Online, April 17, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Ronin' Productions LLC and event organizers are pleased to announce today that registration is mounting for the first-ever River City Sports Festival [RCSF] in Mason City, Iowa. Much of the growing interest by amateur athletes and sports enthusiasts in the Iowa area is due to the strong lineup of competitions and tournaments being offered during the three-day event, as well as the headlining show, Rumble in River City, a pro wrestling spectacular.
The River City Sports Festival, sponsored by Accelerated Rehabilitation Centers, is set for May 9 - 11, 2014, for both individual and team competitors. All event information and tournament registration can be found at www.RCSportsFestival.com. The RCSF event will feature archery, basketball, dance, karate, power lifting, roller derby, softball, tennis and wrestling. Competitions will be held at North Iowa Area Community College [NIACC], while Mason City Parks and Recreation will host the softball and tennis tournaments, and the Mohawk Archery Club will host the archery contests.
Former NWA, WWE, WCW and current TNA/Impact superstars will grapple Saturday night, May 10, 2014, when they enter the squared circle at NIACC. Rumble in River City tickets are still free for the first 1,000 competitors who register in advance for RCSF.

The event is being promoted by Ronin' Productions, whose Chairman Kazuo "Sonny" Onoo is a resident of the Mason City, Iowa area and has been searching for this type of event to showcase his hometown for many years.
Onoo said: "This event has the potential to really grow the pool of amateur athletes in the community and make Mason City more of a destination for sports enthusiasts. Our goals are to make this an annual event in the area and to grow the event to a level achieved by other multi-sport events, such as 'The Arnold' and 'Mr. Olympia.'"
"We are so excited by the strong support we are getting from the Mason City community and Iowa area, as well as the celebrities and pro athletes who have committed to being a part of this inaugural event," said Ernest "The Cat" Miller, former WCW wrestling superstar and commissioner of RCSF. "The anticipation of this being a resounding success and an arena for amateur athletes to showcase their passion, skill and talent are incredible."
