Saskatchewan-based Ringside Wrestling will be bringing back its Holiday Havoc event this December, featuring one of pro wrestling’s most famous match types.
The Holiday Havoc event will feature Ringside’s annual Over the Top Rope Rumble Match, where a new wrestler enters the match every two minutes. Wrestlers are eliminated by being thrown over the top rope and having both feet hit the floor. There will also be a number of matches leading up to the Rumble, featuring primarily local talent from the Prairies. Wrestlers who have appeared on past Ringside Wrestling shows include Screaming Eagle, Joey Vendetta, Cannonball Kelly and the internationally known Bollywood Boyz.
The winner of the Rumble will take on Ringside’s North American Champion Thryllin’ Dylan at the promotion’s New Year’s Showdown event on January 6. Independent wrestling shows such as this, which typically feature up-and-coming wrestlers alongside local legends, have blossomed in recent years, using tools such as live-streaming and social media in addition to time-tested methods like poster printing to bring in local wrestling fans and families. Ringside Wrestling typically holds one show a month with a regular cast of wrestlers and occasional guest stars, building storylines from month to month.
Ringside Wrestling’s Holiday Havoc will take place on the evening of December 2 at Eastview Community Centre in Regina, with advance tickets available at a lower price.
