My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 328: 2 is Greater Than 1

March 5, 2016, is the date of the first Stride Pro Wrestling show. The main event that night featured a fatal four-way to crown the first-ever champion. Ax Allwardt beat three others to do just that, Heath Hatton, Tony Flood, and Frank Wyatt.

Now, the company is preparing for the fifth anniversary of that event, and we like to call it Strideiversary. It’s set for Saturday, March 13, at the Stride Building at 1130 N. Divison Street in Carterville.

My 1-2-3 Cents Episode 80: The Ace of Wrestling

Bob & Randy Orton
Randy & Bob Orton

Whether you know him as “Ace” or “Cowboy” Bob Orton is one of the all-time greats of professional wrestling.  The WWE Hall of Famer has had a lengthy career and is still active in the ring. On Saturday, June 4 Orton teams up with Bull Bronson against Dalton Diamond and Cash Bordin at the Stride Pro Wrestling show. Bell time is 6:30 p.m. at CMA in the Illinois Star Centre Mall in Marion.

In this week’s show Kevin chats with Orton about his career (he was on the first live wrestling card I attended in 1984), the evolution of wrestling and his son Randy Orton.

This week’s show is something I’ve wanted to try before, but never had a chance to do.  After the most recent CMA Stride Pro Wrestling show in Marion, Illinois, I joined some of the wrestlers for dinner at Applebee’s.  I put my recorder on the table and captured some of the conversation.

You’ll hear the server checking on our table and the sounds of other customers, but I like how it turned out.  “Farmer” Billy Hills, Sarah Summers, Tony & Alexa Flood and Heath Hatton weigh in on women’s wrestling, intergender matches and Roman Reigns among other things.
