Good day my wrestling fans, on September 11th we returned to Independent Hardcore Wrestling and for the first time we got to see them in Waterloo Illinois for “The Battle of Waterloo”.
On this weekend was my son Tyler’s 11th birthday so Brian offered to take him and his best friend Nick out for wrestling. This would be Nick’s first wrestling event so the boys were exciting about checking out the show.
The crowd was huge and the fans were really having a good time and it came to no surprise to me that the IHW Champion Brandon Aarons was one of the most request wrestlers for this edition of Dubi Meets the Fans.
Wesley Rodell and Justin Campbell with Brandon Aarons
I caught up with Wesley Roedl and Justin Campbell who were excited to have their pictures with Aarons. Justin has already snagged the trademark Aarons glasses at the merchandise table. My daughter Cheyenne loves those glasses and bought her one to have as well when we brought her last.
Up next was Hardcore fan favorite Mephisto who was chosen by Brandon Van Dever from Cahokia, Illinois.
Brandon Van Dever and Mephisto
Brandon told me that “after wrestling legend Baron Von Raschke, Mephisto was the best.”
We caught up with Aarons once again this time with friends who also picked up themselves a set of the Brandon Aarons player shades.
Michael Quinn and Aden Stein with Brandon Aarons.
Michael Quinn and Aden Steine from Waterloo Illinois were ready to cheer on Aarons as he was set to take on Bailey Mannix in the Main event.
Brandon Obst and Brandon Aarons
Blake Obst had hope to get his picture taken with the youth sensation Evan Money but before we could get it done Money had been jumped from after his match from Eric Allen, Lovely Leon and Bailey Mannix who cost him the win against the Canadian Sean Vincent.
Blake Obst and Cameron Cage
Money was being attended to in the back so Blake was willing to take his picture with the returning Cameron Cage.
I looked around to see who I could choose while we waited for Poo Doo the Cow to come out to have his picture taken with Tyler and Nick.
I saw Shorty Biggs near and he had just got done signing autographs and took some pictures with his fans.
Shorty Biggs and Dubray Tallman
St Louis loves them some Shorty and so do I.
Aaron Brigance was lucky to have his picture taken with the Tony Kozina and I got so busy that I forgot to get one taken with the superstar.
Aaron Brigance and Tony Kozina
Kozina was also the IHW wrestler who wore the MWR shirt prior to his match to throw to one lucky fan.
Tyler Tallman with Poo Doo and his cowgirl along with Nick Bowne
Tyler and Nick quickly let me know when Poo Doo came out from the back and he was joined with him a cowgirl The boys favorite match did turn out to be his with Dash Rando and they were elated to get their picture taken with the popular IHW Star.
Tony Kozina had an amazing match with Chris Logan that saw chairs and tables involved throughout the match.
Sam Bazzell and Tony Kozina
Prior to his match Sam Bazzell caught the shirt and Tony came out prior to the main event to take a picture with young Sam
The night of wrestling turned out to be a lot of fun and on a personal note we would like to thank everyone at IHW for making Tylers birthday a night that he will always remember.
I hope to see you at a show real soon my friends and feel free to come out to say that you want to be part of Dubi meets the fans and we will do our best to get you a chance to meet your favorite wrestler.

