Thanks to Alex Porta for spotting a flyer on a telephone pool because we ended up spending Friday night at a bingo hall in Brooklyn watching a sold-out “professional” wrestling match. The event was sponsored by Boy Scout Troop #996 and sold hamburgers for $1.50. The air was heavy with greasy smoke, tension and jubliation.

Lucifer Darkside was a vicious winner of one of the first matches.

Lucious Lance pummels his opponent. Because of Lance’s drag queen outfit, the crowd began chanting, “YOU – ARE – GAY!”

The fans getting anxious.

Down for the count.


Timothy Plasma took a beating by Creeper.


Southerner Ron Price was an instant villian wearing a noose like a necktie and a Confederate flag T-shirt.

Tony Blaze, the Puerto Rican favorite, gets locked in a hold by the Southerner.

Boricua Tony Blaze prevails to the excitement of the crowd.

She wasn’t a fan of Ron Prices confederate antics.

The winner of a previous match signs autographs.

AC Smooth and Grindal left their marks.

The final match was between Tiberias and the favorite, a 425 pounder called MadDog. They fought in a steel cage.

Tiberias’s flying antics were not match for MadDog’s size.

MadDog took on two more rogue opponents after defeating Tiberias and still reigned victorious.

And the crowd went wild.
