Meet former World Champion Dory Funk JR on May 20, 21 in East Carondelet, IL
We have received words from our friend Herb Simmons that Dory Funk JR, a former World Champion, WWE Hall of Famer and one of the most respected wrestlers of all time will be making his way to St Louis on May 20, 21.
Fans at MMWA-SICW in East Carondelet last night heard first hand from Larry Matysik that Herb Simmons has signed former world champion Dory Funk Jr to be at the next show on Saturday May 21st. If that wasn’t enough, Herb has scheduled a meet and greet the night before on Friday the 20th at the community center. For the price of a ticket the fans will be able to meet the former champion and attend the matches the next night.
Prior to that, lets take a look at the events from last night at East Carondelet that leads into a HUGE show on May 7th.
Danny Boy Hawkins came to the ring for an interview for the television show that airs on Charter cable channel 8 every Sunday at noon. Danny stood in the ring with special guest ring announcer Jeff Vernettie from Sports talk radio 1380. As he held the bell that was used for years at the Kiel Auditorium he began striking it telling the capacity crowd and the television audience that he was going to ring Powers bell the next time he gets him in the ring.
Last night in front of a sell out crowd in East Carondelet CWC Champion Ron Powers defended his title against Chris Hargas. The young and powerful Hargas pulled out all the stops in his opportunity to defeat the monster Powers. Chairs were used while both men battled in and out of the ring. The ref let the action go while the fans were at the edge of their seats and in the end Powers earned the three count and retain the CWC title.
During an interview with the “Great One” Gary Jackson in the ring, powerhouse Kevin X entered the ring to let Jackson know why he should be next in line for Ron Powers CWC Championship Within in minutes these two began to battle and had to be separated by the referees.
These two will battle as the MMWA/SICW goes on the road on May 7th at the Belle- Clair fairgrounds in Belleville. After an absences of over twenty five years from the fairgrounds an all-star card headlined with a Main Event featuring Ron Powers and Sean Vincent battling Danny Boy Hawkings and WWE superstar Cow Boy Bob Orton will be sure to set the stage for an exciting evening. Jackson and Kevin X will be a co- feature to see if they can settle their feud.
PromoterS Herb Simmons and Tony Casta in the past has help keep that tradition alive by bringing in such greats as, Harley Race, Baron Von Raschke, and Rocky Johnson please join them in May to meet “Cowboy” Bob Orton and Dory Funk JR.
Fans do not miss it!!