The opinions and views expressed from Mr Late Nite do not necessarily reflect the views of Missouri Wrestling Revival.
It’s come to my attention that some of you idiots still aren’t getting the “big picture”. That’s alright, I didn’t expect a high level of intelligence out of wrestling fans. On September 11, at the VFW Hall in Waterloo, Illinois, I will drop a bombshell on the fans of Independent Hardcore Wrestling. Hell, I’ll drop a bomb on the entire head office of that company. “The Future” Donovan Ruddick and I have big plans, that go far beyond the world of professional “wrasslin”, but you’ll just have to wait until the show to find out what my big surprise is. Can you wait that long? Or are you all a bunch of mouth breaking window lickers who can’t wait for anything?
Not only am I going to have a surprise, but you’ll be seeing my client, Donovan Ruddick, go one-on-one against a man that I’ve been waiting to put out of this business for a long time – Mephisto. I don’t understand why fans like this guy. He’s out of shape, fat, has no charisma, and no showmanship. Ya know, maybe fans like Mephisto, because he’s just like the rest of them – a bunch of no talent losers. The fans can see their hero get pounded into oblivion on September 11th. I know a lot of you like the demolition derby, but this will be a human demolition derby. Donovan Ruddick is a monster truck and Mephisto is a Ford Escort. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to beat this idiot, so we can move on to bigger and better things.
If you’re looking for a few more reasons to come check out the show, I suggest you come out to see Brandon Aarons defend his IHW championship against a man who is physically and mentally superior to him – Bailey Mannix. Mannix is a pretty talented individual and his manager, Leon, could make a good assistant one day. Anyway, Bailey’s suspension is up the week of the show and Brandon is going to have to fight a man with nothing to lose and everything to gain. I doubt that pretty boy is going to be prepared for Bailey. Another man I respect, Eric Allen, will be defending his Illinois State title against Billy McNeil. We all know that McNeil got lucky against Sean Vincent in July, but Eric Allen is no slouch. McNeil’s not smart enough to win a match against Allen. You can do all the stupid flips you want, kid, but when you’re wrestling Eric Allen, it’s a mental chess game and McNeil lacks something between his ears to be able to win such a game.
So jump in your pick up trucks, cash your welfare checks, put on your best flannel shirt, brush your tooth, and bring your beer money and come out and see IHW on September 11th at the VFW Hall in Waterloo, Illinois. The gates open at 6:30pm. Make sure you’re there. You wouldn’t want to miss this show.
MR Late Nite
Yee-haw.
Did you miss the last IHW Show? If so lets take a look at all the great action from IHW’S Last Dance in Dupo.

Editors Note: Last week MMWA-SICW open their doors literly to all aspiring wrestlers to have the chance to work with the 2009 MWR Promotion of the Year.
MMWA-SICW has five shows in the works for September and in 2010 fans have had the pleasure to see Donovan Ruddick, Brandon Espinosa, Ace Hawkins, Mark Sterling and most recently Mephisto make their way to the promotion.
I am sad to say that I was unable to attend due to prior commitments but I knew that MWR fans would have a great look into the happenings of this historic event thanks to Pro Wrestling expert Patrick Brandmeyer being able to attend as well as MWR Photographer Mike Van Hoogstraat.
I now give you Patrick and Mike with the rundown on the Open door tryouts.
Which one of these aspiring wrestlers and personalities will make a mark in the future at MMWA-SICW?(Photo credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
I’ve been fortunate to get fairly close to the local wrestling scene…case in point, being invited by Tim Miller to the MMWA-SICW tryout in East Carondelet this past Thursday. Saw several familiar faces in attendance as well as some Broadway trainees and some out-of-towners.
Some of the familiar faces for MWR fans and new one lined up to speak to Keith Smith, Tim Miller and Jim Harris (Photo credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
The main Broadway representatives were Tim himself, Keith Smith, and referee Jim Harris. They laid out what Broadway has to offer: Exposure in a great wrestling market in front of good audiences, as well as T.V. time(via their local-access program) and a decent payday. Broadway is stepping up their schedule in a major way in September, so the roster will be expanding in the near future…September has the usual shows at South Broadway and East Carondelet as well as their debut in Hillsdale, MO and a return to Fairmont City. The injured A.J. Williams was also in attendance as well as Ace Hawkins.
They had one interviewer/commentator tryout named Ben Simon who did a fine job and will apparently be at their East Carondelet show this weekend.
Blake Steel is one of the best promo men in the sport today, it was no surprise that he was dead on in showing his skills.(Photo credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)

Keith asked why I didn’t try out for that spot…and I didn’t really have a good answer for him. Haven’t gotten behind that particular microphone since the GCW days and wouldn’t mind doing it again sometime!
Those in attendance got a chance to prove themselves behind a microphone and also in the ring. The trainees practiced in the ring with Johnny Courageous while those with more experience under their belt had full-fledged matches with the likes of Courageous, Brandon Espinosa, and Sean Vincent.
Former MMWA-SICW manager The Magic Man is always entertaining and I have him hoping for his return to the promotion for some time now. (Photo credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
The Magic Man was in the house and did a classic promo to kick things off…
Was good to see former GCW competitor Ian Storm in the house as well as Springfield IL’s Blake Steel.

