Get ready to ruuuuumble: "The Mississippi Madman" and Chase "The Face" Richards are coming to the Latin American Social Club.
The wrestlers will compete in the "Fighting 4 The Cure" professional wrestling tournament to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
Among the headliners are Tyler Black, who will be appearing on MTV's "Wrestling Society X," and Cameron Cage and Tristan Hayze, who will wrestle "The Face" for the Dark Horse Wrestling Championship.
"It's a promotion from Indiana that's willing to have a championship match at our show," organizer Dean Siemon said.
"The Mississippi Madman" Don Jackson will wrestle Hardcore K.C. The match will be taped by On the Mat Productions, a Chicago cable company that focuses on Midwest wrestlers.
"They'll be producing a DVD later on," Siemon said.
The 19-year-old Siemon, whose father, Harry, died of cancer five years ago, organized the tournament, which is suitable for all ages, and also features live bands, headlined by The Ghost of Eddie Murphy.
"I believe there'll be pre-show wrestling matches. We won't have anything that's exceptionally hard-core," Siemon said.
