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!
