For the third consecutive year, pro wrestling comes to Cherokee Street from 2 P.M. until the early evening with outdoor matches.  Grab a cerveza and enjoy this free event featuring Dynamo Pro competitors.

Later that evening, the monthly main course at the Stratford Bar & Grill boasts of an anticipated MWR Missouri Championship match.

Dynamo Pro Wrestling returns to the Douglas Club (former Knights of Columbus) in Wood River on Mar. 26.  The six-man tag main event features Eric Allen in his final match.

Allen was a headliner at MECW until its closure in 2012.

The South Broadway Athletic Club’s resident wrestling promotion presents a loaded card on March 12… and that’s after only three of the matches are known.

Gary Jackson defends his title for the third time against the wildly popular Moondog Rover.  Rover hasn’t gotten a shot at the big one in at least five years (and probably much longer than that).  Will this Dog finally have his day?

“Da Bomb” Brian James may have to cling to his own belt for dear life against “The Intelligent Monster” Jake Dirden.  Dirden crosses promotional barriers Saturday, looking for dominance.
