The Midwest is having a banner year in 2010. Davenport Iowa’s Tyler Black proudly wears the Ring of Honor World title and could very well be the best wrestler in the World today, TNA and WWE have both held PPV’S in St Louis to start the year.
Pro Wrestling Phoenix and 3XWrestling have each celebrated their 5 year anniversary and Metro Pro Wrestling this very weekend has brought Wrestling back to the limelight in Kansas City.
Oh yes, what a great year 2010 has been and it started out perfectly when Pro Wrestling Illustrated and their readers voted Midwest very own Mike Sydal as THE 2009 PWI Rookie of the Year.
Not a day goes by that people don’t ask me where is Mike Sydal. In 2009 he wrestled in almost every MWR Promotion but the former High Voltage Wrestling Livewire Champion and one half of the 3XW Tag team Champions with Zach Thompson has been plying his trade outside the coverage area.
Thanks to our good friend Scott Finkelstein I give you a recap of one of my favorites wrestlers and yours Mike Sydal from March 14th this year at Pro Wrestling Respect. Coming soon will be photos of his match with the one and only Christopher Daniels.

Shane Hagadorn and Orange Cassidy defeated Alex Payne and Mike Sydal when Hagadorn pinned Sydal after a Kidney Punch (possibly with an illegal object).
