SLAM! Wrestling Finland returns to Helsinki on Friday, November 15th, and things are going to get intense at Malmin työväentalo, as there are two championship matches and a whole super package of action in store! The weather may be cooling down, but this will be a scorching autumn night!
SLAM! Underground guarantees a raucous burst of action for the whole family, featuring a total of six international professional wrestling matches.
In the Women’s SLAM! Championship match, reigning champion “Queen of Sisu” Lexa Valo defends her title against Poland’s Diana Strong. The fiery Pole transitioned from powerlifting to the wrestling ring and has been making a clean sweep on international stages in recent years, showing no mercy. Fresh from her American tour this fall, Diana is in the best shape of her life and expects nothing but victory in Helsinki. The German-Finnish Lexa Valo will face a tough challenge and will have to fight for her life if she hopes to retain her championship title.
In the Men’s SLAM! Championship match, reigning champion “The Rebel” StarBuck faces the American muscleman Zeus Malaki. Zeus has visited Finland before and has demonstrated near-total dominance, and he hasn’t always played fair tactically. This ruthless veteran from Chicago openly and shamelessly challenged StarBuck in October, so a tough night is in store for the champion. Will the American striker manage to surprise Helsinki and take the SLAM! championship belt back to the United States?
Herco Wisky, who made a big impression a couple of years ago in Tampere, Finland, arrives from Argentina to face Nick Lukkonen. On his first tour in Finland, Herco brought unprecedented speed and agility, and Lukkonen will face great challenges against a challenger whose match tactics are surprising, fast, and sometimes even unfair. Originally from Minnesota and now settled in Finland, Nick Lukkonen has become a crowd favorite over the past few years and will fight to the last drop of sweat.
Born in El Salvador and now active in Europe, newcomer Hache Gavidia has set out to build his wrestling career with confidence and was eager to come to Finland for a real challenge. SLAM! Wrestling Finland decided to answer the call and set up a match between Gavidia and Finland’s ring veteran, “Metal Warrior” Stark Adder. Gavidia may bring a bag full of surprises, but Stark Adder won’t be led like a sheep to the slaughter. Will it be a fair game, or will the encounter turn into an outright brawl?
Estonia’s experienced powerhouse Big Mikk Vainula teams up with newcomer, Hamina’s own Will Carnage. These guys had been taunted all the way from Stockholm, and from Sweden comes an evenly matched duo known as the “Foreign Legion”: Marcus of Man and Jack Veneno Jr. Veneno is a third-generation wrestler and almost got into a brawl with the audience in Helsinki this summer. Originally from the Dominican Republic, Jack Veneno Jr. and Marcus of Man, hailing from the Isle of Man, are at least championship-level trash-talkers, but has the time finally come to shut these rowdies up?
“The Bad Boy of Tampere” Johnny McMetal has, in his overconfident style, started bragging again and managed to anger Helsinki’s own Eemi Helén. “Nordic Warrior” Eemi is young, fast, and strong, but McMetal rarely plays fair. While Eemi strikes like a cannonball, Johnny has extensive match experience on his side. So, experience and a nasty attitude meet youthful zeal and determination.
