THE Americans are coming to Worcester to take on the best of Britain's wrestlers, including our very own Jonny the Body.

Jonny, whose real name is John Stallard of Mayfield Road, off Astwood Road, and his tag-team partner, 'Maniac' Maddog Maxx, will take on The Patriot, a former WWE and WCW star, and his tag-partner, Shawn 'Showtime' Christopher.

John said it promises to be an entertaining show.

"It's basically nearly two hours of probably five matches and it is good family entertainment. Spect-ators can jeer the baddies and cheer the goodies."

John is relishing the chance to grapple with the Americans and has been putting in the training.

He said: "I have been quite busy over the last few months. I go to a lot of holiday centres to wrestle so that has been good training."

The event is due to take place on Saturday, October 8, at the Green Centre, off Gresham Road, Dines Green, from 7pm.

Tickets cost £5. To book call 01905 429628.
