On Saturday the 19th, James and his ICW Central West crew will be performing multiple shows throughout the day and evening for the enjoyment of everyone attending the Cowra Show.
''We're incredibly pleased to be back in Cowra this year," Lanham said, who is putting off a second wrist surgery so he can wrestle at the show.
"We weren't going to be back until next year but Cowra Show Society reached out to us and asked us to be part of the show and we're more than happy to do so.''
The promoter also added he's very thankful for the chance the Cowra Show Society has given him and his colleagues to showcase their unique talents in his hometown again.
''This is a real testament to the Cowra Show, Cowra Council and the local community in general that they`re open minded enough to not only give our unique form of sports entertainment a chance, but to really embrace us and let us be a mainstay on the calendar of local events each year," he said.
"[We] will go all out at the Cowra show bringing the same quality, intensity and passion we do to our standalone Western Warfare events."
Wrestlers will be coming from all around the country, including Wagga Wagga's Adrian Axton, Canberra's John Crossfire, Rob Mezzenger and Mike Kelly, and current Australian champion, Cootamundra's Addicus Slain, while local trainee wrestler Joshua "Barry" Blake is also set to take part.
Addition, Bondi referee Nigel Pearson is set to officiate on the day.
All the excitement will be happening behind the grandstand in the betting ring at the Cowra Showgrounds, and will be free with show admission.
After each show wrestlers will be happy to take photos with fans and sign autographs to thank audience members for their support.
