CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- When Anthony Mayweather wasn't combing through villages seeking out enemy troops, he was browsing the Web.

Mayweather was on Amazon and eBay. He wanted Wrestlemania DVDs, TNA flicks and anything else he could have shipped to Iraq.

What he didn't know at the time was that one day some of those DVDs would feature him. Mayweather, better known by his stage name "Crimson," has bounced from one end of the ring to the other, executing a number of wrestling moves, including his signature "Red Sky" and "Red Alert."

Next weekend, Clarksville residents will get a chance to see those moves up close. Mayweather, alongside a number of other wrestlers will kick off the first Tried-N-True Pro Wrestling event in Clarksville on September 6 at the Wilma Rudolph Event Center.
