Tommy Ace body slams Blue Rocket during a recent CEW match
Five foot ten inch Eddyville resident Tommy Ace is ready to step back into the ring, at the end of this month, at CEW’s March 26th show. In his 4th year with CEW, Ace will be taking on Supafli at Showdown.
Ace and Evan Jordan, another CEW standout, both attended Eddyville-Blakesburg school together. But as with many like Ace, his friends support his career choices but he has to deal with family wishing he would take a different career path. Ace says he loves performing but it’s tough being away from home.
CEW’s next event is Saturday, March 26th at Nelson Pioneer Farm’s Bradbury Hall. Bradbury Hall is the location and the bell time is 7 p.m.
This event will feature two former WWE wrestlers Zach Gowen and Simon Dean.
Zach Gowen known in the WWE world as “Z” or “Zack Attack” made his first appearance when he was a plant on WWE’s Smackdown. Mr. America gave Gowen an American Flag for being such a loyal fan. Later during the match when Mr. America was being beaten by Roddy Piper and Sean O’Haire, Gowen jumped the barricade and ran to the ring to assist Mr. America. Gowen has made appearances on Smackdown!, and pay-per-views like Judgement Day, No Mercy and Vengeance. During his career, he has either fought along side or against the likes of: Roddy Piper, Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Big Show, Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, and Matt Hardy.
Gowen is also a cancer survivor. At the age of 8, his left leg was amputated just above his knee. Gowen walks with a prosthetic leg but can wrestle with or without it. Most times he wrestles without the assistance of his prosthetic leg, and is known for his signature move “moonsault.” Visit Youtube for some past matches and interviews.
Simon Dean will also be on hand at the March 26th Show. Simon Dean is best known for being a physical fitness guru on WWE’s RAW. There, he appeared to be sponsoring the show while selling his “Simon System” and insulting the crowd for their lack of physical fitness.
Dean moved on to Smackdown, and appearances on pay-per-view such as One Night Stand, The Great American Bash and No Mercy.
