Get ready to rumble when pro wrestling returns to Geelong West Town Hall next weekend.
MXW Pro Wrestling will bring all the piledrivers, flying elbows and figure four leglocks one could hope for when the second annual All 4 One event comes to town on Saturday, November 30.
Featuring seven separate events, including the 20-person All 4 One Rumble, the highlight of the evening will be the headline matchup between former WWE superstar Bobby Fish and Aussie star Ritchie Taylor.
MXW owner and promoter Ash Loft said the show was the best opportunity to fly Fish across from the US, given the support Geelong showed for wrestling events.
“(Fish) is known for his hard strikes; his style is more like an MMA style, so a lot of kicks and submissions,” Loft said.
“People see wrestling as fake, but when you see this guy you’ll question if it’s fake or not because he hits that hard.
“We’ve matched him up with the biggest Australian that we have on our roster and who’s a local to Geelong, Ritchie Taylor.
“It’s a big opportunity because Ritch has done it all in Australia. This is a big test, not only for Ritchie Taylor, but for Australian wrestling in general, as he has been one of the benchmarks in Australian wrestling for 10-plus years.”
The night will also see MXW Ascend champion Ace Shack defend his title against long time rival Mike Kaos, while Zane Zodiac will battle his brother Jason Crash, continuing the family feud that began last time they came to Geelong.
Loft encouraged people who had never been to see live wrestling to come along and see what it was all about.
“You can expect a mix of everything; there will be action, drama, comedy,” he said.
“It is more entertainment than it is a sport. I know people have that sour taste in their mouth for wrestling… but you just have to let your guard down and enjoy the night. There’s something for everyone in this show.”
