Worthing's St Paul's Centre will be transformed into a spectacular wrestling arena for the first time next week.

As exclusively revealed in the Herald & Gazette, a unique ‘premier’ tie-up will see leading UK grappling matchmakers Premier Promotions, whose shows thrilled fans at the Worthing Assembly Hall for 23 years, move to the venue known as the town’s premier community hub.

Among the big names appearing on the debut show on Thursday (October 26) will be former American TNA superstars Doug Williams and Mark Haskins, two of the biggest performers on the European stage who have wrestled all over the world, including the United States and Japan.

Promoter John Freemantle believes the switch to St Paul’s will herald a new era for wrestling in Worthing and is expecting a sell-out crowd for the opening half-term show that will feature the annual knockout tournament for the Sussex Ford Breakers Worthing Trophy, plus tag-team action.
