For nearly six years, Dundee and Angus Pro Wrestling and Fair City Wrestling have been entertaining fans across Dundee, Perth and Fife.

With a team that brings together almost two decades of experience in the ring, the group has built up a loyal following and a reputation for creating family-friendly shows with plenty of energy and spectacle.

The companies run monthly events, with Dundee and Perth as their main bases. Many families have made the shows part of their monthly routine, returning time and time again to see their favourite wrestlers and enjoy the atmosphere.

The shows don’t just deliver entertainment – they also provide support for the wider community.

The promoters regularly work with charities such as Cash for Kids, offering tickets to groups and families who might otherwise miss out.

Diversity is at the heart of what they do, with a roster that includes talent from the LGBTQ+ community and wrestlers from across the UK.

The group has also welcomed international stars, with Kidd Bandit being a recent big-name guest to appear in Dundee.

Their biggest night of the year is Ardlermania, the company’s annual megashow.

The third edition, held at the Ardler Complex on Saturday, once again sold out – marking three years in a row of packed crowds.

The event has become one of the highlights of the local entertainment calendar, bringing together hundreds of fans for a night of wrestling action.

But the excitement doesn’t stop there. There are still four more shows lined up for the rest of the year, including two big events in Dundee.

On 25 October, the Queens Hotel will host a Halloween Special featuring spooky-themed characters and matches, while 20 December will see the return of their Christmas show – another fan favourite.

With tickets available online in advance at www.ticketsource.co.uk/FCW – and cheaper than buying on the door – fans are encouraged to book early to avoid missing out.

The strong demand for tickets shows just how popular these wrestling nights have become in Dundee.

For those looking for a fun night out with plenty of action, laughs and drama, Dundee and Angus Pro Wrestling and Fair City Wrestling promise to deliver – and judging by their string of sell-out shows, they’re only going from strength to strength.
