Battle Of The Brewery

IWA East Coast returns to the South Charleston Community Center Wednesday April 5 with "Shoots And Ladders," an evening of carnage and high-flying action.

The big match on a loaded card features a rematch, one year to the day, of the classic "drunken ladder match" between El Drunko, the inebriated luchadore, and Sandman, the beer-guzzling ECW legend. Last year these guys stole the show at "Happy Hour Hatred", and their rematch promises to be an alcohol-fueled funny car ride to oblivion.

Another match on the card is garnering international attention. Japanese wrestling legend, and former member of Kai En Tai in the WWF, Dick Togo, challenges IWA East Coast's champion, Chris Hero, in a ladder match with the championship belt at stake.

Fans will also be treated to a "3 Way Hell" match between Mad Man Pondo, Necrobutcher, and Mr. Insanity. Ruckus returns to take on Omega Aaron Draven in what promises to be an exhibition of acrobatic violence. Mickie Knuckles faces Japanese Women's legend Sumie Sakai in a rematch from last fall. Hardcore legend, Ian Rotten, goes up against Bull Pain. The newly-formed team of WarPig and Razorback, known collectively as "Freaks Of Nature,", take on Trik Nasty and JD Escalade.

IF YOU GO: Bell time is 7 p.m. April 5 at the South Charleston Community Center, 601 Jefferson Road. Tickets are $10 and $15. Visit IWA East Coast online for more details.
