Jul. 14th, 2009 @ 11:43 pm This week's results 7/14-7/19
In yet another bizarre decision coming from GAW, Truk Thompson has been stripped of the GAW Heavyweight Title for who knows why. The title was last defended on 6/7 in Lincoln, and while he was not at the event on 6/13 in Maroa, 30 days had not elapsed at that point. Saturday was indeed cancelled, making 7/19 the first July show. The title is being defended in a fatal four-way ladder match in Lincoln today. Did any of those guys learn anything from the Matt Cage/Markus Crane mess that got me directly involved?

For the weekend schedule, scroll down to the next post. Added is MMWA-SICW in East Carondelet.

This week on the Nose Bleed Seats, we go to Peoria to catch some action from Next Generation Wrestling. This week we feature tag action between Zero Gravity and the Feature Presentation, and an NGW Heavyweight Title defense between Ryan Phoenix and Al Snow!

Jul. 12th, 2009 @ 10:04 pm Wrestling Events This Week 7/13-7/19
Former NBWA, SLW and GAW referee and personality Shad Tally made his officiating debut on WWE RAW Monday night in the match between Matt Sydal vs. The Big Show.

Could NBWA lose their top venue? Because there's no state budget and a projected deficit of $9-$11.5 billion it could happen, the Lincoln's Challenge Academy has laid off over 100 employees and have pushed back the start of the 2009-2010 school year. Because 40% of the funds for LCA come from Illinois (the other 60% from the federal government and they're running a record deficit of $1.8 trillion) it is possible LCA will not open at all and leaves its future in question. (Hat tip to DC.)

Keith Smith has announced he will be coming out of retirement and wrestling at the next MMWA-SICW show in St. Louis.

This week on the Nose Bleed Seats we go to Lincoln, IL to check out some matches from Great American Wrestling. This week's matches include Abuse of Power vs. The Hooligans and Ryan Phoenix vs. Matty Montcalm.

The STLWC Matches of the Week are online. This week we feature singles action from WLW, one of the last appearances of Harker Dirge in an NBWA ring, the title match from MECW and Jerry Lynn vs. Cameron Cage from GCW back in 2006.

IWA Mid-South will be holding a training seminar before their event on July 25th at the Bellevue Plaza Gym starting at 4:30pm. The seminar is open to ANYONE (regardless if they did the tryout show the previous night or not) and cost to participate is only $10. The training will be led by Ian Rotten seconded by others to be named depending on availability. To sign up for the clinic send email to mickieknuckles@aol.com or rottenwife@aol.com or visit http://www.iwamidsouthwrestling.com

This is up early due to shows early in the week. For results from last weekend, scroll down to the next post.

May. 26th, 2009 @ 07:24 pm Weekend Events 5/29-5/31
BREAKING NEWS: WWCW has cancelled all their future events, which includes the May 6th event in Kennett, MO. I had gotten a heads up that this was coming a few days ago but it's now official. If you go to the WWCW website, you see an advertisement for Lethal Assault Entertainment MMA Cage Fighting. It appears the owners could be getting out of the wrestling business in favor of Mixed-Martial Arts and may be looking to compete directly with Absolute Fighting Challenge promoted by Dangerous Donny Sixx, which runs in the Missouri boothill. Sixx got out of the wrestling business a few years ago in favor of the more lucrative MMA market.

The preview video for HWA in Peoria tomorrow has been posted.

The events schedule for June has been posted, several organizations are planning to skip June entirely.

May. 23rd, 2009 @ 12:57 am Memorial Day Weekend Results
NCW's woes continue--their last event in Terre Haute, IN reportedly drew only four fans.

Submissions for the 2009 PWI 500 are due on MONDAY!

The STLWC Matches of the Week are online. This week we feature action from HWA, MECW, NBWA, and the "contraversial" tag match from PWE.

More IWA Mid-South news - another tryout show will be held on Friday June 19th, this time in Bellevue, IL at the Bellevue Plaza. Those who are interested in trying out (and I'd like to see a bigger number of the central Illinois talent turn out for this), send email Mickie at mickieknuckles@aol.com. Please include in the email your real name, wrestling name (if you have one) and phone number. Tickets for this show are $5.00. From prior tryout shows Ryan Phoenix, Kyle Rich, The Hooligans, and Bill the Butcher made the roster. The fans in attendance help decide who will return.

MWR gives their recap of WLW in Slater, MO on 4/14. Also interviews with Steve Anthony and Trevor Murdock.

Patrick comments on the MECW event on 5/22.

This week on the Nose Bleed Seats we have part two of our interview with Rampage Championship Wrestling promoter Frank Reed - this half we go into word association and discuss the area promotions and wrestlers.

Apparently someone hacked the administrator account on IWA-MS' board and posted a note claiming they were closing at the end of 2009. That is FALSE. IWA-MS is not closing down. I had to post this here cause a few indy news sites picked up the false story already. There were low draws over the weekend despite the caliber of talent in the lineups. The shows should be available on DVD in the next few weeks. IWA-MS is going back to Bellevue, IL on June 20th this time on a Saturday.

The Video Roll --

Mark Bland of Absolute Wrestling Radio seems to be getting cockier and cockier in his upcoming match with The Future Donovan Ruddick.

May. 18th, 2009 @ 06:59 pm Memorial Day Weekend Events 5/22-5/24
MMWA-SICW to mark the 50th anniversary of the Chase this weekend.

GAW CS Champ Matt Cage speaks out against Kenny O'Brien!

The former Scott County Wrestling which changed its name to Pro Wrestling Next recently is now a member of NWA Midwest. Mississippi Madman also has lost the PWN Heavyweight title to Danny Daniels on 5/15.

There are less than two weeks left for area wrestlers to submit their information for possible inclusion in the 2009 PWI 500. If you are a wrestler who's had more than 50 matches in a calendar year and have wrestled some of the names in the 2008 PWI 500, you're encouraged heavily to submit your info this year! Details on submission is here.

We have a late addition to the schedule...and I should say this is quite a busy Memorial Day weekend slate of events!

Additional info about his passing from RRO.

Funeral information for Tank Robertson has been released.
