WRESTLING fans can “grapple” a piece of the action next week when some star names hit the town for an American Rumble Wrestling Spectacular.

Staged at Bournemouth’s Pavilion Ballroom, the show promises high-flying action and thrills from the top rope and beyond, as star names from around the globe get to grips in the bouts that really matter in the world of wrestling.

A spokesman for Premier Promotions told the Echo: “It’s great entertainment for all the family, and the best value ticket in town. So bring the kids, bring granny – but don't forget the tranquillizers!”

International stars appearing include the Italian Stallion Antonio De Luca, the wild man from the Welsh valleys Wild Boar, Gambia's Saime Sahin and the English Lion Eddie Ryan.

Highlights include the Bournemouth Rumblemania Trophy, in which the wrestlers can only be eliminated by being thrown out of the ring over the top rope- the last man standing is the winner.

The show starts at 7.30pm on August 27. Tickets cost £11. To book, call BH Live Tickets on 0844 576 3000
