RWA’s Spectacle to raise funds for Special Olympics

Posted

Renegade Wrestling Alliance will be putting on a show this weekend at the Johnston Indoor Recreation Center as it is set to host another professional charity event with all proceeds going toward the Special Olympics.


The show is entitled Spectacle, and the main event will feature Team David Morales (RI State Rep. District 7) taking on Team Legends. Team Morales will be made up of Eddie Vegas, Coach Will, Danny Atom and Russtache. Team Legends will feature Josh Perez, Wolverine, Danger Boy Alfredo and Thrash.


Other big time matchups will include AJP versus Stephen Lust for the RWA Championship, as well as Tony Goodz versus Channing Thomas; Kellan Thomas versus Devin Blaze; Mike Graca versus Jason Devine; BMT versus Sean Leiter, Nikki Valentine versus Big Juicy, and a tag team match between Hustle & Muscle versus D.C.M.C., among the eight other wrestlers set to perform in the Ocean State Royal Rumble.


The event was headed by New England Pro Wrestling Hall of Famers Wolverine and Danger Boy Alfredo, who are getting back involved in the local wrestling circuit after some time away.
“Me and Wolverine left the wrestling scene a few years ago because they weren’t doing enough shows. Back in the day, a lot of high schools were putting them on but they just stopped, then COVID hit. I thought we were done but Wolverine and his son made a few appearances and they wanted to get back into the swing of things. He called me up and said, ‘You want to get the tights back on and have some fun?’” said Danger Boy Alfredo.
Now, the hall of famers will be entering the ring in their own back yard to put on another show, this time for great cause in the Special Olympics.
Danger Boy Alfredo is thrilled to be back in action and to entertain the Ocean State once again.


“I feel like Tom Brady. I retired for a little bit and then you go back, you see it, and you think, ‘I’ve got to get back into this.’ This is a great event for a great organization in the Special Olympics. It’s been a hell of a ride so far, it’s been a lot of fun.’’


The RWA Spectacle event is set to take place at the Johnston Recreation Center on Sunday, June 25 beginning at 5 p.m. (doors open at 4:30 p.m.) Tickets can be purchased at the door as well as in advance at RWA4ever.com“For us, we are old school and love wrestling, we grew up on it. To have a fundraising event like this, something that is fun and different, we’re very excited about it,” said Henry Fellela, one of the event’s organizers. The community has been great and has always rallied to help raise money for the Special Olympics, the RWA has been great to work with and has helped us along the way. We’re really looking forward to Sunday.”
