3XWrestling Television Tapings Set for Des Moines, Ottumwa
Historic 60-Minute No Disqualification Ironman Match Headlines Big Weekend
DES MOINES, Iowa – The all-star’s of Midwest pro wrestling will be in action once again as 3XWrestling (3XW) holds two huge events the final weekend of March.
3XW presents The Final Countdown 2 at the Baratta’s@Forte Center in Des Moines on Friday, March 30. 3XW will then continue its live event tour at the National Guard Armory in Ottumwa, Iowa on Saturday, March 31.
Both events will be filmed for future airing on 3XW’s new weekly television program on Iowa CW Network affiliates. 3XW’s half-hour TV show airs Saturday at 6 p.m. on KWKB (eastern Iowa) and 1:30 a.m. Monday on KCWI (central Iowa).
The main event of the Des Moines event features the most-anticipated rematch in 3XW history – 3XW Heavyweight champion “The Ironman” Mark Sterling will defend the title against top rival “The Rebel” Jeremy Wyatt in a 60-minute No Disqualification Ironman match.
These two previously battled in an Ironman match that lasted an astounding 75 minutes at 3XW’s Divide & Conquer in January 2011; that encounter won multiple “Match of the Year” awards and is widely regarded as the greatest match in 3XW history.
The Ottumwa event will be headlined by the winner of a battle royal earlier in the evening facing either Sterling or Wyatt for the 3XW Heavyweight championship.
This will be the first 3XWrestling event in Ottumwa in over three years.
