Missouri Wrestling Revival

Professional wrestling fans get ready! Former WWE Superstar Chavo Guerrero, Jr. is set to headline the action this Saturday as the Wabash Valley College Student Senate and IWA Productions present professional wrestling action at the WVC Spencer Sports Center in Mt. Carmel.

Jerry the King Lawler was originally scheduled to headline the event, but Student Senate Faculty Sponsor Kyle Peach said Lawler cancelled at the last minute due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict with the WWE.

“We were disappointed that Lawler had to back out, but are excited that we could find such a top-notch superstar as Chavo Guerrero to headline our show,” Peach said.

Tickets are still available by calling (618)262-8641, stopping by the Wabash Valley College Student Services Office, visiting http://www.iwaproductions.com , or by contacting any Student Senate member. Tickets will also be available at the door on Saturday.

“We wanted to make sure we had a unique, fun, and entertaining event that would be suitable for not only students, but all members in the community. It’s an event that hasn’t been in Mt. Carmel in years, and we think everyone will have a great time,” Peach said.

Not only will there be a full slate of wrestling action, but Senate members will also be selling concessions, and a 50/50 drawing will take place. Wrestlers will also be available to sign autographs and offer photo opportunities. The wrestling show will also serve as the Student Senate’s main fundraiser this year. “We do a lot of community service work both on campus and out in the community, and fundraisers like this help make it all possible,” Peach said.

According to Peach, the Student Senate is planning to embark on a beautification project on Market Street in Mt. Carmel before the school year ends next month. “We encourage everyone to come out and have a good time with us on Saturday,” Peach said
