Benefit Planned for “Headliner” Chris Michaels on Jan. 8

“Headliner” Chris Michaels has always been one of the top wrestlers in the area.  A severe eye injury has left him needing emergency surgery. A detached retina and now his other eye needs laser surgery will most likely put Michaels on the shelf permanently.  On Sunday, January 8, 2012, at the HWA Arena at 121 Old Nashville Highway in LaVergne, Tennessee, the wrestling family of Nashville will be coming together to raise money to help Chris and to pay tribute to the wrestling that he has brought to the area.  In WWE, TNA, WCW, USWA, NWA and OVW, Michaels has brought the best to the ring and to the memories of both fans and wrestlers alike.

Already scheduled to appear: Chase Stevens, Allen Shepard, Wolfie D, Derek Neal, Big Bully Douglas, Josh Crow, Lincoln Mosley, Jeff “The Crippler” Daniels, LT Falk, Bryan Casey, “Impressive” Anthony Wayne and more!  Doors will open at 1:00 p.m. with bell time at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $6 with children under five admitted free.

Benefit Planned for Shane Morton on Feb. 12

When it comes to anyone having a problem, there is always one wrestler that would stand up and help, that wrestler is Shane Morton. Shane has always been one to help when others would turn their back and now he needs our help.  A few weeks ago, Morton was doing what he does best and that is perform in front of fans, but a super kick gone wrong would snap Morton’s ankle and would do permanent damage. Now the man that has helped so many others, needs our help. With his injury, the medical bills are climbing and he needs help with those and more!  On Sunday, February 12, 2012, at the HWA Arena at 121 Old Nashville Highway in LaVergne, Tennessee, wrestling will come together to show Shane the kindness that he has shown us over the years.  There are already at least eight matches scheduled and a battle royal, but there will also be an auction and surprises for the fans.  A $5 donation will be accepted at the door with proceeds going to Shane’s medical bills and expenses while he heals.

Already announced for the card include: Hammerjack, The Wild Boys, Dante, Tim Renesto, Yukon Jack, Jeff “The Crippler” Daniels, Matt Dillenger, Blackjack Brown and more!  For those willing to donate items to the auction, please contact Tim Brown at 931-334-1210.
