Real Canadian Wrestling (RCW) brought Friday Night Fights Vol. 3 to Cheers Live in Lloydminster on Aug. 29.
The Edmonton-based promotional organization has been in business since 2003 and has been making frequent stops in the Border City as of late.
“We’ve been running shows from everywhere between B.C. and Manitoba for 23 years. We’re in Edmonton and Calgary every two weeks and Lloydminster, Drumheller and Strathmore once a month. We’re all over,” said RCW owner Steven Ewashuk, whose father started the company.
“Crowd interaction is one of our big things because without the fans we can’t do what we do,” he said. “They pay the tickets, put their hard-earned money out there each month to see us.”
RCW returns to Cheers Live on Sept. 26 for the second annual Charmaine Eggen Memorial Tournament, which supports the Bea Fisher Foundation.
“Charmaine Eggen was a young girl who loved coming to our events,” said Ewashuk. “She passed away, and in honour of her, a portion of ticket sales will be going to the Bea Fisher. We also donate group tickets to them every month.”
RCW used to hold events at Rolling Green Fairways but has found a new home at Cheers Live.
“We’ve got dates booked into next year and love the crowds we get out here,” said Ewashuk, noting some of the organization’s athletes have been signed and appeared on TV. “The more tickets we sell, the bigger names we can bring in.
“You’re going to see the future, now. Most of these guys will be on TV within the next two years.”
Tickets for RCW’s Sept. 26 show in support of the Bea Fisher are available at Cheers Live and Battery World.
