Brian Knobs introduces Lance Chafin

     Brain Knobs of WWE's Nasty Boys made a guest appearance at a Kansas Championship Wrestling event at The Factory Music Outlet in Salina, Kansas on Saturday evening.  Knobs signed autographs throughout the evening and posed for pictures in the ring with fans during intermission. He introduced Lance Chafin, who wrestles for KCW.   Chafin has been signed to a wrestling developmental deal with Florida Championship Wrestling, after he tried out earlier this year.

KCW Wrestler, Angel and a fan exchange words

     The night consisted of 5 matches featuring a variety of KCW all stars.  All the matches were exciting, full of non-stop action and lots of fun to watch.  The main event featured Angel & Big Dogg.   A rough and tumble match full of power and precision wrestling moves.  During the match, one of the fans sitting at the bar began to heckle Angel, who came out of the ring, got in the guy's face and a shouting match took place between the two of them, much to the delight of the fans.  Angel heckled and harassed fans, camera people, the ring announcer, and anyone else who crossed his path.

    The highlight of the evening was a triple tag team event which featured the Midwest Marvels, The Interplanetary Alliance and the team of Chaos & Lunatic Lennie.   Chaos and Lunatic Lennie stole the show.  Both guys are big, tall and muscular.  There was a little boy of about three or four years of age on the front row who had been yelling, screaming, and throwing his hands in the air throughout the evening.  When Chaos came out of the ring he towered over the tot, who just sat up straighter, looked him in the eye and didn't back down.  It was a great moment.

    The ring announcer for the evening was Salina native, JD Rudd from KSN News.   After the event was over for the evening, the wrestlers came out and milled around talking to the fans, signing autographs and taking pictures.  Several fans got into the ring to check it out and take additional pictures.  This event was very hands on and fan friendly.

     The KCW show on Saturday night was part of an extended event that began on Thursday afternoon with an autograph signing at Hooters in Wichita.  A wrestling seminar was held over the course of three days: Friday, Saturday and Sunday, where Knobs taught wrestling moves to those who had signed up for the seminar.  Then on Sunday afternoon everyone; fans and wrestlers alike, were invited to Twin Peaks in Wichita to view WWE's Summer Slam, spend time with the KCW wrestlers and with Knobs.
