One of the best kept secrets in the Midwest is “Superstar” Steve Fender. Fender is currently one half of the arguably one of the best tag teams in the game today with Mark Sterling. Fender and Sterling are currently the WLW Tag Team Champions.
Fender has wrestled around the world including World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Pro Wrestling Noah.
Fun fact: Fender became the first American to train at the Pro Wrestling Noah Dojo and has the drive and talent to take on stars Takao Omori , Samoa Joe and Trevor Murdoch.
Fierce and methodical Fender wears down the toughest of opponents until they begin to doubt themselves, then its all over.
When MWR’s Josh Ray returned from Iraq, Fender and Steve Anthony was chosen as a Welcome home match at High Voltage Wrestling. The match was so good that we added it in the first MWR Best of the Midwest DVD.
We are proud to announce that the MWR Trading Card #17 is none other than a true Superstar in Steve Fender.

Missouri Wrestling Revival was on hand to check out Ring of Honor this past weekend in Collinsville Illinois.
Some of the top talent in the sport today thrilled the fans with fact paced and breath taking matches.
The Midwest was strongly represented as the 2009 MWR Wrestler of the Year Mark Sterling, Mike Sydal, Ace Hawkins, Brandon Espinosa and Jordan McEntyre was in action along with Midwest ROH Superstars the ROH Champion Tyler Black, Delirious, Daizee Haze and Davey Richards.
During the intermission Michael Gordon invited all the fans to join him and Rebel Devil Events to the ROH after party (the same one that you had seen advertised on this very site) that would be happing at the bar Hurricanes right down the road.
For a measly five dollars fans not only got to hang with their favorite stars but the party was hosted by Delirious with Comedy set by “Classic” Colt Cabana!
The first person we saw was Rebel Devil’s J. Guy who let us know that we were in for a great night. Boy was he not lying. MWR’S Dubray Tallman started the night off drinking shots with the former women’s World Champion Amazing Kong and that would just be one small example of memories that will last a lifetime for the fans at Hurricanes on that evening.
MWR would like to thank Michael Gordon, J.Guy, the Rebel Devil Events crew and Ring of Honor for having us be a part of this exciting evening. Big props to all the ROH wrestlers who had worked hard during the show and then take time to get to the know the fans that support them.

One of the hardest wrestlers to get your picture with in the Midwest is Mark Sterling (if you don’t believe me ask chuck) Chuck Maddox jumped to get his picture taken with the MWR Wrestler of the Year. Sterling who is normally all business was in good sprits after debuting in Ring of Honor just hours before.

Sorry Keith but i thought it looked good, Yes ST Louis fans that is the one and only Keith Smith

Why is Barbie all smiles after spending time with Christian Able and Truth Martini , Has she learned something from the House of Truth?

Missouri Wrestling Revival returned to World League Wrestlingon July 17th in Park Hills Missouri. In this edition of Dubi meets the fans, Dubray Tallman was unable to take part due to being under the weather.
I was not alone as I was joined by MWR photographer’s Bill Smith, Mike Van Hoogstraat and his good friend Larry Endicott Sr.
To say that MWR felt as this double main event between WLW Champion Trevor Murdoch and Trent Stone in a leather strap match plus WLW Women’s Champion Amy Hennig meeting Santana G was a big deal would be an understatement.
You never know how hard it is to do a job till you have to fill those shoes, that would not be more evident that what it was on this night.
First up was young Austin Coleman from Farmington who chose the young exciting Cancun Kid.

His sister Jersey was all decked out ready for the matches and quickly became a fan of Santana G.

Mike and Braden Chapman sat in the Golden Circle and were more than happy to have their picture taken with former WWE Tag team Champion and current WLW Champion Trevor Murdoch.

Also checking out WLW in the golden circle were Jason and Jonah from Lappe and they wisely chose Trevor Murdoch as their favorite wrestler.

Cody Drennen from Potosi had chosen Santana G as his WLW favorite and I had to laugh after I took the picture Santana G innocently asked “Did you get my new boots in the picture?” How can you not love the talented Santana G?

Two kids were very excited about WLW wrestling were Alan and Zach who I spotted throughout the night getting autographs and conversation from stars like Chris Hargas and Trevor Murdoch.

