City return for dwarf wrestling

-

DWARF wrestling will be making a return to south Wales next year.

Extreme Dwarfanato­rs Wrestling toured the UK in October, including events held at Coyote Ugly in Cardiff and Swansea.

The events hit global headlines due to two shows being cancelled in England, and the Restricted Growth Associatio­n (RGA) described the event as a “freak show”.

But the wrestlers hit back, citing discrimina­tion, and carried on with their shows in Wales, which were both hailed as a success.

They are now set to return in April.

They will be at the Coyote Ugly venue in Mary Street, Cardiff on April 1, and the venue in Wind Street, Swansea on April 2.

And they are also set to debut an online TV show called NothingEls­eOn.TV, a Cardiff- based online television channel, offering a platform for anyone to showcase their films and entertainm­ent series.

Sean McMahon, founder of the channel said: “We worked alongside Extreme Dwarfanato­rs Wrestling for their UK tour, and have captured the atmosphere, the showmanshi­p and the excitement that their first UK tour achieved.

“Yes, they hit headlines as some lobbyists thought they would be laughed and poked fun at, but as you will see on the show, this couldn’t have been further from the truth.

“We currently feature wrestling from all over the world, including Israel, Hungary, Morocco, UK, USA, Ukraine and even China.”

The first full UK tour last October was a complete sell-out, and during the first episode on NothingEls­eOn.TV this Saturday at 8pm, they will announce the full dates of their return tour for next year.
