Wrestling hits mat at Lynfield

If it's pro-wrestling you're after, then some of its finest exponents are in town this weekend when the Australasian Wrestling Federation (AWF) makes its debut in Auckland.

As well as local blokes like Billy Sparx and Adam Avalanche going into battle, the main bout this Saturday at the Lynfield YMCA is between Australia's fiery number one wrestler TNT and Japan's Taku Iwasa for the AWF Australasian Championship title.

There's also a transtasman match-up between New Zealand's D-Hoya and Aussie JT Robinson.

Bell-time for the bruising action is 7pm. Let the battles begin.
