On Sunday, Sept. 7, The Crown Complex will play host to a night of
pro wrestling when the stars of Total Non-Stop
Action's Impact Wrestling World Tour (TNA) come
to town for a night of live entertainment. Fans will
see many wrestlers like North Carolina's own, Jeff
Hardy and Matt Hardy. Also scheduled to appear
are; Eric Young, Mr. Anderson, Ethan Carter III,
"The Cowboy" James Storm, X-Division Champ
Samoa Joe, Gunner, Magnus, Knockouts Champ
Gail Kim and many others. TNA is sponsoring
this one-night-only-event in conjunction with the
Cumberland County Fair.
TNA will also include entry into the "Fist
Pumpin' Pre-Show Party" with every ticket. The
party is hosted by TNA President Dixie Carter's
Chief of Staff, Rockstar Spud, and begins when the
doors open one hour before the opening bell. The
party will allow fans the opportunity to meet the
wrestlers, get autographs and take pictures with
the athletes while wrestler DJ Z plays popular
music to add to the party mood.
One of the biggest names to appear on the card
will be Jeff Hardy. Hardy is a world-renowned
professional wrestler who was born and raised in
Cameron, N.C. Jeff and his brother Matt make up
one of the most popular tag teams of all time, the
Hardy Boyz. After making their debut in the World
Wrestling Federation in 1999, Jeff and Matt would
go on to win the Tag Team Titles a total of seven
times and become one of the promotions biggest
box office draws.
After a successful run as a tag team competitor, Jeff also gave being
a singles wrestler a shot. His greatest success
as a singles competitor came in 2009, during
his second run with the WWE, when he became
the World Heavyweight Champion. The same
championship won and held by the likes of Ric
Flair and Hulk Hogan.
Jeff Hardy now calls TNA Impact wrestling home
saying, "I have a dream job right now, TNA has been
great… I can go hard then I have plenty of time to
come home and heal. It's not overdoing it."
During his time with TNA he has held its World
Heavyweight Title three times.
He expressed excitement about TNA coming to
North Carolina to put on a show in Fayetteville, "It's
always good to return to Fayetteville… Every time
we are back in Fayetteville it is always cool to tear
the house down..."
The night is billed by TNA as a night of "Fist
Pumpin' Family Fun" that Hardy says is, "well worth
the money spent."
He went on to say," We have a crew that works
extremely hard. It has been a consistently good,
solid show. To witness it live and in person, there is
nothing else like it. As far as being a pro wrestling
fan and loving the art of pro
wrestling, it is the best out there as
far as I am concerned."
