Powers has been reluctant to address the rumors that he is Red River Jack.  Speculation says that Powers debuted the RRJ persona to avoid his suspension in 2014.  Will Powers prove the two are separate?

The Sports Academy in Glen Carbon hosts Dynamo Pro Wrestling this Friday night, June 19.  Mike Outlaw will probably be there seeking a title rematch against Jake Dirden.

Outlaw’s title aspirations are looking better, since former Executive Director Mark Bland was fired last week.

In Fenton on the 13th, Bland stopped the main event in favor of Jake Dirden.  Dirden retained his title and Mike Outlaw was screwed.

Gary Jackson tries to regain the MMWA Heavyweight Title for the first time in over two years at the South Broadway Athletic Club on June 13.  However, Da’Marius Jones is no longer the champion to beat.

A.J. Williams redeemed an old Sean Orleans-endorsed title match contract to steal the MMWA Heavyweight Title from Jones last month.
