A Recap of TX Stampede's Knuckle Up

DKM's Recap of  NWA Lone Star/TX Stampede's "Knuckle Up"

Saturday, April 14, 2012, I made the one hour trip out to the Balch Springs Recreation Center in Balch Springs, TX to witness NWA Lone Star/TX Stampede Wrestling’s “Knuckle Up” show. Attendance was down but I blame that on the threat of possible severe storm that night. In fact Jason and I waited to the last minute before we decided to believe my weather app that storms wouldn’t arrive till the early morning hours.  In a good Texas tradition, the ring announcer, Travis Baxter, welcomed us to the show and announced the playing of the national anthem.

On May 21, 2011 I went to an NWA Southwest card in Grand Prairie, Texas. Little

did I know at that time it would be the last NWA Southwest card ever and last NWA card in the Fort Worth/Dallas area until last night.

We saw the NWA return in the form of NWA Lone Star as they and TX Stampede Wrestling held “One More Time". I don’t do crowd estimates, but I will say it was a full house with almost every seat taken.

The night started with the playing of the National Anthem (this is Texas) though most people were looking for a flag at first, it was great way to start the night.
