Del McKie Benefit This Saturday Night!!

----An exciting night of wrestling to honor a local man who lost his wife earlier this year is set for Saturday, Oct. 28, at the Rector National Guard Armory. Del McKie, of Kennett, MO, lost his wife Danielle in late May due to child birth complications. The situation left McKie with the task of raising his five children by himself. However, friends of McKie who are involved with the Jared Foundation, a local non-profit organization, and Lethal Attitude Wrestling (LAW) will come together to help a friend in need.

"Del is a close personal friend of mine," said Kelly Warner, a co-founder of both the foundation and wrestling organizations. "Del is a big part of the success of my organizations and his loss was felt by all of his friends. We want to do our part to show him that we care."

----The wrestling event will feature a card mixed with local and regional wrestling stars. The show's main event will be for the LAW Wrestling Heavyweight Championship when Rector native Tony Gunn defends his title against Derrick King, a star from the WLMT-30 television series Memphis Wrestling. The Spellbinder, who is a former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) star, will also be in action as well as Memphis Wrestling's Kevin White, The Posse, James Arnez, Rude, Christian Jacobs and many more.

"We're excited about our Oct. 28 card," said Warner. "This show will feature stars that are very familiar to wrestling fans in Rector. I promise everyone that this will be an event that nobody will ever forget."

----Proceeds from the event will go to McKie and his family. Bell time is scheduled for 8 p.m. at the Rector Armory. Doors are slated to open at 7 p.m. For more information on the event, contact Warner at 573-344-2929