Is Eric Allen the best wrestler in Illinois? That is what he will tell you.(Photo credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
Sean Vincent catches Allen and lets him know about it. (Photo credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
Could moments like this lead to a big feud at MMWA-SICW in the future? My money is on the fact that Steel will not forget Espinosa actions during the tryout.(Photo credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
Also saw a couple of guys who have flown under the local radar to some extent, Kurt Styles and Rick Stone. One of the more decorated local grapplers was in the house as Eric Allen sought to add another notch to his resume.
A group from Jefferson City arrived later in the tryout…some did better than others.
Espinosa was quick to let one of them know about an early mistake in their practice matchup.
New faces try their hand at the very difficult skill of wrestling.(Photo credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
Critiques followed each matchup in the hopes that each wrestler would learn and work to improve. Vincent had a good short sprint with one of the Jeff City upstarts who went by “Bill Murray”(no relation).
Keith Smith and Herb Simmons have seen it all in their many years in the business, they watch the proceedings with a close eye for future talent. (Photo credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
I’m always open to a learning experience and I feel like I’ve learned more in the past few years of wrestling viewing than at any other time in my nineteen(!) years of following the industry. I have all the respect in the world for anyone who steps in a wrestling ring because I couldn’t do what they do. I don’t think lack of in-ring experience disqualifies a person completely from having an opinion about wrestling…though I suppose I would respect the opinion of a wrestler over a non-wrestler.
Look for recaps from both of the shows that MMWA-SICW had in August in the near future at MWR.

Eric Allen (Photo Credit Brian Kelley)
Missouri Wrestling Revival would like to welcome Eric Allen to our trading card set, as he takes the #19 card.
Eric Allen has been a mainstay of the Midwest wrestling scene for quite some time. While he may not be very popular with the fans, his success is hard to argue. In the summer of 2009, Allen held the heavily disputed “Peoria Pride” championship. Many fans felt that he just created the belt and never actually won it. After he dropped the championship, he proved to his critics that he could win a legit championship when he picked up both the MECW Heavyweight title and the IHW Illinois State title in 2010. As this article is being written, he still currently holds both of those championships.
The “Pride of Peoria” has developed a reputation for being very underhanded and cowardly in the ring. Referees usually don’t see what Allen is up to, but the fans sure do. Many may ask how he can be as successful as he is, with all of his character flaws? That’s easy. What Eric Allen lacks in moral fiber and sportsmanship, he makes up for with brains. He has used his high level of intelligence to trick opponents countless times into sealing their own fate.
This very distinguised gentleman’s unique in-ring style and success have garnered him his very own card. Pick yours up today and come see Eric Allen as he will be appearing at both IHW and MECW shows this year.

