Weekend Results 5/17-5/20

A scary incident occurred last night in Bellevue, where Dan the Man was hospitalized after missing a flying body tackle. DTM ascended to the top rope to dive on his opponent, but did not get enough distance and was just off to the side with the jump for it to connect proper. DTM hit the floor on his back, shoulder, and head. The show was terminated at that point and the building cleared. DTM was conscious and responsive upon leaving for a Peoria area hospital.

UPDATE (Sat AM): From what has been said publicly, the injuries suffered included a broken collarbone and a cracked skull with bleeding on the brain. DTM says he will be back. The NBS crew extend speedy recovery wishes to DTM.

UPDATE 2 (Sat PM): Right now DTM will be kept in ICU for another evening. Waylon Beck has been staying with him and keeping everyone updated.

UPDATE 3 (From NMW, Sun AM): After a terrible accident Friday night and a very touch and go Saturday, things are really starting to look up. Dan has been released from the ICU and is much more coherent, eating a bit more regularly, has been sitting up, walking around and is making a hell of a recovery. This is going to be quite the challenge to get to 100% and Dan still appreciates your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

UPDATE 4 (Mon AM): Dan the Man has been released from a Peoria area hospital this morning and is headed home to rest up.


While the following injury reports aren't as horrific as the above, this takes them out of action nonetheless - Travis Weir of the Windy City Saints is out for three weeks for a knee injury that required it to be drained of fluid. According to Pro Wrestling Collision, Joey O'Riley suffered a non-wrestling injury over the weekend that will require surgery; PWC declined to specify details on what kind of injury Joey suffered.

DOWNTIME: Well bad luck for us, it just so happened the server in which the rap_sheet account was on needed maintenance preventing me from updating the page, then the server in which stlwrestling was on needed maintenance as well and it took longer for it to be fixed. The results post from last weekend ended up being lost alas. The fact you're seeing this message means the maintenance work is hopefully all done.

Submissions for the 2013 PWI 500 are now open! Submissions are due on July 1st! There was a healthy representation from the area on the 2012 list and we'd like to see our area represented again this year!

Weekend Results 4/19-4/21

The day after wrestling in a cage match and a ladder match for Zero One, the former Midwest X Champion Oliver Cain suffered an ankle fracture in a match the following day at IWAU. It is unknown the extent of the damage but he will be out of action indefinitely.

The unaffiliated Rumble for the Kids wrestling event in Princeton (which may had been run by NAPW or IWAP) reportedly drew 800 fans. We don't have card results but it was headlined by Chief Attakullakulla vs. Pretty Boy Floyd.

The STLWC forums have been upgraded to version five of Proboards. Things look a bit different but hopefully still as functional as it was.

Davey Richards teases going to WWE.

Sami Callihan may be heading to WWE as well...

Weekend Events 4/19-4/21

The Southern: Preview of PWC/CPW's event in Carbondale this weekend.

Video: Bear St. Pierre & Oliver Cain make an appearance on WCIX's Morning Show.

It was announced that The Kentucky Buffet will be entered into the CHIKARA Tag World Grand Prix 2013 tournament in Chicago 5/18. - Also announced that are regulars in this area were Arik Cannon & Darin Corbin as AC/DC.

FALSE ADVERTISEMENT ALERT - Mr. 450 Hammett has posted on FB that he is being falsely advertised for an event on April 20th in North Platte, Nebraska; being put on by Wrestling Superstars Live (formerly Dale Ganger's AWA) affiliate Pro Wrestling Stampede. He also states Golddust, featured in the center of the poster, was not contacted to appear on this event either. While the poster has the fine print of "talent subject to change", Gagner has a notorious history of advertising wrestlers that were never booked only give lame excuses to the live crowds as to why they aren't there. UPDATE: Well it seems they postponed the show to August 10th, they removed Golddust and put a TNA guy there but 450 remains on it!

This week on the NBS TV we head to Maroa, IL to check out action from Pro Wrestling Glory. Matches include Waylon Beck taking on Tony G for the Mid-American title, and Matty Montcalm challenges Guy Smith for the PWG Glory title. DVDs of PWG events are available for purchase by contacting http://facebook.com/prowrestlingglory

Dreamwave: Alex Castle & Markus Crane argue over match prep.

Dreamwave: Recap of Nick Brubaker vs. Jason Hades.

