Not only are Cowboy Bob Orton and Ron Powers boiling, but Flash Flanagan is angry too.
Flanagan claims he should rightfully be the Classic Wrestling Champion following a controversial duel with titleholder Ricky Cruz at the Argosy Casino last Saturday. Flanagan actually pinned Cruz and was handed the Classic title belt. But then referee Mike Crase discovered that Flash had used a pair of brass knucks to kayo the champion. So Crase reversed the decision and disqualified Flanagan (who took a shot from Cruz when Ricky got the knucks).
Now Flanagan maintains he is being pushed out of the main event at the East Carondelet Community Center this Saturday, May 18, when Orton and Powers square off. Although Flash understands the bad feelings between Orton and Powers, he says he was signed to be in the main event this Saturday.
According to Flanagan, promoter Herb Simmons is playing games, manipulating the title, and protecting certain wrestlers. Flash has vowed to make his presence known this Saturday in East Carondelet.
In addition, Travis Cook is on a rampage and intends to make a major statement regarding Simmons, the Classic title and Travis’ superstar Ironman Ken Kasa.

Ron Powers has added another victim to his list of those battered by Powers’ tactics in the ring.
Bull Schmitt has been knocked out of action thanks to what Powers did to Bull during their donnybrook at the Argosy Casino last Saturday. Schmitt is on crutches thanks to a knee injury thanks to a kick by Powers, but he also suffered a separated shoulder when Powers whacked Bull with a ringside table.
This comes on top of Powers smashing special referee Cowboy Bob Orton with a chair!
SICW Promoter Herb Simmons, after Orton demanded that Bob get a chance for revenge on Powers, had hoped to put together a tag team affair for his card this Saturday, May 18, at the East Carondelet Community Center. But Herb also knew that Schmitt was in tremendous pain after his battle with Powers.
Now the results are in. Schmitt is out, perhaps for a long time. And Orton is even more enraged.
Therefore, Simmons has confirmed this showdown for Saturday night in East Carondelet — Ron Powers versus Cowboy Bob Orton.
This is the SICW card to honor the 54th anniversary of “Wrestling at the Chase.” In addition to a blockbuster lineup, making a special appearance will be St. Louis favorite HACKSAW BUTCH REED.
