Less than a week ago we made our way to Kansas City for the first time all year for Pro Wrestling and we were on hand for Metro Pro Wrestling’s second ever show. The first show was taped and has been aired in the KC market for Metro Sports.
With the talent on the card I knew we were on hand for some great wrestling and I was excited about first ever tournament to crown the Metro Pro Wrestling TV Champion. On a personal level I was proud to see my good friend Josh Ray have the opportunity to work as the ring announcer for the evening.

Out of respect for the wishes of Metro Pro I will not be giving the results from the show so that we will not spoil the outcome for the fans that will be viewing the show when it airs on Metro Sports.
I will be giving you a small look at the sights of this exciting evening. So please enjoy and remember Metro Pro Wrestling Returns on October 2nd. Dont Miss it.

MWR fans it has just been announced that World League Wrestling will be teaming up with the Chautaugua County Scouts to bring to Sedan Kansas a night of wrestling for all ages.
WLW has on tap a triple main event!
In the main event it will be a rematch between two of the best in the sport today. The WLW Champion Trevor Murdock defending his title against Trent Stone. Will fan witness history in Sedan Kansas as Stone become a 2-time champion?
Many experts feel that the top tag team in 2010 makes their home at WLW and are currently the WLW Tag Team Champions. “Superstar” Steve Fender and Mark Sterling bring to the ring the total package of wrestling skills, experience along with a devastating attack that has left challengers down and out when they are through with them.
Brian Breaker and the Cancun Kid will look to utilize their youth, speed and power to overcome the wily veterans. Breaker a former WLW Champion is very capable of taking over a match with his brute strength, while the Cancun Kid has been impressive since his debut at WLW.
In a night of rematches can the former WLW Ladies champion Lucy Mendez take back the title from the women who defeated her for the title, Amy Hennig? Hennig has been on a tear and has been building momentum all year long.
The Amy Hennig that Lucy lost the title is not the Amy that is the current WLW Ladies Champion. She has improved her skills and has more confidence which makes her all that more dangerous.
Be the first to check out the WLW debut the newest graduate of the Harley Race Wrestling Academy, Jeff Lagee.
Also in action will be Ryan Drago, Ethan Wright, and Jack Gamble.
The special guest will be the former 8-time NWA World Champion Harley Race.
Join WLW for a night the way wrestling was meant to be at the SHS Jr. High School, and the show starts at 7 PM.

“Superstar” Steve Fender (Photo Credit Mike Van Hoogstraat)
One of the best kept secrets in the Midwest is “Superstar” Steve Fender. Fender is currently one half of the arguably one of the best tag teams in the game today with Mark Sterling. Fender and Sterling are currently the WLW Tag Team Champions.
Fender has wrestled around the world including World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Pro Wrestling Noah.
Fun fact: Fender became the first American to train at the Pro Wrestling Noah Dojo and has the drive and talent to take on stars Takao Omori , Samoa Joe and Trevor Murdoch.
Fierce and methodical Fender wears down the toughest of opponents until they begin to doubt themselves, then its all over.
When MWR’s Josh Ray returned from Iraq, Fender and Steve Anthony was chosen as a Welcome home match at High Voltage Wrestling. The match was so good that we added it in the first MWR Best of the Midwest DVD.
We are proud to announce that the MWR Trading Card #17 is none other than a true Superstar in Steve Fender.

Missouri Wrestling Revival returned to World League Wrestling on July 17th in Park Hills Missouri. In this edition of Dubi meets the fans, Dubray Tallman was unable to take part due to being under the weather.
I was not alone as I was joined by MWR photographer’s Bill Smith, Mike Van Hoogstraat and his good friend Larry Endicott Sr.
To say that MWR felt as this double main event between WLW Champion Trevor Murdoch and Trent Stone in a leather strap match plus WLW Women’s Champion Amy Hennig meeting Santana G was a big deal would be an understatement.
You never know how hard it is to do a job till you have to fill those shoes, that would not be more evident that what it was on this night.
First up was young Austin Coleman from Farmington who chose the young exciting Cancun Kid.
Austin Coleman and The Cancun Kid
His sister Jersey was all decked out ready for the matches and quickly became a fan of Santana G.
Santana G with Jersey Colman
Mike and Braden Chapman sat in the Golden Circle and were more than happy to have their picture taken with former WWE Tag team Champion and current WLW Champion Trevor Murdoch.
Mike and Braden Champan with WLW Champion Trevor Murdoch.
Also checking out WLW in the golden circle were Jason and Jonah from Lappe and they wisely chose Trevor Murdoch as their favorite wrestler.