I was introduced from Larry his friend Charlie Wilkerson from Farmington, Illinois and his son who was having a great time with the action on this evening. Charlie and
While I was getting to know Charlie he told me that he worked at Off-Sets and Zip and Dip which just so happens to be Southeast Missouri’s best place for zip lines, swimming, camping, and even doing archery with equipment from Archerypro or just hanging out with friends or family.
Charlie Wilkerson and his son with Harley Race
I have not told Dubray about this yet because though I plan on taking her when we can fit it in the schedule of our wrestling coverage, she will not let it rest till we go hehehehe. For real I am excited about checking out the place. Charlie was kind enough to support MWR and both asked to get MWR shirts for themselves. For their wrestler they were happy to have the one and only Harley Race. A wise choice if I may say so.
Bianca Hernandez was up next and took the chance to have her picture taken with the WLW Champion Trevor Murdoch.
Trevor Murdoch and Bianca Hernandez
Up next was a great wrestling fan that we at MWR are grateful to have the support of it Kyle Valle. Kyle amazingly found a MWR Shirt at a second hand store. So my question is which MWR Fan gave up your shirt? Just playin, in our 3rd year we have given away and sold close to 200 MWR shirts and I would have to believe that the shirt could not have been found by a better fan. Kyle had a lot of interest to get his photo taken with one of the Midwest most dominate WLW Champs Tag Team and the MWR of 2009 Steve Fender and Mark Sterling.

I have to apologize to Melissa Thurman, Melissa and her husband were two of the first people that I spoke to. They were very nice and I enjoyed getting to know them both. Jimmy was the wrestling fan but she was looking to have a good time. She quickly stated that she wanted her picture taken with Amy Hennig (Wise choice I may add) and just my luck I happen to have lost that photo. Her husband chose the man of the night Trevor Murdoch. Melissa I would like to make it up to you personally so if you would contact me at flairwhoooooo@yahoo.com and we will see if I can make amends.
Trevor Murdoch and Jimmy Thurman
A great night of wrestling that lived up to the hype in Park Hills Missouri with some of the top stars in the game today. Look in the near future from a Photo Recap from Mike Van Hoogstraat and more information of the WLW/NOAH camp coming to Eldon Missouri in October.
Join us in Woodriver Illinois this Saturday for more exciting wrestling action when we return to out friends at MECW. Plus have the chance to catch a MWR T-shirt from a MECW Superstar.
Missouri Wrestling Revival is excited to announce that world wide superstar Davey Richards is now a part of the MWR Trading Card series.
Richards opponents can tell you first hand he is able to use his speed, wrestling ability and knowledge to go along with an explosive attack that can take the heart out of lesser men in the ring.
Trained early on by the talented Tony Kozina, Richards combines wrestling with Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to provide fans with an offense that often leaves them breathless.
Richards is no stranger to MWR as he headlined for the first ever Missouri Wrestling Revival Best of the Midwest DVD in his match with 2008 MWR Wrestler of the Year “The Rebel” Jeremy Wyatt. The Best of the Midwest matches showcased the great talent in the area at several promotions.

Most recently Richards challenged Ring of Honor World Champion Tyler Black for the title on June 19 at Death Before Dishonor VIII Internet PPV. Black would be able to survive in a war worthy of MOTY, but like all great wrestlers even in defeat the match only added to the legend of Richards.

Davey Richards returns to the Midwest this Friday in Collinsville Illinois in a rematch against Generation Me (the former Young Bucks).
Straight from the Ring of Honor website lets take a look at this and ROH’S historic tour throughout the Midwest .
ROH officials announced on June 1st (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/bangforbucks/) that Generation Me (the former Young Bucks) were making their return to Ring of Honor competition on July 23rd and 24th in Collinsville, IL and Chicago Ridge, IL respectively.
Last night, ROH officials finalized the first of Max and Jeremy Buck’s opponents; a team that GenMe wanted to face more than any other in Ring of Honor, the men that beat them in their last Ring of Honor appearance at “SoCal Showdown” (available on DVD ) – Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards – The American Wolves!
On that January night in Los Angeles, Eddie Edwards made Jeremy Buck tap out to the Achilles Lock and that loss has eaten up GenMe for months now. “We know in our hearts that we’re better than The American Wolves,” said Jeremy. “We know we can beat Eddie and Davey, and we know July 23rd will be our night.” Max added, “We have kept our eyes on Ring of Honor. We know Eddie and Davey have been wrapped up in their individual pursuits as of late and I know my brother and I have elevated our skills as a team to a whole new level. We are better than ever, and in St. Louis – Davey Richards’ adopted hometown mind you – we will prove that these young bucks, Generation Me, has always been the better team.”

