DES MOINES, Iowa - Des Moines-based 3XWrestling (3XW) is proud to be the latest - and possibly last - professional wrestling company to perform in historic Veterans Memorial Auditorium.

A destination for professional wrestling matches for over 55 years, Vets Auditorium has featured many of the biggest names in the world of professional wrestling. On Saturday, July 17th, the focus will be on some of the great local talent looking to make their own history in the pro wrestling business.

3XWrestling is once again joining forces with the undefeated Mid Iowa Rollers to take part in the Rollers' final bout of the season at Vets Auditorium on July 17th against the Cedar Rapids Rollergirls. 3XW will present matches prior to the roller derby bout and at halftime.

3XW stars scheduled to perform at Vets include new 3XW Heayvweight champion Rory Fox, Brian Ash, "Delicious" Devin Carter, Casanova, 3XW Commisioner Todd Countryman, Maddog McDowell, "The Laotian Sensation" Ricky Kwong with "The Laotian Liaison" Chad Mylan, "The Canadian Sex Icon" Ryan Slade, "The American Fury" Jon West, Matty Starr, and more!

Founded in 2005, 3XWrestling, a Des Moines-based organization, has performed in front of thousands of fans across Iowa and been featured on KCWI TV, Des Moines Radio Group stations, Iowa Public Radio and in publications including the Des Moines Register, Juice, Cityview and Pro Wrestling Illustrated. 3XW events are typically held the first Friday of each month in Des Moines.

3XWrestling and its performers are also heavily involved with charity work. Our proudest work occurred In February 2009, when one-legged wrestling star Zach Gowen wrestled in 3XW and helped raise over $10,000 to help the family of a young man whose leg was amputated due to his battle with cancer. All proceeds from that event were given to the family to offset medical costs, with every wrestler performing on a volunteer basis.
