An independent wrestling show can sometimes be a tough sell without having either a "name" appear on the card from a national promotion or a great main event draw. Fortunately the newly formed WrestleForce promotion based out of Columbia, SC is providing both this Saturday, April 21 at The Loose Cockaboose sports bar and grill.
Although the backing force of burgeoning promotion wishes to remain anonymous, Jon Malus is very vocal about the presentation WrestleForce has in store for the Columbia wrestling fans.
"The overall reception was that Fall Brawl was a success. And that it was going to be a challenge to make Spring Fling just as appealing as Fall Brawl was," Malus said recently. Indeed, the Fall Brawl show that The Cockaboose showcased in October of last year was as good an independent wrestling show as any that has been performed in this state. The main draw of the show was a Battle Bowl style tag team tournament that would lead into a late night battle royal between the winners of each tag team match.
Spring Fling, however, is being built around not only an eight man tournament to crown the first ever WrestleForce Champion but also a War Games style tag match within the confines of a steel cage. On one side, "The Insane Lumberjack" Timer leads Jay Batista, Salem Sinner Sixx, and former ECW star CW Anderson against "The Juggernaut" Malus with WCW stars (and former Flock members) Raven and Lodi along with former ECW star Axl Rotten.
But plenty of other independent stars will be appearing at the event as well including another former Raven's Flock member, Sick Boy, as well as Michael Frehley, Hoss Hagood (who was the winner of the Fall Brawl event last year), BJ Hancock, Jesse Windham, and many more.
The tournament to crown the first ever WrestleForce Champion includes the likes of recent Resistance Pro Wrestling signees John Skyler and Steven Walters as well as Chase Stevens, Zack Salvation, Vordell Walker, Shane Williams, Caleb Konley, and a replacement to be named later for the injured Aden Chambers.
Of course, never forget the quintessential statement regarding a wrestling show: Card is always subject to change.
Spring Fling will begin at 3pm with a meet and greet with the wrestlers competing at the event at The Loose Cockaboose located at 936 S. Stadium Rd., Columbia, SC, 29201. Bell time for the event will be at 4:15pm. Advance tickets are currently on sale at Kelly's Deli & Pub and The Cockaboose for $5. Tickets purchased the day of the show will be $7.
Also scheduled to appear after the wrestling has finished are local bands Space Coke and Mommy's Little Monsters.
Again, if Fall Brawl is any indication, Spring Fling, under the banner of WrestleForce will be not only a fun wrestling show to attend but a great getaway on a Saturday afternoon in Columbia, SC.
