T&D Staff Report
The Christian Wrestling Association in Orangeburg will make history this weekend.
For the first time in pro wrestling history, Road Warrior Animal and Demolition Ax will team up to face CWA Heavyweight Champion Timber and his tag team partner WWE, NWA and Mid-Atlantic legend Greg “The Hammer” Valentine.
“Animal and Ax teaming together is something that every promoter had tried to do, including Ted Turner and Vince Mcmahon,” said David Garrick, vice president of CWA. “But schedules and contracts seemed to always get in the way. Fortunately, that wasn’t the case for CWA.”
The event takes place Saturday, Dec. 2, at Southern Methodist College in Orangeburg. Doors and concession stand open at 6 p.m. with a 7:30 p.m. bell time.
“Valentine is looking forward to returning to the Carolinas,” Garrick said, “which was the heart of the Mid-Atlantic region.”

Bell time is 8 p.m. Tickets are available at Bamberg Auto Parts (Carquest) and the B-E High School office. Tickets are $10 ringside and $8 for general admission.
