NEW All American Pro Wrestling Champion: The Mississippi Madman

Posted by flairwhoooooo on January 17, 2010

All American Pro Wrestling has a brand new Champion in the Mississippi Madman. The Madman battled Edmund “Livewire” McGuire in a classic that looked to go either way. With both men down the special ref of the evening Shane Rich turned on his good friend McGuire giving the edge to the unknowing Madman.

I was shocked and sadden in the Serial Thriller Shane Rich’s action on this evening. Rich has always been one of my friends and closest supporters of Missouri Wrestling Revival. I was still in disbelief when I caught up with Rich after the match in an interview that you will see in the near future at MWR.

Before the night was over the AAPW promoter suspended Rich for 90 days. I can only hope that Rich can take this time away and come back with a better attitude. With that said I just don’t see that happing. It looks to be Edmund “Livewire” McGuire vs. Shane Rich will be a 2010 must see for all MWR Fans.

In the meantime we would like to congratulate the Mississippi Madman in becoming the AAPW Champion.

The quality of the AAPW show in Nashville on April 25th was possibly their best since last year. Our first time in this town, they had a paid attendance of 155. Not too shabby. The crowd was HOT. Yes, it was a bit warm in the Community Center, but not that kind of hot. The card was solid top to bottom. The crowd was so happy that The Nashville Moose Lodge, who raised $1,000 from the event, asked AAPW to set aside 4 more dates for fall and winter of 2009/2010!

Edmund “Livewire” McGuire goes for Shane Rich’s AAPW title this Saturday in West Frankfort, IL

Posted by flairwhoooooo on January 19, 2009

The AAPW Champion, "The Serial Thriller" Shane Rich

The AAPW Champion, "The Serial Thriller" Shane Rich

This Saturday in West Frankfort Illinois, the fans will be treated to a special match. Two of the most popular wrestlers in the Midwest will battle for the All American Pro Wrestling Heavyweight title. AAPW Champion Shane “Serial Thriller” Rich will take on Edmund “Livewire” McGuire in the title match that AAPW fans voted on this past fall.

In 2008 Shane Rich was involved in one of the most exciting feuds of the year when he battled “Homicidal” Steven Davis. Davis was champion going into their Last Chance Ladder match on September in West Frankfort, IL. If Rich would have lost that match, it would have been the last chance that he would have had to win the belt. The Aftermath of that match saw Rich get rewarded with the title (Match of the Year in AAPW voted on by the fans), but now Rich has a bulls eye on himself for all the AAPW wrestlers wanting to become the Champion.

Edmund "Livewire" McGuire!!

Edmund "Livewire" McGuire!!

Little did he know that the number one threat to his title would be the ultra popular Edmund “Livewire” McGuire? Rich and McGuire have teamed up in the past as they defeated the then AAPW Champion Davis and “Thunderbolt” Brandon Walker. Edmund was voted the most popular, Wrestler and one half of the tag team of the year (With Shane Rich) during the Fans Choice Award. McGuire lives up to his nickname “Livewire” as he electrifies the crowd and overwhelms his opponents with his quickness and never die attitude.

One of the true good guys in the Midwest, McGuire can easily be compared to Dusty Rhodes in the aspect that the fans can relate to him, because honestly McGuire is one of them. When McGuire is in the ring, the fans seem to feel every blow given to him, cheering him on and McGuire in turn feeds off the crowd to get that extra boost to get the victory. The “Old School Warrior” Ax Stevens saw firsthand the drive that McGuire has recently in an I-Quit match, Ax did all he could to McGuire to make him quit, but Livewire was able to persevere for the win. Not only did he get the victory but he proved that he is turning into a complete wrestler, adding submissions to something that any of his foes should be concerned with.

The Number one question going into this night will be who will the fans want to win this match? Who’s side will they be on and how will the wrestler who does not have the complete support react? No doubt this will be a great match with two of the most exciting wrestlers in the Midwest. This is sure to be a must see match, Join AAPW with a main event that will sure to be talked about all year.

For more information on AAPW please go to the AAPW Myspace.

In a time where 100 people attending is good, 221 is phenomenal. What is more impressive is the last time wrestling was there the attendance was low. More important than the number was the crowd response. From the time the bell rang to the last pinfall the place was off the hook.

November Personality of the month

Magic Man (HVW) 

 

Seemingly 100% behind his man from the PWI 500, The Magic Man turned on Kahagas during the main event of the last High Voltage show, aligning himself with “Future” Donovan Ruddick. He showed that he gravitates toward greatness, and he felt that Kahagas could not handle it anymore (see video on Missouri Wrestling Revival). Overall, Magic Man’s wit and knowledge warrant his nomination for Personality of the month.

 

 

 

1st Runner Up- Luke Roberts (LWA)

 

November Match of the month

 

NWA Kansas Champion #1 Brett Young

Vs.

