Hammerlock Pure Wrestling is Coming Back to the Elgin County Railway Museum The story of good vs evil is as old as time itself. Movies, books, and theatre all portray the struggle and give us a hero to root for. This is why so many people love professional wrestling with all its pageantry; it is just another way to tell the story of the good guy vs. the bad; face vs. heel; Hogan vs. Andre. Local promoters, Hammerlock Pure Wrestling are excited to bring their live show here to the Elgin County Railway Museum (225 Wellington St., St. Thomas) on Saturday, August 12th. I spoke with Shawn Bates, Ring Announcer for Hammerlock Pure Wrestling, about the promotion and the upcoming show. “I’ve been a wrestling fan since September 1986, when I first saw ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage on TV dropping his signature flying elbow drop. Hammerlock Pure Wrestling prides itself on being an old-school promotion. We have a more athletic-based style that is more of a competition than an exhibition of moves,” says Shawn. Thanks to the great audience Hammerlock Pure Wrestling had back in June, they are excited to be back at the Railway Museum. “The fans and the talent alike were impressed with the unique environment the Railways Museum has to offer; we didn’t want to wait another year to return!” The card highlights include local fan favourite, Cody Deaner who has dropped the gauntlet and issued an open challenge to anyone on the roster. “Tag team, Books & Looks will face the roughshod team of The Drifters. Miley will be defending her Women’s Championship belt against Beaa Moss. Tyler
Tirva returns to face Vikram Parashar (The Punjabi Prodigy) and Chilly Brown looks for revenge on his former partner, Bryce Hansen.” It promises to be an exciting night filled with lots of great stories and amazing athleticism. Will Chilly get his revenge? Will Miley retain her belt? Who will pick up the gauntlet and face Cody Deaner? You must come to check out the show on August 12th to find out! Tickets are $25. Kids seven and under free with the purchase of each general admission ticket, available at www.eventbrite.ca, or at Caps Off Brewing Co. (168 Curtis St., St. Thomas). Doors open at 6:00 pm, and first bell is at 7:00.
"My father, Dr. Stan Hagerman, was a gifted physician whose first love was medicine. Leave a Gift in Your Will make a lasting local impact He came to St. Thomas in 1959 and enjoyed a rewarding career at St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital (STEGH). He met countless diagnostic challenges and made a difference in his patients’ lives. His vast medical knowledge and superb observation skills ensured he would be respected and remembered long after his death in 2003. At the end of my father’s life, he received the same excellent care from his Physicians and the hospital staff. I have also needed medical care and experienced first-hand the kindness, compassion, and expertise of our healthcare teams at STEGH. I’ve witnessed the hospital grow and change since my father’s career began, with significant service improvements, especially in the Emergency Department. I am proud to continue my father’s legacy by leaving a gift in my Will to support patient care excellence at STEGH." -Kathy Hagerman
