Oliver Cain defeats Eddie Edwards; one of the best in the world at NWA Supreme.

The NWA X-Division Champ Oliver Cain was faced with his biggest challenge to date when he was set to defend his title against former Ring of Honor World Champion Eddie Edwards.  In a battle that saw Eddie Edwards chop the living daylights out of the champ from ring post to ring post, the fans were seen shrieking from the sounds of the blows to Cain’s chest.  
 
Midway through the match Oliver Cain was on the ropes, bleeding from the chops and a clothesline that looked to take Cain out of the matchup for good.  Cain  could have easily of given up, a lesser  man would have.
 
 With the heart and dedication of a champion Oliver Cain stepped up his game to show Eddie Edwards why he was the NWA X-division Champion. 
 
With an flying elbow, from the top rope, and some vicious kicks to Edwards the fight was on. Edwards still looked in control  as the match heated up. It would be one mistake from Edwards during the match that would have the fan favorite Cain have hope. As Edwards went  for the pin, Cain hooked a triangle choke on the ROH Starwhile getting his own shoulders off the mat to escape the pin.
 
At first it looked as if Edwards would be able to escape himself but as Cain adjusted his body and put on the pressure, Edwards had no other choice but to tap out to the NWA X-Division Champion.
 
Fans came to their feet as the two men shook hands in middle of the ring.

Even Powerhouses like Mason Beck can find himself looking up at an onslaught from Zero Gravity.

How can you not love the team of Zero Gravity?

Don’t blink or you will miss them as they will hit you high, then hit you low and back high again. The team of Zero Gravity is always a threat to steal the show.

The first ever PWE tag team champions have returned once again to New Midwest Wrestling providing fans in Springfield to celebrate.

The talented duo who was MWR’S Dubray Tallman’s pick for her favorite tag team never fail to impress as their talents have been sought out past the MWR Coverage area which certainly have cost them spots in this list.

8) The Lumberjacks (Abe and Gabe)

Posted by flairwhoooooo on August 11, 2011

They are the Dudleys of their generation in the Midwest. They would go on to capture the MMWA-SICW title so many times that wrestling expert Patrick Brandmeyer stated that to figure out the history of the MMWA-SICW tag titles all you have to do “Just fill in the blanks in between the Lumberjacks reign.”

Lack of title defenses during the MWR years hurt them in their legacy but a great match with the 2009 MWR Tag Team of the Year The Hooligans only added to their legacy.

The Lumberjacks were featured for the MMWA-SICW 50 year anniversary the St Louis Dispatch put the brothers on the front page of a great look at wrestling in St Louis. Members of the Missouri Wrestling Hall of Fame.

Ron Powers’ reign of terror continues!!

Posted by flairwhoooooo on August 9, 2011

By Brian Kelley

Ron Powers in 2011 has been big, bad and just plain mean. To start the year he would turn on his best friend Danny Boy Hawkins giving him a beat down that was hard to watch. He would follow that up by taking Danny Boy’s Classic Wrestling Championship title while ending his career.

He was just getting started, after taking out Danny Boy he has set his sights on MMWA-SICW promoter Herb Simmons. When Simmons brought in Cowboy Bob Orton, Ted Dibiase and Dory Funk Jr so that the fans could have a chance to meet some of the all-time greats, Ron Powers in some demented way took offense to that.

In an odd pairing to say the least, Sean Vincent, the cocky and brash Canadian has been one of Powers henchmen in all of his evil deeds. Powers jealousy and rage has not only been targeted towards the legends but also newcomer LaMarcus Clinton who the fans have quickly gotten behind. Powers would challenge the high flying youngster to a match. Clinton was quickly put on the spot against one of the best ever in the Midwest in his very first year. The weight, the experience and brute strength of Powers would be too much for Clinton as Powers would get the win….but after the bell was rung; Powers continued to attack Clinton thus forcing the ref to reverse the decision in favor of the young star Clinton.

Last month in East Carondelet, Power’s ego would be front and center once again when he challenged anyone to an arm wrestling match. A MMWA-SICW security employee came out but stood no chance of beating power. Out came wrestler Pete Madden who gave it his all but quickly fell to the monster Powers when out of the back came young Chris Hargas.

Hargas one of the young studs of MMWA-SICW was fired up but not as angry as the champ seem to be as he looked on the other side of the table knowing that Hargas was in awesome shape. After several moments of stalling Powers and Hargas sat down to decide who the top arm wrestler was. At first it looked like another win for Powers but Hargas fought and never gave up until it looked as if he had Powers beat. Yet before MMWA-SICW Commissioner Keith Smith could call the victoryPowers had snapped.

Brutally attacking Hargas with chair shot after chair shot while Sean Vincent antagonized and assisted the champ. Powers quickly sent a message to Hargas that he was not amused.

Later that night during a CAC Championship match between Ron Powers and Chaz Wesson, Hargas had regrouped and though you could see he was in pain, was fired up coming through the door and after Powers. The locker room had to be emptied to separate the two and regain peace.

That leaves us to this month; Chris Hargas is set up to team up with Chaz Wesson to take on Ron Powers and Sean Vincent.
We caught up with Ron Powers and Sean Vincent moments after Hargas and Powers were separated and they had this to say.

MMWA-SICW returns August 20th in East Carondelt with a co-main event featuring two of the very best in the country when Gary Jackson meets Mark Sterling.

Get your tickets and come out of the heat into the AC at MMWA-SICW in East Carondelet.

10) The Ego Express (KC Karrington and Steven Kennedy)

Posted by flairwhoooooo on August 9, 2011

One of the most underrated is the tag team division makes their home in St Louis. When the Ego Express of Steven Kennedy and KC Karrington enter the ring together it Is magical. There were able to defeat the Northstar Express in an exciting matchup in their home turf and they are twice the team now than they were back then. The Egos also had great matches with several of the best in the game including the LONRS, the Hooligans, the Bum Rush Brothers and Vinyl and Vega.

As with many young tag teams, the problem is that each man had a desire for singles glory. Currently Karrington is the NWA Missouri Champion and Kennedy who is coming off an injury is still by his partners side as the two are currently causing trouble at NWA Dynamo.
