CAN MASTER OF 619 HANG WITH SUBMISSION SPECIALIST?
HUGE TITLE MATCH ADDED TO NEWCASTLE CARD
All-time great wrestling superstar Rey Mysterio will fight for a title at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle this Thursday night.
The masked high-flyer, famous the world over and fresh off an appearance in WWE’s Royal Rumble, will challenge Britain’s Mark Haskins for the 5 Star Wrestling: Tap or Snap Championship.
The bout where victory can only come by submission or ‘tap out’ will be part of a live television wrestling spectacular at the venue going out on the FreeSports TV channel in the UK.
Other matches on the show include the 5 Star Champion John Morrison defending against fellow American Jake Hager (formerly known as Jack Swagger in WWE) and the first ever 5 Star Tag Team Champions will be crowned when UK high-flyers ‘The Phoenix’ Jody Fleisch and El Ligero battle Durham-based ITV Love Island contestant and pro wrestler Adam ‘Flex’ Maxted and his partner Charlie Sterling.
Rampage Brown, who is also based in Durham, will also fight on the card, as will legendary former WWE superstar Rob Van Dam, major names including Carlito and ‘The Masterpiece’ Chris Masters, and the controversial ‘Liverpool’s Number 1’ Zack Gibson who caused a huge stir with his words and actions when 5 Star Wrestling debuted live on FreeSports last week.
The Newcastle event is part of a weekly tour all around the country in which 5 Star Wrestling will come from a different city every Thursday night with a three-hour television show live on FreeSports from 7pm to 10pm.
