And promoter promo Graham McKay is buzzing bu uzzing ahead of this special show.

He said: “It’s good that we have managed to bag Pac’s first Scottish booking since he left WWE.

“I have wanted to get a hold of him for years, but it’s just never been possible until now.

“It’s definitely one of the biggest shows I have hosted, the line- up is star- studded.

“I always think every show is the biggest ever – until the next one.”

It’s not just the stacked cards and massive talent that helps the BCW shows.

One other thing that sets the BCW shows apart from other indie shows is the pyrotechni­cs on display.

Graham said: “I think people expect to go to the Grand Hall and have a small show.

“I don’t think they realise how much work goes into it and how much value for money they are getting.

“Some of the displays we have are as close to a huge show as you will get.

“The names we have had come down the ramp are incredible, some of the biggest stars in the WWE.

“There have been four or five Hall of Famers at our shows, which is unbelievab­le.

“Considerin­g it works out at £ 10 for a three- hour show if you buy a group ticket, what more can you ask?

“You’d spend that money on a Chinese.” He added: “It’s hard work putting the shows on but I wanted to top what I have done in previous shows.

“Every show I get the question ‘ How are you going to top that one?’ but I see that as a challenge.

“And then the next show comes around, and the fans seem to be amazed every time which is great.

“Sometimes it all gets on top of me as I work full- time as well, so it really does drain on me.

“But when I see how much it means to fans it just makes it all worth it.

“I hear of some of the fans counting down as it’s Christmas they’re waiting for – and that’s just so nice to hear.”
