The home of Southern States Wrestling is closing. The Kingsport National Guard Armory has been home to SSW events since July 1991. Here is a look at the History and what Misty James Thinks of the closing.
The Last event will be Thanksgiving Night. SSW will be the last event of any kind in the Armory. And we will be the first event of any kind at the brand new Kingsport Armory at Mount Caramel Christmas Night.
The move is less than a mile down 11w but crosses over in to the Town of Mount Caramel. Its 2 1/2 times the size of the current Armory and has A/C.
