Megaslam Wrestling tour coming to Mayo

THE Megaslam Wrestling tour is coming to Castlebar - its first time in Ireland - this November.

Established in 2009, Megaslam Wrestling are Europe’s most prolific wrestling promoters, presenting in excess of 300 live events each year around England, Scotland and the Isle of Man.

An array of talented performers who have performed in world class venues are coming to the Royal Theatre and Events Centre with a two-hour family entertainment spectacular on Sunday, November 27.

Promoters say the first ever tour of Ireland is set to be a smash hit and families can expect to see a plethora of highly entertaining matches, including a Megaslam championship defence by Ricky Regan, heavyweight challenge, tag team Thriller and a surprise main event to be announced on the evening.

“We are all extremely excited to be bringing Megaslam to Ireland for the very first time. The demand for Megaslam in Ireland has been incredible over the last couple of years, but due to tour logistics, it was not possible to bring the show there. However, we saw an opening in November 2022 and we are delighted to be bringing the show to Castlebar as part of our 2022 live tour, which has been selling out across England, Scotland and Isle of Man already this year,” said a tour spokesperson.

“The show appeals to all the family, whether you are a wrestling fan or just looking for an afternoon out like no other with the family.”

Two teams will battle it out during the evening with fans being urged to cheer on their favourites.

For Team Megaslam, there's the Megaslam Machine, Massimo - a muscle bound giant of the ring, the ultimate underdog, Derek, Hugo Harris and some hometown heroes from Ireland.

Opposing them will be Team Nasty members Nathan Bane, a brawling star from Somerset, Ricky Regan, who is currently the champion of Megaslam, and many more.

After the show fans will be invited to stay behind and meet their favourite stars.

Megaslam are urging fans to book in advance as sales for previous events have been extremely high.