Cody Drennen from Potosi had chosen Santana G as his WLW favorite and I had to laugh after I took the picture Santana G innocently asked “Did you get my new boots in the picture?” How can you not love the talented Santana G?
Santana G and Cody Drennen
Two kids were very excited about WLW wrestling were Alan and Zach who I spotted throughout the night getting autographs and conversation from stars like Chris Hargas and Trevor Murdoch.
Alan and Zach with Trevor Murdoch
I was introduced from Larry his friend Charlie Wilkerson from Farmington, Illinois and his son who was having a great time with the action on this evening. Charlie and
While I was getting to know Charlie he told me that he worked at Off-Sets and Zip and Dip which just so happens to be Southeast Missouri’s best place for zip lines, swimming, camping, and even doing archery with equipment from Archerypro or just hanging out with friends or family.
Charlie Wilkerson and his son with Harley Race
I have not told Dubray about this yet because though I plan on taking her when we can fit it in the schedule of our wrestling coverage, she will not let it rest till we go hehehehe. For real I am excited about checking out the place. Charlie was kind enough to support MWR and both asked to get MWR shirts for themselves. For their wrestler they were happy to have the one and only Harley Race. A wise choice if I may say so.
Bianca Hernandez was up next and took the chance to have her picture taken with the WLW Champion Trevor Murdoch.
Trevor Murdoch and Bianca Hernandez
Up next was a great wrestling fan that we at MWR are grateful to have the support of it Kyle Valle. Kyle amazingly found a MWR Shirt at a second hand store. So my question is which MWR Fan gave up your shirt? Just playin, in our 3rd year we have given away and sold close to 200 MWR shirts and I would have to believe that the shirt could not have been found by a better fan. Kyle had a lot of interest to get his photo taken with one of the Midwest most dominate WLW Champs Tag Team and the MWR of 2009 Steve Fender and Mark Sterling.
Kyle Valle with the WLW Tag Champs "Superstar" Steve Fender and Mark Sterling
I have to apologize to Melissa Thurman, Melissa and her husband were two of the first people that I spoke to. They were very nice and I enjoyed getting to know them both. Jimmy was the wrestling fan but she was looking to have a good time. She quickly stated that she wanted her picture taken with Amy Hennig (Wise choice I may add) and just my luck I happen to have lost that photo. Her husband chose the man of the night Trevor Murdoch. Melissa I would like to make it up to you personally so if you would contact me at flairwhoooooo@yahoo.com and we will see if I can make amends.
Trevor Murdoch and Jimmy Thurman
A great night of wrestling that lived up to the hype in Park Hills Missouri with some of the top stars in the game today. Look in the near future from a Photo Recap from Mike Van Hoogstraat and more information of the WLW/NOAH camp coming to Eldon Missouri in October.
Join us in Woodriver Illinois this Saturday for more exciting wrestling action when we return to out friends at MECW. Plus have the chance to catch a MWR T-shirt from a MECW Superstar.

I just purchased the brand new book by Dennis T McHawes called Blood, Tables and Chairs and must admit that I could not put the book down. McHawes wrestled as one of the favorite Indy stars of the Midwest in the 90’s going by the name of the DRILL INSTRUCTOR.
I had the chance to see him wrestle several times in Boonville, Missouri with his tag team partner Johnny Jett for a promotion that I cannot recall and recall him becoming an important member of Harley Race’s World League Wrestling.
The books first words are ….. “ST Louis – The Checkerdome – 1982” and young Dennis is attending his very first wrestling match. He is excited and makes no qualms about it. McHawes does not deny that he was a fan of wrestling and because of that you find yourself cheering him on. The Drill Instructor would debut at the historic South Broadway Athletic club and Dennis goes into detail about how he went about getting his foot in the door.
Throughout the book, MWR readers will recognize some of the names that he worked with. The Magic Man, Trevor Murdoch, Rick Ruby, Matt Murphy, Pete Madden, Derek Stone and Steve Fender are all included as McHawes lets us in on his ups and downs in his career. Readers will also learn that during his time with Harley Race, McHawes had the opportunity of working and partying with wrestling stars like Meng, Abdullah and even the great Harley Race himself.
He continues to share stories of Koko B Ware and former NHL Star Tony Twist, gives a true insight of how it felt to share a dream with tag team partner and friend Johnny Jett, only to have life move them in opposite directions. You’ll learn about his opinion concerning certain promoters and what kind of advice not to take from the Iron Sheik.
His trips to working for WWE marked the highlights of this book for me. He lets his guard down for the readers, who are therefore able to truly feel how much he and other wrestlers wanted to impress.
You will also not want to miss his reflection on his relationship with Race. Most of us never get to work so closely and become friends with one of the greats. In all walks of life, you have friendships that have highs and lows. In the end you can really get a feel for how thankful McHawes is towards the people who helped him.
For only $12.00, I highly recommend that you purchase this book You can purchase it at Amazon.com
