Happy Tuesday!
Andrew Bradley snapped today’s featured image at a Big West Wrestling event at the ARC Community Event Centre last weekend as Casey “The Midnight Marauder” Ferreira (a villain) glared at the crowd before moonsaulting onto his opponent (Evan “The Nanaimo Kid” Ashford) from the top rope. 100+ fans attended, according to Bradely, and the announcer said $1,500 was raised for Powell River Action Centre Food Bank and local drug rehab programs, “in loving memory of Gordon Lipka,” (1984 - 2021).
