MWR Writing Competition 2008
Portion of proceeds to go to the Wounded Warrior Project to assist
America's wounded veterans.


Missouri Wrestling Revival (MWR) is pleased to announce a special
writing competition for the summer of 2008! The competition is open to
all pro wrestling fans in Missouri and bordering states. The theme is
"Improving the Midwest Pro Wrestling Scene".

We want to hear your open, honest, professional solutions to the
problems faced by professional wrestling promotions in the Midwest.
Whether you are a wrestling fan, promoter, wrestler, or otherwise
connected to the business, MWR knows you have ideas that can
revitalize wrestling in the area. If you have solutions to the
challenges that pro wrestling promotions face, then create a memorable
essay that offers these solutions in a professional and
thought-provoking way. Your goal should be to cause a strong positive
reaction from all readers, regardless of his or her wrestling
background. Entries will be 1000 words or less, and there is a small
entry fee of $10 USD.


Purpose

MWR has put together this writing competition as yet another way to
give back to the Midwest pro wrestling community. In the spirit of
giving back to worthy causes, a portion of the proceeds from this
writing contest will go to the Wounded Warrior Project.


A Worthy Cause

One dollar from every entry fee will be donated to the Wounded Warrior
Project. The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) was founded on the
principle that veterans are our nation's greatest citizens. The WWP
seeks to assist those men and women of our armed forces who have been
severely injured during the conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other
locations around the world. Many of the injuries are traumatic
amputations, gunshot wounds, burns and blast injuries that will retire
these brave warriors from military service.

For more information on WWP, please visit www.woundedwarriorproject.org.


Topic Guidance

Your entry should focus on "Improving the Midwest Pro Wrestling
Scene". The interpretation is up to you. Each entry will be judged by
originality, understanding of pro wrestling, feasibility of solutions
offered, overall writing ability, and how closely the essay fits the
theme.


How to Enter

To enter, submit your essay in the body of an e-mail (no attachments)
to inadvertent.nerd@.... The essay should be 1000 words or less,
and should be submitted by July 31st, 2008 for your chance to win.

Nose Bleed Seats comes to television...

The Nose Bleed Seats hosted by Chris Lee, which began in summer 2007
as a video webcast on Google now comes to Springfield Comcast Cable
on Access 4 on Thursdays at 5:30am, 1:30pm and 10:30pm starting May
15th. NBS is a weekly program that features interviews with various
people involved in the local professional wrestling scene in central
Illinois and is shot on location.

While the program has been edited down to fit the 30 minute timeslot,
you can view the full-length interviews and prior episodes on the NBS
page at http://myspace.com/thenosebleedseats or go to Google Video
and search on "Nose Bleed Seats".

The debut episode of NBS on Access 4 features Chris Lee's recent trip
to Granite City to tour former UFC Welterweight champion Matt Hughes'
new H.I.T. Squad or Hughes Intensive Training Mixed Martial Arts
facility with interviews with several folks involved with the gym and
MMA.

Those interested in appearing on the program can contact Chris Lee on
the NBS Myspace page, or the show's video editor and occassional
guest host Crimefighter at http://myspace.com/rap_sheet.

This week I sit down with Scotty Cash and Benz of New Midwest
Wrestling. The interview went from start to finish a full 90 minutes
so I decided to divide it in half and show the first half this week
and the second half next week. Yes I discovered later the wind
interfered in parts of the video, so I captioned a few comments. I had
the camera directed away from the wind but the wind changed direction
a bit. I'll come up with a solution the next time around.

Next week, there will be a Nose Bleeds Seats announcement...I will not
tell you what it is until Monday so no emails about it, though I do
have an announcement now, Chris Lee will be returning to the hosts
chair in two weeks! Until then, enjoy this episode!

No movement anywhere really in the ranks.  Zero Gravity may go a full

Well with less than a week to go, gonna talk up the show a bit...

