Missouri Wrestling Revival owner and editor Brian Kelley was invited from the fine staff at MMWA-SICW to honor the 2011 MWR Wrestler of the Year Brandon Espinosa with his plaque. Though the fans and some of the wrestlers were not too happy to see Espinosa be honored with such an award, there was no doubt that in 2011 he was one of the top wrestlers in the Midwest.
Espinosa took home victories against many of the top men in the world including El Generico, Jay Lethal, Jimmy Jacobs and last years MWR Wrestler of the yea Mike Sydal to name a few. He would also excel in big tournaments including the PWE Epic 8, the ST Louis Cable TV trophy while extending his training at OVW.
Espinosa has also been the trainer for the 2011 PWI Rookie of the Year Ace Hawkins and many other stars around the Midwest.
It was with great honor to present Brandon Espinosa his 2011 MWR Wrestler of the Year plaque and thanks to Ben Simon we have footage of Espinosa receiving this award along with exciting wrestling action from the historic South Broadway Athletic Club on the webshow Wild World Of Wrestling.

Yet, in 2011, Brandon Espinosa experienced a breakout year. He sought out better training at OVW in Louisville and is now featured regularly on OVW TV with other future WWE stars. He arguably wrestled more matches for more companies than anybody in the area- at least 100 per year. Espinosa was a key player not only in his hometown of St. Louis but around the country
In what may have been his biggest win to date , Espinosa won the Pro Wrestling Epic 8 tournament by defeating Ace Hawkins in round one, Evan Money in round two, then in an exciting final matchup shocked the Midwest when he defeated one of the very best in ROH Superstar Jimmy Jacobs.
Throughout the year he wrestled for All American Pro Wrestling, High Voltage Wrestling, Independent Hardcore Wrestling, IWA Unlimited, IWA Productions, NWA Supreme, Pro Wrestling Epic, Metro East Championship Wrestling, & MMWA-SICW in the MWR covering area for 2011, has also wrestled for New Midwest Wrestling & NWA Dynamo in the past.

Blunt and Gary Jackson.
He would contend for the WLW title held by “The Prince” Jason Jones in his very first match with the company coming up just short when Jone’s manager threw salt in the eyes of Espinosa.
Espinosa had victories over nationally known talents such as Jimmy Jacobs, El Generico, Jay Lethal, and Mike Sydal.

In a historic night of wrestling from Lemay Missouri, MMWA presented the fans with the first ever King of ST Louis Cable tournament. The winner of the tournament would not only be named the first ever King of St Louis but also receive a title shot against MMWA Champ Gary Jackson at a later date. Jackson was in the tournament and if he would win, he would be the one to decide who he would face.
In the first round TV Champion Brandon Espinosa was able to overcome the raw power of David Osborne, Phil E. Blunt(w/ Leo) defeated Jr. Heavyweight Champion Johnny Courageous, Battle Royal Champion Dave Vaughn was dominate in a match against Max Archer(substituting for the injured Sean Vincent) with the spear while MMWA Champion Gary Jackson defeated Ace Hawkins via Texas Cloverleaf.
In the second round fans were surprised to see Phil E Blunt give Espinosa the win by staying out of the ring voluntary. Espinosa would not get off so easy as the young and popular LaMarcus Clinton came to the ringside letting Espinosa know that he was wanting a shot at the TV.

Clinton would give it his all but Espinosa has been on fire in 2011 and was able to retain his title with a frog splash.

Back in the second round it was Gary Jackson taking on Dave Vaughn in a battle of two of the best in the area.
Jackson and Vaughn looked to each have a win for themselves in many moments in the match but Jackson would be able use a crucifixed for a quick pinfall.

In the finals, Jackson would take on Espinosa to see who would have the bragging rights. Jackson nearly got Espinosa in the Cloverleaf for the win but Espy rolled him up with a handful of tights for the cheap victory and claim as the2011 King of St. Louis Cable Tournament.
With the win Brandon Espinosa is poised for a shot at Gary Jackson’s MMWA Championship at anytime of his choosing.

Brandon Espinosa shocked the fans at PWP/NWA Supreme when he cashed in his guaranteed title shot that he won when he defeated TNA and ROH Star Jay Lethal earlier this year.
In Mattoon Illinois, during a title match for the Pro Wrestling Prestige title, EL Generico was able to defeat Ring of Honor World Champion Davey Richards, Oliver Cain and the 2010 MWR Wrestler of the Year Mike Sydal in a fatal fourway.

Before the masked luchadore El Generico could celebrate, Espinosa cashed in his title opportunity to PWP commissioner DA Morrison, and sneaked attacked the new champ. El Genreico would show a lot of heart but in the end, Brandon Espinosa would add the PWP title to his trophy case.
