Lively card set for Pictou show May 26

The Hector Arena has proven one of the best venues for professional wrestling as shown by past events presented by the Pictou Lobster Carnival.

On Friday, May 26, the stars of the squared circle return.

“It’s the fourth year we’ve done this and the support Pictou County shows to both the Pictou Lobster Carnival and the athletes in the ring is outstanding,” says Ryan Mader, event organizer. “The crowd in Pictou rivals any other venue in the Maritimes, maybe even the country.”

Former Prince Edward Island champion, Kowboy Mike Hughes is returning with his more than 20 years of experience. A hard-hitting throwback to wrestlers of yesteryear, Hughes is as tough as they come between the ropes, though outside the ring, he’s known for his many charitable efforts on the Red Rock.

Titus “The East Coast Predator” has his sights set on capturing the claiming trophies. As the New Brunswick champion, he aims to prove himself as one of the top talents in the world.

“Championship gold, trophies and cash prizes are all things that I collect with my talents,” says Titus. “I’m the Baddest Man in the Maritimes and I can go toe to toe with any punk who steps in that ring.”

The wrestling event will also include appearances by local grappler Lincoln Steen, The X-fit Beast Kirk Aube, crowd pleaser Chip Chambers and many other talented wrestling stars.

The doors for the familyfriendly event open at 6 p.m. for advance ticket holders, with the show beginning at 7 p.m.

Tickets can be purchased at Big Al’s Convenience in New Glasgow, the Lyons Brook Rite Stop, Millside General Store, Woody’s Variety and East End Grocery for $10 for seniors and children 12 and under or $12 for adults. Tickets at the door are $15.

Funds raised from the event go toward the Pictou Lobster Carnival taking place July 7-9.
