LIGHT-HEARTED GRAPPLIN’ TO HELP ARRG TRAVEL COSTS!
by the Grand Poobah, ARRG Announcer
ARRG Nation has participated in the trivia nights. They’ve had their pictures taken with skaters to raise funds.
This fundraiser literally takes the cake….or in this case, jello.
ARRG will host its first-ever “sports entertainment-style jello wrastlin’ event” THIS Friday, June 24 at FUBAR (3108 Locust, Downtown St. Louis).
OKAY, BEFORE ANYONE GETS A PRECONCEIVED NOTION, LET’S PUT A FEW RUMORS TO REST RIGHT NOW!
Although it says “jello wrastlin’” on the flyer, DO NOT expect the evening to be filled with skimpy lingerie and suggestive themes that one would come to find at a gentlemen’s club on the East Side.
I know what some of the men are thinking…”darn.”
I know what some of the women are thinking as well…”darn.”
This event is not designed to embarrass individuals and the league. It is not designed to denigrate. This event is not about T & A…it’s more in the style of WWE.
The action will feature outrageous characters such as luchadores, superheroes, science fiction parodies, villains - and perhaps with luck - a children’s cartoon character or two. Expect over-the-top whackiness, plenty of chicanery, and most importantly, a good-natured night of fun.
I would say it’ll good clean fun, but as the matches are taking place inside a jello pit, I can’t guarantee that.
There’s $2 PBRs and door prizes will be up for grabs. Music will be performed by Rowdie of MIXTAPE.
And officiating the bouts will be St. Louis’ hilariously funny and funky punkrockers The F*** Off and Dies, featuring Story of the Year frontman Dan Marsala (yes, THAT Story of the Year!)
Doors open at 7pm. Belltime is at 8 pm. Cleanup immediately follows. Tickets are $10 each, which does not include free dessert.
The event supports the ARRG travel teams for the remainder of 2011. And let’s face it, travel ain’t cheap these days.
Support ARRG in this good-humored night of grapplin’. After all…there’s always room for jello!
The Grand Poobah (not THAT Grand Poobah!) and Hells LaBelle are bout announcers for the Arch Rival Roller Girls. Check back in this section on Mondays for the latest in ARRG news and information.
