Indy Wrestle Line 5/20 Report

Hello everyone and welcome to your Sunday update on the Indy Wrestle Line, I am the weekend warrior Randy Klemme.

Well hopefully you had a chance over the last 12 hours or so to call the Indy Wrestle Line here on option number one and catch my interview with Big Red, the wrestling preacher. A lot of people do not know Red but he is a fascinating person with a great story over his 28 years of a pro wrestling career. Big Red is a very spiritual and uplifting person to be around and from my personal view is a mentor and someone that I look up to in this business as I got my start, training in the basement of his church on the near eastside of Indianapolis. If you would like to contact Big Red you can e-mail him at faith70147@sbcglobal.net


On this Sunday, we would like to take a moment and give a couple of birthday shoutouts for the coming week. EWF star Just Justin celebrates a birthday on Wednesday of this week and WCWO’s Stu Early will be having a birthday on Thursday. So the Indy Wrestle Line sends out birthday wishes to both of them.

The Indy Wrestle Line would also like to congratulate Guy Lombardo and his wife Casey on the birth of a baby boy, named Travis recently. Guy is co-owner of NWA-Indiana.

There are a couple of shows going on today that we want to make mention…

Crossroad Championship Wrestling will be in action at the West Terre Haute Community Center, at 127 West Johnson Avenue in Terre Haute, Indiana. There will be 6 big matches including a ladies match this evening. Doors open at 6:30pm, belltime is at 7 and tickets are $10 at the door.

Also today, Absolute Intense Wrestling is having a big show at Mulberry in the Flatts, 2316 Mulberry in Cleveland, Ohio. On the card , Jake “The Snake“ Roberts takes on Steve Corino plus many more matches. There are various ticket prices from $25 for front row VIP seats to $12 for general admission. For all of the information on the show you can go to the AIW website at aiwrestling.com…

Also this coming Friday, Underground Championship Wrestling will have a show at Steve’s Gym, at 916 N Michigan Avenue in Elkhart, Indiana. On the card you will see Indy Star Josh Abercrombie and also a first round match in the UCW Tag Team Title Tournament. Ticket Prices are $10 for Adults, $5 for Kids ages 6-12, Kids 5 and under FREE!. Doors Open 6:30 and Bell Time is at 7PM…

Did want to pass a note along from IWA MidSouth Wrestling as they are having a giant merchandise sale over the next month to raise some much needed cash to pay off a judgement handed down by a southern Indiana judge recently. The judge ruled that the owners have to pay for a damaged floor at the Oolitic, Indiana Community Center as the result of a 2004 show there. Apparently only a small area was damaged, however the judge ruled in favor of the community center and town to have IWA MidSouth pay for refinishing the entire floor. You can go to their website at IWAMidSouthwrestling.com to find out more about the sale. I believe they have almost everything on sale right now including all of their DVD’s and T-Shirts.
