Impressive article, but in the end this seems to be a non-notable event. More than 25 years afterwards, it seems that it hasn't been mentioned in any books, hasn't received attention in newspapers, ... All we have are a few pro-wrestling websites writing at length about it, but such fan sites, even semi-professional ones, are normally not considered sufficient to establish notability. SMW is described as a "minor regional promotion" in the "Historical Dictionary of Wrestling"[1], which doesn't give confidence that a single event from that promotion could be notable barring special circumstances. The "Encyclopedia of Professional Wrestling" doesn't mention the "Volunteer Slam" either.[2] Fram (talk) 13:49, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge I agree this event is not major, but I think it could be merged into SMW Volunteer Slam and be included with the other events. I would suggest the creation of a List of Smoky Mountain Wrestling events similar to List of House of Hardcore events, and include details from all of their events there rather than forking them off into individual articles. - Galatz גאליץ ^{שיחה Talk} 14:05, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to SMW Volunteer Slam. Seems the most logical choice given how little after-the-fact coverage it got. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 04:55, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
