Last Month we made our way back to MECW in Wood river Illinois for a great night of wrestling. A fun filled card with two men that has to be mentioned as MWR Wrestlers of the Year for 2010 Bailey Mannix and Eric Allen. These two have been friends at times but the desire to be the MECW Championship has been too much for them to maintain the good feelings in the ring.
One of the most entertaining duo in the game is the MECW Tag Team Champions Jordan McEntrye & Knight Wagner otherwise known as Bromance. Led by the vixen Eryn they look to hold onto the titles for a long time. Their biggest test to date is the Bowery Brawlers , consisting of Maddog McDowell and Mauler McDarby. Can Bromance keep this young team at bay?
For the first time I was on hand to see the new MECW Independent Champion Ricky Kwong led by his manager Chad Mylan. Mylan has been a handful at 3XW in Iowa and the drive all the way to Illinois has not calmed the eccentric manager. Can former champion Gabriel Brimstone or fan favorite Jimmy Rockwell spoil Mylan’s plans to take over MECW?
Chris L.O.G.A.N has been very impressive in his short time at the MWR coverage area, taking on the likes of Mannix and Tony Kozina. He is able to over power you and punish you with multiple suplexs. Look for big things to come from this man.
Sarin Sinn brought in some muscle from Chicago with the debut of Mike Anthony. What will the veteran Anthony have in mind for his future at MECW?
.
Can the Youth sensation Evan Money rebound after coming up short last month in his bid for the MECW Title?
This and much more is why you should check out MECW in WoodRiver on October 23rd.

Missouri Wrestling Revival was front and center at Metro Pro Sports Wrestling last weekend for an exciting night of wrestling. They will return to action in less than a month and you will not want to miss the hard hitting action. Lets take a look at a great match between ECW Original Tommy Dreamer and “Superstar” Steve Fender.
There is no doubt, Saturday night was electric- with amazing action in the ring and what we can best describe as oddness outside of it. Trust us- you are going to need to watch the show, because our camera crews caught some very interesting conversations.
Who was desperately seeking an opponent and wound up looking in…the bathroom?
Why was Jeremy Wyatt seen grabbing Steve Girthy?
What role did Harley Race play in the evening? Is he still the King?
A huge thanks to all of our great fans who came out and supported Metro Pro on Saturday.

If you live in the STL area take the drive one evening, and though it is around a hour and half to two hour show, you will never know who will be making their way to the ring at IWAU.

Opportunity knocks this weekend for wrestlers and fans in the Midwest.
Are you a wrestler who is looking to catch an eye of a WWE Scout? Or are you a fan who wants to see wrestlers who could very well shape the sport as we know before they become household names?
Then this is the weekend for you, the 2010 WLW/Noah camp will be held once again in Eldon Missouri with aspiring wrestler who will be giving it a 100% to get noticed from the most influential men in the sport today. Not only will the WWE Hall of Famer and legend Harley Race to be in attendance but so will representatives of WWE and Japan’s NOAH themselves.
Some of the most talented men in the wrestling world have taken a part of this camp in the past and the future of our sport will be in the Midwest this week to improve their skills.
We hope to see you there this Saturday for this must see show.
Last week was a busy week at MWR as we supported three great wrestling promotions in our coverage area.
First on Wednesday September 22 we traveled for the very first time to Olney Illinois to check out IWA Unlimited. IWAU provides the fans of Olney a FREE weekly show each Wednesday at the Knights of Columbus filled with some of the top young talent in Illinois.
IWAU fan favorite The Intimidator came to the ring with the MWR shirt letting their fans know that we were in the house. He stated that he would give the shirt to the loudest fan but when it was hard to determine the loudest fan he closed his eyes and tuned around and threw the shirt to. IWAU Fan Jennifer I asked Jennifer who was her favorite wrestler and was not shy at all when she stated “Homicidal” Steven Davis. The Intimidator and Davis were kind enough to pose with Jennifer and her family in the ring.

