Two Legends Join Forces For Local Disaster Relief; "Oklahoma Legend" Returns For One Night Only

Two Legends Join Forces For Local Disaster Relief; "Oklahoma Legend" Returns For One Night Only

Posted: May 21st 2008 By: CMBurnham

With the recent tornados in Northeastern Oklahoma leaving thousand's homeless, two legends have decided to join forces to raise money for the American Red Cross Local Disaster Relief? program. Cain's Ballroom and the National Wrestling Alliance are coming together on Friday, June 20th for one night of great professional wrestling and special guests to be announced.

Cain's Ballroom, which dates back to the 1930's, is a Tulsa landmark hosting such legends as Bob Wills to The Sex Pistols. The National Wrestling Alliance is the oldest sports entertainment brand with year being it's 60th anniversary. NWA Oklahoma will be hosting the show with the promotions Champions and is one of the many promotions affiliated with the NWA brand which has had Champions dating back to ?The American Dream? Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair and local legend ?Cowboy? Bill Watts. 100% of the doors will be donated to the Red Cross for local disaster relief as well as the money raised during a raffle/auction of items being donated from local business as well as some notable celebrities to be announced.

The first match being announced for this great evening will reunite Hate, LLC, a group of individuals who tried to bring down the regional NWA promotion in 2007. This time we will see former members facing one another. It's the match NWA fans never got to see, as ?The Oklahoma Legend? Rocco Valentino will step out of retirement for one night only with manager Charming Charles to face former HATE member Slam Shady, who at the time of this press release is the current NWA Oklahoma Champion. Shady will have a ?special surprise? guest in his corner the night of June 20th. Also announced for this benefit show is Tim Rockwell, ?The Broken Arrow Bad Boy? Justin Lee, the original voice of NWA Oklahoma Rick Vyper with others to be announced soon.

Tickets prices are $10.00 for Ringside Gold (first 3 rows), Ringside $7.00; General Admission $5.00, Kids 10 and under GA $3.00.
