Missouri Wrestling Revival fans around the Midwest have been able to catch Ricky Cruz in action in the past three years against many of the best of the best. A perennial contender for the official MWR Wrestler of the Year award, Cruz entered the area as one of the most loved wrestlers, yet in the past year he has turned on his fans while capturing the Dynamo Pro Wrestling belt and the GWF Championship. He also teamed with former MWR Wrestler of the Year Brandon Espinosa for a bit to win the DPW Tag Team belts proving that belts and winning is a common occurrence for a man of his skils . His biggest accomplishment of 2014 very well may have not been winning a belt , but by defeating one of his arch rival the powerhouse Ron Powers in a loser leaves match at SICW ! This Saturday in Fenton, Missouri, Ricky Cruz defends his DPW title against rising star Mike Outlaw as he continues his quest to be one of the best wrestlers ever in the MWR years.
The ladies love Evan Money Morris while the men have learned to respect him for his high flying hard hitting style that has paid dividends in NWA Central States, Dynamo Pro Wrestling and World League Wrestling. Money was once known as the “Kid” but in 2014 the kid has become a man by dominating the NWA Central States promotion. Look for Money to be a star for years to come.
Davey Vega may not be getting the headlines like he should, but his reputation among the wrestling fans is well founded. Earlier this year Vega was able to defeat former WWE NXT Star Chris Hero, former ROH World Champion Roderick Strong as well as several of the top rising stars in the Midwest including Zakk Sawyers, Bolt Brady and Christian Rose. Vega has continued his red hot 2014 by defeating the current MWR Wrestler of the Year Jake Dirden and has a golden opportunity to win the SLA Championship this Saturday in Alton, Illinois if he is able to survive and defeat SLA Champion Gary Jay in a two out three falls war in the land of Anarchy.
Pro Wrestling Phoenix fans truly respect the hard working, never quite style of Darren “Thunder” Russell. Russell started the year off feuding with the talented L-Ray and Joey Daniels led by the 2014 Best Manager Axel Greece as voted on by the fans. In May, Russell got the last laugh when he won the Greece Pit Gauntlet by defeating Joey Daniels and L-Ray. In June he carried that momentum to a win against Geek Singh. A loss against former MWR Future Star Award Showtime Bradley Charles to start the night of the 2014 Phoenix Challenge only focused Russell during the night in the main event when he was victorious to earn a title shot at the PWP Championship. In September he won the PWP Championship when he pinned Branden Juarez in an emotional match. Russell was able to get revenge on Charles when he defeated him to retain the title as well as winning a rematch against Juarez as he still lays claim as the PWP Champion.
