The first event of the 2023-24 Prime Time Wrestling season is coming up early next month.
The second annual Primetime tournament will be held on November 3rd and 4th in the Roll-A-Dome, a larger venue than the House of Ancestors where the first incarnation of the event was held last year.
“We have eight competitors from all over Canada coming in,” Stuart Brown, one of the Prime Time wrestling organizers, told My PG Now.
Most notable among them is “The Zombie Hunter” Mentallo, who Brown said was most recently featured on AEW (All Elite Wrestling) and was ranked 333rd worldwide in Pro Wrestling Illustrated Magazine’s top 500 worldwide wrestlers.
Brown said he hopes the Roll-A-Dome is “completely packed” for the show.
Inside the larger venue, he said there will be professional lights, sounds, and a concession and a beer garden for fans to enjoy throughout the weekend.
The money raised by the event will be donated to the Northern Crisis Centre in memory of Paul English, a former wrestling student of Brown’s who took his own life during the pandemic lockdown.
In the ring he was known as Franky “Prime Time” Styles, the tournament is named in his memory.
They hope to raise over $4,000 next weekend, which would exceed the total of their last event.
Tickets to the shows are on sale at the Scrapbook Zone on 18th Avenue.
Brown has also recently opened a pro wrestling school in Prince George, which he said is doing “absolutely amazing.”
He said 10 students have enrolled and are wrestling four nights a week, he hopes for some of them to make their professional debuts at another Prime Time Wrestling event in the new year.
