Missouri Wrestling Revival

Ron and Joy welcome Mayor of East Carondolet (and wrestling impresario) Herbert Simmons to the ONstl studios.

SICW promoter Herb Simmons was awarded the 2012 MWR Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions that he has given to pro wrestling in St. Louis throughout his illustrious years of promoting. Simmons continues to be an influential figure in the world of pro wrestling with no signs of stopping. Coming up in May, Simmons is set to bring several of the all-time greats to the St Louis for a night that any true wrestling fan will not want to miss.

Simmons, who is also the Mayor of East Carondelet, has always brought a positive light in the world of pro wrestling. This week Simmons was at the ONstl Studios, to discuss his huge show coming up on May 10th and 11th.

The night will feature St Louis Wrestling greats, WWE Hall of Fame wrestlers and the many of the best young talent in the country. This is a two night event…..

On May 10 and May 11, the Argosy Casino in Alton, Illinois (a suburb north of St. Louis along the Mississippi River) is presenting the Legends of St. Louis Wrestling. On hand will be Harley Race, Baron Von Raschke, Cowboy Bob Orton, Gerry Brisco, Greg Valentine and former Wrestling at the Chase commentator Larry Matysik. On May 10, it will be a meet-and-greet followed by a question and answer period with all of those on hand. Frank Cusumano of KSDK-tv, Channel 5, will be the host.

The next night – May 11 – the legends will be on hand for a Southern Illinois Championship Wrestling card promoted by Herb Simmons. Among the independent stars on hand will be Ron Powers, Ricky Cruz, Bull Schmitt and Flash Flanagan. The intention of the casino is that their relation with Simmons and Matysik will be successful and they will present a show every three or four months perhaps with an appearance of a St. Louis legend.

Be a part of history and pay respects to the stars of the past and support the heroes of today!!
