Former WWE star to perform at Nuneaton wrestling event this Friday

A world famous wrestling star will touch down in Nuneaton this Friday night.

The star - who will TRAVEL all the way from the USA - will headline Nuneaton's Pro Wrestling event on June 19.

Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, Val Venis is possibly the most famous wrestler to ever head over to Nuneaton to compete.

As a star of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) - and formerly World Wrestling Federation (WWF) - Venis was a star of the company's Attitude Era during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Venis enjoyed a hugely successful 11-year run in the world famous PROMOTION, holding tours worldwide in front of live audiences and competing on TV in front of millions of viewers.

Also known as The Big Valbowski and Chief Morley, Venis was a two time Intercontinental Champion before finding success as a tag-team wrestler with Lance Storm in 2003.

The pair won the World Tag-Team Championships just two years after Venis held the European Championship.

The promoter of the event - and wrestler in his own right - Mad Dog Maxx, aka Matt Powell, is thrilled to have him on the bill: “I present wrestling SHOWS ALL year round in the Midlands and surrounding areas. We get great crowds, especially here in Nuneaton. They are wild, noisy and enthusiastic. I am so happy to reward their loyalty and their support by bringing them a truly international star in the form of Val Venis!”

Venis will be accompanied by a full mix of UK wrestling talent, including ITV World of Sport Star, Blondie Barratt, who is a former tag partner of the legendary Kendo Nagasaki, a campaigner from British Wrestling’s golden TV era.

The show will take place this Friday at the Chilvers Coton Liberal Club, 52 Henry Street, Nuneaton, CV11 5SQ.

Doors will OPEN at 7pm with the show starting at 7.30pm.

Tickets are priced at just £6 each or £20 for a family of four, TICKETS ARE ON SALE at the club in advance or call 07747 441 028 to reserve or for MORE INFO.
