‼️CAPTAIN FREEDOM COLLIDES WITH A.T. RUDE IN GRANITE FALLS‼️
The masked man known as “American Muscle” Captain Freedom has burst onto the Minnesota Independent Wrestling scene this summer with an impressive string of matches—and now he’s looking for another win.
On Saturday, August 29, at The Rock: Dining and Entertainment in Granite Falls, Captain Freedom will go one-on-one with A.T. Rude, who has also been turning heads with his performances this summer.
Freedom’s explosive dropkick and incredible power have quickly made him a fan favorite. Rude, on the other hand, has made quite an impression for a very different reason. His arrogance has earned him plenty of enemies—and very few friends.
What will happen when American Muscle collides with A.T. Rude at River Valley Slam?
And that’s not all!
In the main event, MIW Heavyweight Champion “The Vibekeeper” Rylie Jackson puts his championship on the line against the returning VIRK.
Plus, The System takes on James Jeffries in another featured matchup.
🛎️First bell is at 6 p.m.

We’ve been invited to a few communities this summer that make us think, “Why doesn’t every town have this?”

This weekend, it was Granite Falls, MN, and The YES! House.

The YES! House is a project of the nonprofit Department of Public Transformation, where artists are given time and space to paint, play music, make things, try things, and think big .

For us, getting some off-stage, out-of-the-car time together is so valuable. There was plenty of room to spread out, but one person started playing in a bedroom, another wandered in, and eventually this happened.

What an incredible thing Granite Falls has built. Enthusiastic YES! on having more of this, please. Everywhere.
