AMERICAN-style wrestling is coming to the Holme Valley.

Fans of the flamboyant entertainment will get the chance to see a ‘smackdown’ up close and personal.

Shooting Star Wrestling (SSW), the Yorkshire equivalent of the spectacular WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), will be holding a bout in Holmfirth early next year.

The wrestling extravaganza will come live from the Picturedrome on February 5 and will feature talent from around the world, including the UK, America and Mexico. On the card, two top SSW wrestlers get a chance of a lifetime – an opportunity to advance to the huge European Heavyweight Championship tournament in Germany next April.

The fight will be between Stixx, aka The Heavyweight House of Pain, and Paul Malen – two of England’s leading wrestlers.

Stixx has already faced off with WWE legends Terry Funk and Mick Foley while Paul Malen is one of the England’s premier wrestlers.

Another highlight of the event is the special Tag Team Challenge Match between team Hubba Bubba Lucha (Bubblegum and Mexican superstar El Ligero) and Fight Club (Kid Fite and Liam Thompson).

Several other bouts are also planned including for the first time a Loser Wears a Dress match.

The cult WWE events, broadcast on TV to 145 countries, are followed by legions of fans.

Every week in the United States, the shows attract 16m viewers - and 40% of those are female.
