Their upcoming arena show, Chapter 76: Hello Wembley!, will be the biggest independent UK wrestling show in 30 years and is a testament to the resurgence of quality and popularity of independent wrestling in past years, spearheaded by promotions such as PROGRESS.
Wembley Warm Up
The Saturday is loaded with different events for fans to enjoy beginning with the debut of the recently announced, and wonderfully named, Never Mind The Wristlocks.
Never Mind The Wristlocks is described as: “A brand new comedy panel game featuring host Kieron Liley, regular team captain – and winner of 2018’s So You Think You’re Funny competition – Danny Garnell, plus special guests TK Cooper, Spike Trivet, Jack Sexsmith, Pastor William Eaver and The O.J.M.O.”
Kieron Liley was one half of the team behind Hackney based promotion, UnProfessional Wrestling.
Following the game show shenanigans will be a live recording of the popular podcast, Tuesday Night Jaw. Hosted by Jim Smallman, they promise “nonsense, wrestling chat, stupidity and tangents.”
Rounding out the evening will be a stand-up show based on Jim Smallman’s recent book, entitled I’m Sorry, I Love You.
Day passes are priced at £20, with individual shows going for £7.50 each.
Tickets are available now, and the event itself will take place out of The Phoenix, London.
