Jacked Vegas (aka Matt Gaddor) takes on Natron (aka Nate Miron) during a Mega Slam Revenge! wrestling match. The wrestling program in Grover Hills recently raised money for charity. By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com GROVER HILLS — Beware of the Young Guns. For those who don’t know, the Young Guns is a wrestling cowboy tag team composed of brothers Duke and
Sugar Young — two of the stars of Mega Slam Revenge! OK. Duke and Sugar Young don’t really exist; they’re real names are Mike and Justin Gaddor. But Mega Slam Revenge! is very real. Mega Slam Revenge! is a wrestling program, patterned after television’s
pro wrestling, put on by a group of Moriah men. “We’ve been doing it for the last 10 years,” explained Mike Gaddor. “We were all in drama club in high school and love acting — and we love pro wrestling. It’s just a lot of fun.”
