LOVES PARK, Ill. - Promoters of Old School Wrestling and the World Wrestling Zone have signed agreements to bring their traveling sports entertainment production to the Rockford
Riverhawks Stadium on August 18th, 2012. Being billed as a co-production of Pro Wrestling/Rock Concert, concert and wrestling promoters are assuring the Rockford area fans that they are
going to see "one of the best summer entertainment spectacles in recent years."

The promoters have signed on with former WWE and reality show stars, the Honky Tonk Man and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine. "These are two of the greatest stars in the last 30 years
of wrestling," said Steve Gilgorovic. He continued, "You are talking about two stars that have wrestled all over the world and in front of hundreds of millions of fans, it's a great coup for us and for Rockford."

The Honky Tonk Man, billed as "The greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time", will go for the gold as he has agreed to wrestle the AWA World Heavyweight Champion the Illustrious
Jonnie Stewart in a world title match. "I haven't been in a title match in a long time," said the Honky Tonk Man from his Nashville summer home. He finished, "I am actually excited and
will be flying to Phoenix to train for the next four weeks so that I can become the greatest AWA World champion too!"

In addition, one of the greatest and longest paired Midwest area tag-teams Heaven and Hell a.k.a. the Twin Turbos, will be appearing. These former AWA tag-team champions and current WWZ
tag-team champions will take to the ring against the Manson Brothers as they clash with an old score to settle. The identical brother duo will not fail to give the fans one of the hottest wrestling
matches as they always do on any wrestling card they appear on throughout the country.

Also signed will be the seven foot tall human oddity the Minnesota Nightmare, Mr. Rudy Vallay, a World League Wrestling Ladies Title defense and much more. Before the wrestling action
begins, promoters have secured the Earthen Grave Band with special guest performer violinist Rachel Barton Pine to perform live.
