Legends of Wrestling on August 20th in Harrison, Arkansas to feature Jerry Lawler, Sabu, Butch Reed, and Bobby Eaton
Posted by flairwhoooooo on August 9, 2011
On August 20th, Michael Barry will be defending the Mid-States Wrestling Heavyweight Title against Jerry Lawler at MSW’s “Legends of Wrestling” event in Harrison, Arkansas. Mid-States Wrestling has posted a video from Lawler to the fans talking about his career defining moment and him winning 164 titles in his illustrious carrer. Lawler also said he is going to take Barry’s title and add it to his long list of accomplishments.
For more info please check out my friend Mike Iles website OKLAFAN.COM with a great article called “The Scoop” Click here to check it out.
Saturday, August 20th at the Brandon Burlsworth Youth Center in Harrison, Arkansas, Mid-States Wrestling presents its first ever “Legends of Wrestling” event.
In the main event, Heavyweight Champion Michael Barry defends the title against World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Famer, and current “Monday Night RAW” broadcaster Jerry “The King” Lawler. Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, Jerry Lawler got his start in pro wrestling in 1970 and is a legend, holding over 160 titles in his illustrious career, including the American Wrestling Association World Heavyweight Title. Michael Barry, has held the Mid-States Wrestling Heavyweight Title 4 times, more than anyone else in the company’s 8 year existence. This will be Barry’s biggest challenge of his title reign, and possibly his career.
In other matches, “White Trash” Gary Gram takes on the homicidal, suicidal, and genocidal Sabu. Gary Gram can be somewhat unpredictable in his matches, but is he ready for a wrestler the likes of Sabu. More importantly, is Harrison and the state of Arkansas ready for a wrestler the likes of Sabu?
Other legends scheduled to appear include Hacksaw Butch Reed and Beautiful Bobby Eaton.
In addition to being a former Mid-States Wrestling Heavyweight Champion, Butch Reed has held titles all around the country including in Mid-South Wrestling where he held the North American Title twice, the Television Title, and the Tag Team Titles (with Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart), In the National Wrestling Alliance, Reed was also a multiple title holder winning the Central States Tag Team Titles (with Jerry Brown), the International Title, the North American Tag Team Titles (with “Sweet Brown Sugar” Skip Young) and the World Tag Team Titles (with Ron Simmons).
Beautiful Bobby Eaton is probably best known for his days as a member of The Midnight Express. His partnership in that group with Dennis Condrey and later Stan Lane produced 2 NWA World Tag Team Titles, 3 NWA United States Tag Team Titles, Mid-South Tag Team Titles, and numerous regional tag team titles. In all, Eaton has held 31 tag team titles with 15 different partners. Arguably, he is the definition of a “tag team specialist”. But he has also held 19 singles titles in his career including the WCW Television Title.
In addition to these legends, all your favorite Mid-States Wrestling superstars will be action including Independent Wrestling International Champion Darling Dustin Heritage, Southern Tag Team Champions Jim Fallon & Doomsday (with Stephen E), “The Space Cowboy” Jason Jones, SLUGG, and many, many more.
Tickets are on sale now at Extreme Muffler and Music Games & More in Harrison, on eBay, or at the door. Bell Time is 7:30pm.
Also, check out our Facebook site at www.Facebook.com/MidStatesWrestling.

The talents of Michael Barry has earned him time in a WWE ring in the past while his charisma and hard work is the reason so many fans call him MR Saturday Night.
MWR is proud to have Barry as a part of the MWR Trading card series. Barry trained under former Central States great Sonny Myers as he has kept busy building a reputation as one of the very best outside the MWR coverage area.

Pete Sakaris and Brandon Brown win the “Who’s the Superstar in the picture contest”
Posted by flairwhoooooo on July 7, 2010
We would like to congratulate MWR readers Pete Sakaris from Nebraska and Brandon Brown from Missouri for answering the “Who’s the Superstar in the picture contest”.
The First question was who in the picture is the son of a former WWE Hall of Famer?
That none other was the son of WWE Hall of Famer Ted Dibiase, Mike Dibiase. Mike’s Brother Ted is currently a WWE Superstar.
Brandon will receive an autograph 8×10 of Mike’s dad Ted Dibiase.
Ted Dibiase
Before Ted became a household name he put himself up against some of the best in the world right here in the Midwest. Dibiase would capture the NWA Missouri Championship twice in ST Louis, Mo.
Dibiase defeated Dick Slater on August 12, 1977 and would earn his second reign on November 21, 1981 against Ken Patera.
Dibiase would go onto to be one of the most hated/loved wrestlers in this generation as the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase. Pro Wrestling Illustrated would name Ted Dibiase #32 in 2003 in the PWI Years.
The current NWA Missouri Champion is Davey Vega who defeated Dingo in Glen Carbon Illinois last year on October 16th.
The second question was who was the former NWA Central States Champion in this photo?
Pete answered correctly when he named Derek Stone who was on the top nailing Mike Dibiase with the ten punch. Derek Stone became the NWA Central States Champion by defeating Michael Barry, Griz and Gary Jackson in Coffeyville, KS on November 16. 2002
Fun fact: both Mike Dibiase SR and his son Ted would also rein as two time NWA Central States Champion. Mike Sr defeated the Spoiler and The Viking while the future Million Dollar Man pinned Bob Slaughter and “Bulldog “Bob Brown.
The current NWA Central States Champion is the 2009 Missouri Wrestling Revival Wrestler of the Year Mark Sterling. Sterling defeated Michael Strider to become the NWA Central States Champion in 2009.
Pete will be receiving the must have collectable the Mark Sterling MWR Trading Card , which is number two in the set that celebrates the hard working men and women in the Midwest wrestling today.
This picture was taken at CSW in Lawrence Kansas in a three way match between Derek Stone, Mike Dibiase and Mason Hunter. Special thanks goes out to my friend Retro Rick for having information up about this show so I could find some information about it.
I would like to thank everyone for partaking in this contest. Look for exciting information coming from Missouri Wrestling Revival. In the future we have several superstars that will be announced into the MWR Trading Card set, we have some exciting fun promotions in works with our friends at High Voltage Wrestling, Independent Hardcore Wrestling and one with MECW in December that I am thrilled about.
