Andersons Announced for MATW's Chuck Coates Memorial Tournament
CW Anderson and Brock Anderson have been announced as the first team for Mid-Atlantic Territory Wrestling’s inaugural Chuck Coates Memorial Tag Team Tournament.
The tournament is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 1, 2026, at the Augusta Expo Center in Fishersville, Virginia. The Andersons will be managed by Arn Anderson.
Coates, who was trained by Nelson Royal and debuted in 1986, worked for WWF, WCW, South Atlantic Pro Wrestling, World Wrestling Council, Pro Wrestling Federation, New Dimension Wrestling, and OMEGA Championship Wrestling during a career that spanned more than two decades. The event is being held with the approval of Coates’ widow, Cynthia.
A Legends Convention is planned during the day, followed that evening by a 12-team tag team tournament featuring teams from across the country.
Ax and Smash of Demolition were previously announced as special guests, but they will no longer appear because of a scheduling conflict.
Today I learned there’s a Chuck Coates memorial show, so it’s going to be a good day.
