From the Old M.P.S. Archives....

Okay, Mr. Karis got me reminiscing about the good old days when the hobby was young! I started looking through the old M.P.S. Archives and found one of our old Bi-Weekly Newsletters that I used to send out to all of the M.P.S .Members. The newsletter kept us all connected, and abreast of any new developments in the hobby. Members could also send me anything they wanted to post, and I would in turn put it into the newsletter format for all to see. It’s kind of long, so I won’t post any more of these here. Instead, I’ll archive them at "The M.U.S.C.L.E. Dojo" soon. I'll let you know when I do this.
Enjoy.....

I know it's a little late for me to be doing this but I've decided to
finally put together an all pink M.U.S.C.L.E. set for myself. I'm
looking for basically all and any pink M.U.S.C.L.E.s you have to spare.
The problem is, is that I've either traded or even given most of my
doubles away, so I could only pay cash for any M.U.S.C.L.E.s you've got
to spare. But for those of you whom I've GIVEN a few to, this is the
time to pay me back if you'd like. I'd really appreciate any help. For some reason all my M.U.S.C.L.E.s are
covered with this damn paint! Yuck!

Also, if you haven't already, check out my newly revamped "M.U.S.C.L.E.
Championship Wrestling" website. No new wrestlers, just a new look.

For all you MCW fans information, Mr. Intensity has lost the World Title
to Peck Peck the Giant this last Friday. Check out News & Rumors section
on my site for details.

See you all at the chat in May!!! Thanks, Jason Radniecki

AND NOW.............Lets get ready to
rumblllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllle!!!!!!

It's time for Dave Woodrum's MWL Report, and it's an exciting one!......

Sunday Night Brawl, 4-19-98

Here are the event of the 4-19 Sunday Night Brawl....

The Bondsman (# 181) d. Trailblazer (# 182)- This was a very good match, though rather short
since Trailblazer proved to be no match for The Bondsman. After a few moves and a couple of
minutes in the ring, Trailblazer submitted to an ankle snap.

Judo London (# 200) d. Captain Krinkle (# 233)- First Judo becomes a first class wrecker of
families, now he's into dreams. Though the good captain was trying to restore his image in MWL,
Judo had a bag full of karate kicks and wrestling moves to stop Krinkle in his tracks. Though
Captain Krinkle put up a good fight, a torture rack finished him off.

Muscleman (#141) d. Rampage (#111)- For all those fans of Muscleman waiting for his first
MWL victory, the waiting ended here. Going up against Rampage, a new MWL wrestler who
claims a lot more than he shows, The Muscleman spent no time getting into the action. In fact,
within moments, he had worn down the "mighty" Rampage and a final powerbomb finished things
off.

Heavy Metal Rocker (#73) d. Canadian Ninja (#26)- This was a good match between two MWL
fan favorites. Though the Canadian Ninja fought well, he was no match for the Rocker and an
early bear hug proved it.

SPECIAL THREE MAN MATCH: Nighthawke (#46) d. Turbo(#232) and Tangle (#129)-
This is a match that will linger in the minds of MWL fans for a long time to come. First off, after
being referred to as "the worst wrestler in MWL", Nighthawke won his first match. Second, it
was a special three man match with the "last man standing" law. While this was surprising
enough, the big news was that one of the wrestlers defeated was none other than Tangle, who is
currently one of the top wrestlers in the MWL. The match started with Turbo charging into
Tangle, then when an opening came, Nighthawke rushed in with his own attacks, ending his
strategy with a sleeper hold that Tangle could'nt get out of. With Tangle out of the way and
Turbo quite surprised, Nighthawke began wearing down his second opponent. Finally, Turbo
submitted to the same sleeper that took out Tangle.

Sunday Night Brawl, 4-26-98

Here's the news of the 4-26 Sunday Night Brawl....

New Wrestlers: There are ten new wrestlers to join the ranks....

The Fox (#124)- Since there are other great wrestlers in the MWL that compete in other
federations, there's no reason that the MWL should'nt pay large amounts of money to bring in
The Fox as well.

Slate (#65)- A new edition to the growing MWL cruiser weight division.

Cyrus Grippe (#27)- Old friend and sometimes rival of Tangle.

Billy Thugg (#29)- Rugged West VA wild man.

Eric "The Norseman" Norse (#50)- A noble Viking powerhouse.

Blade Diamond (#126)- Straight from L.A. and into the ring. Blade is a distant cousin of Kilroy
Anvil.

Dragon Master (#166)- The first of several Asian warriors expected to arrive in the MWL.

"Texas" Pete Austin (#208)- King of body slams, torture racks, airplane spins, and back breakers.

Shawn "Shag Nasty" Shagster (#223)- Past legend, now looking for success in the MWL.

Tread (#231)- Friend of Trailblazer.

Here are the results of the Brawl...

Judo London (#200) d. Blade Diamond (#126)- Judo, who seems to be losing popularity by the
week, is still one of the best competitors in MWL, even though hardly anyone likes him. Blade
decided to make his debut against Judo and that ended up being a mistake. After being battered by
several roundhouse kicks, Blade submitted to Judo as the unpopular martial artist peformed a
devastating claw.

Stan Special (#69) d. Turbo (#232)- This appeared to be a battle of bulldogging and body tackles
and Stan, being an ex football player, naturally won. Sure, Turbo put up a good fight and all, but
there was little more than he could do other than step in for Stan's tackling dummy.

"Gorgeous" Gary Beautiful (#101) d. Muscleman (#141)- Though Muscleman has been making a
comeback, he is not quite ready to face someone like Gary Beautiful. Using a series of moves
both dirty and lethal, Gary managed to wear Muscleman down enough to get on an unbreakable
dragon sleeper.

Eddy Greece (#211) d. Slik "The Sleaze" Slasher (#207)- This match probably had some of the
most support of any match in the MWL. First off, the fans were going wild for Eddy Greece
(though Slik assumed the cheers were for him) and second, Terribull showed up to "coach" Eddy
(followed by The Bondsman for Slik). Though Slik managed to land a few good moves, Eddy
walked out with the victory.

Nighthawke (#46) d. The Bondsman (#181) and Slate (#65)- After his victory in the three man
match last week, Nighthawke felt the need to do it again and thus he did....this time against the
newly signed Slate and the fearsome Bondsman. While The Bondsman intended to take both the
wrestlers down, Nighthawke and Slate battered him up first. The Bondsman soon submitted to a
sleeper (thanks to Nighthawke) and the two remaining wrestlers, both cruiser weights, battled it
out for the victory. Nighthawke managed to get Slate in a sleeper as well, allowing Nighthawke a
second MWL win and a closer shot at the World Championship Title.

"Texas" Pete Austin (#208) d. Phaser (#167) and Kilroy Anvil (#71)- In the second and final
three man match of the evening, Pete Austin proved to worthy enough to wrestle in the MWL.
First off, with some help from Kilroy, Pete managed to wipe out Phaser by getting him in the
torture rack. Then, after a hard battle with Kilroy, Pete also managed to take out his other
opponent with the torture rack.
