3XWrestling Celebrates Four Years Of Action With Biggest Show In History
Iowa’s Top Wrestling Company Proudly Presents Its 50th Event!
DES MOINES, Iowa – In independent professional wrestling, success is measured simply by being a company that can afford to hold an event each month. Manage it for a year and its considered a solid company. Do it for two years and the company is seen as above average – succeeding beyond the level of most promotions nationwide. If the promotion makes it three years, it cements its status as one of the best in the region.
If it makes it four years, with plans to be in business for the foreseeable future, the promotion is ranked among the top wrestling companies in the United States.
On July 17, Des Moines-owned and operated 3XWrestling (3XW) proudly presents its 4 Year Anniversary Show – the 50th event in company history!
To celebrate four years of playing to packed crowds in central Iowa, 3XW is giving back to new and longtime fans alike by presenting the strongest card in company history.
The best professional wrestlers in the Midwest return to the Des Moines Social Club to compete in the following action-packed matches – including a triple main event and four title defenses!:
– Main Event No. 1 – First Ever 3XW Dog Collar match for the 3XW Heavyweight title: Casanova defends the title against former two-time Heavyweight champion “Delicious” Devin Carter – Casanova’s former partner and best friend. If Carter defeats Casanova, he becomes the first three-time 3XW Heavyweight champion. Dog Collar matches are synonymous in professional wrestling with putting the exclamation point on emotionally violent feuds and fans should expect nothing less from this contest.
– Main Event No. 2 – Ladder match for the 3XW Pure Wrestling championship: “The Rebel” Jeremy Wyatt, the 2008 Missouri Wrestling Revival “Wrestler of the Year”, defends his title against longtime rival Tyler Cook in professional wrestling’s most exhilarating match. Cook is the only wrestler in 3XW to hold a pinfall victory over Jeremy Wyatt dating back to January 2007 – can the mega-popular risk taker climb to the top of the ladder and claim victory over Wyatt once again?
– Main Event No. 3 – Two-out-of-Three Falls attraction for the 3XW Tag Team championship: The Gentleman’s Club (Mark Sterling and Gage Octane with 3XW Commissioner Todd Countryman) defend against former champions The Northstar Express (Darin Corbin and Ryan Cruz), the 2008 Missouri Wrestling Revival “Tag Team of the Year”, in the most important tag team battle in 3XW history. The Northstar Express held the titles for a record 20 months until Octane and Sterling took advantage of Corbin’s freak knee injury last September and won the gold. Now, with Corbin fully healed and after months of back-and-forth verbal attacks, these teams face each other for the first time since that dramatic night in a classic best-of-three falls format.
– 3XW Dream Match: Local legend Brian Ash, the first 3XW Heavyweight champion, returns to action to battle international wrestling star “The Anarchist” Arik Cannon for the first time in what could be a show-stealing encounter.
– Cruiserweight Six-Man Scramble: 3XW Cruiserweight champion “The Rockstar” Jimmy Rockwell faces his toughest challenge yet as he defends the gold against five challengers in a special elimination scramble match. With all six athletes fighting at once, this is bound to be visual chaos. July is the 12th month Rockwell has held the title – will he hold on to beat Casanova’s record 15-month Cruiserweight title reign?
– Heavyweight Contenders Match: The spectacular Kraig Keesaman puts his 11-month winning streak on the line against former collegiate football player Maddog McDowell, 3XW’s biggest athlete.
Doors open at 7 p.m. for a 7:30 p.m. start time. The Des Moines Social Club is located at 1408 Locust St. in Des Moines.
Founded in 2005, 3XWrestling, a Des Moines-based organization, has performed in front of thousands of fans across Iowa and been featured on Iowa Public Radio and in publications including Juice and Cityview. 3XW events are held monthly in Des Moines.
3XW and its performers are also heavily involved with charity work – a recent 3XW benefit event in Ottumwa, Iowa featuring one-legged wrestling star Zach Gowen raised over $10,000 to help the family of a young man whose leg was amputated due to his battle with cancer. All proceeds from the event we’re given to the family to offset medical costs, with every wrestler performing on a volunteer basis.
