I wanted to share this with anyone who might be in the area for it or who'd make the trip to see it. PM me with any questions! Thanks! Bill W.
Next Sunday, Wrestlers Alliance Revolution (W.A.R.) is presenting its flagship event, "American Pride", hosted by the Asheville Tourists at McCormick Field stadium in Asheville, NC. The event has 7+ matches on the card and includes a first-of-its-kind, 6 man elimination-style kendo stick match called "Kendo Wars". First bell is slated for 6pm, wrestling tickets do include the 5pm mini-concert from By Morning.
We're excited about the "Day of Sports" being offered plus the Asheville Tourists generosity in hosting us, and wanted to share it with any pro-wrestling fans who might be interested. W.A.R.'s slogan is "Changing The Game", and it's time we did that. "American Pride" is our premiere and our first step in doing just that!
Chance Prophet, Phill Shatter, Kimo, and Shawn Shultz are scheduled, with "The Franchise" Shane Douglas to main event against Hendersonville's "The Lost Son" ChrisifiX.
