Christian Pro Wrestling
A church in Martin’s Ferry Ohio has begun to take the sacrifice of body and blood seriously, by starting a Christian professional wrestling organization.
The First United Methodist church has begun wrestling under the banner of Rugged Cross Championship Wrestling (RCCW). As you might have imagined, this is not an attempt to get some guys in the ring with other pro wrestlers like John Cena or the retired Rick Flair. No, not even Disco Inferno!
The organization is focusing on an evangelistic message rather than the profane messages put out but the other professional wrestling organizations. I am not sure how to infuse pile drivers and fake chest smacks with the loving gospel of Jesus Christ, but I know anything is possible through Christ.

Their first debut was August 5th and you can watch some of the raw footage of “First Genesis” directly below. However, I should warn that the video “may” have adult language and behavior. Don’t question it….its a witnessing tactic I am sure!
As you can see, the action is not much different than WWE, WWF, WCW, or any other W organization that is involved in wrestling. However, this would be the B-Class professional wrestling version. Kind of like the Muppets doing a modern version of The Amityville Horror. You are not quite sure what the chaos is that is unfolding before your eyes but for some reason you just can’t look away.
The next debut is going to be August 19th, and I would arrive expecting to be razzle-dazzled by a fantastic display of rippling pectorals and bad acting for Jesus!! Honestly, I don’t know how long the drive is from where I live but I fully plan on attending a show.
IMPORTANT UPDATE

Jokes Aside (rare moment)
I like to poke fun….hence the reason my blog is mostly satire. So remember this moment. I am going to break character for just a minute and tell you that this is actually pretty balls to the wall awesome. You should go see a show if you can and support this program.
RCCW ended its partnership with the company providing the ring but we are re-launching very soon!!!! More info to come!!!!
