Independent Hardcore Wrestling Returns this Saturday in Waterloo Illinois with a main event starring two of the Midwest youngest talents today. IHW Champion Brandon Aarons will have to bring his A game to defeat Bailey Mannix when the two go head to head in the main event if he is to walk out with the title.
We caught up with the challenger Bailey Mannix and he had these words to say.
In a special grudge match it will be the “Future” Donovan Ruddick with MR Late Nite meeting fan favorite Mephisto. How will Mephisto slow down the 6’9 Monster while keeping his eyes on the mastermind Late Nite?
Plus it had just been announced that Evan Money will meet Canadian’s Sean Vincent. Money looks to defend our country’s honor against the 2010 IHW St Louis Wrestling Inventatinal tournament winner. There is no doubt that the fans will be on Moneys side but will it be enough to withstand the momentum that Vincent is riding during this summer?
Lets hear from the popular Evan Money.
Are you an inspiring wrestler looking to learn from one of the best? How about a wrestler that is wanting to up there game? Then you do not want to miss the special Tony Kozina seminar.
The opinions and views expressed from Mr Late Nite do not necessarily reflect the views of Missouri Wrestling Revival.
It’s come to my attention that some of you idiots still aren’t getting the “big picture”. That’s alright, I didn’t expect a high level of intelligence out of wrestling fans. On September 11, at the VFW Hall in Waterloo, Illinois, I will drop a bombshell on the fans of Independent Hardcore Wrestling. Hell, I’ll drop a bomb on the entire head office of that company. “The Future” Donovan Ruddick and I have big plans, that go far beyond the world of professional “wrasslin”, but you’ll just have to wait until the show to find out what my big surprise is. Can you wait that long? Or are you all a bunch of mouth breaking window lickers who can’t wait for anything?
Not only am I going to have a surprise, but you’ll be seeing my client, Donovan Ruddick, go one-on-one against a man that I’ve been waiting to put out of this business for a long time – Mephisto. I don’t understand why fans like this guy. He’s out of shape, fat, has no charisma, and no showmanship. Ya know, maybe fans like Mephisto, because he’s just like the rest of them – a bunch of no talent losers. The fans can see their hero get pounded into oblivion on September 11th. I know a lot of you like the demolition derby, but this will be a human demolition derby. Donovan Ruddick is a monster truck and Mephisto is a Ford Escort. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to beat this idiot, so we can move on to bigger and better things.
If you’re looking for a few more reasons to come check out the show, I suggest you come out to see Brandon Aarons defend his IHW championship against a man who is physically and mentally superior to him – Bailey Mannix. Mannix is a pretty talented individual and his manager, Leon, could make a good assistant one day. Anyway, Bailey’s suspension is up the week of the show and Brandon is going to have to fight a man with nothing to lose and everything to gain. I doubt that pretty boy is going to be prepared for Bailey. Another man I respect, Eric Allen, will be defending his Illinois State title against Billy McNeil. We all know that McNeil got lucky against Sean Vincent in July, but Eric Allen is no slouch. McNeil’s not smart enough to win a match against Allen. You can do all the stupid flips you want, kid, but when you’re wrestling Eric Allen, it’s a mental chess game and McNeil lacks something between his ears to be able to win such a game.
So jump in your pick up trucks, cash your welfare checks, put on your best flannel shirt, brush your tooth, and bring your beer money and come out and see IHW on September 11th at the VFW Hall in Waterloo, Illinois. The gates open at 6:30pm. Make sure you’re there. You wouldn’t want to miss this show.
MR Late Nite
Yee-haw.
Did you miss the last IHW Show? If so lets take a look at all the great action from IHW’S Last Dance in Dupo.
Editors Note: Last week MMWA-SICW open their doors literly to all aspiring wrestlers to have the chance to work with the 2009 MWR Promotion of the Year.
MMWA-SICW has five shows in the works for September and in 2010 fans have had the pleasure to see Donovan Ruddick, Brandon Espinosa, Ace Hawkins, Mark Sterling and most recently Mephisto make their way to the promotion.
I am sad to say that I was unable to attend due to prior commitments but I knew that MWR fans would have a great look into the happenings of this historic event thanks to Pro Wrestling expert Patrick Brandmeyer being able to attend as well as MWR Photographer Mike Van Hoogstraat.
I now give you Patrick and Mike with the rundown on the Open door tryouts.
Which one of these aspiring wrestlers and personalities will make a mark in the future at MMWA-SICW?(Photo credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
I’ve been fortunate to get fairly close to the local wrestling scene…case in point, being invited by Tim Miller to the MMWA-SICW tryout in East Carondelet this past Thursday. Saw several familiar faces in attendance as well as some Broadway trainees and some out-of-towners.
Some of the familiar faces for MWR fans and new one lined up to speak to Keith Smith, Tim Miller and Jim Harris (Photo credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
The main Broadway representatives were Tim himself, Keith Smith, and referee Jim Harris. They laid out what Broadway has to offer: Exposure in a great wrestling market in front of good audiences, as well as T.V. time(via their local-access program) and a decent payday. Broadway is stepping up their schedule in a major way in September, so the roster will be expanding in the near future…September has the usual shows at South Broadway and East Carondelet as well as their debut in Hillsdale, MO and a return to Fairmont City. The injured A.J. Williams was also in attendance as well as Ace Hawkins.
They had one interviewer/commentator tryout named Ben Simon who did a fine job and will apparently be at their East Carondelet show this weekend.
Blake Steel is one of the best promo men in the sport today, it was no surprise that he was dead on in showing his skills.(Photo credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)

