SPENCER, WV (LOOTPRESS) – On Saturday, March 11, pro wrestling fans from all parts of West Virginia will head toward the National Guard Armory in Spencer, WV to watch RT. 33 Wrestling LIVE!, an electrifying live pro wrestling event where a variety of talented and colorful competitors will grapple for glory, grandeur, and of course, gold.
Rt33W LIVE! is a live sports entertainment production hosted by Route 33 Wrestling, an independent wrestling company founded by and under the direction of “The Boss Lady,” Jessi McCumbers.
This event will kick off Route 33 Wrestling’s 2023 season, which will consist of six explosive pro wrestling events between March and December.
“Words cannot adequately express how thrilled I am to bring live pro wrestling back to the Spencer Armory for our fifth year,” said McCumbers. “Events like this are always a massive undertaking, but seeing the excitement on our fans’ faces – especially the younger kids – makes it 100% worth the hard work.”
McCumbers launched Route 33 Wrestling in 2017 after undergoing pro-wrestling training herself, working as her husband’s ringside manager, and filming her friends’ matches at events throughout the Appalachian region.
“I started running events with the goal of improving pro wrestling from the inside out – putting the ‘professional’ back into ‘professional wrestling.’ said McCumbers. “There are a lot of companies out there that don’t treat their wrestlers and crew with respect, or really put enough effort into their events. I think the industry and those in it deserve better than that.”
Route 33 Wrestling isn’t just about pro wrestling, however. In the past, McCumbers has utilized her live pro wrestling events to raise funds for RAIN, the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization, and collect donated school supplies for local school districts. She hopes to host additional fundraisers and drives in the future.
R33W LIVE! on March 11th will feature a variety of competitors and pro wrestling matches, including a tag team championship match, and an appearance by current Rt33W Open Weight Champion “The Mór of Irish Strong Style” Riley Rose.
Founded in 2017 by stuntwoman and actor-combatant Jessi McCumbers, Route 33 Wrestling is a 100% woman-owned and operated pro-wrestling company located in the heart of Spencer, WV.