In yet another unpopular decision by TNA Gutcheck, where Gutcheck is already on very shaky ground with fans the past few months, the judges turned down former NWA World Champ and the MWR Wrestler of the Year Adam Pearce citing that he has TOO MUCH experience in the ring. However, the man they brought to the ring, Magno was also turned down, as the judges seemingly were swayed by the crowd who didn't think he was a keeper. The crowd booed the elimination of Pearce. Personally, making Pearce go through Gutcheck was like making AJ Styles go through Tough Enough. Already there's chatter about Pearce actually being hired and the newest member of Aces & Eights. This same chatter was made about Ivelisse Velez though after Gutcheck has only appeared since in two pre-taped specialized TNA PPVs.

Some disturbing chatter on Facebook was found this week where allegedly fans at IWAU have fired emails to particular wrestlers either threatening them or friends of theirs motivated by whatever act that occurred during an event that angered them. There's also been unwanted emails and texts making unwanted solicitations of wrestlers as well of which some have been shared for others to publicly mock for its sheer idiocy. For the individuals threatening wrestlers if you don't understand what a wrestling show is maybe you should find something else to do with your time. For the individuals making unwanted solicitations, you could end up being the next punchline on "You are NOT getting BOOKED!"

This week on the NBS TV - As part of the ten more influential people in central Illinois wrestling series, this week we interview "The Business" Bobby Houston. We look back on his beginnings in wrestling, going to the Carolinas and returning, his evolution, teaching the next group of talent and much more.

A schedule correction - NWA Central States will indeed be running on Saturday, April 27th instead of Friday the 26th.

A campaign started by the FB page Wrestling Memes to make the theme song of WWE wrestler Fandango the #1 downloaded song on iTunes has been going strong in the United Kingdom since Monday's surreal episode of RAW, already it has charted to #11 at last check. Oddly, charting above it at #1 is "Ding-Dong The Witch Is Dead" from Wizard of Oz, pushed heavily by extremely bitter left-wing opponents of the late Margaret Thatcher.

Chamber chorus concert has a wrestling theme - to perform at South Broadway April 14th.

From Chicago: Lisa Marie Varon (aka Tara/Victoria) opens The Squared Circle.

While Benjamin Stidham's murder trial is on hold pending a mental evaluation, he is facing more charges for getting into a brawl with a fellow inmate last week. According to the Lebanon Daily Record - A Laclede County Jail guard reported (4/4) that an inmate, a 37-year-old Lebanon man, was returning to his pod after attending an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in the jail’s gym. The inmate spoke to a guard and then walked to his cell where he and inmate Benjamin Stidham, 20, of Springfield, got into a fight. A guard went to the cell and broke the fight up, according to a Laclede County Sheriff’s Office incident report. Stidham pled guilty to third degree assault last year and was sentenced to one year in jail.

Schedule for April

Has TNA blundered with Gutcheck again? With TNA's latest tryout match between Adam Pearce, a 17-year veteran and former four-time NWA World Champion versus Magno...I am wondering why didn't TNA sign Pearce outright? Why is TNA having him go through Gutcheck? Isn't Gutcheck for those who are little known or talent that no one's heard of not well-known mainstream talent? I consider it to be the equivalent to let's say AJ Styles going to WWE and making him go through Tough Enough. I guess WWE did that to Low-Ki, but he left soon after because they badly mishandled him with their ridiculous six-foot, 225 pound minimum of "what a wrestler looks like."

Another one that flew WAY under the radar, apparently Crossroad Championship Wrestling is going to be running it's first show since 2007 on Friday, April 5th at the VFW Hall in Terre Haute, IN. CCW is the promotion that reality TV star Michelle Deighton originated from.

I dunno how I missed this story, but a fire shut down UIWA Illinois in Metropolis (formerly Do or Die Pro Wrestling) a couple weeks ago rendering the building known as the Ed Love Memorial Arena unusable for assembly. No equipment was lost however and a new venue is being sought.

WWE and Martha Hart reach a settlement after the accident in Kansas City that claimed the life of Owen Hart.

With Benjamin Stidham's trial being on hold until a mental evaluation is performed, Jacky Wong's sentencing has once again been pushed back to August as he is expected to be called as a witness to testify against Stidham when that trial resumes in July.

Easter Weekend Results

A fast-tracked segment of the NBS TV this week - we interview Darin Corbin on his upcoming match at St. Louis Anarchy.



