SICW fans by now have to be spoiled. For years Herb Simmons have brought in a who’s who of wrestling greats from years past to go along with their roster of talent that have wrestled around the world. Even with their rich history of huge events SICW may have presented their biggest show in their history.
On October 30th the date had been set to have a trunk –n-treat, a hayride and a meet and greet with wrestling greats Dr. D” David Schultz, “The Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart, Jerry “The King” Lawler, Sgt. Slaughter, Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, The Rock ‘N’ Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson), Demolition (Ax & Smash), Cowboy Bob Orton and Haku.
Over 800 fans around the country came early to get their autographs. Elite wrestling historians, photographers and fellow promoters were in the house for such an historic occasion. Not only would the stars of SICW be in action but Jerry Lawler, The Rock ‘N’ Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson), and the man many feel is the baddest man to ever set foot into the ring, Haku challenging SICW Classic Champion Attila Khan for the title.
The wrestling night started off with the National Anthem, an introduction of the legends with Dr. Drew Abbenhaus and Herb Simmons to a rocking crowd.
MWR is proud to present with you, photos of the historic night that cumulated into one of the bloodiest, hardest hitting matches that we ever covered when Attila Khan not only survived but conquered Haku in the main event. The outcome sent shockwaves through the wrestling world and within days the NWA signed Attila to meet the NWA World Champion Trevor Murdoch for the title in St. Louis, Missouri on December 1st.

November of 2018 Cowboy Bob Orton opened his school The Ace Wrestling Academy for all who seek to begin their careers in professional wrestling. Many students began their journey that month, one of which was a 28 year old from St. Louis, Mo Chris Kade. From his very first training day Kade’s work ethic made him a standout among his fellow students. On training days he was the first to show up and the last to leave. He would even attend while recovering from an injury he could be found sitting at ring side taking notes so he wouldn’t miss a day at the Ace Academy. His strong work ethic spanned outside the school by participating as a ring crew member for Southern Illinois Championship Wrestling. Soon his hard work caught the attention of the promoter of SICW Herb Simmons.
With the approval of Bob Orton, Chris Kade made his debut in Southern Illinois Championship Wrestling on March 25th, 2019 in East Carondlete, IL at the East Carondelet Community Center as a participant in a Gauntlet match against The Mongolian Monster Attila Khan. He would recently try his hand in Tag Teaming on July 20th with partner Bobby D. Vs. The Professionals Mauler McDarby and Shawn Santel. Chris Kade is looking forward to making an impact on the Midwest Wrestling scene with ambitions of hitting the road to travel all over the US with his Ace Academy trainers Ricky Cruz and Chris Hargas.
