Get ready for an action-packed, adrenaline-fueled night of professional wrestling in Marshall this November as Show-Me State Wrestling Presents: Eyes on the Frontier.
The two-hour long event is scheduled to take place at the Martin Community Center, located at 1985 S Odell Ave, on Saturday, Nov. 23. The event promises an exciting atmosphere as fans gather to witness intense showdowns and impressive maneuvers.
“Event goers can expect two hours of family friendly entertainment,” Show-Me State Wrestling Co-Owner Gordon Atkins said. “They can expect to run the gamut of emotions. They will boo, they will cheer, it’s a two-hour roller-coaster ride, but the most important thing is that they (will) enjoy the show.”
With a lineup of talented wrestlers, including a contender from Marshall, the evening is set to be a thrilling spectacle of athleticism and entertainment.
“We have talent from all over the state coming in,” Atkins said. “From Kansas City and from St. Louis. We also have a local talent that is from Marshall, Mr. Tobias Storm. He lives right there in Marshall and graduated from Missouri Valley College in 2019.”
Doors will open at 5 p.m. on Saturday, and the matches will kick off at 6 p.m. General admission tickets are priced at $13. You can also opt for the Family Slam Pack, which includes 5 tickets (2 Adults and 3 Kids or 1 Adult and 4 Kids) for $35. Additionally, student tickets with a valid ID are available for $10.
Tickets can be purchased starting October 28 at Dragon Cave LLC, located at 8 East Morgan, or online at https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/show-me-state-wrestling/ssw-eyesonthefrontier.
Show-Me State Wrestling (SSW) is a professional wrestling company based in Jefferson City, Missouri. Founded by Atkins and his partner Jeremy Harrison, the company is committed to delivering high-quality entertainment to its audience. SSW began operations late last year and is currently in its first full year of promoting shows. You can stay updated on their latest events and content by following them on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, as well as by subscribing to the Show-Me State Wrestling YouTube channel.
“We want the readers to know we are local mid-Missourians who know the struggle of what to do in a small town,” Atkins said. “That’s why we are excited to bring entertainment back to the small towns. We pride ourselves on a cheaper ticket (options), (with the) family slam pack for only $35. You can’t go to a movie at that price! So come on out and give Show-Me State Wrestling a try.”
Atkins mentioned that they have received a positive early response to this event and are putting in a lot of effort to secure more events in Marshall.
“We have been in contact with Missouri Valley College and have had preliminary talks about a show next year at the school, so stay tuned.”
