Beautiful" Bobby Eaton. "Bobby was my mother's favorite wrestler," said Bryant. "I know she would have loved to see Bobby wrestle one more time in person. She will definitely be there with us in spirit Friday night." Eaton will be in attendance to meet fans and present a trophy to the winner of a six man tournament. The eventual victor will be declared the first ever holder of the Sharon Burnside Memorial Cup.
Eaton has competed in professional wrestling for more than 30 years. He is regarded by many as the top tag team wrestler of all time, having held numerous regional tag team championships and the NWA/WCW World Tag Team Championships on three different occasions with three different partners. His most noted tag team partners were "Loverboy" Dennis Condrey and "Sweet" Stan Lane in two variations of the Midnight Express.
The actual tournament itself will feature six of the top performers in the history of WFAC Wrestling. Participants are Scott Fury, X-Caliber, Cody Daniels, Kid Krazzy, Allan Storm and Idol Bane. Fury and Storm have received automatic byes into the semi-final round based on their standing in WFAC. The other four athletes will battle to advance into the semi-finals and eventually the finals.
In addition to winning the tournament, the final man standing will be declared the No. 1 contender to the vacant WFAC Championship and will compete for that title at a future date. "We've always wanted to bring our fans the best and most exciting wrestling around," said Bryant. "We are looking forward to rebuilding a bigger and better than ever WFAC." Tickets for Friday's show are $5 and will be available
at the door.
