NFL ALL-PRO KYLE VANDEN BOSCH AND TNA WRESTLING TEAM UP FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE â~KVB BIRTHDAY BRAWLâ TO BENEFIT THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE
SACK MASTER âKVBâ TO CELEBRATE HIS 30th BIRTHDAY WITH A TNA CHARITY FUNDRAISER FEATURING TNA SUPERSTARS KURT ANGLE, JEFF JARRETT, A.J. STYLES AND MORE AT THE WILDHORSE SALOON IN DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE!
NFL All-Pro defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch has been generous in handing out 33 sacks (and counting) to quarterbacks in his three years as a Tennessee Titan. Now âKVBâ is celebrating his 30th birthday by giving back to the Boys and Girls Club of Middle Tennessee with help from his friends at Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling.
Pro football will meet the world of pro wrestling when TNA brings âThe KVB Birthday Brawl,â a special TNA Live! event, to benefit the KVB SACK Foundation at The Wildhorse Saloon in downtown Nashville on Monday, November 17, starting at 7:30 p.m.
The net proceeds raised from âThe KVB Birthday Brawlâ will go to fund the construction of the first KVB Media Center at the Andrew Jackson Boys and Girls Club in Nashville as part of Vanden Boschâs KVB SACK Foundation. The KVB Media Center will give kids at the facility experience in video and audio recording and editing.
“I am very excited about this event. Next to football, wrestling is one of my biggest passions, said Vanden Bosch. âIâm grateful to TNA Wrestling for teaming with me to raise money for a great cause. Many of my teammates are also excited to participate. I canât think of a better way to celebrate my 30th birthday. Itâs going to be a great night.â
âKyleâs dedication on the field is matched only by his dedication to his foundation and improving Nashville and Middle Tennessee,â TNA President Dixie Carter said. âWeâre thrilled to partner with Kyle to bring a TNA Wrestling event to benefit our hometown. Fans of TNA and the Titans can expect an amazing night that will impact our community for years to come.â
Vanden Bosch made the announcement about the event live Tuesday morning on the Acceptance Insurance âWake Up Zoneâ program on 104.5 WGFX-FM in Nashville. TNA superstar and Nashville native âThe King of the Mountainâ Jeff Jarrett joined KVB and former Titans All-Pro tight end and âWake Up Zoneâ co-host Frank Wycheck to discuss the event.
Both Wycheck and Vanden Bosch are no strangers to TNA. In 2007 Vanden Bosch served as a special enforcer when Wycheck pinned âThe Tennessee Cowboyâ James Storm in a tag-team match at the worldwide pay-per-view event âTNA Slammiversary,â live from the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville.
Wycheck announced Tuesday that he would make his return to the six-sided ring to wrestle at âThe KVB Birthday Brawl.â
Joining KVB, Wycheck and Jarrett will be Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle, âThe Phenomenalâ A.J. Styles, âThe War Machineâ Rhino, Abyss, TNA World Tag Team Champions Beer Money Inc., The Prince Justice Brotherhood, TNA X-Division Champion Sheik Abdul Bashir, Consequences Creed, Cute Kip, âThe Guruâ Sonjay Dutt, ODB, Roxxi, The Beautiful People and many Tennessee Titans (Talent is subject to change.).
Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Saturday, October 4 at www.ticketmaster.com and all Ticketmaster locations. Fans purchasing tickets in the first two rows will also receive a special TNA gift pack and access to a pre-event âmeet and greetâ at a private reception with TNA Superstars and Titans that will include complimentary food and drinks. All VIP floor seats will have access to a post-event autograph session.
The KVB SACK Foundation was formed in 2008 by Tennessee Titans All-Pro Kyle Vanden Bosch in order to “Support and Assist Charities for Kids” in Middle Tennessee. The foundation works closely with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee, among other local charities. For more information, visit www.kvb93.com