By Dubray Tallman
We are back with another edition of Dubi Meets the fans, last time we were in Des Moines Iowa for 3XW and for this one we had to travel through Missouri to Illinois to make our way to Dupo for Independent Hardcore Wrestling.
IHW has been red hot in 2010 with some large crowds that have been very energetic, in fact the size of the crowd have got so large that they are going to need to find a new building to hold all the fans. This night would be no different as IHW was filled with a great mix of talent including a non-title rematch between IHW Champion Brandon Aarons taking on the self proclaim greatest wrestler ever from Illinois, the current IHW Illinois Champion Eric Allen, the ultra talented Bailey Mannix met Tony Kozina while Mr. Late Nite caused chaos and Evan Money, Steven Kennedy, Billy McNeil and Sean Vincent went toe to toe to become the 2ND Annual IHW ST Louis Invitational Tournament Champion that Aarons had won last year. This year the hated Sean Vincent would take home the bragging rights.
Everywhere we go Brian and I have a ton of friends and with so many promotions in St Louis it is only magnified which makes going to the shows a ton of fun. Brian had spoken to our friends Jonathan Jones and his wife Lena on the way to the show to find out if they were going to make it to the show but one of their children was in the Hospital so he was unsure of what time they could make it.
Prior to the show started I ran into the people from Iconsofwrestling who have the wonderful Gods of Wrestling painting with so many old and new stars filling this must see painting. This was the first time that I had seen this and I have to say it was a sight to see. I went in to get Brian to let him know that the artist Icon, Ed Schultz and Dotty Mattis were there. While we sat outside talking fans where coming by to check out this masterpiece. Brian mentioned to them that they should contact both Metro Pro and Larry Barber about showing off the poster in Kansas. He also stated that this summer’s big Wrestling Hall of Fame ceremonies in Iowa was about to happen and would be a golden opportunity to share the art with many people that love Wrestling. They are really hard at work promoting this one of a kind piece and was on their way to do double duty that night as they were off to meet our good friend Herb Simmons at MMWA-SICW. If you would like to check out the Gods of Thunder click here.
Before I knew it the doors had open and the crowd filled the building waiting for some great wrestling action. Brian was busy proudly showing off the new MWR Trading card that Mephisto had done which went over well with everyone. The next day he was to announce that Tyler Black would be the 10th card but was keeping it a secret till he posted it on the site. I know if Brian won the lottery he would just make a card for everyone but though expense of making one is reasonable making several can become expensive , so for the time being he is unable to make as many as he would like. If you would are a wrestler, Manager/Valet or referee and would like to have an awesome collectable for you to sell or have I highly recommend that you contact Brian on the details. Already in the set are Santana G, Mark Sterling, MsChif Kahagas, and Mike Sydal. Likewise if you are a business or wrestling school and would like to sponsor a wrestler with your business logo on the card feel free to ask how. Personally I don’t think that it will be complete until there is a Derek Stone and Dubi card.
It seems as if everyone was excited to be a part of Dubi meets the fans so it is getting easier to find people to want to be a part of it. This night wrestling Superfan Erica Jones was joined with her sister Michelle brought birthday boy Joshua Jackson who had just turned 7th and little man Ellies. A great way to celebrate your birthday is at a wrestling show. They were all big fans of Mephisto who happily took the time to take a picture.

Young Braden Pulcher was at IHW for the first time so I let him watch the matches to decide which IHW Star he would take his picture with. Not surprisingly he chose the charismatic “The Kid” Evan Money to have his picture with. Money was successful in the first round Jordan McEntyre in an exciting match and during the intermission posed with his new fan.

Next up was one of the most hardcore wrestling fans in the area Andrew Adams otherwise known as the “Firefighter”. Andrew choose Brandon Aarons at first but when he saw that I took Mickie Knuckles as my picture he changed his mind and we were more than happy to have give him his wish with the hardcore beauty.

Dupo is Mephisto territory and he would be picked once again. This time Kolby Stephens wanted his picture taken with him as well. Mephisto fans would were happy to see him team up with Justin Wade to defeat MR Late Nites men Brandon Graves and Cable. The loss would lead to MR Late Nite firing Cabal while Graves and The Perfect Weapon Morbid attacking their former partner.

The Wrestler of the night who would throw a MWR Shirt to one lucky fan turned out to be young Adam Rich. Rich was returning to the ring after a short absence and would have his hands full with the hated Canadian in the first round of the STL Tournament. Young Dennis Corderant would be the lucky fan that caught the MWR Shirt. Later in the night Rich took the time to have his picture taken with the young fan.
As I mentioned before I always try to choose a picture with a star as well though sometimes I get so busy I do not get it done. I have always been impressed with Mickie Knuckles and she happily posed with me prior to her match with Mia Martinez. Mickie is one tough girl.

As far as Jonathan, him and Lena would not make it till the main event match with Brandon Aarrons and Eric Allen match. They were so impressed that they purchased tickets for IHW’S return to Dupo on July 24th.
MWR Fans thank you for taking the time to read this article. In the near future look for Dubi meets the Fans at Pro Wrestling Epic from Mt Pulaski Illinois and if all goes as planned we will make our long waited debut at New Midwest Wrestling in Springfield Illinois for their show Boiling Point. Keep an eye out for my special interview with Blake Steel as he goes after the NMW Title currently held by Jonathan Magnus.
Till next time fans, support your local wrestling. I hope to see you at a show real soon.
Love Dubz
