IT’S OFFICIAL – RON POWERS GETS HIS CRACK AT CLASSIC CHAMPION RICKY CRUZ JUNE 15 IN EAST CARONDELET
Posted by flairwhoooooo on May 21, 2013
More than one year in the making, but Ron Powers finally has his rematch against Ricky Cruz for the Classic Wrestling Championship that Cruz took from Powers. Saturday, June 15 is the date for the showdown at the East Carondelet Community Center.
Adding to the moment is that the original Classic Wrestling Champion, Danny Boy Hawkins, has been named the special referee.
Powers held the title for more than a year after dethroning Danny Boy. Now Cruz has reigned for over a year after upending Powers following a series of wild, controversial battles. The two have clashed once since on short notice at Fairmont City, where both were disqualified and Cruz bloodied Powers by smacking him in the head with a chair.
Powers locked up the title shot last Saturday when he and Flash Flanagan defeated all-time legends Cowboy Bob Orton and Butch Reed when Powers nailed Orton with a diving head butt and got the pin.
The June 15 struggle leaves Flanagan fuming – he wanted the match. And Travis Cook is enraged, because he claims his star Ironman Ken Kasa is the true Classic Champion. Whoever has the title after the June 15 donnybriook will have his hands full.
Plus on June 15, wrestling historian and author Roger Deem will be in East Carondelet to sell and sign his marvelous book THE STRAP, which is a detailed history of the Missouri State Championship which got its start under legendary promoter Sam Muchnick.

I was in East Carondolet last May when Cruz defeated Powers. Glad the rematch waited for me to come back!
