CWA Reunion Show is Cancelled....

Just to confirm what's been posted over at wrestlingnewscenter.com, I did receive a call from promoter Rodney Grimes today and the CWA Reunion show on June 20 has been canceled. Reason being, first the American Legion after taking his deposit money then turned around and said he couldn't run wrestling there again due to "liability issues", so he looked into moving it to the Crossroads Arena. After promising to "give him a good deal" they wanted an ridiculous amount of money to rent the building, as well as all sort of other added expenses that made it completely unfeasible to move forward with the show. I'm disappointed as I was really looking forward to the show but totally understand Rodney's reasons for canceling. Listen for Rodney on a future edition of Cheap Heat Radio where we'll talk about the history of CWA in Corinth and some of the big angles and stars that passed through there over the years.
