Welcome to Mississippi Valley Wrestling!!

As a lifelong fan of professional wrestling, I've always enjoyed the thrill and excitement of what professional wrestling has always stood for. Unfortunately, that has gone by the wayside with WWE and TNA. It's now more entertainment than sport.

I've created this place as an outlet for my passion for professional wrestling and roleplaying skills. The idea behind MVW came to me one day while watching old tapes of "The Legends of World Class Championship Wrestling." I thought, "What a great way to keep with wrestling but not have to deal with the constant demands of weekly cards, minimum roleplay submissions, etc.

The MVW is a wrestling organization started in Tupelo, Mississippi on March 9, 1978. It spread all along the Mississippi River, breaking into a Headwaters District (Iowa & Minnesota) and Delta District (Louisiana). It's final card was held March 9, 2008, in Tupelo, Mississippi, on the thirtieth anniversary of the original card.

This blog will consider matches from all over the time period as I see fit to write them. The first few will establish the original twelve wrestlers in the MVW and then proceed into some of the major feuds that happened in its thirty-year history.

The wrestler makeup of this organization has twelve "real" wrestlers and more than seventy original wrestlers. The twelve "real" wrestlers have been taken from the regional days of wrestling, mostly those who disappeared after a while on the local scene in Memphis, Dallas, Tulsa or Minnesota. These twelve are: Iceman King Parsons, Eli the Eliminator, Savannah Jack, Paul Diamond, Pat Tanaka, Dirty White Boy, Al Madril, Lash LeRoux, 'Mr. Electricity' Steve Regal, J.C. Ice, Wolfie D and Handsome Lance (von Erich).

I hope you enjoy this excursion into the mind of an avid fan of old school professional wrestling.