Keith asked why I didn’t try out for that spot…and I didn’t really have a good answer for him. Haven’t gotten behind that particular microphone since the GCW days and wouldn’t mind doing it again sometime!
Those in attendance got a chance to prove themselves behind a microphone and also in the ring. The trainees practiced in the ring with Johnny Courageous while those with more experience under their belt had full-fledged matches with the likes of Courageous, Brandon Espinosa, and Sean Vincent.
Former MMWA-SICW manager The Magic Man is always entertaining and I have him hoping for his return to the promotion for some time now. (Photo credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
The Magic Man was in the house and did a classic promo to kick things off…
Was good to see former GCW competitor Ian Storm in the house as well as Springfield IL’s Blake Steel.

Is Eric Allen the best wrestler in Illinois? That is what he will tell you.(Photo credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)

Could moments like this lead to a big feud at MMWA-SICW in the future? My money is on the fact that Steel will not forget Espinosa actions during the tryout.(Photo credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
Also saw a couple of guys who have flown under the local radar to some extent, Kurt Styles and Rick Stone. One of the more decorated local grapplers was in the house as Eric Allen sought to add another notch to his resume.
A group from Jefferson City arrived later in the tryout…some did better than others.
Espinosa was quick to let one of them know about an early mistake in their practice matchup.
New faces try their hand at the very difficult skill of wrestling.(Photo credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
Critiques followed each matchup in the hopes that each wrestler would learn and work to improve. Vincent had a good short sprint with one of the Jeff City upstarts who went by “Bill Murray”(no relation).
Keith Smith and Herb Simmons have seen it all in their many years in the business, they watch the proceedings with a close eye for future talent. (Photo credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
I’m always open to a learning experience and I feel like I’ve learned more in the past few years of wrestling viewing than at any other time in my nineteen(!) years of following the industry. I have all the respect in the world for anyone who steps in a wrestling ring because I couldn’t do what they do. I don’t think lack of in-ring experience disqualifies a person completely from having an opinion about wrestling…though I suppose I would respect the opinion of a wrestler over a non-wrestler.
Look for recaps from both of the shows that MMWA-SICW had in August in the near future at MWR.

Brandon Aarons is one of the hottest young stars in the Midwest today
Since defeating Gary J in the semi finals then outlasting Billy McNeil, Adam Rich, & Eric Allen to claim the IHW first ever St Lois Wrestling Invitational cup on June 14th
2010 has been a banner year for the young star since he parted ways in the very talented tag team B.A.B.EWatch with partner Brandon Espinosa. Big wins against would follow him and on February 6th Brandon Aarons defeated Mephisto, Sean Vincent, Billy McNeil, Eric Allen, & Steven Kennedy to become the NEW IHW champion
Aarons has been on a red hot streak since then racking up wins against the likes of Steven Kennedy and Eric Allen plus the big win against the Pro Wrestling Epic US Champion and 2009 MWR Wrestler of the Year Mark Sterling in Mt Pulaski Illinois.
He would become a MWR Triple Crown winner by upsetting Kansas City Killer and 2009 PWI Rookie of the Year Mike Sydal to become the High Voltage Wrestling Livewire Champion at NWA Dynamo Wrestling.
Just last month Brandon Aarons step up to the plate to take on the Ring of Honor World Champion Tyler Black at PWE in an impressive showing before “The Apex” Blake Steel attacked him (Aarons) thus giving the PWE US Champion a bittersweet victory over the World Champion.
The best is yet to come for this rising Midwest star. It is with great pleasure that we announce that the MWR Trading card number 15 is “Irresistible” Brandon Aarons.