Another development in the Stidham trial, as we reported a few days ago the defense had filed its intent to defend by saying he's not guilty due to mental illness. That has resulted in another delay in the trial for three months as a psychiatric examination regarding competency will be performed. Status will be heard on July 8th. My analysis: I think the defense is grasping as straws here, it's clear this guy had an evil attitude when he took pleasure in acting like a monster posting as such the day he helped commit these murders. At first they were gonna try the unwilling participant defense which friends or family reveals when they had a "Free Ben Stidham" page on Facebook. Now three years later they are gonna claim he was mentality ill all along and that's why he joined the other three in this triple homicide? Truth be told, murder is a crazed act, but I believe Stidham is just crazy like a fox. Meanwhile Jacky Wong will be sentenced for his role on Monday.

Preview of St. Louis Anarchy on 4/19.

Easter Weekend Events

Benjamin Stidham trial update: According to docket entries listed in his case file, the defense has filed notice they intend to rely on a defense of not guilty of murder by reason of mental disease or defect. Motions to suppress evidence and statements by Stidham have also been filed. One of those statements most likely being that infamous status message on his Myspace page saying it felt good to be a monster. Rulings on all these motions were scheduled for today.

Reid Flair, the son of Ric Flair was found deceased in a Charlotte hotel room. No cause of death at age 24 has been reported, but it is known that he had a history of drug use that has kept him from joining WWE, TNA or ROH.

This week on the NBS we head back to Jacksonville for more Proving Ground Pro - featured on the program is the return of Randy Ray taking on St. Louis wrestler AJ Williams, our first look at King Entertainment as they take on the newly formed team the Moonshine Boys, and by request the Hooligans challenge Zero Gravity for the PGP tag titles in what we could call a rematch from NMW in January.

Not a lot happening this weekend, but southwestern Missouri gets an rare chance to see a wrestling event that isn't WWE or TNA if the MAC doesn't muck it up. We believe IWAU will not be running on Sunday due to Easter.

Wrestling Events 3/15-3/17

WLW has cancelled its weekend events due to expected snow.

WWE referee Jack Doan, who is from Danville has reportedly separated from the organization, reasons unknown.

Former WWE and WLW personality Chris Masters says he saved his mothers life last night from an attempted murder incident by an attacker who barricaded the victim inside her apartment and set it on fire. Masters with help of police smashed a window using a tree to rescue her. The attacker is said to be in custody. Information was gathered via tweets and two photos posted by Masters.

Ivelisse Velez did indeed pop up in TNA again over the weekend, taking part in the Knockout Knockdown and was representing Aces & Eights in the World Cup of Wrestling tournament. However, several other names that participated that haven't been or previously were a part of TNA were also in the lineup, including Cheerleader Melissa, Santana Garrett and Jillian Hall. Whether they are officially a part of the full-time roster or were brought in for spot appearances in what was described as six separate PPV tapings(?) in Orlando is unclear.

Jimmy Karryt to debut for PWA in Springfield.

PWC in Carbondale on 3/23. - Jerome Cusson announced that he is essentially boycotting this show due to Bull Bronson shoving Bob Fester and Matt Cage calling out Heath Hatton's own family at the last set of tapings.

Devin gives us the rundown of what's coming for the Hooligans, whatever happened to Neil Diamond Cutter, what is the one thing that most tag teams are missing today, thoughts on teams they haven't faced yet and more. And in the second interview Justin MacIntyre gives an update on the hiatus of New Midwest Wrestling, why not run outside of town for a while, federation sprawl, the wish list for CI wrestling and more. Hosted by MOAV5706 and the Mad Conservative.

Illinois goes awry - Initial Story from Wrestling News Center, follow up information, interview with the promoter.

MWR: Tickets for Legends of St Louis Wrestling on Sale now!! Get them before they are sold out! - I don't know how big of a venue this is, but billboards advertising the event have been seen around the area that would lend itself to be there being a large crowd.

MWR: Preview of Pro Wrestling Collision, with a surprise signing of a new team.

Hacksaw Butch Reed to appear at SICW on May 18th.

Nelson Six is out of action indefinitely with an arm injury, which was why Bryan Ealey had to go it alone at PWG. There's some confusion as to when/how it happened.

Travis Weir is wrestling with a sore arm a week after the hardcore match at New Wave Pro, which played a factor in them losing the UWC tag titles.
