Powerhouses of Grand Slam Wrestling get ready for a mighty Tipperary showdown
Talbot Hotel Clonmel
Currently on their country-wide tour, Stars of American Wrestling are making a stop in Clonmel.
The powerhouses of Grand Slam Wrestling are getting set to put on an unforgettable show at the Talbot Hotel Clonmel in county Tipperary on Sunday 16th February at 3pm.
An afternoon of WWE style action will include the body slamming heavyweights and the top rope flying Cruiserweight dare-devils.
High risk in ring moves will be on display throughout the schedule of match ups with the Grand Slam Wrestling gladiators delivering back breakers, suplex’s and dropkicks galore!
Amongst the muscle packed superstars and over the top characters set to appear on the night is a local man who has been given a huge opportunity to take on the best inside the wrestling ring.
Clonmel man Scott Connolly has been training and performing as a professional wrestler for a number of years and now his hard work has finally paid off.
As a teenager Scott was in awe of wrestling superstars such as The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and John Cena. Watching these superhero-like characters inspired the Clonmel man to seek out where he could train to perform as a professional wrestler.
Striking lucky, Scott found a professional wrestling training school in the Munster region. Although the physicality of the training was a shock to the system, Scott quickly decided he wanted to pursue this career. He dedicated countless hours and endured rigorous training camps to be physically ready for the high impact nature of this unique art form.
Having performed on shows the length and breadth of the island of Ireland, Scott is motivated now more than ever to put on the performance of a lifetime in front of his hometown Clonmel supporters.
Speaking on the upcoming show Scott stated:
All the hours of training and practice has led me to one of the most exciting moments of my career – getting to perform in front of my hometown crowd. I cannot wait to step through the curtain and hear the roar of the people of Clonmel. I hope to put in my best performance to date and leave it all in the ring. I know the community of Clonmel are fantastic to rally behind their own and I have no doubt on the 16th of February in the Talbot Hotel Clonmel I will have young and old cheering me on.
Also appearing on the night will be the Grand Slam Heavyweight Wrestling Champion - the American Bruiser – Brody Steele. The muscle packed, chain yielding roughhouse provides an intimidating battle for any challenger. The Bruiser recently stated he has only one vision for his debut in Clonmel on February 16th and that is to steamroll any wrestler who gets in his way!
The Grand Slam Wrestling Show has a family friendly theme with action, drama and comedy for young and old to enjoy. After a jam-packed card of exciting matches, fans in attendance who have opted to pick up a Backstage Pass at the merchandise stand will have the opportunity to meet all the wrestlers & collect autographs/pictures.
Tickets for this American Wrestling event are €12 and can be purchased now at the Reception desk of the Talbot Hotel with a limited number of tickets available on the door.