Sage Ramsey vs. Steven Bishop - these guys never liked each other, in
fact you could say their issues started from way back to the cult of
RON when they were fighting over the tag titles. Now it's fired up
again in Virden where Bishop wanted to stake his claim to be a title
contender and eliminate the competition...first by breaking the foot
of James Welden then challenging anyone to a ladder match...then
defeating Sage Ramsey. Bishop with his cronies will claim they ran
Hardcore KC and MS Madman out of NMW...getting rid of Sage Ramsey who
wants the belt from Spotlight sure as heck will get Bishop back in
the main event picture.

Toga Steve vs. Eric Ruffington - You think with a name like up and
comer that Ruffington would quit losing...but he hasn't quit
losing...in fact winning a first round match against the CI champ
seemed like an aborration, when he went down in a lightening fast
fast to Brett Gakiya, then got demolished by KC and Sage in Virden in
a laugher. It seems Ruffington only has The Dave left in his corner
after J-Mac destroyed Truk Thompson. Toga can only lose here if he
gets careless, or gets ripped off.

Spotlight Spencer Powers vs. Brett Gakiya vs. CJ Esparza - For the
heavyweight title, the members of Zero G are each in themselves a
triple threat specialist. If there were a triple threat title in NMW
they would have held it by now. You'd think with a tag team wrestling
Spencer that he would be a huge underdog...but there's a problem.
Anyone who's watched any Brett vs. CJ match knows they have no qualms
fighting each other...and they have. They've had a similiar match
against a different fed's champ not too long ago, and the every man
for himself mentality spelled their defeat. Spencer's best hope if he
is to keep his belt that Zero G are made to fight each other...but if
they conduct this match in a we don't care who wins as long as it's
not Spencer...he's in big trouble.


As for the other matches in the lineup...we don't know and wished we
did!

At the Virden Picnic on the Square, NMW will be holding shows on Friday
and Saturday from 7-9pm.  It will be outside, and you'll probably need
to bring your own chairs.  Virden, IL is on route 4 just inside
Macoupin County 20 miles south of Springfield.  Come one, come all.

Enter your vote today!  A new poll has been created for the

Enter your vote today!  A new poll has been created for the
NewMidwest group:

Justin MacIntyre stated that he wasn't going to wrestle at the company he
promotes anymore after losing the survivor series match at First Blood.  At
Revolution he was forced to stand in for Toga Steve against Tank Roberts.  The
question is, do you believe J-Mac should continue wrestling at NMW despite being
the promoter or do you think he shouldn't wrestle at NMW because he's the
promoter?

   o J-Mac should stop wrestling at NMW
   o J-Mac should keep wrestling at NMW
   o J-Mac should keep wrestling at NMW only if he doesn't book himself into
title matches
   o No opinion

We here at New Midwest Wrestling are proud to be a part of our
community in the Springfield area. And we're also proud to announce
that we'll be working with Habitat for Humanity of Sangamon County in
the very near future.

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, worldwide Christian organization
that works in partnership with God and people everywhere to build
decent, affordable houses in which people can live and grow into all
that God intended. Habitat for Humanity challenges people of
compassion to provide support -- through tax-deductible donations,
no-interest loans and volunteer labor -- to build or renovate simple,
decent houses for the inadequately sheltered. Construction is a
partnership venture between volunteers and future homeowners. Houses
are sold at no profit and with a no-interest mortgage repaid over a 15
to 25 year period. House payments are recycled into a Fund For
Humanity used to build more houses.

Starting tomorrow, Wednesday, June 6th, wrestlers and staff will be
volunteering time for two different builds for June. Walls will be
delivered at around 11:00 a.m. to 813 Knoll Pointe, in the subdivision
right behind the old Cub Foods.

We're glad to help the community we are very much a part of.

