Dubray wanted Mason Beck to win but the MWR fans felt otherwise.

Females of the MWR Wrestling promotions,  this year we will be having some fun once again as Dubray will be doing the MWR Sexiest Female in the Midwest contest.

In 2011, Dubray had a poll for the fans to vote for the male wrestlers and though Playboy Paul Rose took an early advantage the winner turned out to be Bailey Mannix.

If you are a female in our 15 promotions or in the MWR Trading card set then please send your choice of photo to Dubray at dubray_tallman@yahoo.com if we don’t get your photo by Sunday at noon we will choose one for you.

Bailey Mannix has style, is clean cut, has a rock hard body and delivers a killer suplex. In 2011, the MWR fans named him the Sexiest Wrestler in the Midwest. –Photo Credit Brian Kelley

Let’s have some good hearted fun….This is also a way for you to get your face out their to the fans as well as the promoters.

A trophy will be presented to winner of this “prestigious” :) award during the year.

The contest starts February 6th and ends on Feb 13th .

Thanks for your support.

The former NWA and ECW World Champion “The King of Old School” Steve Corino is always one step ahead of the competition in and out of the ring. When he heard that NWA World Champion Adam Pearce had sent out an open invitation for any wrestler to receive a NWA World title shot in Glen Carbon, Illinois on April the 6th at the Sports Academy for NWA Dynamo Wrestling he knew the importance of the matter.

Knowing that a man that he respected, Kahagas has been very vocal and persistent in having an opportunity to challenge for the World title, he rushed to let “The Tokyo Monster” know that he had Peace’s signature on the dotted line, all Kahagas had to do was sign.

Let’s see this historic moment in NWA Wrestling.

There you have it MWR fans the NWA title returns to the Midwest as the man who ran Godzilla out of Tokyo , Kahagas will meet the top wrestler in the world the 4-time NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Adam Pearce.

Don’t miss it!

Just a friendly reminder to all the fans in the Midwest, that the exciting Ace Hawkins has won the PWI Rookie of the Year for 2011. You can pick up a copy of the new magazine with CM Punk on the cover at all fine newsstands.

Once again congratulations to Hawkins, who has traveled around the Midwest during his first year soaking in all the information that his protégé Brandon Espinosa has given him.

It has always been a pleasure to be ringside taking photos of Hawkins and with him turning just 21, the best is yet to come.

Last but not least MWR fans thank so much for sending in votes of support for one of many men in the Midwest that work hard to entertain you that deserves such an honor as being immortalized in the PWI Magazine.

Adam Pearce is a 4-Time and current National Wrestling Alliance Worlds Heavyweight Champion.

Missouri Wrestling Revival was on hand once again for an historic weekend in the wrestling as the NWA Worlds Heavyweight champion Adam Pearce defended his title.

First it was in Des Moines, Iowa for 3XWrestling as Pearce looked to have lost the prestigious title to “The Belt Collector” Jeremy Wyatt. For more details on the very controversial match click here to see how “Scrap Iron” Adam Pearce was able to leave Des Moines with his belt still around his waist.

The next night we traveled to Council Bluffs , Iowa to Magnum Pro Wrestling as hometown favorite “Babyface” Tony Cortez wrestled quite possibly the match of his life as his fans cheered him on. We will have a full recap of the match along with photos of the two warriors in action later this week at MWR.

Till then I do have to let you know that Pearce was able to retain the NWA World title, but his trips to the Midwest have been nothing short of near disasters each time. Prior to this weekend he had been to battle not once but twice with the former NWA Central States Champion and Metro Pro Champion Michael Strider. On each occasion, Strider left a lasting impression on the Worlds Champion with a war that the fans in Kansas City is still talking about today.

Not since Ric Flair has there been such an active NWA Worlds Champion and Adam Pearce is not backing down from no one. We received this video with a major announcement from the NWA Worlds Champion.

There you have it wrestling fans, the NWA Worlds Championship will be defended in Glen Carbon Illinois, on April 6th at NWA Dynamo Pro Wrestling, the same area that champions like Lou Thesz, Harley Race, Ric Flair, Dory Funk Jr., Gene” Kiniski and Pat O’Conner defended the title.

Pearce is now in his fourth title reign, and is better than ever. His experience, confidence and talent level is spectacular. We have heard reports that the contract has been signed, and as soon as we can verify the rumors we will let you know just exactly will have that golden opportunity to go down in the history books as a National Wrestling Alliance Worlds Heavyweight Champion.

