A theatrical spectacle of slamming bodies and strumming guitars, Classic City Wrestling combines live wrestling in the ring with live music on stage for a distinct twist on the sport. Ghana-influenced group TaxiCab Verses will keep the audience and athletes amped up with live songs in between matches. This month’s lineup includes both new and returning wrestlers from across the Southeast, such as Alex Kane vs. Robert Martyr, Reka Tehaka vs. Rose Gold, Najasism vs. Rico Gonzalez and Austin Towers vs. Sean Legacy. Representing the tag team division, CREEPS, Vanderbilt/Oceans, Midnight Premiere and Nawfside Heroes will take turns in a chaotic four-corner match. CCW reigning champion Owen Knight, who appeared on the cover of Flagpole last November ahead of the inaugural Thanksgiving Classic, will team up with Suge D and Cody Fluffman to take on the No Good Bastards during a six-man elimination tag team war. Reserved ringside seats have already sold out, but general admission standing room tickets are still available.
