THE MICK McMANUS WORLD OF WRESTLING

Enjoy a ringside seat for all the action, excitement and atmosphere at London's biggest wrestling occasion in years from a packed Fairfield Hall. Relish the thrills when All-Star Promotions bring together explosive Dave 'Fit' Finlay and dynamic Danny Collins for a sizzling clash of champions to which the exotic presence of Finlay's wife and manager Princess Paula adds an even more controversial edge.

Marvel at the sheer skill of World title holder Johnny Saint, 'Golden Boy' Steve Grey, karate ace 'Iron Fist' Clive Myers and the outspoken Mal Sanders when they battle it out in a special three-bout Trophy Knockout event.

And finally, there's tag team mayhem with one of Britain's very best heavyweights - 'Super Destroyer' Pete Roberts - joining forces with the young American sensation Steve Adonis from South Carolina to take on legendary Samurai sword bearer Kendo Nagasaki - complete with manager George Gillette - and partner Skull Murphy, the indestructible West Country bundle of energy.

It's the 'Best of British' presented like you've never seen it before by one of the biggest names in the wrestling business. An hour of spectacular entertainment to rival anything anywhere.
