'XICW Bodyslams Childhood Cancer' To Benefit Macomb County Boy

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, MI — When you’re fighting cancer, you’ve got to go all in. And for Xtreme Intense Championship Wrestling, July 30 is the day its athletes go all in to help a Macomb Township boy give cancer a pile driver.

The Imperial House in Clinton Township will host “XICW Bodyslams Childhood Cancer” to help Noah Gochanour, 10, of Sterling Heights, and his family pay for medical expenses. All proceeds will go to the family. The Imperial House is located at 34701 Groesbeck Highway.

XICW promoter Malcolm Monroe Jr., known in the ring as The DBA, said he met Gochanour at a Comedy 4 Cancer fundraiser organized by Warren resident JD Marshall.

“He started coming to the XICW a little while after that, and then last month I just noticed how much fun he was having,” Monroe said. “I just thought about his parents. If I was in their situation, how would I feel? I put myself in their shoes. I thought about how much fun he was having and said, ‘I’m just going to do a weekend all about Noah.’”
