GET ready to cheer the good guys and boo the bad ones, as wrestling returns to Bournemouth on Sunday.

All Star Wrestling promises an explosive opening to their 45th year of promotions with international tag action featuring 'Vampire Warrior' Gangrel in an afternoon programme at Bournemouth's Pavilion Ballroom at 3pm.

The team showdown will see fang-toothed ring legend Gangrel, a star with both WWF and its more recent successor WWE through two decades, joining home force Thunder, the 20 stone metal masked marauder who defeated Dean Allmark to become Superslam Championship holder back at the end of November.

Thunder is determined to maintain his momentum alongside Gangrel but they will face some tough Bournemouth opposition from Norfolk brothers Roy and Zack Knight, better known as the UK Hooligans, who have recently returned from Germany where their aggressive and direct approach won a tournament to decide new European tag champions.

There will also be some outstanding solo action with wrestlers on view including Devon-born heavyweight contender Oliver Grey who was the stand-out star of last summer's All Star action when returning after a two year stint with the WWE's NXT division in the United States.

London will be represented by Bermondsey-born heavyweight favourite James Mason who is currently producing some of the most outstanding performances of his career, while Wirral-based Dean Allmark will be starting out on the road to re-establish himself as Superslam number one after Thunder ended his reign stretching back more than two years.

There will also be a touch of Mexican style ring flair and aerial artistry with high flying masked luchador El Ligero making a welcome return to Bournemouth.
