ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) -- Families and individuals looking to beat the post-holiday blues can look no further. Family-friendly Mid-States Wrestling is making its return to town for its third annual Christmas Bash.

Fans can expect to see hometown hero Scott Hansen, who is set to defend his title at the National Guard Armory at 301 N. Woodbine Road. 

Hansen loves being a titleholder and is thrilled to have the opportunity to defend it in his hometown. 

"There's a lot of nerves that come with it. But at the same time, just getting to put on a good show for St. Joe," Hansen said. "With it being my hometown growing up here, and historically, Saint Joe being a significant wrestling town."

Fans can also expect to see other favorites, including Burt Cameron, Austin Mulitalo and more. Cameron said he is thrilled to bring this show back yet again and hopes it will bring wrestling fans of all ages together for a great time. 

"There's a good group of us that are local from the area, and after seeing some of the other sports teams like the Mustangs in town, seeing how much the community gets behind their own, we wanted to bring that in the form of wrestling," Cameron said. "(Wrestling has) a rich history here in St. Joe."

Missouri Heavyweight Champion Austin Lee and "Must C-T-V_ Colton Vaught will be among some of the best wrestlers performing from the Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma area.

The fun takes place at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 27. For tickets and more information on this event, visit mswtickets.square.site.
