KY Enquirer Article on DWA’s Price Hill, OH Debut

Area children and fans of old-school wrestling may want to think about stopping by the Price Hill Recreation Center on Saturday, June 20.

Dynamic Wrestling Alliance, a professional wrestling outfit based out of Northside, is presenting four main wrestling events and a 15-man, over-the-top battle royal at the center, 959 Hawthorne Ave. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the first match is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m.

Russell Hurley, the president of the wrestling alliance who goes by the name Tony Baritone when he’s in character, said those who attend the event can expect to experience big fun of the old school variety.

“This is not your cable wrestling show,” Hurley said.

“We are more about showcasing the old-school techniques of wrestling. In our league the good guys wear white hats and the bad guys twirl their mustaches.”

“The good guys win with skill and technique, and the bad guys usually win by cheating,” he said.

He said the DWA Galaxy of Stars hope the show in Price Hill will help them with their goal of expanding to more areas of the Tristate.

Members of the organization recently put on a free exhibition at Oyler School, where they also passed out free tickets to the June 20 show to students to get area kids excited about wrestling, Hurley said.

So far, the group has distributed 250 free tickets to area children, and they hope to pass out as many as 400 tickets prior to Saturday’s event, he said.

“We present a clean, family show,” he said. “There’s just not a lot of that around anymore.”

Tickets to the show are $8 for adults, and $6 for center members and children ages 12 and younger.

Hurley said they would like to fill the recreation center with as many people as possible.

“Our show is entertainment with a whole lot of athleticism,” he said.
