Top wrestling action in Stanmore

Coast wrestler Zac Hayle

Hibiscus Coast wrestling fans have a treat in store at the Stanmore Bay Leisure Centre, with a major show to be held there on Saturday, February 17.

Stanmore Bay-based company Legacy Pro Wrestling is bringing some of the best Kiwi wrestlers to the Coast in its First Light line-up, as well as rising stars.

The first Legacy Wrestling champion will be crowned after a six-pack challenge, which means there are no rules, and the first competitor to gain a pinfall or submission wins. Current NZ Heavyweight champion Spartan, the ‘Big Man’ Jamie Tagataese, Queenstown’s Cool Guy Sky, the ‘Deathmatch Reaper’ Rugged Vic Craig, the ‘Duke of Death’ Horus, as well as a wildcard entry will step into the ring for that main event and organisers are promising fans “a wild spectacle”.

Other action includes the Wrestling Collectibles NZ Championship as Wellington’s Ryan Zero takes on The Scene, AJ Murtagh.

Matty Short will bring his crowd-pleasing style to bear against The Fallen Angel Jackson Graves, in a grudge match after Graves cost Matty the WCNZ championship last August.

Also on the bill are fast-rising stars Bobby Wisheart and the Mask of the Red Death Pariah and, in a tag-team showcase, Antony Khan and his hired muscle, Slim Kaisa, (collectively known as Khan Capital), will look to cement their position in the tag team scene by taking on the beloved Tommy Fusion and Hibiscus Coast local Zac Hayle.

There will also be a special performance from NZ hip-hop icon Paki Dunn.

Legacy Pro Wrestling general manager, Dan Wood, says he hopes to bring more shows to the same venue.