We are back with another edition of Dubi Meets the fans, last time we were in Des Moines Iowa for 3XW and for this one we had to travel through Missouri to Illinois to make our way to Dupo for Independent Hardcore Wrestling.
IHW has been red hot in 2010 with some large crowds that have been very energetic, in fact the size of the crowd have got so large that they are going to need to find a new building to hold all the fans. This night would be no different as IHW was filled with a great mix of talent including a non-title rematch between IHW Champion Brandon Aarons taking on the self proclaim greatest wrestler ever from Illinois, the current IHW Illinois Champion Eric Allen, the ultra talented Bailey Mannix met Tony Kozina while Mr. Late Nite caused chaos and Evan Money, Steven Kennedy, Billy McNeil and Sean Vincent went toe to toe to become the 2ND Annual IHW ST Louis Invitational Tournament Champion that Aarons had won last year. This year the hated Sean Vincent would take home the bragging rights.
Everywhere we go Brian and I have a ton of friends and with so many promotions in St Louis it is only magnified which makes going to the shows a ton of fun. Brian had spoken to our friends Jonathan Jones and his wife Lena on the way to the show to find out if they were going to make it to the show but one of their children was in the Hospital so he was unsure of what time they could make it.
Prior to the show started I ran into the people from Iconsofwrestling who have the wonderful Gods of Wrestling painting with so many old and new stars filling this must see painting. This was the first time that I had seen this and I have to say it was a sight to see. I went in to get Brian to let him know that the artist Icon, Ed Schultz and Dotty Mattis were there. While we sat outside talking fans where coming by to check out this masterpiece. Brian mentioned to them that they should contact both Metro Pro and Larry Barber about showing off the poster in Kansas. He also stated that this summer’s big Wrestling Hall of Fame ceremonies in Iowa was about to happen and would be a golden opportunity to share the art with many people that love Wrestling. They are really hard at work promoting this one of a kind piece and was on their way to do double duty that night as they were off to meet our good friend Herb Simmons at MMWA-SICW. If you would like to check out the Gods of Thunder click here.
Before I knew it the doors had open and the crowd filled the building waiting for some great wrestling action. Brian was busy proudly showing off the new MWR Trading card that Mephisto had done which went over well with everyone. The next day he was to announce that Tyler Black would be the 10th card but was keeping it a secret till he posted it on the site. I know if Brian won the lottery he would just make a card for everyone but though expense of making one is reasonable making several can become expensive , so for the time being he is unable to make as many as he would like. If you would are a wrestler, Manager/Valet or referee and would like to have an awesome collectable for you to sell or have I highly recommend that you contact Brian on the details. Already in the set are Santana G, Mark Sterling, MsChifKahagas, and Mike Sydal. Likewise if you are a business or wrestling school and would like to sponsor a wrestler with your business logo on the card feel free to ask how. Personally I don’t think that it will be complete until there is a Derek Stone and Dubi card.
It seems as if everyone was excited to be a part of Dubi meets the fans so it is getting easier to find people to want to be a part of it. This night wrestling Superfan Erica Jones was joined with her sister Michelle brought birthday boy Joshua Jackson who had just turned 7th and little man Ellies. A great way to celebrate your birthday is at a wrestling show. They were all big fans of Mephisto who happily took the time to take a picture.

Young Braden Pulcher was at IHW for the first time so I let him watch the matches to decide which IHW Star he would take his picture with. Not surprisingly he chose the charismatic “The Kid” Evan Money to have his picture with. Money was successful in the first round Jordan McEntyre in an exciting match and during the intermission posed with his new fan.

Next up was one of the most hardcore wrestling fans in the area Andrew Adams otherwise known as the “Firefighter”. Andrew choose Brandon Aarons at first but when he saw that I took Mickie Knuckles as my picture he changed his mind and we were more than happy to have give him his wish with the hardcore beauty.

