At Total Nonstop Wrestling’s fan interaction at the Ameristar Casino in ST Charles Missouri on April 17th. During the festivities that included a meet and greet with some of the top pro wrestling stars in the world today. Nick Ridenour and I presented wrestling greats Ric Flair, Dory Funk JR, Bobby “The Brain Heenan” and Baron Von Raschke with their St. Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame Plaques.

The St Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame can be seen at the Historic South Broadway Athletic Club in St Louis Mo 7th & Shenndoa. Fan that would like to check out the next wrestling show will be on May 8th at 7 pm.

The ST Louis Wrestling Hall of fame was opened in 2007 by former owner and promoter of the St. Louis Wrestling Club Larry Matysik. He has been joined by directors promoters Tony Costas Herb Simmons, webmaster Mitch Martsey, sports journalist Keith Schildroth, and longtime fan Nick Ridenour. Although these directors oversee the selection process, the St. Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame is unique because it is the only wrestling hall of fame that allows fans to vote for potential inductees

Posted by flairwhoooooo on April 27, 2010

World League Wrestling fans can vouch that Santana G can win the hearts of fans in just one glance.  Santana G not only threw out the MWR T-SHIRT to two lucky fans she debuted the Santana G MWR Trading card.  Yes that is right she has her very own trading card and for a sneak peak all you have to do is go to our friends at Wrestling Trading Cards.com as she is featured along with the MWR Cards on the front page along with the top women in the sport of MsChif.

This weekend she went toe to toe with WLW Ladies Champion Amy Hennig on Friday and Saturday nights and giving Amy Hennig an opponent that could be her rival for years to come. Ric Flair had Harley Race, Ricky  Steamboat and Sting. Amy’s dad the  great  Curt Hennig  had Bret Hart, Nick Bockwinkel and  Shawn Michaels

Now we all can look forward to Amy Hennig vs. Santana G. Two beauties that take the sport seriously and will make the Midwest wrestling proud. Add in matches with MsChif and the possibility of the return of the 2008 MWR Women’s wrestler of the Year Stacey O’Brien in the fall and it could be a four way race for dominance in the women’s division in 2010.

Look for the full MWR write up debut of Santana G’s card in the future but why wait to see it when you can get a sneak peak at Wrestlingtradingcards.com.

Golden Circle: Metro Sexual Mania?

Posted by flairwhoooooo on April 24, 2010

By Greg Anthony

Wrestling is a tough business. We’ve got grown men throwing and slamming each other and Contrary to popular belief, it hurts. In addition, we’ve all got that “jock” mentality. Machismo reaching a boiling point a lot of times. With all that being said, Metro sexual Mania is still running wild in pro wrestling.

Here I am in a locker room with some of the toughest men I’ve ever known and I hear things like… “Do I look bloated?”, “Your abs look great”, “Does my ass look flat in these tights?”. Everyone has said or done something to that extent. Have you ever asked another man to rub baby oil on your back? Not acceptable at the gym but its ok in pro wrestling. Some of things I’ve seen and heard would make a great Saturday Night Live skit.

We all have friends outside the business. Being in Tennessee some of mine are good ole boys from the country. Things that are musts/requirements in wrestling seem very gay to the average male. Like highlighting your hair or the extensive man-scaping that goes on with a pro wrestler. Even tanning in a tanning bed is a little much for some men.

Once, back in the LAW in Dyersburg days, Christian Jacobs had a run in during the show. So CJ was dressed in a pair of jeans with no shirt and had oiled up. Waiting for his spot Chris O’Neal comes asks if he has time to run to Taco Bell with him? Cj agrees and hops in the car Chris. They get back and tell me they went to the drive thru. I can only imagine what the people working the window must have been thinking with two males, one shirtless and oiled up coming thru. The best part is that Chris was wearing a Picture Perfect t-shirt with his and CJ’s picture on the front. You can’t write stuff like that.

Is metro sexuality good or bad for wrestling? I can’t answer that myself. I think we are more a product of the environment that anything else. We are constantly under the microscope like super models. To be thin, tan or whatever magazine dream people think we should be thus creating this sometime insecurity about our appearance. I say be healthy but be you, I promise you can’t go wrong with that.. and when “The Golden Boy’ Greg Anthony makes a promise its as good as gold.

What will be the next chapter in this ongoing struggle? Be there on Saturday April 24th to find out!

*** “Babyface” Tony Cortez will defend the Pro Wrestling Phoenix Heavyweight Championship against The Murder Militia’s Joey Daniels. Will the champion have what it takes to retain his coveted title, or will the overwhelming odds of The Murder Militia be too much for Cortez to handle?

We have been told that Strife’s doctors have forbidden him competition until further notice, however – Chris Havius and Donnie Peppercricket are sure to be gunning for revenge on Strife’s behalf. Last month, Havius & Donnie nearly had the PWP Tag Team Titles reclaimed, only to win via DQ – will they be looking to grab the titles back from The Murder Militia on April 24th?

Ted DiBiase Receives 2010 Iron Mike Award – From the Cauliflower Alley Club website

Posted by flairwhoooooo on April 15, 2010

An Award; An Inspiration

Upon completion of nearly 80 minutes interviewing Ted DiBiase over the phone, there’s a parallel easily drawn between this dialogue and his past wrestling promos. Be it as a rising babyface talent, or from listening to his heel comments broadcast nationwide at the desk of Gordon Solie on Superstation WTBS, it is a self-assured coolness he conveys. A confident quality that with every word uttered, his audience can see that he believes what he says, and thus they can too, even if they might disagree with his viewpoint.

