Hello everyone!
This is a special post today, because earlier this week i read in the local newspaper that Wrestling is coming to where i live this saturday! lol.
Im planning on buying some ringside tickets today while im off work, so that ill be able to go. Here is some other info -
Universal Championship Wrestling is coming to Palestine.
The UCW “Parade of Champions” show featuring at least 20 wrestling stars will be held Saturday at the Palestine Civic Center.
“This is like the Von Erich heydays when wrestling in Texas was a big thing,” UCW vice president Nolan Gossett. “This is grassroots — bringing the wrestling everybody loves back to the people who would usually have to drive to Dallas or Houston for a show like this.”
Among the wrestlers on the roster are Rick Flair, Ghavo Guerrero, Ryan Genesis, Demolition Ax, Sid Viscious, The Shooter, Mike Sanders, The Spoiler 2000, Jackie Gayda- Haas, Skandor Akbar, Rodney Mack, Jazz, Boss, Simply Luscious and many more.
Some of the wrestlers were formerly connected to other wrestling organizations including ECW, WWE and WCW.
“One thing people will like is these guys give autographs,” Gossett said. “They will have a chance to meet the wrestlers before the event starts and during the intermission.”
The show is expected to run about 2 and a half hours. The show will be taped live by Fox Sports for future airing.
“This is wrestling that is fun to watch,” Gossett said. “Bring the whole family.”
Advance tickets are $12 for adults and $5 for children age 6-12. Children under age 6 will get in free. A limited number of ringside tickets are available for $20. Tickets are available at Cavender’s Boot City, the Palestine Visitors Center, the Palestine Area Chamber of Commerce or online at ucwtv.com
At the door, tickets will be $15 for general admission and $25 for ringside seats.
For more information about the show, call 214-815-0421 or visit ucwtv.com.
Im really hoping that the event isnt sold out of tickets, thats for sure! If im able to get a ticket, ill be sure to take some pics and record some video for sure :)