Dupo is Mephisto territory and he would be picked once again. This time Kolby Stephens wanted his picture taken with him as well. Mephisto fans would were happy to see him team up with Justin Wade to defeat MR Late Nites men Brandon Graves and Cable. The loss would lead to MR Late Nite firing Cabal while Graves and The Perfect Weapon Morbid attacking their former partner.

The Wrestler of the night who would throw a MWR Shirt to one lucky fan turned out to be young Adam Rich. Rich was returning to the ring after a short absence and would have his hands full with the hated Canadian in the first round of the STL Tournament. Young Dennis Corderant would be the lucky fan that caught the MWR Shirt. Later in the night Rich took the time to have his picture taken with the young fan.
As I mentioned before I always try to choose a picture with a star as well though sometimes I get so busy I do not get it done. I have always been impressed with Mickie Knuckles and she happily posed with me prior to her match with Mia Martinez. Mickie is one tough girl.

As far as Jonathan, him and Lena would not make it till the main event match with Brandon Aarrons and Eric Allen match. They were so impressed that they purchased tickets for IHW’S return to Dupo on July 24th.
MWR Fans thank you for taking the time to read this article. In the near future look for Dubi meets the Fans at Pro Wrestling Epic from Mt Pulaski Illinois and if all goes as planned we will make our long waited debut at New Midwest Wrestling in Springfield Illinois for their show Boiling Point. Keep an eye out for my special interview with Blake Steel as he goes after the NMW Title currently held by Jonathan Magnus.
Till next time fans, support your local wrestling. I hope to see you at a show real soon.
A trip to AAPW is always guaranteed to be a good time. Add on a match of the Year canadite in the AAPW Champion the Mississippi Madman and taking on “The Belt Collector” Jeremy Wyatt you knew I could not miss it.
A great day of hanging with my girlfriend Dubray, who did “Dubi Meets the AAPW Fans” (if you missed it then click here,MWR Photographer extrordinar Mike Van Hoogstraat and my good friend Jonathan Jones. Later in the night we caught up with Adam Testa to watch some exciting wrestling action.
On the night we saw a feud heat up when Badboy Chris Thomas and his manager Brooklyn Bobby left former AAPW Champion Edmund “Livewire” McGuire laying that would lead to a falls Count anywhere match in Herrin Illinois on April 10th.
In the main event we saw two warriors go at it as Wyatt came within moments of becoming the AAPW Champion for the first time. The fans were still furious at Wyatt’s actions and wanted more. AAPW as always gives the fans what they want and in the Main event in Herrin Illinois it will be The MississippiMadman vs. Jeremy Wyatt 2.
Also on the card will be former WWE/ECW Superstar Simon Dean/ Nova going one on one with recently released WWE’s Paul Burchill.
This and much more will be why you will not want to miss AAPW on April 10th.
Till then sit back and enjoy the AAPW Photo recap by Mike Van Hoogstraat.

Look for an exclusive interview with Sean Vincent in the near future at Missouri Wrestling Revival as we try to get to the bottom of his viscous attack on Billy McNeil.
On March 6th Independent Hardcore Wrestling Champion Brandon Aarons title is deep trouble when he goes one on one against “Spoiled” Steven Kennedy. On February 6th Aarons outlasted Billy McNeil, Mephisto, Eric Allen, Sean Vincent and Kennedy in a brutal six way elimination match for his first ever singles championship.
All six men looked amazing, with all of them coming close to gaining the title for themselves but one man who was on fire was Steven Kennedy. Throughout the match Kennedy paced himself perfectly and struck when the time was right. Aarons would show the heart of a champion by weathering the storm of Kennedy to go home with the gold.
Brandon Aarons vs. Steven Kennedy has been set to go. Will Aarons be able to survive the assault of Kennedy a second time or will March 6th be the start of the Spoiled era began?
All American Pro Wrestling continues their tradition of providing some of the top matches in the Midwest. On February 27th in West Frankfort Illinois the brand new AAPW Champion Mississippi Madman will go against the “The Belt Collector” Jeremy Wyatt.
The Madman is one of the most popular wrestlers in the MWR Coverage area while no one has been more hated that Wyatt. This match could have ramifications throughout AAPW for the rest of 2010.