Tyler Cook

(NWA Presents Dynamo Pro Wrestling)

October 29th Pomona, Kansas

 

On a night where every match was top notch, the pressure was on in front of 221 people. The Kansas Champion was at his very best, working the crowd to frenzy and using every advantage to retain the title. Tyler Cook, worked and worked to get the momentum going his way but when Cook hit the uncovered turnbuckle (Thanks to Brett Young earlier) he would go home without the belt. In the main event, you can make or break what the fans thought of the night. Cook showed that he can live up to the hype that many feel he is capable. The fans though, cant wait to see Brett Young get what’s coming to him next time. What more can you ask from the bad guy?

MWR October 2008 Awards

Posted by flairwhoooooo on November 18, 2008

October Wrestler of the Month

 wyatt

Jeremy Wyatt [ PWP] [LWA] [3XW]

 

No wrestler in the Midwest is as hot as Jeremy “The Rebel” Wyatt. On October 17th at 3XW he earned the right to be the number one contender to the 3xw Pure Championship title held by Tyler Cook by defeating former Pure Champion Maddog McDowell and international star Arik Cannon.

 

 A week later he returned to LWA where he cashed in his Medallion to LWA President Luke Roberts before Roberts could declare the LWA title strip the injured Jordan Lacey of the belt. Since Lacey could not defend the belt, Roberts had no other choice but to give the Rebel the title. Wyatt never one to walk away from a fight successfully defended the belt that night in another three way, this time with KC Karrington and once again Arik Cannon.

 

Less than 24 hours, Wyatt made his way to Pro Wrestling Phoenix to take on the mammoth Abu Colossus for the PWP Championship. Wyatt was able to defeat one of the most impressive big men in the Midwest to become the new PWP Champion. It is only fitting that Jeremy Wyatt wins once again in October.

The Northstar Express did not let that get them down as they headed to PWP and took on one of the arch rivals the LONRS for the Tag team titles. The LONRS had beaten the Northstar Express twice before this encounter so with their final chance to become the PWP Tag Team Champions, in a match up between two of the top tag teams in the Midwest, the Northstar Express was able to get the belts that have eluded them all year.

High Voltage Wrestling

 

Many doubted the new promotion in St Louis capable of having a show much less being successful. HVW on October 4th welcomed fans and wrestlers alike to come and see what they were all about.  The night showcased powerhouses Donovan Ruddick, High flyers DaCobra, a top tag team in the Hybirds and a ACU-30 Title defense.  HVW delivered a rollercoaster of action and suspense that impressed the wrestling world.

A New Number One?

Posted by Admin on October 25, 2008

A New Number One?
The tag team scene heats up.

by Josh Ray
Owner-Editor
inadvertent.nerd@gmail.com

After what seemed like an eternity at the number one spot, the Northstar Express fell one spot to number two.  Taking their place at number one is the ultra-talented team known as The Phoenix Twins (Tweek & Dash).

The Phoenix Twins have received their fair share of accolades this year.  In the MWR coverage area for 2008, they have held the AAPW tag titles and wrestled in the MWR Match of the Month for March.  They’ve also been MWR Tag Team of the Month in March and May, as well as the Tag Team of the 1st Quarter.  While nipping at the heels of the Northstar Express since the beginning of the 2008 Wrestling Revival Cup, Tweek and Dash overtook them after capturing the Scott County Wrestling Tag Team Titles this month.

That’s not to say that Darin Corbin and Ryan Cruz are out of the hunt.  A very popular tag team, the Northstar Express suffered a setback when Darin Corbin injured his knee at a 3XWrestling show in Des Moines, IA in September.  He’s since recovered moderately from the injury and they’ve got a busy second half of October, but those matches are tough and could slow them down even further.

Another team that has slipped slightly in the tag team rankings is the team of Danny Daniels & Trik Davis, collectively known as Windy City Classic.  Windy City Classic had a tight grip on the Scott County Wrestling Tag Team Titles for a large portion of the year, but the talent and teamwork of teams such as Zero Gravity (Brett Gakiya & CJ Esparza) and Phoenix Twins caused them to wear down over time.  Both teams have tasted SCW Tag Title glory in the past two months.

The team to look out for is the LONRs (Darrien Sanders and Mark Sterling).  These guys have been on a steady climb as of late, and the month of October could prove to be their best yet.  The LONRs defeated the former number one team twice this year (Northstar Express) in successful defenses of the Pro Wrestling Phoenix Tag Team Titles, and last week defeated the new number one tag team (Phoenix Twins) to capture the All American Pro Wrestling Tag Titles.

The dark horse in the hunt for the MWR 2008 Wrestling Revival Cup for tag teams would have to be Lethal Wrestling Alliance’s top tag team, Davey Vega & Johnny Vinyl.  These two have competed solely in the LWA this year, a promotion without tag team titles to measure success.  Currently ranked 11th, these two have crawled within striking distance of the top ten and at press time were staring down the Northstar Express in a big match for bragging rights and a possibly push to the top of the rankings.

The 2008 Wrestling Revival Cup is coming to a close in the very near future and the fight for the championship is intensifying.  Who will take home the
