Venue: Glencoe City Center

Crushed Pro Wrestling held their 4th event at the beautiful Glencoe City Center. This building was built back in 1932 and was originally the Glencoe high school. This was 2 nights in a row that I was at a wrestling event in a venue that was over 80 years old.

Glencoe is about 50 miles to the west of Minneapolis. Too bad it's so far away as it's a really nice venue. There is a large floor area and a balcony which is were I took this photo from. Pretty sure some wrestler is diving off that balcony.

In a pre-show match The Tomahawk Kid pinned James Tapia.

Danny Duggan defeated Super Thunder Frog and King Leonidas in a 3 way match. With that win Duggan was granted a spot in a match for the Crushed Pro Wrestling championship at Crushed 5.

The main event was a 2 out of 3 falls match between Jacob Savage and Orin Veidt. Veidt won the first fall.

Jacob Savage won the second fall. Oh look, someone did dive off the balcony. This dive actually took place after Savage won the second fall.

Orin Veidt pinned Jacob Savage after a witch hunter on to a steel chair. After the match it was announced that these two would face each other at Crushed 5 in a last man standing match.

MAW Minneapolis, MN 2/16/18

Promotion: Midwest All-Star Wrestling
Time/Date: 8 p.m. Friday February 16, 2018
City, State: Minneapolis, MN
Venue: Parkway Theater

I believe this was the first time that pro wrestling was seen at this 80 year old theater in south Minneapolis. It has not been used as a regular theater in many years. I've been here to watch some Doctor Who episodes and most recently to watch a screening of 1980's Flash Gordon, which is when I found out about this event. It's been cold in the Parkway each time I've been there and this night was no different. I guess the heater has not worked in a while. This event was the last one in the Parkway until the new owners do a remodel. this was my first time at an MAW event as most of their events have been on Sundays.

The first two matches were pre-show 'young lions' matches. They involved 4 of the recent graduates from The Academy of Professional Wrestling.
Rylie Jackson VS Kyle Pro ended in a 10 minute time limit draw.

Brandon Gore pinned JDX.

Tomahawk Kid pinned Officer Rob Justice.

The Maulers (Joseph "Stonehenge" Wayne & Damien Graves) defeated El Tigre & El Angel Dorado.

"Downtown" Petey Brown defeated "Mr Entertainment" Ty Cooper. After the match they were both attacked by JDX and Rylie Jackson. Brown and Cooper got their revenge after intermission.

Aiden Wake pinned Leonard Literacy after some outside help from Sneaky Pete.

Orin Veidt pinned Air Wolf. Veidt had some help from the Maulers. This was the first of 3 events I would shoot at on this weekend.There was one wrestler who was also at all three of those events and that was Air Wolf.

In the main event Garrison Creed defeated Duke Cornell

Over 60 different wrestlers. 6 of those wrestlers were on 4 of the events I was at. 47 wrestlers were only on one of the 6 promotion events I was at. The majority of the wrestlers were MN based as only 13 were from out of state.
