Amid the vibrant chaos of the Adelaide Festival Fringe, where comedy, cabaret and circus usually dominate the program, Riot City Wrestling delivers something altogether different! An adrenaline-charged night of theatrical combat turned The Peacock at Gluttony into a roaring wrestling arena.
The athleticism on display is genuinely impressive with wrestlers demonstrating the extraordinary strength, agility and showmanship that professional wrestling demands. Suplexes, body slams (which included one super impressive double summersault off the top turnbuckle), and high-impact high-flying throws come thick and fast, and the way these athletes launch one another across the ring — and occasionally into the audience — is nothing short of incredible.
In the wonderfully eclectic world of the Fringe, Riot City Wrestlingproves that sometimes the most exhilarating theatre is found not only on a stage, but also in a wrestling ring! If you want a thoroughly entertaining and unforgettable fun filled outing – head for Riot City Wrestling – you wont regret it!
