A former Missouri State Heavyweight Champion in his own right, Slater has seen success everywhere he's been, and adds to an astounding collection of competitors that already includes Nick Bockwinkel and David Von Erich! The Missouri Heavyweight Championship Tournament will be taking place on Independence Day, the Fourth of July, at the Kiel Auditorium in St. Louis, MO! Tickets available at the box office, and, rest assured, more names and matches WILL be announced! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedhemingway Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 STAMPEDE SENDS JIM 'THE ANVIL' NEIDHART TO JULY 4th TOURNAMENT The announcements are coming in hot and heavy as the greatest competitors from across the globe thrown their names into the mix to become the next Missouri Heavyweight Championship on July 4th! Central States Wresting is proud to announce that an agreement has been made with Stampede Wrestling in Calgary, Alberta, Canada to see one of the strongest men in all of professional wrestling return to his home country and compete for that prestigious title as JIM 'THE ANVIL' NEIDHART will be in St. Louis, Missouri on Independence Day! Along with this announcement, rumors are also beginning to swirl that the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Harley Race, will be in action on July 4th, possibly against a top contender! That's not all, however, as we've also received word that a former Missouri Heavyweight Champion is looking to regain that belt, and will be in the Kiel Auditorium on July 4th! More on both of those rumors as we receive them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedhemingway Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 TWO MORE FOR TOURNAMENT! The Independence Day Tournament to decide the vacant Missouri Heavyweight Championship is nearly complete as two more names have entered the fray, leaving only two open slots in what is shaping up to be one of the most prestigious tournaments in quite some time! From SOUTHEASTERN CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING comes a young up and coming talent, whom it was recently announced will be taking an excursion up to New York for more seasoning, but not before he gets an opportunity to put gold around his waist as BOBBY EATON will be in St. Louis on the Fourth of July to compete for the Missouri Heavyweight Championship. However, with all due respect to Mr. Eaton, quite literally the BIGGEST name to throw his hat into the ring is KING KONG BUNDY, who, at a press conference arranged by the massive competitor's new representative, the infamous 'PLAYBOY' GARY HART, announced his intention to leave the Kiel Auditorium with the championship. While tournament draws have not been announced, Bundy and Hart made clear that they do not believe there is a man in the National Wrestling Alliance who would willingly step into the ring with Bundy.

dedhemingway Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Two Names Round Out July Fourth Tournament Independence Day is nearly upon us, and with it comes the much hyped eight man, single elimination tournament to decide the next Missouri Heavyweight Champion! Over the past week Central States Wrestling has been working the phone to bring in the top talent from around the United States, and, indeed, the world, and it is now time to announce the men who will take the last two, much coveted, openings. Despite their recent dalliance, and, indeed, commitment to the 'rival' American Wrestling Alliance, Southwest Championship Wrestling has, over the last few weeks, become one of the closest partners to Central States Wrestling, and it's easy to see why, as the recent shake-up in the world of professional wrestling has allowed the promotions to make a lot of moves that they might otherwise have been unable to achieve. With that in mind, Central States is happy to announce a second entrant from deep in the heart of Texas, as the young EL GRAN APOLLO, on his way to a learning excursion with the World Wrestling Federation, will make a stop in St. Louis to try his hand at earning gold, and some name recognition, to take with him to New York. While we do not know who El Gran Apollo will be facing on the Fourth of July, we do know two men he will not, and that's because DICK THE BRUISER, recently of the World Wrestling Association out of Indianapolis, and a former Missouri Heavyweight Champion in his own right, has recently been in touch with Central States proprietor Bob Giegel, and Da Bruiser has asked for, and received, an opening round match with the massive KING KONG BUNDY! Inflamed by the incendiary remarks made by Bundy, and his spokesman, 'PLAYBOY' GARY HART, at the recent press conference announcing his entry into the tournament, Da Bruiser has called his shot, and will face the 6'4", 458 pound behemoth from Atlantic City, New Jersey on the Fourth of July! The date rapidly approaches, and the rest of the tournament seedings will be announced shortly. Until that time, however, we leave you with a pair of rumors. One, we have it on good authority that NWA World Heavyweight Champion Harley Race WILL be in action at the Kiel Auditorium on Independence Day... against none other than former champion, and top contender... 'NATURE BOY' RIC FLAIR? Nothing is set in stone, but it wouldn't surprise us if the two met once again. Secondly, the Central States Tag Team Champions, 'BULLDOG' BOB BROWN and BUZZ TYLER, are expected to defend those championships as well...but against who?
