Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWe promised you this one: Titan Championship Wrestling is bringing independent wrestling to Spotswood, New Jersey, for the first time in more than a decade.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe event is called Resurrection, it's this Saturday, and the card includes Joey Janela and JTG, so the town is getting real names in the ring.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTen years without a body slam in Spotswood.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTen years, Hank! I'd bet somebody's folding chair has been waiting that whole time for its moment.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorResurrection is a beautiful name. A town gets a second chance, and a man in sequined trunks lands on a table.
