This is high-octane energy from start to finish. Riot City Wrestling delivers entertainment to its audience like no other. An Adelaide-based company; Riot City has a cult following which is obvious as you sit amongst them in the crowd and they throw back to the wrestlers the same energy the performers deliver.

The characters were so well developed; if you are a first-timer to a show, you are able to capture glimpses of storylines you found yourself getting behind, which is helped by the fans responding with genuine passion – this is an immersive show, as the crowd gets behind their favourites and sitting in the front row, expect to be in the action! Photo Credit: Sachin Vogt Photography @svogt_photography The diversity of the audience and, without giving too much away, the narrative of giving women a platform for showcasing athleticism as well, there was air of inclusivity that you wouldn’t expect to find in a tent at the back of Gluttony late at night. I would highly recommend this spectacular show of athleticism, storytelling and muscle – like me, you might be a convert to Wrestling. 4.5/5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 Riot City Wrestling has two more shows on Saturday 16th of March and Sunday 17th March ticket link here