Well despite the twists and turns of this brouhaha...there's a game
this Saturday!  And I would hate to see that another attempt to bring
something different to Springfield fail due to some crook ruining it
for everyone, so I'm asking everyone to turn out for the Stallions vs.
Thunder game at the Prairie Capital Convention Center this Saturday at
7pm.  All tickets are $10, except fieldside seats which are $30.

After a two year run at the Warehouse, the location is closing up.  The
next NMW event on May 5th they will be returning to the American Center
on 1501 E. Griffths Ave, just off 19th St. and Sangamon Ave.  See ya
there!

~ SATURDAY, APRIL 14th ~
~ THE WAREHOUSE ~
~ 2548 S. 1ST STREET - SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS ~
~NEW MIDWEST WRESTLING'S ANNIVERSARY EVENT~


Five years ago, Springfield's "Midwest Wrestling Alliance" changed
into what would become the top wrestling promotion in the Midwest, NEW
MIDWEST WRESTLING. At that time, the lives of many young men and women
changed forever. Since then, there have been heated rivalries and
unparalleled, breath-taking matches. People have come and gone, and
come back again and again. New Midwest Wrestling, in whatever form, is
a great big family, not only backstage, but also in the fan base that
has stuck with it in it's storied history. We're friends, enemies and
fans of this company, and it will forever hold a place in our heart.
Which makes us proud to bring you FIRST BLOOD, one of the biggest
events to ever attempt to tear down the WAREHOUSE!


MAIN EVENT
---

8-Man Elimination War

The New Midwest Originals, Born and Bred
Stan Sallinger, Eric Ruffington, Spencer Powers and Guy Smith

vs

Benz, Lucious P. CoTrain, Justin MacIntyre
and New Midwest Wrestling Champion Eric Logan


This could very well shape what will be New Midwest Wrestling will
represent in it's biggest year, yet. The battle lines have been drawn
and people have chosen sides.

On one side, you have those people who feel that New Midwest Wrestling
history has been tainted by the antics and "egotistical" vision that
Justin MacIntyre has brought during his tenure as Events Promoter for
the company. Led by Guy Smith, who proclaims that MacIntyre has ruined
the years of hard work Smith has gone through to carry New Midwest on
his back, this team looks to dominate and take back what they feel is
rightfully theirs. Spencer Powers, has been stripped of being able to
challenge Eric Logan for the New Midwest Title, and he's not in good
mood. Stan Sallinger is one of the founding fathers of New Midwest
Wrestling. Eric Ruffington, the self proclaimed "Up and Comer", looks
to prove his own worth.

On the other side of the ring, are men who stand firm in the beliefs
of New Midwest Wrestling's growth as a company and as a family. Ready
to face the Originals and their ideas head on, this team is Captained
by "The Big Irish" Justin MacIntyre. New Midwest Wrestling Champion,
Eric Logan is full of steam as he has had one of the most emotional
title reign in recent memory, with many ups and downs. Along with
fellow Hot Boy, Scotty Cash, no one is more prepared to finally take
advantage of a great opporitunity than Benz. Lucious P. CoTrain is
very eager to put Stand Sallinger and his big fat mouth to rest. And
then there's the Events Promoter of New Midwest Wrestling, Justin
MacIntyre. Taking away from no one, there's not one person in this
match with more pride on the line than the Big Irish. He's turned New
Midwest Wrestling around in it's most dire hour, and to be faced with
the hate and bitter ideas of Guy Smith and his crew is something that
cannot stand any longer. It's a testament to his pride that he's
lasted this long...

This is definitively what a Main Event is all about. You can't miss it.


Stay tuned to other newswires throughout the next few days, when we'll
discuss the LAST MAN STANDING MATCH between Sage Ramsey and Jackie
Sazerak, as well as the Central Illinois Title defense, and, of
course, The Brawl Between the Walls event at the Priarie Capital
Convention Center, scheduled after the Springfield Stallions Home
Opener on April 7th.




Tickets are $5.00 in advance and $8.00 on the day of the event.
Official Bell Time is 7:00 p.m.
