Jack Gamble and Jon Webb enters Japan’s Pro Wrestling Noah this Month, First match on April 11th vs. Mohammed Yone & Atsushi Kotoge

Posted by flairwhoooooo on March 22, 2015

One of the top tag teams in the Midwest, Jack Gamble and Jon Webb (High Level Enterprise) will be making their way to train at the Pro Wrestling Noah dojo this week in Japan. Both of these men have been trained by the Hall of Famer around the world, Harley Race at World League Wrestling, before thrilling fans around the Midwest. This will be the second tour of Japan for the ladies favorite Jon Webb, as Jack Gamble will be debuting for the very first time. Both men have wisely taken part in the annual WLW, WWE, NOAH camps that Harley Race host each fall that have allowed the opportunity to be seen from the best minds in the sport.

Harley Race is a legend in Japan to this day. Here is a great photo of Race in a former visit in Japan for WLW.

When Jon Webb returned from his time in the Pro Wrestling Dojo, you could see the improvements ten-fold as he continued to capture titles with Gamble as well as become one of the top favorites at Dynamo Pro Wrestling, so with both men training together there look for the two to gel like never before.

It has been announced that they will meet the very exciting duo of Mohammed Yone & Atsushi Kotoge on April 11th. Atsushi Kotoge is a former  GHC Junior Heavyweight Champion and a two-time GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion.  Mohamedo Yone is  a multi-time GHC Tag Team Champion himself so it goes without saying that HLE will be sent into the fire from the start.

Missouri Wrestling Revival has always been honored to cover both of these hard working men during their career and we wish them the very best as they continue to learn and improve at Pro Wrestling NOAH.

WLW kicks off the new year, wrestling will start with WLW Tag Team Champions and soon-to-be-Japanese wrestling stars – High Level Enterprise (Jack Gamble & Jon Webb) facing off against John E. Rock and Jamell Harris.

The next match will have Dave Delorean going one-on-one with Kyle Roberts.

Ladies wrestling returns as WLW Ladies Champion Stacey O’Brien will defend her championship against former champion – Miss Natural. This match was demanded by Natural, and was granted due to a rematch clause with the championship.

MWR VS RING OF HONOR

Posted by flairwhoooooo on January 25, 2015

I have been sitting here for the past couple of months speaking to fans about many of the great wrestling shows in the near future. Recently Proving Ground Pro ,Pro Wrestling Championship Series, High Risk Wrestling and St Louis Anarchy that have  exciting events that featured Ring of Honor Superstars Tommaso Ciampa, reDRagon, Jimmy Jacobs, and A.C.H.

That got me talking to several fans, promoters and wrestlers in the area to fantasy book a star studded night of wrestling that would feature wrestlers from the MWR coverage area and those from one of the hardest hitting promotions in the world today, Ring of Honor.

I tried to find matches that have not been done in this area (If so very rare) that promised to be hard hitting matches that could match any in the world today. After taking a moment to check out the list, feel free to send in your choices for this supercard.

Who did we miss? Was there a better match-ups?

Please note that is all for fun and in no way do I feel there should be this many matches on a card, but in good fun we will imagine this is a supercard double shot.

Ron Powers vs Michael Elgin

 photo michaelelgin2_zpsuwq9pktv.png

 photo IMG_6168_zpsialfjkzj.jpg

In a battle between two of the most powerful men in the Midwest in the past thirty years Michael Elgin vs Ron Powers would be a sight to see. Though Powers is several years older, we have seen at SICW that he can be down right scary for his opponents . I love big men and have been thrilled to photographed these two throughout the past 6 years . Each of them are old school in their approach in the fact that they give the fans a 100 percent each and every night and I would love to lock horns in the middle of the ring in 2015.

The Black Hand Warriors vs reDRagon

 photo 0a_zpsy9uleyxx.jpg

 photo fish_kyle_zpstnz3emup.jpg

Out of nowhere the Black Hand Warriors came in 2014 to become one of the best tag teams in the Midwest. A double champion at Harley Race’s World League Wrestling  and Dynamo Pro Wrestling under the tutelage of Travis Cook, they have been involved in some of exciting wars with the BumRush Brothers and High Level Enterprise. I feel as if reDRagon are the best tag team in the world today, and have been pleading for the promoter of High Risk Wrestling , Frank Thurman to sign this match.

