All American Pro Wrestling Feb 27th AAPW Heavyweight Champ Mississippi Madman vs. Jermey Wyatt recap by Mike Van Hoogstraat.

Posted by flairwhoooooo on March 31, 2010

By Brian Kelley

A trip to AAPW is always guaranteed to be a good time. Add on a match of the Year canadite in the AAPW Champion the Mississippi Madman and taking on “The Belt Collector” Jeremy Wyatt you knew I could not miss it.

A great day of hanging with my girlfriend Dubray, who did “Dubi Meets the AAPW Fans” (if you missed it then click here,MWR Photographer extrordinar Mike Van Hoogstraat and my good friend Jonathan Jones. Later in the night we caught up with Adam Testa to watch some exciting wrestling action.

On the night we saw a feud heat up when Badboy Chris Thomas and his manager Brooklyn Bobby left former AAPW Champion Edmund “Livewire” McGuire laying that would lead to a falls Count anywhere match in Herrin Illinois on April 10th.

In the main event we saw two warriors go at it as Wyatt came within moments of becoming the AAPW Champion for the first time. The fans were still furious at Wyatt’s actions and wanted more. AAPW as always gives the fans what they want and in the Main event in Herrin Illinois it will be The Mississippi Madman vs. Jeremy Wyatt 2.

Also on the card will be former WWE/ECW Superstar Simon Dean/ Nova going one on one with recently released WWE’s Paul Burchill.

This and much more will be why you will not want to miss AAPW on April 10th.

Till then sit back and enjoy the AAPW Photo recap by Mike Van Hoogstraat.

Missouri Wrestling Revival Trading card #4 MsChif SOLD OUT

Posted by flairwhoooooo on March 22, 2010

#4 is my favorite number. My friends and most wrestling fans will quickly know why. Ric Flair and “The Four Horseman”. So when I go buy a lottery ticket I make sure that that number is one of them. Later in life 4 would special as well. My son who is the All State linebacker for his High School team has always worn the number 4. In lesser degree on most days 4:00 is the home stretch of my work day.

So what does this have to do with pro wrestling you may ask?

High Voltage Wrestling Cocked Locked and Loaded This Saturday!!! Mschif vs Santana G 2

Posted by flairwhoooooo on February 18, 2010

 

St Louis’s sweetheart Santana G will be coming home this Saturday at High Voltage Wrestling’s Cocked Locked and Loaded, fresh off of her appearance at TNA on Spike TV. Wrestling fans join me in Granite City Illinois to welcome her back and to cheer her on in her rematch with the greatest women’s wrestler in world today, MsChif.

Yes, you heard me right tonight MWR got confirmation from HVW’S TNT Keny G that it will be Santana G vs. MsChif 2 this Saturday!!!

The NWA Women’s World Champion and SHIMMER Champion MsChif will meet the young up and comer Santana G once again.(Photo Credit Michael R Van Hoogstraat)

Last December one of the most popular wrestlers in the Midwest, Santana G tested herself against the very best and I have been excited about a rematch ever since. Santana G just recently defended her Coastal Championship Women’s wrestling title against Jessika Haze in Florida and is hoping that her extensive training and experience from last December will help her shock the wrestling world by beating the NWA Women’s and SHIMMER Champion.

This weekend marks the return of the HVW Champion Kahagas who is celebrating a new titles he gain the CCW Championship by beating former WWE Star Scotty 2 Hotty !!! In December the Kansas City Killers Mark Sterling and Jeremy Wyatt made their way to Florida and jumped Kahagas at CCW and making matters worse, they videotaped it for the whole world to see. The HVW champion asked for a match with the youngest of the Killers, Pro Wrestling Illustrated Rookie of the Year and HVW Livewire Champion Mike Sydal.

Will this be a wise move for the Champ or will the young Sydal add the International Superstar Kahagas to his win column?

Wyatt and Sterling will have their own problems with the HVW Champions and the 2009 MWR Tag team of the Year Devin and Mason Cutter otherwise known as the Hooligans. Our sources states that after Kahagas got his wish to take on Sydal, the Killers demanded that their match with the Hooligans be not a tag match but in singles competition.

The Hooligans (Photo Credit Michael R Van Hoogstraat)

The Killers will look to divide and conquer one of the most dominate tag teams in wrestling today. The Hooligans will be out for blood as they try to avenge their lil brother Neil Diamond Cutter after the vicious beat down he took from the Killers after the match this past December at HVW.

It will be the 2009 MWR Wrestler of the Year Mark Sterling taking on Devin Cutter while the Rebel Jeremy Wyatt will meet Mason Cutter.

Fans have been waiting for the battle of B.A.B.EWatch and it will happen when Brandon Aarons goes one on one against his former partner Brandon Espinosa. It was not to long ago that these two were predicted by many to be among the future of Tag team team wrestling in the Midwest.

