Kaieteur Sports – The wait is almost over. With only hours separating Guyanese wrestling fans from the opening bell, anticipation is reaching fever pitch as All Caribbean Wrestling (ACW) prepares to unleash the much-anticipated Georgetown Smash today at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
For fans who have long watched their wrestling heroes through a screen, tonight offers something different the chance to see the action, drama, athleticism and spectacle unfold just feet away.
And ACW is bringing plenty of firepower.
Headlining the star-studded international cast are Homeboy and G.O.D/ROH Tag Team Champion Kenny King, ACW Women’s Champion Kaylia Capri, former WWE superstar Da Pope Elijah Burke, Paula Mayfield, and a host of other international wrestling stars.
But if that is not enough to get the crowd on its feet, the appearance of one of professional wrestling’s most recognisable figures certainly should.
WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry, the “World’s Strongest Man” will make a special appearance, adding another heavyweight layer to an already loaded evening.
The excitement was already visible yesterday when wrestling fans gathered at the Soma Dream Hotel and Houston Hotel for an official meet-and-greet with several of the visiting stars.
For many patrons, it was an opportunity to move beyond the television screen and get up close and personal with some of the biggest names associated with professional wrestling.
But the real business begins today.
From 4:00 p.m., the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall is expected to take on a distinctly WWE-style atmosphere as fans, particularly youngsters get the opportunity to meet and take photographs with some of the featured stars before attention turns to the wrestling card at 6:00 p.m.
Then, the lights go down and the action takes over.
The body slams. The tackles. The high-impact bumps. The near falls. The roar of the crowd.
Every movement inside the ring will have an audience only metres away, creating the kind of atmosphere that television simply cannot reproduce.
For the wrestlers, it will be about performance and pride. For the fans, it is a chance to become part of the spectacle.
And with international stars, championship talent and a WWE Hall of Famer under one roof, Georgetown Smash promises to be much more than another night of wrestling — it is a full-blown wrestling experience.
Organisers are encouraging patrons to arrive early and secure their seating, with a strong turnout expected.
The countdown is nearly finished.
The ring is ready. The stars are here. Georgetown is waiting. Now, it is time for the Georgetown Smash.
