MWE Robbinsdale, MN 3/3/2012

Midwest Wrestling Entertainment held their annual fund raiser event for a church youth group this past Saturday night. This year the event was held at the Elim Lutheran church in Robbinsdale, MN.
In the opening match Cpl. Julio Julio defeated Rob Ivy.

Arya Daivari & Renny D came out to cut a promo on the Junk Squad, Chris Jordan & Pete Huge. This promo set up the main event for the night as The Junk Squad were set to defend their tag team titles against The Young Guys. I’m not sure if that was the name that Daivari & D gave themselves but it sounds good.
Chris Dorrian pinned Benjamin Sailer in the the second match of the night.
Horace the Psychopath defeated Shimdog. This was Shimdogs last match as his doctor told him that he should never wrestle again because his spine is in horrible shape. Thankfully that means that this is the last time that Shimdogs tights will be seen in a wrestling ring. Here is a photo of Shimdog from June 2003. This was one of the first times that I photographed a Shimdog match. It took place at the old MPW arena. At the time Shimdog was the MPW cruiser weight champion. He defeated Kaos (Cody O’Neill) to retain the title.
The Black Stallion pinned El Bano.
The Junk Squad defeated The Young Guys when Chris Jordan pinned Renny D after some kind of swinging neck breaker type thing.

Unnamed Promotion St. Paul, MN 9/18/2010

This was the second event held at the Rumors/ Innuendos night club in down town St. Paul, MN. I have not heard of any name for this promotion as it really just started out as a fund raiser event for an AIDS walk. This event, which I was able to make it to after the AWF show earlier in the night, was called "Wrestle Mania". I heard from the promoter that there will be more wrestling at this venue.
In the opening match Ryan Stone pinned Dirty Ernie with a roll up out of now where.

"The Law" Mark Barker won a triple threat elimination match against Contrast and Patrick McDaniel. Contrast was the first to be eliminated.

Tommy "Spiderbaby" Saturday defeated Gene Gadaski by pin fall. Gadaski's blue jeans split open in the crotch during this match.

Patriot III defeated JB Trask in a 2 out of 3 falls match up. Patriot III won the first fall and JB took the second fall. Patriot III got the final fall when he had help from on of Trask's valets who was a plant for Patriot III.

In a rematch from last time at Rumors Rob Ivy defeated Mike Hawk.

PWA South St. Paul, MN 6/26/2010

For the second Saturday in a row Pro Wrestling America had one of their annual shows. This week it was at Kaposia Days in South St. Paul, MN in the VFW parking lot. Once again it was a beautiful day for outdoor wrestling.
In the opening match Contrast defeated Udo in the battle of the masked men.

Horace the Psychopath defeated The Brauler in the second match.

Tommy "Spiderbaby" Saturday defeated rookie Denis "The Menace" Michael.

Mystik pinned Heather Zumhofe.

Billy Blaze pinned Buck "Rock N Roll" Zumhofe with some help from Lenny Lane. After the match Zumhofe challenged Lane to a weasel suit match at an up coming show. Zumhofe first had his weasel suit match against Bobby "The Brain/Weasel" Heenan probably over 20 years ago.

JB Trask & Rob Ivy w/ Kimberly & April Allure defeated Shimdog & Lenny Lane when Ivy pinned Shimdog.

PWA champion Mitch Paradise w/ The Professor retained his belt when he beat Arya Daivari. This was a switch from last weeks card as Paradise was the bad guy and Daivari was the good guy. I think this was the first time I've ever seen Daivari getting cheers from the fans.

MIW Mounds View, MN 3/20/2010

Minnesota Independent Wrestling was at Robert's Sports bar this past Saturday night with 6 big matches.

MWE New Hope, MN 2/13/2010

Midwest Wrestling Entertainment held it's second annual fund raiser card at the Holy Nativity church in New Hope, MN. There was an interesting twist to this card as some of the wrestlers were picked to referee the matches. This was the first time I've ever been to a pro wrestling event in a church.
In the opening contest "Everyone's Favorite" Nate Bash pinned Weston Monroe. Chris Jordan, the promoter of MWE, was the special referee for this match. After the match was over The Black Stallion came out and attacked Jordan.

El Bano defeated "The Law" Mark Barker with Cpl. Julio Julio as special referee.

Gunner Clash defeated Super Lover in the next match. Pete Huge was suppose to be the special referee. Huge complained that he should not have to ref. He then gave both Clash and Lover the "Pete spot" and left the ring. This was my first time seeing Super Lover in action.

Cpl. Julio Julio defeated "6% Body fat" Rob James by submission. Barker was the special ref and he pushed James which lead to Julio's submission.

Shimdog pinned Horace the psychopath with Weston Monroe as the special ref. I don't know if this was suppose to be a hard core match but it turned into a garbage match when Horace tossed a full trash can at Shimdog in the ring. Shimdog got the pin with a fast 3 count from Monroe.

Brody Hoofer defeated Pete Huge in a championship match.

"The Genuine Article" Chris Jordan got the win over The Black Stallion in the main event of the night. Shimdog was the special ref but he was chaised back to the locker room by "Everyone's Favorite" Nate Bash. The ref that replaced Shimdog was powerbombed by Stallion but Pastor Jason came to the ring to make the 3 count on Stallion after a Jordan top rope elbow drop.
