The AWF held its first civic center show on June 14 in Ozark, with over 600 in attendance to see eight matches. The main event was a four-corners tables, ladders and chairs (TLC) tag-team match between Coalition-X (former WWE superstar Road Dogg Jesse James and Jason Hero), Freakshows of Faith (Sinn and Forsaken, accompanied by Hell Kat), Backdraft and Confederate Kid, and Mr. Fantasy (accompanied by Sexy Samantha) and The Assassin (accompanied by the notorious Eddie G). The exciting match was won by Coalition-X. Plans are underway to return to Ozark in August after a considerable number of requests from Ozark-area fans, and other civic center shows are also planned.

The AWF provides quality professional wrestling, providing a mix of modern styles with “old-school southern technical wrestling. Veteran wrestler Larry Land (Luscious Larry), who is in the finals of the AWF TV Title tournament with Confederate Kid, said the talent is the best he ever worked with.

“We surround ourselves with the greatest talent in the southeast”, Land said. “There is not a single guy in the AWF that is not main-event quality. They are directly responsible for our success. I think we are the best because we have the best”.

“The fans throughout the area told us what they want”, said Public Relations Director Jay Felsberg. “They want high-energy, technical matches with storylines they can follow. In our fan poll on our Yahoo fan site, about 64 percent said they want entertaining, technical wrestling”.
