he United Wrestling Coalition returns to Kelly’s
Bar/Banquet Hall in Wrightstown, New Jersey on March 12 for
our Anniversary Show--That’s right, the UWC is entering its
20th year!! As usual, doors open at 6:30, with a 7:00 p.m.
bell time. Admission is $10.
To celebrate our Anniversary, there will be a special UWC
Legends Six-Man Tag Team Match. We are bringing back six of
the United Wrestling Coalition’s all-time greats to the ring
for one night only!
The first wrestler who agreed to participate in this Legends
Match was none other than “Dirty” Don Montoya! Don Montoya
reigned as UWC Heavyweight Champion for nearly two years
after winning the title in a match that also involved Kyle
Durden, Alex Payne, and Raven. One of the top independent
professional wrestlers, “Dirty” Don Montoya wrestled for the
UWC from 1998 through 2010.
“Sterling” Rick Silver will also be in the Legends Match!
Rick Silver was a UWC mainstay from 1998 through 2000. He
was a frequent tag team partner of Don Montoya, and the two
came close to winning the UWC Tag Team Title in 1999. In
2000 at the Mount Holly National Guard Armory, Rick Silver
defended the UWC Heavyweight Title on behalf of reigning
champion Tommy Force; unfortunately, he lost Force’s
championship to Tundra. Silver returned briefly in 2010 to
manage the team of Dave Patera & Textbook Philly Madison.
His last appearance to date was in 2013 when he wrestled Joe
Rules.
Mark “Cannon” Melaccio too will be in the Legends Six-Man
Tag! Cannon won the UWC Heavyweight Championship in a battle
royal and enjoyed a six-month title reign. He also headlined
the first-ever pro wrestling event held at a Six Flags Theme
Park when the United Wrestling Coalition invaded the North
Star Arena in Jackson, New Jersey. Cannon appeared at
numerous UWC events between 1998 through 2001. In his most
recent appearance, he made a special one-night comeback in
2014 to settle an old score with The Unholy Alliance.
We will announce the remaining three participants in the
weeks leading up to the event. We guarantee this is one
match you do not want to miss!
In addition to the Legends Match, Textbook Philly Madison
will defend the UWC Heavyweight Championship; however, he
has refused to put the title on the line against The
“Thriller” Andd Bivians on March 12. “I already pinned
Bivians fair and square in December,” said Madison. “The
rules are clear: I beat the Number One Contender, so I can
defend my belt against whoever I want!” We don’t know at
this time yet who Philly Madison will wrestle, but it’s
clear he wants no part of Andd Bivians!
“The One” Geoffrey Bravo will defend the UWC United States
Championship against the former titleholder The “Redneck
King of the Jungle” Jimmy Lyon. Geoffrey Bravo defeated Lyon
for the US Championship back in September after winning the
Ron Parks, Sr. Memorial Rumble; and he successfully defended
against Jimmy Lyon in November. Bravo’s manager Preston
Montgomery, Esq. has stated this will be Jimmy Lyon’s last
shot at the US Title: if he fails to win the strap, he goes
to the end of the line and must work his way back up to the
Number One Contender’s spot. Jimmy Lyon is so determined to
regain the title, he requested for this to be the first bout
of the card. Geoffrey Bravo vs. Jimmy Lyon is a main event
anywhere in the country, but on March 12 in Wrightstown,
it’s the opening match!
The Tag Team Title will be up for grabs at Kelly’s
Bar/Banquet Hall as The Short Bus Express is scheduled to
defend against the duo of Big Rig & Nathan Avery. Although
they won the championship in September, Rudo The Heel &
Slayer have not defended the title stateside as of yet. Big
Rig & Nathan Avery were deemed Number One Contenders after a
huge victory over The United Force. It looks like The Short
Bus Express will have their work cut out for them.
The United Wrestling Coalition was deeply saddened to learn
of the passing of “Iron” Mike Sharpe in January. After his
lengthy in-ring career, he opened a wrestling school in
1995, training many students who would go on to be top
wrestlers in the northeast area and UWC in particular, as
well as nationally-known superstars such as Crowbar, The
Wall, Ace Darling, and Simon Dean. In memory of Canada’s
Greatest Athlete, four wrestlers he trained who are on UWC’s
active roster to this day will compete in a special tag team
attraction: Warhead & The Orphan will do battle with members
of The Unholy Alliance. Join us March 12 in Wrightstown as
we remember “Iron” Mike Sharpe.
Also signed to appear March 12 at Kelly’s Bar/Banquet Hall:
The Great Cerenzio, Fredo Majors, Nate Mustang, Spectrum,
Ring Announcer Daisy, and more!
Remember, the UWC Anniversary Show will take place March 12,
2016 at Kelly’s Bar/Banquet Hall, 14 Railroad Avenue,
Wrightstown, NJ 08562. Bell time is 7:00 p.m., and tickets
are $10.
