Let’s get ready to rumble, Victoria!
Prepare yourself to witness bone-crushing action and high-flying maneuvers as a professional wrestling match takes place in Victoria on Friday, June 23rd.
Once again, the Centennial United Church Hall will play host to a thrilling event that promises to deliver an unforgettable night of entertainment for wrestling enthusiasts.
One of the most anticipated matches of the evening features Nanaimo’s own B.J. Laredo, the reigning and defending champion of Vancouver Island Pro Wrestling’s “Anarchy Rules” division.
Laredo, no stranger to the physical demands of the sport, has faced numerous challenges throughout his career. However, his upcoming bout against the formidable veteran Funnybone poses a unique threat that extends beyond his physical well-being.
Funnybone, known as the “Demi-God of Death,” brings 19-years of experience to the ring and is making his first appearance on Vancouver Island.
This clash of titans not only marks Laredo’s first encounter with Funnybone in person but also puts his hard-earned championship on the line.
Determined to prove himself against top talents from across North America, Laredo is fully aware of the craftiness and skill of his opponent and eagerly embraces the challenge that lies ahead.
In another electrifying matchup, the popular tag team duo The Von Slashers, comprised of Cremator and Riea, will join forces to take on the uncouth pairing of Scotty Mac and Drayco.
Scotty Mac, self-proclaimed as the “most decorated wrestler in the history of the Pacific Northwest,” added another accolade to his name during his last visit to the island when he and Drayco claimed the Vancouver Island tag team championships by dethroning Cremator Von Slasher and Danni Deeds.
Seeking vengeance, The Von Slashers are determined to settle the score, leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of redemption.
The action-packed card also features three thrilling one-on-one matches that will leave fans on the edge of their seats.
Jordie Taylor will face off against Evan Ashford, while Dropkick Murphy and Jake Kruger engage in an intense battle for supremacy.
Additionally, Vance Nevada and Mat Maverick will engage in a no-holds-barred contest that promises to showcase their athleticism and determination.
The return of wrestling to Victoria brings an exciting blend of athleticism, showmanship, and larger-than-life personalities to captivate fans of all ages.
This event not only showcases the local talent but also provides a platform to prove that Vancouver Island can hold its own against wrestling’s best free agents from across North America.
So mark your calendars for Friday, June 23rd and prepare to witness a spectacle that will leave you breathless.
With the Nanaimo wrestler B.J. Laredo ready to dance with a demon and a stacked lineup of exhilarating matches, Victoria’s Centennial United Church Hall will undoubtedly become the battleground where legends are made and rivalries are settled.
