“The Moose” admitted to some soreness afterwards.
“It was a ‘chop-fest’ out there,” he said. “It feels like my chest is on fire.”
It had taken him 13 minutes to dispose of KLD in Saturday night’s main event at Pop’s nightclub in Sauget, Ill. And it was honest work.
His opponent, local favorite “KLD” of Affton, proved worthy and the outcome was in doubt until the end. This was one of those rare pro-wrestling matches in which both combatants fell into the “good guy” category.
There were no cheap shots or foul play. OK, they did scrap outside the ring for a while with the Moose slamming KLD into a portable metal fence that separated spectators from the ring.
