Wrestling Gives Back

Support this good cause!

Back in January, my friends Adam and Aaron lost their home in a fire.  I met Adam and Aaron through wrestling.  We all work together with Pro Wrestling Collision and are co hosts on From the Rafters Radio.  Both have also written blogs for My 1-2-3 Cents.

As they each try to rebuild their lives, the cast and crew of Pro Wrestling Collision is helping out.  This Saturday, (April 20) there is a benefit show for Adam and Aaron.  Chaos Pro Wrestling out of Metropolis is teaming up with us for the benefit.  Bell time is 2 p.m. at the Carbondale Civic Center.

Collision champion Heath Hatton will defend his title against his best friend Shane Rich, in what I think we be a classic confrontation.  The two fan favorites will no doubt put on one helluva show and the fans who come out for this one will walk away the winners.

CPW's champion Ty Blade will take on Shane Smalls.  I have not yet seen a CPW show, but many of their wrestlers have had matches on Collision, so I'm looking forward to seeing this match.  I think it's great that a cooperation between two local indy companies exists.

Other matches planned for Saturday include the wildly popular Collision tag team champions Brandon Espinosa and Ace Hawkins defending against King Entertainment.  The No Limits Title will be on the line in a triple threat match that features champ Joey O'Riley taking on his buddy Jay Spade and the always obnoxious Zakk Sawyer (sorry Zakk).

Again, bell time is 2 p.m. Saturday.  For more details on the show, head to Pro Wrestling Collision or Chaos Pro Wrestling's websites.  It's all for a good cause, helping two great guys get a new start after losing almost everything in a fire.  And be sure to come back a week later when Collision returns to the Boys and Girls Club of Carbondale at 7 p.m.
