News from the past event at Paavli Kultuurivabrik and what is coming up soon

This past weekend in Tallinn at Paavli Kultuurivabrik, we crowned a new SLAM! Wrestling champion in Rakvere’s Mikk Vainula who defeated Toronto’s “Back Breaker” Dylan Broda for the honor at SLAM! Wrestling Fiesta: George Hackenschmidt Cup at Paavli Kultuurivabrik in Tallinn on May 2.

With the fantastic viral media exposure that this event has gotten in both Postimees, Elu24 and Kanal2 “Reporter”, we thought to invite the Estonian media to Mikk Vainula’s first championship title defense, scheduled for May 30 in Stockholm, Sweden in conjunction with Comic Con Nordics the same day, as we present Stockholm SLAM! III wrestling show at Telefonbriken in Stockholm.

Mikk Vainula will be defending the SLAM! Championship against the challenge of longtime Stockholm veteran wrestler Marcus of Man at our event on May 30. Tickets on sale NOW: https://nortic.se/ticket/event/81743

In addition, this past weekend Estonian-born Artur Arder won the George Hackenschmidt Cup at Paavli Kultuurivabrik, defeating Ireland’s respected Scotty Molloy in the tournament finals. Artur is a native of Tallinn and has previously wrestled nearly four years in the amateur ranks across the Baltics before turning pro in 2022 when he joined our SLAM! Wrestling Boot Camp at the age of 17.

Congratulations to our amazing talents who made good this past weekend and made history!

Spring SLAM! 31.5.2025

SLAM! Wrestling Entertainment palaa Vantaalle lauantaina 31. toukokuuta Lumosaliin! Spring SLAM! on huikea koko perheen kesäkauden avajaiset!

Spring SLAM! sisältää historiallisen pääottelun tikaskamppailussa, jossa voittaja saa mahdollisuuden SLAM!-mestaruusotteluun! Tässä ns. “Tables, Ladders and Chairs” -ottelussa kohtaavat “Back Breaker” Dylan Broda Kanadasta, Herco Wisky Argentiinasta, “The Boxer” Miika Forsström Suomesta, Artur Arder Virosta, Jack Veneno Jr. Dominikaanisesta tasavallasta sekä TT Suosalo Suomesta. Tämä huippuvaarallinen ottelumuoto sanelee jo itsessään sen, että vauhtia ja vaarallisia tilanteita ei jää puuttumaan!

SLAM! mestaruusottelussa “The Rebel” StarBuck puolustaa titteliään Marcus of Mania vastaan, joka saapuu haastamaan suoraan Manin saarelta. Ottelu juontaa juurensa suuresta yllätyksestä joukkueottelussa Tukholmassa, huhtikuun alussa, jolloin Marcus of Man onnistui selättämään StarBuckin. Nyt Marcus of Man vaatii itselleen mestaruusottelua SLAM! mestaruudesta Spring SLAM!:ssä.

SLAM! naisten mestaruusottelussa hallitseva mestari “Scandinavian Dragon” Aliss Ink saapuu Ruotsista puolustamaan mestaruuttaan “Golden Amazonia” eli Heidi Katrinaa vastaan. Nämä kaksi kohtaavat jo kuukautta aiemmin Power SLAM Mikkeli tapahtumassa 3.5. ja jää nähtäväksi kuka selviää sieltä Vantaalle mestaruuden kanssa. Heidi Katrina oli historian ensimmäinen SLAM! naisten mestari ja nälkä mestaruustitteliä kohtaan on kasvanut jälleen. On aika asettaa nykyinen mestari entistä vastaan ja katsoa kuka todella on kovin!

SLAM! Wrestlingin valkovenäläinen tulokas ja fyysinen huippuyksilö “The Beast from the East” Dmitry saa vastaansa toisen tulokkaan, sympaattisen ja kotimaisen Hakkis Hakkaraisen!

Uusien kotimaisten kykyjen ottelussa kohtaavat Toni “Loisto” Laine ja räjähtävä maskimies Reptilio!

 

Tapahtuma nähtävissä myös suorana lähetyksenä Iltalehden nettisivuilla!

BREAKING NEWS: SLAM! WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP DECLARED VACANT

Following this past Saturday’ s Circle City SLAM! II event in Hamina, Finland, the SLAM! Women’s Championship title has been declared vacant due to a serious arm injury incurred by the latest titleholder, ” Queen of Sisu” Lexa Valo.

Lexa appeared in Hamina this past weekend and relinquished the championship due to uncertain time off due to injury, plus the fact that the Wrestling SLAM! II supershow next month on January 17 in Seinäjoki, Finland at Rytmikojaamo is a date that the SLAM! Women’s Championship was promised to be featured and defended.

Lexa attempted to gift and pass on the title to her friend, Nelli Vertigo, who just recently moved back to Finland from Argentina. However, SLAM! Wrestling officials immediately revoked the action, stripping the SLAM! Women’s Championship and holding it up, declaring the title vacant.

Thus, Wrestling SLAM! II on January 17 in Seinäjoki will guarantee that we will see a new SLAM! Women’s Champion crowned, as we fulfill contractual obligations which have promised the advertised SLAM! Women’s Championship match at this very event.

The current challenger for the SLAM! Women’s Championship is the premiere female wrestler in all of the Nordics, “Scandinavian Dragon” Aliss Ink.

Stepping up to face Aliss will be former French Olympic wrestling team competitor, Mila Smidt, who is one of the most celebrated, distinguished and dominant top ten women in all of European professional wrestling.

The inclusion of Mila Smidt is notable on two fronts: Seinäjoki is the home of Greco Roman and freestyle wrestling standouts in Finland, plus, this will be the first-ever meeting of these two world-class female athletes in the world of professional wrestling at large, and is a dream match waiting to happen!

Get ready for history in the making on January 17 at Rytmikojaamo in Seinäjoki at Wrestling SLAM! II.
