Harley Race is considered by many to be the greatest wrestler of all-time. Today his legacy continues in the ring by his son Leland Race. Leland started his career under the disguise of Jason Jones.
Without the pressure of living up to the Race name, Leland was able to capture huge wins around the country including wining the WLW Championship twice while challenging for the NWA title last year against Colt Cabana.
With the inevitable decision that someday Leland would be able to follow in his father’s (Harley’s) footsteps, Race wrestled under the name Jason Jones to disguise who came before him, to prove to the wrestling world, both fans and wrestlers alike, that he was able to stand on his own 2 feet without using the “Race” name to propel him world’s over everyone else. Leland and Harley both decided that it was in the best interest of everyone involved to do this to protect the legacy that Harley himself had cemented.”
Leland was able to capture wins around the world winning the WLW heavyweight championship twice while also challenging for the NWA World’s Heavyweight Championship (the same Championship that Harley was renowned for carrying) until both Harley and Leland both decided that the time was right to announce the truth to the world that he is in fact Harley Race’s son.
Today, Leland is chasing the WLW title and is looking for the top competition around the world. If you are a fan that would like to see the son of Harley Race in action, contact your favorite promotion today to let them know it.
Promoters if you would like to book Leland Race please contact him via the Leland Race Facebook page to book the second generation superstar.
This week I show you how I did my portrait of Steve “Crusher” Casey, and why it’s important that some of these largely forgotten champions are a part of the Champions Collection. Plus! New Art! And! A big announcement sure to make some folks happy!
He’s a three-time WWE champion, a hardcore legend and a member of the WWE Hall of Fame. Now, Mick Foley is unleashing the same trademark blend of wit and wisdom, wildness and warmth that made his books so beloved (five self-penned New York Times best-sellers) into his one-man spoken-word stage show, “Tales From Wrestling Past”. Foley has wowed both crowds and critics alike with his unique stage show – leading “Chortle”, the UK’s most respected comedy source to write “Foley himself is charm personified – eloquent, funny and self-effacing” and the decidedly non-wrestling publication “Broadway Baby” to muse, “if you’re interested at all in wrestling you’ll love it; if you’re not, you’ll like it.” Drawing from his 28 years of travel, Foley finds humor in the unlikeliest of places – the loss of an ear, the dedication” of a porn-star working in a knee-brace, a United States President reciting his wrestling catch-phrase. Foley himself refers to “Tales From Wrestling Past” as “like being in the ring, without getting hurt” – a welcome distinction coming from a man who gave so much, to so many, for so long. Join the Hardcore Legend on his latest journey down life’s highway – an eclectic trip into the surreal world of the days of wrestling past.

And once you get some of their comedy-themed drinks in your system, all those other laughing sardines will become your best friends.
Over these past 14 years, the Cauliflower Alley Club benevolent fund has distributed grants totaling over $40,000 to retired wrestlers, managers, referees and others associated with the wrestling business who have been in need.
Earlier this summer rising wrestling star Jack Gamble had traveled to St Louis to wrestle at the Historic South Broadway Athletic Club, along with a few other wrestlers from the Harley Race Wrestling Academy in separate cars. After being victorious in tag team action with his partner Jon Webb, Gamble traveled back home with his wife Casey , who was sitting in the front of the car, his daughter Rylee, and fellow young WLW student David Schermerhorn.
Life can change in a moment and on this night it was no different. As the were headed home after an exciting night of wrestling tragedy struck. They were hit head on by a drunk driver running from the police.
While, thankfully, David and their daughter Rylee escaped with just some bruises, Jack and his wife were not so lucky, as the two were Life-Flighted to the St John’s Mercy hospital. Thanks to the quality care and love from their family, friends and fans they have been slowly recovering from their injuries. Still, the cost of the medical and home bills have been very high as the two have been unable to work.
During this time many people within both his home and wrestling community have come together to support the family with donations through Paypal, fundraisers and most recently at a Harley Race WLW show in Linn, Missouri.
One of the proud supporters of the Gamblins family was The Cauliflower Alley Club. The CAC is a non-profit fraternal organization, comprising both retired and active professional wrestlers and boxers in North America. The CAC was represented by former CAC Chairman of the Board of Directors, Executive Vice President Karl Lauer who presented the Gamblins with a check out a $1,000.
