San Antonio's Top Wrestlers

San Antonio’s Top Wrestlers Through the first seven months of 2007, wrestling in San Antonio has been outstanding from a fan's point of view. Over 200 different wrestlers have performed on shows for more than a half-dozen promotions. Top talent from around the world have been brought into San Antonio by several of these promotions. Some of these wrestlers are here for one show, while others make return appearances.

With this in mind, The San Antonio Independent Wrestling Scene is collecting a list of wrestlers who work here, specifically, those who work in San Antonio often enough to be considered "San Antonio Wrestlers." By reviewing the reports at http://blog.myspace.com/www.saindywrestlingscene.blogspot.com I have come up with a list of 22 wrestlers (in alphabetical order) who have wrestled on at least 10 shows in San Antonio. At least seven more wrestlers will join this list by the end of August. At the end of the year, The Scene will sponsor a vote to name "San Antonio's Top Wrestlers." This will be similar to the Indy Warz Texas Top 100 (http://blog.myspace.com/www.indywarz.com) but be limited to those who have worked the requisite number of shows in San Antonio.

While Internationally known talent such as Jerry Lynn, Masada and Hotstuff Hernandez have all had major impact on San Antonio wrestling this year; none has thus far worked the minimum number of shows and are therefore absent (so far) from the list of qualified wrestlers. A second vote might be held for those who don't end the year with ten appearances. A third vote might also be held for the one-shot wrestlers.

Voting will begin in late December, but I am printing and updating the list here. If there is a wrestler whose name seems to be missing, please let me know so I may investigate further. I don't get to see every show, and unless someone sends a report to The Scene I cannot confirm who wrestled on shows I did not attend.

To be counted, the show must have been inside Bexar County (San Antonio Shows, Lackland AFB and the STPW shows in Shertz qualified, but shows in Seguin, Boerne, Bandera and beyond do not.) Wrestlers who work under numerous names/personas are judged based on the matches for each persona. For example… Berry Breeze has worked under the name "Berry" and "Berry Breeze." Both names refer to the same persona, so the totals are added. However, Berry worked a few shows early in the year as "Jared Haasham." This was a different persona and those shows are not included in the number that qualify Berry to be on the list. It is therefore possible that one person could be on the list twice as two different personas if he worked enough under both names. For the record, I received permission from Berry before revealing his alter-ego. Most of those who work two or more personas prefer to not have that secret revealed.

So, the list of Wrestlers who have wrestled on a minimum of 10 shows in Bexar County thus far in 2007 are, in ALPHABETICAL ORDER:

Berry Breeze
Darin Childs
Andrew Dalton
"One Man" Mike Dell
Dragon X
Rory Fox
Gabe "The Babe"
Don Juan
Jacob Ladder
Lemus II
Ozzy Manson
Chris Marval
Mojo
Mr. Muerte
Jaykus Plisken
Rexx Reed
Renegade
Rudy Russo
The Great Ryu
Sicodelico Jr.
Joey Spector
Rachel Summerlyn
Showtime Summers
Shawn Vexx
Virus

Please note. If you have any disagreement with any of the names on this list, remember that The San Antonio Independent Wrestling Scene is MY report. This is MY list. And this will be MY contest. Therefore, MY decision will be final.
