Missouri Wresting Revival.com was on hand to witness the first ever Beyond Wrestling tapings in the MWR Coverage area in St. Louis at the Dynamo Pro Gym . Beyond Wrestling is an innovated approach to the world of pro wrestling that had become the rave among many fans around the world. The exciting card featured many of the top young wrestling talents in the Midwest including the Zero 1 USA Champion Jonathan Gresham, Ring of Honor Superstar Michael Elgin, Devin and Mason Cutter otherwise known as the Hooligans, Evan Gelistico ,Jake Dirden, Alexander Rudolph , Christian Rose, Davey Vega, Jake Parnell, Bolt Brady, JoJo Bravo, Dave Vaughn, Ricky Starks, Blake Steel, Brandon Gallagher, Jeff O’Shea as well as one of the gutsiest matches I had ever seen by a women wrestler when Heidi Lovelace went to a war with Tripp Cassidy in a match that you will have to see to believe.

As soon as the matches come to youtube we will be sure to give you the information on how you can get a copy, till then let’s take a quick look at what Beyond Wrestling is and some action photos of this historic night.

Beyond sports. Beyond entertainment. Beyond Wrestling.

The concept behind Beyond Wrestling is very simple – wrestlers wrestling for wrestlers. Beyond Wrestling is not a wrestling promotion; at least not in the typical sense. Live events are closed to the public, creating an atmosphere impossible to replicate. The goal of Beyond Wrestling is to foster competition amongst those who value self-expression, craftsmanship, and camaraderie more than popularity, financial stability, and tradition. For a professional wrestler, Beyond Wrestling is the platform on which to make the ultimate artistic expression.

“Look, Ma. No fans!”

The progressive presentation of Beyond Wrestling – where fans are prohibited from attending the experimental live events – has attracted rookies from across the globe. Without a locker room, every wrestler remains ringside to dissect each contest. This creates an unprecedented atmosphere encouraging growth and reinforcing the spirit of competition. All of the combatants are forced to perform to the best of their ability in order to win the contest as well as the support of their toughest critics – other wrestlers.

Jake Dirden has been UNSTOPPABLE since his return from Pro Wrestling NOAH

Posted by flairwhoooooo on July 27, 2013

FIST COMBAT WRESTLING’s Mike Gordon JUST GOT DirdeY!

The hottest rookie in the world today, Jake Dirden has returned from Japan on a mission to destroy whoever is in his path of destruction. The Dynamo Pro Wrestling trainee wisely took the opportunity to train in Eldon in 2012 with Harley Race, WLW, WWE and Pro Wrestling Noah. After the camp was through he was quickly signed up for a tour of Japan in the in the spring through the first of July.

It would not take long for the men of the Midwest to feel the pain as Dirden returned to Dynamo and won a handicap match against Billy McNeil & Dash Rando in his first match back; it started as a singles match between Dirden and Rando but Billy challenged Dirden to make it a two-on-one bout. Dirden chokeslammed McNeil, then got the submission win on Rando with the Asiatic Spike. Dirden was not done as he made his impact felt in the main event later that evening during the Dynamo Champion Dan Walsh’s title defense against Ricky Cruz. Wrestling expert Patrick Brandmeyer called the action as Cruz superkicked Walsh and went for the pin but Kevin X pulled the referee out of the ring. Jake Dirden jumped the guardrail to interfere but Walsh and Cruz briefly worked together to clear him out of the ring. Once the field was clear, Walsh hit Cruz with Paydirt to get the win and retain his title.

At Proving Ground Pro Dirden continued his winning ways when he teamed up with Nelson Sixx to get the win against Bragg’N’Swagg.

Yet the pain was set at an all-time high as Jake Dirden entered FIST COMBATE 2 AT POPS NIGHTCLUB as he once defeated Poodoo The Cow(w/ Dash Rando & C.J. McManus) with the Asiatic Spike to enter the four corner match to receive a shot at Billy McNeil to be named the FIST Combat Champion.

In a brutal four-corner match with Ricky Cruz, Dave Vaughn, and Alexandre Rudolph that could have gone to either of the four men it would be Dirden who would get the submission win with the Asiatic Spike as Cruz fought with Vaughn outside the ring.

