The Apocalypse Wrestling Federation presents “All Star Memories : A Tribute To Mad Dog Rex” Live THIS SUNDAY!!

(Whitby, ON)– Class Act Dinner Theatre (104 Consumers Drive) in Whitby, ON will be the place to be this Sunday afternoon at 2 PM as Canada’s Apocalypse Wrestling Federation once again explodes into action with a very special afternoon of professional wrestling excitement. The card titled “AWF ALL STAR MEMORIES: A Tribute to Mad Dog Rex” will honour Canadian veteran NEIL “MAD DOG REX” CARR who passed away in December of last year after suffering from cancer.

Carr gained notoriety all across Canada in the mid to late 1980’s by appearing on the popular All Star Wrestling television program broadcast throughout Canada out of the BCTV television studios in Burnaby, British Columbia. Carr was also one of the very first students trained by wrestling trainer Ron Hutchison out of the world famous Sully’s Gym in Toronto. Upon graduating from the school Carr’s first match ever was on a World Wrestling Federation television taping held in his hometown of Brantford, Ontario.

Matches scheduled for this Sunday include*:

AWF Scramble Match to determine the #1 Contender to the AWF Championship!
(2 Wrestlers start the match with another wrestler entering every 3 minutes. The last wrestler left standing becomes the #1 contender to the AWF Title!)

The Unholy RYOT (6’6″, 275 lbs.) acc. by The CAESAR vs. “ALL KNIGHTER” JOEY KNIGHT

Dastardly DANNY DYNAMIC (acc. by The Grand Wizard of Wrestling Jr.) vs. The SQUEEGEE KID

Former AWF champion JACKAL vs. “Rock Star” JIMMY STONE

“The Cock of the Walk” WILL CALRISSIAN vs. “Amazing” KEVIN GRACE

“Flatliner” ASYLUM vs. RIP IMPACT

Also scheduled will be some very special tributes as well as the traditional tolling of the bell for both Mad Dog Rex and the recently departed “Macho Man” Randy Savage.

All of the action begins promptly at 2 PM. Tickets are available for purchase at the door. Class Act Dinner Theatre is air-conditioned, has free parking, and is a short distance away from the Whitby GO station.

Wrestling fans of ALL AGES are encouraged to attend Class Act Dinner Theatre THIS SUNDAY to see 2 1/2 to 3 hours of professional wrestling the way it use to be, perhaps the way it should still be and the way you like it!
