POWERSLAMS, piledrivers and pins are set to bring hundreds of people to Harwich as a new wrestling event launches.

Wrestling League, which is based in the town, starts next month with a stellar line-up of big name competitors.

The first event, which has been put together by Mark Young, Toby Scott of Get Known be Heard and Cave Demon Productions will take place on November 23 at Kingsway Hall.

Mark, 27, said: “It can be hard to explain without seeing the footage but it is going to be full on entertainment. It is not just going to be wrestling.

“The idea is if this goes well we are going to do six each year – one every two months and every show will have big names from America or Japan. “

Tickets are available online at ringsideworld.co.uk and from Kingsway Hall on Thursdays and Fridays between 11am and 2pm. For more information visit facebook.com/WrestlingLeague.
