Classic City Wrestling began after the pandemic when tour manager Cole Taylor, who had formerly hosted classic wrestling watch parties at Flicker Theatre & Bar, reached out to wrestler and musician Justin Legend to launch their own wrestling promotion company. The two focus on live wrestling as an art form of equal stature to other arts, combining it with musical guests to make for nights of exciting and theatrical live performances. This installment of Classic City Wrestling will feature Owen Knight defending the Classic City Wrestling Championship against Suge D and MLW World Champion Alex Kane against Sean Legacy. Vincas, a local deathrock and post-punk band, will be providing the music for the evening with performances in between matches. VIP tickets are available to watch the show from the first and second row.
