MIW Mounds View, MN 8/22/2009

A couple of Saturdays ago I left the wrestling art show because there was an Minnesota Independent Wrestling event at Robert's Sports bar in Mounds View, MN. I had missed the last few MIW cards so it was nice to make it to this one. A few of the referee's on this card will soon be making their pro wrestling debuts.
In the opening contest "Playboy" Pete Huge w/Allison Wonderland defeated Super Caboose w/K-Train. Huge was scheduled to take on K-Train but K-Train was injured in a match the week before so Super Caboose took his place.
Tommy "Spiderbaby" Saturday pinned El Bano.

Daryl Hall defeated Mark Barker.

Cpl. Julio Julio defeated "The Rising Star" Shimdog.

The MIW heavy weight champion Brody Hoofer defeated The Black Stallion to retain the belt. It was nice to see Hoofer used an old school move like the airplane spin.

In the main event Chris Jordan & Horace the Psychopath defeated Rob Ivy & Mitch Paradise when Jordan pinned Paradise.

Wrestling Art show opening 8/22/2009

This past Saturday night I went to an art show opening at the Back Alley Gallery in lower town St. Paul, MN.

This was a show put on by a group of artist working on one theme, pro wrestling. David Witt is the artist behind these lucha inspired drawings. I actually knew Witt when he was a young lad buying comic books at the Shinder's I worked at. He gave me one of his first comic books he drew. His art work has come a long way since then.

The man who came up with the theme for this show is Nathan O'Brien. Most of his art in the show was done with the help of a stack of old 'Apter' mags. I met O'Brien at the show and found out that he is a big fan of pro wrestling.

There was an area where you could design your own paper wrestler.

The art of pro wrestling was also on display on two TVs. Below the TV is a piece inspired by "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and his 2x4.

The show was really fun as they served lot's of snacks (chips, cookies and Slim Jim's! Dig IT!) as well as an assortment of canned beer. I wish I could have stayed all night but I had to get to an MIW show up in Mounds View. The wrestling show will still be on display this Wednesday from 6-10 pm. If you are a fan of wrestling go check it out and tell them that I sent you. Check out the link above for more info.

HOW Proctor, MN 8/21.2009

This past Friday night Heavy On Wrestling provided the 'pro wrestling' entertainment at the South St. Louis County Fair in Proctor, MN. Either the county fair people didn't know who HOW booked for this card or they were afraid of the WWE. All the advertisments for this show only said 'pro wrestling'. There was no mention that former WWE superstars Honky Tonk Man, Al Snow, Rikishi and Scotty Too Hotty would be there. And besides those guys there was also former AWA legend Buck "Rock N Roll" Zumhofe and former Mtv star Arik Cannon also on the card.

The International Wrestling Association of Minnesota had an outdoor show at Dohartys Tavern this past Saturday night. This is an annual show that is put on by Doharty's Tavaern.