Jeremy Wyatt vs. Alberto El Patrón

 photo 35_zps44027f17.jpg

 photo alberto2_zps06um139s.png

To be honest I could put Jeremy Wyatt in a match with a new student of Ring of Honor and I have no doubt that it would be among the best matches on the card.  Alberto El Patrón  has the wealth, the title history advantage of a 4-time World Champion, but if I know the Rebel as well as I do he would not wilt under pressure, thus making this is an historic match that would be talked about for years.

 photo mpppp_zps8iyhzwln.jpg

Editors note: Metro Pro Wrestling delivers to their fans THIS Friday night an exciting Jeremy Wyatt match against a Ring of Honor Superstar Christopher Daniels in Kansas City. This will be the second ever match between two of the most exciting stars in the country and a match that promises to be one of the best matches of 2015.

01/31/2015 Metro Pro Wrestling (Turner Recreation Center) 831 S. 55th St. Kansas City, KS 66106 Doors open at 6:15 p.m. Event starts at 7 p.m. Front Row: $20 General Admission: $15 Kids 5-12 (Does not count front row): $10 Under 5: Free

Darin Corbin vs. R.D.Evans

 photo DC_zpscgmnmnkc.jpg

 photo rdevansbio_0_zpswmbhywwl.png

I have a feeling that this match has been done before, and if so it makes sense. Both of these men are highly entertaining, and able to deliver an enjoyable match that would be very different that the series battles that we mentioned above.

Jake Dirden vs. Tommaso Ciampa

 photo tommaso2_zpsvlh8joap.png

 photo jake-dirden_zps4mjcakik.jpg

I once heard Jake Dirden say in an interview that he looked forward to wrestling against Ciampa; therefor I offer him the opportunity in my dream card. Honestly, this match would be very awesome as Ciampa is very capable of bringing out the beast in Dirden, and it maybe for the best as he will have to be at the top of his game to survive a focused Ciampa.

The Hooligans vs. The Briscoe Brothers

 photo tumblr_m5az8dj0qM1r3fvlyo1_500_zpsr5vttykn.png

 photo 550563_515213985185032_389463958_n_zpsjfisgmyp.jpg

My favorite Tag team today, the Briscoe Brothers meeting the#1 ranked  tag team in the Midwest during the MWR years. The Hooligans and the Briscoe Brothers are an obvious choice.

Mark Sterling vs. MOOSE

 photo moose2_zpsfs9kcxrc.png

 photo 48_zps65653acc.jpg

Mark Sterling has been a man that is considered to be among the most talented men in the Midwest.  I feel that deserves a spot at the E  for his work ethic and dedication in the ring. . Moose , a former NFL football player has the size and charisma to rise to the top of the sport, so it would be interesting to pit a man with a chip on his shoulder like Sterling against an Indy darling so young in his career in the one and only Moose.

Davey Vega vs. Christopher Daniels

 photo IMG_4856_zpszyuvybb5.jpg

 photo danielsfull_zps3qsvkrab.png

Vega has proved to many in 2014 that he is capable of defeating Ring of Honor Superstars, and a win against the ultra-talented , highly versatile Christopher Daniels would cement his reputation.

The Young Bucks vs. High Level Enterprise

 photo 426a85dcd1a4d488fd9c63ffd59459b3_zpsowcf8ssw.jpg

 photo 3_zpscncrng4b.jpg

The battle of the Superkicks will be the name of the game when these two go at it. Jon Webb fresh off of his training with the Pro Wrestling NOAH Dojo, has returned to his partner Jack Gamble to train at the Harley Race Wrestling Academy becoming a team that is capable of challenging the world traveled team of the Young Bucks.

Ricky Cruz vs. Jay Lethal

 photo 19_zpsca2910a6.jpg

 photo lethalbio_zpsk6iuuod8.png

Ricky Cruz is well known for his big win capability throughout his career in the Midwest. The exciting Jay Lethal would bring the ferociousness in their match to test Ricky Cruz as the true King of Chaos.

Mike Sydal vs Matt Sydal

 photo mattsydal2_zpsykofklee.png

 photo 68_zps9469ad98.jpg

I normally hate good guy vs. good guy matches to be honest. Yes, I could have pitted them as a team against the likes of the Viking War Party, the New Midnight Express or the Professionals that would be awesome, but instead decided to have a match on the card to show why I feel as if Mike Sydal is one of the most under-utilized men in the sport today.

