Down for the Count: Seven reasons to watch Dynamo Pro

Since this is my last blog for the semester, I figured I’d change it up a bit. This weekend, Dynamo Pro Wrestling (a local promotion) will take over Pevely, Mo. for the first time.

The company started out as a training facility for aspiring wrestlers, while running shows under the name “Central States Wrestling.” Since its beginnings, Dynamo Pro has evolved and expanded and will begin running shows in Pevely, Mo, as well as returning to Glen Carbon at the venue formerly known as The Game.

The following will be a list of seven reasons why you should take a break from studying (or just get out of Edwardsville!) and witness Dynamo’s first show at The Banquet Center.

1. Road trip:  Everyone enjoys a road trip every now and then. You can’t deny it. And even if you do loathe them with a burning passion, it’s only an hour. So suck it up and head to The Banquet Center. It’s right off the highway!
2. The Ego Express:  K.C. Karrington and “Spoiled” Steven Kennedy haven’t teamed up in months, so making the trek will allow you to witness their return of sorts. Plus, Kennedy is an SIUE Alum. If you won’t go for the wrestling, at least support a former cougar.
3. “The Rebel” Jeremy Wyatt:  Easily one of the best independent stars in Midwest, Wyatt is scheduled to take on Trent Stone. See video for further reasoning:
4. Too much studying is bad for your health:  Yes, I know it’s finals week, but you don’t need to bury yourself in the library or your dorm room the entire weekend. Get out, de-stress and enjoy some quality wrestling. NWA Missouri Champion “Spitfire” Davey Vega will defend his belt against the Central States Wrestling Champion Mark Sterling. What better way to get stress and finals off of your mind than by watching a couple class act, professional and talented wrestlers battle for a prized belt?
5. Money in the Bank:  Tickets for the show are only $10 and $8 in advance. That’s a better bargain than any other form of entertainment on a Saturday night. Head over to Dynamo’s MySpace page for more info on the advance rate.
6. Getting out. Literally:  This show will be held outside at The Banquet Center. Bring a pair of shades, sit back, relax and enjoy the show—and the sunlight.
7. Early start time:  Doors open at 4:00 p.m. and the show starts at 5:00 p.m. With an early start time, you can’t use the say something else is going on! So, stop making excuses. Get a group of friends (heck, you can all chip in for gas if it’s that big of a deal) and make the drive to Pevely. Dynamo is waiting.