Only once during the course of the interview is there a deviation from his baritone. DiBiase’s voice wavers slightly as he is asked to comment on the scope of his being selected as the Cauliflower Alley Club’s 2010 recipient of the Iron Mike Award. “This is one of those times when I wish my Dad was here to see this,” DiBiase says. “This award is voted on not only by my peers… but by my father’s peers as well. It’s the highest award that can be given to a pro wrestler. It’s perhaps the most sentimental award you could receive. I think it’s pretty cool, and it’s very special to me.”

For the rest of this great read click here.

Missouri Wrestling Revival is featured at Wrestlingtradingcards.com “The Best Information Site of Wrestling Trading Cards on the Net!”

Posted by flairwhoooooo on April 15, 2010

 

We are honored to be featured at Wrestling trading cards.com.

What you don’t know about Wrestling Trading cards.com? Let’s find out more about them.

About WTC

We collect them, too. Collect what, you say? Wrestling trading cards of course. For years we have found the trading card side of the wrestling hobby something that brought us closer to the action, to the stars themselves. Yes, they hold some kind of monetary value, but that’s not what inspired us to do this website. Other websites feature some of what we are offering, so please
use our Links page to visit those sites. Some of them are the inspiration for this site!

Over the past few years, we have been all over the Internet looking for websites that could helpus gain knowledge as to the wrestling cards we have and for information for the cards we don’thave. The wrestling trading card collecting world doesn’t appear to be as big as sports cardsor even non-sports cards (the latter is what wrestling cards falls under), but we did manage tofind a few places that did a pretty good job of assisting us in our collections. Some of thosesites are listed on our Links page.

Through our World Wide Web travels, we found that there really wasn’t a website strictlydevoted to detailed information and complete checklists to professional wrestling tradingcards. Sure, we found a few sites that had lists of Wants/Needs lists and others that listed lotsof cards, stickers, postcards, game cards, etc., but we really wanted to see a website devotedto putting together “official” checklists for only professional wrestling trading cards. So, we gotthe idea to start our own website dedicated to just these things. We started with our owncollections, detailing every aspect of our cards and started creating this website … onechecklist at a time. Now, we are over 100 checklists and we keep on getting information fromother collectors about other cool card sets.

Everything on this site is done as a labor of love for the hobby. We are not trying to sell
anything or make any money from this site. We simply wanted to create something special forother wrestling trading card collectors.

We hope you enjoy this site and we look forward to hearing from other collectors about whatthey like, don’t like and help support our efforts to bringing the information to other collectors.

You can either email us by using the Contact link above or post your thoughts, ideas, concernson our Message Board.

Our goal is simple … To be the best resource for checklists and information about wrestlingtrading cards anywhere on the Internet.

We would like to thank WTC for having our cards and the checklist at their site as this is another way MWR is doing our best to get the names of the Midwest stars worldwide.

If you are a wrestler that would like to be a part of the MWR Trading card series please contact me at flairwhoooooo@yahoo.com for more information.

MWR presents MMWA-SICW with the 2009 MWR Promotion of the Year plaque.

Posted by flairwhoooooo on April 12, 2010

On April 3r at a packed house at the South Broadway Athletic Club myself , Head write Kari Williams and fan relations Dubray Tallman was in the middle of the ring with Promoter Tony Costa and Tim Miller with the 2009 MWR Promotion of the Year.

The Promotion of the Year is always the most debated among the MWR Awards committee due to the fact there are so many good promotions running today.

In 2009 MMWA-SICW continued to be one of the top drawing shows in the Midwest. They ran over 30 shows while celebrating their 50 Years at Chase that received a full spread in the St Louis Dispatch did a complete and separate spread on 50 years at the Chase with the old stars such Harley Race, Johnny Valentine, Jack Brisco and new stars in Gary Jackson, the Lumberjacks, Dave Vaughn and more.

The MMWA-SICW was also active in work with the community. Announcer and Executive Director Tim Miller had been instrumental with giving back. MMWA-SICW lent a helping hand in the benefit the family of fallen police officer Julius Moore who was killed due to the result of injuries sustained during an on-duty vehicle accident on Tuesday, October 6, 2009. He was 23 years old. The event raised more than $2200 through food sales alone to benefit Police Officer Julius Moore’s family including his three young children, two sons and a daughter all under the age of 5. The event was covered by the press and over 2,000 people showed up to support the cause.

In 2009 MMWA-SICW have given the fans a chance to meet the stars of wrestling by having Harley race, Dave Hebner, Bob Hardcore Holly, Larry Matysik ,Mickey Garagioloa and most recently the wild popular Baron Von Raschke.

These were just a few of the reason why they were chosen as the MWR Promotion of the year.

Once again we would like to thank MMWA-SICW for their hospitality and I highly recommend that you check out them in 2010.

On a personal note I was very excited to be invited up the commentating booth by Herb Simmons during the title match between Champion Dave Vaughn and Phil E Blunt. I was nervous up till I left the booth so I can’t be honest on how well i did but it was truly a great time .

Look for MWR at a local show near you in 2010.
