By ICW Staff — August 11, 2025

There’s a lot of chatter about Iron City faces showing up on the first post–WrestleUTA 25 card. Rather than argue about rumors, we’ll point you to Rumor Man Stan’s write-up and let you read it straight from the source. wrestleuta.com

Here’s where we stand: we love pro wrestling, full stop. The UTA’s got history worth celebrating, and when our people get the call to mix it up on a big stage, that’s good for the craft and great for the fans. Case in point—their Great Southern Trendkill Tour: Birmingham hits our backyard Friday, August 15 at Boutwell Memorial Auditorium, with UTA vs Iron City flavor all over the card. wrestleuta.com

Highlights? Try these: El Fantasma Oscuro vs. Iron Kid, Velocity Vanguard vs. Jaxson Ryder & Carter Durant vs. Rich Young GRPLRZ, and a champion-vs-champion Graysie Parker vs. Aaron Shaffer main event. (Card subject to change, as always.) wrestleuta.com

From the Office of Eric Dane
“We respect their platform and we’re proud of our locker room. If ICW talent earns time anywhere, take the shot, steal the show, and bring that momentum back home to Birmingham.”
