Wrestling fans will be in for a treat on Thursday, June 6, when the Florence Freedom host “Wrestling Night” featuring legendary voice/personality Jim Ross, Billy Gunn, Jim Cornette and Marty Jannetty. 

The night includes the Freedom taking on the Windy City Thunderbolts at 6:35 p.m. 

The event falls on a Thursday night, which also means it’s a WEBN Thirsty Thursday presented by Taylor Logistics. Enjoy $1 Miller Lite and Coors Light drafts, $3 Bud Light, Miller Lite and Coors Light aluminum pints, and $4 craft pints. 

Ross headlines the night and will serve as the Freedom’s PA announcer before descending onto the concourse for photos and autographs. Gunn, Cornette and Jannetty will also enhance the night with acts between innings. 

For more information, fans can visit FlorenceFreedom.com/wrestling-night for ticket, autograph and meet ‘n greet information.

The Florence Freedom open the 2019 season at home against the Lake Erie Crushers on Thursday, May 9 at 7:05pm, presented by Lykins Energy Solutions. Fans will want to get here early as Cincinnati baseball stars Wily Mo Pena and Felipe Lopez will compete in a pre-game home run derby.

Danny Graves will also be a part of the festivities as he will be the Freedom’s opening day starting pitcher.  Graves will pitch the 1st inning at a maximum, or until the first batter reaches base.

Since May 9 is a Thirsty Thursday, presented by Miller Lite and Taylor Logistics, fans will get to enjoy $1 domestic drafts of Miller Lite and Coors Light, as well as $3 aluminum pints (Miller, Coors and Bud Light) and $4 craft pints.

The Florence Freedom play all home games at UC Health Stadium, located at 7950 Freedom Way in Florence, KY.