Brandon Aarons is one of the hottest young stars in the Midwest today
Since defeating Gary J in the semi finals then outlasting Billy McNeil, Adam Rich, & Eric Allen to claim the IHW first ever St Lois Wrestling Invitational cup on June 14th
2010 has been a banner year for the young star since he parted ways in the very talented tag team B.A.B.EWatch with partner Brandon Espinosa. Big wins against would follow him and on February 6th Brandon Aarons defeated Mephisto, Sean Vincent, Billy McNeil, Eric Allen, & Steven Kennedy to become the NEW IHW champion
Aarons has been on a red hot streak since then racking up wins against the likes of Steven Kennedy and Eric Allen plus the big win against the Pro Wrestling Epic US Champion and 2009 MWR Wrestler of the Year Mark Sterling in Mt Pulaski Illinois.
He would become a MWR Triple Crown winner by upsetting Kansas City Killer and 2009 PWI Rookie of the Year Mike Sydal to become the High Voltage Wrestling Livewire Champion at NWA Dynamo Wrestling.
Just last month Brandon Aarons step up to the plate to take on the Ring of Honor World Champion Tyler Black at PWE in an impressive showing before “The Apex” Blake Steel attacked him (Aarons) thus giving the PWE US Champion a bittersweet victory over the World Champion.
The best is yet to come for this rising Midwest star. It is with great pleasure that we announce that the MWR Trading card number 15 is “Irresistible” Brandon Aarons.

"The Future" Donovan Ruddick (Mike Van Hoogstraat)
BIG, POWERFUL and dominating are three words that describe Donovan Ruddick. No wrestler in the Midwest is more feared than the man called the 6”9 monster.
The former High Voltage Wrestling champion was honored in the 2009 Pro Wrestling Illustrated top 500 wrestlers with great matches with the 2008 MWR wrestler of the Year Jeremy Wyatt, Gary Jay, Rebelucha and Kahagas while being led at times by the Magic Man.
People with power have always gravitated to greatness and that is why when he parted ways with the Magic Man, managers looking to get to the top have quickly “leached” or signed on to lead him to the top of the sport. At MMWA-SICW“The Manager of Champions” Travis Cook just this past month had Ruddick within seconds of defeating Dave Vaughn for the coveted title.
Then shocking developments at Pro Wrestling Epicsaw Ruddick turn on his good friend the Mississippi Madman then aligned himself with up and coming manager Mr. Late Nite. That decision would prove wise for a quick moment when Mr. Late Nite signed an immediate title shot for Ruddick against the HWC Champion Jimmy Karryt. Karryt would show true heart but the odds and the true power of Ruddick would be too much for the young star on that night.
Fans will be looking forward to the clash between the Mississippi Madman and a rematch from the “Wrestling Machine” Dave Vaughn to end the year but you will not have to wait to get your hands on this MWR Card featuring the wrestler many feel that lives up to his name and is the Future of Pro Wrestling. Donovan Ruddick.

Brandon Espinosa (Photo Credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
If you have been to a local show in the Midwest the chances are good that you have had the pleasure of seeing Brandon Espinosa in action. One of the hardest working men in the sport today, Espinosa is also one of the most booked wrestlers in the sport.
Whether it is in singles action or as a tag team with former partners Mike Sydal and Brandon Aarons in B.A.B.EWatch Espinosa is capable of taking home the win and stealing the show.
That is why during last year’s MWR revival show Espinosa and Aarons was chosen to team against the 2008 MWR Tag team of the Year the Northstar Express’s Darin Corbin and Ryan Cruz. Little did we know that the loss for B.A.B.EWatch in that match would be the catalyst that would cause the team to be no more.
Since then Espinosa has been on a mission to prove that he is the hottest star in wrestling today. Big wins at MMWA-SICW saw this former HVW Livewire Champion capture both the MMWA-SICW Light Heavyweight title as well as the MMWA-SICW Battle Royal Championship.
We are thrilled to have the talented Brandon Espinosa be a part of the MWR Trading card series.