I am excited about this intriguing match up between these two friends that got much more important by TNT Keny G’s announcement that it will be a number one contenders match for Mike Sydal’s HVW Livewire Championship in the future.

Also on the card will be The Magic Mans new protégé The Dixieland Destroyer, Alexander Rudolph, Dan the Man, Eric Allen and much more.

Join Missouri Wrestling Revival this Saturday at High Voltage Wrestling Cocked Locked and Loaded!!!

PWP’s 2010 Year of the Phoenix V Photo Recap by Gary Giaffoglione – Jayden Draigo returns

Posted by flairwhoooooo on January 23, 2010

Photos by Gary Giaffoglione

The show started with a shocking return, as Jayden Draigo made his way to the ring. Draigo was a staple of the Omaha area wrestling scene for many years, but left PWP on very bad terms back in early 2006, so to see him again in the PWP ring came as quite a shock to many. Draigo went on to explain that the 4 men who had been collectively known as The Murder Militia had been on top of the company for a long run, but lacked the vision and guidance to bust through to the next level – which he was there to offer. He promised the PWP faithful that change was on its way.

*** Matty Star defeated Stephen Saint. After the match, The Murder Militia’s “Rebel” Jeremy Wyatt returned to PWP, and laid out both men. Wyatt went on to state that he was back, and coming for “his” PWP Heavyweight Title.

You can not trust the Rebel as Saint soon found out.(Photo Credit Gary Giaffoglione)

This brought out Jaysin Strife, the man who took the title from Wyatt – Strife and Wyatt then debated over their past accomplishments, which finally brought out “The Anarchist” Arik Cannon. Cannon said they all had done a lot to be proud of, but instead of talking about it – why not lace up their boots, and see who was the best in a 3-Way Dance later in the evening.

*** Abu Colossus defeated David Clark. Clark’s stock continued to rise, even in defeat, proving that this rookie is not to be taken lightly. However, Abu showed everybody once again that he is undoubtedly one of the strongest forces in PWP.

*** PWP Heavyweight Champion, “Babyface” Tony Cortez came out and stated that he would be a fighting champion, but would be choosing his own challenger for the night, he chose “The Rockstar” Jimmy Rockwell. Cortez obviously underestimated Rockwell, as Jimmy nearly had the match and the title won at several points. In the end however, Cortez showed that he truly is one of the very best, picking up the win.

After the match, Jayden Draigo came back out, to confront Tony Cortez. Draigo spoke about the history the two shared, both being pioneers for independent pro wrestling in the area, and even talking about how Draigo was the one to initially train Cortez. Jayden offered Cortez a spot in the Murder Militia, telling him to at least consider it.

*** Up next, The Murder Militia’s Mark Sterling & Joey Daniels were to challenge Chris Havius & Donnie Peppercricket for the PWP Tag Team Titles. An irate Havius came out alone, saying that he just found Donnie bloodied in the back. Sterling & Daniels kept yelling for Havius to simply forfeit the titles – however Havius insisted on fighting, even if it was 2 on 1. Havius held his own, but took a severe beating – until Jaysin Strife ran out, hoped into Chris’ corner, and stepped up as his partner. Strife cleaned house, until he was pulled out of the ring, and sent into the ring post by Jayden Draigo. With Strife out of the picture, Havius was overwhelmed by the odds, and Sterling & Daniels became the new PWP Tag Team Champions. The new champions celebrated with Draigo as they made their way to the back.

*** In the main event, “The Rebel” Jeremy Wyatt, Jaysin Strife, and “The Anarchist” Arik Cannon squared off in a fast paced, epic encounter. In the end, The Murder Militia’s Mark Sterling and Brett Young pulled Cannon out of the ring and held him as Joey Daniels laid a beating on him – while the referee was trying to get order restored, in the ring, Jayden Draigo hit Strife with a Super Kick, followed by Wyatt hitting The Lightning Spiral. The referee slid back in just in time to count the three, making Wyatt the winner.

After the match, Wyatt and Draigo put the boots to Strife, as Tony Cortez made his way to the ring applauding and smiling. Cortez got in the ring, and raised the arms of Draigo and Wyatt – but then in a shocking moment, Cortez hit a double Flatliner on both men, to a huge ovation from the crowd. Helping Strife up, Cortez and Strife then fought off the other members of the Murder Militia, before Draigo called them all back to regroup. The night ended with Cortez and Strife standing tall.

The Murder Militia appears to be stronger than ever, having reclaimed the PWP Tag Team Titles, and now with the guidance and vision of Jayden Draigo – however, the PWP resistance is far from dead as well. What will happen next? We’ll just have to wait and see!

We now look to Saturday February 13, 2010 – where Pro Wrestling Phoenix will hold it’s 50th EVENT!!

Details coming very soon!
