The evening’s festivities will include three wrestling matches plus a guest appearance by wrestling legend “Wild Eyed Southern Boy” Tracy Smothers, who has competed all over the world for every major pro wrestling organization including the WWE, WCW, ECW, Smoky Mountain Wrestling and the USWA.

The line-up for the actual wrestling contests will feature the “Second City Saint” Ace Steel, Lucy Mendez, Air Raid, Laynie Luck and Camron Bra’nae. “Superstar” Steve Fender, who competed at last year’s show at the racetrack, returns to defend his RCW Heavyweight Championship against number one contender Kyle Roberts.
