WRESTLING RETURNS TO CHARLOTTE ON A MONDAY NIGHT!

The locker room before the Anderson Brothers Classic Tag Team Tournament

 

George South Jr. & Mr. #1 George South

ABC3 Tournament Champions


Gene and Ole Anderson were one of the greatest tag teams in wrestling history and took tag team wrestling to new levels during their NWA World tag team title reigns in the 1970s.

Bobby Eaton is angry!

Georgia Heavyweight Champion Bobby Eaton is angry over the way he and his son Dillon Eaton were eliminated in the semi-finals of the tournament.

The referee and Bobby were distracted by Ethan Cage as Jimmy Jack Funk Jr. knocked Dillon out cold with the cow bell.

"We want Cage and Funk in a Texas death match in the EWA as soon as possible," Eaton said. "And just like Joe Namath, I am guaranteeing you this: Dillon and I will win that trophy at ABC4!"
