Sports Entertainment Presents - Wrestling In Bayou La Batre


Professional is a word we hear a lot these days, usually connected with the word "wrestling." It has holds different connotations and evokes different images, depending on what city/area one happens to be in. In Mobile, Alabama, Professional Wrestling is back after a long absence, in the form of a collaborative effort between Marcel Pringle, cousin of Percy, and Bob "Hardcore" Holly of WWE fame, who also has roots in the Mobile community.

On Friday, Sept 18th, at the Bayou La Batre Civic Center, a good old fashioned showdown is in the works, a wrestling "Hullabaloo" pitting WWE Superstar "Hardcore" Holly against Luke Hawx. It's going to be a wall shaker!

Bullet Bob and Steve Armstrong carry on the family feud against Marcel Pringle, with Joe Gibson as his TTP (Tag Team Partner). Queen Milessa will be manager for the Pringle / Gibson team, so you know there's gonna be some shenannigans at ringside.

Mobile, Alabama's own Achy Breaky Kid will square off against The Giant Mountain Man in what is sure to be a battle of psychology against raw Hillbilly Power, as the 6'11" Mountain Man tends to smush everything he intends to.

Two more of my favorites, high flying, fast moving "Son of Old School" Cowboy Billy Wayne will be going against "Former Chololate Boy Wonder, Now you can call me MISTER" Marcus Gibbes.

Carlos De Angelo, a very dangerous foe will be in the ring against Scott Black. Expect surprises in that one because Carlos has moves that are the envy of Mayflower!

The $12 and $10 and $6admission is fair considering the talent - but also because this is a fund raiser for the Bayou Hurricanes Atheletic Program. Sports Entertainment is on the high road, working for charity especially since many Mobile area Wrestling productions ignore charity in favor of profit motivation, which is fine; but wouldn't it be cool to "give back" the way these guys are.

DJ's Lounge, Shotgun Willie's and Mobile Ink are sponsors for the event which will help sports in the area of storm tossed Bayou La Batre, Alabama.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention "Roll Tide" in behalf of Percy Pringle III, whom I soeculate might show up to lend a little moral support to his "cuz."

The kids would sure enjoy Undertaker's pal, thats for sure.

If you see one Mobile area wrestling show this weekend, make it the family friendly charity wrestling bash in Bayou La Batre, Alabama.

Roll, Tide, PPIII.