Brandon Espinosa vs. AJ Styles

 photo espy_zps7ewhhvay.jpg

 photo ajstyles_zpsetl13mfq.png

The ultra talented Brandon Espinosa has shown that he is capable of doing whatever it takes to get the win. A perfect opponent for A.J Styles as Espinosa is student of the game and would be very prepared to take on one of the top wrestlers today.

Gary Jay vs. Adam Cole

 photo adamcole2_zpsj1o7vprq.png

 photo 26_zps164cb711.jpg

Gary Jay is one of the longest reigning champions in the area as he currently holds onto the St. Louis Anarchy Championship while Adam Cole is a former Ring of Honor Champion. These two men have shown in the past that they are willing to do whatever it takes to win a match so it will be fun to see who comes up with what to win this match.

The Prodigy” Mike Bennett vs. Trevor Murdoch

 photo akprohase6sept6353_zpsi7qdsjnq.jpg

trevorrhodes

Mike Bennett and his First Lady of ROH Maria Kanellis, has earned a reputation to do whatever it to do whatever it takes to get the win. A top tier athlete that would have to use all of his skills and tricks to pull one over on the former 3-Time WWE Tag Champion Trevor Murdoch.

Roderick Strong vs Leland Race

 photo roderickstrong2_zpsmgegwko4.png

Jason Jones

Both of these men are driven to be the very best in the sport today.” Mr. Ring of Honor “Roderick Strong vs the WLW Champion would promise to deliver a technical masterpiece filled with backbreakers, suplex’s and uppercuts that the fans will feel from the front row to the back.

Lucy Mendez Voted the 2014 MWR Best Female Wrestler By the Fans

Posted by flairwhoooooo on November 25, 2014

 photo f83be2ec-ebbb-4fdc-aad2-20020cad6b4d_zps464e184b.jpg

Missouri Wrestling Revival fans love affair with “The Latino Princess Lucy Mendez continues in 2014. Mendez has always shared a unique relationship with their fans. Since training with the 8-time NWA World Champion Harley Race, she has been a double threat as a wrestler and valet for many of the top promotions and wrestlers in the Midwest. Aligning herself with the likes of Ricky Cruz, Dan Walsh, and Brandon Espinosa she has been a huge draw for World League Wrestling, Metro Pro Wrestling, Dynamo Pro Wrestling, 3XWrestling and Proving Ground Pro while trailblazing her way to Resistance Pro Wrestling. No matter where we go, she is one of the most requested photo ops asked by the fans and this years’ MWR Fans Choice Award for MWR Best Female Wrestler victory follows up the huge 2014 MWR Sexiest Female trophy this past February. This past Monday night saw Mendez add the title as an Adam Rose‘s  Rosebud on PPV from St. Louis’s Survivor Series.

Voted on as second runner-up as the MWR fans Choice Award winner goes to the two time MWR Female Wrestler of the Year Miss Natural. The daughter of Ken Patera, Heather Patera who also was trained by Harley Race continues to have another strong year as she once again added the WLW Ladies Championship to her resume. In 2014, she once again continued to travel outside of the area as well for top promotions such as SHIMMER, and All American Wrestling, while feuding with rival Stacey O’Brien. Miss Natural also appeared on WWE’s Monday Night RAW earlier this year.

One of the best kept secrets in the Midwest, very well could be the women that recently returned from Japan and that is none other than Melanie Cruise. The first lady of Proving Ground Pro combines beauty and power that leaves her fans impressed and her opponents stunned. Coming back home from Japan she won the AIWF Championship and looks to be poised for an even bigger 2015.

The third runner up is Angelus Layne. Layne is a perennial contender for the MWR Female Wrestler of the Year. 2014 looked to be the year that Layne had dreamed of as a little girl, and that day would be double sweet as she not only had the opportunity to be married to Brandon Espinosa, but also be able to win the SLA belt from Gary Jay. Wedding Crashers was the theme of the night as BOSS attacked the ceremony and Layne, causing the end of the marriage before it was even validated. In the main event, Layne could not overcome the chaos of Jays’ gang during the match while trying to pin one of the top wrestlers in 2014. Still, she has earned the respect of the MWR Fans and was named as the third runner up.
