3XWrestling Holds First Pro Wrestling Event in Grinnell- Grinnell native Maddog McDowell wrestles in his hometown for the first time!

DES MOINES, Iowa – 3XWrestling (3XW), a Des Moines-based leader in Midwest professional wrestling, is proud to announce it will be captivating fans in Grinnell, Iowa for the first time.

3XWrestling’s 2012 live event tour visits the Eagles Club in Grinnell on Saturday, February 25 with an action-packed card featuring many of the top wrestlers in the central United States.

For Mark “Maddog” McDowell – an awe-inspiring powerhouse weighing in at 300 lbs. – it’s a chance for his career to come full circle. A Grinnell native, the event on Feb 25th will be the first time he’s wrestled in his hometown during his career.

McDowell, an Army veteran and former member of the Grinnell Griffins Rugby Club, is one-half of the sensational “American Bulldogs” tag team with partner “The American Fury” Jon West. The “Bulldogs” are not only mainstays in 3XWrestling, but are a successful tag team throughout the Midwest. Their matches for Metro Pro Wrestling in Kansas City are regularly seen on television throughout Kansas and Missouri.

The main event of the evening features 3XW Heavyweight champion “The Fittest Wrestler in the World” Mark Sterling battling 2009 Pro Wrestling Illustrated “Rookie of the Year” Mike Sydal (brother of WWE star Evan Bourne). If Sterling can retain his championship the night before – at 3XW’s Reign of Terror III event featuring Perry Saturn in Des Moines – then the Heavyweight championship will be defended in Grinnell.

The rest of the Grinnell card features the all-stars of Midwest pro wrestling!

Doors open for 3XW’s Grinnell event at 7 p.m. (6:45 p.m. for advance ticket holders) for a 7:30 p.m. start time. The Eagles Club is located at 616 4th Ave. in beautiful Grinnell.

Missouri Wrestling Revival celebrates our 2,000th post.

By Brian Kelley

If I leave here tomorrow

Would you still remember me?

————–Lynyrd Skynyrd

In just a little over four years, Missouri Wrestling Revival has been your source for pro wrestling around the Midwest. Today we celebrate our 2,000 post where we have brought you the fans FREE info, NO POP UPS on the site as we feature the hottest young wrestlers of today and honoring the men and women of yesterday.

Thank you goes out to many people, so many in fact that there is no way that I could name them all here in this post. At the start we had our friends Josh Ray and Kari Williams providing great material for the start and though they have left the MWR family. Their hard work with the foundation is what got MWR started off right.

We appreciate each and every fan that have visited the site, much love goes out to the promoters for their hospitality, thank you to the wrestlers for the respect they have given us along with a wide variety of promos, some have been awful, some have been a lot of fun and their have been those that have been great.

If you own a business and are currently looking for a fun way to advertise your product at a fellow local business, then I highly recommend you to contact your local wrestling promotion to find out fun ways to get the word out about your business. This photo is at 3XW in Des Moines, Iowa features Aspen Athletic Clubs as they proudly sets up a table to reach the 200 plus fans in attendance, 3XWrestling stars Sparrow and Sir Bradley Charles pose with an Aspen representative Luke Dickens . Just a few other sponsors around the Midwest is Monster energy drinks at MECW, Mueller Furniture store at SICW , Rocky Comfort Builders for AAPW are supporters of pro wrestling while getting their name out to the masses.

Thank you goes out to all of the photographers who have been very generous in providing photos for the promotions and wrestlers in our area so that the fans can not only know the names of the stars but what they look like. I truly love photos and the photographers give the Midwest wrestlers the first class feel that they deserve.

Wrestling fans have a great opportunity to meet the stars up close and personal at your local wrestling show. Here at Pro Wrestling Phoenix, this young child got a photo with former PWP Champion Tony Cortez. When this child grows up she will be able to show her children a photo of her as a baby with Cortez who once challenged for the NWA World Championship.

We have also been blessed with some great artist and graphic artist whom have shared their talent to our site. Amazing art that has been featured on the site from some of the top talents in that genre  on the MWR Year in Awards as well as the MWR Trading Card series.

AAPW announcer Kevin Hunsperger needed the support of the 405 AAPW faithful at the show during his huge match against Mike Masters during January’s AAPW Main Event, and the fans came through for him.

We have been blessed to have articles written by a former Amazon Best seller author Matt Murphy including a must read from Matt  for all aspiring wrestlers at the top link of the site, words of wisdom from the wrestling star “Golden Boy” Greg Anthony along with the honor of being able to represent the ST Louis Hall of Fame during the TNA fan attraction as we presented Bobby Hennan, Dory Funk Jr and Ric Flair with their Hall of Fame plaques.

Former Metro Pro Wrestling commissioner Matt Murphy has been removed, so in 2012 there is set to be an election for his replacement. Manager Steven J Girthy has put his name on the ballot. From the looks of it, the fans are split at the moment. On March 3rd, we will find out who else will try to win this election.

MWR has allowed us to have many memories and friendships that will last a lifetime with those in the ring as well as many out of the squared circle. Wrestlers, referees, managers, ring announcers are just a few that have hopes of making it to the top of our sport. We hope that you feel as if MWR has been supportive of your dream.

3XWrestling announcer Daryl Moon a comedian by trade has grown a following.

The truth is for many of us, we will never make a living with the sport we love. Still, I have to feel as if every moment on the road, taking photos, editing them and writing up many of the post from MWR has been worth every minute of it.

In football Tim Tebow and Tebowmania ran wild in 2011, at NEW Midwest Wrestling Tony G the baseball superstar has become a two sport sensation as he captured the NMW Central Illinois title much to the satisfaction to his fans.

On a personal note, my number one goal from owning this site, has been able to be a part of the sport that I love.

At the same time I wanted to be old school in the fact that I was a man of my word, someone who was respected and gave respect to others as well. To the best of my knowledge I have failed at times but for the most part have succeeded in my goal.

Fans young and old LOVE female wrestler MsChif around the country including the ones at NWA Dynamo pro wrestling.

I have tried not to make promises that I cannot keep. If you feel as if I OWE you something that I promised you willingly, feel free to contact me at flairwhoooooo@yahoo.com so that we can discuss it. If you feel as if we have done you wrong, then dont hesitate to let us know. Life is too short to hold grudges and we are all wanting pro wrestling in the Midwest to be the best that it can be.

Magnum Pro Wrestling fans get pumped up in the front row.

Some weeks I have more time to promote shows on the site and around the message boards more than others. Thank you for the friends of the site that has shared our post to your friends, fans and other wrestlers letting them know about MWR.

Richmond, Missouri fans quickly let WLW Champion “The Prince” Jason Jones know that they feel as if he is more of a princess than the heir to the throne.

The truth is there was wrestling before MWR and there will be wrestling long after we are gone, yet I hope that you have enjoyed visiting the site and continue to do so while we are here.

So from myself and MWR Fan relation’s Dubray Tallman we hope to see you at the matches in 2012.