Mark your calendars, fans in the St Louis area, the NWA Title returns on April 6th, 2012.

Don’t miss it.

Make no doubt about that the NWA World Champion Adam Pearce is the most influential NWA World champion since the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair. Missouri Wrestling Revival was on hand in Des Moines, Iowa as he defended his title against the NWA Central States Champion Jeremy Wyatt.

In a packed house, with many of the top sports photographers in the Midwest as well as Pro Wrestling Illustrated own Wayne McCarty shooting photos, you had to be there. The reason being that many felt it could be an historic night for Jeremy Wyatt as he would add the “ten pounds of Gold” to his collection.

The two warriors battled in and out of the ring at a vicious pace. Pearce would show his power early on as he looked to easily avoid Wyatt’s feared crossface finisher.

Wyatt though is a master tactician who systematically took Pearce off his game, hitting him high with flying body crosses and continued to try to lock in the crossface.

The rabid fans were on their feet screaming and pleading for Wyatt to capture the title. One moment would change the match, as 3XW head referee Jeromy Robb was in the corner out of the way, only to find himself in knocked out moments later as Pearce and Wyatt went full force in his direction thus knocking Robb out.

Moments later Wyatt locked in the cross face once again and Pearce tapped but with no ref to make the call it was all for naught.. Then it happened, Wyatt’s arch rival and 3XWrestling Champion Mark Sterling came out to interfere in the match. Wyatt, would derail Sterling’s attempt with a stiff blow and went back on the attack on the World Champion.

Problem was that Sterling had given the champion the time to get back on the offense, and Pearce had Wyatt where he wanted him. Sterling, though could not help himself and attempted to nail his vicious spear on Wyatt only to have Wyatt move at the last moment. You could see Pearce’s eyes roll back in his head as he had been annihilated with one of the most brutal spears ever from the “Iron Man” Mark Sterling.

Wyatt would take out Sterling and threw him out of the ring, and seconds later 3XW second referee Steve Biley entered the ring as Wyatt went for the cover for the win.

1-2-3

BOOM, The roof at ALL-Play exploded as the fans came to their feet. To be honest the last time I felt that feeling was when I was in St Louis for the Cardinals playoff game against the Philadelphia Phillies at Busch stadium. The place rocked as cards reliever Jason Motte had Phillies third baseman Placido Polanco with 2 strikes in the 9th inning. Then with one more pitch  Motte ended the game as Polanco flied out to center for the final out of game 4 and allowing the Cards to make it to game 5 of the first round of the NL Playoffs.

I could barely hear myself think, at ringside as fans were elated with happiness. 3XW announcer Daryl Moon shouted loudly on the mic that drinks for everyone was on the house from the NEW NWA World Champion Jeremy Wyatt. A promise that Wyatt had made prior to the match via the media and facebook.  As Wyatt held onto the NWA World Championship title, he knew he would be out over 250 plus drinks but would be celebrating with the prestigious ten pounds of gold around his waist.

So it would seem.

As head ref Jeremy Robb came to he told the referee that made the three count that, the match was indeed reversed decision as Robb would state that the he saw Wyatt Sterling hitting Pearce with the spear thus disqualifying Wyatt.

Pearce was knocked out as Sterling celebrated outside of the ring with a smile ear to ear. Rightfuly so  Wyatt was furious dove head first onto Sterling, and the two brawled through the crowd as Wyatt looked to get revenge. The deciding factor would be the  NWA World Champion Adam Pearce who sneaked attacked Wyatt from the back.

There was nothing that Wyatt or the furious 3XW faithful could do as two of the best wrestlers in the world continued a brutal beat down on the NWA Central States Champion.

In one of the most disgusting acts I have ever seen Sterling locked in his Markshooter while Adam Pearce taunted Wyatt with the belt claiming that he would never be able to be the Worlds Champion.

At the end of the night Wyatt proved that he was more than capable of being the best in the world, and as the NWA World Champion Adam Pearce lays his head down tonight he will know he got away with one in Des Moines Iowa at 3XW.

Yet, the champ is not home free yet in the Midwest as the NWA World Champion continues his impressive world tour as he travels to Council Bluffs, Iowa tomorrow night for Magnum Pro Wrestling. His opponent is non other than “Baby face “ Tony Cortez, a man who is just as capable to become the NWA Worlds Champion.

MWR will be there, to cover the NWA World Champion Adam Pearce once again as he enters a hostial environment where Cortez is a local legend.

We hope you join us for Magnum Pro Wrestling’s one year anniversary for a night of action that you will not want to forget!!
