Michael Strider announces his last match will be against Adam Pearce on June 2, 2012

NEWS RELEASE FROM MICHAEL STRIDER:

I am officially announcing that on June 2, 2012, at Turner Rec Center in Kansas City, I will have the final professional wrestling match of my career. Yep, it’s finally time to hang ‘em up. I will have the honor of wrestling one of the best guys in the business Mr. Adam Pearce and would like to invite anyone and everyone who has ever seen me wrestle, wrestled with me, been part of my career, or has been part of my life to come out and help me celebrate the end of my life’s work in Pro wrestling. I’m giving everyone plenty of notice so no excuses!- Michael Strider

MWR Thoughts: There is no doubt that Michael Strider is among the top wrestlers in the Midwest in the past 15 years. A former NWA Central States Champion, a former Metro Pro Wrestling Champion and took part in the first ever MWR Match of the Year in 2008 against Jeremy Wyatt in a barb wire match that in a way we felt that Strider had passed the torch to the Rebel. In the match Wyatt would lose a nipple in a true war between the two men.

While presenting the award to both Strider and Wyatt along with Kari Williams at LWA in House Springs, Missouri, Strider relayed to me that if MWR had been around prior to that year he would have a whole wall full of the plaques. Though Strider said it with a smile and was just joking, it is my belief that what he said could have been very true.

Most recently Strider has been a vital component of not only bringing back pro wrestling to Kansas City but delivering pro wrestling the way it was meant to be. His last match will be against a man who he looked to have defeated for the NWA World Championship in 2011 Adam Pearce. One has to wonder what if Strider had become the Champion of the World that night? If so, maybe this announcement may not have been made this year.

Yet, it has been announce from Strider himself and though we hate to hear the news, we will be there to take in one last great match from Strider against the former NWA Worlds Champion Adam Pearce on June 2nd in Kansas City for Metro Pro Wrestling.

Don’t miss this night as we show RESPECT to a man who has given his best to the fans in the Midwest for years, as it is sure to be a great night of action that you wont forget.

Congratulations to new NWA World Champion Colt Cabana.

By Brian Kelley

Just under 24 hours since Adam Pearce survived a tour of the Midwest that saw him barley get out of town with his 10 pounds of Gold against Kahagas and Matt Murphy, a former rival in Colt “Boom Boom” Cabana defeats him in California for the title.

Congratulations from MWR  goes out to the charismatic Cabana who has in the past recently made appearances for Metro Pro Wrestling and All American Pro Wrestling respectfully. We look forward to the new worlds Champion return to the Midwest in the near future.

Though we have not been happy to see Pearce use underhanded tactics to hold onto his NWA Title during his fourth reign, there has been no doubt that the man has brought prestige back to the NWA by defending the title around the world. His title defense’s in KC, STL, Des Moines, Iowa and Council Bluffs was the first time the belt had been defended in these respected cities in many many years.

On Friday night at NWA Dynamo the NWA National Champion Kahagas wasn’t the only one after his title but also international superstar and currently undefeated in the Midwest Ricky Cruz was in the title hunt. Was the pressure of so many challengers from around the world getting into the mind of the 4-time NWA Champ? - Photo Credit Brian Kelley

His battles with Michael Strider, Jeremy Wyatt, Kahagas, Matt Murphy and “Babyface” Tony Cortez were all worth the price of admission alone to each of the shows that he main evented for.

It was an honor to be ringside at Metro Pro Wrestling as the last time that Pearce successfully defended the NWA Worlds title during his fourth reign this past weekend against  “All That” Matt Murphy.

Is the last ride over for Pearce?

We certainly hope that isn’t the case. Pearce is one of the best wrestlers in the world today, he can wrestle and talk with the best of them at any promotion in the World and is certainly capable of reclaiming the title from Cabana once again to start a fifth reign.

With or without the title Adam Pearce is a man who is still among the top wrestlers in the world today.
