THE All Caribbean Wrestling (ACW) tour is making another stop in The Bahamas on October 19 to present the “Fight for Paradise” live pro wrestling event.

The Caribbean wrestling brand garnered lots of support from the Bahamian wrestling fan base this summer at “Baha Bash” and decided to return this fall with a more star-studded card.

The inaugural event was hosted at the Baha Mar resort but has moved to the Kendal GL Isaacs Gymnasium and doors will open at 1pm with the main event scheduled to start at 6pm. 

Event promoter Jeff “JB” Brazzle was pleased with the support ACW received in July and is expecting October’s event to draw an even bigger crowd. 

“This time we expect more fans to come out. We expect those that missed the opportunity to get that opportunity now especially with us bringing even more exciting superstars. The first time we had WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry in the house but this time he decided to bring some of his friends. 

“We are bringing in three more Hall of Famers, former general manager of Smackdown Teddy Long, former WWE tag team champions Accolades Protection Agency with ‘Farooq’ and ‘Bradshaw’. 

“That is four WWE Hall of Famers for the first time in Nassau, Bahamas. I think the people that missed out are going to show up and show out like they did the last time,” he said.

The card will feature a number of familiar faces in wrestling, including former WWE Superstar JTG, ACW Champion Elijah “The Pope” Burke, Lince Dorado and Ring of Honour Kenny King.

Three championship matchups will also take place that weekend.

The Bahamas’ very own Kaylia Capri, also known as Sierra Breeze with the WOW Superheroes brand, will challenge ACW women’s champion Mazzerati for the title.

Wrestler Izaiah Zane and Tito Colado will go head-to-head for the digital media championship. And FEW Flares women’s champion Cassandra Golden will put her title on the line against Amira on that night.

Capri is currently undefeated on home soil after earning a three-count pinfall victory against JC Storm this summer. The ACW women’s champion also scored a victory via pinfall at “Baha Bash” against Vanessa Kraven.

Brazzle is looking forward to an unforgettable title match between the two women. “The powers that be behind the scenes got together and based on her hot streak and everything she has done, former NXT superstar and Nassau’s own Kaylia Capri is finally getting her opportunity to challenge the ACW women’s champion Mazzerati. That is going to be huge,” he said.

The ACW Caribbean tour made a stop in Kingston, Jamaica for the Jam Slam wrestling event in August. Recently, the company landed a deal to take their live pro wrestling show to Bridgetown, Barbados for July 12 next year.

The event promoter encouraged Bahamians to support their brand once again for an even better experience this time around.

“We are bringing bigger and better things. We are bringing exactly what pro wrestling should look like when it comes live to your arena. Every time we show up it should be better and any event that you do the next one should be better. We are bringing not one but four Hall of Famers. We got three championship matches and we are gonna be filming for a new television network that is gonna be aired in the Caribbean and that is because of the support of the Bahamian people,” he said.
