3XW All Stars of the Midwest brings some great action!

The local Des Moines wrestling promotion 3XW has been bringing quality wrestling to central Iowa for years now. They also have been bringing some of their great talent to television and the internet on a regular basis.

Their most recent episode features Midwest stalwart Mark Sterling challenging another long time 3XW regular Jeremy Wyatt in a Dog Collar match for the 3XW Heavyweight Championship. The card also features the legendary Malia Hosaka against local Stacy O'Brien as part of the slowly growing women's division of 3XW. It is a very solid showing by some Midwest originals that always need more exposure. Check it out.

It has not been a good week in the world of wrestling

Monday did not kick off well for the wrestling world. While Seth Rollins learned he would have two title matches at Night of Champions much to his chagrin (and apparently ignorance of the whole "every title is on the line" stipulation of the show), that was far from the worst news. Reality came in the way of simple storylines with two big nasty happenings. And as I write this a third case seems to slowly be coming forward, one decades in the making.

GMA kicked off things with Hulk Hogan's apology tour getting underway. It was nothing really of note, just the expected thing for a celebrity to do in the wake of a very public misstep. It was newsworthy at the time, but quickly faded from the wrestling news radar as far more disturbing actions came to light.
