mark Sterling, Brandon Aarons looks to prove that he is not just the flavor of the month in Pro Wrestling Epic.

Aarons looks to gain respect as he prepares for arguably the toughest challenge of his young career, when he steps into the ring with current Ring Of Honor World Champion, Tyler Black.

To followers of the independent professional wrestling landscape, Tyler Black is a staple, not only because of his present status in ROH, but also because of his legitimate claim to being one of the top pro wrestlers on the planet, having been ranked at #17 on Pro Wrestling Illustrated Magazine’s “PWI 500” in 2009.

While Brandon Aarons is not yet a household name across the globe, he has spent the better part of the last year, establishing himself one victory at a time defeating some of the best talent that the midwest has to offer.

Key wins over current NWA Central States Champion Mark Sterling,as well as Mike Sydal, (brother of WWE superstar Evan Bourne), both of whom he defeated for their respective titles, have helped to raise the stock of Brandon Aarons in Pro Wrestling Epic.

In addition to those accomplishments, Aarons is also the current flagship of Independent Hardcore Wrestling, having held the Heavyweight title since February.

Can his momentum carry him to the next level of what can only be decribed as his breakout year? Find out on June 26 in Mt. Pulaski.
