Grapple Den Wrestling Party Returns! 1890s vs 1990s: Pro Wrestling Century Battle!

After years away, New York City's Grapple Den Wrestling Party returns to Manhattan this June!
The theme will be:

1890s vs 1990s: Pro Wrestling Century Battle!

Carnival vs Cable TV...
Pleats & Gathers vs Skin Tight Spandex...
Greco-Roman vs The Walls of Jericho....

Separated by a century, the 1890s and 1990s go head to head in a celebration of Pro Wrestling History...

No costume required, BUT, you're encouraged to come dressed as either Old Timey 1890s carnival wrestlers (when pro wrestlers fought competitively to wow the crowd) or neon 1990s larger-than-life WWF-style wrestlers (storyline drama rules the ring). Which period will you represent?

A wrestle-based party of sweaty and/or costumed bouts, where participants ask each other to "dance" down on the mats.
An evening spectacle of friendly matches and thematic antics.
A chance to throw down! ...or to simply recline and watch the action unfold.

Grapple Den is a neutral meeting ground for fun-seeking grapplers and wrestling fans of all shapes and sizes. Our parties are open to people of all genders and experience levels, 18 years and older. The mats are the dance floor. Party-goers wrestle well into the evening, participating in one-on-one matches and multi-way rumbles.

Rough estimates! Wrestle-logistics are often unstable

8 pm Doors Open!

Participant matches take place throughout the evening, using the party's "dance floor" mat spaces. Various Feature interludes take place during the evening as well. Participant matches take a brief pause during these:

8:10 pm Beginner Intro Lesson
9 pm Scissor Circle: Squeeze Power Exhibition!
10 pm Pro-Style Performance Centuries Duel
11 pm The Royal Rumble: 1890s vs 1990s Battle Royale