It would be a battle of Power vs. Speed when Dirden met Billy McNeil to for FIST Title. Dirden dominated the bout despite having already competed in two prior matches; Billy fought back with a tornado DDT and a double-kneedrive to the back of the head, but missed a swanton bomb. That led to Dirden getting the win after a huge chokeslam.

FIST COMBAT WRESTLING JUST GOT DirdeY.

SICW returns in 2013 on January 19th, in East Carondelet, Illinois!!

Posted by flairwhoooooo on January 11, 2013

Photobucket

In an amazing moment in 2012, Ricky Cruz quickly won a number one contender’s battle royal on his first night at 3XWrestling to rocket him into main events across Iowa. Cruz is now the hunted, with all the superstars of the Midwest looking to take the CWC Title off his waist- Photo Credit Peyton Mitchell.

You will not want to miss the action on January 19 at SICW in East Carondelet when the Classic Wrestling Champion Ricky Cruz returns to action to defend his title. Cruz returns from headlining in Iowa the past few weeks a marked man.

The action and drama is heating up with questions galore on who will be able to take the prestigious title from the Champion first.

Will the manager supreme Travis Cook be able to lead either “The Wrestling Machine” Dave Vaughn or “The Iron Man” Ken Kasa to the promise land?

As the 2012 came to a close, the longest reigning, most feared man in all of wrestling, Ron Powers sent a message to promoter Herb Simmons by putting fan favorite Sean Vincent on the shelf for the whole year of 2013 by injuring his leg. Will the former Kingpin of SICW Ron Powers be able to take back what he feels is rightfully his?

On the hunt as always is the opportunist and wily veteran, “Gorgeous” Gary Jackson who’s 3 rules of wrestling has lead himself to championships throughout his career.

How about the young stallions of SICW? Men like Jake Dirden, Brent Myers, Alexandre Rudolph, Bull Bronson, Heath Hatton  and Chris Hargas who would love to put themselves on the wrestling map by defeating one of the top wrestlers in the country Ricky Cruz and adding the SICW Championship to their resume.

It is lonely at the top, even more so for the Classic Wrestling Champion and Ricky Cruz is now the hunted. Each and every day word leaks out that some of the toughest men in the country want to make their way to have the CWC belt around their waist.

You just never know who may show up in a SICW ring.

So mark your calendars for 2013, it is going to be an exciting year in East Carondelet, Illinois. Stay tune at Missouri Wrestling Revival for exciting updates throughout the year, for your number one source of SICW news in the Midwest.

Manager Ron Powers creates havoc in East Carondelet. SICW Wrestling returns this Saturday Old School Warriors return.

Posted by flairwhoooooo on November 20, 2012

SICW fans got their wish in October when Travis Cook told them that he would not be in attendance in East Carondelet, Illinois for the November show. The fans happiness would not last when Cook went on to make an agreement with the former Classic Wrestling Champion Ron Powers to manage his men for the night.

One fact remains with Powers and that is, you can never be sure what he will do, a loose cannon in every sense of the word. While the fans thought he would be out their to manage Cook’s men Dave Vaughn and Ken Kasa.

Powers took it on himself to offer his service to the likes of Max Archer, Bull Bronson, Jake Dirden, Alex Rudolph and his fellow henchman The Big Texan in battle against current champion Ricky Cruz.

Powers and his men did not show the usual savvy of Cook as Archer and Kasa each got disqualified for outside interference. When Powers offered his service to Rudolph, the young powerhouse decline him, only to see Gary Jackson seizing the opportunity for an edge to have Powers in his corner.

Jackson’s 3 rules applied in this

1. He came out to win

2.He refuse to lose.

3.He will cheat if he has too

4. Don’t forget the rules

Classic Gary Jackson footage.

So with that said thought Powers and Jackson often enemy’s joined forces to pick up another impressive victory in his historic career.

Powers had the experts wandering if he was scouting for more muscle but one thing was sure his number one goal was to send a clear cut message to Ricky Cruz that he had his eyes set on the CWC title as he brutally assaulted Cruz during the match.

If it would not have been for Power’s former right hand man Sean Vincent, he may have very well have taken Cruz out for good…Thankfully men like Chris Hargas, Heath Hatton and Chaz Wesson came out to stand the ground on Powers, Vaugn, Texan, Waco, and Bronson to insure that the Classic Wrestling Champion stood to fight another day.
