Two friends, Sir Bradley Charles and NWA Kansas Champion Tyler Cook at Metro Pro Wrestling are having major problems getting on the same page. To make matters worse, SBC lost a match against Jeremy Wyatt with the stipulation being that he would become a member of Steven J Girthy’s Girthy Management agency.

On multiple occasions Cook has attempted to assist his friend SBC only to see it backfire and hurt the young star.
MPW cameras caught up with Tyler Cook and SBC and here is what went down.

The LONRS were once mentioned highly in the first ever MWR Tag team of the year award as the awards committee voted them second to the Northstar Express. . The LONRS would become the first and only team to win tag team championships at MWR Promotions in Illinois and Iowa as they accomplished that for AAPW and PWP.

Sterling brought to the table great wrestling knowledge while Sanders would deliver punishing kicks sending the message that the LONRS were to be feared.

Sanders would leave the sport for an MMA career while being replaced with #1 Brett Young as the New LONRS. They would have moderate success before they would go their separate ways.

What do you get when you combine two of the top young talents in the Midwest with the love of comic books? Heroes for Hire that’s who! Jimmy Rockwell and Zach Thompson saw an opportunity in 2011 to step up to the big time at Metro Pro Wrestling for a chance at the NWA Midwest tag team Championship. With a BAM, BOOM and CRASH they would defeat the Beer City Brawlers to make that goal a reality.

Can the Heroes for Hire can survive August at both NWA Dynamo in Glen Carbon Illinois and Metro Pro Wrestling with the titles?

Regardless look for the H4H to be one of the teams that will bring excitement in the Midwest for years to come.
