Professional Wrestling has always been a form
of family entertainment. This weekend, it will benefit a good
cause and help give an area organization a good boost.
Liberty Championship Wrestling will present a
benefit card for the March of Dimes this Saturday, March 22
at Central Elementary School. The event will be a television
taping.
"We did it last year and raised a lot of money,"
said wrestler and promoter Allen Jarnagin. "It did real well
and it's for a good cause. All of the proceeds we raise at
the gate goes to them. It's something we'd like to do every
year and all of the guys are donating their time for the event."
"The event is a television taping," he said.
"We just started doing television programs. We will be giving
away door prizes, but the cause is to support the March of
Dimes."
The March of Dimes is a leader and pioneer in
the fight to improve the health of babies by preventing birth
defects and infant mortality.
The organization has "an outstanding track record
of success and we are prepared to accomplish even greater
things in the future to solve the problems of prematurity,
birth defects, and low birth weight."
The main event will feature a mixed tag team
event with Stan Lee & Rebecca Lynn vs. Mike Hanson &
Jade.
Other matches include former WCW Superstar Eddie
Golden vs. Josh Cody, a bunkhouse match between Tony Givens
and Wade Adams, a chain match with Allen King vs. Jeff Storm,
a tag team match pitting Eric Darkstorm and Justin Sensation
against Shane Matthew and Chris Vega, and the opening match
featuring Brady Hawks vs. Super Destroyer.
Bell time for the event is 8 p.m. Admission is
$5 for adults, $3 for those who are 12 and under, with those
under 6 getting free admission. The card is subject to change.
"Last year, it was packed," Jarnagin said. "We
are hoping that it's standing room only this time. We want
to pack it in and raise a lot of money for a good time."