Three days later on Saturday September 25th we returned to the reigning MWR Promotion of the year MMWA-SICW as they continued their fine tradition of working with the community as they teamed up with the Hillsdale Police department to provide a free outdoor show.
When I arrived I found my good friend Herb Simmons, Tim Miller and Keith Miller preparing for an exciting day of wrestling.

Not only was the fans able to watch a great wrestling show the MMWA-SICW, the Police department and the Mayor of Hillsdale offered free hotdogs, soda, and backpacks for the children.
One of the Midwest hottest young stars Ace Hawkins had a great day giving away free bicycles, backpacks, Wrestling at the Chase t-shirts and was kind enough to wear a MWR T-shirt to the ring before his match with The Mauler. Bernard Shaw JR was the lucky fan who caught the shirt from the man who debuted in ROH earlier this year.

In the house were WWE Hall of Famer and father of current WWE Champion Randy Orton, Cowboy Bob Orton.

Orton stated that was thrilled that he was happy that the community had came out, and in action were two of the greats The Gorgeous One” Gary Jackson and Ron Powers in St Louis were in action today.
Later that night, we made our way back to MECW in Wood River Illinois for a fun filled night of wrestling. MR K was absent for the night so fan favorite Shawn Santel had the honors or the stress of trying to keep Eric Allen, Chris L.O.G.A.N and Lovely Leon in check as they were up to no good all night long.
A week prior to Bailey Mannix big tag team match with partner Christopher Daniels at Windy City Pro Wrestling at Toyota Park in Chicago we were fortunate to have Mannix wear out MWR shirt to the ring and throw it out to Jesse Guffey who had came with a couple of his friends for a fun filled night.

I would like to thank each of the three promotions for their hospitality and the wrestlers that took the time to spread the word of MWR to the fans of the Midwest.
Throughout the years wrestling fans have come to love and hate the men in the black and white. Regardless of your feelings towards hard working men and women that do their best to keep the chaos under control, one can not deny the hard work that it takes for them to do their job.
That is why with great pleasure we are presenting the very first referee MWR Trading Card and that man is none other than “Skeletor” Jeromy Robb.
Robb got trained by one in the very best at the Harley Race Wrestling Academy before making his home in Des Moines Iowa to work with the 2008 MWR Promotion of the Year 3XWrestling. Since then he has earned the title of Senior referee at not only 3XW but MECW as well.
You can also catch Robb from Kansas City to Chicago with top promotions as Metro Pro Wrestling and Windy City Pro Wrestling.
MWR Fans do not miss the chance to get your hands on the very first MWR Referee Trading card.

While driving to the IHW show last month we were debuting the MWR Trading card featuring the one and only Tony Kozina, I thought how cool would it be to have Kozina autograph a card and give you a chance to win one on our site?
So is born the MWR Wrestler give away. How this is going to work is now and then we will give you a chance to win FREE wrestling merchandise featuring some of the top stars in the sport today.
Like I said the first ever MWR Wrestler give away is with Tony Kozina. Watch the video here and you will only have to answer two questions correctly to receive in the mail for free an autograph MWR Trading card of Tony Kozina.
Funny story, while I was taping this feature I stated that Kozina had wrestled in Japan, watch his expression when I state that, the reason? He in fact had not wrestled there before, but Kozina who is a true professional was not offended and after watching it said just to keep it the way it is, maybe for a good laugh later.
I am not the best interviewer so here are the two questions that you have to be the first to answer.
1) What Pro Wrestling Legend ‘s movie did Kozina wrestle against, that was filmed right here in the Midwest in Kansas? This event was covered extensively at MWR and a hint was during a NWA Dynamo Show.
2) Who was Kozina’s tag team partner when he won the AWA Pinnacle Tag Team titles?
Now MWR Fans, it is time to do your homework and find out the answers of these two questions. Be the first to answer then you will be the owner of a MWR Tony Kozina Trading card signed by the star himself.
Right down below your answers on LEAVE A Comment at the end of this post.
Good luck and look for more MWR Wrestler giveaway’s from your number one site that covers wrestling in the Midwest.
