After months of anticipation, the first in-ring confrontation between Derek Stone and Trevor Murdock was more shocking than anyone imagined. Stone had waited months for his shot at the Metro Pro Television Title, and the TV Champion, Trevor Murdock, was having a good time ducking Stone. When it was finally decided that the two ring veterans would lock up and hook horns in the ring, thanks to the edict from Commissioner Michael Strider, MPW fans knew it would be a match to remember.
Murdock and his newest associate in Metro Pro, Bull Schmitt, made sure that fans would go home wondering about the health of Stone
When Murdock hit Stone with his patented Sit-Down Slam on the announcer table at ringside, the table never moved. Stone rolled over in a heap onto a nearby chair before crashing to the ground, clutching his sternum as he gasped for air. With Schmitt prompting him, Murdock picked up Stone once again, laid him on the table and jumped from the apron, landing on Stone’s chest with all his weight hurdling down. Fans were silent as the table crashed and broke from beneath them, forcing Murdock’s weight again on the sternum of Stone, which was held up by the hardwood floor beneath him.
Stone, unable to move for several minutes, finally made his way back inside the ring — against the pleas of his co-workers who had come to ringside to help him. When he finally did get into the ring, Murdock made short work, hitting yet another Sit-Down Slam and getting the win.
After the match, EMTs and MPW officials eventually had to use the broken table as a make-shift stretcher, taking Stone out into the hallway and he tried to regain his breath. The sight of Stone trying to breathe normally was the last image fans were left with after the encounter.
As he heals in his home, following two broken ribs and a bruised lung, Stone began calling Commissioner Strider, giving him updates on his health status. Stone also told Strider one other thing: He wants a rematch in January. Commissioner Strider has told MetroWrestling.com that he will indeed allow Stone to have a rematch with Murdock as long as Stone is medically cleared to wrestle. Stone also has another idea in mind for a “special” kind of match for his next encounter with Murdock.

Wherever I go, I speak to fans and wrestlers alike, and one of the common grounds that I find from them is they have a strong love for comic books. Now we can enjoy the two together.

2010 is near a close and the yearly awards are coming up quickly with some very tough decisions to be made from the awards committee over who will honored with the Wrestler, Tag Team, female, and promotion of the year.
So instead of worrying about who I am going to give my vote to I am going to flip the script.
I am going to make my Christmas wish of matches on this Black Friday that I would like to see in 2011.
Instead of matches that have done before I am going to do my best to name 10 matches that to my knowledge have not happen before.
So without further ado I give you my Christmas wish matches in NO certain order.
1) Bailey Mannix with Lovely Leon

vs. Jaysin Strife

– It is no secret that I have mad respect for both of these competitors. These two men going at it would be a true wrestling classic. One could say that Mannix has the power advantage but Strife could be just a little faster. Neither man is afraid to get their hands dirty and brawl with the best of them. A true wrestling classic in every aspect.
2) The Barrio Boys (Angel and Domino Rivera) With Lucy Mendez

vs.
Attitude Inc. (Spencer Powers and Guy Smith )
Attitude Inc. (Guy Smith and Michael Shard) – Can New Midwest Wrestling handle being EXTREME? Former ECW Original Angel and his partner Domino Rivera is two men that many promotions run and hide from signing them to the fed.
Attitude Inc appears to be all show but the Boyz would soon find out that Guy Smith and Michael Shard can go.
3) Dixieland Destroyer with The Magic Man

vs.
Shane Rich (Photo by Mike Van Hoogstraat)
Shane Rich – The beauty and the Beast is what I would call this AAPW clash. Rich has the good looks and conditioning but would it be enough to overcome the hillbilly power of the Destroyer.
4) Donovan Ruddick
Mephisto feels the power of Donovan Ruddick.
vs.
Abu Colossus

– OK I have been begging for this match for a long time now. Don’t believe me click here to read a former article of mine that sets this match up perfectly. With Ruddick on the verge to explode would Colossus put out the spark first.
5) The Hooligans (Devin and Mason Cutter)
The Hooligans
vs.
The Gentleman’s Club (Casanova and Devin Carter) with Todd Countryman.
The Gentleman’s Club (Casanova and Devin Carter)
– The Hooligans have been almost everywhere but they have not been to the 2008 MWR Promotion of the Year 3XWrestling. With the Gentleman’s club running hot shot over everyone would the Hooligans be able to sway the good fortunes over fan favorites? Or would the mastermind Todd Countryman make them his next victim.
6) Lucy Mendez
Lucy Mendez has come on strong in 2010.
vs.
Santana G
Santana has teamed with some top talent in 2010 but she has yet to win the WLW Womens title.
– Two of the most popular women in the Midwest today. Mendez has had all the eyes on her at Metro Pro Wrestling. What if the Midwest Sweetheart was to show up? No women I know wants competition and the real winners in this battle would be us the fans.
7) Jeremy Wyatt
Every young wrestlers nightmare Jeremy Wyatt (Photo Credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
vs.
Evan Money
Evan Money-
To become the best that you can be you have to work your way to the top. Money the teenage heart throb has had a solid year in 2010. Wyatt is considered by many to be the best in the game today. You say Money has no chance to survive against “The Rebel”. In Money’s defense he has earned some tough wins but this would be a measuring stick for one of the Midwest hottest young stars. My advice Money, if you have a belt stay far away from “The Belt Collector” Jeremy Wyatt.
8) Dan Walsh
Dan Walsh
vs.
Rory Fox
Rory Fox
-MTV vs MTV – Rory Fox gained national fame as one of the featured personalities on MTV’s True Life while Dan the Danimal” Walsh starred in MTV’s Road Rules. Need I say more.
9) Steve Fender and Mark Sterling

vs. BroMance Jordan McEntyre and Knight Wagner with Eryn
– Different styles for sure, Fender and Sterling are no nonsense hit you in the mouth tag team in the style of Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard while BroMance is….well they are BroMance a team with a lot of flash but can blind you with their double team abilities.
10) Trevor Murdoch
vs
Jonathan Magnus with Stephani King
Jonathan Magnus with Stephani King- No one likes a bully and that is what Magnus is at New Midwest Wrestling. A big man pushing his weight around to keep the NMW title around his waist. I don’t think that Murdoch would be so easy to push around. A match that would be talked about for ages in Springfield Illinois for years to come.
In my personal stocking match-
Crimefighter gets Eric Allens attention
Crimefighter’s chosen wrestler vs. The Pride of Peroia Eric Allen – A perfect match for NMW. It has been over a year ago that we took a look at the contriversal Eric Allen and his supposed win for the “Peorian Pride Championship”, ST louis Wrestling communities Crimefighter called foul quickly. Words and tempers flared between the two in the past but what if the red hot Eric Allen was to show his face in Springfield Illinois at the heart of Crimefighter’s coverage area?
A special attraction match for sure.
Other notable matches
The Cancun Kid vs. Kwong with Chad Mylan Jason Jones vs. Ryan Phoenix Preston Maxwell vs. Homicidal Steven Davis Billy McNiel vs Zach Thompson Curly vs #1 Brett Young Jimmy Rockwell vs Brandon Espinosa Pete Madden vs. Dave Vaughn Matty Starr vs. Danny Cannon Tony Cortez vs Brandon Aarons Dan the Man vs Alexander Rudolph Bobby Houston vs. Derek Stone Christian Rose vs. Chris Havius Bumrush Brothers vs The Beautiful Bodies Eric Logan vs Tyler Cook Ron Powers vs. Brian Ash Donnie Peppercricket vs. Davey Vega Kory Twist vs. Father Jack Mecidol Sir Bradley Charles vs. The Big Texan
